July 29 – The Discordant Relationship
Millions walk in the shadows of deception. They are living a discordant, unconnected relationship with God. In fact, millions slip in and out of the shadows of God’s presence in blissful convenience. Millions bound off to the plain of carnality relishing in their own self-conscious thought life on a daily basis.
If we largely live our lives ignoring God and only calling on Him and praying when we want things, we are living in a discordant relationship with God. In this, we are disconnected and cut away from God and from the transforming Presence of the Spirit.
The Cords To be living a life of connection to the Lord, the “Golden Cord” is the powerful spiritual link to the Lord. While is it not mentioned specifically in the Word, it is working in our lives. There are three cords that link us very powerfully to three different realms.
* The first cord is the Umbilical Cord. Babies are born into this world with an umbilical cord connecting them to the life-giving source of the mother, which is cut after birth. The Umbilical Cord is the cord, which connects to physical life. If it is cut before time, the baby will die. This is the physical realm – the very first nutrition to a tiny baby came through a cord. The first very important cord, yet this cord has to be cut for the baby to experience life on Earth.
* The second cord is the Silver Cord mentioned in the Bible. The Silver Cord is the cord, which connects the soul to the body. If it is cut, a human dies. “Remember Him – before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. (Ecclesiastes 12:6-7). When people die, they enter the spirit world when the Silver Cord is cut. In near death experiences where people may even travel, go to a beautiful place or even see places of horror, the soul is still connected to the body and the Silver Cord is not cut yet. In other religious traditions, they too describe this spirit-body connection as the “Silver Cord.” The Silver Cord must be severed from the body-soul to experience spiritual life with physical death.
* The third cord is the “Golden Cord.” However, the word “Golden Cord” does not appear in the Bible, this is something I believe came as an illumination to give me a breakthrough in a very difficult time and this literally transformed my life. This is the cord, which connects the human spirit to the Spirit of God. When the Golden Cord is cut, it jettisons us to living in a discordant relationship with God in the lowlands.
We can override that by connecting to God daily, just being aware of Him daily, and not cutting Him out of our daily lives. In this way, greater Light, Truth, Love, and His presence will transform our lives.
