God created time as a constant, continuous flow. Time does not occur in patches, or seasons, there are not days when time exists and other days when it doesn’t. In a spiritual experience, we may step out of time for a brief period, but it is still present, and the rest of the world is still experiencing it.
There is a global timeline that represents the entire history of our planet, as we continue to march forwards towards the end days. Each of us also has our own unique timeline, our personal history, which is a part of the global picture in the sense that we all branch out of that one massive timeline of earth. It is our unique timelines that I wish to focus on.
Because time is a continuum, it carries into every moment of the present the potential of accessing the treasures of the past. Your timeline, right now, at this moment, has more in it than just the days you have lived in your lifetime, and it carries more than just your personal experiences, though sadly, we are often disconnected from those too. One way of looking at this dynamic that most people are familiar with is the concept of generational blessings. Those are flowing to you through time. Somewhere in your background you have ancestors who were righteous, and you have access to their blessings because time is carrying them forward to you.
Now, a very important piece of this whole picture is the relationship between time and reality. Our reality changes as time moves forward. If you imagine time freezing, nothing would change. Everything would become motionless, stuck in whatever reality was present when it froze. Think of what happens over a five-minute period. Your body changes. Whatever your organs were doing at the beginning may have changed completely by the end. Maybe you move from one place to another. Your thoughts change. The weather might change. Sometimes the difference in reality in five short minutes can make or break us. There is a definite connection between the reality around us and the flow of time that causes that reality to change.
So, what I am particularly concerned with here is our perception of reality. What we see about where we are and where we could go, who we are, what we have, what the world looks like around us are all perceptions that may or may not fit the actual facts. I believe that our connection (or lack thereof!) to time has a definite effect on our perception of reality, and therefore, on our capacity to build in our lives. It also has a significant effect on our emotional stability.
It is important that you see the connection between time and reality as we move on to look at some tools. Your perception of who you are, where you are going (or not going!) and how you are going to get there are all influenced by your being grounded in time.

You’ve got me hooked Megan! I’m leaning at the edge of my seat to see where your dance with time will take us. : )
Megan, the brain is a narrative instrument. We like to make sense out of what is happening. We do this through the power of stories…
The story you told yourself as a child is different from the story you tell yourself as an adult, because you have more experiences to draw from.
Healing comes when we see ourselves as we see ourselves part of the story of God. We can rewrite sorrow so that the tears become jewels that the Father redeems.
Blessings all around you.
I appreciate you sharing.
Megan. Time is the interval between two re-occuring events. God created all things to come into existence, and all these things had a relational effect on each other. The heavens, the earth, plant life, animals, and man were all meant to be in existence together and to dwell in relational harmony. When there is a lack of harmony in the dwelling, there is an upset in this spiritual balance. Then, we need to say, “what caused the imbalance and the upset?” In the Garden of Eden, we know that the sin nature was responsible. So, today, we must inquire into our own lives as to where the sin in our lives first originated. This was the place where the harmony and the balance first became disturbed. In this way, it is the past very relative to the time we are now experiencing in the present, and can experience in our future. To re-write this experience comes out of the heart of God as he pours into our hearts. In repentance, he makes us new in his purpose. In prayer, he changes this course and makes our lives to be re-aligned to his plan and the blueprint that he saw from the beginning for our lives. So, yes, I hear what you are saying. Very insightful and look forward to all of your articles and how God speaks through you. Thank you and blessings! Wendy
Wendy, I agree that the realms we exist in are relationally intertwined. There is a massive ecosystem that exists in the natural and spiritual world, as different elements affect each other. There is definately a healing pilgrimage that is involved in our restoring the blueprint God originally designed, as well as reconciling with the painful aspects of our past. However, I would say it is more a matter of perspective than of re-writing the past, and most importantly, being willing to own it. When we emotionally engage with our past and our process, and see how God’s fingerprints were there all along, we can then access the treasures of wisdom, insight, authority, blessing, etc. that are there.
