The Invisible Suitcase That's Packed for Life

By Lisa Cannon

This book will serve as a guide for people who are seeking for answers about the unknown, spirits that are tied into religious growth, to understand the knowledge that’s unknown in the dark, places in our life journey. But wisdom will bring the understanding that we all seek for in life through our experiences.

I want the reader to be aware that this book is not based on scientific evidence or any evidence-based material in the field of academia.

However, this book is based on a spiritual journey where God has brought me in my journey to help people in their walk of life, to understand the process of choice. It is my hope as a writer that the reader take away the skills and insight to help them move forward in their journey to seek for God’s guidance. They are the invisible parts that we carry in our suitcases that are packed away with our life experiences. The woman carries the little girl around inside, and the man carries the boy around to remember when he was him. Our life lessons are within. Question: what do you have in your invisible suitcase?

Waking Up in a Storm

Imagination, something invisible in the mind, an illusion, magic tricks, they say it is for kids. But how often we get tricked as adult. Our mind, it is powerful and it is spirit. It is the invisible part that works. It opens you up to what you really believe. The faculty or action of forming new ideas or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses, it’s the part of the mind that imagines things. It, my friends, is the camera in the fleshly body. Vision—it all starts with a vision. What do you really see? How big do you dream, and how can you bring it to reality? It’s what the fleshly man wants to know. How can I go from rags to riches? Images and photos are what sell; it’s the picture you remember. Some of us have a photographic memory. Like an elephant, they say: they don’t forget. We use our imagination daily; it tells us to pick what we believe. It is our mind, and it is real. From the day of our arrival here on earth from our mother’s womb, we came in the world with a mind. But the imagination is part of the mind. It is a shared emotion with reality, to distinguish what is real and what is fiction. In the human part, we birth fiction more than reality, and we feed our mind falsehoods and believe the very lie that we imagine rather than what is real. We never come and live life in reality. We stay in a storm in our mind, and a disaster is taking place, and no peace is in the mindset. Nothing is clear. And I can lose my life, lost in the mind because no guidance is there, and I fill my mind with fiction because I have no knowledge in reality ( the fleshly man ): human life, vision, what I see. Do I believe? What I dream in my mind, can I bring it to life? It’s the question we ask ourselves in the business world. Can I imagine something and believe in it enough and if I have the power of influence to bring other people into my vision my imagination becomes a reality. What I thought I birthed, I took a picture of it in vision, and I put it in my mind. I placed it with my thoughts, and what was invisible came to life—power from the Almighty God! It’s the invisible part that works inside the human body, spirit life that goes beyond the human life. What do you really see? is the question today. Open your eyes and walk with me in reality. It is the door to your very own life. Are you asleep or are you living in an illusion? Are you awake, living in reality?

Proverbs 4:16–19 states, For they sleep not, except they have done mischief: and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is darkness: they know not at what they stumble. There is no knowledge feeding the mind and falsehood when you are in the reality you are living now. What is really going on? The word from the Heavenly Father is in his son, Jesus Christ. He is the reality of life itself, what it is that’s true. The mindset that believers tap into by believing in the very hope he laid up for mankind, it was his beloved son. It was the word that came from heaven, which is spirit, to believe in the hope that he has given all man to know that he holds all power and authority in heaven and on earth. He is life, and reality is knowing the knowledge of wisdom; it is something only God can give. It is the only way you can transform into reality.

The storm that I am talking about is within. It is the invisible part, the mind. It is spiritual, a war that is taking place inside the fleshly body. You are at war in your mind to do what is right. We all are children of choice. What do you choose to believe? Good or evil: what do you think upon? Because it is what brings you into reality, spirit life (wisdom). Who is wise? Discernment is to recognize something in the spirit life to approve the spirit. What do you really see? What is being revealed to you in the fleshly body? Living in a storm where your imagination has taken you in a world of pretend, there is no guidance from God to protect you and to guard your mind. You are fighting in a storm that is within your mindset, and your thoughts are leading you to your master. There is a storm that is going on in your mind with the flesh, and the spirit is to reveal to you that God is not an illusion, but we stand still and we live in what was instead of what is. And we ask, what is really real? Walking into my reality, I can see what is going on and know that God is real. And he is the only one that can quiet the storm in your mind. Peace be still, and the winds and waters don’t move. It’s the power of God! He brought peace to the mind to all mankind when he sent his son down to die on the cross, for a chance for you to believe and to let you know he is real. But, nonbelievers, he allows you to stay in your imagination because you choose not to believe that he exists. Fiction to the mind, tossed to and fro in a disaster, an event that is really taking place, but to you it is pretend, a storm in your mindset where your thoughts are revealed. And in reality, it keeps you in your imagination. God’s instruction in scripture tells us to guard our mind. Wear a helmet, and put on the whole armor of God. A shield of protection is the word of God.

Proverbs 4:20–27 states, My son, attend to my words, Incline thine ear unto my sayings, Let them not depart from thine eyes: keep them in the mist of thy heart; for they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a wayward mouth, and perverse lips, put far from thee, let thy eyes look right on, And let thy eyelids look straight before thee. Make level the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to thy right hand nor to the left. Remove thy foot from evil.

Proverbs 5:1–2 states, My son attend unto my wisdom. Incline thine ear to my understanding. That thou mayest preserve discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. We are in the atmosphere circling around the earth in space where there is no bottom. The earth is around the sun. The sun doesn’t move. It’s the eye of God that shines on all. It’s a force of nature. God shines light all over the world. Whether it is cold or hot, there is only one sun that is still in place, shining down his glory to all. God is all seeing; the eye of the sun is his minister that he shines down. Because our God is a consuming fire! He sees all, and all are in his sight. As we rotate in the atmosphere, the surface of earth will give away, and the trumpets will blow; then the elements in heaven will begin. The moon will darken and will bleed, the sun will be moved out of place, and God will appear to bring his children home. They will meet him in the clouds because the earth will burn. God will purify all things unto himself. Evil will be no more. God has appeared, and nothing that is dark will be in his presence! Because he is God! Holiness is in his presence; darkness will disappear on sight, knees will bow at his presence, and honor will be shown in his glory! The transformation of the new body will take place on his arrival! Praise will be to God, and honor will be given. God has quieted the storm as we rotate on earth. Things are quiet, but we are still moving. He holds back the elements like the sea, wind, and fire for you to come into safety before his anger is unleashed. Then reality will be known that a storm is taking place, and we are right in the path of it. There is no place to escape because we are in the very eye of the twister! And it is the world; it’s spinning around. A disaster is headed our way, and there is no man that can stop the wrath of God! May God have mercy on your souls to run into safety.

It is who Jesus Christ is; it’s his blood that covers you in the flesh. He shed it for all mankind. The assembly is the whole world that is under God’s authority. And the pasture of people is the sheep for all who will come, that they will come and join his family through his son, the Savior of the world; he is the only way. And he, my friends, is the only one who can take you to safety. It’s his body; it is the place of safety—shelter for the fleshly body. When we think flesh, you think of a person. You are responsible for that person, and it is you. You are to teach the fleshly members discipline, the acts from your very own flesh, having control. In reality the runner that can run flows like the wind. And the swimmer swims like a fish. The fighter stings like a bee, as the famous Muhammad Ali said. And in the sports arena, Michael Jordan said, I believe I can fly. Freedom that is within that brings reality to the one who can believe. And the flesh is performance; it acts out the spirit that was hidden inside, and something extraordinary stands up! Then you begin to really believe in yourself, and God shows you the gift that he has placed inside you because you just believe. What an awesome and loving God! Sad to say, very few people will find what God has place inside of them. The heart flows the issue of life itself, to bring out the very best within. The highest degree a human can hold in the flesh is to be a Christian. That name is legacy; it’s the only name that is meaningful. That name was before and will be after life itself. It is life in the form of a human being! To show you the very breath of the invisible, God! Humankind—it’s the power of God!

I can only ask you a question. Can you see it? So I ask myself a question. What does it mean to be a legend? And God showed me to be a Christian. The power is in the name. Because it was given to me by the invisible God. Be blessed and walk in your truth. Wake up; a storm is going on in the mindset, and the target is you. In spirit life, God shut sin up in scripture, meaning his son had cleared the way for you to serve him with a pure heart, to obey the will of God. Jesus Christ covers you in the flesh, and when he returns, judgment will be revealed to you in the spirit, how you lived your life while you were in the flesh as a human being. It is why scripture teaches your life is hidden in Christ. God will judge you in your truth. He will expose you to the master whom you served willfully in the flesh. The veil will be removed, and life for you in the flesh will be judged, for justice to avenge the acts that were done by you in the flesh that you offer up daily to the most high God! Mercy is no more when Jesus Christ returns, only judgement. Now your nakedness is exposed to God, and you will see him face-to-face. It’s why scripture tells you, His face is upon all evil. It is who you really are, a servant of sin or a follower led only by his son in discipline, in self-control because you feared God, knowing of his power and his might! The fear of the Lord is the knowledge of God. God’s voice is the stillness in the mind when you have shut the voice of humans out. To listen to the spirit man is the invisible part that works inside of mankind. It’s your conscience; it is invisible.

He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor. But he that search for evil it shall come to him (Proverbs 11:27).

The righteous is a guide to his neighbors; but the wicked causes him to err (Proverbs 12:26).

The ransom of a man’s life is his riches; but the poor hearteh know threatening Proverbs 13:8).

The light of the righteous rejoiceth; But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. By pride cometh only contention; But with the well-advised is wisdom. Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; But he that gathereth by labor shall have increase. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. Whoso despiseth the word bringeth destruction on himself. But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that one may depart from the snares of death. Good understanding giveth favor; But a fool flaunteth his folly. A wicked messenger falleth into evil; But a faithful ambassador is health. Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth correction; But he that regardeth reproof shall be honored. The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil. Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it. Evil pursueth sinners; But the righteous shall recompensed with good. A man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children; And the wealth of a sinner is laid up for righteous (Proverbs 13:9–22).

The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor goeth humility (Proverbs 15:33).

Understanding is a well-spring of life to them that have it (Proverbs 16:22).

"Even a fool when he holds his peace is counted wise; when he shuteth his lips; he is esteemed as prudent (Proverbs 17:28).

Waking up out of the storm is trusting in the one true God to carry you through this life and the next.

Wisdom

What shall be has been, and what has been was long ago; nothing is new under the sun. We chase after the wind for things, and we continue to chase after things that will perish, to bring joy to life as we know it. We, as human beings, love the beast because we are like its kind. We are flesh. There are different kinds of flesh; fish have flesh, birds another kind of flesh, dogs and all kinds of beasts are fleshly. And we hunt for the prey to kill the weak. We eat and bleed; we see and hear. We are one and the same with one breath. And we all will return to the very dust from which we came! We are one and the same, made by the very hands of God. We are all in order; we have no control over the order that God has placed. And those that are out of order start with what’s in their heart. God knows what your iniquities are. He knows our motives. He knows what our heart desires. He’s given mercy for you to change, but he even knows you won’t. Evil has come in and taken over. But order is still formed by God within you. Just as the sea has its boundaries and the wind returns to its circuit, we in the flesh do the same. We repeat the same course throughout our lives—getting up going to work over and over again, waiting for the end of life as we know it, working by the sweat of our brow as God has spoken! Laboring until the flesh is laid to rest is order from the most high God! Vanity, life, is but a vapor, then it vanishes away. It is the fruit of our loins, for wise people say, Fools perish, but we are one and the same. The wise leave their fruits of labor, and the fools leave nothing. Who can tell the wise if they left their fruit to a fool after passing away? They both come here with nothing, and they will leave here with nothing. Vanity, we are all one and the same. Flesh! Once we live, then we die, a moment in time.

Humans love the beast. Because they are one and the same, their tendency is the same. They hunt and prey on the weak, to concur, to rule over the weak, but the wise say, The intellect of human being is far greater than the animals. Humans are able to research knowledge to know that it was given by the most high God. We are able to outthink the beast! In the religious world, we talk about scripture where God has told us that humans are the rulers over the seas, the fowls of the air, and the beasts. We say it in fiction but know truth is leading you to the Master. He states in scripture that humans loves the beast more than they love him. Question: how much wisdom do humans have over the beast when it is they that serve the dog? Vanity, both one and the same man and beast. Wake up and see God.

True Worship

True worship is when we exalt him and stand bold in him to confess his namesake to all that will hear. The sanctuary is the whole world, and it is under his authority. He watches over the flock. He is head of all. His name is holy; there is no other name given in heaven or on earth that holds the power of the Holy Spirit. He abides in the temple not made by the hands of humans. His temple is in the hearts of humans. So true worship is everyday living, a righteous life in the choices you make daily. How you walk in life to obey his will. We are the circumcision of Christ, the outer layer of the body, in the flesh to represent Christ. Christ has done it all; he is everything we need to be. He put on the flesh, meaning becoming human, and took our sins away. When our Lord and Savior died on the cross for the whole world, he offered grace to all that will come, love, a chance to come to him and change our way of thinking and living.

His power is what changes you to walk worthy in his sight. It is his name that we confess in; that’s when we spoke truth! God in heaven, the record states, God, the word, the Holy Ghost, and on earth, God the spirit water and the blood. The Bible states Jesus Christ did not come by water only, but by blood he offered up his precious body for all. My question to you is, what blood did you shed? Jesus paid the price for all. John the Baptist had to baptize Jesus because it was written. It is what he told him when he baptized him in the water. God the Father spoke, the word was baptized, the Holy Spirit descended unto Jesus, and a voice came out the heavens. This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased! God’s testimony is better than humans’. He confessed that this was his beloved son, to believe in him is to believe in me, because God had witnessed his son. That’s why when we confess that Jesus Christ is the son of God, we are saying we believe in God the Father, the one who sent the Savior to the world. That statement brings death to the fleshly body and life to the spirit that is of God. That is how you are born again, by not entering the womb of a woman again, fleshly. But by the spirit to live after the spirit and not the flesh, through Jesus Christ, the law and the flesh are together. It is a new creature because he took away your sinful nature so you can do what is right.

With his help, you can be strong in your choice and choose the right way of living. It’s the comforter in the Holy Spirit of God to guide you in the right direction, to honor God and to be obedient to his will, for you in your life to change your wrong way of thinking to the right way of thinking. Truth comes by trusting in him to change you and to know that he is God! Jesus Christ is the Son of God; without him there is no perfection in you. The confession you made is what brought the free gift; it was when you spoke truth. The gift that God gave you was forgiveness; it was salvation to soul, which is immortal, and it will live forever. Many believers don’t realize that when Jesus Christ died and he rose again, he wiped your sin away once and for all. There is no sin found in Christ Jesus, and that’s even in you. He was perfect without sin, but he bore it all, so by being in him through your confession, you share heavenly blessings in his name. And in that name, there is no sin, not even found in you, because they have been wiped away! Not to be remembered anymore! It is the name that is Holy, it is the name that is pure, it is the name that brings spiritual blessings because it was him that was obedient. Praise God! When Jesus rose, he took you right up to the Father; you, as a Christian, is a holy priesthood, a spiritual house not made by human hands. You send up spiritual blessings unto a holy God through his beloved son. Your walk helps you to identify who you belong to in your choice that you make in the flesh daily. It is what your offer up to God, it is your reasonable service that you offer up to him daily, it’s how you serve him and others, in love.

We are in a storm because we choose not to wake up from our religious practices. We continue to keep our heart hardened from the truth. It is all in the Bible. Scripture teaches that we should study to show ourselves approve unto God, so seek truth for yourself. And ask the Savior to help you, to see his spiritual wisdom that he has given us through our Lord and Savior. We connect to the Father through the son and in prayer. We have to ask God for our knowledge and wisdom. Question: have you asked yourself what it is that you should be doing in the spirit? Move pass the dispensation that was given to humans; wake up and see God. He sent his son because humans could not do it, so ask yourselves what was it that humans could not do. He broke the law of God, he sinned, and God states not one was good. Only his son came in the flesh enter in a womb of a woman and put on sinful flesh for the whole world. Humans did not want to believe it then, and even now, because they don’t see what Jesus Christ did. He is alive. He came and did the job here on earth and is back in eternal glory with the Father. Praise God! The storm is still inside the fleshly body; it is what we wrestle with in our mind, what we believe in! The flesh cannot comprehend the truth of God because there is no knowledge in the flesh to know about God. You have to be born again to see God in spirit. And if you don’t see him, you should ask yourselves why, because, it is Jesus that you should see and the Father who sent him and nobody else—not Moses, not the children of Israel, not Mary or Abraham. When Jesus Christ rose, he shut up sin in the bible; he washed your sins away! Now if you don’t think that this is possible for him to do, then ask yourself, Do I really believe in God?

The Pharisees thought this too. They thought that he was blasphemy, God. They could not wake up to see who Jesus Christ really was, the son of God. All things are possible with him and not to man. Today we struggle with the same thing: we don’t want to believe in the scriptures, that Jesus Christ is everything we need to be; to God, the Father, the perfect sacrifice was him! God himself witnessed this when John the Baptist baptized him; he states, It is written that you baptize me, because Jesus Christ was the word of God. Open your mind and your heart, and see God through his son. Wake up and live holy! Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the way; humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord.

Because, my friends, he is watching! Apostle Paul told Christians then, Our God is a living God, and you have to serve him in a living relationship while you are in the fleshly body. Ask yourself if you are living in the spirit and if you are offering up spiritual blessings to a God whom you have not seen. Everything has to be in spirit and not in the flesh. The new creature is what takes me there in a relationship with God while you are still present in the fleshly body. For you to have a real relationship with the Almighty God was through the sacrifice that Jesus did. So now you are adopted in faith by what Jesus Christ did on the cross. So the spirit is what it is that is pure, not your flesh—it’s what you partake in while walking in a fleshly body. It is the spirit he sent to comfort you. It is the comforter that has the power of God, to help you in your walk to a God that is spirit!

God who is spirit helps me to live obedient to the will that he has for me in my life to trust only in him. The spirit brings the oneness to the body of flesh we all are on the same accord, the mind, the body, and spirit, to bring peace to our soul. That is the connection to a God that is spirit. It is all because of his son, Jesus Christ. And now we can pray to him in spirit, asking anything unto him in Jesus’s name. He said, Anything you ask him in my name, he will give it to you. Ask yourself if nothing of the flesh pleases God. It has to be in the spirit man. If you believe that, then wake up out of the storm in your mind and see it is Jesus; he is the only one who can clear the storm so you can see God! Jesus took you straight to the face of God in spirit, so you can serve him in spirit and in truth by living a righteous life and by holding on to his word in your heart, and that word is love; it is who he is. It covers a multitude of sins. You have spiritual blessings through Christ to offer up to God, making right choices in the fleshly body to keep you in a righteous place. It is the purpose that God has given to you: Obey me if you believe in who I am! You will know by not obeying me the consequence will be unbearable! And you, my friend, will remain in the storm. This is the commandment of God, to love him and one another; it is what Jesus Christ brought down, the word of God to tell you about the Father that you have not seen, that he will return and take you back home with him at his appointed time! This is the promise of the God of spirit, that he will safely take you home.

Jesus Christ is the only one who knows the way to the Father. Ask yourselves what man knows the way to the Father. Back then and now, it is only his beloved Son because he was here before the foundation of the worlds. He said in scripture, I and my Father are one. When you see me, you see the Father. It is what he told Phillip. Look for the cross, and see pass men knowledge and seek for the voice of the living God that is spirit! God ministers it is his nature. Let’s face it; we need God! There is nothing we can do but show him. He has all power; he created everything that exists, even humans. The human form was created by the living God, so what could it be that he needs from you but your obedience to save you from his wrath and his grace and mercy is a gift from God. The scriptures teach in the spirit that we are ministers of Christ, so we are to mind the things of the spirit and not of the flesh. Look for the spirit, the things that are invisible to man, the light of his glory. It abides in the fleshly body that no man can see. It’s the inward part that is invisible; it is the power of God! The inward parts in the human body that are invisible are the parts that works. Wake up out of the storm that is in the mindset, and see what God has done for you through his son. He brought peace to the mind that is the heart of a man. God gave love! We cannot receive the love that God gave unless it is through his Son. Abide in him and serve God in spirit.

God has ministers in nature as well, the fire and the wind and the sea; all obey God. Like the body needs water, it nourishes the inward parts that are invisible. Water is needed to survive in the fleshly body. It cleanses and flushes out your system so everything works. Without water, the body will shut down. You can see water and even feel it, but it is invisible; it cannot be hurt, something that is spirit. You can feel the air, and you can see it when it is blowing, something that moves, but you cannot stop it, something invisible yet visible, spirit. Fire is hot; you can feel it, but you cannot hold it, invisible because it is spirit. They are all under his control. You can see the clouds, but you cannot touch them, invisible yet visible. This is the power of the living God! He controls all things, and if he releases the things that are spirit, they will destroy anything in their path! Spirit life goes beyond the human life, and no man can stop them!

Man has no control over nature. When a storm is coming, we,
