In this Mobile Metron message, Bishop Jim Swilley announces Meditation Weekend #28 on Jekyll Island (Easter weekend)—then turns a real-life avalanche of caregiving decisions, renovation pressure, and even a surprise vet bill into a sharp spiritual lesson: Hope deferred makes the heart sick… but fulfilled desire becomes a Tree of Life. He contrasts the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil (either/or, endless alternatives, analysis paralysis) with the Tree of Life (no Plan B, no more bargaining, just a clean “this is what must happen”). Along the way, he challenges biblicism (“bibliolatry”), reframes scripture as a living mirror, and delivers a direct word to anyone whose back is against the wall: take the exit the universe provides—before you pray against it. 5 takeaways The Tree of Life shows up when you don’t have options. Swilley frames “fulfilled desire” not as getting everything you want, but as the moment you’re forced into the only sane next step—and it sets you free. (Proverbs 13:12) Either/or thinking is the trap; “yes, and” is the upgrade. He links the Tree of Knowledge to binary thinking and anxiety—while the Tree of Life becomes the reality where you stop grading life as “good/bad” and start moving with clarity. Sometimes deliverance arrives wearing a tragedy costume. A fall, a forced placement, a hard decision—things you’d normally pray against—can be the exact mechanism that saves your life. Stop worshiping the book and start listening for the Voice. He calls “bibliolatry” idolatry, argues the Bible is “as human as it is divine,” and insists it’s meant to connect you to the living Word—not be used as a weapon. If your back is against the wall, take the miracle-shaped door. He offers a pointed “prophetic” nudge to people stuck in situations that are draining them: when the exit appears, don’t overthink it—move.

    ‘THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE: Harmonizing the Chronos with the Kairos for Optimal Manifestation’ – Pt. IV

In this Mobile Metron episode, Bishop Jim Swilley tells the raw, unfiltered story behind his mother’s fall, the impossible decisions of elder care, and the unexpected “angels” who showed up right on time. Then he pivots into a provocative teaching on Chronos vs. Kairos, why guilt keeps us trapped, and why Jesus’ words to Peter in John 21 sound a lot like modern caregiving. Along the way, he challenges fundamentalism, reframes “the fall,” and asks the question most of us avoid until life forces it: Are you trying to live longer… or live freer? 5 takeaways Chronos measures life. Kairos interprets it. Chronos is the clock/calendar; Kairos is the “time-out-of-time” moment where meaning snaps into focus (anchored by “my times are in your hands” — Psalm 31:15). Elder care isn’t a “curse” — it’s a season. Swilley reads Jesus’ words about aging and dependence (John 21:18) as less “doom” and more “this is what long life often looks like.” Guilt isn’t proof you’re loving. It can be a leash. A care team’s permission—“you don’t have to come every day”—becomes a spiritual release: love can be real without self-punishment. Be specific about the life you’re asking for. Not just “more years,” but “more years with clarity, mobility, and peace,” reflecting on the idea of long lifespan (Swilley references 120 years; see Genesis 6:3) and the cost of unmanaged longevity. Your life becomes lighter when it becomes useful. The old hymn idea—“If I can help somebody, my living shall not be in vain”—turns into an inventory of legacy: what you built, who you lifted, what your presence changed (echoing the wisdom of “teach us to number our days” — Psalm 90:12). Pull-quote (from the episode) “Focus on the kairos time of your life. Don’t be so obsessed with the chronos time.” Scriptures referenced (with citations) “The kingdom… brings out… treasures new and old” — Matthew 13:52 “The Spirit of the Lord… liberty to the captives” — Isaiah 61:1 (also echoed in Luke 4:18) “The tongue of the learned” — Isaiah 50:4 “Let there be light” — Genesis 1:3 “My times are in Your hands” — Psalm 31:15 “Rightly dividing the word” — 2 Timothy 2:15 “The heavens declare the glory of God” — Psalm 19:1 “Man shall not live by bread alone…” — Deuteronomy 8:3 (quoted in Matthew 4:4) “I AM” — Exodus 3:14 “I desire mercy, not sacrifice” — Hosea 6:6 (quoted in Matthew 9:13 and Matthew 12:7) Curses / sweat of brow / labor pains — Genesis 3:16–19 Jesus & Peter on love, feeding sheep, aging, and “what is that to you?” — John 21:15–22 “Teach us to number our days” — Psalm 90:12 “120 years” — Genesis 6:3 “Blessed when you come in and go out” — Deuteronomy 28:6 “No plague… near your dwelling” — Psalm 91:10

God’s wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don’t find it lying around on the surface. It’s not the latest message, but more like the oldest—what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene. The experts of our day haven’t a clue about what this eternal plan is. If they had, they wouldn’t have killed the Master of the God-designed life on a cross. That’s why we have this Scripture text: No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it— What God has arranged for those who love him. But you’ve seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you. (I Corinthians 2:6 – 10 – The Message)

    Heart to Heart: Remembering the Quiet Power of Dr. Sheila

Her passing came suddenly leaving everyone stunned at how quickly everything unfolded. Jim shares the ache of wanting to have been there sooner, but also the sacred gift of his final visit on Thanksgiving: standing by her bedside, speaking to her spirit, thanking her for years of love and care, and giving her permission to let go if she was tired of fighting. He and Ken wept, hugged her “heart to heart,” and blessed her with peace – a moment he says he’ll never trade. Throughout the service, story after story paints a fuller picture of who she was. Dr. Sheila was more than a chiropractor; she was a healer in every sense. She treated people on Christmas Eve when they were in unbearable pain, never charged her pastor for visits, and even drove to adjust his mother—and her poodles. When his mother had to give up her birds, Dr. Sheila quietly took them in, lifting a huge burden from his shoulders. She created a beautiful quilt from his Peachtree Road Race t-shirts, a piece of art he treasures as a symbol of her love literally sewn into his life. Others share how her touch and presence changed them: nerve pain disappearing after her hands rested on someone’s back, quiet envelopes of money slipped into palms after a speech, healing energy that felt like electricity, and a steady calm that made people feel seen, safe, and loved. She introduced many to heart-to-heart hugs, alkaline water, and a deeper understanding of self-healing and spirit. Friends describe her as deeply compassionate, fiercely authentic, generous to a fault, and spiritually curious – open to past lives, the divine feminine, and the idea that those who cross over still walk with us. The memorial becomes both a goodbye and a challenge. As they speak of her presence still lingering in the room, they honor her as part of the “great cloud of witnesses” and talk about how grief and gratitude can coexist. Her death, especially so close to the holidays, sharpens everyone’s awareness that time is short. In her honor, they commit to living fully, following their bliss, taking care of themselves, loving boldly, and cherishing each ordinary week that passes. Dr. Sheila, they say, is sewn into the fabric of who they are now—living on in their hugs, their kindness, their courage to heal, and their choice to make every day count.
