TODAY AT METRON - 8/24/25

"...So good..."

- CS

"This series is giving me life!... Do hear a 4th installment?.."

- BB

"Wow! The channels of my life, what an amazing analogy. Now I just need to find THE LOVE CHANNEL…Followed by the a Health and Wealth channel."

- EN

"The analogy was priceless of us having the remote and changing the channel till we find the energy or message we want to see, say, hear or project."

- BR

"My take away from your message today: “Stop trying to change yourself; instead, find the right vibrations and tune into that channel…” Tuning into the vibration that is Metron has changed the way I see Spirit and perhaps most importantly, it has changed the way that I see me…"

- TC

8/25

"I did not want to leave yesterday, I would have stayed as long as you kept going. I feel like a part of my brain has been dormant and new pathways are opening up as a result of your teaching & insight. You light up my life and I'm so thankful for you."

- LN

TODAY AT METRON - 8/17/25

"Wow...This series is fire! I felt the power within myself before you even finished today!"

- BB

“Today Was Beautiful..."

- LB

"WOW! This series is off the chain, and today’s installment was just everything! And when you said: “Detach from outcomes…” I’ve heard those same words several times this past week, but when you said them this morning, I FELT them; they are a part of who I am now…Thank you!"

- TC

"...in regards to your message today...at the moment all I can say is...

"#expletive!"

- KC

"I’m seeking words to describe this month’s (August 2025) series, for now: seed-planting, seed-watering, garden-tending all apply…I know there’s more. I’m noticing that simply reading the title starts a clear head-turning vibration that feels like a call to notice and feel powerful possibilities await…"

- APR

"There has been so much that I feel I am understanding for the first time. Yesterday I caught myself saying Wow about 5 times. I think I'm learning about God/Spirit and my place in God. The multiverse is offering endless potential of opportunities at once. The yes and. When you spoke of the slit theory I thought about Morse code, which we know was an early form of communication with the dot, dot, dash. Wow!"

- BLR

TODAY AT METRON - 8/10/25

"A Nuther great word this morn!! 👏😘"

- JL

"Spirit of God is vibrating over me...in the mountains...livestreaming today. Thank you! Blue Ridge is blessed."

- KC

"Today’s message was so confirming to me personally…It’s like you’ve given me the words to articulate what I’ve been experiencing these past few weeks! And I keep coming back to that verse you painted for someone a while back: “…and your very bones will vibrate with life…” Pr 3:8 And that is exactly what it feels like within me!"

- TC

"...I'm fascinated with our ability to regulate our own vibration to achieve the life that we want. Thanks for making this a series. This is going to be delicious!"

- MBC

"When you know....You know...I know this series is going to be transformational. I already feel the power!"

- BJB

"I don't know how it happened that all the stars aligned and I was able to watch Metron LIVE this morning, but they did! Your bunny story--My Lord! After sharing your story you spoke the words, "There is a God"--and have mercy...talk about "vibration"...I was instantly flooded with emotion. Tears began to fall, and I just sat there with my hands lifted for several minutes. Such a powerful message today, Bishop! Another great series! You are SO in the FLOW!"

- DS

"So much revelation in the Metron service today! I’m sure that I missed some because it was so deep in truth. A message that I will go back to hear again and dissect layer by layer and take it all in as I have always done when you start connecting the dots. So grateful that you aren’t afraid to speak them"

MEDITATION WEEKEND XXVI/METRON 11th ANNIVERSARY - SAINT SIMONS ISLAND - 8/2-3/25

"Best weekend ever! Thank you so much! You ignite the light within us to keep going,

to believe, and to grow."

- LN

"Thank you so much for everything. I am renewed and walking over the threshold! Amazing weekend, more than I ever could have expected. But I knew it was going to be great!..."

- KM

"...Meditation Weekend XXVI took me back to St. Simons Island where I first entered the circle that is Metron 16 months ago…As I was driving home today, I realized that when I stepped into the Metron circle, I crossed a THRESHOLD! into heightened creativity, compassion, imagination and ultimately Love itself…The process of becoming and discovering my destiny began in that circle…And each time I step into that circle I can’t help but remember how close I came to missing it all…Thank you so much, Robert Rutherford, for the poignant reminder of Spirit’s word for me this year! I am beyond grateful for you, Jim Swilley, for curating these Meditation Weekends and for always leading by example…And to every person in the circle that is Metron, thank you for welcoming me with open arms and for loving me…I love each and every one of you to the moon and back!"

- TC

"I truly enjoyed this weekend, it was much needed. It takes me a few days to process everything, so I will post something later. The energy was amazing..."

- KH

"This was one of the most powerful meditations we have had. It all worked perfectly."

- BJB

"Simply the best! 🔥 I love it so much!! 🙌"

- HB

"We all played our part and presented a perfect portion of the promised Spirit, perfectly!...Heaven witnessed an out-pouring of positivity..."

- RR

"What a beautiful weekend with beautiful people! Rabbi, I am so grateful to you for continuing to be led by Spirit--it always unfolds exactly how it should....nothing can stop the flow when we are all together...and Robert Rutherford was the surprise gift we didn't know we all needed! I am ready to cross this threshold I am standing on!"

- JT

"Surprises. Confirmation. Inclusion. Love. Perfection. A few of the words that describe this weekend. Everything has been amazing. I mean everything. I felt that on the way here driving in that the weekend was going to be special and it has been...I’m so thankful and appreciative for all of the friendship and love. I am blessed beyond measure."

- EJ

"...we had a beautiful sunrise meditation on the beach. The energy was amazing, and the love, hugs, and tears were exactly what I needed. This weekend was the perfect opportunity for me to reset, refocus, and realign...Jim Swilley always a great time sharing space with you. Thank you for all you do..."

- KH

"The best part about the weekend? The people...friends old and new!"

- JT

"Meditation Weekend XXVI was a wonderful experience in every way..."

- HB

"I love you all. You are my tribe. You are my family. Any morsel I was able to bring to the table couldn't compare with the continuous feast of LOVE you all fed my soul. In life, we come to crossroads that become milestones, turning points. #26 will forever be etched in my heart, the faces of you precious folks on my mind, the song of the Spirit blowing through the changes of my mind. The VOICE of TRUTH spoke loudly to my life and I am just now beginning to process it all. It wasn't one of those powerful, stupendously Earth-shaking storms..... it was a steady, gentle shower, the kind that saturates and nourishes and grows the hidden seed of life, within us. Joy, Peace and LOVE to you all!"

"...I've been going to "church" with you and your ministry, online, if you will. I've looked to you as my spiritual Bishop. I was laughing at you recently, where in a recent sermon you said how people write to you and say these very words...how you're the one they refer to as their Pastor. But man oh man, it's true! There's a digital flock out here and you're the Pastor of it Bishop Jim. I know that much to be true. And I'm one of them. Will I ever return to church some day? I don't know. And that's kind of why I'm writing you...No matter what, I thank you for what you're doing. Keep preaching. (As if you'll ever stop). Keep reaching folks all over. Stay encouraged. Know that the Lord is with ya, and you're appreciated for the love and acceptance that you preach. No matter what Bishop...I do know, that I'll keep tuning in. ��"

It's a good day when you're still thinking and going on words that have activated your own energy and they are manifesting things you speak into the atmosphere. I love Metron because it's moving in the "NOW"...To me it means, if you are living your life in what has been handed down for years..the energy of that is gone. That's why nothing is working for you.We often wonder why churches are not filled.I don't go because it's boring and non-effective...Thank you Bishop Jim Swilley...You have us marching to a different beat and you're leading us and we are being productive in our daily life. That to me is exciting. That is why I get excited about the teaching. I just had to share it with others.

8/29/16

"...I can only imagine how busy you are and how many weekly messages you get from others, so I try hard not to bombard and flood your inbox..saying how much I truly enjoy and glean from every single message you open your mouth to speak, but honestly..I could. Every week I could come here and tell you what a profound effect that a certain phrase or insight you presented had on my thinking and how it's challenging my perceptions..and knowing that if I could just put that concept into practice..it would literally transform my LIFE. Seriously, I could say this weekly..but I try to spare you. haha!

Bishop, I'm typing this through literal tears..because there's no possible way for me to express adequately with human words how much I love and appreciate you..and who you are in my life. When you show up in any capacity..with a word of encouragement or assurance..or with the slightest sign of connection in any form, I'm grateful. I've told you this before, and it's still true: Your voice..is THEE spiritual voice in my life in this season. I honestly don't know how this came to be, but I'm really glad it did. Your voice is needed..and always welcome in my life."

- DS

8/21/16

Some time last year I found your video on YouTube and from that day to this I have felt a connection to you and your ministry that I can't seem to shake. To some extent I can say that the truth and enlightenment that you & your companions share on YouTube have saved my life. I know I have written you privately but I wanted to make a public declaration that what you are doing is still a great work and has impacted my life in a way you prob will never know! One day soon I will visit you at Metron and I am looking forward to it. Until then stay encouraged and continue to shake off the ppl who don't want to see you succeed Bc if it had not been for your success I would not be better today. God bless you bishop!

"Bishop...Phewwwww! With every cluster of new teachings, you bring to the table a full 7-course meal. I've read that it takes about 6 hrs to actually eat one of those, and it takes at least that long for me to gather up all the manna you've just dropped..and the rest of the week to devour, dissect, absorb.. and to get it properly flowing through my veins.

When I tell you that I've never missed Metron once since you began over a year ago, I mean NEVER. In fact, sometimes..I watch the same service twice just to let it sink in even deeper. I've been to church most of my life and I've been blessed to sit at the feet of a few amazing ministers of the gospel, but for the past 7 or 8 yrs, I haven't been connected with any particular ministry. Mainly because, my thinking is just not in keeping with most of their teachings any longer and it's just hard for me to sit through~you understand. Ha. I attend a local church periodically, but it's not for my sake..it's only because my granddaughter loves their children's program. Although I've never met you face to face..I just wanted you to know that Metron is not a cyber-church supplement for me, and you are not just another spiritual voice that I tune in to. You are in fact, THEE Spiritual Voice- that I glean from in this season of my life. Thank you for that.

Blessings...

PS..you and Ken are wonderful people in general."

-DS

"For many years of my life I have ran from all forms of religion, and grew a strong hatred for Christianity. I was touched, it brought tears to my eyes to see the open mindedness and support you have given people. I honestly watched the video for distasteful reasons. I have for the majority of my life had very low expectations for Christians. Where others see love and community I see hate and slavery. What I was looking for was another reason to hate, but instead I found a reason to love. I wish you the best. I am truly happy I stumbled across this video. Maybe there is hope for the rest of the world after all."

- JM

"...so refreshing to have the word reconciled by spirit science. God created man in his own image, not he or her, or humanoid, but consciousness, we are him & he is us. The Big Bang did happen & it's God's perfect creation of evolution, being able to adapt. When two or more are gathered in his name or laying of hands means shared energy, driving the negative away with positive vibrations. I'm glad you're teaching this, because quite frankly I'm tired of arguing with & offending other stagnant Christians."
- TH

"I just have to tell you...for the first time in years I finally have inner peace!! I am at peace with God and myself. Thank you again!! I have been watching your Metron services on YouTube. I am seeing the scriptures in a whole new light now--it's so liberating. I can finally love people and see people the way God sees people---and myself!! How can you love your neighbor as yourself when you don't love yourself? You just can't

Today I love myself!! And now I can love people and live in peace.
God Bless you Big"
- SM

"I'm very glad of the direction of your journey, I too have had my faith restored by breaking with the traditional & seeking the truth which was always there but has been diluted & even demonized. Between sacred geometry, vibrational energy, noetic science & others, it has explained much of the Bible to me through science instead of just blind faith. Prayer circles are the same as an energy healing circle, our body was designed for love and the universe conspires for us. I believe Christ was sent here to teach us the way, the secret if you will. Sadly, many Christians are offended or afraid of the truth. I believe we are on the verge of a great awakening or evolution and applaud you for being brave & wise enough to spread the word."
- TH

"...although I haven't seen you in person since you were a child at Faith Memorial, I must say that virtually everything you post on here speaks directly to my heart. I'm really interested in the blending together of traditional religious thought and more modern spiritual ideas. As for me I am still trying to somehow recover from the sudden death of my younger sister in May. Every day has been a challenge. What you say on your posts has really helped me in my recovery. Keep up the wonderful work you do. You are helping more people than you know..."

- CSA

"It is just AMAZING to see the person you have evolved to. I have been under your leadership since late 90's early 2000's and I am amazed at your change in paradigm. What I get from it most is freedom. Freedom to be who you want to be and not living the rest of your life how others expect you to be. It encourages me that I don't have to wait until my 50's to have that freedom. I am also amazed at how my outlook on what I have been taught all my life has changed but my faith is stronger than ever and my love for my creator is stronger than ever. I'm just amazed at who you have become and are becoming."
