Arguing with God about the definition of love.  Trying to see into the future without any concept of continuum.  Separating a Mother from the bond with her child.  Denying the wisdom of justice.  Pleading with a tyrannical bully.  Explaining bondage or labor to those in slavery.  Wishing secretly that a homeless man would pick himself up out of tragedy.  Telling a child he cannot question or learn.  Expecting a crop without seed, a rich man without greed or desperate people with no need.  Asking the dead for understanding.  A mess that cleans itself up.  A hungry child in satisfactory peace.  War that does not consume all in its path.  Fire with mercy and conscience.  That Almighty God would take no vengeance for the unrepentant sin of His disobedient children after consistent and repeated warning.

In His time of grace we watch and wait upon hope of His mercy.  Come soon King Jesus.

Although, we get various challenges when sharing the Word on the street, one of the most common responses is that the Bible is unbelievable because it is written by men.  Where did this disinformation originate?  Militarily speaking if I were God’s enemy, my first objective would be to discredit, destroy and separate Christians from the Word of God.  Achieving that end I would then try to limit prayer and fellowship between believers and the Lord.  At that point I would plant my own “moles”, double-agents and insurgents within the body to water down the Word and break up or undermine any effective relationships.  Does this strategy look familiar, It should because it is the one currently eating away at the foundations of the Body of Christ.  To defeat this plan we must concentrate on its tactical effectiveness and return to the Truth, trust in and regularly review the Bible.  Get back to what we did at first and learn about the Lord and His promises.  Arm ourselves with the defensive and offensive weaponry of the Lord.  The Bible is the inerrant, indisputable Word of the Lord God.  Learn it, believe it, remain in it and share it!  Be victorious in Jesus, Amen.

“I know your works, your labor your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil.  And you have tested those who say there are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; “and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary.  “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.  “Remember therefore from where you have fallen: repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lamp stand from its place-unless you repent.  “But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolai tans, which I also hate.  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.  To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write, ‘These things says the First and Last, who was dead, and came to life:  I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich): and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan  “Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer.  Indeed the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days.  Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.  He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.”‘  Revelation 2:2-11

Do you look away when faced with this irrefutably clear message from the Lord Jesus to the churches?  Does this apply to you or was He speaking to someone else?  Are you testing all the prophets, pastors, priests and teachers with regard to the soundness of their doctrine?  Are your ears being tickled?  Are you ready to preach the Word in and out of season.  The evidence is overwhelming, substantial and present pointing to the need for repentance and prayer in advance of the Great Day of Our Lord.  Are you prepared?  If not are you asking those who are for guidance/assistance?  If not isn’t this cause for trauma?

So tired of Christian counter-intelligence sponsored by the prince of this world and readily accepted by all those who desperately want to escape God’s judgment through other means than surrender to the Lord Jesus.  Pushers are not solely responsible for wide dispersion of narcotics throughout our society we the consumers are equally at cause.  Absent takers the marketers fail.  We have been warned of those who will pray upon despair, naivete and slothfulness, offering candy coated sin yet we go out of our way to saunter through enemy territory.  We must quit looking for the easy road, gazing upon the unrighteous with envy or listening to honey tongued false-teachers and stay on the path to life.

Lord I commend my life to your hands. Let me not stray from Your path for a moment.  Remove from me any curiosity for sin.  Let me be mindful that there will always be enticements in this world and that I must keep myself Holy as You are Holy.  Let me reside in Your Spirit and think, reside and act in congruence with Your will, in righteousness.  Save me again this day King Jesus, for without you I am surely conquered.  Amen.

Realized frailty and strength the nexus of contradiction.  Ferociously meek.  How can we wish to be weak when all about us requires that we “Man Up”?  Our relationship to this world is fraught with deception, folly and misdirection.  We are the people who are not afraid of the dark because we hold the Lantern of True Light.  Looking at my own silhouette upon the wall I wonder why my projection does not match up with the solid backdrop of my God inspired image?  Why am I a bit right or left of center, why is my shadow a bit unfocused, why is my image fuzzy?  I met the Lord on my knees and He carried me up the hill and told me to walk across the fettered lands with no satchel, sandals, sack or canteen.  As every screaming voice inside cried out to turn and run back down the mountain toward the comfort of the familiar and drink deeply in running waters, a quieter, stronger voice bid me “do what you have been told of the Lord”.  I break loose my feet from their cemented stance, my first footfall echoing like the racing pulse in each temple.  Repeating to myself the 23rd Psalm I capture my fear in a clenched fist and squeeze it lifeless.  The joy of the Lord is my strength, I begin to croon from frozen throat and the Lord answers my faith with a peace and fortitude not of myself, not of this world.  In the absence of power I have become victorious.  My King be praised.  Thank you Jesus, my redeemer, my refreshment, my eternal life.

 December 3, 2011—Relevant Holy Spirit update to this discernment * There are twenty two letters in the Hebrew alphabet.  There are also twenty two chapters in the book of revelation the 22nd being “Eternity”.  Summation;  22 represents a sense of urgency for Eternity.  Do you have it?

In near unanimous proportion Christians tell me that we are not only in the Last Days but that most are of the collective opinion that we are in the denouement if not finale of the Lord’s Prophetic Scripture.  Yet at the same time they openly admit that the Lord does not play the leading role in their lives nor does the gravity of their impending work weigh heavy upon their spirits.  Where is the disconnect?  This inconsistency should produce fearful respect for the impending judgment upon our horizon. 

If we as the holy priesthood, the disciples, the spirit filled Christians are unwilling to fully surrender our hearts, minds, souls, treasure and time to the Lord’s Work how then can we expect the same from Sunday Christians or a unbelieving population blinded by the world and the enemy? What is paramount in my life?  Do I follow the truth of the Holy Spirit or my own fabrication?  In the following passages in the Book of John 14:15-31, Jesus promised us the Holy Spirit and clarified His expectations of those who love Him.

¹⁵ “If you love me, keep my commands. ¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. ¹⁹ Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. ²⁰ On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. ²¹Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

 ²² Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”

 ²³ Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. ²⁴ Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

   ²⁵ “All this I have spoken while still with you. ²⁶ But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

   ²⁸ “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. ²⁹ I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. ³⁰ I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, ³¹ but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.

   “Come now; let us leave.

If someone were to take a investigative review of my life would they always see the Lord firmly established at my foundational center?  Do I love Him and obey His commands?  Am I seeking purity, holiness and fulfillment of God’s intention with audacity, boldness and all-consuming urgency?  What value do I place upon each flippant word, lackadaisical minute and wasted opportunity? Will I weep in shame as I present to the Lord an accounting of my last-day’s performance, will my works burst in to flame upon scrutiny?   Does my definition of space time reflect full understanding of the impending deadline?

The Holy Spirit, the only Spirit of Truth in this or any world revealed to me several months ago an answer to my recent and frequent prayer.  I asked the Lord if His return is relatively close out of my frustration on behalf of unwilling, disinterested and excuse-full Christians?  The reply He gave me puzzled me and gave me pause.  He flashed the number 22 across my mind.  I am always skeptical and fearful of anyone who attempts to put dates to what the Lord Jesus Himself would not.  I have waited until the Holy Spirit provided me some clarity on this insight.  This morning that clarity arrived and I feel it is time to share this exciting word.  Test everything as to if it is from the Spirit of God.

Twenty-Two is not a date but a number associated with the definition of individual, personal urgency regarding obedient action in our last days.  Let me explain.  If you were to realize that we had twenty two years remaining before the Lord’s return how would that effect the importance of your remaining years?  What would you do differently?  How would you revise your remaining plans/actions?  Now imagine that the Lord is returning in the year 2022.  How does this change the variables within the equation?  Now, further reduce that to twenty-two remaining months.  The picture becomes high definition and hopefully produces a queasiness of stomach, “so much in so little time”.  Now Reduce that to twenty-two weeks, twenty-two hours, twenty two minutes at which point with only time enough to collect your loved ones for loving reminder and final prayer we are shriven of all encumbrances.  There are no veils, no excuses, no window-dressing only the truth of what is most important to us, what we hold dear.  Would you spend your last moments doing the Lord’s will or your own?

Does the church truly need persecution in order to fully grasp this message?  Because it is painfully obvious that persecution of Christians is headed to our homeland, likely sooner than any of us expect.  I am asking myself what is the most effective use of my remaining time spent here for the Lord?  These are convicting questions and are meant to be so.  I pray that the answers you share with yourself in the witness of the Holy Spirit reflect positively upon your actions and if they do not that the Lord kindles an unquenchable fire within you.  May He produce an irresistible, inescapable hunger for His Word, His Will and His Works.  May sharing the Loving Good News of Jesus take its rightful position of importance in all of our lives.   Praise Jesus.

Nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus.  It takes diligent thought training to be ever mindful of the deception seeking to convince us that we are alone and without help or hope.  We need to practice residing in, running to, calling out for and remaining in the Holy Spirit to make these deceptive attempts ineffectual.  Strength of mind, body or spirit requires practice.  Steady review of God’s Word, prayer and fellowship with the Holy Spirit of God are the pillars of spiritual strength/maturity.  Just as a healthy lifestyle requires consistent physical maintenance through nutrition, exercise and right-living, so too there are common-sense procedures and practices we can undertake that lead toward a robust Christian walk.

The Lord has given me a ministry to assist with this spiritual muscle building, titled “Walk In The Spirit, (WITS), keep your wits about you”.  This simple process involves setting aside several minutes of each hour in your day to consciously remain in the the Holy Spirit.  Just as calisthenics produce muscle memory, improved circulation and endurance turning to the Holy Spirit for a short period each hour will train your mind to grow closer to the Lord.  The average person is awake for sixteen hours per day.  If we walked in the Holy Spirit for just five minutes of each hour that would produce eighty minutes per day of continuous, prayer behavior.

Through practice we can increase the minutes per hour over time to increase that Spiritual communion.  For example if over the next year I increased that time to ten minutes of each hour then I would be in the Holy Spirit for two hours and twenty minutes of each day.  How many of us remain in prayer for two hours a day?  I am willing to bet that your honest answer, just like mine would be not many.  A person never eats an entire pizza in one bite, they cut it into pieces.  It is common sense that we must first learn to run before we can run a marathon.  Training for long-distance running initially requires that we allocate a part of each day to miles on the path then slowly increase that distance and speed as our endurance and skill improve.  The same principle is applied here by teaching continual prayer through improved and increased prayerful thinking/acting over time.  Just as faith is a noun and a verb, walking in the spirit turns passive prayer into action for Christ.

I pray Lord that someone find these words intriguing if not useful in their attempts to grow in Your Holy Spirit.  Praise You for all that You are.  In Jesus’ Holy name, Amen.

We are surrounded by principles, forces and energies which we cannot see yet accept without argument, air, the atmosphere, the wind, gravity, radiation, solar particles, electricity.  We have accepted these laws or forces as fact through realization of continuous or repeated evidences.  They are independent of my belief.  They exist whether or not I choose to accept them as law.  They do not require my understanding in order to function.  They are independent of my existence, that is they will continue when I cease to function.  Why then would we choose to exclude God from this list of the accepted?

I submit that it is because we do not want to believe, because if we believe then we have accept that there are actions for which consequence exist.  It is not that we find the existence of God objectionable it is rather because His existence places requirements upon my choices, wants, desires and freedoms.  Acknowledging Him as the Creator and sole authority of the universe means that I will at some point be brought to account for all my actions that fall outside of His declaration.  We as Americans especially find the idea that there are limits to our personal pursuits unconscionable.  How dare God tell me what I can an cannot do?  How dare He establish moral absolutes and warn me of the consequence of following my hearts desires?  How dare He say that there is a better way to live and that blind pursuit of my way leads to hell?  Indignant, immoral, arrogant, uneducated, perhaps?

I know how to get back at Him for placing these requirements and statutes upon “my life”, I will openly declare that He doesn’t exist so that I may do what I wish to do, when I wish to do it, with whom I wish to do it.  The problems this line of thinking are immediately evident.  If I choose to believe that smoking doesn’t cause cancer will I not develop lung problems through continued usage?  If I choose not to believe in radiation will I not develop sickness when exposed to unseen gamma, x rays or radon gases?  If I choose not to believe in gravity will the tides cease or will I be free from injury if I jump off a bridge?  If I choose not to believe in air will I then be able to live underwater or cease to need oxygen?  If I choose not believe in electricity will it cease to power my lights or shock me when I stick a screwdriver in the wall socket?  If I choose not to believe that STD’s exist will this eliminate the risk of unprotected intercourse with multiple partners?  The answers to all these questions are self-evident, just as God is self-evident.  He is real and He does not require our belief in Him to be, He simply is.  That is why He told Moses to call Him, I AM that I AM.

Then we must grope with a larger problem, that He is right.  Murdering someone is evil and can never be justified, even when we kill our babies and reduce the impact by calling it abortion.  That sounds like a mission failure that is under our power and authority to call quits and go back to the drawing board.  There is not a single person who can rationally argue that stealing, lying, sleeping with someone’s spouse, talking back to parents, gossiping about your neighbor or taking his stuff produce anything but pain or short-lived gratification.  We as Americans constantly speak out about the dangers of materialism, greed and how they have brought about the downfall of this nation, yet we fail to see the correlation between this evidence and the absolute truth of God’s Word.  These things happen because He said that they would when a person chooses not to obey His Word.  The consequences of our “immoral” or “amoral” behavior produces the same results every time.  In fact, actions outside of God’s intention produce those same results for those who believe in Him as well as those who choose not to believe because “everyone” will have to give an account for their lives.  The only difference is that believers in the Lord are forgiven, the consequences are inescapable.  The consequences are the evidence of the truth of God’s Word and continually reprove the existence of God.

Sure the evidence for the existence of God is relevant, overwhelming and continuous, it is just not convenient.  We would rather believe in theories, adopted as our new age religions even when their contrivers warned against acceptance without proof.  Evolution will never be proven, “As the origin of Species” because it is not based upon fact and therefore requires my belief in it to make it real, any idol is just a stump of carved wood/metal until I assign it divinity.  I prefer to worship and follow a God who does not need my belief in Him in order to exist.  I would rather worship and follow a God who rewards my belief in Him with forgiveness, everlasting life and love.  A much better deal, don’t you think?  Next time you hear someone say they don’t believe in God because they can’t see Him, ask them how they know that the next breath they take will keep them alive when they cannot see the air?

These days require us to filter a mixed bag of emotions through our analytical, spiritual and sympathetic minds.  The Lord has chosen us to be alive during this important time.  He knows how difficult these times will be and has provided us the gifts, skills and supernatural ability to fulfill His will for our lives.  Why then do we not see verifiable evidence/urgency on the part of declared believers?

We know and abide in the Word of God about the coming judgment upon this world, but if you are like me there are some pockets of resistance to the idea that Jesus may return for us tonight.  Imminent is a tough idea to bring to consciousness without complete surrender.  We certainly do hope for, pray for and expect Jesus to return at some point.  It may be that we are hoping that He will do so after we have had time to complete all the plans we have drawn up on our whiteboard of world significance.  Maybe we don’t want to believe that what we have will soon be insignificant.

I do not presume in arrogance to speak for all the elect, but perhaps my words elucidate objects concealed below the calm surface of each body.  This world’s collective sin has grown in severity.  The health of the world has gone from chronic illness to critical and absent revival will soon perish of its own accord.  Contrary to what the educated masses would have us believe there are no empirical, scientific or astrological solutions for this ailment.  The only verifiable answers are found in scripture as all prophecy points to the person of Jesus Christ and His inevitable rule as Lord of all.

There is only complete truth.  There is no point on the scale of believability that accounts for “nearly true” or “almost honest”.  Belief is confidence in, conviction or acceptance of something as truth.  If I say that I believe that the Lord may return this evening and yet I do not demonstrate corresponding faithful action it begs the question, do I truly believe?  Evidence of faith before man is defined in our works.  If thankfulness for my salvation does not call me to consequential obedient action, how strong is my faith?   http://www.biblelineministries.org/articles/basearch.php3?action=full&mainkey=FAITH+WITHOUT+WORKS .

Your enemies mock You Lord, fools abound and the church has been permeated by the spirit of unbelief, loose doctrine and sanctimonious pride.  We are collectively if not individually disobedient to Your directives.  We make excuse for not sharing Your Word or the bounty that You have given us.  We have chosen self over sanctification, traded participation in the world for prayer time and refuse to come out from unbelief or step away from unrepentant sin.  Are there areas of my life that I have not surrendered, continue to justify or of which I refuse to speak truth?  Search my heart Lord for those areas which resist Your truth.  Those places which I or the enemy have established strongholds in defense against Your Word.  Sound your trumpet and let fall the walls and idols erected to “self” or other gods.  Cleanse me, prepare me, let all that I do honor and reflect Your grace.  For these things I ask Your forgiveness Lord.  I see the signs of Your return unfurling like a flag to the wind.  I pray that if You have chosen this day to come back for Your children that I be found doing Your work with my eyes looking up in expectation.  Come soon Lord Jesus.

The following you tube videos clarify and demonstrate the reality and importance of the times in which we live as they apply to prophecy concerning God’s chosen, the nation of Israel.  I pray that this supporting evidence and the words that the Lord has me declare, move believers to a personal sense of urgency causing them to fulfill the Lord’s will for their lives.  Because I believe that the Lord’s return is imminent (likely to occur at any moment, impending..definition from dictionary.com), I demonstrate my belief in that truth through doing what he told me to do TODAY!

Paper tigers, illusionists, stargazers and dream interpreters racing to the prince of this world looking for some type of guaranteed treasure.  Stained by generational curse gainfully selling their children for unholy anointing and power.  We stand here and watch our Brothers run after dreams of center stage and tin foil crowns.  We clap and throw stones as the King of Glory walks up that stony mount carrying upon Him the weight of our iniquity.  Or worse we stand bye and watch others do the deed and remain mute.  Being blind binds me to my pain forever.  How many false tears and tales have I shown to a world that loves my thespian display?  Enough!  Holy Father please take from me this moth-ridden sham, woven by the spinnerets of my dissembling tongue.

I run proclaiming, “The Lord is coming, the Lord is coming”, driven on by an urge that calls from the parts of me planted deep in the soil of the Holy Father’s Word.  “Must I Father, Must I?”, became “Send me, Father” somewhere along the highway and I never even saw the other man leave.  Things I used to hold on to praying that He would never require of me I now beg for Him to take away.  Send me to the fire Lord, send me to Sodom’s edge, so that I may sing of your Grace and Love so grand that maybe someone will hear above the hungering flames.  Grant me voice so sweet and loud that it cuts across the rambling hatred of this world gone haywire.  Let them know the extent of Your love.  Bear this cross for me Lord as I cannot carry it alone, but through You I will make my stand upon that dreadful hill just for a glimpse of Your Glory.

Let them see Your Face and hear Your Words spoken through an instrument designed to play the music of your beautiful love.  Rosin Your bow and draw it against the strings of my trunk bringing forth dissonance meant for the ears of man.  Let them here my pain, if that will shake them to clarity, reason and Truth.  My attempts fall beneath the shield of deaf ears, crushed by overwhelming folly and the girders of insupportable knowledge.  I understand now why it is so hard to wait upon Your Will Father, because in Your time these things will come about and my part is to see the splendor of Your Mighty Hand.

I am present Father.  How it turns out matters little compared to what I have been promised when all is complete.  Thank You for letting me call myself Your son.  Praise Your Holy, Righteous and Mighty Name.  Victory, Honor and Praise to the Lamb, the Righteous One of God.  Jesus, what a glorious name!

Just as evidence of the Holy Spirit’s presence is unmistakable, the symptoms of internal illness, demon influence or unhealed wounds are billboards in our ecosystems.  What do your surroundings reflect about the war, injury or compartmentalization occurring in your world?  Are the attempts to conceal this evidence keeping you out of fellowship with other Spirit filled believers or worse yet limiting intimacy with the Lord?  Oh, how weighty the price paid for defensive disinformation.  Jesus came to seek the lame and the lost and to set the captives free.  He waits outside our cell doors calling out and knocking waiting for us to answer and sup with Him.  Take a look around, what does the evidence in your life indicate about the internal reality?  Is this really what you want in your walk with Jesus?  If not give it to Him, trust me He can take it.  He wants your baggage, your unforgiveness, your sin, your anger, your idol worship, your pain and your past and in return He will grant you peace.  Nothing else offers such a lopsided deal, because no one else loves you like the Lord.
