Theophilia

The Lord loves me so much.  Not reward, not recognition of conformity but love for the real me that only He knows.  No stories, no secrets, no lies, standing psychologically naked without shame before my Maker.  His eyes upon me in the admiration of a loving Father, patiently waiting for me to become encouraged, strong and mature.  Never leaving for a moment even when I begin to soar, always keeping a watchful eye for the moments when I need flight correction or adjustment.  Not allowing me to walk into danger or continue in self destructive behavior by sending messengers to guide me through the thicket.  Holding me accountable to what I was commanded and to what I vowed.  “Right actions will never be regretted”, a small quiet voice says in the deep end of my mind.  That love makes me unstoppable because I know at the end of all my trials, work, ministry, and failures I get to go be with Him for eternity.  I have the joy of knowing what it means to be loved this way.  Nothing else compares.  Lord let me show them the way to Your love so that they too may feel this inexplicable joy.  Glory to God in the highest and here on Earth.  Jesus my love my joy.  Amen.

Prayers and Tares

We find ourselves seated at a table with unlikely characters. Knowing that we had to do something we chose collectively to involve ourselves with demons. Not lower level assistants pent on doing the bidding of some unseen party boss, but the actual ravenous monsters themselves determined to unseat the King and consume the Kingdom. What desperation drives a man to sign on with enemies is commonly understood as last on the list of choices. Why then have we decided to associate with such characters prior to reaching the end of any rope? What manner of malfeasance caused us to seek company of the damned when a myriad of recourse remained? Pecuniary, perhaps. Passion, perchance? Whatever the reason, or absence thereof, apparently judgment has escaped logic’s holding. Wishing as wishing does will not free us to flee in the jail break with prudence. The jail to which we have secured ourselves is greater than any to which we could have been involuntarily sequestered. The personally designed cells consistently carry greater tragedy than forced incarceration.

The Bible refers to the doctrine of demons and continually calls warriors for the Cross to be mindful and resolute that they never find themselves among the deceived. How then do we stand among the waylaid? When did we abandon the watch, leaving our post open to infiltration and subterfuge? What sparkling gem were we proffered so brilliant that its value eclipsed promised eternity? What spectrum of valuation did we enjoin, measuring items priceless in same scope with corrosive bangles? When a man sells out, typically it is due to receiving promise of greater esteem or ambrosia. What elixir have we been promised? What kingdom, greater than the Divine delivers greater treasure than that of the Almighty God? How deep and dark the well of despair bringing a man to that choice of darkness over light. Buying that property in desperation requires powerful deception. A lie so strong that it defies reality, faith and mathematical factoring. These questions remain unanswered not for lack of evidence or explanation but rather in desired concealment of the cauterizing effects of medicinal truth. We don’t want to know anymore and look away from family to the numbing slumber of opium and orgy. The real popular catatonia being this lie jointly purchased in exchange for rationale and innocence. The unavoidable conclusion is that we have neglected ample warning, chosen false company and subsequently fallen prey to potent coercion.

All may appear determined, beyond repair, but this in itself is another layer of beguilement. Hope is eternal, victory assured for the contender for God remains in control. Even in the face of assured defeat the over comer envisages salvation and joyous celebration of deliverance from shadow. These things are FORETOLD, laid out for even the wicked to comprehend and in so understanding their only argument must be one of confusion, obfuscation and surrender. The outcome is known, the process predicted and enemy strategy revealed not through human intelligence but the only party outside of time, The Father God. Return to reason, accept your manuscript and remember the end before the tribulation. Keep your eye upon the outcome, not the obstacle. Look beyond and the current will fall from focus, dissolving in revelation of the Real. Contend for the faith, stand in the guaranteed promises of God, love unceasingly Your Lord and your Brother. Knowing without doubt what approaches. Though artillery overwhelming, and fog thicker than night, keep the light, awaiting arrival of hope in the person and divinity of Yeshuah Hamashia. Jesus will prevail.
