Fear Not

Do you fear losing something in your life that causes you to tolerate your own or somebody’s sin to avoid having to face the realization of what sponsors that fear?  Are you sleeping with someone because you are afraid of losing them, hiding drugs or alcohol use to protect someone else or even stealing because the economy is bad?  These are choices that will put us in the dangerous position of being disciplined by God, perhaps even forgoing blessings that He has planned for us because we refuse to repent of what we deem “necessary sin”.  Unfortunately the scriptures are pretty clear as to what happens to believers when they disobey the Words of warnings from God.

“And fear not them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him who able to kill both body and soul in hell.”  Matthew 10:18  ” For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth and scourgeth every son whom he receivith.”  Hebrews 12:16

Fear is one of the enemy’s strengths. satan will use fear and threats of loss of treasure or relationship to draw you into violating God’s direction.  How about the loss of fellowship with God?  Each time I sin, I miss Him, because our fellowship is affected.  Especially those times, like with Adam where I consciously sinned knowing in advance that it was wrong.  Look there should be nothing more valuable to any Christian than the approval, love and fellowship with God through Jesus.  Anything that threatens achieving the fullness of that sustained relationship with God is of the enemy, in this case the enemy being whatever caused me to sin.  I don’t want to lose people, jobs or things because I refuse to violate the Holy Spirit’s conviction upon my life, but I must, because a man cannot serve two masters.  I serve God so anything that threatens that relationship or causes me to sway my behavior, thoughts or beliefs is an idol.

What fears keep you from obeying God’s calling upon your life?  I hope that the list is short but even if there is one thing on it the chances are that one thing is what God is calling you to forgo, sacrifice or repent of in order to open the door of blessing or come closer to you in fellowship.  I have to ask is it worth it?  Is he/she worth it?  Is the lie, treasure, job or pursuit worth losing close fellowship with Almighty God, risking His discipline in the balance?  If you think that you are the one Christian who will avoid the discipline of God, please think again.  Read the scripture and see that He will judge “all” sin and discipline those whom he loves.  Did you read the “chasteneth” and “scourgeth” words?  Those were about “every” son whom He receiveth, not just the disobedient ones.  Chasten to means to reprove, punish or correct through discipline and scourgeth we all know that refers to whips like those they used to rip the Lord’s skin.  If he is willing to do that to those whom He loves, who are obedient, what do you think He would do for those who are disobedient?

Lord God I pray that we put nothing before you but our bodies, pure and ready as holy sacrifice.  Cleanse us Father of all unrighteousness by the precious blood of Jesus I ask that we be sanctified in preparation of spending eternity with a Holy God.  If any of my Brothers or Sisters are holding on to some sin out of fear or any other pressured reason, I ask that you set them free from the grasp that binds them.  Fill them with an irresistible desire to be right with You, Lord, to spend each day walking with You in the Garden of Peace and fellowship of Almighty God.  Please hear my prayer Lord and forgive me the greatest sinner, for I know what is right and yet I still do not do right.  Thank you that Jesus Christ is my savior and king for ever and ever, otherwise I would have no hope of eternity.  Amen.

To God’s Glory

The reason for my sorrow is that I see a tomorrow filled with promise if we’d just embrace truth.  That’s it, sitting in the position of the believer can create building frustration that the nations will not heed the unavoidable reality of the Word of God’s direction.  I mourn for this nation for it has lifted its skirts up to its breast forgoing every ounce of decency in pursuit of perpetual sensual fulfillment.  We have become the nation of Israel in olden times.  Blessed and ungrateful, immoral without shame, wanton without limits, constantly worried, harangued, disquieted and quarreling, whilst the enemies stand at the gates waiting for darkness.

My hope is not in our ability to turn things around.  God has given us problems that we cannot collectively resolve, so that we must turn to Him for resolution, succor and peace.  I do believe that these problems will bring us together in an attempt to “reason” our way out of predicaments beyond our control, but that coalescing will be the beginning of God’s judgment upon mankind.  For we will not come together and cry out to him collectively, asking forgiveness and beseeching His healing hand.  We will instead cry out in pride, rage and blame, castigating Him for ever creating a paradise to which we could not once again find entry.  We will have reached the point of no return as a species, a time where grace is no longer necessary because we will no longer consider acceptance of grace a possibility.  We will have finally turned our faces from God in denial of the Holy Spirit, committing the unforgivable sin of denying God’s place in our lives.  Oh what a miserable period of time that will be for humanity.

But within this tragedy resides a Great and Glorious Morning Star, that at that moment of God’s unfolding rage, there will be millions who give their lives calling out to God and publicly declaring allegiance to King Jesus.  The harvest will be greater than any preceding season since the dawn of man.  Oh what a glorious time it will be when so many come to Christ as a result of the collective “consciousness” that He is, always Has been and always will be the One Sovereign God of this or any universe.  We will not evolve as the world dwellers would have us believe but we will be transformed into what we were meant to be.  My hope is in the salvation of nation of Israel, when they weep as they behold the truth of their Messiah, Jesus Christ the King.  My joy will be in untold millions dressed in white raiment living together as one in service of the Righteous and True King of Everything.  Praise His Will, may it be done soon on Earth and in Heaven to the Glory of God Himself.  Amen.

No sense in perception

Worldly cares, sorted affairs, deep seated hues of purple and black.  The words you cannot take back once inclined upon attack, regrets and over shares.  Whispering names written up the arm and thigh of his gown, throwing down my crown, shouting praise with no more tears.  Through years of fears and water we’ve waded and waited to become belief beyond elated.  Fated to fight the night with might and sight, yearning while discerning, claiming victory, a convict of glory, held by chains of majesty and hope.  In love with the dove anointing the lamb’s bright glow, too young to know too old to grow, adept with seed and hoe.  No fear of where we might not go, tucked inside the palm of the Great I AM.

There is no other place for me but with God.  There is no hope but His plan.  For millennia we have held tightly to unsubstantiated insistence that somehow man will somehow manage to free himself from the strangling snares of sin and death.  When does a man let go of childish perspective and accept truth, life and accountability.  If there were some reasoning that made sense or some evidence of the things to which you cling I would humor you for a moment to make a plausible argument.  There is no bolder for your handhold, no footing for your purchase, only cloud and dust and wind.  Why does it worry you so to be a slave to righteousness.  Does it consume veraciously as does the insatiable maw of sin?  Will a call to goodness, purity, kindness, joy, humility and patience demand of you the price of your good freedom?  Does the lie burn so bright within your mind that you cannot see straight enough to wander from the blazing inferno that awaits?  God Loves and waits, you spurn Him, he loves and waits, you run from Him, He follows and waits, you sin against Him, He waits in love to forgive.

He is the culmination of all pursuits that are worthy of commitment.  He is that light at the end of the tunnel and the wind at your back pushing you onward when darkness threatens your constitution and thirst blanches your throat.  There is none like God.  Worthy of all praise.  Jesus Christ the King.

Dwelling in the House

How does a man remain separated from the world yet venture into it in order to plant the seed of God?  That is my greatest struggle, getting close enough to those citizens of the world to tell them of salvation, without getting saturated in the dedications of an earthly man’s heart.  This is hard stuff, because the alternate, isolation on some mountain top is neither logical nor does it fulfill the great commission, but rather paralyzes the disciple.  Paraphrase from the word, “the man who isolates himself, serves himself.

Enticement is effective and will snatch away a believers thoughts, actions and allegiance if there is not a conscious, continuous, intentional effort to armor yourself with the things of God.  His righteousness, guarding your heart, His truth protecting your loins, His salvation covering your thoughts with eternal assurance, His peace leading you from trivial violence, His faithfulness protecting you from the blazing darts of the enemy and His Glorious Word scattering enemies as it separates soul from spirit.  Even then the Lord sees each of our footfalls and perhaps prayer may deliver each of us from the darkest inks of this world threatening to poison our souls.  Lord deliver us from sin and keep from the hour of our testing while we deliver the truth of Your Gospel.

I am not strong enough, good enough, smart enough to complete the Will of God.  His thoughts are above my understanding.  Sometimes He shows me hints and whispers but even then I am only given those things which are commensurate with the need of my current tasking.  I will overcome this world by believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God.  That is my redeeming faith, that I have put my entire trust in one that is right and true.  This is my salvation that I have loved God and in so doing I have opened my heart and asked the Spirit of God to dwell with me and me with Him.  I have peace in a disastrous world because I dwell in a house unfettered by earthly chains.  This I know that I will dwell in the House of the Lord, forever.  Amen.  Praise Jesus for His Might and Grace.

The Shepherd’s Gate

What can I do to honor the King?  What measure of glory may I bring to light out of my love for Jesus?  Lord, this world seeks to complicate something that appears so simple.  Allow me to bring clarity and simplicity to finding our way into demonstrating Your Will.  In the book of James, the writer refers to a believer’s action being demonstration of belief that has grown into that measure beyond knowledge that we refer to as faith.  If I believe that Jesus is the Sovereign King of the Universe who gave Himself to cleanse me of the indelible stain of sin then that “faith”, as the writer claims, will compel me to righteous action.  To the point where my faith causes me want to surrender and serve my righteous King and those “works” are referential evidence of my belief.

How should the Holy Spirit be showing up in my life?  Lord I know that my dependence is not upon those works I do or have done to “earn” me a seat in heaven.  Those works that I do are demonstrations of my love and gratitude for Your love and glory.  But Your Word also says that I will be baptized by Spirit and as such, being indwelt by that Holy Spirit I will begin to produce fruits beyond my own capacity as evidence of Your Presence in my life.  That indwelling will create unavoidable changes in my life that will show up as clear testimony to this world that Your Word and Your Spirit are truth in salvation.  I will be unable to avoid becoming; kinder, gentler, more self controlled, patient, faithful and loving.  Those changes will lead to greater efficacy for the Kingdom and as Your Spirit works through my life crops growing toward harvest will cover those fields into which I have planted the Seed of Your Word.  Those around me should be able to recognize this notable change as it acts as witness to the Presence of Spirit in my life.  No Spirit, no salvation, no Spirit, no fruit.

The word “Try” should begin to lose its emphasis and authority in my life as that word inherently refers to efforts taken or performed in my own authority, strength and resolve.  I will no longer have to attempt to be more righteous, try to be more devoted, work to be less harsh or foolish, those changes will come about through the work of the Holy Spirit directly proportionate to my surrender to the molding hand of Almighty God.  It will become ever clearer that my eyes, my heart and my treasure should remain completely fixed upon God’s Will for my life.  I should become increasingly less susceptible to losing myself in the storms, lusts and frivolities of this world as I am transformed into the Heavenly citizen I am meant to become.  I should be less likely to run from the disciplining hand of God, knowing fully that he is cleansing me, sanctifying and purifying me for His purposes and so that I may be ready to spend eternity with a Righteous God.  I should lose my desire to argue against, resist and defy the Word and Hand of God in my life as I become conscious of His Presence in My person, life and spirit.  There must be evidence of the presence of God in my life and that evidence by nature should be indisputable by even those members serving wickedness.

Praise You Lord Heavenly Father for Your Care, Kindness and including me in Your Plan.  I am humbled that You have even given me a moment’s thought, and awestricken that the truth is so much greater than that.  Glory Hallelujah, God is my King.  I speak the name of Jesus and walk through the only door to God.

The path

If it is kept in the back of your mind it kind of feels like you’re keeping it from everyone doesn’t it?  If you don’t talk about it and perhaps sequester yourself from your friends and family are you able to convince yourself that no one really knows what is going in secrecy?  Are you so good at obfuscation that you can hide it all away and go to work acting like nothing has changed, everything is just fine?  How do you deal with God?  You know that He knows every thing.  How do you handle that fact, how do you keep it all neat and tidy, carefully concealed from the eyes of Almighty God?  You can’t, that is why you end up creating distance between you and the Lord in your halfhearted attempts.  What’s worse is that He knew “ALL” the information before time even began having seen every word, sin, movement and secret.  So now I know what it feels like to be Adam and Eve hiding from God, in our nakedness, ashamed in the Garden, frightened of the discipline we know soon will be coming.

I am tired of running from God.  I am tired of bringing discipline upon myself when all that really needed to happen was that I had to bring my sin under the covering and control of the Holy Spirit.  You see, I do not have to sin, but I still do and each time I mourn the loss of intimacy with the Father.  Each time I shed tears for the distance created between us.  And each time I pray for the strength and discernment to not make the same foolish mistake depriving me of closeness to God.

Lord, I should love you more than any thing else yet I still in my weakest moments put other gods on pedestals and turn my face and faith from Your Majesty.  I am sorry for my spiritual adultery.  Teach me to balance the things of work, family and faith in a way that is consistent with Your Plan for my Life.  Let me not miss a single opportunity to recognize Your Grace and Glory, giving you credit for everything that is Righteous and Good.  I see great men and women of the Bible, but like me each one of them had their Achilles heal causing them moments if not great periods of God’s disciplinary action.  Why is that always the case.  Couldn’t someone be obedient?  Couldn’t for example it be me who decided to do what God wanted of me at every juncture, fixing my eyes upon His Glory and dutifully and diligently serving His intention?  There was one, the God Man, leaving us an example, commanding us to be like Him.  Lord teach me the path to being like Jesus.  Give me faith to believe that something that grand is possible.

There are those who still want to be righteous.  Even now we see them awaking.  Awakened by the sudden revelation of evil taking over, they are appalled and have begun to ask conscious questions about the Almighty.  Waking out of coma they first inquire where they are and how they have arrived there.  Their past a fog with little dancing wraiths frolicking on for hours on end.  They want to believe that A God so real exists for the sole purpose of Glory but they are so afraid to be looked upon by the world, as fools.  Yes, I tell them the world will revile you, as they must, hating the Lord of Lords for His Righteousness and denying His authority to judge this World’s Sin.  You know that is what it is all about, their hatred of Jesus, that is?  It is the fact that He had the audacity to claim that He alone will judge this Universe after providing redemption for those who would freely accept it.  They cannot imagine a God with enough power to create them and then determine that the sum total of that creation’s worth is up to His determination.  They define God against His Commandments so He will return the same as judgment.  You see Jesus will judge this world whether or not I believe that He has the authority to do so.  It is just that some of us do not choose to serve futility.

Praise Him for His Righteousness and Truth, because He is right you know.  We all can see the fact that what Jesus described is the best way for a man to live this life and set up eternity for himself in the next.  I love people.  I feel for them in their attempts to challenge, deny, run from and develop a better explanation than the truth.  They do not want to admit that they were the son or daughter of an angry alcoholic, that they aren’t pretty, rich and popular, that dreams do grow on trees like gumdrops, but that just ain’t reality.  You may wish that you were in charge, but thank God that you aren’t.  God is in charge, He created it, He rules it and He decides who is deserving of an extra helping of blessings or another life spent in eternity with Him in Glory.  He has shown us the way to follow Him, but we must choose to walk the path.

Why me?

By what authority you ask do I have permission to speak into the life of anyone else?  Am I not expressly forbidden to judge and based upon this commandment must I then refrain from commenting or analyzing through rebuke any action of another person?   Is referencing the promises, warnings, testimonies, examples and commands in the Bible when asked about observed behavior, judging?  If I speak the Word of God and it convicts an individual of their sin or inaction have I done them a disservice or service?  Who am I?  I am who serves I AM.

Must I be timid or afraid to provide commentary regarding the world’s wickedness or the immoral actions of those who are walking in conflict to the Word?  Wow, I never thought that I could speak from a position of authority about anybody’s actions.  I always saw their lives through my own poor performance and felt I had no room to judge.  Then I got saved and realized that I had been freed of slavery to sin and although I now could clearly see the disobedience and life conflicts in those around me, I still felt it was not my place to say anything.  Now I have been service for many years and realize that my testimony, my love for Jesus and the Bible are the only tools I have to help direct others to the cross where they might meet Jesus.  Does speaking the Word of God to others sometimes ruffle their feathers?  Absolutely.  Is it my responsibility to tell the truth always and risk being unpopular in order that some might see the truth of sin and be subsequently saved?  Absolutely.  Does this responsibility mean that I have carte blanche to say whatever I feel like saying to anyone who needs to hear it, without concern for tone, timing or truth.  Absolutely Not.

I speak the truth in faith and love when I feel prompted by the indwelling Spirit of a Holy God.  Do I sometimes make mistakes and forget to ask Him what He would have me say at the appropriate moment?  Yes, but not as often as in my immature history.  I truly have been affected by the presence of Spirit to the point where I really love people and do not want to trip them up or hurt their feelings.  After all if I am an ambassador of Christ then I must be ever mindful not to chase away the walking wounded.  He wishes for them to come to Him in repentance to find salvation, life and abundance.  Therefore it hangs on my mind that I must allow the Spirit to speak and be particularly cautious about quoting the Bible instead of using my own interpretations of scriptural direction.  If I stick to the promptings of Spirit and adhere to speaking the Word of God to those who ask, then I will not experience the potentially damaging miscalculations of my own understanding.  I might have the right intentions but because my words are not the Living Word then I may miss the mark and actually cause folks to stumble where I intended encouragement.

Christians increasingly are finding it harder to remain diligent to speaking the Word in Truth and Love.  Constrained by the limitations of political correctness, the illusion that we have to refrain from rebuke and steer away from scripture smells of the machinations of fallen angels.  God remains on the throne and the ever changing moral constructs of man have no effect upon an everlasting God.  It is utter falsehood that we have somehow become enlightened as a species and now find ourselves in new ground surpassing God’s Wisdom continues to provide shelter for the enemy and deceive those who would be saved.  Thanks and praise be to God that His Word is everlasting and is sharp enough to separate truth from lie.  Those who would do the work of God to their greatest potential can never go astray speaking and adhering to quoting scripture and verse.  God’s understanding and ways are above mine and I would rather make a mistake quoting scripture where He will use all things to good for His Good Pleasure then be shy and give advice that makes someone stumble or turn from the Cross.

Who am I?  I am who serves I AM.

Know

Do I have any misunderstandings about Christ?  I mean about who He is, what He did and is going to do or about what He commands for my purpose and direction.  Is my concept of Jesus based upon scriptural research and conference with the Holy Spirit or is my understanding of His persona something I received from a preacher, teacher, scholar or media resource?  Do I know for sure that I understand that Jesus is God?  That’s right I said God, because that is why they killed Him you know.  If you are not absolutely certain that you believe what I’ve just said then I recommend wholeheartedly you prove me wrong through scriptural evidence and research.  Don’t ask your girlfriend, priest, pastor or biblical novel writer, go to the source, the Holy infallible Word of Almighty God Himself.  I know for a fact that you will find out that Jesus is God and that the entire Bible is about the Revelation of Jesus Christ to the World.  I don’t wish to hear arguments about why you think that I am wrong I want to see scriptural proof of my misguided understanding.

What have I done to deserve my anointing as prince or priest?  Is there evidence even of my indwelling by the Holy Spirit of God.  Not a record of my good deeds because I am certain that my flesh and the devil will be happy to assist you in that foolish endeavor by regaling your ears of my conquests, surrender and sacrifice.  I am looking for the evidence required of my salvation by scripture.  I am referring to the fruits of the Spirit of God who is supposedly indwelling each believer having been sealed for eternity.  You know; goodness, kindness, patience, humility, peace, long-suffering, maturity, faithfulness.  I know that there are nine but I always have trouble recalling one or two.  What evidence do you see in my life of those fruits?  I will boldly say if you do not see that evidence then I am not saved.  For there has been no indwelling for me by the Holy Spirit of God so I have not been sealed for eternity and baptized by Spirit.  If that indication of salvation is not present then I have called myself Christian but do not have a relationship with Christ.  Having or proclaiming a label without truth of testimony is akin to calling myself Russian because I drink Vodka and dance ballet.  The indwelling of Spirit and relationship with God through Christ is not a label but authentic salvation.

What should I do with my own profanity, shame, falsehood and unrepentant sin?  My greatest desire to is to present myself a sacrifice to God, holy, righteous, obedient and true.  I have tried and failed so many times that it should have caused me to quit long ago upon realization of the impossibility.  However, my salvation does not hang in the balance of my goodness, righteousness or success.  Those are worldly pronouncements of judgment or social classifications of my stature in society.  Thank the Mighty Lord that my failures on Earth have nothing to do with my salvation.

I have tried my hardest and still failed.  What does that say about being good enough for a righteous God?  It says that it is not in my capability.  He wants me Holy, it’s just that it is not something that I can achieve, He alone may sanctify me.  I do not wish to sin, in fact I try with all my might not to, but I still do.  I understand the struggle to which Paul referred.  My job is to turn from my sin, repent and ask the Lord for forgiveness and sin no more just as He told the adulterous woman.  I have to ask, do you think she was able to never sin again?  I would like to think so, but looking at the evidence in my own sinfulness and those of my friends, who are really good people I must add, I would have to say that she probably really tried but fell short again and again like the rest of us.  Lord how long must I remain this shameful creature, prone to sin, even in my best moments, I fail you?

Father my sin burns within my heart as I know that it alone inhibits my intimate relationship with You.  Wash me clean Lord Jesus so that I may remain in fellowship with You.  I know that You are Holy, Righteous and True and that You cannot tolerate sin.  Please allow me to put away my sin permanently and show you clear evidence of Your indwelling through the fruits of my life.  Give me the grace to become that man to which some may incline themselves as they walk toward Your everlasting Life and Light.  Let me learn to love myself in a forgiving manner so that I may extend the same graceful love to others.  Mold me, shape me, make me into the man You would have me be for Your intentions.  We both know that I cannot arrive there on my own volition, intention, action or energy.  I pray to fully and voluntarily surrender myself to Your sanctifying Spirit.  In Jesus’ Name I commend my life to Your hand for whichever purpose suits Your Will.

For those who would know what is occurring in this country, choices must be made surrounding the direction for America.  On which side of the fence will you be standing because this is what is happening and there is no longer anywhere to hide from reality.  These are not the simple times of by-gone-days but the hectic and insecure days of a Christian country that has turned its face away from God and subsequently lost the hand of His Blessing.  Who can deny that we have received this as discipline or just reward for our action/in-action as children of a Holy God.  There is a price for our choices and that price now confronts us in the form of lost security and peace.  May God once again show mercy and grace to this nation because we humble ourselves, turn from our sin and cry out to Him in fervent, humble and honest prayer.  Lord Jesus  we know that you will set things right, come quick Beloved Lord.  http://www.wnd.com/2014/01/2nd-top-military-man-calls-for-millions-to-march-on-d-c/

Cleansing Light

Into the darkness the penny drops, controlled by surface and air tension fighting gravity in a dive of precision and gymnastic excellence.  Past twenty meters I lose sight, listening intently for some whisper, whistle or tinny bounce telling me that the abyss has measure.  I have lost my battle with darkness for it is endless, consuming, breathing, morphing and conforming to every crevice, crack and mooring, even in vacuum, it swallows the imagination.  The silky-black permanence perfectly correlates to my swelling fear.  As I delve into the possibilities of the night I feel my hackles rise and my resolve diminished.  Oh, praise that there is a God and that He can control the ebony maw of shadow’s lust for without light the night would win this fight.  I bask in warmth and rest of light’s cleansing fingers, washed clean of the calamitous dark.  That blood the price of sin redeemed in its exchange for life-eternal.

This thing is cracked and yet I am soothed by Words of Prophets, Priest and Kings, who felt they penned the Mighty Influences God had commanded of them.  Onto the sheets, and rolls, documents, books, tomes, videos and waves they spoke the Truth of God, handed to their hearts by the Spirit who hovered above the waves as God created life.  No man could stand so eternal, knowing outside time the things that were, are and shall come to pass.  Magicians and charlatans crave omniscience, yet there is only ONE TRUE God and His name is Father, Son and Spirit, knowing, seeing and promising beyond constraint of time and creation.  Into His Word I find my self cascading, being polished by the folding of Living Water about my soul and spirit, removing from me bacteria, fungus and granite edges.  Then I am volunteer to the crucible, my metal brought to melting and beyond only to have my dross removed by the master smith.  Cooled and heated repeatedly I find my thoughts and life somehow free of my once ingrained, polluting poisons.  This Word, this sword, this guide beyond the capacity of man’s creation is in itself a proof of Loving God.

My melancholy screams into the pit to which my coin was tossed, telling of my fear-filled nightmare and depressive dismay.  These are the voices of my quickening, the sickening of my sin and its involuntary expulsion from the center to my soul.  It’s sycophantic root ripped from siphoning connection to my core, the victory won and the foul intrusion extracted.  I am free to be the man which God saw in His imagination before He laid finger or voice to the world.  My hope lay in preparation to serve a Holy King, being worthy through His command of sanctification, His Works within my soul and spirit, His Word of surgery in my heart and mind.  This new year is an illusion of the world made to fool into thinking we are slaves to the rise and fall of season, paying homage to the changing tide, moon or traveling sun.  But these are simple mechanisms laid in motion by the thought of God to serve as reflection of His Glory, His Time, His Path and Plan.  The seasons do not control me only the Hand and Will of God, for I am His Work not the byproduct of humanity or nature.  Unlike many I do not wish to be or become like God, I only wish to serve Him to my fullest, knowing perfect fulfillment then expiring to serve His purpose at another outing.  For I am man and He Alone Is God.  Praise His name through Christ the Outreached Arm of His Love.
