Mood’s change, money changes, living arrangement change, hearts, minds and situations all continue on a predictable order of flux and readjustment.  This world continues to revolve and there is solid argument as to whether it is morally evolving or simply devolving into calamity and chaos.  Men, believing themselves capable of making a quantum leap in human behavior are playing the stakes hoping that someday soon, enlightened thinking will take hold and overnight everyone will dedicate themselves to global good and sustained thinking.  Seasons race by, colder, hotter, drier or calmer, they seem misaligned with the pace of man’s decadence.  Or rather it is humanity who has become misaligned with the natural order of things, believing ourselves somehow outside of the logical underpinnings and universal norms.  The principles of tipping points, chaos theory predict a breaking point in history where the forces of decay will tip the scales of possibility, catapulting humanity toward cataclysm.  That is the story of despair, told throughout the ages by the enemies of God, hoping to lull men to sleep in belief that there is nothing that may be done.  For everything changes and other than grasping for every ounce of self satisfaction in this life we remain without any control of the inevitable demise of man.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

For there is a Rock upon which all is constructed that has and never will change.  This Rock of Ages is the beginning and the end of history, sustaining, creating, controlling, balancing all the laws upon which the universe revolves.  Through our dependence upon this Foundation Stone we may find peace in the One who never changes.  Isn’t that the best place to begin any building, bridge or worship.  Constructing upon the One who never moves, shakes or gives ground to worldly/heavenly forces.  I continue in a state of metamorphosis, being remade, shaped, trimmed, honed, polished and reworked by the Hand that made me.  Change is my lot in life.  How I accept His transformative influence, adjust, surrender and seek that Artistry determines the level of my anguish or joy.  It is truth to say that I could be dying of cancer and still remain positive, contagious and encouraging in the midst of my pain.  Though my life continue to be reshaped toward passage to another plane, I can remain in a state of understanding regarding my place in the world and the currents of change I navigate.  I change, God doesn’t and praise His Holy Name for that fact.  For though my life remain in a state of constant flux, my heart and mind remain anchored to the One who never moves.

Praise God’s Righteousness that never changes for from this goodness I may measure my steps.  Praise God’s Truth, for though all thought and substance be malleable, His Word remains unchallenged and steady.  Praise God for His kind of Love, for through it I am able to adore the horrid and be kind to the undeserving, in unconditional remembrance of His Sacrifice for mankind.  Praise God’s Faithfulness, for in those moments I believe to have quit the race, I am reminded that He never will.  Praise God for His salvation, for just as one man condemned all to sin, One set us all free through Purity, Sacrifice and Everlasting Redemption to a Perfect and Holy God.  Praise Him Who Never Changes, so that something remains reliable while all else spins in cacophony toward oblivion.  Jesus Be Praised.

No huge malls or buildings exist to commemorate my name and legacy.  There are no grand sonnets, plays, tragedy’s or cinemas dedicated in my honor from which people may wonder about my passing.  I have no children, to carry on my name, as an emblem of the arrows filling my quiver.  There are no great endowments left behind to remind people of my philanthropy.  I am no athlete, no historian, no leader, no parliamentarian.  There are no lasting pieces of art to remind people of my great talent as they look upon the things fashioned by my hand and imagination.  No well read books document my traversal through this world.  Yet what I have is more precious than any gold or silver ever held by man.  I have introduced many to the Lord Jesus Christ and lived to see them redeemed, cleansed and set upon the road to eternity.  That is my treasure, that is my headstone in this world, that I helped the Lord Jesus set them free from sin and death.  On that I may rest peacefully.

If I may give you one thing let it be God’s love for He waits patiently, intently upon each of us.  In Jesus Holy Name I pray for you to know Him in this world and the next.

Wickedness spreads its shadow as moral boundaries are forgotten or non existent.  New York City, the place where George Washington and Congressman consecrated this nation to God.  No wonder it is the location of an all out assault on public displays of oddity, desecration and human depravity.  The ethical relativist, which by itself is a strange word conglomerate, for how may we gauge the science of public morals if they have no pendulum boundary?  That is the nature of wickedness, for it requires the decadence of an unholy mind to provide validity and definition.  If I can think it, then it is acceptable public behavior is a dangerous place for a nation to reside.  We find ourselves at the juncture, one step away from a charismatic leader, like Hitler who determined genocide was necessary and perfectly explainable behavior, for the good of his version of mankind.

How Lord did we a believing, Judeo Christian, innocence loving nation so quickly resolve to a such an abominable position?  It seems improbable the speed with which our transformation resulted.  And what are we to believe is the next most likely future condition?  Scientists, the same scientists who would use ethical behavior to predict and study national circumstance, are frankly at a loss.  Unfortunately it appears they know the potential outcomes they just will not look at the obvious.  We are headed for a fall, tied firmly to our lack of shared moral footing and absolute truth.  No one can agree upon acceptable behavior, or simply upon what is right and wrong, so no healthy path forward may be collectively determined.  We are caught in the valley of indecision and the moving target of tolerable excesses.  From this mobile bullseye, chaos rules, leading eventually to a ruler who thrives in this lack of foundation.  If there are no collective rules, he will be free to write his own.  This would be the death of humanity as we are left to the “relativistic” determinism of a single, evil and totally ambitious man.  We all know what he is like, his head has shown throughout history, coincidentally each time man wandered away from God.

Don’t you want some limits to behavior?  Do you really want your children to see sexual images from the time of youth?  Do we truly want our young adults believing they are free to pursue whatever their minds may concoct, simply because freedom without constraints is now perceived the highest achievement?  Or are we too sold upon the value of a “no holds barred” mentality here in the United States?  Have we so quickly forgotten what made us different from the other nations in history, what “set us apart” from all other nations before us?  Are we doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past for not remembering history’s lesson, as George Santayana so aptly queried?  There is a way forward that doesn’t include the self-imprisonment of decadence.  It is the way that leads via the Cross of Christ at Calvary.  Each of us may choose to be forgiven of all sin and be set free from the consequences of man’s wickedness and deceit.  Believe upon Christ Jesus and be cleansed by His perfect sacrifice of a life freely given for us upon Calvary’s Cross.  Believe and repent, then be remade in the likeness of God for all men to see, which glorifies His Holy Name.  Don’t be swayed by your own decadence, cry out to God and have the veil of your own delusion removed so that the truth is made clear.  Escape the judgment to come, in Jesus Holy Name I pray.

Can I be thankful for the pain?  Do I trust the discipline?  Do I have a mind/heart for discerning God’s intention for my life vs. those assaults and temptations thrown out as snares of the enemy?  How much difficulty, troubles or challenges should we really expect as citizens of heaven, bearing the name of the Lord Jesus Christ upon our lives?  Considering that the Lord Jesus told us that we would have troubles and be hated for His name, is it realistic or simply delusion to crave a lifestyle without conflict in a world bent for chaos?  What level of life difficulty should we anticipate as price of aligning ourselves with Jesus?  At root, do we believe God’s Word enough to stand, never denying, never wavering in those moments we are called upon to give a defense of our faith?  Do I love God enough to accept, appreciate and thank God for the sanctifying episodes of pain within my life that are used for His Good Purposes?  Is His Glory really what I am after?

I am in it right now.  You know one of those periods of time where everything is being stripped away, revealing the rough surfaces that are typically hidden below the visible exterior.  God is breaking down those remaining barriers, emptying those remaining cupboards and shaping those surfaces which up until now I have either resisted or I thought safe from His masterful touch.  What choices are available at this juncture?  Should I cry out because the pain is absolutely too much to bear?  Yes, for it is not through my own strength or ability that sanctification occurs.  I need Jesus, to cleanse me, remake me, steadily providing experiences that shape me, sharpen me and refine me in preparation to spend eternity with a Holy God.  My Father, whose salvation is unknown told me before he died that I was to “avoid the temptation to get out of the fire”.  If in fact he was unsaved, then the Lord used an unsaved gentile to give a message to me.  This Holy Spirit baptism is one of fire, refining us just as the silversmith requires to purifying precious metals.  It is in the fire that I meet myself, see my impurities removed and also where God protects me as He walks alongside my time within the furnace.  The pain of the fire is more than I can bear alone.  Praise God that He is with me in the fire, shaping me, remaking me, making me useful to His intention and Good Will.

I need God, right now in the midst of trial, but I need Him even more when I am in relative comfort and elusive peace.  For, I am in the greatest danger of falling when I believe myself beyond the dangers of temptation, safe from the pain of the fire.  I must remain armored up, protected by the defenses of God’s Almighty shadow, His righteousness, His faith, His truth, His peace, His salvation, His Mind, walking in His Word utilizing it to dispel falsehood removing the veil of worldly deception so that others might see the truth of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.  I have been saved, cleansed and made righteous by Christ’s Work.  I have been set aside and called by the Holy Spirit that indwells every point of my being.  I have believed, spoken and used God’s Holy Truth to separate soul from spirit leaving behind only authenticity.  I have finally told those with ears to hear about God’s Plan for the salvation of mankind through the life, death, resurrection and ascension of His Son, Jesus Christ.  This is my purpose, this is the reason for my pain, this is the quickening of my soul for which I must cry out to God for the courage, strength and stamina to withstand the times of fire and navigate the times of peace through wisdom.  God’s Holy Name be blessed in worship and in Truth.  Jesus be praised.  May I bring honor and glory to God through a life well-lived upon the road to the foot of His Throne.

An empty cup must by nature have nothing within, not even residue.  The filling of the Spirit can only come when all else have been removed, leaving a clean, prepared surface and volume.  My strength may have been sufficient to most worldly tasks, but what if I need to do something supernatural?  This is not about my capacity to understand, control or rewrite reality, but to fully surrender to God’s Saving Grace for my life as I live out Christ in this world.  I cannot achieve, nay I cannot even embark upon the path to that which God intends to accomplish through this vessel while continuing to vacillate, stress or wonder about how and what I can personally achieve.  He is the Captain of the ship, my job is to set sail, clean, navigate or serve at whatever station upon the ship I have been assigned.

We are coming to that moment where the church has been infiltrated to such extent that a “coming out” is not only necessary but essential to fulfilling God’s Kingdom Plan for us.  We have resolved to rote ritualistic attendance and worship and surrendered all authority or Holy Spirit filling in order to make for ourselves a comfortable place to reside.  The work is outside the church walls, it is wonderful to have a place into which we may return from our work in order to encourage, feed, refresh and prepare for the next commission journey, but we were never meant to live out our Christianity solely within the walls of the Church.  True worship is obedience, the wounded reside along the roads and desperate places of mankind.  It is there we were meant to find them, love them, repair them and point them toward the Lord God for salvation and sanctification.  Certainly there are those who were meant to serve within the church, keeping it in working state of repair or serving the saints as the arrive and embark, but the bulk of us were meant for field work.  That realization and subsequent prayer with the Lord, meditation upon His Word and enlightenment given only by Him will direct us again to true purpose and fulfillment for the Bride of Christ.

Lord I have never been worthy, yet You gave all for my salvation.  I have never had enough strength, courage, talent, treasure, time or love, yet You give me freely as I ask to be filled with those necessary forces.  It is for Your Purpose and Plan that I live.  Search my heart and keep me clean as I follow You on the path to eternity.  In Jesus Name I pray.  Amen

Father, they are my purpose.  To see them know peace, to realize the sweet comforting breeze of love’s touch upon their smiling faces, to accept freedom from personal prisons of sin, history and remorse.  There is no greater moment for me than that instant following encouraging someone, seeing their relief from anguish, as I share a simple hug, a kind word or inspiration and hope from Your Holy Gospel.  That is the moment of my fulfillment, the pinnacle of my existence here on this plane is to know that I have planted a small seed that when grown may lead a person to everlasting relationship with You, Father.

Sometimes I have nothing to give them but a reminder of hope.  Other times I can feed them well or introduce them to other Christians who might help them through dilemma, poverty or addiction.  Regardless, knowing that I am living within that function for which You have created me is repeatedly refreshing to my soul, no matter my circumstance.  I don’t have great oratory capacity, I have no great wealth, no miracles, no coffers full of health and influence, yet you still send them to me.  They are my hope, my evidence of kinship and authority given me by the King, for I may in some small manner diminish their pain, and that just feels right.

Lord, we see that this world is leaning toward chaos.  As evil gnashes its teeth, hoping in foolishness for victory, we who call ourselves by Your Name are humbled to serve in whatever capacity Your Will directs.  For the outcome is determined, my place in paradise assured and therefore my hope irresistible.  Who can take anything away from a man who has secured a mansion at the behest of Almighty God?  I long to look into Your Eyes and walk with You in the cool of the day, but for now I will simply enjoy serving Your Glory by applying my Grace given gifts to comfort those who desperately need to know Your Name.  For those waiting, wondering and hoping, that Name is Jesus, The King of Kings, the Lord of All.

How are you reacting to all the data regarding Christ’s imminent return?  Are you on the fence as the apparent lack of coincidence with regard to historical, numerical, prophetic and circumstantial information, preferring to maintain a “wait and see” approach?  Or are you preparing your heart, doing the work with renewed vigor as you see the signs of God’s coming judgment and unfolding plan for humanity?  Maybe you are paralyzed not knowing what to believe and because you have limited knowledge of Biblical and human history you are unsure, afraid and uncertain of which way to turn or whether action is prudent, even necessary.  Whatever your standing, I must encourage you to ask these and other questions so that you may at least understand what position you believe, for Christ remanded us to a position of vigilance and readiness of the Master’s return.

I must say that I am fascinated with the age in which we live.  Let us look at what we know for sure, Christ’s return is assured, we are to prepare for that return by being found doing the work commensurate with that belief and at some point the entire Earth will suffer significant chaos preceding His landing upon the Mount of Olives as God’s Judgment is poured out upon the masses.  There will always be argument, speculation and opinion on the events predicting and preceding that return, but they are simple sign posts along the road to glory.

God chose for His own purposes not to reveal the date, that may have been so that we would have choose to be ready instead of waiting until the last minute to seek salvation.  I do not know, but I do know that He chose not to tell us and that purports that He didn’t want us to know.  So there must be some intention or surprise value associated with not giving us this information.  I must therefore make a choice to “have oil in my lamp” or be found without the light necessary to follow the master when He comes.  I do know that we must not give into fear for that leads to either paralysis or unwise action.  God is in charge all the time, even when bombs are falling, pestilence is spreading, criminals are committing atrocities and leaders are seeking self satisfaction.  So it really doesn’t matter when He returns just that He will and we should be prepared, keeping our eyes skyward for He shall come just as He left.  Praise Him in His infinite Glory, write His Word upon your heart and walk as if you mean it.  Intentionality is a bi-product of a believing heart.  In Jesus Name.

How does the fly know to seek relative safety at the boundaries of my sight?  What is it that I cannot see, not those things which are manifest in mirror’s glimpse, but those things remaining just outside the event topography of my visual capacity?  What potency does love possess beyond its influence in every apparent relationship?  How does it impact the definition, understanding and malleability of my universe?  Does my giving freely into God’s Love transform the entire sphere of my wake within this world and every plane to which I have random, chaotic or intended connection?  How is my spirit changed by God?

Is the Love of God my expression of power within this law constricted world?  Can my expression of love for those people, like myself whom are undeserving of such care, a valid demonstration of authority, strength, understanding, wisdom, hope and force unavailable to those outside of relationship with God?  Does this love, which remains at the periphery of my understanding yet colors every interaction, circumstance and belief remain the basis of my authoritative kinship to God?  Am I a prince and a priest, loving His sheep as God intended or do I seek merely to preserve my own legacy, carefully calculating the historical record of my passage through this one way dimensional transition, life?  What is it that I do not know but just take for granted, that in true understanding my view of everything would be fundamentally and definitively transformed?

I am so limited in myself, yet limitless in Christ Jesus, such that my comprehension and approach to “impossibility” is uniquely exchanged for functional understanding of infinity within a finite space.  Can I comprehend a God with no beginning, no end, no controls, limits or laws without having first asked for, accepted and dwelt upon the Love of God through Christ?  Lord, yes, I am inadequate to the tasking, yet, I see now how truly unimportant that factor becomes.  Even my understanding is a conduit for Your limitless capacity to Create, Renew and Orchestrate Glory and Righteous Victory.  I am in awe of You and through the Grace of Your Mighty Love I understand Just how awesome, Awesome really is.  I love you God in the name of Jesus Christ my Shepherd and King.

The truth exists outside of my influence or interpretation.  It does not need my recognition, support, validation or belief in order to start, remain or continue in its authenticity.  I cannot extinguish, abolish, avoid or eradicate its natural authority over every law, principle, action and will, for it precedes all of them.  I may in a mad attempt to influence my fates or fulfill my unique and selfish desire warp the truth in hopes of hiding, supporting or justifying my behavior to quell my own feelings of inadequacy, guilt or to prop up my self created delusional existence.  I may live the fairy tale for moments controlling every prop and person upon the stage I have constructed but the truth confounds my efforts through its overwhelming capacity to lift the curtain to the sunlight of its revelation.  The truth sets me free from my surrendered sins and makes me scurry to the dark if I continue in my will to conceal the reality of my existence.

I love you Lord for your truth lays bare all my misconception.  I do not wish to hide, but instead want all those hidden compartments opened to the cleansing power of the light.  Take from me all that I have attempted to conceal, let it be revealed so that I might serve and join in Your Glorious Truth.  All those I have wronged let me treat them right, according to Your standards of love and care.  The wounds I have created, let me aide in their healing, serving, bandaging, caring for those tragedies created by unwillingness to surrender.  I am exhausted by holding up the sheet or cardboard cutouts behind which the people and things of my life must reside to support my created universe.  Let me find rest in Your Truth, no longer wishing to massage reality in order to make myself look good.  I am empty, laying here a vessel committed to Your Will.  Mold me, shape me, use me or smash me upon the Rock of Ages, but do it according to Your Glorious Truth in my creation.  Use me for my True purpose, let me rest from my efforts of climbing mountains and descending to caves I was never meant to traverse.  Lead me to the light of Your Righteous Fate for my existence.  This is Your Life, give me the courage to live it for You.  In Your Holy Name I pray to God the Father through Jesus Christ the King, lift up my voice Holy Spirit so that my prayer may be heard by the ears of God.  Amen.

Authenticity and hypocrisy are stark opposites.  They are anti matter composites that clash and seek to vanquish each other on the world stage.  If my actions, my behaviors and my beliefs do not specifically coincide then I have chosen the side of ambiguity and hypocrisy.  If I have chosen to “damn the torpedoes” and plow ahead no matter the chaff, flack or poll-baited feedback then I am standing firmly on the side of living out my philosophy.

Let us be cautious and remember that just because someone is authentic does not make them good for we all may in deed be living real for the sake of evil.  However, direct combat against those living declared for evil is much easier then sorting out those who have another face, and may be living in our midst.  That is why our enemies will always choose deception, for they must blend amongst us in hopes that God will allow them to root not wishing that in pulling them out of their grounding he takes with them a handful of those destined for righteousness in eternity.  That is why hypocrisy is the true enemy of the righteous man and why the Lord Jesus Christ acted so responsively to its presence.  For if we see hypocrisy in the church we may be assured that those who serve the enemy of God have weaseled themselves to nest among the branches in the mustard tree of the faithful.  For God’s enemy is the father of lies and deception seeking to bring those who might be led astray into dangerous thinking and subsequent sins against God.

Just yesterday a young man came to me riddled with health and mental ailment.  His obvious physical pain was eclipsed by the emotional and spiritual turmoil evident through his eyes.  Seeing a pentagram dangling from his neck chain I asked him what he believed and he said that he was a “spiritualist” and then corrected himself saying he was a wicken.  My heart went out to him in love, for this man and his pain is not my enemy, but rather the demonic spirits who have contorted him in disbelief.  I asked what led him to this choice and before he spoke I thoroughly expected his response.  He said the hypocrisy, back biting and judgement of the church.  As he spoke I begged God for forgiveness of myself, my brothers and sisters for allowing our position as the bride of Christ to be poisoned by such monstrosities.  I asked him to forgive us for this was not what the Lord intended for the redeemed.  As I told him that our true intention was love for him, even in his most sinful moment, a tear took shape at the event horizon of his spirit.  After speaking with him the Holy Spirit directed me to speak about the importance of absolute truth.  This he understood and actually said the following, and I am poorly paraphrasing, ” the wicken do not judge me and they let me be me so I can pursue God”.  I asked him if I might pray for him and he wept as I prayed for God’s revelation in his mind and spirit and that God might see in His will to heal him in mind, body and spirit.  I told him that I was able to love him because God first loved me at my absolute worst, at that moment when I could not even love myself, for who could love a man full of sin and unrighteousness?  Then I answered that question by saying, God alone can love us at that moment and that is why I love God and I love you, because he has never left me from that moment until now.

We know that the Bible clearly states that we will never end the hypocrisy in the church, for it is a thing which will only be done through judgment, and that belongs to Christ Jesus.  However, I may recognize, elucidate and speak out against hypocrisy within the church for this is the King’s position and I am called in mimicry to do the same.  Let us learn that hypocrisy within the body is evidence of the presence of evil.  Let us pray and fast, declaring this territory in the name of Lord Jesus Christ, banishing the fallen from our midst through the power of the Blood of the Lamb.  For in these evil days, knowing that God’s enemies are masters of deception and then turning a blind eye to the evidence of its existence within our own ranks is absolute foolishness.  Since we are the vessels of the Holy Spirit and thus wielders of wisdom and truth, we cannot stand idly while God’s enemies stand in God’s House uncontested.  For we are the restrainers of evil in this world until the Lord calls us homeward.  Let us do our job and be authentic in defense of righteousness and truth by speaking out against hypocrisy and loving through the power of God’s Almighty Grace.  In Jesus’ Name.
