Accuracy and imperception.  If I am unclear then my discernment will be skewed.  The foundation must be a new wine skin, a new creature a body washed clean, risen from the dead of poisonous imperception.  I seek to see through the eyes of Christ, perceive via the mind of Christ and speak through the spirit of Almighty God. If I feel that I must argue a point then it should be done from the Word of God, otherwise it is based upon my wisdom that has already been confounded by Almighty God.  If I feel as if I have been falsely accused and believe that God is a righteous judge then I should feel no urge to self-defense unless I have been deceived into fleshly thinking. When I electively, demonstrate my own will in speaking from my corrupted flesh then I am guaranteed conflict with God, people and all of my surroundings.  How then do I remain in the spirit where Christ’s thoughts and Words abound?

This place is painful, but nothing as painful as separation from Almighty God.  This place offers glory and gain, but nothing like that which I receive in the promises of Almighty God.  This place offers friendship, family and felicity, but none of it built upon the unshakeable foundation that is Christ the Rock.  My place is with God in peace, love, work, understanding and commitment to purpose.  I cannot live outside this purpose and expect to righteously explain or be protected from the ravages of mortal men or spirits aligned against all that is Holy.  I must be fully aligned with God and remove or extricate myself from any circumstance that demands I re-enter my flesh.  This is not my home, this is my place of work and as such I may travel to work each day remaining the man of God He requires without joining in or becoming embroiled in the sinful folly of man.  The Lord has overcome all of this, therefore I have the hope that though I am challenged I also am victor.  He has given me this gift, I must choose to accept it and display for all to see my Father’s greatness.

What then of situations that surpass my abilities?  None shall if I am fully dependent on God.  That doesn’t mean that everything is always going to go my way or that I may name it and claim whatever benefit I desire.  It means that my problems are not my own.  God has bid me turn to him and He will give me peace.  I just don’t follow this direction.  I give up for the 6330th time.  I was never meant to win this war or any war, I am simply a messenger of God’s Love and Grace.   Therefore, my problems are self-manufactured for they always lay outside of the part I was sent to perform.  Lord, free me from having to be right, acceptable to man or this childish need to be validated by every person I meet.  I truly mean them no offense but I really do not care about their opinion of my efficacy.  You alone are my judge and though I would have them love me, or offer me respect, if receiving that requires that I enter fleshly discussion, argument, contemplation or litigation then I want none of it.  I thank you for allowing me to stay on plan and simply offer them love, without requirement and a gospel that will set them eternally free.

In Christ I have found eternal life, let me begin to live it now.  In Jesus’s name I pray.
