Would you be mad at me, if I told you that I didn’t really care if you could feel God’s Presence?  Would you think it a little odd, if I frowned at you?  Confounding you in your desire to make emotive, theatrical, reason the basis for your belief in God.  It ain’t about how you feel, about the electric stimuli in your outer arm of the hair standing up on your neck.  If you never even felt a single touch of his shadow or saw his smiling face as you finished the race, it wouldn’t interrupt a bit of my faith.  Cause it’s not about me and my feelings it’s about God and the fact that he said I AM.  Whether I can see, or I can hear, I understand the voice of the shepherd, none of this matters one bit when it contradicts one ounce of his doctrine.  Though a relationship with God possesses the greatest passion and dedication any life has every felt, you won’t feel one bit until you have given up all doubt about God’s rightful place in your heart.

Shout and dance in some emotional trance brought on by rock guitar and some lasers.  They shake their hair, close their eyes and repair, striking a pose meant to convince you.  Standing outside, awaiting his bride is the sovereign king our Almighty.  Then a well dressed romantic with well-prepared schtick bids you ignore the knocks on the door as he gives you more flashing lights and magical fancy.  Then he ends with a flare leaving the room to declare his preaching the best in the county.  All well and good but the place where he stood is reserved for Lamb who is worthy.

I am not at war with you, I’m not bored with you, nor subdued by your wisdom and knowledge. The enemy would either have us fight about what we think is right or how powerful each of us will be to the master.  None of that matters nor do any of the other deceptive attempts of the enemy to obfuscate, conceal or divert attention from the true subject of conversation, Jesus.  Jesus is the intended focus of all our intention and subsequent willingness to work.  If in fact, I use all of my tact to limit how I react, I will not ever feel backed in the corner.  My focus of this life and the next is Him, God, Jesus, The King, the Spirit, whatever name you wish to call Him.  This world may be just a mist of vibrations determined to test my dedication to concept.  The veil may roll away at some point leaving the true world exposed, but right now I am prone to the deception machinations of the enemies of God.  Knowing this I must refrain from further in depth conversation with you regarding your ego or emotion’s control of your relationship with God.  I pray that you hear his voice, but even if you don’t I pray that your faith extends beyond the natural stimuli you seek to verify your belief.  I would rather choose to believe in faith and be proved wrong then to miss a relationship with him by having everything factually proven to the adequate suspension of my disbelief.
