Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

A crown for those who yearn for return.  Just as with salvation to me this is fantastic, being given recognition for receiving the greatest gift a man could ever be given.  It doesn’t make sense to reward me for looking forward to the greatest day in Human History, that certainly is blessing enough, yet the Lord loves us so much that He rewards those who love Him and obey His commands for their lives.  This is essential to understanding how demonstrating our love for the Lord, in Faith, preparing for a day that we know is imminent, yet of which we know nothing regarding its timing, is itself a grand reward.  The faithful Yearn for Christ’s Return.  We Yearn for Rapture, not that we don’t appreciate the opportunity to be tried, grow and be sanctified on the Earth, it is just, well this is not our home.  We were made to be with the Lord as citizens of the Heavenly Body, the Nation of God.

What then are the symptoms of them who await God’s imminent arrival for Rapture and to Rule and Reign for Eternity?  Well, study of His Word that it might written upon our hearts.  Perhaps, deep prayer, spending time in the presence of the Lord through fellowship in the Throne Room of God.  Yet the greatest evidence is a laser focus upon the things of the Kingdom and eschewing the things and preparations for the future of this world as they are irrelevant to the coming Kingdom of God.  In fact, the Lord states that friendship with the World is enmity, WAR, with God.  Additionally, the parables are clear that it is the readiness to which we must attend if we are to be found prepared for the Lord’s arrival for the Church.  Having oil in our lamps, a desire in our hearts and a clarity in our walk upon the skinny path of obedience and holiness to God’s demands upon our lives are those things that demonstrate an understanding of readiness or yearning for Christ’s Return.

Do you look forward to “That” day, holding it in central regard above all things in this life?  Have you prepared yourself for that moment when you stand before the Righteous Eyes of Fire and give account for this Life?  Do you groan and moan in anticipation of the King’s Return?  I don’t about you but I cannot wait to be home with the Lord. Yes, I love people and I do enjoy doing the Lord’s Work but this world is temporary and tiring in its disobedience, wickedness and desire for self indulgence.  It is with God that I belong.  It is to that glorious day when the Trumpet Sounds calling us to be snatched up to be with Him forever that I reserve all my intention and energy.  I will continue to be true to His Calling and remain here dedicated to the works He has set before me, but I truly understand Paul’s reflection, that leaving this life I will be Home.  Yes, I am yearning for Yeshua, Jesus, Come soon, but if you must tarry, please let me just take one more soul with us before we go.  In your precious Name I pray.  Jesus Christ the King of Kings.

What is that point at which understanding becomes belief and subsequently faith?  Is there a gradient or define range of calibration that determines when we have crossed an apparently invisible transitory line between idea and acceptance?  Aren’t these achievements or works, indicative of movement and eventual mastery of an idea?  How then if something is defined through works could it be used as appropriate measure for acceptance or inclusion in the “non works” related salvation of Gospel Promise.  Yes, without faith we cannot please God as the Bible indicates, however God also clearly states that He gives a measure of Faith to all.  So for those believing somehow that it is a thing of mastery or moment upon which faith is determined to have left the realms of consideration, the realms of belief, we must remember these are the Works of God, surrender is our only applicable Work.

How about coincidence, as I will present a coincidence so realistically tragic this weekend that it smash all conference in believing these occurrences in any measure are unrelated?  There are no coincidences for this life being the testing ground and sanctifying application of our national and personal faith is inherently woven together by the gluon of Christ’s participation in the Creation He created.  Yes, there is a fabric, yes the actions and occurrences of our lives are tied inherently together for how else might the Lord use all things to good for them who walk according to His Purpose.  This not only implies there are no coincidence but determinedly sets forth in proclamation that our lives and the exigent events are in fact interwoven by God, through God for the Good of His Own Purpose.

Is that true for Evil? Well the Lord did not create sin, therefore Sin was a gift of free will disobedience in decision determined by the Created.  In fact this may be the only power we as humans have been given over life is the reasonable assumptions and accountability of Choice.  You see, the Bible states that All things serve the Lord our God for this is His Creation and nothing was Created that was not done so through Him, with Him in the Power of His Almighty Spirit.  So, yes even evil is controlled in the pursuit of God’s eventual Judgment and Plan for mankind.  There are many times that evil was restrained, fought back, transformed or banished by the Power of the Lord Jesus Christ.  That is evidence to the testimony that even evil in its apparent lack of coincidental efficacy in the life of each human somehow intricately depends upon the Lord’s authority and Judgement for its allowance or participation in the lives of mankind.  Even satan, the Lord rebuke him if He chooses was given the power and authority he now observes by God.  One would but to ask Why? to be acquainted with the reality that in that provision that evil plays and important role in the achievement of God’s overall objectives for mankind.  So are there coincidence, no.

Please join me this weekend, God Willing where you will see proof that there are no coincidences in the lives of believers or those who have yet to have their hearts pricked by the Love of the Lord.  May God have mercy on all our souls and bring them to the knowledge of eternal salvation found only through the doorway of the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ the King.

The grand plans circling my mind, begging to be recognized, executed and become the cause for praise of my most excellent talent to mandate righteous thought.  My imagination of my imagination swirls without the limits of moral inquisition, reaching into dimensions beyond the comprehensive understanding of virtual realities.  Beyond the fake constructs of virtual perspective, born themselves of dissatisfaction and mutation of reality to make us something we wish to be instead of that we Are.  What is so precious about “Being” that all philosophies seek to remain in the moment, when the avenues and galaxies and layers of my thought life provide limitless, timeless pursuit of Glory and application that send my thoughts of mortality and humanity crashing to the surface of reality’s obsolescence?

God said that He IS, I AM WHO AM, I AM THAT I AM.  How do we reconcile this mandate and proclamation by the Sovereign Ruler of all in and outside of Creation?  What is so powerful, so precious, so majestic about simply BEING, when as I have previously argued that the dimensions of the unreal far outmatch those limit lines, squiggles and shapes of this three or four dimensional expression of life and breath?  How may the Lord reduce Himself to this simplistic ideal when string theory purports some level of understanding beyond the 27th degree in endless permutation, universes folding into dimension in and out of reality’s limited boundaries?  Are we not the kings who are outside of time, beyond the limits of God’s Creation, living immortal that we might seeks the mysteries of time and tear even the fabric of space bending all to our willful understanding?  Or is it something so simple that in our rush to image ourselves emperor of all we have forgotten that God gave us the secret at introduction?

I AM, is where my power resides, my resemblance to Elohim, God forgive my specious reference and limited understanding of something beyond my own comprehension.  Being is the Secret.  We go to and fro seeking the meaning of life, never finding it for it is right where we previously stood, in being.  LIFE IS ITS OWN MEANING>  The living of this life and the products of that experience are the Raison d’Etre that smart men and women always miss when they are questing through the multidimensional simplicity of their own imagination.  God made it so simple it confounds the wisdom of the Wise for they cannot believe the power of the simple.  But we see it every day when the simple minded, the untalented, the children the poor and the unlikely deliver wisdom beyond the greatest philosopher to date.  For if God refers to Himself as, I AM, then being is our greatest probability of resemblance to His Majesty.  So live your life as if it is the objective not the avenue to an objective.  God so loves you and so do I, In Jesus’ Holy Name.

My ideas, imagination, constructs, philosophies and definitions are all slanted by the perspective regarding the judgments I personally make in my bubble.  How then does any one stand and review circumstances that are so disfavoring to their participants that we collectively, immediately, robustly and resoundingly disassociate ourselves with their actions and proclaim them offensive, vial or dishonorable?  Have we visited collectively to determine those things we find vulgar to humanity, those things deserving reproach and condemnation.  Is it that all are familiar with human moral history to a level that each man and woman makes the similar pronouncements?  What then of a man’s behavior regarding his vow to business, wife, family and king?  When these vows of commitment are violated or betrayed what makes it so clear that we all find it abhorrent?  How is it so rapidly labeled as unacceptable and demeaning behavior worthy of broad condemnation?  Is being honorable built into our superstructure?

Betrayal may not occur without the existence of primary trust.  Trust is a dependence upon a certain agreement or set of ideals leading to a lowering of defenses and allocation of access and assets to the person endowed with this consideration.  When trust is violated by betrayal, uncannily it hurts all of us or we share empathically in its harm.  For nothing is closer to the truth that makes us humans that the choice of those we deem worthy of being within our primary or secondary bubbles through the allocation of trust.  But what makes this such universal understanding?  Are we as ants, bees and other beasts of field who have a DNA, sensory or telepathic code of ethics that may not be violated by anyone with the community?  Perhaps?  Have we all read the same literature and come to a agreed determination that those who violate the oaths of their position or friendship should be banished at least temporarily?  Or are you becoming aware that the Lord placed certain Truths within our memory before birth that we know some things just are wrong and right and other boundaries when violated are especially painful?

Psychologists, philosophers and cosmologists would have you believe behavior is learned and therefore it is the collective indulgence of learning that brings about the transformation of man into something greater than current or previous understanding.  Why then have we always violated those trusts we have with common man of adultery, theft, lying, envy and assault, knowing fully these actions are cause for banishment or dissolution of relations?  Because simply they are so egregious and so painful to our internal mechanisms as they are representative of the sin located within each of us that is abhorrent to our collective understandings given us by God.  Being dishonorable is one of those violations that bruises or damages the senses and limits the possibility and probability or boundaries of further relationships following betrayal or ignoble act.

We crave honorable men and women of virtue, that we might have a clear understanding of the benefits of association or mimicry of such grand minded individuals.  However, when they let us down it is especially problematic for the damage is of a greater permanent nature changing, transforming the ideals providing foundation for our trust.  That is why it is paramount that church members be especially mindful of the vision and review placed upon their actions and behaviors, for in so violating a trust we may turn a person from God.  Additionally, we must sound caution’s message to our own perspective in holding some men or women in honorable regard and the potential that provides when they fall from that glorious perch upon which we have placed them.  All have fallen short of the glory of God, none is righteous, no not one.  All are in need of the Savior, the only saviour Jesus Christ the King.  It is to Jesus we ought look for salvation, lifestyle, behavior and trust as all men will fall short of the paradigms in which they’ve been capture by sin.  Betrayal is painful, Trust is precious, Men betray trusts, God never does.  In God WE Trust is not just some motto it signifies and understanding of the balance between humanity and the Righteousness of God.

Trust God. He alone is worthy of our worship, praise and complete commitment without the diminishing capacity of doubt and worry.  All of Me is Yours My King.  In Jesus’ Holy Name.

Lord please don’t let the darkness of our hearts consume this nation once again.  May the Light of your brilliant love shine through the shrouds and mourning cloths in the observance and death of our obedience to your Commandments.  Awaken hearts to the understanding of our impenitent past and the danger associated with a searing of our hearts to the convicting voice of Spirit.  Lord let us awaken as Nineva with Jonah, confessing our sin, repenting to fast in sack cloth and ashes in the shame of our revealed decadence.  Father, let his nation be revived to the call of your Spirit upon the body that we might turn our hearts, mind, strength, faces and will back to the course and heading you’ve determined for out continued blessing.  May we once again preach the Holy Gospel with Confidence lacking hypocrisy and waxen demeanor.

Father, forgive me for not speaking louder, earlier, more often and clearer in my clarity of purpose for the Kingdom’s Work.  May your Spirit overcome my frailties and may I remain dedicated, obedient and focused for the enduring race before me that I might win by telling all that I meet about Jesus.  Lord allow me to do the impossible in reaching hearts that had been previously set to the norm of their own decadent thinking.  Father allow us as a church body to recover from the edge of the abyss those whose hearts have been darkened, separating them from your love and condemning them to lies abstaining the Truth.  Father let them awake that they might face the coming judgment with clarity that they might make decisions now that effect the outcome and location of their future.  I pray that we as a nation obey and stop trying to impress or avoid your Loving Hand upon us.  Let us be real and in being real, truly love you and the world around us enough to lay down our lives that they might be saved.

Lord Jesus, I weary of these circumstances. I can only imagine the depth of your sadness and remorse at finding them closed to your arrival for offer of salvation.  Lord give me the enduring strength to love them enough to deal with whatever comes my way that they might be saved from the fires to come and the wrath of your inevitable judgment upon all in this world and upon the Fallen.  Forgive us for wavering, wandering and departing from the skinny path. Let us again find our footing and our faithful foundation of a Nation dedicated to Living in a way that Honors the Righteous God who created us and provides all that we ever need, including unquenching Love.  Father we pray to have dedication resembling yours but know now that we have strayed from Your Will and Intention for humanity and this Nation.  Please let us rededicate our selves to the principles and ideals and once again demonstrate our love for you in our obedience to all that you have commanded of Men.  In Your Holy Name I pray Lord Jesus My King.

How do we think that those hearing this information today will perhaps filter it in order to hear the specific information that they have determined is necessary to fortify their imagination?  For in listening there is only one straight forward conclusion portrayed in review, that is this has been a bold faced attempt to over throw this Constitutional Republic with the power and authority given by the People to representatives wearing badges and having sworn specific oaths to defend this nation against the exact actions they themselves have perpetrated upon it.

The Truth has a unique quality in its clarity and reference calling all men to understanding and right action.  It’s clarion capacity rings so loud, so fair, so evenly across the din that no man may evade, hide or deny its crystalline quality.  Yet, there will be those who seek to utilize the snake driven, viperous tongue given them by their Father, the Father of Lies, the Lord rebuke Him if He so chooses.  They will twist the truth, obfuscate, deceive, rewrite, threaten, cajole, black mail and perpetrate ever manner of camouflage within their components to deny the clarity we have clearly heard and seen.  In so doing they may come at you testing your capacity to discern or perhaps say that you heard it incorrectly for they cannot attack the Truth they must work the Lie.  The lie being their unique prostitution of the truth to formulate an imaginary world of understanding, denial and torture of that we all knew to be fact.

We only know that which is fact through our perceptions and knowledge of what it means to be true.  Perhaps there is some measure given us by God that we have a personal truth tester within each of our hearts to discern what is true or false simply by the hearing, taste, sight, touch or smell.  In fact that is what the Lord says that we know what is true about Him, but do we also know what is false in the world or what is true by its clarion nature.  That is also clearly determined within the Book of Romans where God says that He gave us the Law of Moses that we might have mirror for our sin and see that all have fallen short of His expectations and are in need of a savior to be cleansed of this poisonous touch.

What we are seeing is a battle not over the truth but our willingness to accept the truth that we all can clearly hear and see is the Truth or turn away to darkened hearts seeking alternate explanation at which point we will be turned over to our reprobate minds to be further isolated from the will and fellowship of Almighty God.  This has always been a choice, and for those who feel or claim that their sins are somehow genetic then you are confirming the clarity and truth of the Book of Romans as you seek to establish justification through personally designed narrative because the Truth condemns your behavior in reflection of your actions against its clarion observation.  We all know God is there.  What do we think He is feeling about our America this very day?  Do we believe that He is impartially impressed by our wickedness and willingness to obfuscate, deceive and deny truth?  Or do we believe that He sees this as our collective proclamation that we serve His enemies who practice the same?  Do we believe that He will forgive us and allow us to continue in this path of unrighteous behavior and following our own darkened hearts or will He judge us as He has judged every other nation in history who turned their backs on Him?

The facts sing clearly for all to hear the song I am singing.  Return to God in repentance, truth and righteous works demonstrating your fear and Love for Almighty God or suffer the national destruction we all see coming over horizon’s next Hill.  We must make a choice to survive as a nation.  Will You?  In Jesus’ name may He direct your thoughts and actions for the Good of America and all mankind.

It’s not the shine of my little heart, but that my heart becomes much bigger when filled by your Light.  It is apparent that I know very little, have seemingly insufficient character and mannerisms to do the job you’ve given me.  In that clarity I am enriched by faith.  For if I shall achieve that which I cannot personally achieve the only explanation for that makeover gap, surpassing the upper control limits of my personal calculus, IS YOU.  You Are, just as you have described yourself to men throughout the last four millennia.  When I look to you Father I have awe, fear, comfort and some measure of peace just sitting and chatting in your direction.  For I know with astounding clarity that you hear me and notice that I want to obey, I will obey your commands for our lives.

My problems were all either created, fostered or increased by force of magnitude through my own incapacity to deal with circumstance.  Each time I have made decision without addressing what you would have me do I have limited my capacity for fulfillment in time utilization.  My heart shook this morning realizing that I have in my own attempts to jury rig the system or evade the consequences decreased the amount that I might be fulfilled in this life.  However, faith declares that you will use all things for good for those who love you and walk according to your purpose.  This understanding that your indwelling may surpass my/the impossible gives me hope that my machinations and poor decisions along the way may somehow be overcome by your power, authority and indwelling guidance to discernment.

So, feeling alone, simple, underappreciated, deflated, depressed or ignored are all simply guiding emotions meant to deliver me from the reflections of self-inspection to a place where these emotions build my reliance upon your Presence for relief, restructure, retrofit and transformation.  For in each of these emotions I find the lack of abundant life or even prescience and perspective that I was meant for these things in You.  There is nothing negative, nothing positive, those are judgments of my own worldly attempts at life’s mastery.  I don’t need to master life, I just need to keep my eyes on you.  I don’t even need to try that hard just do the things that you’ve written upon my heart and have faith in You.  That makes this life a much simpler animal.  Just as you are, I am, simply being and living and leaving the componentry or concern of completion of efficacy to You.  I am enjoying this life as you’ve said was one of the reasons for your visitation.  Thank you for setting me free.  In Your Precious and Holy Name I pray and live this day.  Jesus Christ the King.

You want the Pastor to march down the road of addressing the sin’s of others.  You want him to be brave, clever and intelligent and bring an argument or deliver an expository sermon condemning those sins that you find objectionable.  You wish that he would elevate particular sins that it would stand in reproach against those collectively embracing their Sin Identity.  We have a mindset that views those who are beyond salvation’s offering hand to detach ourselves from the Loving Responsibility placed upon us as disciples to reach them for repentance and that offering hand.  When we look to sin for identity then we have become trapped by worldly thinking.  A man or woman is not each of their sins but a wonder-full creation of God.  Their sins are actions, a staining that enters and contaminates the soul.  It is not them but the wicked disease with which they have been infested, the humanistic prison within which they are incarcerated for eternity without Christ.

What is your sin identity?  Do you see your self as a Covertor, A thief, An Adulteror?  As Christians we identify with Christ.  That is our identity is found in His reflection, His mannerisms, Holiness, Righteousness, Faith, Truth, Love and Peace.  Once touched by this identity, we no longer look at ourselves through the defective lens of self-recrimination or condemnation for all have fallen short but some have accepted that offer of cleansing Grace and have been transformed.  Yes, transformed, we are no longer what we were but through life being reconditioned, remade, transformed into something other than the limitations of Sin Full Identity allowed.  Our transformation is limitless, just as God is limitless and to hold it to worldly understanding when worldly language possesses not the compunction or depth to describe the invincible, is impaired consideration.

What and who are you now, in Christ?  What is the identity that God alone gives you?  Remember that which is given by Sovereign Hand is in effect sovereign and may not be changed, stolen or transformed by any Hand but His.  Are your self reflections rooted in the impermeable constructs of Almighty God, not pompous but humbly understanding your reflection to His Sovereign Authority?  Do you identify with sin or God, simple question, difficult and complex answers to be found between you and God.  We must look upon the world and the people in this world through the Biblical Lens of God’s coloring.  They are who He believes that they are, “fearfully and wonderfully made”, by God for His Own Good Purpose.  Fornicator, Adulteror, Murderer, Liar is where they are trapped and identified by their inherent and practiced sin.  Won’t you help them find their true identities to be set free from that condemnation that faces all who remain attached to that identification?

In Jesus’ Holy Name.

Funny thing, it is not by my power’s of perceptive analysis or potency at prediction and vision through which I warn the world to “make straight our path for the kingdom of God is coming”.  Perhaps if I were wearing a nice tweed jacket and claiming to be a prophet or discussing Donald Trump then I would enter the realm of respectability or entertainment and they may listen.  Noah warned everyone around him for 120 years and all they could do is tell him he was crazy.  Jeremiah warned the people for forty years and they threw him into a muddy cistern to die alone.  Maybe if they weren’t real prophets and just wrote books or appeared on talk shows and make local book signing events their objective then people would have been  saved having listened to their cries for repentance?

The Lord’s Word tells us emphatically several things, one, all have fallen short of the glory of God, two, the wages of the fall from grace, our sin, is that we earn death. and finally three, none have to pay that debt if they will just surrender to God in belief and receive the gift of forgiveness and salvation through Jesus Christ.  Sorry it doesn’t get any simpler than that message, yet few will listen and most are hesitating thinking that they have unlimited days and days of life through which to put off that decision.  Now, someone told me that I needed to stop being self righteous this week when I told them this story.  I shook my head, not because I didn’t understand, but because I knew that they didn’t.  I am sorry that people will not accept God’s offer of saving Grace, but let us be honest, they didn’t listen to Noah, or Jeremiah and the Bible says that over two hundred million men will march to the valley of Jezreel to fight Jesus when He comes.  Doesn’t look like there is much appetite for prophecy, unless of course it whispers some mystic vision similar to spells of magic that give people the woo woo feeling they desperately need to be entertained.

Those who have bitten and tasted of this false religion of evolution please take a moment and look at the same behaviors by man throughout our shared history regarding the Creator.  Transhumanist’s absent the fossil record to prove something so far fetched in its founding that even its inventor shot holes in his own theory, they will now try to force that evolution through human augmentation, gene manipulation, colliding atoms and socially engineering society through information technology in tandem with pharmakoenetics.  When will we if ever see that these are the same failed actions and deceptions of the fallen throughout history to favor man’s sinful attempt to escape the coming judgment that God promises every man?  Denying our origin or becoming falsely immortal through reviving zombies, uploading our memories to AI robots or perhaps manipulating the genes to inhibit the aging process are ineffective measures to prohibit the inevitable meeting we all have coming with a Holy and Righteous God in Judgment.

Let’s say for a moment I desperately did not want this to be the truth and tried my hardest to convince you that you could free wheel yourself beyond God’s promised outcome’s.  Would that transform the truth of His coming judgment even one iota.  Just as Jonah tried to escape God by turning away and running from Him, which is the message He promised this wicked generation, it is the largest collective and individual fool’s errand of man’s existence.  Almighty God created us, can destroy us or condemn that immortal component of our souls to a void of eternal punishment and we somehow have convinced ourselves of the power to avoid such an end.  God told me to Love you the way that I want to be loved and I would want my Brother to warn me of the coming judgment of all humanity and the means to escape it.  But first and foremost, God has told us what is coming and provided a means to avoid that meeting and achieve something we all want in the process, eternal life with God in a state called Heaven.  He commands me to tell you that you might not have excuse when you meet Him and that I might be found a dutiful son having been obedient to His commands.  I would honesty risk being a disobedient Son and suffering the judgment of God if that would save you from the judgment, but it won’t.

So I know they didn’t listen to Noah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, David, Isaiah and slew many of those sent to them with this same loving message, but I implore you to listen to this poor, under educated, funny looking, American goofball offering the same message of salvation and hope prior to God’s Inevitable Judgment upon us all.  Please won’t you consider surrendering to God and ending the war between you.  Believe on the gift of Grace found only in relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, that you too might escape the immutable, unchangeable Hand of Judgment meant for this disobedient world.  I love you too much not to tell you, prayerfully that somehow His spirit might reach you in your dissenting judgment before His is Here.  In Jesus’ name I pray.

Taking a long, slow, exhaled breath, I ponder what is right and good in this world.  Demonstrably, the dream that we’ve been taught to pursue that of security, pleasure and sustainable asset development has limited efficacy in human fulfillment.  People fighting over dominance in perspective have lit the watch fires for those representing challenging ideas.  That they may be confronted and squashed before given nourishment and fertility of widespread thought.  Fear the controlling order, fear of losing dignity, power, position, life, liberty or simply frightful of being exposed for a vulnerable self-identity, in a world disposed to the grand prize of self-actualization.

Feeling in the light for the peace that is given freely, I bask in its freshness and relief.  Quarrels, quorums, forums, pamphlets, leaflets and media opinion items, offered as the answer to the frailty of spirit and as calm to the impending implosive and episodic climate among men.  What then when none may soundly sleep, fretting, petting the cat in hope of finding action conquering persistent thinking?  Shall we believe upon the good news of a saturated press delivering nightmare after dilemma after disaster after rumor of war in spontaneous combustion?  Where is that place to find some rest among the stars free from the cares and ritual of a world proclivity to entropy, chaos and disorder?  “Searching but not finding, understanding anyway”, as George Benson so aptly sang, that “we’re lost in a masquerade”.

Taking off the mask I stand their in self review, knowing, believing and accepting that the pure waters of life and peace flow from beneath the Throne of God.  This world a reflection of both splendor and worry has been slowly and forcefully overtaken by the quest for self-fulfillment in irony, as the only fulfillment in this life or the next is absent in this plane of concept or physical pursuit.  Works dominate the day as those can do repeatedly reap the reward of a world addicted to achievement, self power and authority exhibited through collection of pecuniary potency.  Are the socially invaluable and unwanted, the smelly poor of some definable and palpable example or purpose?  For if not you would be justified in their termination or submit to the processes of doing, cleaning, making and providing the labor for those with fair portion.  “Beasts of burden”

What then of a man who has all?  How might he be held in close review by the masses who have now found those lacking in need of jurisdiction, indictment and summary judgment?  Additionally, might his peace and love for all be a stern reminder of those lacking in the confident but fragile perspective of a man centered reality and purpose?  And worse yet his contagious capacity to encourage the poor and disenfranchised even those recognizing the inefficacy of current systems to provide human fulfillment, what shall be done to silence his obvious charm whether it be as the Spirit indwelt or some personal power and gifting?  Well, we must find him imprisoned by some violation, whether manufactured or metal, that he might ponder the error in his pursuit and realign intention with the world’s true perspective.

This World is beloved of God, not just the men though we be most precious to Him in resemblance.  The only place from which peace flows freely is from the origin with its maker the Prince of Peace who gives to those who trust Him and lay their burdens before Him in trade.  That peace, that Holy and Mighty Breath that cleanses of worry, concern, outrage, dissent and mercifully fills each believer to overflowing is wondrously Free.  As I view this world I look to the splendor before me as reflection of His Love for Mankind.  Yes, there are truly majestic displays of the gifts of God remaining in the hearts, minds, hopes, strength and the Love of man for each other.  This is the fulfilling indicator of the mastery of surrender, for this has naught to do about works and all to do about making way for the power of an Almighty God who would dwell in the hearts of men, forever.  In Jesus’ Name.
