Indefensible

Is it love to be filled up by my yearning your missing piece in my design? Or is love a gift received in kind to be offered back the same to one who loves me? I am complete having been given love when I least deserved it and better yet the forgiveness for that moment I occupied. I do not receive love out of a demand or yearning but as answer for the natural hope of all men to be with and adore humans. I cannot love you the same as I love my God for He is the one who made each of us. There is no greater love and no way to demonstrate such love without obedience and faith.

Perhaps the greatest gift of obedience is the denial of the love of those with whom I would find comfort and rescue from the sacrifice of Kingdom Work. Yet, that makes no sense as God does not want sacrifice but obedience so love should not be forsaken when found. It is in the yearning and drive to fulfill my own will which acts as obstacle to God’s Holy Work. When Love is right it is with someone equally in love with God and determined to join with another to serve Him perfectly.

Giving of self and unconditional love to those God loves is the greatest gift I may offer the Lord in obedience. Overlooking their circumstance, growth level or piety when offering love is how He views each of us. This may never be translated to mean that He is then condoning the wicked thinking and behavior at the time of offering. No, on the contrary, men of power in the Church Administration will seek to build these false gospel loop holes that they may manipulate these false plateaus or rules to their own aggrandizement.

For example, The Ecumenical Counsel of Churches was present at the Council of Nicea in 324AD when the Catholic Church became a merger of; The Pontifex Maximus (Constantine’s Title) Pagan faithful, the Christians having been invited to eat at the King’s Table and the Askenazi Jews formed in 321AD. Why was there a council of churches making decisions for the Church when Christ alone is head? Why was this same counsel present at the 1893 World Exposition of Columbia in Chicago discussing the formation of a one world church, then again instrumental in completing the formation in 1993, one hundred years later?

We must be careful that those elements of this world will always seek to insert themselves between the People and God, even knowing that the veil was torn forever when Jesus died on the Cross. We must be sober in love to offer it that none many interfere in this perfect expression of our likeness to God. Love is indefensible, a most powerful weapon as with faith is hated by all God’s Enemies seeking foothold to intervene. We therefore must offer love in purity and communion with God’s Holy Spirit, not born of emotional compelling or lust as these catalysts are trojan horse for worldliness and separation.

I do not yearn for this world but for God. I do not yearn to be with my Brethren but am joint heirs of the power God has given that we may be ambassadors of Christ. My Love for them is a kinship born of our desire to be with and like God. We are unified in His Glory and Love a gift that transcends the offerings of this world. Yes, I dream of love and adoration as the imaginations of my heart, but the heart is desperately wicked and God says that He alone knows it. I offer the Love of God to all, those who accept find Him and then may choose to return the gift He allowed me in offering. But free will bids that it is always choice as nothing happens without first being decided. That is freedom and accountability in one. For none may claim excuse having made themselves a recipient of God’s Love and a regifter of the same.

Truth

Are my deliverables consistent with my intention, my review of the outcomes and above all achieving what God wants through my gifting, efforts and time? Do people see the Spiritual Objectives in God’s read or studied Word? Is what I am doing consistent with what God commands me to produce or am I viewing it through a lens of my own projection? Are people ready for God’s timing, steady in their identity and prepared to take action when God’s timing is indicated? Do they all understand the Lamp Filling of the Oil of the Holy Spirit and are they mindful/urgent in watching for God’s arrival? Should I care if people do not view me in powerful light when all God’s objectives are being fulfilled?

What have I left behind, what have I undertaken, who is critical of my best efforts especially when they have an alternative or differing view of intentions and outcomes when polled? What has God told me to do and are the concerns of those in the Body overriding what God’s has commanded as they are emotionally cautious of the dangers to my person or my comfort? Do I owe a duty to those of Christ’s Body to appear blessed and fully cared for when the commands God has given lead me into battle scenarios where comfort is unexpected at best? Can I be true to the will of my family/friends when it is incongruent, inconsistent or in direct contention with God’s Direction?

Am I worried that people will not achieve God’s objectives knowing fully that all will be provided for, taught and guided by His Perfect Spirit? If so, what is the origin of the doubt in God’s promise? Is this unbelief or simply not knowing or respecting God’s Fully? Am I working my own salvation in fear and trembling as God directs or am I more concerned about how other people view that salvation in strength to sponsor their growth? Who am I dependent on Self or Spirit? How am I denying, Quenching or inhibiting/promoting the Holy Spirit’s power in my walk?

Have I become what God intended me to be? Is the Spirit’s transformation evident and are the changes that have been made consistent with evidence of the Holy Spirit’s Fruit in every undertaking? Are people investing in the ministry out of free will, a sense of belonging or a joy of giving to what God is doing through each of them? Do the men lead as God commanded and designed them? Are the women encouragers, confident and consistent in their relationships with God, their Families and the Body? Are body members employing all their heart mind soul and strength in love for God to see His objectives fulfilled through them and all around them? Are the body members confident disciples for Christ who accept and believe upon the Power of Spirit to do the impossible through them? Are the ministry objectives the Holy Spirit’s objectives or are they human contrived and powered efforts to do what they think they should be doing? Are changes made when the Holy Spirit directs or ignored to quench him back into silence?

What is the world doing in this body? Are they joining or keeping distance, knowing fully that infiltration would be extremely difficult without maturity, relationship and authentic Grace? Are those who have yet to decide seeking out members of this body or vise versa? What ministry efforts are being undertaken and are they sponsored by voluntary desire to please and not displease the Father? How are the marriages in the body? Do they reflect a mature agreement to live by the Word of God? Are people seeking trials in joy or are they musing about the circumstances, pitfalls and dangers of the life they are leading in the world? Do they feel grateful to be challenged or do they feel victim? Is evidence of their salvation clear as well as the joyful desire to seek the next thing God has in store for them? Are they tired or filled with joy and excitement for the Glorious Appearing? Are they looking forward and readying themselves and their family for Christ’s return?

Is the faithful gathering of all that is in Christ Jesus the main focus of every willing heart? Are we believing especially when it is nearly impossible to see the path forward through the chaos and maelstrom of this world? Are we believing in, seeking and achieving the impossible through the Spirit’s use of each of us and the body as Ambassador’s? What is changing around us especially when we are out of energy, talent and treasure? Is God using us to do the impossible things because we believe that He will? Is my Family and the world gravitating even in a concealed fashion to what is being said in this body, seeing something truly peculiar and attractive? Are they turned off by what is going on? If Christ told us we had six months’ time left, would we use every moment for His Kingdom or make excuses to Him at our meeting? How many of this body will be glad to stand in front of Jesus giving account and how many will dread it? How many look forward to being humble with Jesus and how many want to extend their worldly existence?

The Basis

Discounting the elements of change that I have to offer this transformative world. This is not my show, however I as everyone else am a contributing member of this creation God has given. Do not be fooled by those who would have us silent. Hearing each opinion, each of us grappling with the wrestling match of the world’s shaping, is frankly the purpose of those who would share love. Each heart, every mind, even those we find repugnant matter to the Maker. Therefore, to love as He has loved us requires, demands the capacity to subjugate our own bias/prejudice in order to offer love and grace to all.

Most would have me war against those I find distasteful, pronouncing them beyond God’s offering of Hope and rebirth. That however denies the Promises of a God and His Word which state that He is no respecter of persons, finding all the same in the Love of a Fair, forgiving Father. Denying myself forces me to let go of my own muses, misgivings, grudges and color commentary on people groups to see all through the same eyes of God’s Will for Humanity. This is freedom through service to a God and His commandments, direction and imagination which is forever greater than my own.

This realization and the incumbent influences upon my heart demand that I also maintain and improve my capacity to see that each has perspective. That individual framing and parameters of “Reality” mold, guide and unfortunately limit the liberty to see things in a new or different focus. Often searching hearts, listening to testimony offers the only avenue to understanding a particular focus so that it may deliver insight and subsequent opportunity for counsel or assistance. I cannot go into a conversation with predetermined actions or expectations for in so doing I am limiting my own capacity to see each unique situation and hear from God the answers to those often rare, unexpected influences.

This is the Power of God in the Body of Christ; That we are made safe in His imputed Righteous, Hope, Peace, salvation, Truth and Word. Being courageous often depends fully upon the ability or perceived capacity to weather the storm or stand the onslaught of enemy artillery. In Christ we find more than this. We not only may stand in Good Courage, knowing ourselves impervious to enemy approach, we find within us His Holy Spirit that Created all things, knows all things and controls/has defeated any of the enemies against whom we are expected or volunteer to stand. There is NOTHING outside of God’s Scope of understanding, authority, precognition and Dominion. Mankind losing the imputed authority given to Adam and lost by him and Eve, was not a disaster for God but the exact opportunity through which to inject His Son for our salvation.

Without Friction there is no polished result. Without calamity there is no cry to God for assistance, deliverance and salvation. Without Conflict there is no discussion to resolve the internal differences or resolve potential difficulties. Without Hope there is no increase of Faith and without Faith there is no Trust or Love for God. Without Death there can be no reward of Eternal Life. Having had its power removed governing the lives of men who accept Grace, we find its overcoming. It is natural in these understandings to rest upon the differences of perspective as the progenitors or influences of Choice. Knowing that each person will invariably choose based upon their belief, we must leave space, range and patience of time/reflection for them to embrace upon the consequence of that choice. May God receive all Glory, Honor, Worship and Fealty for each decision made or counsel offered. In Jesus Name, the basis of My Hope.

Loosed

Hurling across the universe at a parsec beyond light. Always thought I’d win the war but never had to fight. Sped headlong toward eternity, facing mercy armed with grace. The joy of daily troubles forgotten in this endless space.

The pious and the chastened are stretched beyond retort. The enemies poke fun at me as if only meant in sport. Wiggling room and cleverness, forgotten with the shame. Often well convicted riven by the endless shame.

Fear a non-contender having been left upon the pier. The whisper once forgotten got a grip of my inner ear. The atrocious and the savory envisaged in one mind. Never failed to come upon the things I was meant to find.

Lost in my surrender, left behind with me. From prison and poor thinking, invariably set free. Contained in understanding, remiss in mischief’s plight. A pinhole of bright wonder sliced through embrace of silken night.

Leave me to judicious rhymes and rhetoric of hope. The artist and the barrister argue legality and scope. If you would be where we were meant to be supposedly in fate. Just in time for love opined to be fueled beyond the hate.

Sacrifice superficial and obedience forgot. We had to dust up principles and offer the whole lot. Seldom experimental and challenged by ideas. To traipse across the vacuum propelled and fostered by fair seas.

The Gap

Does Dastardly begin within my own heart? Do the resounding arms of evil move through my best intention, self-justifying to keep myself free from the weight of causality? Am I my and the worlds’ worst enemy? Am I the ticking time bomb of prideful discoloration as my perspective paints all in swaths of red, black, yellow and gray? These are not the times to stand the field of battle only to fall upon unsheathed sword of personal power and protection. These are the days of fealty, faith and predicaments in power beyond my own capacity.

I have tasted the despicable nature of my own heart’s desirous implication. Calculating all effect within parameters of my own fulfillment, taking careful disregard of the need of those around me. That having been stated, there is freedom to be found when finding liberty outside the boxes of self-service and rebellion. The confidence of knowing the voice that is followed belongs to the one who gave us life, sets those in that understanding apart from the animalistic or brute beast proclivities of mankind. The difficulty then resides in not judging them from action’s potential, but by fruits delivered.

I have seen war and the unsavory cravings of man to feed upon the innocent in a quest of consummation. Evil is no surprise though its flippant treatment of the precious will shock those finding creation a gifting. I will not stand by in the allowance of torture of the innocent, feeble or to those of measured years. We must make statements in our choices and defending life is the greatest of these offerings. What is a man who allows the precious spongelike nature of youthful exuberance to become prostitute in observance? What is a man who collects regret instead of standing against the usurpations of wickedness?

When do my paragraphs, descriptions, explanations and definitions stop beginning with I? Where are the origins of my thinking if not emanating and perpetuating the hungers of my own aggrandizement? What is transformation when held outside ideology, rather consistent with doctrine and mystical, miracle of superior reprogramming? How did I get here if I was incapable of defining or getting here in the first place? Realization is something beyond self. The Palpable understanding of mysteries beyond conjugation. What then is grace when held through insufficient perspective or outside the field of cognition? It is parable without requisite insight.

The ticking clock

No time for relaxation, the subject being love. Work to tell the story how once is not enough. When rhyme isn’t reason and time escapes the season. Too far round the corner to see where we’ve started and find out together, we’re all broken hearted. In peace play the marches where the battle once started. And dreams taught us laughter to feed ever after to the sound of hearts beating in tandem through time.

Words our element, speech being temporary explanation, betrayal inevitable. When rhyme and time mismatched leave us breathless and alone. Cold, granular to the bone. In the heart of esteem, we scream for fear of laughter at moment’s pause. The clause repeats as the sand defeats all aspects of morally challenged crimes. When education drops dimes on wisdom resolve dismembered.

Brief accolade, shadows fade into the occlusion. An illusion to pray false memories from a dope who can’t cope. The scope and depth so precise it’s nice to wander randomly slow. The snow is swept aside as the white adorned bride, with nothing to hide from the groom at her side. Above the chasm of unrequited love, a lonesome, powerful dove alighting upon the shoulder for who time was formed. Stormed onto scene and dimension with millennial intention. We dreamt unkempt with clothes misaligned in the foyer we dined never failing to angle our laces with no social graces and smirks on our faces. Peace begets us as it forces the age to forget.

Honorable mention, inclining our souls to the drops of omnipotent meanderings. As if any or many may dabble in rabble and babble cadabra. Doors slung wide revealing the promise and pain deep inside. The halls of forgotten whispers filled with lispers and saints free of restraints. The mosaic it paints in swath on the floor depicting the poor and monarch entombed by quick hardened stone, left alone underground our thoughts rithe in question which of us was found?

Steadfast

There is no greater requirement for trust then consistency. For men to anticipate and rely upon a person’s character it is not charm, mercy or strength that they seek, but enduring reliability. That is why in our duty as men and the observance of Faith that the Holy Spirit is always referred to as Earnest or Steadfast. For the quality of a Good Shepherd or King depends specifically upon the surety and certainty of performance during crucial moments. That knowledge and dependence may never waver if a man, King or Troop are to observe the confidence of men beneath them or in service and reliance upon promise of such participation. We will never trust that which does not support our weakness during time of trial.

In my walk this characteristic most closely aligns me with the Work of the Holy Spirit. For people look to a shepherd, their shepherd for defense, provision, protection and direction primarily when decisions must be made or obstacles traversed. There is no more damaging plunge of personal reliance then to be found missing when needs arise. Thus, to begin in our pursuit of mirror likeness to God we must become absolutely reliable to those who deem us Trustworthy. Failure to perform or even be found accountability in time of trial will damage the fragile and squeamish dependence of people upon their shepherd, master or defensive Marshal.

Why is the Holy Spirit so filled with Power? It is that steadfast nature of God’s Spirit that makes it so incredibly powerful. Never an excuse, never an absence, never an unfulfilled promise, direction or supply. Faithful beyond our personal expectation, the Holy Spirit is so tremendously steadfast that He exceeds all expectation and arrives precisely on time, often arriving in anticipation of difficulty or need. He is the guarantee of our Rebirth in Christ, the sign and seal of our salvation, the physical manifestation of Promises Made by God through Christ Jesus. A certain, sure, faithful Spirit who never fails, is never late and most often exceeds any reasonable expectation of sheep and fold.

Anticipate questions to my anointed authority. For all must make a choice as to whom they trust and obey. That choice is the rudiment of rebellion to the Word, Promise and direction from the King. His desire alone matters. A shepherd, privileged to speak that Word or offer assistance is offering that same assistance of the Holy Spirit as if originating from source. Speaking slowly in Wisdom, given by God a man of God shall not find upset in the refusal of his offering. God alone is judge, but rebellion to the anointed is aimed at God’s Messenger and all things are in God’s Domain. Do not offer off hand slander, praise or curse believing that it shall not come before inspection of God.

Being consistent in content and delivery manifests trust within the Faithful heart. Living in consideration and review of all mannerisms and performance through similitude and likeness to Almighty allows a certain leeway and lack of doubt. One walking in the Will of God fully apprised of the convictions or commendations of the Holy Spirit, may walk in such a way as to know His Righteousness. When walking in such a way as to welcome fear and trembling at the Awesome Hand of God, we may rest assured in cooperation with His Will. Those who refuse to recognize the messenger bearing the righteous message, not opinion, false doctrine or mockery of the King ought to heed that message. But all remains Choice in the Love and Grace of God’s salvation for mankind. Even the devout believer may walk away from God, quenching the Holy Spirit in blasphemy and shame, for it was freely offered and accepted.

If a stone or tree spoke the Correct Gospel to passer’s bye. Would that tree or stone be disrespected or cherished? Would those vessels of God’s Merciful Word be resisted or accepted immediately as the miracles they appeared? Who feared the rage of the King for the prophets yet Killed and martyred? Why then do we doubt the men God has sent for our provision and encouragement. Yes, test the Spirits, yes be Barean and search the Word to measure that veracity. But do not disrespect or stone the messenger’s of Christ’s Gospel simply because you have the spirit of rebellion residing deep with your wounded heart. Certainly if false they must be called out and avoided, but the True, imbued by the righteousness of God ought be held in close regard as servants of the King. In Jesus name.

When

Efforts and outcomes are not specifically designed to benefit oneself. To what end or in what name have we come to achieve them? For King or continent resolved became to deliver those things which benefit the common good or all. How freeing and absent regret the ideas of service present themselves.

There is no sweeter nor more respected position then a man standing for friend and family. What then of those who give themselves to feed the unnamed or unknown? How then are men judged for protecting the feeble, hateful and indigent? Love is never consistent when offered simply to those of good regard or payment ability.

To sing, write, dance or fight for the mouths of the unfed eschewing one penny of self-edification is the greatest self-edification available. Helping the community to deal with crime, deterioration of assets and raising children, in safe measure, are some of the least rewarded yet most needed efforts in township. Why aren’t mayors picking up trash to set example? Why aren’t politicians leading school, street and life rebuilding projects to demonstrate the volunteerism that made America clean and safe?

These are not the days of self-fulfillment but the moments where the glues that bind society must be applied with caution and intent. I get it we all want to be king of everything. I understand that you are being callous because you have relegated yourself to self-gratification in the shadow of threats upon all people. I get it that in self-defense you have stated, “I got mine and yours just don’t matter”. This is the path to rapid and certain destruction and erosion of anything that found your nation safe and good.

If it is reconditioning or re-education that your remand, then start with the ideals of the Good of the Nation or the Common Good especially in common law? We have learned the wrong things in life and those who wish to repair this deficiency must not be labeled the bad guys or miscreants when in fact they are the answer to the ills that befall all of US. If you refuse to serve yourself, you will most often find that the good that you’ve done for all in fact benefits you in time. Teach the Sovereignty and the Grace of God Almighty as His Love is offered as all love is issued with Choice. Not the misuse of the eradication of the unborn which is a fallacy of mega proportion but the understanding that Freedom always begins with a choice. Among which Love is the greatest gift given that demands an acceptance or refusal by the party offered.

Reverence

Disaster’s trigger. Regret with no cause or consideration of repentance or remorse. Standing upon the foundation of my pride. Allied with my own unwilling, immeasurable heart and certainty. Calculating in my head the prisons, pedestrians and prayers essential in eradication of resistance. Wanton in perpetuity. Never content in the moment or everlasting. Disregarding the Edicts of God’s Controls upon Creation.

Evidence: Compliance with command and Word first learned. Peace especially when anger and hate seek response. Love as a superior tool in communication, relationship and healing. Believing that my ideas are somehow paramount having been manufactured by the supreme race of me. Health, wealth and contentment as a direct result of good relationship and listening to God’s Direction. Seeking anything first by consultation and listening in the Throne Room of Almighty. Daily, confessing, discussing, apologizing for and redirecting efforts to not repeating the mistakes of today when tomorrow arrives. Forgiving everyone ALWAYS.

What fruit is born should be of superior shape, smell, taste and texture. Outcomes should be ignored, only anticipating or reporting upon those of God’s Own Proclamation. Spirit should be respected, inquired, appreciated and followed as I step aside to allow superior force, love and thinking to handle the impossible. The enemy should not be feared but remain an indication of insufficiently protected avenues of approach or self-pursued lusts that may lead to sin and death. Expectations are irrelevant except as an indication of continued reliance or participation in the flesh by a being who should not be deceived into such relation. Judgment of others remains clear notice that forgiveness will be the next sacrifice of my own perspective. Love is love not thinking, planning or good advice.

Mistakes are learning after the opportunity to prevail has passed. Endurance is the name of this game. today is the day where yesterday no longer matters and tomorrow is unsettled logic. When is determined by Him, how is clearly explained, what shall become is yet to be seen and why is because He loved us before we were made. Mysteries are not for worship but epiphany in planting further footfalls. The only part that matters is the part where you come together in likeminded Spirit to achieve the miraculous through prayer, Love and the courage to stand throughout challenge. None of my opinion impacts this journey except where I make my wishes known to the God I love and Trust that He may temper my heart and mind.

Hear me Oh God

Father God, this painful heart cries out to you for restoration and joy. Lord, I do not shy from testing, nor would I relinquish one moment of the sanctification found in this crucible of life. Though Lord this world threatens, cajoles and simply put hurts as it seeks to leave me in misery, defeated. My life is victory in promise, yes, the rose of understanding, the fragrance of the fight finished. My God, oh my loving Lord, the pain shapes and equips, making me ready for the next opportunity to seek your Glory. Let me gain from each stretching of my heart strings in passions challenged and debt’s released. May I befriend mercy and grace at each breath’s leaving.

I heard Jesus cry for the sheep and I knew Him my God as He could not bear the wounds before Him. These disobedient seek the weakest among us to batter and better, through quest for Dominion. Lord they hate the little ones, those with many years and the frail among us, to the point of wanting their lives. Lord, is this heart made to sustain the pain I have watched those around me receive? Will it give out at the next mention of child’s torturous moments? When will I find rest, when will these eyes be freed of damage to the innocent? When oh, my Loving Father will I be able to put down this hand to keep from breaking? I want no rest when others cannot find safety as I stand ready.

Lord, I love you and it hurts to love them and receive threat, challenge and curse in exchange. The suffering reminds me of my kinship. These things I must embrace as they mean the trials of this world are remaking me in Your image. That knowledge equips me to resist any attempted surrender. There is no place for me here but in your guidance, no home for me but carrying you within my heart, no family among men but to be serving with my brethren. No place that I would hide as to do so misses the opportunity to stand in Good Courage declaring your Word of Wonder. You are my supply, my sustenance and hope. You are my strength and song, the words that give life to my eternity.
