Ready

So thankful for the breaths in between. Letting the cool breeze of distant vales pass along the silhouette of my out-curved ear. Arriving distant or silent in the elastic moment without expectation of umbrage. We are not the royal few contesting previous mandate’s revision. We are the welcome youth of new Dodge. Enthralled by all the pistolero’s we found along the path. And the niceties we delivered to those who found nothing but anger in their cart.

Thespian delivery, failing to capture the timing in moments but long delays and promised pause. Where from here shall a sullen man escape? What form of relief do the proud offer the hungry? What sloped stairway do we ascend that leads to the promises of heaven’s grace? What timely retreat does a man find ready when seeking a smidgen of success? In brief contemplation perhaps the beach was too far and the bridge too narrow for presumption.

So I aligned with the winged few. The bravest among the many who could accept the charge d’affaires preferring to summit before relief accepted. So we jumped the precipice and dreamt of tomorrow finding comfort from those things along this highway. Not knowing anyone from the jilted escort we thought ourselves hopeless in the middle of sparse roadways. To sleep and escape reason or upset we alerted the guests to checkout.

Thank you for the double barrelled answer. Our pretense was dismissed. Aghast at the revision of my past I new found confidence in provision. Silence is often the best measure of damaged hearts and abhorrent weather. Into the realm of peaceful praise and slumber we slid down the sandy slope, seeking soft landing and met expectation before leaving for the wonder. At heart we were dumbstruck and delivered. Into the smoky east we walked adept.

Sense

My eyes, this heart in league with enemy forces. Divulging internal compunction and revealing the porous nature of human conditioning. What fake fealty presumes to lead the deception? The honesty found in uncovering. Catalyst is not identification unless left to metastasize, decay or assimilate into persona. We are corrected or fail sans maintenance.

Why does it break? That it may be fixed or pass into irrelevance. If plastic or born of unforgiveness relegated to poisons within the soil and heart. I wish that I were immortal and free of mistake and pretense, but that is the soul of transformation. There must be dense matter and spirit, provoked by experience and interaction with gases, earth and catalyst. Then abrasive relationship with the universe shapes, binds, converts and awakens. To see the face of God within.

What governs the intake? What control manages receptors to divide the prime from the useless? What aperture the eye to filter that which is dangerous in seeing? No filters but the faith or intention. If I see it I become it. Challenging this statement we are left with the nature of our helplessness against evil. Without a presumptive understanding that protection may be acquired both externally and internally we are bereft of alternative. There is comfort in salvation from dominion.

Who leaps to defend the innocent not against tyranny but against prostitution of its inherent and exceptional beauty? What of the purity of my heart? Is there salvation for that which has been tainted, spoiled left to rot in the burning desires of man’s wicked leading? Yes, as all things heat makes it pure, no antidote but the burning fire of Spirit to rive the good from wicked. In the crucible things are made new, purified, sanctified in the approbating rebirth of master craft-work and metallurgy. What becomes of the renewed thing in man?

Turn me loose and I will be spoiled by the leadership of my own understanding, heart and defunct thinking, need or purpose. My eyes way too wide to control that which intrudes and is stored to be used against me from deep within the well of memory, fear and anger. Oh, Lord that I would be made anew, cleansed and remade without the unfiltered charge of my own light brigade in foolishness. Take it from me. It being that which I should not have, a thing that may only be seen or perceived through the eyes of your foundation. For I must compare my reality against the rock to see congruence or departure.

My ears scan the nonsense, the inspired and the malignant yet are fawn to its intelligence and application. What hand should remove that mean spirited shouting of my youth and ignorance? What eraser separate the intimidation and fear from the mere hearing? What slate to start again free from causality, pain and words used as hammers against doves? How are we to find peace in silence with the World screaming in perpetuity? What shield shall govern contempt in reason or paralysis in fearful adaptation? What of God helps me to shut out the unwanted when a model presented?

If each touch made in love then the fear of interaction removed as the intended becomes the assured. What youth adorned in promise? What shelter found in embrace? What dream realized in comfort, gesture or encouraging shoulder pat? Who then would remain poisoned in the pursuit of perfection, but those who have chosen the journey of wickedness? If only the world and my vulnerabilities were determined simply in choice and not so inalienably defined by the violence upon me. Oh, that this world would pass away, leaving children to their fancy, guided by the goodness of God, protecting all that would otherwise be wasted.

Counsel

Always time for a new venture, quest or picnic along the journey. So many smiles, pain, cures and prayers. When the downs become ups it is never time to go sideways, but push on. Though history shouts loudly, leave to its refined wisdom and sally onward to application of its gift of learning. Experience is the one we never count on or teach, that somehow things get easier, more difficult, brighter or duller when we’re put upon. It is always the reaction or overreaction that makes the cop write the ticket. When good or bad are simply perspectives not judgments, then things naturally begin to coalesce around a natural response.

I work for God, I am not even one of His important people, just a man who knows God has the answers, provision, protection and promises that I lack in simplicity or ignorance. When you need food you go where you know something’s cooking. This is not a plight but an opportunity. You are not my enemy or someone lesser, lost or dreaming, but a potential, Brother, Sister or Friend. A dull whit does not mean that you don’t have good joy, comedy or a loving heart. Most things are mutually exclusive as you will find evil men in positions that possess great opportunity to applied mercy, hope and compassion. Those with humble and righteous hearts often give from abundance in scarcity while those with stockpiles guard them.

Sitting here on my own version of the planet, hoping that rings align, skies are clear and the temperature only fluctuates between just right and warm and cozy. But that is not how the universe is designed. Walking or running uphill with multiple burdens is naturally difficult. Trying to satiate hunger without available sustenance is not impossible. Doing without may be trying but in many measures it builds gratitude, contentment and character unavailable for the powerful and well provisioned. I don’t mind having enough but given too much the true joy begins, spreading the wealth around. Not being told by government to do or having goods taken from me but appreciating the chance to love people in true faithful demonstration of the command God gave Peter. These people after all were created by God and if I am given too much then it is naturally my duty to make sure they have a sufficiency. Nothing pleases me more than seeing a man, woman or child lose hunger, poverty, fear and doubt all in the same sitting.

Aware and prepare

Conscious discussion demands and elicits an honest review of the circumstances in the light of victory. The subsequent conversation to identify prayerful avenues and efforts is paramount to application, execution and achievement of strategic and tactical objectives. All must be founded, grounded and guided in Spiritual Sight allowing for appropriate direction/action consistent with Divine Prudence. Failure to establish as foundation any operation outside of sober minded discussion, meditation and review reflective of Heavenly navigation results in degrees of departure from the skinny path before us. When we have firmly established a collective commitment to reaching God’s objectives in timely manner then reason must be applied at each juncture, not as fearful influence but grounded understanding. Always observing the flexible understanding that the Mind of Christ may reveal truths through the Holy Spirit that transform mortal conviction and certainty.

To achieve and maintain an avenue and culture of sober reflection, absorption and determinate guidance all involved must mature in the active/effective use of emotion and logic to produce balanced solutions. The chaos produced in drunken understanding and emotional or over logical analysis consistently lead the faithful into rash or paralytic discussion, decision and action. Therefore, to govern ourselves/oneself we must develop elaborate and focused tool usage to discuss or avoid those situations incondusive to a well developed and nurtured cultural mastery of analysis and action. We must commit ourselves to wakeful insight and reporting internally before God and within conflict resolution teams in the Body. Failure to develop an sober standard for information review and discussion will result in processes outside the order consistent with our God’s character. These days of active and abundant deception further impart a conscious and sober commitment to all the thinking, prayer and discussion the Body must invariably observe.

We do not consciously expect that every tree will bear the righteous fruits and sweet nectar’s, but instead embracing prophetic understanding realize the truth of the world that confronts each of us. This is an era of great division along the diving line of our Messiah and King the Lord Jesus Christ. The free will granted in offer of Grace for all time separates our history and decision to those making sober and conscious choice consistent with Godly obedience or departure/those indifferent to the weight of spiritual gravity upon humanity. The period of decision is upon all men, regardless of desire or indifference. It is appointed unto all men once to die and then the judgment as the Bible says. Therefore that judgment and its impending accountability for the beliefs, thoughts and actions of this life are the reminder to each man that a decision must be made before the entirety of life’s facets is used in the sober judgement for or against each of us. In conclusion, without an essential decision for or against Christ the consequent protections or vulnerabilities associated with a completed life will be established whether or not we obey the command to decide. In keeping with this sober mindset we then as a body are wise to develop collective approach to acknowledging God, reviewing circumstance and committing our minds to the transformative hand of God upon the Body that we may inevitably remain free of the deceptive impacts of mortality.

US

A short time ago. Lying back I looked to the skies. And simply was. These moments were short and sweetly contemplated. As I held your hand and dreamed of better things. We prayed about love and reason, walking hand upon hand contagious in the days before us.

No separation, facing eternity with promise. Knowing that these days we have are so very important. If not for me. Then for the those who have still forgotten. Painting signs with smiles, flowers and the dogs that never leave us. We often fell to hope a stable embrace.

There is no us without consent or compromise. Someone must make the needs of the needy more important than the hoarding. In consequence, the power of the pitiful rises up to become useful to the many. Into intention we walked not suddenly but in logical planning.

Not simply dreams or words that build tomorrow. The truncheon and the chain are cement of expectation. No farms planted without early rise and infrequent slumber for planning only for today neglects winter’s arrival. We are compelled in sensibility to design things that last.

If not forever than way past the emergence of new life and mouth’s so empty. Fathom’s measured to avoid the obstacles and fear. No calculus or worry in sufficient trajectory and power. We find that me becomes we and then us as we share a projection for afternoon.

MAY IT BE SO

If you are not brilliant is there any hope of making a difference in this world? If you have little talent or energy, perhaps you are late in years, is there any dream of positive and memorable impact for your town, city, state or country? If you have no family or are impoverished and have little means do you doubt your value in changing things for the better? Of course, when I look upon my own deficient position, talents, treasure and imagination, I too am faced with the reality of potential impotence for good. All these things have one common theme that allows them to control our minds and hearts, they rely upon our ability and not upon God’s.

When I was saved, I was transformed. When I was washed clean, I was forgiven and made new. When I was sealed by God’s Holy Spirit, I was renewed, transformed and filled with all the Power that created the universe. When I was called Son by the Father I was adopted into the Family of God, joint heir with Christ Jesus. When I was set right with God, I was made whole, in right standing covered by the righteousness of Jesus Himself. When I was filled with the Holy Spirit, I was sealed for eternity, allowed and empowered to be called a Son of God and given unending power to stand in courage upon the Gospel Promises of God. I am a new creature, made to bring honor and glory to God through my stand in this life.

Now, that my doubt has diminished and my faith made strong through the repeated trials and God’s Faithful support. I no longer look upon my inadequacy as a negative criteria in success, but a marvelous, pregnant moment for people to see God’s Power used through me. Not to my elevation or increase but as a vessel of God’s Love, Grace and righteous authority to change hearts and reflect His Omniscience and Omnipresence to a world that has been left to believe that it all depends upon them. They have been trained to believe that they are alone and must accumulate money, power and self-importance socially or be forever pronounced and labeled in that false impotence of mankind’s thinking. The lie lost its strength and power to control us when we first found grace.

Now I glory in what the King has done and the greater things that He will do through me and My Brothers/Sisters in Christ Jesus. Now I confidently climb the treacherous roads before me and walk with faith and courage through the valley of the shadow of death and evil. Not to find my name written or proclaimed by Men having deemed me potent, but being a recognized servant of the King of Kings. My treasures are in heaven stored up waiting upon me and there is not doubt of the outcome whether I die in struggle or live out a peaceful, useful and humble life. For I am a child of the King and none of the labels properly associated with the man I once was now apply. I will do miracles or more correctly He will do those miracles through this man, His ambassador, pylon, vessel in this world. My navigator is God, My love is God, My Power the Spirit and My King, King Jesus, the Lord of Lords. His reign is forever and began before time itself.

May this life bring Him all the glory He deserves and may people see a powerless man do miracles that may only be seen as the origins of God. In Jesus Holy name.

Exercising Free Will

How I view it is how I do it. What I believe governs that which I may achieve. Platitudes and attitudes aside, we are arriving at the end or new beginning. Yet no one is discussing our approach to the falls, nor are they trying to turn the vessel, they simply continue to shout about their differing opinions, objectives and policies. It is time to take action and yet we stand and remain in discussion moving around furniture on deck. I am not concerned with your hate for me as much as your total focus upon that issue and ignorance of our vessel about to launch from horizontal to vertical.

Mankind has had its time to determine for or against God’s Plan. It is logical that we are approaching the end of the free will opt in known as the end of the time of the gentiles. God must and will shortly refocus upon His Covenant with the Nation of Israel, having allowed the mystery of Grace in the Church to live out nearly two thousand years. We after all are given life as an extension of God’s Will and Love. To continue in an disobedient state either personally or as a nation at some point must be construed as having made a decision against God’s offer or Salvation, Reconciliation and Everlasting Life. This is my greatest concentration of the ministry, as nothing matters more than educating, encouraging and assisting folks to make the decision before the coming Wrath and Tribulation.

What I am finding is that Christians are luke warm, keeping one foot in the boat and the other on land to assure themselves of a last minute decision dependent upon what actually occurs in the world and in the heavens. This is the height of frivolity and mockery of God. This I believe is why Jesus includes the luke warm church with the cold church at Judgment. For this indifference to the commands, direction and absolute clarity of God’s Prophetic Word is tantamount to blasphemy. I am not angry at church parishioners or critical of them for each of us has equal opportunity to demonstrate our love for the Father in our obedience. Choosing not to express your faith or obedience is after all Free Will the gift He gave every human. I pray for them but I will neither chase them or smack the rock with my staff to get their attention. Do what you will, even if it is pursue your own will.

Gradual

What is peace if it calms not the raging waters of the lake? Must worry, concern and anxiety consistently reign that there is no quiet, grounding or silence of soul and Spirit? What forms out of sleeplessness and perpetual ponder? What broad boulevard of intimidation resolves the conflicts with humankind? How settled the delta as river regurgitates into grumbling bay?

My words are freshened only by finding footing upon the Rock. Yes, the Rock of Ages: God, Jesus and Holy Spirit. One of them residing in the Temple He erected upon the Cross of Calvary, the home of God’s Spirit the heart of born again man. Born to what, war, rage, festering wound? No born to the understanding and promise of heaven’s order, God’s peace in Christ Jesus. The Prince who came that I may find rest in the midst of raging sea or calm heart in war.

When Christian’s rage I know that something is wrong. Something is out of sync with God. The relationship is neither nurturing or peaceful but filled with the worries and cares of this world. It is the outcome taught in the parable of the sower that the thistles and thorns of this world have come in to strangle that which has grown. We seek the supernatural not the normal and everyday. This is transformative, we become something born of spirit.

How may I know that this process includes me? The Lord says I am known by the fruits of the Holy Spirit and their presence, emergence and anchor of my soul. The proof of inclusion and transformation from the simple man that I was to the heavenly born man that I am becoming in sanctification, pursuit, trial and purification. This is the changing field each of us must reckon. I am not what I was I am now becoming what God has planned for me before time began.

Not for me?

What is the relationship that equates man with God? Is His breath filling your lungs and that light or ember of His Spirit the Light of Life within? What is a cell if not an image of the building blocks and operating system of humanity found within those bellows or within that source? Can the recycled be expected to have within it soul? This seems consistent with Polytheism and resurrection factions finding their end at the long string of recycled host. How about the creations of man through science or singularity are they indwelt by angelic spirit or are they too considered citizen by participation?

Regardless of your thinking these questions are paramount in the coming struggle for humanity and its final rest or repurpose. For if we are not recognized by God as being fearfully and wonderfully made, once, for His good purpose then we do not meet the entry qualifications for that which comes next. If we are recycle spirits or pieces of dense matter then only those original spirits are that which meets nirvana, having dutifully experienced and endured the testing of ten thousand lifetimes to now be snuffed out for eternity. What then is the death of a smart phone, television set, refrigerator or AI Robot? Do they differ now that the Robot has acquired or arrived at sentience? Is then our argument that consciousness is life and that life guarantee of soul?

Does an ape have a soul and thus affinity to God because it has sentience or because God made it with a soul, the infusion of His life and light? Here in is the division of Man along the Lines of Jesus Christ. For all those who have been given a Soul by God must follow His direction to the afterlife. Nothing without having been made by Him would have a soul, purpose and invitation to eternity within His Family. Supporting evidence to this notion is God’s inclusion of a couple of each animal on the ark, that they somehow differ from a robot, machine or refrigerator, even one with AI. It all boils down to the reluctance or refusal to acknowledge the Sovereign, Creator and Maker, God. Which is the root of God’s argument in Roman’s One, the place where the war with God is personally perpetrated by each man through active choice in failure to acknowledge God.

Additionally, if all things have soul or even if they don’t they are considered spiritual in their sentience then why would God clearly warn human’s from taking the Mark? Does the mark change your sentience or rewrite the DNA of your designation as a human, thus depriving you or a qualified soul for man’s available eternity? Is failure to heed this warning another measure of disobedience or deception associated with allegiance to Adam and Eve’s original sin? Or even re-acknowledgement of a willingness to follow the Serpent? There are a host of relevant questions here that cannot simply be ignored or avoided. However, the scientific community does just that they same departure as found in Roman’s One. Does this therefore define the two sides in the dividing line of Christ Jesus?

For good reason there are resounding opportunities for consequential decision placed upon all men. If we need a soul and that soul having originated solely in God, then any departure or reformation of a previously created being voids the original allocation of God’s Light of Participation. Therefore a scientific, pharmaceutical, augmented trans-humanist view of eternity would fail God’s offer of eternity at its foundation. This view is consistent with Biblical History carried with him the secrets given him by his Father through God Almighty. Those as with science seeking an alternate explanation for the origins and destinies of the world outside of the Creator run into the same problem of Roman’s One, once again. Anything manipulated by man or angel to effectively recycle that which was already made by God is simply moving the pieces around the chess board, not creation from nothing.

However, scientist, trans-humanists and reincarnation religions all claim that each of their mental or physical creations have a soul. If they do not acknowledge God then why must they painstakingly argue that all that they create has a soul. If they are creating alternate explanations or creation why do they all depend upon the construct of a Soul being the origin of life and if so where does that soul come from to indwell a robot, clone or bucket? A soul is that which exists when the physical dies or returns to dust/ashes as the Bible proclaims. The largest difference is that in God our Souls are preserved and matched with our dead bodies having been glorified by God to deliver to each of us a glorified body that stretches beyond the control of time and temporal. Seems to me there is deception afoot and they seek to outsmart or avoid the destiny for each of them written and defined by God. They just want us to join them in that disobedience and deception. Not for me, not for me.

Much harder

When the count gets to one only that which matters is revealed. There must be a time limit to allow or deny the range of opportunities before launch. By nature our indifference may be nurtured forever without end. We as men must be forced by the construct and control of time to make a decision for or against the commands received.

Many will dodge authority that they never have to make the painful decision. Some choose regularly to be tested by the demand to decide. Where is your heart with regard to indifference, choice and avoidance? Are you the one who knows so firmly what he knows that you need no countdown to decide?

Perhaps the blessing is making a choice before the temptations and trials come to dissuade, deny or fearfully instruct? No blind man’s bluff or sweetened pot to influence a change of mind at sundown. What Word is so compelling that it is beyond influence, bribe or deceit? What story so sound and authentic that all who hear will invariably comply?

For me I don’t care about being wrong about God as the stakes are too high to lean to other understanding. That small quiet voice directs me to that which is right and true daily, reaffirming instantly the righteousness of God. For we all know that which is good versus what serves inherent need or want.

There is a right way to live and obeying God sits firmly at its foundation and root. There is no question when considering eternity, no indifference when defending your family, the vulnerable or innocent, no indecision when making that choice that allows you to confidently approach the throne room of the Maker to hear and obey the voices of all that lived before you.

Knowing faithfully that this choice was easily made and much harder to endure.
