Only

All Power lost they will go. Oh, do Lord send me those who do not crave my restraint or Dominion. Thank you for their departure for I will never surrender to anyone but you ever again. Even saying that Lord I must acknowledge my cry for you to support that courage in the moments when even Love or the reasonable facsimile is again used to sway my vow.

Isn’t it a desperate ideal that this world may still coax us to allegiance to the sparkling and swirling promise of carnal achievement. It has to hurt. That is the only way to escape being enslaved by the pretty things of mind and the Quest to find this temporary life rewarding. For their is nothing further from the truth than the deceptive promises of dreams, dreams of escaping the pains of youth.

Strength is only found in retreat, ever pushing forward after conquest is a self fulfilling lie. Truth may not be mastered only accepted as it is revealed and used as guiding comparison of discerning hope of all that is experienced thenceforth. May I walk away from the spicy or sugary regard of child hood. Being alone though never pleasant is where I met the Savior.

May He provide those who know true love and are not stuck in the offering of falsehood. Those who truly love never leave, as they never left Paul even when he was doomed to execution by Empire. I must regard and suspect that same end in not giving or surrendering to the agents of untruth, the Children of Disobedience for they cannot know the Truth.

I pray for them as their quest is truly an abomination an idea I learned from Stephen. They try and dedicate themselves to mastering the trail without ascension. Caught in the loop of their own desire to achieve greatness, a quest that may only end in misery without surrender of self. Lord may I eschew the things of me and mine, accepting that which is found in You.

Decide

The script or litany of installed fears paralyze us into lack of courage, the dog has lost its fight. Where there is true: learning, love or God’s hidden treasure we ought stand, wait or struggle for as long as He allows. Most often the will to give up is the greatest enemy against which we walk away from ordained wrestling.

This truth is one from which most will escape. These times demand/dictate the opportunities, Divinely Preordained, for us to step forward and meet the impossible where it seeks to erect seemingly insurmountable edifice or mountain. What are we here for if not to express to this world that nothing is impossible with God Almighty.

I have been taught by God’s enemies to give up. Everything around me says run away, it’s too hard, it is beyond your scope or that investment will simply deplete your reserve. The real things in life the one’s that have the opportunity of going with you to heaven are the experiences that this world blessingly uses to transform you through: love, pain, joy and hope.

From how many blessings have I run after conditioning by this world which says this is it, get it while you’re here as when this ends it ends? Life eternal requires a new thinking and perspective. This is not my end. This is simply the stairway to the beginning that includes this iteration infused into the glorified life as I receive entry into the realm of the impossible.

Remaining unpoisoned by the world may often appear as if everything that is distasteful or difficult must be bad for the Spirit. The opposite is true. Just because something is hard or will require me to suffer the transformative pains associated with growth does not mean that contains the taints of this world. Yes, sin must be run from in the midst of every experience.

If everything were to be totally avoided then the courageous would never take the battle field of discussion, ideas or resistance of all that is fowl. We must learn how to fight for the good things found in this world and if we preemptively decide to avoid or run from the unpleasant those things and mysteries planted within these experiences won’t be found.

Tears and Smiles

Be surprised, confident and expect the miracles that are about to be sent you. Find joy in everything, good, bad or just plain boring. For these are the moments that truly count in the retelling of your existence. I can honestly say right now we will speak of how well you clung to God’s promises and believed in victory before it was even seen.

God knew you before the Womb. There is nothing in this life for which He has not accounted. It may seem a random string of events to you, at least that is what the fear salesman would have you believe. Yet, even he knows that you are destined for glory at the foot of the Light of the World. It will all resolve in peace and new songs.

Have you yet seen the purpose in service to man and the King? Has your design been revealed even in the most basic thought that you are even now beginning to unravel clues and visions of your grand purpose? Oh, what wonders God has placed within your making. A set of character and gifts meant for the specific reason of His achieved Glory.

What then do you fear without a death facing you? What then is the sleep that frightens men so? Why is everyone afraid of something that you will never experience? Who else may say that the Lamb of God has gone to prepare a place for them and taken nearly two thousand years in its making as God only took Six Days to create this world?

Are you ready to forget it all and remember the person you are to become, the person you were truly designed to become? What dreams await you in God’s presence? What works are you yet to see complete in this life for the coming Kingdom of God? What will His voice sound like ringing in your head or soft and quiet as it is even now?

Are there roads or just walking through sky, walls and mountains? What will it feel like to never no pain again? Will you try to remember this life as it fades into indifference or will you strive to forget choosing the abundant everlasting life before you. What will be the nature of each day as there is no longer night or sun or stars or evil?

How big my tears and smiles.

With

Father God let me rejoice in all things even or especially in those that require me to grow beyond the pain of loss, disappointment or surrender of my quest for fulfillment of idea or dream. What then is the cause of dance or song in trial, tribulation or recovery?

It is to the peace absent this world that I look. Frustrations uprooted as bushes meant for flame. The song of rocks, trees and the cattle march knowing that from Maker they came to return the same. Are there words designed for this Divine relationship and expression?

Thank you Lord for taking from me those things designed for other purpose or position. Thank you Father for provision of those elements, friendship and family equipping us for the completion of righteous task of your naming. What is my new name and those beside me?

Go fourth to live the dream decided by the Mind and built by the Hand of God Almighty. For there is no other worthy road. There is no other understanding but that which is received by listening to the shepherd of this mighty Flock. Who made us to be so powerful in promise?

There is no courage or frustration outside this discussion with Eternal. For those that I chose not are meant to make the journey at my side, a decision not of reason or complexity, but the simplicity of response to Divine Direction. Who will hear or has heard the similar song?

In this is found the lack of worry, loss or mourning for the souls departed or divided by each mountain pass or valley. For in construct there will be a gathering of like souls even those chosen for another path yet trodden on sunny plateau. Do they walk without or against Him?

No for this is His dream not my own and in that founding there will be great joy at the final realization of return. Therefore, I regret not the choice of mystery and surrender. For in the loss of my own scripting I find Eternal Planning resolved. Who then wrote the end to come?

Obvious

Mistakes are opportunities to learn. Mistakes are not judged by my good or bad intentions for they are by nature attempts of misunderstanding. When I intend to love and don’t there is one of two causes from which my intention does little to separate responsibility. Either I wanted to love and did not yet possess the alignment with God’s will in doing so instead offering them my emotional, carnal expectation or judgment or I do not know God’s Love and therefore cannot offer it.

When we approach interactions with new people the chance to make these mistakes are inevitably present. Upon making the mistake we have the chance at correction. Not making that correction at first opportunity identifies this mistake as true carnal intention, no longer just misunderstanding. Love being the commanded objective of God’s Will we have then consciously or unconsciously departed from that perfect will entering into our own objectives and outcomes.

When two Christians come together to create union as one before God it must be done in clarity of Love being the only objective. Both parties cannot go into the ordained union with reliance upon making mistakes over and again. They must have a shared commitment before God to eschew the chance to make mistakes as they no longer have that coverage from accountability as they KNOW that God’s Will is ALWAYS the guiding objective. When one parties outside of commitment tells the other they do not love them and leaves there never was that shared commitment.

Having ventured into this obvious misalignment with God’s Will, either of the people must make a declaration of repentance and if there is shared value in continuing the relationship it must be based upon REAL and HONEST Commitment to right the relationship to one of Godliness in Commitment. If the other party disagrees, now there being clearly no more Mistakes available the relationship must be ceased if there is no agreement to COMMIT.

All of our relationships when considering unequal yoking as outcome must face this reality. God is not asking us to marry the children of disobedience but has commanded us to marry those of consistent faith and alignment with His Will. Proceeding where commitment or lack of relationship with God is present or available is in itself disobedient. Do we truly believe that now we are born of the seed of Heaven no longer stuck in Adam’s Sin having been delivered by redemption in Christ Jesus that we are FREE from God’s Commands regarding the commitments we make to each other?

Obvious.

Threshing Floor

It. It is about honor and truth beyond those conveyances that achieve personal objectives. A path chosen for me not of my own doing. A place designated for acquisition for purposes beyond my own planning or conception. It is about the glory of a God who withstood all the mockery of His Creation to bring about the unity of understanding. It is a gathering of all those like souls to a harvest for permanent separation of the evil and the good. It may only be done by the careful threshing of each corpus to reveal the fruit whether golden, cankerous green or black. It is about removing any lies told by self or powers seeking usurpation of that which God has wrought. It is about eternity and how to reach it. It is.

It is because I am. Things created may not proclaim incorporation within the verb to be unless I am. I am is always first. They would have you regurgitate nonsensical adherence to the things that sound untrue when said, simply by nature they are false. Nothing does not create everything, nothing cannot create, even the wicked must first BE in order to influence anything it must become part of everything. The mere statement of the origin, being I AM is the factual basis for Creation. Everything created something and nothing cannot be part of the something that Everything created. Separate Light. What is the sum of its parts?

It is the nature that drives a man to do impossible things for reasons beyond himself, Reasons that ordain and predispose the things that will be, simply because I am. Free will is the choice given to follow the things of nothing as a man finds his influence and power over that which has been created. It does not govern but convinces itself of authority derived in nothing. It does not breathe life into anything for it is of the nothing that cannot extend what it never had, eternity. It does not reach beyond the horizons of self, limited by manipulation of parts over which it has no authority other than to consume, exhausting the carbon of creation. It seeks taxes over the carbon fibers of creation to feed its hunger to exhaust.

It is not the threshing floor but chooses by Grace to see itself separated and revealed to its disparate parts for the purpose of revelation itself. Because I am deems it necessary to transverse the doorways and paths to eternity. We must face the revelation of the it to reach the next sanctification of AM. It is what I AM told me to be true and transcends the absolute limits of my own comprehension. Therefore I AM stuck in the parameters of choices that are only available to me because Everything decided they are necessary as avenues to departure from this iteration. I AM provided what May BE, not because I want to be part of the maybes as conclusion but because the only choice I ever had was agreement/disagreement with the everything to become something of the Everything or return to the nothing from which I AM adapted me to be part of the Grand Puzzle of His Creation.

Rolling Flames

Three taps on a shoulder and closed eye embrace of freshening fealty. Never questioned that which is right by sight and path. We are seldom seen in captured moments thinking of all those beautiful spring blossoms in the sprawling fields below our quiet perch. We ate then tendered resignation for the view of yonder mountain, bidding it slumber in stone and sky. One Perfect road.

Leather pouch held up high, holding my rested chin. Small comforts this pipe of blackberry, raisin and sage reminding the desert it is not alone. The soft aroma mixed with dirt cooling peacefully from the raging Sun of yesterday’s battle. In brush and moor I lay passion to side hoping to make the soft ground my home for the hours to recover. Even the stars cannot hold my focus.

Moving swiftly after dousing fires of morning’s warmth we run for the boundary of hell and forgiveness. Hoping that somehow logic overcomes fate and order replaces chaos. Time to think and forget again, suppressing gravity’s mounting force to bring our hearts in the bridle of fear’s budget. We have not yet lost but absent intervention of source beyond our making, we are doomed.

Forced to learn quickly or falter we arrange the tools around our feet knowing that in coming moments there will be no time to assemble our rage and precision. Raining down upon the seconds we once ran through dress rehearsal we move silent, swift as if time and sound were partners. Leaning to the left a rock dislodges tumbling toward the edge of sound and water. We forget how to breathe.

What and whose destiny awaits? Will we be left in blindness of eye or mind only to resolve the puzzles so deeply rooted in our misunderstanding? What dreams shall pass the trance of nights spent waking, with inerrant tender? Smudged tattoos of bloat and ash beneath each eye we are reminded of our heart of darkness. Arising to see the shared shame of concluding too swiftly.

intention

I was anointed by God for one specific set of tasks: To Love Him with all my heart, mind, soul and strength like I love no other and to love my neighbor as I would want to be loved, spreading that Gospel message of Hope, Love and Power to all that I meet.

All of the other tasks though some enjoyable and perfectly designed for the gifts that I have been provisioned by God are temporary services that carry with the danger of shiny objects luring me from the skinny path of righteousness. I was ill prepared for the onslaught of attention.

I have never written all from the center of this heart, reserving most of the core of my soul to a protected status to which only few had access. I do not seek to indict anyone for the exposure or deceit I have allowed into this arena for I alone hold responsibility for leadership of this vessel.

It is not my intention to eradicate all interaction and access to the man that remains hidden for good purpose, but to do the diligence that I did not do at first in protecting my heart with the same love that I offer others. After all that is my sole route of soul mastery.

I am after all a Bible Believing Christian and know that we near an end to which many remain unaware and unready. The readiness for the body resides in the last books of the New Testament of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus. Peter, John, Jude, Revelation are the road map given by God that allow us to prepare for what swiftly and certainly headed our direction.

Combining 1Peter 4:17, Jude and Revelation 2 and 3 we see that the Judgment to come begins at the Body of Christ and that it has been infiltrated by those spirits that Jesus lays out which must be avoided, stepped away from and detached from our obligation of first understanding to God’s loving Grace.

We are given the roadmap of preparation and repair of our own intention for everything in God begins with the choice to believe and then act upon that Faithful understanding. I am at a point where I must rid myself of all that I have collected through good or bad intention along the path that should have been guided solely by my love for God.

I will serve what God directs me to relay, provide, teach or council. I am a man of God not a psychologist, influencer, artist or publisher. God’s content is not intended for my aggrandizement in wealth, fame or popularity. It must remain innocently related to God’s Love for you and for me.

Distance

Angry at myself for wasting moments. Self Rebuke necessary when seeing the leaky buckets into which I pour the majority of my will, pleasure and best efforts. Is it okay to be dissatisfied with a set of behaviors that never generate anything effective, rather appear determined against those best efforts? Is it okay to be my own best critic or shall we randomly float through life hoping for better outcomes?

In a bout of maturation I have given over ambition to review the items in your basket. So many want my review and I am less inclined these days to give in to the inclination to provide review for the purpose of projecting the internal conflicts upon someone with whom it is okay to argue. Yes, there are those who seek true health found in the lashes received by Jesus. However, I must ask is it loving to avoid those people who continue to argue, succor or support the wounds?

Just because I can see clearly the splinters, smell the fester of untended injury or am open to being a partner in the aspirations of those wanting to live their born again existence. I still have the choice to be involved, choosing to remain silent, not biting back words but knowing that they will only produce upset for me and all parties. Emotional investments require the best of us and ought not be pursued unless there is an understanding of the energy involved.

There are many who enjoy the dominion of occupying position of wise oracle, seated aloft, the defined elite and holder of grand and awakening ideals. I find no pleasure in looking downward from mantle or perch. Although, it is pleasant to have been involved in assisting those who truly seek resolution or growth. Trudging through the mire of perpetual misunderstanding is truly displeasing. People who do not want health are unlikely to find it.

What I want for them is truly insignificant and in fact the root of both our failed expectation and frustration. I do not love you because of where you are or where you are going I love you right now, because that is the true nature of Love, right now. However, as I age in this temporary life I am far less inclined to make close friends. Not because I am anti social but because most people, forgive me are so caught up in the script they are either writing or playing out that they would never consider the union of two hearts and minds with penchant for mutual aspiration of perfection.

It may be unachievable but God calls us to be set apart for that just resolve. Perhaps I may never reach that pinnacle of this existence, but isn’t it more about the determined effort than the result. After all affirming that it is an unreachable star to which I aspire in fact acknowledges my rational expectation of God’s timely intervention to bring about the miracle it will undoubtedly require to get this man any where near consideration.

For now my policy is to retract into my own dedications and effort. I cannot abide continually asking, expecting or hoping that humans will seek the best they might achieve. It is far better and less abrasive to simply wait upon people with those similar outlook. It is my job to love not help everyone work out their own internally played drama. I can love them and stay a few steps removed. There are relationships that deserve all but the longer I live the less inclined people appear to seek the greatest opportunity for loving existence for a host of disparate reasons.

Diligent

Strong thought and word. The Bible however is the origin of my meditation. Matthew 6:33 begins my venture. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Does All these things include “thoughts and words”? Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12 We are to be if possible of greater circumspection now that Jesus is gone. We are called A Body for greater reasons than my own wishful thinking or individual pursuits. The Bride, the Body represents the Female aspects of Christians. Who was deceived EVE? Deceived by her own aspirations to achieve something greater than she was given. Dominion, over her man, the world, her intelligence, GOD? As that reflection astounds in the protection of Christ, THE MAN laying down His life for the Body, in protection, preservation and promise, I must understand my own will has always been the greatest enemy as the Fallen, may they be rebuked will use my own compunctions as lure to my destruction. They are not omnipresent, they watch. As both shepherd, protector and member of the Bride I must be diligent in repentance and caution of my own EVEish desire to be like or above God. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 9:10 As an anointed Pastor Eph 4 dictates the responsibility of that accepted gifting, I cannot simply think of SELF in holy service to God’s Holy Spirit’s guidance. Love you and understand the carnal aspects of my OLD and temporary man, just as I am learning the life everlasting I am currently beginning to understand. In Jesus’ precious name. Jesus after all was the seed of the Woman, EVE. God’s Name be praised. Since when did women become the bearer of the seed as well as womb?
