It’s all new, this day, this next hour, this very moment is a new breath drawn from the Spirit of the Almighty.  I exist because He made it so and continues to allow it.  If I depended on a respirator for my next breath, my every breath, I would not be able to travel one step without knowing it was with me.  Do I share this awareness of God as the original and continuous provider of each breath?

That type of Holy Spirit awareness is my current prayer.  Lord imbue me with singular ability to keep You ever-present at the forefront of thought, action, prayer and mediation.  Let that knowledge fill me to the brim with joy, understanding and the Mind of Christ.  Let me be that beacon to a darkened voyage, a torch in cramped, unlit hallways and forest footpaths.  Provide a faith and trust that kindles the dismal heart.  Give me that power of redemption to awaken those presumably forgotten, damned or lost to eternity.  Give me voice to cry across the desert, highland or waste in honor of your Mighty Name.  Give me hope where sadness lingers and faith when darkness falls.  Let me help just one more person reach understanding that surrender is victory, service is strength and joy unending energy.  Give me life in abundance and the wisdom to never covet it but share it with all who will accept the bread of life, the water of rebirth and the blood of redemption.  May all who know the name of Jesus fall upon Him before He falls upon us.

God in Your infinite majesty and splendor be praised in the name of Christ Jesus the King through the Holy Spirit of the Lord.  Amen

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/03/us/methodists-vote-against-ending-investments-tied-to-israel.html  The voice of those who wish to be cursed by the God they supposedly serve.  Forgive them Father, turn their hearts back to You.

I would love to be as charming as I think I am.  I would love to stand solidly in the knowledge that all I have told people about myself is the truth.  I would love to never have to ask God again to forgive me for lies of commission or omission.  Those sentences that begin with “I” are always the most relevant, insightful, regretful and self-absorbed.  If the conversation, thought or repartee, even with good intention, consistently focuses upon my shortcomings, areas of opportunity or point of view, then the bulk of my thought life, serves self.

Did I surrender my life to God?  All right, that having been done my life is now in His capable hands to mold me, shape me, direct me and remake me into something other than the likeness of Adam.  It is not my job but to yield and follow.  Subsequently, continually pondering, blustering about or bemoaning my inadequacies or strengths diverts my true focus, The Lord and His needs.

I don’t care how messed up I am.  As Paul continually remarked, that Judgment is the Lord’s prerogative, even where I am concerned.  Sure I know that I need growth but it is not my responsibility to achieve that growth, but rather to submit to the Lord’s expert hand as He moves me down the road to completion and respond to His course correction.  I don’t know where He will take me.  My job is simply as He said to “Love Him with all my heart, mind, soul and spirit as I love no other and to love my Brother as I would want to be loved.”  Yes I am to remain focused on His word, remain focused on prayer and remain focused on Him.  Any other concentration distracts from focus on the Lord and His Mission and Will for this life.

Frankly, I am tired of wasting thought upon myself.  It is much more interesting to assist others in achievement of their goals, encouragements and spiritual aspirations.  There is no better way to learn than to assist someone else in their learning.  Make somebody else’s day and you will have made a better day for two people.  The Lord has you in the palm of His hand and He knows right where, when and with what tools and for what purpose He wishes you to arrive.  Seeing the precision of His unfolding plan is enormously exciting.  If you cannot take your hands off the wheel of your own life how then do you expect to keep your fingers out of the pie that God is baking for you?  He is the master potter, the craftsman.  Why do you think He came as a CARPENTER?  It is time for us to get it and stop worrying about ourselves and leave the work, war and worry at the foot of the cross.

Of course this does not mean that you sell everything you own and go lie down by a river and wait for the Lord to move mountains on your behalf.  That is foolishness.  The Lord always sent His prophets and disciples on the road to meet up with the work He had prepared for them.  The work is “out there” my friends not in the churches sitting around eating casseroles waiting passively for the lost to walk in the front door, eager for salvation.  There is a time for fellowship and that is after the WORK has been done.  Get on the road for Christ and put the focus where it belongs on spreading the good news, warning of impending judgment and seeking the lame and the lost.  Serve God not self.  Jesus the Lord be praised.

http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/love-worth-finding/player/how-to-behave-in-a-cave-266007.html  The potency of self control in Biblical situations.

Say to them the Lord “knows”.  He knows of your suffering just as any good Father knows the circumstances and struggles of each child.  He Is There.  This is not a God who sits on the sidelines and simply plays a disinterested role as the theist would charcoal Him.  Does the concept of indwelling make sense to you?  Does the idea of your body being His temple bring responsibility to mind?  Do you, like me, avoid this knowledge when you are harboring sin within the cottage meant only for the Almighty? 

I am the steward of God’s temple.  There is no greater duty than tending to the House of God.  If I am to love Him with my everything, as He has commanded then I must first look to maintenance of His earthly dwelling, my body.  What I do matters to God it should matter to me.  I must be cautious in my opposition to worldly influence.  I too am spirit, dwelling only for a while in this finite flesh.  What I do at home, how I love myself, my body, dictates how I treat the world.  Surrender, obedience and growth, those are my charges.  The Lord Knows and He Lives waiting for His perfect time to reveal His truth to the world.  In Jesus find comfort, peace, strength and love.  Amen.

http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/465.Alexis_de_Tocqueville  What did a Frenchman who loved America say about her over one hundred years ago, In fact he died just before our Civil War took place.  How precise and uncanny his discernment!!

http://www.wnd.com/2012/05/youtube-pulls-plug-on-christian-videos/?cat_orig=faith#ooid=1xNWdsNDpHSGM3HnD8dphZ3M-D1tINkn  What do you think, is this in keeping with the Lord’s intentions?  You certainly will not be popular at a party full of disobedient believers when you raise this as a topic for conversation.

Is my face the same at dawn as at sundown?  Do I wear a crown of humility, shame, petulance or pride and show my family that same face throughout each day?  Am I the Spirit-directed preacher on the street corner where it cost me social coin or does inspiration wither?  Will I rebuke when necessary, love always and encourage all to become strong in the Lord and the power of “His Might”?  Will I weep at His feet when He shows me what I could have been for the Kingdom or will I beam with delight at His appreciation for well-directed effort?  Am I a sheep following my Shepherd or a wolf looking for opportune weakness?  Do I have Holy-boldness when proclaiming His Word, reclaiming His land or instructing my family?  What sort of action provides evidence of my faith?

Do you feel Him near?  My heart says that imminent means today until He shows me otherwise.  The harvest is ripe, the nations declaring their stance and the leaf begins to curl after the bud has born fruit.  Looking at Biblical proclamation of the things to come, I see that although the actors have not yet taken the stage, everything is positioned for curtain’s rise.  Russia teamed with Iran, Saudi on the sidelines, Africa teaming and Turkey thirsting for return to the Ottoman glory of days gone bye.  The runners are in the blocks and the starter’s pistol raised.  Even the face of America has been transfigured by promised judgment for His that go astray.  We are becoming a homo-sexual nation as payment for our negligence.  Our leaders can no longer find their way to righteous thinking strangled by the morass of a misdirected majority and personal pursuit.  We have become a nation of “Existors” simply counting days in a life with out course or direction.  Gone is the surety and abundance which comes to those who trust in the Almighty, gone is dependence on eternity and gone is our national identity based upon our faith, thanks and obedience to the creator Who blessed us.  Yes the times, time and half a time is nigh.  Soon we shall see the outcome to wickedness, mockery and inaction.

Will I be that same man who boldly declares his allegiance to Christ when eating with my Brothers as when preaching to the proud?  We shall see in this day, which may prophetically be the only one that I have left.  Praise God in all His Glory.  Bask in His grace and authority.  Honor Him with my actions, words and worship.  Love God with all my heart, mind, soul and treasure.  Weather the storm under His Mighty Wings.  I stake my claim to the everlasting on the surety of His promise.  Jesus my King.  Amen.

What moves a man?  How many victories, defeats, failures and successes does it take to sponsor maturity and usher in necessary change?  Has each of us taken his or her spiritual pulse to gather complete understanding of our individual resistance, reluctance or surrender to the inspiring Hand of God?  What ruts have my wheels found?  What circular or false paths have I wandered in exception to the divine?  Where have I been and where am I headed?  Am I making my flesh, mind and spirit subservient to God’s will or do I continue to waste finite, valuable life-energy upon things which further my worldly happiness instead of Kingdom Joy?

Will I be honest with myself instead of passing the buck to a world “lacking authenticity”?  Have I fallen into the Judeo-Christian trap of hypocrisy which God abhors?  Do I listen and follow the demands of children or do I lead like the spiritual, warrior, priest and prince that God’s tells me to be?  What grand stimuli must the Lord send my way to get me off my duff and out on the road for Jesus?  If you are stationary then you are probably disobedient, with the caveat of those who have been told to stay put and wait upon the works of the Holy Spirit.  If my flesh calls me to movement then I should stand still, if my desire calls me to complacency then I should get on the road and the let the Spirit be my guide.  Anything else is sitting on the fence and will surely be spat from the Mouth of the Almighty as tepid faith.

Do something for the Kingdom, you will see that you begin to lead instead of follow or tolerate the unholy practices of a fallen world full of pagan ritual and wasted labor.  Be what He wanted you to be, listen for His voice and respond to His prompting.  Live a life of abundance with Him for Him and through Him in this world and the next.  God be praised in Jesus’ Holy Name, Amen.

Gazing into the Lord’s eyes of fire I tremble at the awesome, majestic power of God.  An honored fear, a wise fear, a respectful fear sponsoring loyal behavior and continuous surrender.  The original sin was one of disobedience to the Lord’s will and elevation of personal freedom of expression.  How different might things have been if Eve told the serpent to wait there while she fetched her husband to crush its head.  Adam had dominion and could have chosen to deny self and claim his right to dominate the enemy.  Instead he chose his own rebellion and thus gave up his cherished, righteous reign upon the Earth.  I asked myself today, “are you surrendering yourself to preparedness for the Lord’s millennial reign?”  How does my obedience to those the Lord has placed in position of authority above me prepare for surrender to His Will to Come?  My rebellion is my rebellion and if I will not practice being obedient now then I will ultimately rebel against the Lord when He rules with an iron rod.  My recommendation is to surrender to the one who loves you most, He will never steer you wrong.  Practice now, perform later.  Praise Jesus in all His Might, Truth and Glory.  Thank you Father, Amen.

http://www.israelunitycoalition.org/news/?p=8012  Ezekiel’s telling of God’s word will shortly come to  pass.

Softness in the mid section precedes flabbiness in other bodily regions.  If I allow my core to become weak then my borders, edges and periphery will follow.  Defeat never happens in a day it is a slow, ebbing eventuality perpetuated by a term of erosive attack, breach or lack of attention to detailed defensive preparation.  Reflect upon America’s current demise and you will see all foundational failures on our dam of moral malfunction begun by the influences of pressure, time and decay.  Vigilance means continual prayer, education, edification and attention to obedience with regard to God’s commands.

“Woe, to the complacent,” says the Lord through Amos 6.  Our lack of disciplined attendance as Stewards of the Kingdom has led to overall structural failure within the civil network.  It has failed because our fields lie fallow and unprepared for planting, allowing our midsection to become weak and subsequently incapable of withstanding the pressures of erosion.  Stand and the Lord will fight for you.  Lie down and relax and the enemy will take the city from you.  Get up and man your post, prepare your gear and assemble your families for prayer and spiritual quickening.  The fight is upon us and I call you to victory in Christ Jesus or failure in your flesh.  You decide.  Praise the Lord, the Messiah, the Lamb and Lion of God who took away the sins of the world and will return for our eternal, collective and individual judgment.  Amen.

http://youtu.be/eQpNBo1n02U  Bradlee Dean does a good job in a call for caution about what we are growing in our own fields.

Have I compromised?  Have my feet followed their own path wandering away from the footsteps of the Lord or have I kept my eyes and way compassed to His calling?  What are my regrets?  Do I bemoan things not acquired, treasures lost and conquests unheralded or is my heart perplexed by the weight of misguided actions and disobedient pursuits?  What will I tell Jesus when I see Him?  What will remain from my existence here on Earth after being subjected to the perfecting flame of Holy Fire?  Will it be granite, crystal, gold and silver or the greyed, carbonized embers of life lived for self and abandon?  Praise you Lord make me of clean heart, mind, spirit and hand.  Give me Your dream for this life and the next.  I love you Jesus, please walk with me.  Amen.

Hmmm.  You can only call someone a conspiracy theorist if there is no evidence to demonstrate the rational foundation for such belief.  Look at the evidence, seek the truth and act precipitously to avoid confusion, deception and suffering. Senior member sits on the Security Council, how convenient.  Most members are media, political, corporate and royal power-brokers, no wonder we can’t get the truth.  Managed media=misinformed and uneducated citizens=lack of preparedness or civic participation, apathy and helplessness=consolidated power for those who crave it=disaster for the common man.  Trust in God not in man or your own understanding but be prepared.

Be Wise, be educated, be informed and act according to the Word placed in your heart by the Holy Spirit.  It’s in the Bible that’s why I’m saying it folks.  Praise God only, nothing and noone else is worthy of it.

There are few things that sustain life.  Among them the chief physical need is water.  Humans  have the capacity to go extended periods of time without food but our water requirement is short, a number of days.  Water is so important in fact, that without the abundance of water on the Earth we would just be another lifeless planet.  Love and forgiveness provide the same sustenance for the human spirit and heart, without them we are parched, dried up and cannot long survive in even a temperate environment.  Without love we wither and become bitter.  Without forgiveness we languish, disconnected from God, family and fellowship.

These elements are pivotal to our healthy existence.  Therefore, if any one of them is removed from us the gamut of human emotion becomes probable; protest, anger, depression, psychopathy, fear, dread, failure and isolation.  So as the world’s love grows cold for one another we should expect a prevalence of these emotive responses.  As we become less forgiving of our neighbor’s violations against us, we will see increased separation.  And as we see our greatest natural resource defiled and depleted we should expect an exponential increase in terminal endurance.  Yet, even greater than the effects in removal of these pivotal elements is our escalating separation from Almighty God.  He is the provider of all things elemental and spiritual.  Like a drought brings all to humility, so too the absence of the Lord breaks men.

Without Him we have no purpose but consumption.  Without Him we have no hope but conquest of the weak.  Without Him we have only a violent, uncaring humanity with fools and satan as our guides.  As the pivotal elements continue to ebb and become in short supply these principles will become self-evident.  Our spiral has been created by our lack of self-restraint and our overwhelming desire to pursue pleasure.  We will suffer for the removal of God from our lives, our societies and our thoughts.  Forgiveness, love and water are so essential to our existence but they merely point to the most important thing in each of our lives, without which we perish for eternity.  The Almighty God, through Christ Jesus our King.  The water of life, the bread of forgiveness and love.  The hope of all man kind.  Amen.  Listen to the word of Lord in this regard.

Jeremiah 13:26

This is the word of the Lord concerning the drought;  “Judah mourns, her cities languish; they wail for the land, and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.  The nobles send their servants for water, they go to the cisterns but find no water.  They return with their jars unfilled; dismayed and despairing, they cover their heads.  The ground is cracked because their is no rain in the land; the farmers are dismayed and cover their heads.  Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawn because there is no grass.  Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights and pant like jackals; their eyesight fails for lack of pasture.”  Although our sins testify against us, O Lord, do something for the sake of your name.  For our backsliding is great; we have sinned against you.  O Hope of Israel, its Savior in times of distress, why are you like a stranger in the land, like a traveler who stays only a night?  Why are you like a man taken by surprise, like a warrior powerless to save?  You are among us, O Lord and we bear your name; do not forsake us!

We thought you were just joking Father when you called us to repentance.  We considered it lightly this grace we were offered in exchange for sin and eternal separation.  Why didn’t you correct us when you saw us chuckle as you said things like, “If you love me you will obey my commands”?  We really couldn’t take you seriously.  I mean, imagine all humanity forgiven just for repentance and belief, who could ever take such an idea with anything but incredulity?  How could we be expected to surrender to a God who created us, provides for us, Loves us unconditionally, invites us to spend eternity with Him, never leaves us and told us in advance what would happen to everyone that decided to stand in opposition to His Will?  How preposterous!  Nonetheless, truth.

Have I laughed at Your Plan Lord?  Have I giggled when considering Your Majesty and the price you paid for my salvation?  Have I squandered the assets, first fruits, talents and life You have generously provided me?  Why do questions so deep even come to a mind so shallow?  Everywhere I turn, You are there.  I cannot shake this banner of mockery upon my own brow.  Inaction is confirmation of belief in something other than Your intention.  Please forgive me for taking Your Word lightly.  Please pardon my inactivity when I have been directed to work, sacrifice and calling.  Please take away my continued shame of participation in activities unbecoming a child of the Kingdom of Almighty God.  Remove from me any flippancy, sarcasm and foolish mockery.  May I only speak what is right, just and true.  Let me be a good servant to your righteousness.  It is in the name of the Messiah of God that I pray, Christ Jesus, My Lord, King, Savior and Joy.  Amen.
