For those waiting to accept Jesus until He is physically standing in front of you, unfortunately for you that time will come but it will be to administer justice against those who have risen against Him. The fact that you are waiting for that proof will undoubtedly and regrettably include you in that remainder of people deserving of His Wrath and Judgment. Failure to decide has always been ground for a decision in this world.  If you fail to help your child when choking, you have made a choice. Failure to leave the seen of a crime makes you legal accomplice to that crime. What then is your defense for not taking God’s current offer of Forgiveness, Mercy, Cleansing and Escape of His Wrath? You are not choosing by choice to not choose for whatever reason that is the one unforgivable sin is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. In turning down God’s offer of the seal and indwelling of His Spirit you are blaspheming that offer of Grace. So if you are waiting for God to show up in order to believe, you will get that wish but it will not turn out well for you at that meeting.

I get it that you want to taste of life on your own as in any adolescent. You want to be free to make your own decisions and enjoy your life on your own two feet, pursuing your dreams free from the burden of answering to elders.  How is that working for you? Last time I checked’ you have a boss you don’t like, a wife you cannot stand being around because she constantly nags and kids who can’t stand being around you because you always pursue your goals and desires and not theirs. You don’t have the money you wanted, the dreams you wanted and you are stuck listening to a bunch of people tell you how to live your life. Or there’s your Brother, who has nothing, does nothing, believes in nothing but eats when he wants, sleeps when and where he wants and drinks all day because that what he wants to do. Last time I checked you thought he was a fool.  He thinks the same of you.

The greatest mistake in our thinking is that the God who created us for a purpose and loves us dearly enough to send His son to die that we might be saved and redeemed to Him, doesn’t have the best plans, the best intentions and the greatest understanding of the absolute best road for us to travel through this life. Can we stop being so frail, so palsied in our understanding, so ill equipped to make sensible decisions that we see the truth and the wonder in the preceding statement. God made me. God knows what I was made for. God has the power to make whatever He wants happen in my life, including miracles that lead me to joy. How can I do a better job at running this life by exercising my poorly considered decisions, based upon partial information when all I can think about is when my belly is next filled?

If you are waiting one more day to make decision about Christ, remember that one day you will waiting a day that is the Last One. What if this is that Last Day? If you knew that it was tonight you would be on your knees right now begging Him for forgiveness. Or maybe you would just let it pass and accept it as fate that you have been included with this wicked world and the fallen. I don’t know your heart, but HE Does. That is why there is no excuse because choose or not choose you will get exactly what you are seeking by a perfect judge who Knows YOUR heart. I pray that your heart is clean and that you choose Life everlasting in Jesus Christ today. However, it is your choice to make unless you don’t choose then it will be made for you. I don’t have the authority to make that choice or the subsequent judgment but HE DOES>

In Jesus’ Name I pray for you today.

Evidence is fine in matters of court. Presuming innocence is the fair minded reality of a Sovereign Society that protects all citizens from despotic false accusation and imprisonment. What then is the proper method to look upon evidence in matters that are based upon a faithful belief without such evidence?

We are highly blessed and have the avenue to approach and please God because we have eschewed the requirement of evidence in our pursuit of a relationship with Him. It is not that evidence would be dismissed when it is presented in His appearance before us, it is that evidence is not a requirement of faith. In fact, a demand for evidence becomes evidence itself of a believer’s lack of faith. Does this present an additional barrier to belief or produce an obstacle to discipleship?

Clearly those seeking evidence will be the largest segment of those having not accepted the gift of grace for absent that requirement of proof they will not surrender. However, this is a benefit for many things in this life exist without our ability to rationally explain them, black holes, quarks, deja vou, gravity. Yet we believe in all of these anomalies, assuming at some point that we will be given the evidence or rise to level of understanding commensurate in accepting them as fact. Is faith a discipline consistent with this “wait and see” acceptance?

For some this may be effective argument, but a true acceptance of grace is rarely associated with a factual proof of an evidentiary argument, as in the case with Thomas the Apostle. For how many will have the opportunity to see the Christ standing before us in order for us to accept and believe? Well, none it appears. So, in this day and age we are left with the requirement placed upon us by God in that He clearly wanted us to make a choice based not on evidence but upon a spiritual understanding of the objective Truth that is God’s Existence.

Did people believe in God before Jesus came, of course, having seen His hand in their lives, having seen His Masterful Work in the creation around them, but it was still a thing of faith above all other evidence? It is possible that Christ was the evidence of God provided for our understanding. However, any way it is viewed,. faith remains an ideal based not upon evidence or proof but upon Spiritual Understanding and acceptance of something greater than our intellect.  For if I only believe in things that I can explain and understand than I am a fool dismissing the majority of a world that confronts my rational sensory acceptance.

God does not need my belief in order to exist, for that makes me the center of the universe and its definitions, which clearly do not depend upon me for anything. God defines the universe, we are merely observers of that candid definition we often struggle to explain and tolerate. We all die, it is a fact that is inescapable. Yet man continues to find evidence to suggest that somehow we can be immortal without God’s intervention. The angels are immortal, yet they owe that immortality to God’s design. Our Spirits are immortal yet again owing the same debt of invention to the Lord. Why then would the creator of all things require evidence of His existence as a prerequisite for belief in His Rules, Parameters, expectations or offers of Mercy and Grace? He wouldn’t. God does not need me to believe, He offers me the benefit of that belief without proof, called faith, without which it is impossible to please Him.

I don’t care what evidence you produce to the contrary, God to me is the Truth that I wholly and completely accept in faith. This faith provides a foundation upon which my world may not be shaken or moved. That is enough evidence for me. In Jesus’ Name.

Lord why so many questions? What internal compunction drives me to know? If I were content but to view instead of review this world would appear less complex. Is my analysis a worldly urge and urgency or something placed in my DNA as prompting to seek answers? What is this grand internal pressure that I should know that which I presently do not? Didn’t they say that somehow ignorance is bliss? How then do I create my own discontent in the quest for revelation?

Even now I am asking you questions about my questioning spirit. Am I incapable of simply being observer and learning through the quiet sensory reflection upon visual stimuli? Must my mind and mouth be attached that upon my lips appears immediate question of what I have seen? Why must I take apart the watch to discover its inner workings in presumption that there is some elevating concept in “knowing” its origin? And when confronted with that origin finding that it creates even greater questions about the maker of that origin, isn’t that the answer to my own line of questioning?

Did you make me to seek you from the word go, when as a child I immediately began to ask everyone around, WHY? What is the origin of this inquisitive nature this prompting to analyze with these senses over which I have little mastery? Data, data, data, swamped with data, over which there is little escape but to wall oneself off in a dark plaza. Are we made to be susceptible to sensory input as a production or device of enemy tactics to overwhelm the receptors that they near or find incapacity and overload? What then is the mastery or reluctance and tolerance or control of input? Are there limiting powers given within rebirth that protect these receptors from any unwanted or spurious data? Do we have filters? Is that the answer that somehow we are in You protected from this bombardment of fiery data darts or sinful visualization, auditory or epithelial input?

Father, I am always on a quest to understand, to know the comprehend, seeking controlled mastery of the world around me. Is the victory in life the decision regarding process? Am I to be given that knowledge by Your Hand for the asking instead of biting the fruit of the poisonous separation from you in seeking it through my own line of questioning? That sits well with my stomach. Yes, that is it, that I am to come to you with my questions and they will be answered in perfect timing with clarity and purpose, rather than seeking knowledge of my own accord which opens me to the wiles of this deceptive enemy. Putting the collection of knowledge first on my priority list creates enmity with you because it is looking to the world to answer the questions you stand ready to provide. I acknowledge you in my quest for understanding, depending not upon my own, but fully reliant upon your direction and provision as to what I should know and when. Thank you for bringing me contentment that I no longer seek power, control and comfort through the quest and limitation of my carnal inputs and analysis, but look to the eternal wisdom of God for revelations beyond my static capabilities.

You are My King and My God, it is you alone that I follow, In Jesus’ Mighty Name.

Yes, this life is hard and there are no promises of “soft landing” as we fall from the walls we’ve constructed in our outposts. That hopeless feeling that exists in the exact moment of our greatest helplessness is in fact a tool that God is using to force you to seek His Help. Why else do you believe that the Lord would create a world, into which He made man, knowing fully that man would fall from Grace, as the angels had done. Then provided a sacrifice so Holy and Righteous that it paid in perpetuity for the Sins of All men, the Lord Jesus. Then left us to struggle for ourselves in a world run by the fallen angels against whom we have no authority. Unless, that is the purpose of all of it to find that authority, that fairness, completion and protection in that Sacrifice which had been righteously performed?

We are not victims to this Hard Life but victors because of it and over it through the indwelling of the Spirit of Almighty God. This is no longer a set of circumstances and situations through which we plod in hope of simply escaping the punishment of its unruly practices. Order is God’s Way. We are meant to walk in order through this life fully armed, fully prepared and provided by physically, mentally, Spiritually by that relationship to the Sacrifice made on our behalf. We have been reborn to a new life, with new powers and authority exercised through us over all the powers and principalities of this once unbeatable foe.

Going through trials when you know the outcome is victory is not the same thing as experiencing the victimization of our old life. Try as we may or succumb as we may to the onslaught of false reminders, conviction and condemnation of this worldly prince, we cannot escape the fact that we have been reborn into the Spirit of Almighty God with imbued authority over all of it. This world is made to be temporary, it is made to be a challenge, a combine, crucible and passing for those being prepared for whatever awaits them in the afterlife. For those who choose to believe that mastery of this world or preponderance of its identities and treasures are the victory then they will have achieved what they came to achieve and will face an afterlife separated from the King of Kings.

For those who face this Life in the joyous outlook that this is just our temporary training ground in preparation for our new life to come after this one, then we will abide in Christ hear and with God for eternity. Yes, this life is hard, but in your wise understanding of that nature and your reliance upon Hope and Faith the difficulty becomes another sign of His Love for Humanity.

They remind me of You. Odd shapes and sizes, with interesting pasts and even more intriguing quirks and talents. They come from all over with accents that make me laugh and fears, worries and concerns that could power city electrical plants if we could ever harness their wasted energy. They Love wonderful things; like kids being free from assaults upon their innocence, birds, whispers, worship and song. They are a poem to the testimony of their creator, when I see them I know You.

They write down their thoughts and want you to read them just so you can tell them what you think, so they can feel acknowledged. They are so frail, yet when the chips are down, their freedoms are challenged, their families threatened or their God mocked they arise like a heavenly hosted army. They don’t want vengeance but understand that forgiveness comes before escape. At the top of their lungs they will praise their friends and with those same lungs give you the verbal dickens for forgetting to put out the trash. They are an odd breed, a peculiar people and I Love that they Love You.

They are so timid and afraid at times you have to holler at them to get out of the way of the charging bull yet they will wake you in the middle of night to talk about a shooting star. In times of trouble they forget who they belong to and try so darn hard to get it right or fix things that I have to throw pillows at them to recapture their diverted attention. They want what they want when they want it but are humbled and embarrassed when they see someone in need of which they already have collected too much. They want all to be saved but cannot find the courage to tell people about Jesus. But when squeezed they will mention Him First. They have nothing greater in their lives than You.

Their wishes are true, their faith solid and their bright expectations somehow unmanageable, yet they never fail to remember on which side their bread should be buttered. They try and avoid resemblance but are unmistakably children of the Most High, sent as Ambassadors to pave the road, the skinny road to paradise. They will run from a ghost yet march in Hades to free the innocent and pull captives back from the abyss. All because they are empowered and living filled with the Spirit that is You.

They are Yours and I adore them, not simply because they remind me of You, but because they are the part of you that I get see all day long as reminder of how close we are.  They are your sheep and they need feeding, comforting, encouraging, questions answered and wounds healed. I honor the position before me as their Brother at Arms. Mostly because it is the thing in this life that I get to do entirely for You.

Bless them continually in the Great Name of the King, Jesus.

Do you see it Gertrude, that shining light upon the Mountain? It’s as if the hills are aflame with no smoke, but the flames are clear as day. What do you think is causing such a thing? Should we go and see? Wonder if we should leave word or just head out right away.

What is your hope of tomorrow? What is it, that light, that ideal, that understanding that compels you onward? What awaits in your heart filled with promise that it resonates louder and clearer than any objective reality offered in this temporary dimension? Why do you believe the promises of God? Was it a choice based on rational information and considered deliberation?

Why do you choose to believe? I mean when Grandma Henry told you all about Jesus, what made you want to believe it was true? Why have you sat alone, content all those hours peeling over a tome of Words as old as time itself, searching, seeking, familiarizing yourself with the God of Promise? Why would you accept on faith a Book so audacious it offers cleansing of all unrighteousness for a simple believing prayer? Why would you hold to its promised right living and transformation from your current unhappy existence? Why do you feel that eternity awaits for those who trust on a God they cannot see, cannot hear and barely know?

Well, Samuel, I will tell you like this? What else is there to believe upon deserving of my faith, than a God who loved His Creation so much He took mortal form, lived the same life as you and me and then gave His Life to pay the debt of sin for “all” men? And yes, I will go up that mountain with you, in hopes of taking my shoes off and being on that Holy Ground that God might speak, use us or even if we just get to stop and pray. Why? Well you will have to discover that answer for yourself, because the belief and faith in God to me is the most rational, easiest, most sustainable thing in this mist of a life. It is a thing for each of us to decide, struggle through and come to an agreement or discord upon. Right now let’s get moving because we’ve many miles to go if we are going to make it there and back by morning.

As we turned toward the light I scratched my head and wondered.  How could I have been so convinced by Love, that this story of God’s Plan for Creation set so firmly in my mind was nearly impossible to deny or discount? I walked quietly, listening to the scratch of my feet on the rocky ground, and found myself smiling. Then laughter filled my heart as I realized the flame lived in my own heart, that God had already invited me to the Holy Ground of Grace. In Jesus’ Mighty Name.

It is understood that these drastic upsets are challenging to your courage and willingness to stand the ground you’ve recently taken. No one has the right or realistic authority to tell you that this is not scary stuff. Or that the tremors shaking your nervous system are somehow manufactured fears or unreal impulses felt by you alone. These are clearly difficult, dangerous and frightful occurrences that when reviewed must certainly be considered as sufficiently audacious that they would rock most peoples’ countenance. Reaction to frightful impulses or perceived assaults upon one’s psyche or person naturally trigger reflective and protective responses.

There in lie the miracle. For being born of worldly seed our typical reactions are entirely excused as natural. However, in consideration and direct reflection upon the “new creatures” standing in the space our carnal bodies once occupied, the “normal” responses and defense mechanisms born of sensory reflex shall never again be assumed as the the only responses available to “spirit” seed creations of God.

Those assumptions that accompany our carnal passions and understanding must themselves be re-calibrated, rerouted and readjusted to collateral information regarding the arguable upgrades of being a person now born, sanctified, ordained and prepared for Spiritual Living. We no longer react like carnal beings, is a statement that upon reflection does not describe the depth of these changes and how considerably they cause an adjustment to our parameter of understanding. If we are no longer limited by the sensory catalysts and reactions to sensory stimuli, what then are the true boundaries for “natural” response within a Spiritual discussion or action?

This is a necessary conversation and frankly very productive in each our of walk with God. Therefore, it first requires that direct communication between a believer and the Lord followed by considerable reflection, meditation and prayer. This may in fact be the chapters’s of Christianity that we are meant to ponder and upon which we may be called to provide adequate discourse. The true question is “have I taken that adequate and necessary time with God to effectively comprehend and determine the range of reactions, for me, as I seek to understand the definition of the new Normal”.

Shall I never again be afraid, God tells me that fear, unless an alert of emergency or potential hazard on the road ahead is a carnal impetus fed by the enemy for our consumption, pacification and paralysis. Fear in this life is no longer consistent with those whose fear was previously based on the protection of this life and the sufficient and adequate fear in the real or imaginary potential of losing it. What then is normal for a man or woman who has belief that the coming new life is now the starting point for their True existence and that moment may not occur without direct approval, permission and the will of Almighty God. Shall we then fear that moment in this glorious and insightful Spirit filled understanding, especially when we know it cannot happen without God’s Okay?

Now to worry, concern, upset, anger, depression and similar emotional categories that have the same weighty potential to cripple Christians in their walks with Christ. The Lord directs us to give these “burdens” to Him and in so doing receive a more than adequate cancelling mechanism in the Peace that surpasses the worries of this world. So, if I receive sensory indicators of the world around me and I determine that I should consider them of more import than simple acknowledgement of circumstances then I am remaining in the potential detention of my own carnal misunderstandings in the Spiritual Environ. In fact, prevalence or repeated occurrence of this semi paralyzing status should now be a Spiritual indicator of our next item for surrender to God. He does the changing but we must go to Him having received the  awareness of what must be surrendered repenting of our carnal thinking otherwise we will simply be revisiting the throne for the same set of prayers the next time we make the same mistake of misconception. Often or perhaps even always, yet to be determined, it is the awareness that sponsors the true prayer for transformation.

When I see what I have been doing, it is then time to move on from that behavior inadequate to my new reborn understanding. Unfortunately, I get these insights and indications of my carnal perceptions daily and must pick up my cross daily and walk the walk he bids me make with Him. I pray for perfect reaction in all things that my actions would bring Glory to God in each display for the people who unfortunately must interact with me. However, the fact that I remain on this Earth is clear indication that I am truly inadequate to that expectation. For if I had already mastered the Spiritual Walk such that I reacted in each situation as God would expect or in tandem with His Spirit, then honestly we know I would no longer be here. That being said, the awareness of my situation may apparently be more important than the action within the situation. If, I know what God is trying to teach me or I know what God wants me to surrender for His transformation am I not at a point that I may turn it over to Him in Trust and Faithful expectation that at His Good timing He will make the necessary change to align me with His expectation?

I pray Lord that I see it all that I may surrender it to you for transformation, dispensation and rewiring of my internal circuitry. Let me no longer fear to act carnally but instead catalog each episode that it may be brought to the Throne Room at the next available moment and surrendered to You. Let me no longer judge myself for carnal behavior but rejoice in the realization of these reactions as awareness opportunities through which I might be corrected, guided and sanctified into the Spirit Man I was always meant to Be. In Your Precious Name I pray my God and My King, Jesus Christ, the Lord.

If it’s about you then I will not continue listening. The ratchet scream just oh too much to hear. So ill the fate to be caught in analysis and reason. Sandwiched between control and abject fear.  Cannot let go your hands are fused together. The polar price a charge between the ears. We are left still to imagine our next nightmare. Where all that’s gone will be hashed out through the year. Next Step, windswept, family kept just won’t accept. Some loss, provided by the boss, as rolling moss grows greater with each toss. Let it go was your mantra of the morning, but by midday your will had turned to sand, along the way a dream or two were broken, shattered upon the rock we chose to stand. Cannot be helped, it’s all so polymorphous, changing shape and identity each turn. The mind is whole the body known as corpus, meant to us that we just couldn’t  bear to learn. So on the shelf we sit with waiting pleasures and bide our days leading into longer nights. All represent the not too drastic measures will be evoked to exercise our rights. Gone is the fog and the frog that leaped right over to windy shores and mighty fields of clover. To sleep on it we draw our paws asunder, as lightning shakes and peels in crashing thunder. The moors forgive but the river is forsaken by all who pass into the wishful past. Too bright to live to much energy to last. Gone is the night and forgotten by the morning the day begins without giving dawn its warning. And we are stretched by attitude of mourning as our hearts dim to the content of our sins. We recollect in the objects of our laughter, twice intersect the past and days come after. We entered dreams and found ourselves convicted to play the roles we’d invented for the king. Our righteousness and hope were both constricted and held in check by the old song that we bring. This new life waits and does not come for calling, stand up against all our hemming and our hawing. No excuse is born that meets content’s charter The veil is torn you’ll have to pray much harder. To be heard we’ll have to stand in patience, to seek that call by attendants of the throne. For after all when the wind has all stopped blowing, In His Great Palm we will never be alone.

Did your parents, teachers, colleagues teach you the parameters of what is right and what is wrong?  Were you born with this understanding? Certainly not.  Then how do we collectively operate on a set of moral standards that are consistent enough that you may interview a huge swath of unrelated people and they will all agree on the list? Let us play the advocate for falsehood for a moment and say that we had somehow over the ages determined through a collective examination of the moral standards of civilization an agreed upon list that has lasted throughout the ages.

Where is this list? Who in history determined it and how did they do such a precise job that people from all races, religions, cultures and classes generally agree with its content. How then is that list that has managed to survive for ages and eons now somehow inadequate and being tested? Have the foundational parameters of civilization suddenly transformed that a mass departure from that list would be constituted by an agreed upon edit?  If it was produced by society’s wisdom then shouldn’t it continue to endure throughout the ages of society?

We must face certain realities about the transformation of our nation and its natural tendency toward decay. That is the way of all things in this world, without the sufficient maintenance and upkeep they naturally begin to fray, unravel, rot and decay. First, on the edges and then within the body begins to show signs of its mortality and may be refreshed but when left to this process it will eventually fall apart and die or vise versa. We had forgotten that this nation was a living example of the aspirations of men to live free. Without proper maintenance and protection, especially of the renewed liberty necessary for the children to grow up and assume their position as steward, this country began to unravel and now is clearly demonstrating the results of full on decay as the odor of rot sets into its body. What will happen next depends entirely upon what we plan to do to either restore it to full health or allow the rot to continue perhaps even speeding up the process by division and war.

That considered, it is imperative for us to determine the answer to our first question; how do we know what is right and what is wrong? This set of understandings is pivotal to the restoration of this once great nation, for without this collective understanding then some Americans will feel that they may practice any behavior and consider it condoned. So where is our list? How do we view it and how do we update it to restore that foundational understanding to our citizens that we might walk with a faith in the security provided by this collective agreement?

Oh, there is a list but you don’t want to talk about it, because to do so would be to acknowledge that there is someone Sovereign, who developed that list to show mankind their sin. I understand, to acknowledge such a begin would mean that you are no longer in charge of what happens on Earth or in the heavens that this Sovereign being would make the rules for man.  It would also mean that He sees us and knows what we are doing and is going to hold to some account for our alignment with that list we were given. Oh, and we also understand that this Sovereign being has declared that all who come to Him and believe upon the salvation that He provided for us to be free from our guilt and sin and that every person must make a decision on that belief or unbelief before the end of their lifetime. Wow, that does make it a complex decision being faced with that reality. Do I acknowledge a list of right and wrong which will allow us to restore this nation, knowing fully that in so doing I must also acknowledge God’s power and authority over my life and the life thereafter or do I just allow America to rot?

These are important times not only for America but for all men for this is the time of our clear decision making with regard to God and simultaneously with the continuation of this Nation He has given us.  I get it that you say that you live in the land of the Free, where you get to choose who you want to worship, even if it is greed, avarice and your own personal list of delights. However, with a nation, especially a free and Sovereign Republic that boasts inalienable rights that cannot be taken from us because they were given by God, there are a set of responsibilities, just as there is a list of what is right and what is wrong that demand performance by all. You certainly do not have to worship God and say you are a Christian, but for the good and continued health of this nation you would have to acknowledge His existence and that He made the rules of what is good and bad and that you are consciously going to abide by His rules for the good of this nation.  Without this understanding there is no America.

Like it or not you are a steward, born to live free in a Nation that requires you maintain its Sovereign by standing by that nation, abiding by the rule of Law establish by men through God and acknowledge that your Sovereign Freedom is subordinate to the Sovereign Authority of Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. In so doing you must acknowledge that the Bible is in fact Truth and that the commands He gives to men must be adhered to and will be adhered to by you and your family for the good of this nation’s Posterity and Health. Yes there is a list of what is right and what is wrong it is called the ten commandments and it is the basis that made this nation powerful as we used it as a guide for a our moral action. Without it we decay, dissolve and fade into history. With it we stand strong as one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All. We all must make a choice when asked is there a guidebook for what makes America great. Will you accept and speak the truth when asked to make that decision yourself?

Must I understand the elements that construct life in order to put shoulder to plow and love to heart? Is it a requirement that each relationship be conducted in a manner that it is precise, with a sense of value and purpose in order to Love in God’s Peculiar fashion? Is it necessary to forgo those things attributed to “well that’s just the way I am get over it” in order to accept and become the transformed creature of God’s reconfigure? Must we see ourselves fully in the identity and perspective of God’s understanding in order to launch forward upon the divine quest determined for each of us? Well, Yes.

When I am done complaining about what I cannot do for God, then maybe, as I sigh, it will dawn upon this daft intellect that I never could do any of it from the outset. It is the expectation born of my carnality that marries me to a limited boundary of imagination, moderated by my incapacity to manage the outcomes. When the results are of God’s to deliver, how may I manage or become successful in reaching destinations that I have predetermined which by nature are sans the miraculous intervention of Spirit? I cannot get there because I don’t know where there is.  And I don’t know the road to get there nor do I have the power and authority to breach the immeasurable gaps or necessary skill to create the interrelationships required to build the bridge I never imagined would lead from here to there. Lengthy but you get the point.

Father, this thing you want done, I cannot do, but I will still accomplish these tasks, as Your Spirit fills me with understanding, perspective, peace, courage and equipment in the perfect timing for its completion. Surrender is a word that was counter intuitive to this man, until I understood that within that surrender I found peace and successes beyond my imagination and scope. The new man will be ready when it is time to move. Whether that is the case at present is purely within your evaluation and counsel. Here I am Lord, this man, Send Me.  I Love and Praise You for all that You are, especially for that which I am not. In Jesus’ Mighty Name.
