We shiver and stare, into a darkness that eyes may not peel. Layers thick promising every manner of horror our imaginations may conjure. Nostrils flare from the acrid, poisonous fumes saturating our thoughts with despair and gravity.  Our hearts fall short of necessary courage, yet as our boots slide with each step we venture closer to the shadowy gates. The Lord promised and we marched on, here we’ve come to the gates of Hell eager to snatch back those who have found fates tempting. This is the love we could muster, this is the obedience to our faith, that the treasured forgotten few will not fall pray to separation from the Godly things of Paradise. Not while Spirit calls us onward speaking their names telling them it will be Okay.

There is no return from Hades but upon Salvation’s Wing. This is not a place a destination to be traversed, this gelatin web of Spider’s Heart, taught to capture forever those things drawn near.  Yet we shall leave this place in triumph, not in shout for none will ever speak again of this day. There is no reason worth the telling.  This day we saw the truth of God’s willing Grace and the price that men bring to themselves in gods, fallen and sin’s madness. This we do only for the sake of Love, that the Lord displayed for all. This is the task of ambassadors’ journey, not simply to tell but to rescue, care for and return to the Arms of God.

God Loves You World and even if none understand we still shall perform for the asking, though our bones wish to forget and our minds suffer palsy brief. This patience is not my own for all this burning air chokes my words, this is the self control of God welling up through the Holy of Holy’s bound within my chest. Praise God for the indwelling counselor and comforter, powerful ready and confident when these are but ramblings. Thank you Father for asking this of me. This quest has shown the horizons of faith that may be eclipsed in answered promise.

I am redeemed and thank you for loving these Brothers, these men, women who but for the will to make a choice stood catawampus upon the shores of iniquity’s burden, the resting place of angels galore in this spectacle of gleaming dark. So satin black beyond event horizon swallowing light.  Into this fray the Light of the World has come to draw back and save those who have not yet fallen pray to its masterful siren allure.  These few will forever remember that they were truly Saved at God’s Last Moment of Grace.

Now the Wrath, capturing all in its path, spreading the knowledge of True Judgment. The Lion has come it is the dawn of tomorrow’s beginning.  IN Jesus’ Name.

Weeping, not from personal pain or betrayal but from an understanding of my intractable desire to help in some manner when I cannot. This is God’s Work and His alone to fulfill or deem unnecessary for His Perfect reasoning. When I look upon a thing I now fully comprehend that I am viewing with inadequate insight, especially lacking the wisdom of power application outside time. God sees all our lives, not just all of us but the entirety of our lives in one snapshot and knows the ebbs and flows of our learning patterns and divine opportunities throughout our short mortal existence. Therefore in that understanding and total complex knowledge He alone knows when to apply His touch, His Word, His Will to bring about the perfect outcome. Yet, when I look upon you in desperation I still weep for lack of affect.

Is this emotion, this wishing, this perhaps hoping things are different somehow a personal betrayal to my trust in God?  Good question. Does every doctor violate God’s Will when he or she cannot save every patient? Do they contend with God when having to realize that the patient is beyond there skill level of application and now must be commended to the hand of God? We feel and that compassionate desire to help, cure, heal, support and defend those in need must be a part of our heaven kinship, for in its powerlessness, I find the only solace available, the Trust that God knows Best.

Contentment, certainly is an indication of agreement with the Lord’s singular capacity to deliver outcomes. My ambition does not outstrip this understanding for some things, though I may wish them so, are beyond my capacity to produce or have been denied by God. Will God perhaps heal your wounds, there in lies the desperation, my only answer being perhaps?

It is what I do at that point that designates and defines my Trust in God for knowing that He can do the impossible thing, it is then time for powerful and potent prayer, leaving the outcome to God but knowing that He promises to deliver for His children asking in His Name. I pray that He heals your wounds and returns you to an established confident position sans the insecurity you now experience.  I know that He can and that He does promise to deliver on those prayers, but I also know that He may know something so complex about your life that this is the event that will sponsor your fulfillment.  Thereby I will continue to pray and weep for you in your pain but I will leave the outcome to Almighty God, knowing that He loves you more than I.

Fearful, for what reason or purpose? Look upon your offering of fear and see that it is a mist to Christians and Jews whose hope is in Life Everlasting. You leverage my now in hope of making me concentrate on the anxiety of losing the now that has been given us for training in preparation for then. What simple thinking in your narrative. I see how Christianity and the belief upon Everlasting Life must confound your limited authority over the now. May the Lord rebuke you if He so chooses and may the falsity and disparity of your continued desire to spread fear among men be met with an overwhelming understanding and revival of hearts to the respectful fear of God alone. We thank Almighty God for this opportunity to declare Faith in His Promises over the frailty, timidity and mortality possessed in holding onto all things now.

I get it without fear there is no obfuscation only transparency.  And for those who depend on slight of hand or misdirection for their accomplishment, it makes sense that fear would be the most likely vehicle for control.  Emotions alike are not real but may come with such alacrity that they overwhelm the meager or misunderstanding heart believing them inevitable.  Fear did not come from God, its Spirit is one of those mechanism utilized specifically by powers and principalities to paralyze, control and defer rightful action.  Believers need remember one thing; the spirit who reincarnated all members who have ever risen from the dead, lives within your heart. Just as with Abraham, that knowledge, that confident refusal to fear the loss of life firm in the knowledge of God’s Surpassing authority is the mechanism that imputes His righteousness to those who depend upon Him.  We additionally are the recipients of Grace, being sealed for eternity by the indwelling of God’s Holy Spirit based on our belief in something beyond self, beyond this temporary world and the life of mist we currently follow.  This is cause for celebration and proclamation that the darkness and its consuming fear have no purchase in our hearts of freedom, having been set free by Christ Jesus.

What then are we to fear now that we live for then?  Well, nothing, but a reverent fear of Almighty God that instructs, humbles and guides us to clear and righteous thought and action.  This life is a mist, short time, training ground, decision space, nothing more, nothing less. It’s importance must not be misconstrued or overlooked nor should it be hyped to the point where the loss of this life forces us into quagmire of thought and emotion. We are eternity bound, praise God and that love for Him and for the believers is the perfect Love that casts out fear. So reside in truth, confidence and the Hope that comes from believing and relying fully upon the promises of God. Fear has no authority in your life, make note of it to know your enemy, but pay it no more heed that quiet recognition of acknowledged enemy attempts.  In Jesus’ Name I pray for all.

Father, I know that this world is exactly as we have made it to be. I know that it is not as you’ve intended and that gap is so large that it is hard to imagine the promises you have made to remake this in the image of your intention.  Thank you for taking my tears today. This place hurts so furiously it is unimaginable how wicked we have become, how calloused our hearts are, and how deaf our ears to the voice of your Spirit calling us to Peace. Lord how much longer can you endure this wickedness?  How many years more must the mockers flock together devising new methods of evil and self corruption, before you have had enough?  Lord I am sorry for my own frailties and ask your continued forgiveness and sanctification that I might become the man that you have always wanted but rarely seen.  I know in my heart of faith that you will get me there in perfect timing and I commend myself to your planning and executing hand of craftsmanship.

Lord, repair their hearts, heal their wounds, make a place of peace as their tears are collected in the tragic loss of loved ones.  Father, the ground calls out with the blood of the innocent. How long must they wait for vengeance, your vengeance Father to be poured out upon those wicked enough to imagine taking innocent lives for power’s purpose?  Father send your ministering angels to watch over these families that they might be strengthened to make it through these difficult times with the knowledge of your loving hand.  Lord direct the body of Christ to come to their aid that they might know love right now and the edifying hand of believers and support of your love.  Father we have had enough, please don’t turn up the heat anymore before we turn our hearts to you.  Let this be the day that we have a moment of national repentance and give our hearts in dedication back to your plans for our lives.

Father, we cannot take much more, but according to Your True Gospel Word this is only the beginning of the birth pangs that lead up to your return. Father strengthen us that we might stand in the face of coming chaos and tragedy holding to the hope of that glorious day that whatever happens we endure and prevail in hope of the victory you’ve provided and promised.  Father may we awake to the day soon where you sit upon the throne of David for eternity.  We no longer wish to be ruled by petty men who always fall pray to the siren of sin. Lord let us live in righteousness where the unborn are not tortured or killed for simply craving life, where the elderly are cherished for the kindness and love they gave and where the innocent children are protected to the point where the lecherous are cast out that they might never inflict pain upon them.  Come to our rescue Lord we are in desperate need of THE ONE AND ONLY SAVIOUR OF MANKIND, Jesus Christ the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  We look forward to your arrival with joy in our hearts, strength in our shield and sword arms and courage as we repeat your name to enemy that flees from the fear of You.  In Your Precious Name I pray..

If I speak evil of any man, am I supplanting God’s Rightful Position as Judge? God created them, God knows their hearts and if they are beyond redemption.  If I make a judgment claiming them invaluable, unuseful, beyond redemption I am in direct conflict with the commands God has given me. How do we determine those who love God, well His Word says if you love me you will obey my commands.  If I speak evil of other men, who are not my enemies but those spirits that drive them and the sin that captures them being turned over to their darkened, reprobate thinking, am I in danger of hating God?

I am to be pure.  If I am cursing about this or that human is it pure water that is coming from my mouth or filthy water? I am to be Holy as He is Holy.  If I am judging others as beyond redemption and traveling with people performing iniquities, am I Holy or even resembling the Righteous King who sent me?  If people look upon my angry, impatient, unkind treatment or response to people’s poor behaviors, is he honored by my walk as a peculiar, transformed, new creature in Christ, determined to demonstrate His Glory to the World that awaits?  Where do I draw the line in looking to my own behavior for answers to how I appear to the World?  Do I judge myself or look in the mirror of God’s indicative Law, being forced into a repentance and humbly asking the Lord for belief.  His Word washes over each of us. His Spirit transform, convicts, counsels, builds, edifies, prunes and grows each of through the process of sanctification. His Judgment has been assigned to the anointed Hand and decision of Christ Jesus alone.

Will you take from Jesus that which God gave only to the one who is Worthy beyond all Creation?  Let us reflect and pull away from the world’s anger, deception and clever spiteful response.  Be Holy, Set Apart, Go to God with petition to remove from yourself those markers, wounds and defects gained in this sinful world.  Be Peculiar, It’s a wonderful place to be in a world of conformity.  In Jesus’ Holy Name.

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

A crown for those who yearn for return.  Just as with salvation to me this is fantastic, being given recognition for receiving the greatest gift a man could ever be given.  It doesn’t make sense to reward me for looking forward to the greatest day in Human History, that certainly is blessing enough, yet the Lord loves us so much that He rewards those who love Him and obey His commands for their lives.  This is essential to understanding how demonstrating our love for the Lord, in Faith, preparing for a day that we know is imminent, yet of which we know nothing regarding its timing, is itself a grand reward.  The faithful Yearn for Christ’s Return.  We Yearn for Rapture, not that we don’t appreciate the opportunity to be tried, grow and be sanctified on the Earth, it is just, well this is not our home.  We were made to be with the Lord as citizens of the Heavenly Body, the Nation of God.

What then are the symptoms of them who await God’s imminent arrival for Rapture and to Rule and Reign for Eternity?  Well, study of His Word that it might written upon our hearts.  Perhaps, deep prayer, spending time in the presence of the Lord through fellowship in the Throne Room of God.  Yet the greatest evidence is a laser focus upon the things of the Kingdom and eschewing the things and preparations for the future of this world as they are irrelevant to the coming Kingdom of God.  In fact, the Lord states that friendship with the World is enmity, WAR, with God.  Additionally, the parables are clear that it is the readiness to which we must attend if we are to be found prepared for the Lord’s arrival for the Church.  Having oil in our lamps, a desire in our hearts and a clarity in our walk upon the skinny path of obedience and holiness to God’s demands upon our lives are those things that demonstrate an understanding of readiness or yearning for Christ’s Return.

Do you look forward to “That” day, holding it in central regard above all things in this life?  Have you prepared yourself for that moment when you stand before the Righteous Eyes of Fire and give account for this Life?  Do you groan and moan in anticipation of the King’s Return?  I don’t about you but I cannot wait to be home with the Lord. Yes, I love people and I do enjoy doing the Lord’s Work but this world is temporary and tiring in its disobedience, wickedness and desire for self indulgence.  It is with God that I belong.  It is to that glorious day when the Trumpet Sounds calling us to be snatched up to be with Him forever that I reserve all my intention and energy.  I will continue to be true to His Calling and remain here dedicated to the works He has set before me, but I truly understand Paul’s reflection, that leaving this life I will be Home.  Yes, I am yearning for Yeshua, Jesus, Come soon, but if you must tarry, please let me just take one more soul with us before we go.  In your precious Name I pray.  Jesus Christ the King of Kings.

What is that point at which understanding becomes belief and subsequently faith?  Is there a gradient or define range of calibration that determines when we have crossed an apparently invisible transitory line between idea and acceptance?  Aren’t these achievements or works, indicative of movement and eventual mastery of an idea?  How then if something is defined through works could it be used as appropriate measure for acceptance or inclusion in the “non works” related salvation of Gospel Promise.  Yes, without faith we cannot please God as the Bible indicates, however God also clearly states that He gives a measure of Faith to all.  So for those believing somehow that it is a thing of mastery or moment upon which faith is determined to have left the realms of consideration, the realms of belief, we must remember these are the Works of God, surrender is our only applicable Work.

How about coincidence, as I will present a coincidence so realistically tragic this weekend that it smash all conference in believing these occurrences in any measure are unrelated?  There are no coincidences for this life being the testing ground and sanctifying application of our national and personal faith is inherently woven together by the gluon of Christ’s participation in the Creation He created.  Yes, there is a fabric, yes the actions and occurrences of our lives are tied inherently together for how else might the Lord use all things to good for them who walk according to His Purpose.  This not only implies there are no coincidence but determinedly sets forth in proclamation that our lives and the exigent events are in fact interwoven by God, through God for the Good of His Own Purpose.

Is that true for Evil? Well the Lord did not create sin, therefore Sin was a gift of free will disobedience in decision determined by the Created.  In fact this may be the only power we as humans have been given over life is the reasonable assumptions and accountability of Choice.  You see, the Bible states that All things serve the Lord our God for this is His Creation and nothing was Created that was not done so through Him, with Him in the Power of His Almighty Spirit.  So, yes even evil is controlled in the pursuit of God’s eventual Judgment and Plan for mankind.  There are many times that evil was restrained, fought back, transformed or banished by the Power of the Lord Jesus Christ.  That is evidence to the testimony that even evil in its apparent lack of coincidental efficacy in the life of each human somehow intricately depends upon the Lord’s authority and Judgement for its allowance or participation in the lives of mankind.  Even satan, the Lord rebuke him if He chooses was given the power and authority he now observes by God.  One would but to ask Why? to be acquainted with the reality that in that provision that evil plays and important role in the achievement of God’s overall objectives for mankind.  So are there coincidence, no.

Please join me this weekend, God Willing where you will see proof that there are no coincidences in the lives of believers or those who have yet to have their hearts pricked by the Love of the Lord.  May God have mercy on all our souls and bring them to the knowledge of eternal salvation found only through the doorway of the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ the King.

The grand plans circling my mind, begging to be recognized, executed and become the cause for praise of my most excellent talent to mandate righteous thought.  My imagination of my imagination swirls without the limits of moral inquisition, reaching into dimensions beyond the comprehensive understanding of virtual realities.  Beyond the fake constructs of virtual perspective, born themselves of dissatisfaction and mutation of reality to make us something we wish to be instead of that we Are.  What is so precious about “Being” that all philosophies seek to remain in the moment, when the avenues and galaxies and layers of my thought life provide limitless, timeless pursuit of Glory and application that send my thoughts of mortality and humanity crashing to the surface of reality’s obsolescence?

God said that He IS, I AM WHO AM, I AM THAT I AM.  How do we reconcile this mandate and proclamation by the Sovereign Ruler of all in and outside of Creation?  What is so powerful, so precious, so majestic about simply BEING, when as I have previously argued that the dimensions of the unreal far outmatch those limit lines, squiggles and shapes of this three or four dimensional expression of life and breath?  How may the Lord reduce Himself to this simplistic ideal when string theory purports some level of understanding beyond the 27th degree in endless permutation, universes folding into dimension in and out of reality’s limited boundaries?  Are we not the kings who are outside of time, beyond the limits of God’s Creation, living immortal that we might seeks the mysteries of time and tear even the fabric of space bending all to our willful understanding?  Or is it something so simple that in our rush to image ourselves emperor of all we have forgotten that God gave us the secret at introduction?

I AM, is where my power resides, my resemblance to Elohim, God forgive my specious reference and limited understanding of something beyond my own comprehension.  Being is the Secret.  We go to and fro seeking the meaning of life, never finding it for it is right where we previously stood, in being.  LIFE IS ITS OWN MEANING>  The living of this life and the products of that experience are the Raison d’Etre that smart men and women always miss when they are questing through the multidimensional simplicity of their own imagination.  God made it so simple it confounds the wisdom of the Wise for they cannot believe the power of the simple.  But we see it every day when the simple minded, the untalented, the children the poor and the unlikely deliver wisdom beyond the greatest philosopher to date.  For if God refers to Himself as, I AM, then being is our greatest probability of resemblance to His Majesty.  So live your life as if it is the objective not the avenue to an objective.  God so loves you and so do I, In Jesus’ Holy Name.

My ideas, imagination, constructs, philosophies and definitions are all slanted by the perspective regarding the judgments I personally make in my bubble.  How then does any one stand and review circumstances that are so disfavoring to their participants that we collectively, immediately, robustly and resoundingly disassociate ourselves with their actions and proclaim them offensive, vial or dishonorable?  Have we visited collectively to determine those things we find vulgar to humanity, those things deserving reproach and condemnation.  Is it that all are familiar with human moral history to a level that each man and woman makes the similar pronouncements?  What then of a man’s behavior regarding his vow to business, wife, family and king?  When these vows of commitment are violated or betrayed what makes it so clear that we all find it abhorrent?  How is it so rapidly labeled as unacceptable and demeaning behavior worthy of broad condemnation?  Is being honorable built into our superstructure?

Betrayal may not occur without the existence of primary trust.  Trust is a dependence upon a certain agreement or set of ideals leading to a lowering of defenses and allocation of access and assets to the person endowed with this consideration.  When trust is violated by betrayal, uncannily it hurts all of us or we share empathically in its harm.  For nothing is closer to the truth that makes us humans that the choice of those we deem worthy of being within our primary or secondary bubbles through the allocation of trust.  But what makes this such universal understanding?  Are we as ants, bees and other beasts of field who have a DNA, sensory or telepathic code of ethics that may not be violated by anyone with the community?  Perhaps?  Have we all read the same literature and come to a agreed determination that those who violate the oaths of their position or friendship should be banished at least temporarily?  Or are you becoming aware that the Lord placed certain Truths within our memory before birth that we know some things just are wrong and right and other boundaries when violated are especially painful?

Psychologists, philosophers and cosmologists would have you believe behavior is learned and therefore it is the collective indulgence of learning that brings about the transformation of man into something greater than current or previous understanding.  Why then have we always violated those trusts we have with common man of adultery, theft, lying, envy and assault, knowing fully these actions are cause for banishment or dissolution of relations?  Because simply they are so egregious and so painful to our internal mechanisms as they are representative of the sin located within each of us that is abhorrent to our collective understandings given us by God.  Being dishonorable is one of those violations that bruises or damages the senses and limits the possibility and probability or boundaries of further relationships following betrayal or ignoble act.

We crave honorable men and women of virtue, that we might have a clear understanding of the benefits of association or mimicry of such grand minded individuals.  However, when they let us down it is especially problematic for the damage is of a greater permanent nature changing, transforming the ideals providing foundation for our trust.  That is why it is paramount that church members be especially mindful of the vision and review placed upon their actions and behaviors, for in so violating a trust we may turn a person from God.  Additionally, we must sound caution’s message to our own perspective in holding some men or women in honorable regard and the potential that provides when they fall from that glorious perch upon which we have placed them.  All have fallen short of the glory of God, none is righteous, no not one.  All are in need of the Savior, the only saviour Jesus Christ the King.  It is to Jesus we ought look for salvation, lifestyle, behavior and trust as all men will fall short of the paradigms in which they’ve been capture by sin.  Betrayal is painful, Trust is precious, Men betray trusts, God never does.  In God WE Trust is not just some motto it signifies and understanding of the balance between humanity and the Righteousness of God.

Trust God. He alone is worthy of our worship, praise and complete commitment without the diminishing capacity of doubt and worry.  All of Me is Yours My King.  In Jesus’ Holy Name.

Lord please don’t let the darkness of our hearts consume this nation once again.  May the Light of your brilliant love shine through the shrouds and mourning cloths in the observance and death of our obedience to your Commandments.  Awaken hearts to the understanding of our impenitent past and the danger associated with a searing of our hearts to the convicting voice of Spirit.  Lord let us awaken as Nineva with Jonah, confessing our sin, repenting to fast in sack cloth and ashes in the shame of our revealed decadence.  Father, let his nation be revived to the call of your Spirit upon the body that we might turn our hearts, mind, strength, faces and will back to the course and heading you’ve determined for out continued blessing.  May we once again preach the Holy Gospel with Confidence lacking hypocrisy and waxen demeanor.

Father, forgive me for not speaking louder, earlier, more often and clearer in my clarity of purpose for the Kingdom’s Work.  May your Spirit overcome my frailties and may I remain dedicated, obedient and focused for the enduring race before me that I might win by telling all that I meet about Jesus.  Lord allow me to do the impossible in reaching hearts that had been previously set to the norm of their own decadent thinking.  Father allow us as a church body to recover from the edge of the abyss those whose hearts have been darkened, separating them from your love and condemning them to lies abstaining the Truth.  Father let them awake that they might face the coming judgment with clarity that they might make decisions now that effect the outcome and location of their future.  I pray that we as a nation obey and stop trying to impress or avoid your Loving Hand upon us.  Let us be real and in being real, truly love you and the world around us enough to lay down our lives that they might be saved.

Lord Jesus, I weary of these circumstances. I can only imagine the depth of your sadness and remorse at finding them closed to your arrival for offer of salvation.  Lord give me the enduring strength to love them enough to deal with whatever comes my way that they might be saved from the fires to come and the wrath of your inevitable judgment upon all in this world and upon the Fallen.  Forgive us for wavering, wandering and departing from the skinny path. Let us again find our footing and our faithful foundation of a Nation dedicated to Living in a way that Honors the Righteous God who created us and provides all that we ever need, including unquenching Love.  Father we pray to have dedication resembling yours but know now that we have strayed from Your Will and Intention for humanity and this Nation.  Please let us rededicate our selves to the principles and ideals and once again demonstrate our love for you in our obedience to all that you have commanded of Men.  In Your Holy Name I pray Lord Jesus My King.
