Armor Up

In which shadow do you stand? In the shadow of the memories of better times, times past that gave you that warm feeling of contented resolution? Walking in the shadow of heroes who fought for justice and found their way into history not by choice of glory but by sacrifice? In the shadow of God’s Almighty Wings, shading, hiding, sequestering and protecting you from detection and malevolent assault by His enemies? Or maybe you skulked, prideful and putrefactive in the element of darkness that you call home, that shadow into which your indwelling evil spirit blends?

It is after all what we do in the shadows, the unknown, unseen time of our private lives that separate us or incline us toward relationship with Almighty God. It is what I do in the darkness that demonstrates my true spirit, the heart that only God knows, secret yet revealing at the day of justice as to which way we are headed on the journey to beyond. What then do you do when you know no one else is watching? Do you resist and cry out to God that the enemy might flee from you, the temptation overcome? Do you put on the full armor of God and make a stand to be Holy, Righteous and Pure, set apart as your God is Holy. Or is this the opportunity to take off your mask and delve into the darkest recesses of the mind pent upon completion of lust and desire? Are you even honest enough to be honest enough? Or perhaps you have grown so adept at prevarication that you may even keep yourself in the dark?

Know Yourself and seek the understanding as to your inclinations or you will never resist when faced with devilish temptation. What you practice you will perform, do not believe yourself prepared because you think it so for you will wither in the face of sirens and temptations sweet allure. That is the predicament about darkness and light.  You cannot love them both, you must choose a master and listen to just one for the other will lead you to the fleshly behaviors that cannot exist in the presence of the King. You must make a choice and then through prayer, meditation, trial and growth demonstrate a capacity to resist the enemy that he might flee in the moment of your greatest trial. That is this battle in which we find ourselves enrolled.  The same battle that took casualties the likes of King David, when he neglected obedience and failed to forgive his wife, thus predisposing himself to an inclination for strange flesh. Certainly the Lord used all things for good from that circumstance, but we are all susceptible who believe ourselves worthy and impervious. This is a battle and putting down our defenses is the greatest time of trial for vigilance is the only defense and God’s Word the only safety from potential fall. So armor up, stand up, resist, pray and stay set apart from the lascivious nature of the world and overcome until that day when we will not longer need to fight. Until that day Armor Up.  In Jesus’ Name.

Last Will

I coughed not because the water burnt my nose, I had just made the mistake of keeping my mouth open so long that I swallowed way too much. Taking every precaution to point my toes downstream, I arched my back to avoid my rear end crashing into any sizeable rocks jutting from the bottom of the river. I crossed my hands over my chest pulling down on the life jacket as I approach another chute, hoping to remain aloft and escape the mounting pressures threatening to either drag me down or catch me in the currents smashing vortex. I thought to myself that it had been so long traveling the rapids that I could no longer say I was trapped within them for this appeared my normal road. For a moment I wished upon a boat or some floating debris, but dismissed that my job to focus upon the Lord.

Running from room to room, choked with gasses and black smoke smelling of plastic and insulation. I kept low to the ground trying to find some good air and the wet cloth across my mouth had long since gone dry. My task was to escape this inferno that used to be called my castle, giving not even a nanosecond’s concern to my belongings, my perspective matured to circumstance. The jack Russell Terrier tucked in my armpit, dedicated to making it out with me, I wondered if he truly knew how desperate our situation? I coughed in an attempt to expel whatever had gotten into my lungs, only to inhale something akin to the air on fire. I had made it to the second floor but the doors were all aflame and the windows belching black smoke too think to venture. I knew somehow that God would provide a way, I knew that it had better be in the next minute of two, cause this house was going to collapse. I giggled remembering the rapids and prayed desperately for that trial instead of this current one.

Lying there before the love of a life time, my mate wedded until death, only now I fully understood the meaning of those words. Her breathing raspy and slow, but I could still hear it above the beeps and thrums of the machinery telling us she was still alive. Her hair all but gone, wisps remaining clung to her cheek, as a symbol of their wish to cling to this life. My weeping was over for now, and my stomach ached from the convulsion of uncontrolled weariness and prayer through giant tears. I couldn’t remember eating last and wondered why my mouth was so dry. It is funny how the normal things fall away when perspective sets us firmly upon the path of what truly matters. I looked a mess but didn’t give a moment’s concern to hygiene or appearance for this moment, this precious moment at her side is all that mattered. I focused upon the Lord knowing how much he loved her, so much more than me and remembered how he brought me through the flames, praying with all my heart that time would turn back to that event so that I could meet her all over again. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her chest rise and a smile graced her face just before she breathed for the last.  At that moment we were both seeing him and I smiled back at her as the tears once again began falling on my frozen cheek.

Your Hand

Lord I know you forgive me for making a mess of things. Just when you’ve pulled from the muck and mire, I find myself sliding down the roof upon which you safely placed me. Must I remain helpless at all times or is there some hope that I will become a man with his stuff all covered and aligned that conveys a sense of order? There it is my goal somehow includes being seen in a favorable manner by that group of critics I desperately hope to please. Father forgive me and remove this need for approval from my sensibilities, for I truly look to you alone for my position and measure of performance. I think it has something to do with my desire to be loved by them Lord, in that if I tell them what they don’t want to hear they tend to move away, which is clear indications that they have somehow been wronged. Lord let me remember that You are speaking to them and if they are avoiding me that it may be because you have either convicted them through me or have directed them onward, after our interaction produced what you needed in them. I must say Lord that it gets really old losing people, but I guess that is the price of being a Johnny Appleseed persona. The road and meeting as many people as possible to plant as many seeds as possible is perhaps the overwhelming objective that requires this lack of roots and constantly changing cadre of wonderful faces. Father forgive me but you know my desires are simple for a basic home, a loving Family and some measure of peaceful productivity. I know I have left that behind Lord for the sake of Kingdom Work. Can you please perhaps transform me that I have forgotten that internal desire that I might be peaceful in my choices?

The achievement man is passed. The accolade man has forfeited his awards and medals. I do not yearn for them Lord, but I do miss the good people, the family around me. I know that your Word says that you will provide for all of my needs according to your riches and glory in Christ Jesus. Lord could that perhaps include some family with whom to do this work. Perhaps Lord I am too terse, too harsh or bluntly true. Forgive me Father for ever injecting my perspective or force into the mix. Your Word alone is all that matters, let me never stray one syllable from its perfection, purpose and intent for those whom you love.  Please let me be a conduit not a translator of your Purpose, remembering that Your Almighty Hand crafted all these, even the ones with whom I have conflict. They should get nothing but my love.  Please forgive me for avoiding argument whenever possible as I have found for me this never serves Your Good Will only my own egoistic tendency. Lord if you wish for me to stand and argue the matter I most certainly will but I do thank you for taking away that desire to compete. Father, I know that all good things come from heaven above and I pray that You shower these people with your blessings of joy and hope, keeping them safe and sheltered from your enemies whenever possible. If they be in harm’s way I pray that they remember that the enemy may never penetrate the Full Armor of God and if they dawn it they shall stand against all the fiery darts and enemy assault, arising to victory at the emergence of your IMMINENT Glorious Appearing.  In Jesus’ name I pray.

The Prize

Where do we currently stand? I don’t just mean as a nation, this United States of America, I am more closely referring to the people that have been given these inalienable rights by their Creator which makes this nation possible. Do we find ourselves standing upon shale, loose footing, constantly attempting to re-establish contact with the surface underfoot as it slips and slides beneath the soles of our feet? Are we perhaps in retreat, thinking ourselves outmatched by superior foe, looking into safe egress from which to determine our exit or surrender strategy? Have we been fully overcome and either reticent to admit defeat or even now expect them to burst into our dwelling place giving us proper notification of our lost right to counsel, silence and to hear the facts against us? Or maybe there are a certain few, with cupped hands sipping from their palms with eyes upon the enemy?  Watchmen, prepared to move forward when order received for now sizing, preparing and investigating the mettle and metal of our storehouses?

It is easy to count yourself among any of these descriptive groups, but our greatest hope, relies upon your continued faith in the fact that Country given us by God may not be taken by other hands. No man, no fallen creation, no power or authority but Almighty God may relieve us from the duty and the joy of serving as free men to a God given nation we love. However, choice is a fickle device, requiring evidence, discernment, knowledge and faith. Yes, faith, for the unbeliever a faith that we as humans have the requisite and necessary power, intelligence and stamina to win the day and take this nation back. For the non-committal the torture or contorted who find it favorable to take a wait and see approach.  You will need the faith in our own ability to at some point call ourselves victor or throw ourselves upon the mercy of a new ruler. And for those who will know nothing but victory, freedom and liberty that cupped hand indicates a readiness to shout, Huzzah for God and for His Glory.

What do we face? What is the honest situational analysis of our standing, whether predicament to the unsure or “line of embarkation” for those preparing to move forward to stand for God in the moment He revives this Blessed Nation?

Well, it is not a handsome scene but not all together frightening as the enemy would have you venture. Disparate elements of avaricious nature, wishing to include this nation in Global Empire, have for the better part of the last three centuries been staging actors, elements, provisions, resources, think tanks and politicians neatly within the confines of our own backyards. This infiltration has been clever, well designed and extremely stealthfully perpetrated in a manner that took all the select few unawares. They have started, purchased or endowed a vast network of Corporate Academic Institutions with the strict intent of churning out ample recruits for plan enactment.  Additionally, indoctrinating wherever possible the remainder of the student body to ideals that when nurtured will further or advance empire needs.

They completed this through the establishment of Corporations in the late 16th Century as it became evident that through Maritime Prowess the World was now ripe for conquer not just lands bound by border. These Corporations were developed with the legal, ambassadorial, monetary, judicial and crown authorized facets to locate, purchase, steal, coerce or conquer all those raw materials, agricultural, human and industrial assets and territories as profits for the King and Queen and for the Masters of Usury selling floating bonds to wealthy purchasers.  This allowed these Corporations massive freedom and breadth of recourse without the implications and encumbrances of having to answer to a central authority, while providing investors with the separation of deniability for awful things the company would necessarily do to achieve its objectives.  Oh but they needed an additional spark and manner for controlling the hearts of men, they need clergy. So, the Empire partnered with the State Enterprise known as the Holy See. Although this did provide rather large obstacles to overcome it allowed the Empire to keep people in line through careful placement of trusted priests, cardinals and Bishops who were loyal to the crown and capable of supplicating large segments of the population within the principles of “right living” or “holy duty”.  Not to admire them but the plan was significant in its development and capacity for execution.

So, they bought us up. What the Corporations could not corner in their rapid desire to own everything they could buy, the Government sequestered under the same auspices of “National Corporation”.  They in effect bought the farm and thus owned everything under the ground and all that the ground produced. Now they had to figure out how to own the people that worked the farm and the productivity of their labors so that nothing escaped the Hands of Empire. That is when they developed National Taxes, a product of the wickedly masterful minds of Bankers to siphon off a ever increasing portion of all that men owned. Additionally, where it was possible the corporation made slaves of the people who stood in the way of the universalist causes, selling them into slavery while they appropriated their lands, resources and power.  Then they got truly wickedly wise and developed the concept of national movements against the very thing that they had so cleverly mastered, Capitalism, in order to defeat any competition.  They paid for wrote and spread communism under the guise of Democratic Socialism to assure that their plans were successful as this required a destruction of Nationalistic intention, destruction of Faith Based Worship and a sure method for the Government to own “all assets” not just some.

Okay, it is relatively clear where we currently stand and how we got here.  Now for the totally awesome part, “God’s intervention in answer to our prayers”.  You see that faith they so desperately dislike it really is a powerful thing, see the Word even says that with a tiny mustard seed of it we can move mountains into the sea. What we have seen is a miracle, a miracle provided in response to belief and prayer. God promised that if we got into a predicament similar to this one we need humble ourselves and pray and turn away from our wicked ways and he would hear our prayers in heaven and turn his face back to us to heal this land.  Folks, I give you the military asking Donald J. Trump to run and subsequently winning in an entirely rigged election, so rigged that the opponents nearly threw themselves from the parapets in disbelief at its outcome. But remember, God gave us this blessed country, only he can take it away and it appears that He has determined to at least give us the opportunity to return to him. What we will do with that remains to be seen.  Are your hands cupped as you drink or did you get down and drop your face to the water to drink?

The circumstances appear impossible and by that I need to elucidate further our current understanding  around obstacles which need overcoming.  You see the Corporations, the Politicians and the Church have merged into what they believe is a perfect union capable of conquer, rule and sustainability for the globe. The problem for them is that they are serving the wrong master, whose evil face resides in shadow until the day when the restraining spirit has been removed and he may be revealed for the world to see.  The intelligence agencies were the key, for they are allowed to operate in secrecy, not necessarily secrecy from the enemy combatants, but secrecy from the Eye of the People’s Oversight. Being complicit with the politicians who are supposed to conduct that People’s Oversight provided an additional layer of concealment from which to spring their elaborate machinations. Now they performed their final act, the morphing of all entities into one outrageous and frightening conglomeration of power. I give you Amazon Web Services, the Government funded, Commercial Monopoly that controls all of the data in the intelligence agencies Public/Private Cloud. They have permanently escaped oversight, they have permanently escaped the need for deniability, they have shed their private skin and now have the massive LEGAL authority given to WE THE PEOPLE. Yes, the corporations now have civil rights. And for those of you who have been watching my shows please refer back to our conversation with a certain professor who wrote a certain book confirming that the Corporate Lawyers have spent the last two hundred years commandeering the authority of the People’s Rights through constant legal petitioning.

Don’t be fooled, they know they have us over a barrel and their pride is overwhelming.  Heck they barely even check to see if their masks are securely fastened or the lights are off before breaking into the piggy bank.  Lest we forget, pride was the original sin and second came disobedience, everything fell apart from there forward.  But that is the manifest power of God to overcome all evil and use even the worst plan of our enemies to bring about the Good of God’s Holy Plan for mankind. What do we do about this, well first I would suggest we develop a long term philosophy and a steady diet of Prayer, for the Lord is the only way we are ever going to get this country back from the clawed clutches in which the country is currently held tight. Then once we have set ourselves to determined prayer we need to have hope and faith and stand on the battle field, wherever God sends us secure in the knowledge that victory is assured. Have heart and keep your eyes on focused on the Lord’s intention. He would not have brought us Donald J. Trump unless, he in fact heard our prayers, and since He has heard our prayers His promise is now in play, that when we have turned our faces back to him having turned from our wicked ways He will make a way to heal this land. Are we willing to do the necessary work? I am not dismissing the possibility that God will have some mission work for many or all of us in that process. I do not know God’s Mind it is so much higher than my own. That being said I have to ask does your faith allow that you are willing to march even into the valley of the shadow of Death if so ordered by the Lord for the fulfillment of His Good Purposes?  Are you the soldier with the cupped hand full of water or the one forgetting the dangers and leaning your head to blindness above the waters?  Gideon was amazed that God would send only 300 men to confront thousands but He knew that although He didn’t forsee the exact process He knew that Victory was assured. Are you that sure. Are you Ready?  Are you yet tired of winning or do you have some more victory in your hearts?  Get some for God.

Ponder

Run right out of customary lines, handled with artistry the things that hurt so bad. Forgotten to get mad or sad because its so much better to be glad than suffer all the dismal and dreary aspects in the margins. Fishing for secrets among the answers in a barrel full of documents that I was never meant to find. Sir, I dream of reason and in the light I find the noise. For everyone wants evidence that peace is probably better than living on the edge of war fought among the blind. Trying to make a difference and then convince them things are better, when they long for a return to yesteryear’s and fears left so unkind. Unwinding all the audio so that they can hear their voices, magic of the memory it remembers based on wishes.

Lord, don’t leave me alone to organize my thoughts, which are so often so poorly thought that they should never have left my mind. Engage me in this battle of time and reason, fighting among themselves to make sense of history. Too much perspective or is it too many? Angles and versions and platitudes and accounts. What could it all be about with stakes so high as souls and lives of innocent lost to pay some mystic price in feeding machines of consumption? Is that it, that there are drives to eat it all, to see it all used up, every flower crushed, carbon based energy burnt up or fuel consumed by engines fury? Is that the definition of evil that it seeks to leave nothing but dust in its wake? No plant, no breath, no life, no heart, nothing left for beauties ponderer.

Again am I measured by how much I leave to be used, captured, stored, pledged or sustained by all those who come after? Or perhaps what I lay down to aid them in endeavors so majestically mustered? Shall a child breathe better, a man live lighter an widow escape sorrow or build a home in the abundance of joy that she accumulated in my passing? Isn’t that the mark, having lived for God and not for self? Having put “me” upon the shelf of my own aspirations, replaced by higher calling to build, define, encourage, edify and leave in faith and trust. What must be done to see the dream completed, contented, cemented in the real that will always remain? Or will it all pass and only intention remain, so that what was done is the measure after all? Withering willows pass to sleep while perpetual memory of her weepy blossoms remain, treasured as the true meaning within a life so brief.

There are no new tricks for me, but to provide, feed, help and support. Nothing left for me to give but the cattle on a thousand hills belonging to me only as inheritance. The passion’s of a son working according to His Father’s direction, spending time and dime for the King’s demand. And when they see me in passing I ask that they remember Him for after all He is responsible for all the impossible and possible I will have ever done.  In Jesus’ Mighty, Holy and Righteous Name.  Sleep well and dream of Him.

The Line

How might words be effectively implemented to change the course of Kings, if but a simple man you may only discuss the benefits of good local relationships and clean living? These are not forays for a simple man, steeped in nothing but the proper way to fill and fling a shovel full of whatever needs moving. These are not the ballroom floors designed for a man who only two steps poorly, in worn out skids. This is not the playroom of saints determined to plant seeds at every juncture, leading folks to Christ in hope that they might repent and find salvation. These are the perfunctory inclinations and measured responses developed in the aspiring minds of young emperors. Well I learned the dances, the art of their war and the passions of political argument for another life, a life left behind for this. What shall a man do when called on the rug to give testimony and argument before princes?

God will give me the words to say.  I am fully dependent upon Him. Oh, it surprises you to think that I will be called in front of Kings to make my passionate pitch in testimony for Almighty God? Well what else am I to expect as He continues to bring me along a path that appears directly tangential the mean at some point there will be conjunction as that moment I must anticipate to be used of Christ. To think anything else is to remain unprepared and that is anathema to Biblical understanding. Why would you train a man for battle, or dance or debate and than make no anticipation or provision for the moment when that training ventures into the realm of possibility?  That would make no sense and though I have never been accused of making that much sense, you certainly know a tree when you’re swinging from its branches.

So I will come before them in the clothes given my by God, speaking the Word given my by God, within a collection of talents given by God for the purpose of God that when we meet I might hear those wonderful words from my God, “Well done, good and faithful servant”.  None of us were meant to know all of God’s will for our lives, but we being made in His image have the complicating capacity to determine direction by plotting out current positions in anticipated arrival at a future function. I see what is coming by where I have been and where I am. Isn’t that how we know that we are in the latest of the end times following that same simple approach to complex understanding? I don’t know for what He designed each of you, but I know that it is for a unique purpose. Equally having looked upon your life, your experiences, your family and your past, I am capable of drawing a line into the future.  Are you doing the same in preparation for what He will ask of You, forthcoming? Perhaps this is the time.  I pray that you see and follow His intention for Your anointing.  In Jesus’ Precious Name.

Walked With God

When we prayed, we gave thanks and understanding to an Almighty God having provided us the opportunity to live in new nation, a free nation, unique in worldly conception for it would be run by of and for the People,whom God loved. What we failed to achieve was discerning vigilance necessary throughout mortal life as we are accompanied by fallen angels of great power, about whom we have been repeatedly warned yet continue to overlook. So, we embarked without the necessary diligence in vetting our commanders, our lawyers and our politicians for affinity to the same. The end result was as it always becomes when infiltrators are allowed entry, catastrophic at best.

We allowed them to utilize the corporations as representative bludgeons, smashing all those who stood in the path of increased revenues, disguising the fact that they were in coalition with those imposing taxes erecting monopolies of monarchy. They smuggled, juggled, raped, murdered and hired mercenaries when the tasks were so offensive that there could be no possibility of association with Rulers, Popes or Politicians. They had invented the device within the machine, capable of delivering death blows for empire while maintaining a sensibility or perception of nobility in production of by and for the People. All the while laughing for the servant had become the master and we didn’t stop to ask although we always knew our alarms in discernment were screeching.

Little wonder now they own the systems for wealth creation, Government, Banks, Import/Export, Education, Law Enforcement, Smuggling, Trafficking and have extended this control so far as to even now want taxes from the Little Girl’s Lemonade stand. Our minds are numbed by their devious offer of entertainment, when they as well own the avenues of media creation, slowly and steadily dosing our minds with the misinformation of their holy and righteous intent. They study, no they take our money to create studies, giving themselves PhD’s and paychecks from foundations that they create to investigate the best methods of controlling social understanding, through media, drugs and education. Then they feed us the product of their wickedness and we lap it up asking for more, having fully escaped responsibility for protecting the castle of our minds, our nation and our families. Content in captivity. They laugh as the open the door and we have forgotten the freedom it offers so we choose the lie, within the dream a dream created by the fallen and fed to the masses whom God Loves.

Then they develop machinery, plans, intentions and recruit with alacrity the best, brightest and wealthiest contestants to operate the keyboards, ATM’s, board rooms, pulpits and newsrooms of their intention. Again we missed them sending all the right people to the right schools, belonging to the right secret societies and having the right handshakes, because we cared about cheeseburgers, RV’s, college educations and 401K’s,. having excluded the purpose for the creation of a Holy Nation, anointed and ordained by God for the Purpose of Bringing Glory to His Holy Name. So we just followed lousy men, pent upon their own edification, power and princehood. We had forgotten the King of All and were instead given worldly servants of sin in exchange. What then how now do we awake from this petrified slumber? You just did.

But the answer lay not in your own capacity to form teams and raise battle cries, brandishing weaponry of self defense for this my friends is a Spiritual Battle waged between enemies beyond the grasp of hands. This war was fought already and this country was evidence of those having acknowledged that victory yearning to live by rulership of the ONE RIGHTFUL KING< GOD ALMIGHTY. That is what started this nation believing that concept that we only had one King and we would not be ruled by men but by His Good and Perfect Grace. What we forgot was not just vigilance to protect ourselves in formation of this nation, WE FORGOT to protect the relationship that gave us inalienable rights that are now being taken. WE FORGOT our affinity to God from who all these blessings flowed.

Do the only thing that will save this nation, free its people and maintain its rights in perpetuity, CRY OUT TO GOD FOR MERCY AND INTERVENTION> For without Him this gift shall be squandered, stolen and smashed upon the rocks of wicked wantonness.  Father, Forgive our slumber, We stand awake ready to pray, fight, walk and perform all those things that will place this ship back on steady course according to Your Good And Perfect Will for Mankind. In Your Plan We Trust. Jesus Christ My King.

Abrogation

Our complaint is basic our argument unrefined, its simplicity inescapable. You must be removed from the position of authority you attained because you have no rightful recognition or authentication to be in charge. Dismissed as abecedarian you threaten and pause for Truth is difficult to dismiss when penetration perfect. This call is not prophetic or informative but importune and instantaneous. This is property of the Lamb and the Lion of Judah and shall henceforth and impetuously abdicated and abandoned. Pay no homage to flowery words of justice for its majesty remains basil heraldry. We do not inquire but demand, surrender or be removed by force of Deity.

Additionally, as your allegiance in constancy is in conflict with the almighty nonpareil your perpetual punishment of his parishioners will cease forthwith. They are sacrosanct and disservice to their purpose is umbrage and affront before Almighty God. Stay your offense, mitigate your intention, for the King of Kings is the appointment to which you venture. He has mentioned millstones, but it is certain your outright fear of this Holy King will aid in conjure of greater implication. Having overstayed welcome in the throne room of a rightful Sovereign will you make further indignation in the harassment of His Kin?

Thought yourself permanent, knowing all along the deception to which you yourself had fallen. This fainthearted fallacy shall facilitate no further. You thought us incapable of discerning your falsehood, forgetting the salvation and its relevant facticity. Wisdom resides with the simple, seeking Sovereign syndication, having been indwelt by God’s Spirit. Again, our sagacious disapproval cries clear above your temporary confusion and chaos. We are clear, now you have similar clarity. Depart in the Great Name of Jesus Christ the King or be dispatched at His arrival. Fleeing now would be wise, but steeped in the knowledge of your prideful dedication, we thoroughly and hopefully expect your removal as cancer by the scalpel of His Spoken Spirit.

Come soon Lord, we need you and will be found dutifully discharging our discipleship upon your return.  In Jesus’ Name.

Off Course

Precious Father I cannot see straight as the enemy frightens people into believing that there is no safety. The lure of fear is palpable on the dry breeze of his brutal quest to disrupt all chance at peace. Lord please lead them to your Word that they might know that Your Grace is sufficient for all dilemma, and that they may this very day lay down their burdens and receive rest. Let the sounds of Your Psalms sung brightly from our hearts lead those who need hope to the cross where you may meet. There is hope yet in this world, a hope built upon the Creator of all that we see. The one person in this universe that never changes, loses form, character or Authority, You Our Lord Almighty God. Let this world sing your praises that we might find joy in the midst of the world’s remaking.

Lord, nothing new is evident in the world gone its own direction. The same tactics used by tyrants over again to dissuade people from living free for the price of gilded cage or promise of a life without concern. This world has never been without worry, how does that deceptive technique even draw one interested viewer. Does the taste of a lie so much resemble honey that they are drawn to its aroma and flavor, even now falling for the same dissemble that led people astray thousands of years gone bye? What is so potent in a lie that people will trade the truth for its false promise? Father, show them the light that they might turn to you and find True Hope. Let the promise of water that quenches thirst completely draw them away from the dissemblers, charlatans and swindlers. Let their hunger be fed by the Bread of Your Sacrifice that they might be filled and be in need of nothing. Let them know peace daily in their communion with Your Spirit as they are free to hand you their burdens, leaving them free to worship, sing and spread freely the Gospel of Peace. Lord, Lead them to the one hope in all this nonsense, relationship with You.

Lord, I see that they have mastered the promise of kind government to the point where the youth have been enthralled with the concept of belonging to something that cares more than the families from whom they have been splintered. Lord Forgive us for allowing this separation as we will inadequately attentive to our watchful duties and allowed the enemy to overcome our families, our schools, our Churches and our hearts. Take us back as Your People Lord, let us once again reside in Hope, Peace and the surety of Your Protective Word of Love. Father, rescue us and deliver us from the jail of our making that we might once again live Free IN YOU.  In Jesus’ Name I pray for this nation, Our People and those yearning to be free from burden around this planet you’ve given us.

The Forest

Through that middle bow, I see the slight blue sky and bordering cloud and the breeze freshens moving the leaves to shake at me. Giggles and digs, face lift and wigs, trying desperately to escape the me at the end of the middle. The Lord did not tell me to make you better, nor to convince you of His power, authority or existence. These things you know if you have ears to hear and eyes to see, having not yet been turned over to personal decadence. How then may I be or service to you as you mock my speech, my look, my faith and my sorrow at your loss and confusion? I will pray for opportunity, but if your defenses are so robust and you so confident in your exclusion then why would you allow an opening to perhaps hear the greatest story ever told, if you will never believe?

I am not this world’s advocate. Certainly, I ask the Father daily to forgive and to consider not taking out His wrath upon you for you don’t have any idea of the gravity available in your throttle. However, the Book of Romans clearly states that “every” man knows the Truth that is God. If you know and you have had your mind clouded or the wool pulled across your vision then I would seek to speak that you might Hear the Voice of Spirit calling you to repentance and salvation. However, let us not be fooled, if you wished to rebel, then you will rebel until such time as either the Lord chooses to discipline you to the knowledge of the truth or turn you loose to this world that you may arrive at that conclusion through trials. Is this my responsibility, to stand and accept your mockery of my faith and of a Holy God? For what purpose, that you might turn your face from Him in indignation.  Certainly, I love and pray for you, but you are mistaken, it will be me who withdraws to find another set of ears who wish to hear and a heart that is open to His Gift.

Time is rapidly determining its resolution upon the age of the gentiles. This end will be our beginning as we enter in to a new era ruling and reigning with Christ here on Earth in a time of peace, followed by brief testing and judgment. If you choose to spend the rest of this life acting on behalf of your plans, treasures, endowments and pleasures, building buildings that will not last and campaigns that will be irrelevant that is okay.  I get it everyone wants to make a mark on this life and the justification I most hear in response is that we do not know the day of the hour so Christ’s return could be hundreds of years from now, so why not prepare for that contingency? Makes sense, doesn’t it.

I mean, for the first time in history Russia, is aligned with Iran, is aligned with Turkey, Sudan and Libya. That has never happened before. For the first time the entire world can view the two witnesses at the wall simultaneously, that has never happened before. For the first time in two thousand years, Israel is a nation and controls Jerusalem and now has annexed the Golan Heights and soon the Samaria and the West Bank. For the first time in history the Roman Empire is once again coalesced in the EU with colonies around the world through the British Empire once again preparing for Global Domination in its Ten Toes of World Kingdoms of the Treaty of Rome 1968 Mapping. For the first time in history people are falling away from the church in droves, leaving buildings empty, prayer rooms silent and believers seeking private Bible Groups of Spirit Filled Saints. The oceans are sick, the air is swarming with all manner of pestilence and metal and people commit genocide upon the innocent and unwanted indigent or elderly without a moment’s contemplation of God’s Perspective.

If the trees are waving then there is a breeze. If the sky is red in morning then we know that rain is likely. If sabers rattle we know that war approaches. If the dark clouds loom we know that storm approaches and if the wind takes a cold or warm flavor we know seasons are to change. Yes, the Lord said no man knows the day or the hour but He told His Apostles and Disciples clearly that we would know the SEASON of that day and hour. If you want to look the other way for your own reasons do not mock or blame God when the indications have been delivered for your edification.  You who know Christ or know the Bible should be first to proclaim this season to others as they may be at the mercy of NOT KNOWING, preparing them is the decent and faithful thing to do and is frankly the job we have accepted as disciples.

If you choose to turn away from God’s offer of Grace then know this that I will pray arduously that the Holy Spirit breaks through your resolve and draws you to eternity. But remember this if you do not listen to this offer of Grace and find yourself embroiled in tribulation and a false god who proclaims himself king of the world, remember this conversation and CRY OUT TO GOD FOR MERCY, because without it you will end up with all the wicked at the day of judgment facing their penalties. That is truth, I hope that it frightens you but I truly hope that it makes you act now instead of taking the chance that you will even have a chance to act later.  See the Forest, you are standing in it. In Jesus’ Name.
