I LOVE YOU HILDA

I'M PRAYING THAT YOU VISIT THIS BLOG POST...I'VE ASKED THE LORD TO BRING YOU HERE...

YOU SLIPPED AWAY WITH NO EXPLANATION...AND NOT THAT YOU HAD TO...

BUT I CARE THATYOU ARE OK...I CARE IF YOU ARE HURTING...OR IF MAYBE I SAID SOMETHING THAT MAY HAVEOFFENDED YOU...OR WASN'T THERE FOR YOU LIKE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN...

SO MANY THINGS GO THROUGH MY MIND...

TODAY, WAS A TERRIBLE DAY FOR ME...LIKE A TORNADO THAT CAME OUT OF NO WHERE, AND KNOCKED ME RIGHT OFF OF MY FEET...I WAS STRIPPED NAKED...MY SPIRIT WAS LAYED BARE...AND I SAW THINGS IN ME THAT EVEN NOW WOULD DESTROY ME...IF IT WASN'T FOR THE ONLY ONE THAT I CAN TRUST TO HELP ME...

AND YOU AND I BOTH KNOW HOW THE ENEMY CAN TEAR YOU TO PIECES WITH SELF-CONDEMNATION...AND BELITTLE THE POWER OF GOD TO GIVE US VICTORY OVER OUR SIN, THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL...
STRANGE...BUT WHEN THIS HAPPENS...NO ONE UNDERSTANDS LIKE JESUS...IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS...OUR HEALTH...FINANCES...FRIENDS...FAMILIES...
THE WORST ENEMY IS OUR OWN SELVES...WE BEAT OURSELVES UP LIKE NO ONE ELSE...

RIGHT NOW I THINK MY HEART IS BREAKING...BECAUSE I MISS NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE YOU TOTALK THESE THINGS OVER WITH...YOU AND I ARE ALIKE IN SO MANY WAYS...AND I FEEL SAFE INSHARING WHAT IS IN AND ON MY HEART...BUT SOMEHOW I FEEL THAT YOU NEED A FRIEND RIGHT NOW...

I'VE WANTED TO BE THERE FOR YOU...FORGIVE ME IF I FAILED...BUT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE WHO WILL NEVER FAIL US...PERHAPS THAT'S WHY YOU SLIPPED AWAY...TO BE WITH HIM...ALONETHAT I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY....COMPLETELY

SO I AM GOING TO LET YOU GO...KNOWING HOW MUCH YOU ARE LOVED...AND THAT THE LORD WILL COMFORT AND GUIDE YOU...HE WILL SUPPLY YOUR EVERY NEED...

LORD...ENFOLD DEAR HILDA...LET HER FEEL THE LOVE THAT COMES FROM HOLY SPIRIT...HOLY SPIRIT COMFORT HER...HELP HER...SPEAK PEACE TO HER...ENCOURAGE HER...GUIDE HER...PROTECT HER...HEAL HER AND MAKE HER WHOLE...SHE LOVES YOU LORD...WITH ALL OF HER HEART...SHE LONGS FOR YOU LIKE A BRIDE...

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL IN YOUR SIGHT...LET HER KNOW IT...THIS I ASK IN YOUR LOVING NAME...FOR YOU ARE FULL OF MERCY AND GRACE...

JESUS SAID, "I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE...

HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME WILL LIVE, EVEN IF HE DIES...

EVEN THOUGH HE DIES, AND WHOEVER LIVES...AND BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER DIE.

DO YOU BELIEVE THIS? John 11:25-26

THERES NO BETTER TIME THAN RIGHT NOW

AS I CAME TO POST TODAY

I ASKED MYSELF, "WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I COULD POSSIBLY SAY...

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT I HAVE TO SHARE OR GIVE?"

IT'S THE GOOD NEWS!

THAT THE GOD OF ALL CREATION,

WHO HAS EXISTED FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME, AS WE KNOW IT...AND EVEN BEFORE,

HAS COME TO THIS EARTH, AND MADE HIMSELF KNOWN THROUGH HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS CHRIST...

WHO WAS BORN INTO THIS LIFE BY A VIRGIN...GREW TO STATURE HAVING THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD INDWELLING HIM...

HE WAS MANIFEST AS THE VERY SON OF GOD THROUGH HIS WORD AND WORKS...

HE HEALED THE SICK AND RAISED THE DEAD...

HE FULFILLED THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS...

OPENED THE EYES OF THE SPIRITUALLY BLIND, AND UNSTOPPED THEIR EARS...THAT THEY MIGHT SEE AND KNOW THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE THAT EXISTED IN HIM...LEAVING THEM AND US WITH NO EXCUSE OR RIGHT TO ACCUSE HIM...

THE WORLD AND HIS DISCIPLES FORSOOK HIM...EVEN AS THOSE WHO HELD THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS BEARING WITNESS OF HIM...

THEY HUNG HIM ON A CRUEL AND VICIOUS CROSS FOR DOING NOTHING BUT GOOD...HE DIED NOT ACCORDING TO THE DEMANDS OF CORRUPT MEN...

BUT GOD HIS FATHER SURRENDERED HIS SON, AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, WHICH WAS REQUIRED BY HIS FATHER'S OWN ETERNAL LAW TO SET US FREE FROM THE POWER OF SIN AND DEATH...FROM EVERY THING AND EVERYONE THAT WOULD SEPARATE US FROM THE LIVING AND TRUE GOD...

WITHOUT CHRIST, WE ARE BLIND AND DEAF...

WE CANNOT KNOW THE TRUTH...

WE WALK IN THE DARKNESS OF OUR HEARTS AND MINDS...FOR THEY ARE CARNAL...

AND THE CARNAL MIND CANNOT RECEIVE THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD...

WE MUST ASK TO BE BIRTHED BY HIS SPIRIT, INTO HIS KINGDOM, WHICH HE DESIRES TO ESTABLISH IN US...IN OUR HEART AND MIND...BY HIS SPIRIT WORD.

HE DESIRES TO SEND HIS HOLY SPIRIT TO DWELL IN US...TO REVEAL CHRIST AND GIVE US THE POWER TO BECOME HIS SONS AND DAUGHTERS...

IT'S AS SIMPLE AS ASKING AND BELIEVING...

SURRENDERING YOUR LIFE TO HIM IN TRUST AND FAITH...

HE'LL DO THE REST...

HE LOVES YOU...AND ONLY BECAUSE, THROUGH HIM, I TOO HAVE COME TO KNOW LOVE...I LOVE YOU TOO...................SHEBET.

SO BEAUTIFUL...SO TERRIBLE

I WONDER whether people who ask God to interfere openly and directly in our world quite realise what it will be like when He does.

When that happens, it is the end of the world... When the author walks onto the stage, the play is over.

God is going to invade, all right: but what is the good of saying you are on His side then, when you see the whole universe melting away like a dream and something else -- something it never entered your head to conceive -- comes crashing in; something so beautiful to some of us and so terrible to others that none of us will have any choice left.

For this time it will be God without disguise; something so overwhelming that it will strike either irresistible love or irresistible horror into every creature. It will be too late then to choose your side. There is no use then saying that you choose to lie down when it has become impossible to stand up. That will not be the time for choosing; it will be the time when we discover which side we really have chosen, whether we realised it before or not.

Now, today, this moment, is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last for ever. We must take it or leave it.- C.S. Lewis"Mere Christianity"

THE URIM AND THUMMIM

LIGHT AND PERFECTION

WHAT URIM AND THUMMIM MEANS TO ME.

I'VE BEEN DELIVERED FROM THE POWER

OF DARKNESS.

FROM THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.

I'VE BEEN MADE WHOLE.

I AM COME TO HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.

DARE WE BELIEVE IT?

DARE WE RECEIVE IT?

DO I DARE DECLARE THIS TRUTH AND

REVELATION UNTO YOU?

LET THE CONSUMING FLAME OF HIS FIRE

KINDLE AND ILLUMINE US

THROUGH THE CONSUMING OF US.

LET US WALK IN THE LIGHT OF YOUR

FIRE LORD.

BECOMING LIVING TORCHES TO HELP

LIGHT THE WAY.

THE WAY TO TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

WE WILL NOT REFUSE YOUR LIGHT LORD

WE WILL DIE IF WE FOLLOW OUR OWN LIGHT

AFAR! AFAR!

GIVE US THE BREASTPLATE OF DISCERNMENT

YOUR VERY OWN WORD

THAT GUIDES THE WAY BEFORE US.

EYES TO SEE...AND EARS TO HEAR

TEACH US LORD HOW TO MINISTER THE PRIESTLY OFFICE OF YOUR KINGDOM.

IN KNOWING YOU THROUGH HOLY SPIRIT

AND LET OUR ORACLES BE "YES or NO" AND

AMEN.

FOR WE ARE BECOME YOUR SANCTUARY

THE SHINNING STONES OF YOUR TEMPLE

LET THE HARMONY OF YOUR WORD GIVE US

UNDERSTANDING....

WISDOM AND UNITY IN PURPOSE AND DEED.

LET OUR INNOCENCE BECOME OUR SURRENDER...

AND OUR SURRENDER BECOME OUR INNOCENCE.

LET YOUR PERFECT WORD BE YOUR RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT.

YOU ARE OUR COUNSEL AND DISCERNMENT.

LET YOUR CREDIBLE PROPHETIC WORD PROCEED OUT OF OUR MOUTHS...HOLY, AND ACCEPTABLE UNTO YOU.

YOUR TRUTHS REMAIN FROM ALPHA TO OMEGA.

LET URIM AND THUMMIM REVEAL THE MYSTERIES

OF YOUR WORD THAT HAVE EXISTED FROM THE BEGINNING...THE SPIRIT OF YOUR WORD BRINGS LIFE!

LORD...MY HEART FEELS LIKE IT IS FULL OF DOVES THAT WANT TO FLY AWAY TO THE HEIGHTS OF HEAVEN...

SO I SURRENDER MY HEART AND RELEASE THIS GREAT JOY OF KNOWING YOU LORD...YOUR LOVE AND FAITHFULLNESS CANNOT BE MEASURED

I RELEASE ALL WITHOUT WORDS FOR YOU TO TRANSLATE...EVEN BEFORE YOUR THRONE...ASKING THAT YOU BE PRAISED AND GLORIFIED...AND HONORED AS LORD OF ALL...

LET ALL HEAVEN AND EARTH FALL DOWN BEFORE YOU...LET THE HEAVENS RING WITH THE SOUND OF ANGELS, PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS...WITH THE SOUNDS OF THE PRAYERS OF YOUR SAINTS IN HARMONY OF HEAVENS THRONG...

WE LOVE YOU LORD...WE ADORE YOU...LET YOUR NAME BE HIGH AND LIFTED UP ABOVE ALL NAMES THAT ARE NAMED...

BLESS YOUR PEOPLE LORD WITH THE GLORY AND HONOR OF YOUR FELLOWSHIP...THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND...THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE IN THE INNER RECESSES OF OUR SOUL.

AMEN AND AMEN.........

THE CONSECRATED...NEW...AND LIVING WAY THROUGH HIS FLESH

Jesus is made the surety (guarantee) of a better testament...

His Spirit gives testimony...to God's promises...

His priesthood and it's authority is not like that of man...who's offerings did not hold sure and were offered by rite and ritual...a shadow of things to come.

These priests died and the symbol and form of righteous works took the place of faith in God...

But Christ has an unchangeable priesthood, after the order of Melchizedek...and continues forever because he has risen from the dead to become our High Priest...

Because of this He is able to save us to the uttermost...because he intercedes for us in eternity...

He is the visible Lamb of God...a testament before the throne...Holy...Harmless...Undefiled...separate from sinners...and made higher than the heavens;

He does not need to sacrifice daily for His sins, and then again for the sins of the people...Because He himself is become the Living Sacrifice, having died once, and then raised from the dead...consecrated as High Priest forevermore...

This is the PERFECT GIFT that has come down to us...

Jesus our High Priest, who now sits on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens...even as He is in you the hope of Glory...

And this I declare unto you who call yourself after the names of men....

Our Lord God is the minister of the sanctuary (of which you are come alive) that true tabernacle...which the Lord has pitched...and not man....He does not offer gifts unto men according to the Law...

He has obtained a more excellent ministry...and a better covenant...established upon better promises...

NOW...does He put His laws into our minds...and writes them upon our hearts...He alone is our God, and we are become His people...

Our teaching is not from every man, neighbor, or brother...The Word makes alive!...He is the Word!

The old covenant is vanishing...its ordinances of Divine services...its worldly sanctuary...and the testiments of men...

None of this could cleanse the conscience...wipe the slate clean and give eternal promises...

But the shed Blood of Christ...through His eternal Spirit...Offered Himself without spot to God...cleansing our conscience because of the forgiveness of sins...and called us to surrender to the service of the Living God.

This is our eternal inheritance...it is the Blood of the testament that has joined you to Christ...who has entered into heaven to administer the blood of His sacrifice in the presence of God for us...

HOLD FAST WITHOUT WAVERING! BE BOLD! ENTER INTO THE HOLIEST BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.!"

TO KNOW HIM...EVEN AS I AM KNOWN

THOUGH I SPEAK WITH THE TONGUES OF MEN AND OF ANGELS...AND HAVE NOT LOVE...I AM BECOME AS SOUNDING BRASS...OR A TINKLING CYMBAL.

THOUGH I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY AND UNDERSTAND ALL MYSTERIES...AND ALL KNOWLEDGE...AND THOUGH I HAVE ALL FAITH...SO THAT I COULD REMOVE MOUNTAINS...AND HAVE NOT LOVE...I AM NOTHING.

THOUGH I BESTOW ALL MY GOODS TO FEED THE POOR AND THOUGH I GIVE MY BODY TO BE BURNED...AND HAVE NOT LOVE...IT PROFITS ME NOTHING.

LOVE SUFFERS LONG AND IS KIND...LOVE ENVIES NOT...LOVE VAUNTS NOT ITSELF...IS NOT PUFFED UP.

IT DOES NOT BEHAVE ITSELF UNSEEMLY...SEEKS NOT HER OWN...IS NOT EASILY PROVOKED...THINKS NO EVIL.

REJOICES NOT IN INIQUITY BUT REJOICES IN THE TRUTH.

BEARS ALL THINGS...BELIEVES ALL THINGS...HOPES ALL THINGS...ENDURES ALL THINGS.

LOVE NEVER FAILS.

BUT WHETHER THERE BE PROPHECIES...THEY WILL FAIL...WHETHER THERE BE TONGUES...THEY SHALL CEASE...WHETHER THERE BE KNOWLEDGE...IT SHALL VANISH AWAY.

FOR WE KNOW IN PART...AND WE PROPHESY IN PART.

BUT WHEN THAT WHICH IS PERFECT IS COME...THEN THAT WHICH IS IN PART SHALL BE DONE AWAY.

WHEN I WAS A CHILD...I SPAKE AS A CHILD...I UNDERSTOOD AS A CHILD...I THOUGHT AS A CHILD...BUT WHEN I BECAME A MAN...I PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS.

FOR NOW WE SEE THROUGH SMOKED GLASS...BUT WE WILL SEE HIM FACE TO FACE...

WE KNOW IN PART (AS HE REVEALS ACCORDING AS HE WILLS)...BUT ONE DAY HE SHALL REVEAL HIMSELF AS HE IS..AND I SHALL KNOW HIM...EVEN AS HE KNOWS ME...

UNTIL THEN HIS FAITH ABIDES...HIS HOPE...HIS LOVE...THESE THREE ABIDE...AND THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE HIMSELF.

1 CORINTHIANS Chapter 13

Taken from Chapter One of "The Radical Cross" by A.W. Towzer



The cross of Christ is the most revolutionary thing ever to appear
among men.The cross of old Roman times knew no compromise: it never made concessions...It won all of its arguments by killing its opponents and silencing them for good...It spared not Christ, but slew Him the same as the rest...He was alive when they hung Him on the cross and completely dead when they took Him down six hours later...That was the cross the first time it appeared in Christian history.




After Christ was risen from the dead the apostles went out to preach His message, and what they preached was the cross...And wherever they went into the wide world, they carried the cross, and the same revolutionary power went with them...The radical message of the cross transformed Saul of Tarsus and changed him from a persecutor of Christians to a tender believer and an apostle of the faith...Its power changed bad men into good ones...It shook off the long bondage of paganism and altered completely the whole moral and mental outlook of the Western world.



All this it did and continued to do as long as it was permitted to remain what it had been originally....a cross...Its power departed when it was changed from a thing of death to a thing of beauty...When men made of it a symbol...hung it around their neck as an ornament or made the outline of it before their face as a sign to ward off evil...at best its become a weak emblem of our faith...even worse a positive fetish...


(In some cases, we worship the cross more than the Savior who died upon it)(The bumper sticker generation...by a token gift and join the cause...selling our talents...making merchandise of what is freely given.)...As such it is revered today by millions who know absolutely nothing about its power




The cross effects its ends by destroying one established pattern, the victim's... and creating another pattern... it's own...Thus it always has its way...It wins by defeating its opponent and imposing its will upon him...It always dominates...It never compromises...never dickers nor confers...never surrenders a point for the sake of peace...it cares only to end its opposition as fast as possible.




With perfect knowledge of all this Christ said, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me (Mathew 16:24)"...So the cross not only brings Christ's life to and end...it ends also the first life...the old life, of every one of His true followers...It destroys the old pattern...the Adam pattern, in the believer's life...and brings it to an end...Then the God who raised Christ from the dead raises the believer and a new life begins.



This, and nothing less, is true Christianity...though we cannot but recognize the sharp divergence of this conception from that held by the rank and file of evangelicals today... we dare not qualify our position...The cross stands high above the opinions of men and to that cross all opinions must come at last for judgment...A shallow and worldly leadership would modify the cross to please the entertainment-mad saintings who will have their fun even within the very sanctuary; but to do so is to court spiritual disaster and risk the anger of the Lamb turned Lion.



We must do something about the cross, and one of the two things we can do....flee it or die upon it...And if we should be so foolhardy as to flee...we shall by that act pull away the faith of our fathers and make of Christianity something other than it is...Then we shall have left only the empty language of salvation; the power will depart with our departure from the TRUE CROSS.


If we are wise we will do what Jesus did; endure the cross and despise its shame for the joy that is set before us...To do this is to submit the whole pattern of our lives to be destroyed and built again in the power of an endless life...We shall find that it is more than poetry...more than sweet hymody and elevated feelings...the cross will cut into our lives where it hurts worst...sparing neither us nor our carefully cultivated reputations...It will defeat us and bring our selfish lives to an end...Only then can we rise in fullness of life to establish a pattern of living wholly new and free and full of good works.





The changed attitude toward the cross that we see in modern orthodoxy proves not that God has changed, nor that Christ has eased up on His demand that we carry the cross... it means rather that current Christianity has moved away from the standards of the New Testament...so far have we moved indeed that it may take nothing short of a new reformation to restore THE CROSS to its right place in the theology and life of the Church...(The Living Body of Christ)

THIS IS MY PRAYER

LORD...MY HEART DESIRES, MORE THAN I CAN SAY...

TO LEARN WHAT IT IS TO REALLY PRAY...

I'VE WATCHED AND I'VE HEARD, THE MOST PRECIOUS WORDS...

POWERFUL..MIGHTY SPIRIT FILLED WORDS...

PRAYERS OF MY GRANDMA...IF EVER THERE WAS...

A WARRIOR ON KNEES...SOUNDS OF HEAVENLY DOVES...

I'D WAKE IN THE MORNING AND STILL THERE SHE'D BE...

WEEPING HER HEART OUT FOR OTHERS AND ME...

AND NOW I AM OLD...I'VE COME OFTEN TO YOU...

AND ASKED IF YOU'D HELP ME...

PRAY LIKE GRANDMA USE TOO...

PRAY WITH YOUR OWN HEART...

OH LORD LET IT BE...

THIS IS THE PRAYER THAT I ASK NOW OF THEE.

IT IS TOTALLY AMAZING HOW THE MIND OF CHRIST IS EVIDENT IN THE BODY OF CHRIST..

AS YOU COME INTO HIS FELLOWSHIP UNDER THE LEADING OF HIS ROD AND STAFF...YOU FIND THAT HIS WORD TO ONE, IS HIS WORD TO ALL...

THOSE WHO WILL FOLLOW NO OTHER VOICE, FOLLOW IN THE SAFETY OF HIS LEADING...

WE WANT NOT AS WE FOLLOW IN OBEDIENCE...

WE REST IN SAFETY AND ARE FED AT HIS HAND, HIS SPIRIT WORD...

WE DRINK FROM STILLED WATERS OF FAITH AND TRUST IN HIM...

OUR VERY SOULS ARE RENEWED IN THE JOY AND CONFIDENCE OF HIS OVERSEEING...

TODAY WE WALK THROUGH DARK VALLEYS OF APPREHENSION...SURROUNDED WITH INSECURITIES OF EVERY KIND...

THERE IS ONLY ONE FIRM FOUNDATION...

ONLY OUR LORD CAN DELIVER US FROM FEAR AND EVIL...

THE ROD OF HIS AUTHORITY AND HIS CORRECTION SHALL BE OUR DELIVERANCE...

THE STAFF OF HIS WORD SHALL RULE EVEN AS HIS SOVEREIGN SCEPTER, LEADS AND GUIDES...

HIS WORD FROM BEHIND TO REMIND OF HIS STATUTES AND COMMANDMENTS...

HIS WORD WITH US AND IN US BEING ESTABLISHED AS HIS EVERLASTING KINGDOM...

AND HIS REVELATION WORD THAT CALLS UPON FAITH AND OBEDIENCE TO FOLLOW AFTER HIM INTO THE FULFILMENT OF HIS PROMISES AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE AGES...

IT IS SACROSANCT!....

LORD...YOU HAVE PREPARED A TABLE BEFORE US IN THE PRESENCE OF OUR ENEMIES...YOU ANOINT OUR HEAD WITH OIL...OUR CUP RUNS OVER...IN YOUR PRESENCE IS FULLNESS OF JOY!...

YOUR GOODNESS AND MERCY, SHALL WE WALK IN ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES...AS WE WALK IN OBEDIENCE AND SURRENDER TO YOU...IN YOUR TRUTH...BECAUSE OF YOUR GREAT AND MERCIFUL LOVE...

BREATHE

LORD...I THINK OF EVERY WALK OF LIFE THAT JUST WANTS TO BREATHE IN OF QUIET PEACE...

TO BE SET FREE FROM THE SUFFOCATING BURDENS OF THIS LIFE...THE BONDAGES OF SIN.

CIRCUMSTANCES THAT DROWN THE SOUL IN HOPELESSNESS, AND THEN RENDER US HELPLESS...

THE SORROW AND PAIN OF DISEASE AND DEATH...

THE CARNAL MIND THAT IS NEVER SATISFIED AND ALWAYS HYPERVENTILATING...

I THANK YOU LORD THAT THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PEACE THAN THROUGH YOU...FOR IT LEADS TO LIFE ETERNAL...

IT LEADS TO PEACE...NOT WHICH THE WORLD GIVES...BUT PEACE THAT SETS THE BODY, MIND AND SOUL COMPLETELY FREE...

PEACE IN AFFLICTIONS, OF WAR, SICKNESS, LOSS, BONDAGE...AND ALONE-NESS...

THIS PEACE IS FOUND IN LIFE...THE LIFE THAT WE FORSOOK IN THE BEGINNING...THROUGH DISOBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH...

AND NOW WE WALK IN DARKNESS, SEEKING TRUTH AND PEACE...AND THERE IS NO PEACE IN THE DARKNESS...

THE LIGHT SHINES...BUT THE DARKNESS COMPREHENDS IT NOT...

OH MIGHTY AND MERCIFUL GOD...GOD OF PEACE...GOD OF LIFE...THE ABUNDANT LIFE...

COME AND DELIVER US FROM CORRUPTION...

WE CONFESS THE BLOOD OF YOUR SON THAT WILL SAVE US TO THE UTTERMOST...WE CONFESS THE SPIRIT OF YOUR WORD THAT BRINGS LIFE...ETERNAL LIFE...WE TURN FROM THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD AND BOW THE KNEE OF OUR HEART AND MIND BEFORE YOU...CONFESSING THAT YOU ARE LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS...THAT YOU ARE EVEN GOD MANIFEST IN FLESH...AND COME TO BIRTH YOUR KINGDOM WITHIN US...MAKING US CITIZENS OF THAT NEW KINGDOM AND NEW CREATIONS BEFORE YOU...

BREATHE ON US BREATH OF LIFE...GIVE US YOUR PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, I PRAY, AMEN AND AMEN.

HIS WORD IS SURE

I FELT LED TO REPRINT THIS WORD THAT WAS GIVEN IN MARCH OF 2008...


NOW MORE THAN EVER IS THE SPIRIT MAKING KNOWN WHAT THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR ARE TO BE DOING...

****************************

THIS MORNING AS I SAT DOWN TO WAIT UPON THE LORD...


THERE WERE NO WORDS...ONLY THE DEFINITE SENSE OF HURRIED PREPARATION IN THE HEAVENLIES...


THERE WERE SPECIFIC SOUNDS OF A TRUMPET...


IT WAS FOLLOWED BY THE EXACTING HARMONY OF OTHER TRUMPETS THAT ECHOED THROUGH THE ENDLESS EXPANSES OF THE COSMOS...


SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN!...


BELOVEDS...BE READY!...THE WORLD IS ON THE BRINK OF AN EONIC SHIFT...


THE CRY OF THE INNOCENTS HAS BEEN HEARD...


ALL OF HEAVEN'S HOSTS ARE RESPONDING TO THE HEART OF GOD IN THEIR BEHALF...


THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR FATHER TO RESPOND TO THE SUFFERING OF THE INNOCENTS...


PREPARE!...

THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COME!


THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL SHINE AS THE NOON DAY SUN...


THE HEAT OF THEIR TESTIMONY SHALL WITHER THE FRUIT OF THE WILD VINE...IN THE GARDEN OF THE LORD...


EVEN THE VERY ROOT SHALL BE DESTROYED...


IT SHALL BE A GRIEVOUS DEATH...AND THOROUGH...


PREPARE BELOVEDS FOR THE HARVEST OF SOULS THAT SHALL ENTER IN TO HIS REST...

DANCING IN THE RAIN

PRECIOUS AND ETERNAL LORD...COME RAIN DOWN UPON US.

LET US DANCE BEFORE YOU WITH THE JOY OF YOUR PRESENCE.

WITH HANDS LIFTED UP...AND HEARTS FULL OF PRAISE AND GREAT JOY.

DANCING BEFORE YOU...EVEN AS A CHILD, WITH GREAT DELIGHT.

LET OUR JOY MINISTER TO YOU AND FILL YOUR HEART WITH GLADNESS.

BLESS OUR DANCING IN THE RAIN OF YOUR LOVE.

SONGS OF PRAISE REMAIN

SONGS OF PRAISE REMAIN

EVERY SWEET REFRAIN

ECO THROUGH AND THROUGH

A SONG THAT'S EVER NEW

FULL OF GRACE AND POWER

FOR THIS MOMENT FOR THIS HOUR

LET EACH ONE WHO COMES TO HEAR

KNOW HOW PRECIOUS AND HOW DEAR

THE LIVING GOD HAS COME TO BE

WITHIN THE VERY SOUL OF ME

AND NOW I SING SWEET SONGS OF LOVE

BENEATH THE HOLY SPIRIT DOVE

IN HOPES YOU'LL FIND WHILE YOU ARE HERE

THE ONE WHO HOLDS YOU PRECIOUS, DEAR.

SOUNDS OF PRAISE REMAIN

THE WORD WITH SPIRIT'S SWEET REFRAIN.

BEHOLDING THE SPIRIT

I THINK OF HOW MANY TIMES I THOUGHT I WAS IN LOVE...

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SAID IT...

"I JUST LOVE THIS CAR...THIS FOOD...THIS DRESS...THAT BOY OR GIRL"

WE ATTACH THE WORD LOVE TO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING WE WANT OR SEE...

THE EYES LUST OVER OUR FLESHLY DESIRES...

AND I'M NOT SAYING IT IS WRONG TO HAVE THE DESIRES OF OUR HEART...

FOR THE LORD LONGS TO GIVE US THE DESIRES OF OUR HEART...

IT'S THE DESIRES OF THE FLESH, THAT GET US INTO TROUBLE...

SOMETIMES THEY ARE PERFECTLY INNOCENT DESIRES...WELL MEANING DESIRES...JUST UNDISCERNED AND MISGUIDED...

THE PICTURE OF CHRIST ABOVE HAS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE...

BUT I HAVE COME TO FEEL THAT IT IS MY FLESH THAT IS DRAWN TO THIS IMAGE OF HIM...

HOLY SPIRIT...LOVINGLY AND SWEETLY CORRECTED ME BY SAYING,

"DO YOU SEE ME IN THIS SAME WAY WHEN YOU LOOK INTO THE EYES OF A CHILD...OR THE FACE OF A LONELY WIDOW, OR THE HOMELESS AND HELPLESS...?

CAN YOU OFFER THOSE SAME AFFECTIONS THAT YOU FEEL, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS IMAGE, TO THESE SAME PEOPLE...?

DO YOU LONG FOR THE ONENESS WITH THEM IN ME AS YOU DO WITH ME ALONE...?

AND I HAD TO BE HONEST...THE ANSWER WAS NO...

I WAS ASHAMED TO ADMIT IT...BUT I KNOW I CAN'T HIDE ANYTHING FROM HIM...

HE REPLIED,..."BEHOLD MY HEART...YOU SEE IT WITH THE LOVE I HAVE PLACED IN YOU...

BECAUSE OF MY LOVE FOR YOU...YOU CAN LOVE...

LET THIS LOVE OPEN YOUR EYES TO WHO I AM...

THOSE WHO LOVE SEE WITH THEIR HEARTS...

THE VEILS OF RACE, RELIGION, POLITICS AND FINANCIAL STATUS ARE TORN ASUNDER BY THE RULE OF MY KINGDOM IN YOU...

I RULE IN JUSTICE AND TRUTH...AND THAT GOES FOR THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY...

SOME OF MY MOST PRECIOUS JEWELS ARE UGLY TO YOU...

BEWARE! LEST YOU TRAMPLE THEM UNDER YOUR FEET...

JUDGE NOT LEST YOU BE JUDGED...

COME FOLLOW ME...

BEHOLDING BY MY SPIRIT.

IN THIS, IS SPIRIT COME...THAT YOU MAY LOVE.

WORTHY IS THE LAMB

SHALL HEAVEN DECLARE IT..."WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN...

SHALL NUMBERLESS ANGELS GATHERED ABOUT THE THRONE OF GOD, WITH THE BEASTS AND ELDERS...CRY OUT SAYING, "WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN TO RECEIVE POWER, AND RICHES AND WISDOM, AND STRENGTH, AND HONOUR, AND GLORY, AND BLESSING."...

EVEN NOW! BELOVEDS SHALL WE CRY OUT WITH ALL THE REDEEMED OF THE EARTH, THOSE IN HEAVEN, AND THOSE UNDER THE EARTH..SAYING, "BLESSING, AND HONOUR, AND GLORY, AND POWER, BE UNTO HIM THAT SITS UPON THE THRONE, AND UNTO THE LAMB FOREVER AND EVER."

LORD...HOW CAN WE COMPREHEND SUCH THINGS ? WE ARE BUT VESSELS OF CLAY...

THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT...YOU ARE VESSELS OF CLAY...MY OWN CREATION...FOR MY OWN USE...

BE FILLED WITH THE SWEET ODOURS OF PRAYER...THAT WHICH ARE PRESENTED TO ME BEFORE MY THRONE...

IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THE FIRST ATTEMPT OF AN INFANT'S FIRST WORD...

IT IS A NEW SONG TO ME...THE INNOCENCE OF JUST BECOMING...SPEAKING, WALKING, LIVING, LAUGHING, SINGING, LOVING...

SPIRIT BORN IN FLESH...WORD MADE ALIVE...STRENGTH AND POWER AND MIGHT, WITH SONGS OF JOY AND DELIVERANCE...

YES, WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN...

WHO IS...NOW...ALIVE !

COME BE MY OWN

WHO HAS CUT THE CORDS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM YOU?

WHO HAS TAKEN YOUR JOY AND CROWN?

WHY DO YOU STAND SLUMPED IN DEFEAT...WITH YOUR HEAD BOWED IN SHAME?...

THOSE YOU HAVE GIVEN YOUR ALLEGIANCE TO...HAVE BOUND YOU WITH THE TORN AND TATTERED REMNANTS OF OLD GLORY...

THOSE WHICH THEY THEMSELVES TORE FROM THE PAGES OF MY COVENANT WITH YOUR FOREFATHERS...

THEY HAVE ROBBED AND PLUNDERED MY LAWS AND STATUTES THAT SET THE BOUNDS OF TYRANNY...

AND ESTABLISHED THE ORDER OF FREEDOM...

IT HAS BEGUN...

THE APPOSING CAMPS OF POLITICAL,SOCIAL, ECONOMIC,AND RELIGIOUS ISSUES...ARE BEING ARMED TO FIGHT AGAINST THEMSELVES...

YOU TRADED YOUR FAMILIES AND YOUR COMMUNITIES, AND THE NATION FOR A MORSEL...

YES...YOUR VERY INHERITANCE, IS GIVEN UNTO ANOTHER...WHO IS EXHAUSTING YOU PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, SPIRITUALLY...

YOUR CONSCIENCE HAS BEEN SEARED WITH DELUDING VANITIES...THE SENSE OF FALSE PROTECTION...LYING PROMISES...AND PRIDE'S FALSE HUMILITY...

YOU WALK IN THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY...AND STAND IN THE WAY OF SINNERS...

YOU SIT PASSIVELY WITH THE SCORNFUL, AND NO LONGER TAKE DELIGHT IN MY LAW...

YOU ARE A TREE PULLED UP BY IT'S ROOTS...A TREE WHICH I MYSELF PLANTED BESIDE THE WATERS OF LIFE...TO BRING FORTH IN IT'S SEASON...

YOUR PROSPERITY WILL TURN TO NOTHING...EVEN AS THE CHAFF WHICH THE WIND BLOWS AWAY...

NOW...DO THE HEATHEN RAGE...AND THE NATIONS IMAGINE A VAIN THING...

THEY ALL SET THEIR MINDS TO COME AGAINST ME AND MY ANOINTED...

SHALL YOU MAKE LEAGUE WITH THEM?

DON'T YOU YET KNOW THAT THE UNGODLY WILL PERISH?

LISTEN TO THEM SAYING, "LET US BREAK THEIR BANDS ASUNDER...AND CAST AWAY THEIR CORDS FROM US"...

NOW...LISTEN AGAIN!...FOR HE WHO RULES IN HEAVEN LAUGHS...HE WILL HAVE THEM IN DERISION...THEY SHALL BE VEXED AT MY POWERFUL WORDS OF WRATH AND DISPLEASURE...

EVEN NOW YOU QUESTION, "WHAT HAVE I DONE TO REQUIRE GOD'S WRATH AND DISPLEASURE?"

I TELL YOU THIS, "MY WITNESS IS IN YOU...AND YOU WITNESS NOT OF ME WITHOUT COMPROMISE...MY SANCTUARY IS BECOME AN ABOMINATION UNTO ME...THE SKIRTS OF MY BRIDE ARE STAINED WITH FILTH AND CORRUPTION...WHO SHALL DELIVER HER?

I AM COME...AND SHE SHALL BE WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE...MARK MY WORD THIS DAY!

I AM GOD...EVEN YOUR GOD...I HAVE CALLED YOU UNTO MYSELF...A PERSONAL TREASURE...I WILL KEEP WHAT IS MINE...

THIS DAY IN YOUR EARS, I TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE MADE A PIG TROTH OUT OF MY TREASURED VESSELS...

YOU OFFER EVERY ABOMINATION...INSTEAD OF MY LIVING BREAD...

YOU BREAK THE BREAD AND DRINK THE WINE IN THE MIDST OF SHAME...

I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE...AND I BREAK IN PIECES, MINISTERING MY WORD UNTO YOU...I POUR OUT MY LIFE THROUGH YOU...BUT YOUR OFFERINGS ARE NOT OF MY RIGHTEOUSNESS BUT UNCLEAN...

BE WISE...MY TREASURED POSSESSION...

COME TO ME AND BE INSTRUCTED IN MY RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE...

SERVE ME WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING...

TURN NOW! BEFORE IT IS TO LATE...FOR I HAVE SET YOU APART, UNTO MYSELF...I WILL NOT SHARE YOU WITH ANOTHER...I AM A HOLY GOD, AND A JEALOUS GOD...A LOVING GOD...THE ONLY GOD...THOUGH THERE BE MANY gods.

CHOOSE TODAY...RIGHT NOW...WHO YOU WILL GIVE YOUR ALLEGIANCE TO...

COME BE MY OWN...
