Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9

THE MEASURE OF THE CROSS

 

The Cross of Christ encompasses ALL things. In particular it brings the whole race in Adam to an end, and it begins an entirely new race in Christ risen!
Our God is become that consuming fire of the Alter of His Son Christ Jesus.
The letter to the Romans presents the Cross there in its full measure.
The Cross of Christ is the alter to which each of us must go to lay our lives in surrender to Him. It is a place where the natural and carnal man must come. Jesus said that flesh and blood could not enter into the Kingdom of God.
What does that say of Jesus of Nazareth who was flesh and blood? He himself suffered the pouring out of His life’s blood, becoming the first born of those risen from the dead.

How can we compromise the Way, the Truth and His life for anything less than following Him into the requirements and full apprehension of His perfect will and purpose for our lives?
Nothing that flows out of the flesh will secure our right and relationship to the risen Christ. It is only at the Cross where we can be filled with the streaming flow of His precious blood for ministry of any kind. It is a ministry which flows from a broken and humbled vessel, from the least to the greatest.
The Cross of Christ defies making Christianity into a legal system of bondage. For the Church is built outside of time and the world.
The Cross of Christ is applied to all that spoils the harmony of the Body of Christ. There is an excruciating dislocation within the Body when there is discord like yeast __it ferments until the whole Church is filled with self interest and pride, offence and un-forgiveness, until there is nothing left but a false spirituality that is left to make merchandise of the things of God.
Anything that we add to the Cross, makes Christ less than He is. Again I say, “It is at the cross, the alter, where we find the ALL_NESS of Christ for our lives. He becomes our spiritual strength, supported by a sound mind, grounded in truth and righteousness. He is our inspiration, our hope and eternal salvation. Not because I have told you so, not because you heard a sermon of this truth, but because when we take hold of this Spirit Word by faith, we will experience the reality of the new nature of His life in us, His mind through the gift of the Holy Spirit that will reveal Him more and more to us as we come seeking Him in ALL things.
The full measure of the Cross brings us to Christ’s Kingdom which dwells within us, to overcoming, to victory in Jesus, our Messiah.
Now All things relate to our inner life. It touches our nature, our conduct, order and ministry. (Ministry to our family, friends, community and nation). We will manifest the rule of His kingdom effectively and eternally to the pulling down of strongholds, by letting Christ reign from the Alter of His sacrifice for our lives. It is the place where the fire will come down before many witnesses and consume that which is false and would challenge the WORD among God’s people.
Run to the Alter of the Lord, run to the Cross, let Him crucify your flesh, for only the truly crucified will walk in the Spirit, will partake of the things of His kingdom, will be defended and kept from the things of this world.
This is not doctrine. I’m not preaching. It is a place of redemption, it is a place of power, it is a “real” experience of crisis and revolution, it is where the most important decision of your life will be made. Everything will be shaken, overturned, and in some ways a reversal of what you have been taught and have known.
I pray that what I have shared will draw and motivate you to investigate the tremendous and personal invitation that is yours in approaching the One who is perpetually waiting to make you His own. To make you alive by the blood of His sacrifice __by the full measure of His Cross. All our love, _ Mr. Moses and Dove  (Shebet)

THE SOUL'S ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR ONE MORE EMBRACE



HOW IS IT THAT YOU RISE IN MY SOUL...EVEN AS THE SUN BREAKS THROUGH A RAGING STORM?HOW IS IT, THAT THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND IS LIKE A WARM EMBRACE...OR THE WIND THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE, COME AND GONE...LEAVING ME MORE ALIVE THAN EVER BEFORE?
PROMISE AFTER PROMISE...YOU REMAIN...YOU WAIT...YOU RESTORE.

I AM SATISFIED IN YOUR KEEPING
I AM LOST WITHOUT THIS MOMENTS PRESENCE OF YOU
MY THOUGHTS RUN FROM ONE TO THE NEXT...
"LORD, LORD...EVEN MY GOD."
MY BREATHING IN, MY BREATHING OUT
THEN I GASP FOR AIR WHEN I CAN'T HEAR YOUR VOICE...
WHEN I CAN'T TASTE THE SWEETNESS OF YOUR WORD...YOUR UNMISTAKABLE WORD...
THE LIFE GIVING SOURCE OF MY BEING
THE JOY OF MY SALVATION


MY ONE TRUE LOVE.

I'M ALWAYS AMAZED AT HOW YOU SHEPHERD THE DAY.

AT BREAKFAST, MR MOSES AND I DISCUSSED THE DISCONTENT WE FEEL SO MUCH OF THE TIME...

WHY?

WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR...WE LACK NOTHING...WE ENJOY EACH OTHER...LOVE EACH OTHER...SHARE YOU TOGETHER...WE ENJOY OUR RETIREMENT TOGETHER...

WHY?

ALL THROUGH THE DAY I ASK MYSELF THIS QUESTION...

AND IT COMES DOWN TO THIS...FOR ME, LORD

MY SOUL IS ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR ONE MORE EMBRACE...THE FEEL OF THE YOUR LOVING ARMS ENFOLDING ME...

THAT (((KNOWING OF YOU)))...THAT REST THAT COMES FROM YOUR ALL ABIDING PRESENCE...

THAT JOY THAT IS UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF YOUR GLORY...NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES...BUT THAT WHICH IS FOUND IN YOU, AND YOU ALONE...

BLESSED ARE YOUR EVERLASTING ARMS...

SOUL SONG OF CHRISTMAS


Lord, All I can think about this Christmas is how little I have to give to you.  The one gift you did give to me that gave me the greatest joy and pleasure to give back, was my voice, to sing praises to your name, to tell the wondrous story of your birth, life, death and glorious reserrection.  

Now the only voice I have comes from a heart that groans with longing to minister unto you the love that you have and are giving to me every day, pressed down and running over.  Blessings you set upon the table in the presence of my enemies,  the oil of gladness that fills my heart with the assurance that I will dwell in your house forever.  

I ask this one thing, my Lord.  That those who do not have the specific gift which you have measured out to others, to play and instrument, or sing in tune like the thrill of your song birds...may come asking that you play upon their heart strings the melodies of your Spirit, that their own spirits may soar to the heights of your love and minister what joy you are, what grace you are, what majesty, and power...

Be praised in Spirit and in Truth...let our songs be acceptable in your hearing, a worthy gift of our praise...our soul's song to you...  It is Christmas, especially in our hearts......"Happy Birthday Lord"

Tuesday, December 18, 2012


 
Lord;
I've heard testimony of those who have heard the songs of creation...each in their kingdom join together in singing your praises, from the smallest to the greatest...

The orbs in space sing together, the trees clap their hands, the flowers bloom their fragrance and vibrate in miriads of color and glorious praise...

The birds thrill with the dawn and greet you with their song...and Oh the harmony of it all...
The wonderful "Living gifts of life" are passed by, by so many of today's generation....they have become deaf..., blind...and unmoved...

How is it possible that they have become so callous to the abundant Life all around them? How is it that we look no further than our own wants and needs...missing the testimonial display of your gifts that have come down to us, out of your loving heart, dear Father of Lights?
You gave me life, that I might commune with you, bless you and praise you...yes...But you did it out of your LOVE nature, your Holy Spirit nature, that desires to be at one with your creation...
In this moment let my full attention give you praise...honor and glory to your name...I join with all of creation as we wait for the manifestation of the sons of God...All of creation groans to be released Lord...
Until then, I will glory in the testiment of your loving grace, in the beauty of the rose, the rush of a gentle breeze, the sound of a bird greeting the dawn, and strain to hear the singing of numberless stars in distant galaxies...
"In the beginning was the WORD, and WORD was with God, and the WORD was God...Be praised, and honored and glorified in all of Heaven and Earth...let everything that has breath praise YOU, let the rocks and rills, the rushing waters, and every heavenly host give YOU the praise you are due".............AMEN

Bethlehem morning - Rosa Battista


FAITH IN HIS DISCERNIBLE WORD

 



There seems to be so many voices without and within that give challenge to our faith in Christ. Heavy of the word FAITH___We know that the scriptures tell us that Faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
I believe that there is a faith that is of the mind and will of man. It is self centered, blind and deaf to the Way, Truth and Life of Christ. It is at enmity with the Word of God, and if it were possible, the very elect would be deceived by its subtle and yet toxic proximity to the Truth, it is a surrogate mother's child.
I fear, lest I touch God's anointed, or presume to know the heart or mind of any man. But I fear too, those who proclaim to speak in His name and turn the hearts of God's people who have itching ears, and follow after the pied-piper of false prophecy and man made doctrines.We must turn our hearts and minds to the Living and sure WORD. We must learn to hear with the spiritual ear of the new creation man. To be sensitive to his still small voice, and follow no other, even in the face of ridicule and hostility. Though men grind their teeth in rejection of a still and waiting spirit, one who is a rest in the Lord, and His ability to lead and guide the simplest and weakest of vessels in the work of Faith,___let them grind on, for it is written, "man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."
It is a Word that is discernible to the heart, mind and spirit of every believer that waits in still repose to hear the Holy Spirit reveal Christ and His will in us.Can we get out of range, out of hearing distance, of the Word of God?___I fear so, therefore beloved of Christ, in all earnest proceed to seek Him out__The Way, the Truth and the Life.____

BORN, RISEN AND COMING AGAIN

                               
LORD YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL ___ I SEE THE BEAUTY OF AN ARTIST'S EXPRESSION OF YOU IN THEIR INTERPRETATION OF YOUR HUMANITY ___I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT YOU IN REALITY. 

I SEE YOUR BEAUTY IN THE MOST UNLOVELY ONES WHO WORSHIP YOU IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.  WHO MANIFEST THE GLORY AND PRESENCE OF YOUR LOVE, PATIENCE, GRACE AND GENEROSITY BEYOND MEASURE.

I SEE THE BEAUTY OF YOUR OWN EXPRESSION IN THE WORKMANSHIP OF YOUR HANDS.  THE VAST GALAXIES AND ALL THEREIN.  HEAVENLY HOSTS, ANGELS AND SAINTS MADE PERFECT.

YOU ARE AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL.

WORDS CANNOT TELL.

YES ___YOU ARE AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL LORD,  EVEN MY GOD!!!
 

               PROCRASTINATION AND COMPROMISING THE TRUTH 















LORD__CARRY ME AWAY BEYOND MYSELF TODAY. THAT PLACE WHERE
HUMAN LOVE CANNOT FLY.
MY LOVE ONLY TRIES TO BE WISE__SENSIBLE AND ENDS UP CALCULATING.

I TRY TO BE CAREFUL AND COMPROMISING__AVOIDING CONFRONTATION,
AND YET AT THE EXPENSE OF DENYING YOUR HOLINESS AND UNCOMPROMISING WORD.

THE TRUE NATURE OF  (YOUR)  LOVE DELIVERS ME FROM THE SUBTLENESS OF PERSONAL AFFECTION.IT DOES NOT HAVE THE AROMA OR TASTE OF DUTY, USEFULNESS, OR REWARD__
NOTHING BEYOND THE FACT THAT I LOVE YOU.

YOU HAVE BEEN CHASTISING ME IN YOUR LOVE__
OVER MY TENDENCY TO PROCRASTINATE IN WHAT I KNOW IS YOUR WORD. CONCERNING SERVICE__   (((AM I OF REAL VALUE?))) ....Am I Real?

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

!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THIS!!!!___
YOU ARE THE GREAT ((( I AM))) !!!!

THE ENEMY OF MY SOUL IS ALWAYS BRINGING MY THOUGHTS TO DOUBT, SAYING__” AM I?”
LORD__ I SEE!   IT’S TIME FOR ME TO COME OUT OF THE DESERT OF THE TRIALS OF WHO I AM__EVEN AS YOU WERE TESTED CONCERNING WHO YOU WERE.


IT IS THE ACCEPTANCE OF WHO WE ARE IN YOU THAT GIVES US THE FAITH AND CONFIDENCE TO TALK THE TALK AND WALK THE WALK OF FAITH.

I SHOULD BE DOING__(((FAITH)))
IN MY THINKING__MY RELATIONSHIPS__MY RESPONSIBILITIES__MY WORSHIP
IN THE SIMPLE, EVERYDAY HUMAN THINGS       THAT LET YOUR TOUCH BE MADE KNOWN__YOUR VOICE__THE WORD BEING MADE ALIVE IN ME.

THIS IS THE EVIDENCE OF MY ABANDONMENT TO YOU__AND MY REST.

NOT MY PERSONAL HOLINESS__CAUGHT IN THE NET OF HOW OTHERS PERCEIVE ME__OR EVEN A MORBID SENSE OF FEAR THAT YOU LORD ARE NOT PLEASED IN WHAT I SAY OR DO.

LET YOUR LOVE FREE ME OF EVER DOUBTING YOUR LOVE IN ANY WAY__

AM I ABANDONED TO YOUR LOVE?__
DO I TRUST FOR YOUR LOVE?__
CAN I FLY ON WINDS OF FAITH, SOARING THE HEIGHTS__WITHOUT THE LEAST THOUGHT OF THE MOTIONS OF WINGS__FEELING THE RUSH OF THE THERMALS LIFTING ME HIGHER, HIGHER STILL?

LORD__LET MY HOPE IN YOU BE PURIFIED__NOT IN THE STRAIN OF PROVING ANYTHING__BUT THE EARNEST DESIRE OF DYING TO MYSELF__
NOT IN THE WORK OF DYING__
FOR BY YOUR GRACE,  I AM MORE THAN A CONQUEROR__
BECAUSE OF YOUR GREAT AND MERCIFUL LOVE.

THE I AM ____HE IS

I CAN REMEMBER AS A SMALL GIRL, LOOKING UP INTO THE SKY AND THINKING, "WHAT ARE THOSE LIGHTS DOING UP THERE?" TO THIS DAY, THE SKY LOOKS FLAT TO ME. NOT DEEP AND DIMENSIONAL. I'VE NEVER SAW THE POINT OF EXPLORING TO THE EXTENT THAT SOME DO. I'M MORE IN AWE OF THEIR DRIVE TO VENTURE INTO OUTER SPACE THAN I AM IN SPACE ITSELF. MAYBE I SHOULD RE FRAZE WHAT I JUST SAID. I AM COMPLETELY IN AWE OF GOD'S CREATION, IN ALL DOMAINS, THE HEAVENS INCLUDED. BUT THE GREATER MYSTERY OF UNCHARTED SPACE THAT I FIND TO BE WORTHY OF EXPLORATION, IS THE HUMAN SOUL. 

WHAT IS IT WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF PRECIOUS LIFE ON THIS PLANET? WE'D ONLY INFECT ANOTHER LIKE OUR OWN WITH ALL THE DISREGARD WE HAVE FOR THIS ONE.

THE SKY, HAS NEVER BEEN UP TO ME, THE UNCONQUERED GALAXIES OF THE MIND AND HEART IS UP. THOUGH THERE IS ORDER IN OUTER SPACE, IT IS THE CONTROLLED CHAOS OF SOMETHING THAT WENT REALLY WRONG IN IONS PAST. IT IS ALSO THE BIRTHING GROUND OF GOD THE CREATOR'S DIVINE WORK OF CONCILIATION AND ORDER BEING RESTORED.

EVEN SO, THE FURTHER REACHES OF THE INNER SPACE OF MAN, FAR SUPERSEDE THE EXPANDING SKIES ABOVE US. THE OUTPOSTS OF SPACE ARE FILLED WITH PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS THAT WERE CAST OUT INTO WHAT I UNDERSTAND TO BE "OUTER DARKNESS". AND ONE DAY, KINGS AND PRIESTS OF THE LORD, ALONG WITH SAINTS MADE PERFECT WILL RULE THESE STRONGHOLDS NOW UNDER SIEGE BY THE CAST OUT god OF THE AIR.

IN A BEGINNING, THE ELOHIM GOD CAME TO SET HIS WORK IN THE MIDST OF THIS FORMLESS AND VOID PLANET THAT WAS A RESULT OF SOME CATASTROPHIC EVENT WHICH CAUSED THE EARTH TO BE CAST FROM IT'S ORIGINAL PLACE AND STATE, INTO THE DARK REGIONS WHERE IT IS NOW.

IT WAS THE FIRST ADAM RACE, WHICH WAS PLANTED IN THE GARDEN OF GOD UPON THE EARTH, THAT WERE CHOSEN AS THE SEED TO RESTORE THE NUMBERLESS HOSTS OF BEINGS THAT WERE A PART OF THE  GREAT CATASTROPHE.

THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE UNTOLD DAMAGE TO GOD'S ORDER, WAS QUARANTINED ON EARTH, AND IN THE LIVING GOD'S PLAN WAS THE CONCILIATION OF ALL THINGS IN THE END OF THE AGES. CHRIST CAME TO SET UP THE BATTLE LINE, AND HIS BANNER OVER US IS LOVE. SATAN WAS CAST OUT OF THE EARTH, IN WAYS WE ARE NOT AWARE OF WHEN CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED.  YET WAS THE MIND AND HEART LEFT CORRUPTED, AS WAS THE FLESH AND BLOOD.  THE REAL BATTLE GROUND OF SATAN IS THE HUMAN HEART. 

I DO NOT CLAIM TO KNOW OR UNDERSTAND THE PATIENCE OF THE LIVING GOD. FOR IN THE RESTORATION OF HIS CREATION, HE IS ALWAYS WORKING TO CONCILIATE THE HEART OF MAN, WHICH WAS THE ONE DOMAIN THAT LUCIFER TRIED TO TAKE UNTO HIMSELF, BUT THE ETERNAL CREATOR GOD, IN THE ALPHA AND OMEGA OF HIS BEING HAS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING MADE ALL THINGS SUBJECT TO FUTILITY, BY REASON OF HIS OWN FORE-KNOWLEDGE AND WILL. IT WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THE VICTORIOUS SETTING UP OF HIS KINGDOM IN THE DEEPEST REGIONS OF THE HEARTS OF MEN. ONE SOUL AT A TIME, HOW EVER LONG IT TAKES, IT IS NO TIME AT ALL TO OUR GOD. FOR HE HIMSELF IS THE LIGHT THAT SHINES IN US REVEALING THIS TRUTH. WHEN THE HUMAN HEART AND MIND IS SET FREE THROUGH REDEMPTION OF THE BLOOD______

REDEMPTION OF THE BLOOD? THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD. I'VE HEARD SERMONS ON IT, SANG SONGS ABOUT IT, ASKED GOD QUESTIONS ABOUT IT___EXACTLY WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FIND SALVATION THROUGH THE POWER OF THE SHED BLOOD OF CHRIST.

WELL FIRST OF ALL WE ARE NOT PRIVY TO THE DETAILS OF THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE SPIRIT OF FATHER GOD AND THE WILLFUL VAIN AND MATTER FORMED CREATURE CALLED LUCIFER WHO WOULD, AND DOES WANT TO SET HIMSELF UP TO BE GOD. YES, GOD OF THE HEAVENS, GOD OF THE EARTH, AND GOD OF THE HUMAN HEART.

HE KNOWS THAT HE CAN NEVER RULE THE HEAVENS AS GOD IF HE DOES NOT RULE THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF MAN FIRST. AFTER ALL, HE CANNOT RULE IN SPIRIT, HE HAS NONE, IT IS DEAD. AND WHEN HE SEES A HEART THAT IS SURRENDERED TO LOVE, AND GOD IS LOVE AND LIFE ETERNAL___ HE WILL DO ALL HE CAN TO SEEK OUT THAT SOUL TO KILL AND DESTROY IT__BECAUSE LOVE IS EVERYTHING THAT LUCIFER IS NOT. NOR IS IT IN HIM TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT HE IS.

IN A BEGINNING, WHAT EVER HE DID TO CAUSE THE DISRUPTION OF THE HEAVENS, WHAT EVER HE DID IN THE GARDEN OF GOD, IT CONGEALED AND EFFECTED THE LIGHT OF SPIRIT IN THE ADAM RACE, WHO FELL INTO THE DARK REGIONS OF THE MIND AND SOUL. THE TRINITY OF GODS IMAGE OF HIM WAS DISRUPTED THROUGH DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WORD, AND THEIR OWN UNDERSTANDING AND INTERPRETATION OF IT, ___ THEY LISTENED TO A STRANGE VOICE AND WAS DECEIVED. THEY COULD NO LONGER SEE AND HEAR SPIRIT, THEY WERE SUDDENLY LOST TO THEMSELVES, AND TO GOD. THEIR SHAME EXPOSED THEM,  THE LIGHT DEPARTED FROM THEM AND TURNED TO BLOOD.   THEREFORE DID THEY APPEAR SEPARATED FROM THE LIGHT THAT FILLED GOD'S GARDEN, AND THEY COULD NOT HIDE.  THEIR FEAR OF GOD EXPOSED THEM. TRUTH NO LONGER REMAINED, IT HAD GONE INTO CAPTIVITY. THEY CAME INTO BONDAGE, SERVING A STRANGE GOD.

THERE IS NO VICTORY, THERE IS NO RULE, THERE IS NO POWER GREATER THAN THAT OF THE SURRENDERED HEART, CLEANSED BY THE SHED BLOOD OF CHRIST.

FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

THIS IS NOT "THUS SAITH THE LORD." BUT TO ME, THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE THAT LUCIFER PRESENTED TO GOD, WAS,   "SEE, THESE TWO WHO HAVE TAKEN  ON MY IMAGE,  WE'LL SEE JUST HOW LONG YOU REMAIN GOD, OR WHO REALLY HAS THE POWER TO RULE THE WILL. FOR I HAVE WILLED AGAINST YOU, AND YOU HAVE LOST THE WILL OF MANY TO MY ALLEGIANCE.

IT'S NOT A KNEW STORY__THE BIBLE IS FULL OF STORIES WHERE THE HUMAN HEART WAS CHALLENGED TO FORSAKE LOVE FOR VANITIES WILL. BUT LUCIFER'S GREATEST MISTAKE ((( UNDOING ))) WAS__

FROM THE VERY BEGINNING GOD HAD PURPOSE IN THE USING OF LUCIFER___WHO THOUGHT HE WAS TEMPTING THE LORD GOD IN HIS HUMAN VULNERABLENESS. THINKING CHRIST TO BE WEAK. AND PRESUMING THAT CHRIST WAS JUST ANOTHER CREATURE TO BE BROUGHT UNDER HIS POWER AND INFLUENCE.

HE DID NOT COMPREHEND THAT THE FULLNESS OF THE GOD-HEAD DWELT IN GOD'S SON, HIS ONLY PRE-EXISTING, GOD BEGOTTEN SON, BIRTHED OUT OF HIS SPIRIT INTO HUMAN FLESH.

GOD HAD COME TO MEET HIS ARCH ENEMY ON HIS OWN SOIL, AND LUCIFER THINKING ON HIS TERMS.

GOD CAME IN THE PERSON OF HIS SON, TO CHANGE THE CONGEALED LIGHT OF HIS SPIRIT IN THE HEART AND MIND OF THE FALLEN ADAM RACE TO LIVING SPRINGS OF WATER, THAT WOULD WELL UP FROM WITHIN TO THE RESTORED LIFE OF GOD'S SPIRIT, THROUGH THE RESURRECTED NEW LIFE OF HIS FIRST BORN OF MANY BRETHREN, THE LAST ADAM.

THE RESTORATION OF HEARING AND SEEING___THOSE SEEDS THAT HAD LAID DORMANT IN MAN BECAUSE OF THE BONDAGE OF SIN UNTO DEATH.___NOW THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE (( OF WHICH WE HAVE NO CLUE )) HAD AND HAS SUDDENLY COME TO SET MEN FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.

IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT GIVES LIFE, THE FLESH COUNTS AS NOTHING, IT BEGINS TO DIE THE DAY IT'S BORN. IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT IS ETERNAL.

IF THE SPIRIT OF GOD THE FATHER, WHO RAISED UP HIS SON JESUS FROM THE DEAD, IS LIVING IN YOU, AS HE HAS RAISED HIM UP FROM THE DEAD, HE WILL ALSO RAISE YOU UP, AND GIVE LIFE TO YOUR MORTAL BODIES THROUGH HIS SPIRIT, WHO LIVES IN YOU.

SO HERE I AM FACING THE FACT THAT IT IS NOT ME BECOMING A SPIRIT BEING WITH ETERNAL LIFE___BUT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT THE POWER OF CHRIST'S RESURRECTION LIFE, WILL BE GIVEN TO MY MORTAL BODY THROUGH HIS SPIRIT LIVING IN ME. CHRIST COME IN FLESH. SOMETHING WONDERFULLY BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION HAS TO CHANGE IN ME, TO CHANGE MY MORTAL BODY.

WELLLLLLLLLLL___THAT'S A HOWDY DO TO ME___AND KINDA A HAIR IN MY BISCUIT. HERE I AM IN MY MORTAL BODY, HAVE ALL THESE INFIRMITIES, FIGHTING DEMONS OF GUILT, DOUBT, UNBELIEF, AND DESPAIR, IN THIS BODY THAT I SAY I HAVE GIVEN OVER TO THE RESURRECTED CHRIST___

LEAN NOT TO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING! ?

FAITH, TRUST, SURRENDER! ?

YES AND AMEN! JUST LIKE THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD DID. RELEASING THE WILL, LEARNING BY CHOICE TO SURRENDER TO THE WILL OF HIS FATHER IN THE FACE OF THAT LIAR WHO PERPETUALLY CHALLENGED CHRIST CONCERNING WHO HE WAS.

IT WAS AND IS THE INNER RECESSES OF THE ETERNAL HEART OF GOD, THE ETERNAL WORD, THE ETERNAL SPIRIT, THAT COULD NOT BE DESTROYED. THAT PART OF THE SON WHICH HAD NO BEGINNING OR END___THAT PART WHICH WAS STEADFAST IN THE FAITH, KNOWLEDGE AND LOVE OF SPIRIT.

THE I AM___HE IS!

LOOK TO YOUR HEART, LOOK UP, FOR WHOM THE SON SETS FREE, IS FREE INDEED. CHRIST IN YOU, YOUR HOPE OF GLORY.

HIS LOVE IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE

 



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60o3UP4Kjwg

Beloved sheep of His pasture...know that our Lord is our God...He is a faithful God who is keeping His covenant of Love. To a thousand generations, his Word says...to those who love Him and keep His commandments.

He is good and His Love endures forever. His faithfulness continues throughout all generations...Psalms 100: 5

Though the mountains shake, and the hills be removed, His unfailing Love for you will not be shaken...nor His covenant of peace be removed...this He has said, this He has promised...the One who has compassion on you...Isaiah 54:10

Has He called you into fellowship with himself? His faithfulness can be trusted...to the faithful, He show himself to be faithful...His precepts are trustworthy...they are steadfast...yes, my beloved...forever and ever...He alone can protect you from the evil one...who goes about to devour whomever he can...

Follow therefore the "Good Shepherd" who keeps His flocks as the apple of His eye.

Turn to Him...run to Him...and if you are in a perilous place, with no way out...Call upon His Name in all faith believing...

He hears...He answers...He will save you to the uttermost...

I See You Lord by Aiza Seguerra


A MORE EXCELLENT SACRIFICE

 
Lord...let the light of your Word shine upon what this vessel releases from the reverberating galaxies of the soul.

Blessed eternal and Holy Spirit...breathe upon the Word your resurrection life.  Let those who have ears, hear.  Let those who have eyes, see.

For even from the beginning, You spoke through your prophet Able, who worshiped You in Spirit and in Truth...with a more excellent sacrifice than his brother Able.  Luke 11: 50... Your light did shine revealing the difference between life and death.  To know You is life. 

You fill me with quietness and peace,  a sure hope and confidence that betrays logic and mortal understanding...You are my faith, the Rock upon which I stand.

Though the heavens and the earth pass away.  Your Word will remain true...it will never pass away.  In this my great desire is to worship You my Lord...with that more excellent sacrifice of praise and devotion that comes from total surrender, and fixed vision of You.

(Man.)..this earthen vessel has sought to worship you from it's labor of it ever since.  Our flesh can never offer up anything of worth to a Holy God.  The works of our hands will never give you praise and glory, from that which was cursed. 

Your darling Lamb...Your blessed and only begotten Lamb which was slain "I declare and give praise and honor and glory too...He is my praise, my honor, my glory....my more excellent sacrifice of praise...that praise which still speaks down through the ages.  That prophetic praise of the prophet Able, declaring the Christ, and every prophet who's blood has been shed from the foundation of the world...even of this generation it shall be required.

What Grace is Mine

 


LORD, I LONG FOR WHAT ONLY MY HEART CAN SEE...YOU FILL ME UP WITH FAITH'S VISION OF IMMEASURABLE AND VAST EXPANSES OF CREATION...I TOO CRY OUT, WHAT IS MY LIFE THAT YOU WOULD EVEN CONSIDER ME...

BUT MY SOUL SEE'S AND KNOWS THAT WHICH MY FLESH MIND CANNOT COMPREHEND.....AND I AM MOVED TO TAKE HOLD OF YOU...AND YOU ALONE.

YOU ARE THE SUN RISE OF MY SOUL, AND BEFORE THE SUN SETS, OR MY EYES CLOSE IN SLEEP...YOU ARE MY LAST THOUGHT, MY LAST CONSCIOUS BREATH, MY ONE DESIRE...

WHAT GRACE IS MINE, THAT YOU ARE EVEN MINDFUL OF ME...I AM YOUR HAND-MAID, YOUR SERVANT LORD...ALL THAT I AM, ALL THAT I SHALL EVER BE, MAY IT BE WORTHY OF YOU MY GOD, TO GIVE YOU GLORY AND HONOR AND PRAISE...AMEN

The Bride...The Sabbath Rest




The Bride...The Sabbath Rest


Lord, when shall I be at Sabbath Rest?...


Betrothed to you in covenant...


inter-twined in Your Lover's embrace...One.


Lost in the oneness of your Spirit,


and the love of the brethren,


where no sense of self separates my desire to minister unto You


In spirit and in Truth...


with praises that fill all galaxies with songs of rejoicing to my God.
