GET THEE WISDOM...

 

SIRACH 2...

1/ My son, when you come to serve the LORD, prepare yourself for trials. 
2/ Be sincere of heart and steadfast, undisturbed in time of adversity. 
3/ Cling to him, forsake him not; thus will your future be great. 
4/ Accept whatever befalls you, in crushing misfortune be patient; 
5/ For in fire gold is tested, and worthy men in the crucible of humiliation. 
6/ Trust God and he will help you; make straight your ways and hope in him.
7/ You who fear the LORD, wait for his mercy, turn not away lest you fall. 
8/ You who fear the LORD, trust him, and your reward will not be lost. 
9/ You who fear the LORD, hope for good things, for lasting joy and mercy. 
10/ Study the generations long past and understand; has anyone hoped in the LORD and been disappointed? Has anyone persevered in his fear and been forsaken? has anyone called upon him and been rebuffed? 
11/ Compassionate and merciful is the LORD; he forgives sins, he saves in time of trouble. 
12/ Woe to craven hearts and drooping hands, to the sinner who treads a double path! 
13/ Woe to the faint of heart who trust not, who therefore will have no shelter! 
14/ Woe to you who have lost hope! what will you do at the visitation of the LORD? 
15/ Those who fear the LORD disobey not his words; those who love him keep his ways. 
16/ Those who fear the LORD seek to please him, those who love him are filled with his law. 
17/ Those who fear the LORD prepare their hearts and humble themselves before him. 
18/ Let us fall into the hands of the LORD and not into the hands of men, For equal to his majesty is the mercy that he shows.

Take this WISDOM, and, set it free to settle deep within your heart, that it becomes a part of who you are, that as the days unfold, you have more advantage to what lies ahead, in body, mind, and, spirit! May *GOD* be as your sight, and, as your breath, and, as the steps you walk, always present, always the TRUST of your existence!!!

BAD COMPANY...

Sometimes in this life, we get hurt, or, we hurt others. That is part of life, unfortunately, but, does not affect LOVE! You see, LOVE is for real, lasting, and, CAN withstand the consequences of human failure in it's capacities! I TRULY LOVE everyone, but, sometimes, I cannot be bound with certain people, because of their actions, and so, it is time to forgive them, then, move on, BUT, my LOVE for them still exists, and, if it came down to it, I would protect them, heal them, or, in general, be there for them, BECAUSE I LOVE them, I simply, may not LIKE them, or, respect the things they say, or do, still, the LOVE I hold for them is never going to alter, as, LOVE IS LOVE!!!

People think that if you are walking with *GOD* that you are without defense, which, should be inclusive to that walk, to an extent, but, because of the things people do, is not quite likely, at least, not all of the time! I can tolerate a whole lot, but, there is a point, especially when it is damaging to me, that I am going to have to cut the ties, and, move on to people who ARE more inclined to righteous behaviours! The WORD itself tells us to remove those who are against us, out to harm us, or, out to poison our advancements! 1 CORINTHIANS 15:33, says, Do not be led astray: "Bad company corrupts good morals."

Some of the people who give us the greatest grief are fellow believers, which makes it very difficult to cut ties with them, HOWEVER, since not ALL believers ARE on track, it should not be surprising that there is conflict, ALTHOUGH, that is part of the point; THERE SHOULD BE NO CONFLICT amongst fellow believers, BECAUSE, IF they LIVED in LOVE, they would NOT gossip, spread lies, slander, degrade, and, other negatives which ARE OUTSIDE of LOVE! While it is difficult, even painful to remove such people from our midst, I am certain it IS the BEST thing to do, that our walk with *GOD* is NOT tainted, as, when you carry around negative baggage, it can bring forth all sorts of conditions, circumstances, and, situations, which HAVE the power to cause you err, eventually, because, we can only take so much before we feel the need to react, and, if it has gone on too long, that reaction could cause you to sin, without you even being aware of it, which means, it is wiser to remove the danger, than to have to recompense for something you were forced into, no matter how innocent you were, IF you reacted in an adverse way, YOU are to blame...

I wish the world could get along, be kind, LOVING, and, respectful, but, we all know that is like a pipe dream! This is the kind of world *GOD* wishes to see too, but, egocentricity has taken the likelihood of this to extremes!!!

Hurting others is not something we should seek to do, nor, partake in, but, it DOES happen. IF we are growing, or, maturing in our spiritual walk, we suffer for these times, whether we did the hurting, or, were the victim! This is when we pray, and, ask *GOD* for guidance! This is when we open up, and, listen to HIS sound reasoning! This is when we learn, forgive, LOVE, and, move on!!!

LET ME EXALT MY *GOD*...

*GOD* has spared, and, salvaged my life, more than a few times, and, has provided for me, when there were NO provisions to be found! HE, alone, has led me to safety, warmth, comfort, and, necessity, while building up in me, a character marked by HIS MIGHTY LOVE!!!

My heartfelt, or, spoken thanks, are NOT enough! I OWE HIM ALL I am, have seen, and, have, as well as the HOPE, and, salvation, HE has granted me, THEREFORE, my SOLE expression of GRATITUDE MUST be to VISIBLY HONOUR HIM with my emotions, thoughts, actions, and, reactions! My EFFORT MUST be SINCERELY CONSTANT, and, CONSISTENT, that it SHINES OUT OF ME, AS GLORY UNTO HIM, my FATHER, my *GOD*, my LORD, my SAVIOUR, my HOLY SPIRIT, my KING, my EVERYTHING!!!

ONLY HE KNOWS from whence I have come, and, what I have experienced, and, ONLY HE KNOWS the depth of my appreciation for HIS hand in EACH of my affairs! STILL, I MUST, out of RESPECT, and, REGARD for HIS LOVING KINDNESS, EXTOL HIS name, BY living IN HIS WAYS, that HIS LOVE IS EXALTED THROUGH what I have become, in HIS name!!!

Thank YOU, FATHER, CREATOR of ALL, and, EVERYTHING, for YOUR HOLY presence, and, arbitration in my lowly life! Thank YOU for RAISING me to more valid levels of worthiness, that I might, somehow, HONOUR YOU in ALL I do, now, and, forever! I am humbled, grateful, appreciative, and, FILLED with YOUR LOVE! I am renewed, almost daily, as I grow into YOUR examples, and, seek out Wisdom, and, Knowledge of YOUR DIVINE WILL! Thank YOU, LORD, my *GOD*, for taking me from there, to here, and, for providing for me, all which I need, that I AM able to proclaim THY name, before all the world! May I never slack, nor, grow weary of PRAISING YOU, for that would be disgrace, as, NOTHING else in existence deserves GLORY but YOU, and, NOTHING else could move me to the point of devotion as YOU have! I LOVE YOU, my FATHER, and, I will continue toward YOU, the rest of the days of my life, sincerely, and, in compliance, out of the recesses of my heart, to pay you courteous deference, which ONLY YOU could bring forth of me!!! AMEN, PRAISE THE name of *GOD* eternally, in ALL ways, ALL existence!!!

BE BUSY SERVING *GOD*...

WHEN we ALIGN to *GOD*, we become TOO BUSY to get into trouble, even though Satan steps up his efforts to trip us up! You see, WHEN we DESIRE to become ONE with *GOD*, there is an ENORMOUS amount to LEARN, so, IF we are SINCERE in our walk with *GOD*, we are SEEKING THAT 'OF', and, FROM *GOD*, therefore, not able to fall into the worldly holds! This DOES NOT mean that we are yet above those worldly holds, but, since we are BUSY learning, then, practicing the *GODLY* lessons we are learning, we are not AS LIKELY to be caught up in the throes of the world!!!

So MUCH to learn, understand, embrace, utilize, and, allow to BECOME ONE with our spirit! Especially since most of us waste our youth, then, SEE that HIS WAY IS 'THE' WAY!!!

We have to learn LOVE, not carnal LOVE, but, HOLY LOVE! We have to learn FEAR of HIM! We have to learn to HUMBLE ourselves, surrender, and, submit to HIM! We have to learn to overcome the 7 deadly sins, and, replace them with the 7 VIRTUES! We have to UNDERSTAND the 7 GIFTS of the HOLY SPIRIT, and, MUCH, MUCH MORE, ALL in whatever time remains of our short existence, THAT we ARE WORTHY of HIS GRACE, HIS MERCY, and, HIS GIFT of SALVATION!!!

MANY of you will argue, and, say that BECAUSE HE granted you salvation, you do not have to prove yourselves worthy! This just doesn't make sense to me, BECAUSE, WHEN you were BAPTIZED into CHRIST, YOU DIED of the world, and, have risen IN HOLINESS with HIM, THEREFORE, does that NOT imply that YOU ARE TO BECOME HOLY? Not ONLY THAT, but, *GOD* said (1 PETER 1:16), "BE HOLY, BECAUSE I AM HOLY! Not ONLY that, which SHOULD be enough to convince you, but, you SHOULD WANT TO become HOLY, that YOU ARE, IRREVOCABLY, and, INCORRUPTIBLY ONE with CHRIST, *GOD*, that NO ONE, NOR, ANYTHING could possibly, NOT EVER, TAKE YOU FROM THAT PRIVILEGE, THAT HEIGHTENED STATE, WHICH COULD HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY IN THE END TIMES, as it is written, that even the FAITHFUL CAN weary of waiting, of aligning, and, become weakened in their stance!

Look at MATTHEW 24:42-51...
42/    Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43/    But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44/    Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45/    Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46/    Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47/    Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48/    But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49/    And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50/    The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51/    And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth...

People, you are ONLY as safe AS THE EFFORTS you put forth! You know, and, I know, that people tend to slack in MANY areas of their lives in the OVER CONFIDENCE of their salvation! I HAVE SEEN FAITH being shredded to near disbelief! I have seen the bonds the world has on MANY of the Children of *GOD*! I have SEEN, and, HEARD MANY things which INDICATE a LACK of EFFORT from the VERY people whom PROFESS being ONE WITH *GOD*, and so, take a good, long look at YOUR EFFORTS, that you ARE amongst those returning home, even IF you think you are already there, the WORD IN THE NEW TESTAMENT instructs us to,
2 TIMOTHY 2:1-7...
1/    So you, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2/    And what you heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will have the ability to teach others as well.
3/    Bear your share of hardship along with me like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4/    To satisfy the one who recruited him, a soldier does not become entangled in the business affairs of life.
5/    Similarly, an athlete cannot receive the winner's crown except by competing according to the rules.
6/    The hardworking farmer ought to have the first share of the crop.
7/    Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything...

DON'T you SEE that when you become OVERLY CONFIDENT, and, OVERLY ASSURED of your stance, THE DECEIVER will be right there? Don't you see that IF your EFFORTS are NOT CONTINUOUS, you are prone to slacking, thus, to dangers???
Look at HEBREWS 2:1-3...
 1/    Therefore, we must attend all the more to what we have heard, so that we may not be carried away.
2/    For if the word announced through angels proved firm, and every transgression and disobedience received its just recompense,
3/    how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? Announced originally through the Lord, it was confirmed for us by those who had heard...

2 TIMOTHY 3:14-17...
14/    But you, remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it,
15/    and that from infancy you have known (the) sacred scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16/    All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17/    so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work...

I only wish that everyone could SEE the IMPORTANCE of BECOMING, TRULY, ONE WITH *GOD*, as life IS easier, and, the path to salvation is all the more secure!!!

LIVE IN THE WORD, USE it as FOOD, and, DRINK, and, LET IT take over ALL of your growth! Let it be your senses, your intellect, your EVERYTHING, and, you WILL be able to ARISE FROM the world!!!

IN *GOD* there is ONLY wholesome goodness, thus, all things right, and, positive, therefore, it IS worth ALL of your EFFORT to align, adhere, and, comply with HIS WAY, as, it removes all else, though, all else is clanging, clamoring, and, chanting OUTSIDE, trying desperately to lure you! A life IN *GOD*, silences all opposition, and, secures you from it's existence!!!

SEEK NOT RICHES OF THIS WORLD

Seek NOT riches, fame, or, other pleasures of the world, INSTEAD, SEEK *GOD* FIRST, with ALL your heart, and, HE WILL give to you what you have not asked for; riches, and, honour...

NEVER forget, be careful what you wish for! If you wish for riches, that could well be your lot, and, you will NOT be considered of *GOD*! IN ALL RESPECTS, SEEK *GOD*, our LORD, FIRST, with ALL your being, and, FAITHFULLY TRUST, and, BELIEVE that HE WILL PROVIDE for your every need, and, add to your bounty, BECAUSE of your FAITHFULNESS!!!

ALL things of this life are temporal, they will NOT provide for any length of time, so, choose wisely, by placing *GOD* FIRST, then, watch as HE unleashes in your life!!!

WHATEVER IS OF *GOD* is GOOD, whatever HE gives IS GOOD, there is no wrong, nor, bad, FROM *GOD*, whereas, that of the world, has potential to go bad, even if it seems, initially, that it is founded in that which is good!!!

*GOD* DOES NOT, and, CANNOT LIE, IF HE SAYS to seek HIM first, and, HE WILL provide for you, and, add to your life, BELIEVE it, and, place ALL your FAITH in HIM! HE IS THE MOST SURE EXISTENCE THERE IS, do NOT doubt!!!

WHY ARE WE SO SELFISH? DOES FREE WILL PLAY INTO OUR SELFISHNESS???

Why are we so selfish? Does free will play into our selfishness???

To begin to answer this question, we have to, first, understand that *GOD* did NOT CREATE selfishness in HIS people; the deceiver has instilled this far reaching characteristic into the heart of the mind, that egocentric center, of confusion, delusion, and, over blown assumption that SELF has rights to assert as HIGH as is *GOD* HIMSELF, which then, renders us weak enough to fall into the snares of deception, further, and, further, until it SEEMS probable, that we ARE as important as we think we are!!!

Don't get me wrong, YOU ARE important, even, imperative to *GOD*, and, to the course of HIS DIVINE plan, YET, NOT in the sense of egocentric worth, instead, as a SELFLESS contributor to fulfillment OF HIS plan, in whatever capacity HE HAS DETERMINED for your existence!!!

To imagine that you are FREE, and, SEPARATED from *GOD* is senselessness, pure senselessness, as, ALL IN EXISTENCE IS BECAUSE of *GOD*!!!

HE gave us free will, but, let us try to understand free will, though it is intellectually challenging to the way WE think! The definition for free will is, The power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one's own discretion. Those who are of *GOD* KNOW that this is not the case, ALTHOUGH, EACH being HAS been given the right to believe that they are OF *GOD*, or, not! To those who are not of *GOD*, this definition is accurate. For those of *GOD*, it is way too narrow of an explanation for the necessity of free will...

Here is MY OWN OPINION concerning free will! I believe that, as we grow into ourselves, the journey along the way, was pretty free, in that, we did this, that, and, whatever we wanted, without too much regard to what we were doing, in terms of the END, but, as we mature, spiritually, we see that this so called freedom, was, and, is, an anchor to the world! *GOD* wants HIS Children to WANT to BE WITH HIM, HE does not HAVE to force us to be with HIM, HE wants SINCERE beings who 'GET IT', and, KNOW that HE IS LIFE! By giving us free will, HE can prove the righteous, and, condemn those who believe the world holds their happiness, power, and, so forth, ALTHOUGH, even some of the condemned, WILL be given one last chance on that day of reckoning to profess HIS name, and, to repent!!!

Let's look at this explanation I found, while researching:
The problem of free will assumed quite a new character with the advent of the Christian religion. The doctrine that God has created man, has commanded him to obey the moral law, and has promised to reward or punish him for observance or violation of this law, made the reality of moral liberty an issue of transcendent importance. Unless man is really free, he cannot be justly held responsible for his actions, any more than for the date of his birth or the colour of his eyes. All alike are inexorably predetermined for him. Again, the difficulty of the question was augmented still further by the Christian dogma of the fall of man and his redemption by grace. St. Paul, especially in his Epistle to the Romans, is the great source of the Catholic theology of grace....

And this by Protestant Reformers:   the Council of Trent declared that the free will of man, moved and excited by God, can by its consent co-operate with God, Who excites and invites its action; and that it can thereby dispose and prepare itself to obtain the grace of justification. The will can resist grace if it chooses. It is not like a lifeless thing, which remains purely passive. Weakened and diminished by Adam's fall, free will is yet not destroyed in the race...

There are philosophical, theological, religious, pragmatic, and, all sorts of explanations of free will, so, it would take a great deal of time, and, study, and, reflection to determine exactly what free will entails. HOWEVER, we can assess that free will is choice in moral freedom, with a choice between good, or, evil, right, or, wrong, *GOD*, or, the world!!! You can read more about this if you click on GOD in the above paragraph, it IS an interesting read!!!

Anyway, back to the discussion at hand!

HE gave us free will, YES, but, NOT for exaggeration of SELF! NO! Free will is as a TOOL to REACH, and, to TEACH us, whether BEFORE, DURING, or, AFTER experiencing the length of the spectrum; right, and, wrong; that we 'SEE' that HIS WAY, IS THE WAY, and, to HONE us into STRONG examples of HIS reality, TRUTH! Free will shall exalt the righteous, and, mark those who are of the world, for it is written, those who are of the world are NOT of *GOD*, thus, they have chosen, via free will, their reality, their end!!!

We are selfish BECAUSE of DECEPTION, and, LACK OF LOVE, or, understanding of LOVE'S empowerment. *GOD* IS LOVE, LOVE IS WHOLESOMELY GOOD, FULLY BENEFICIAL, and, ABLE TO OVERCOME ALL WHICH IS IN OPPOSITION to wholesome goodness, especially, self/selfishness!!!

The egocentric chatter of our mind, which, seemingly, encourages us to be ALL we can be, is negatively founded, and, motivated, as it IS leading us AWAY FROM the TRUTH, *GOD*, BY convincing us that WE HAVE, by right, the POWER, to determine our destiny, alter that destiny, and, so forth, HOWEVER, the REALITY IS, ONLY *GOD* HAS THIS POWER, even though, we have been given the choice, in most instances, to BELIEVE, either, in HIM, or, in self/the world! It IS a testing ground to prove the worthy!!!

Selfishness is LACK of submission to *GOD*, a lack of surrendering unto HIS WILL, and, craving the fleeting power of holding our own fate in our hands, which is redundant, as, again, ALL IN EXISTENCE resides in HIS WILL, thus, HIS hands!!!

LEARN *GOD*, HIS LOVE, the full breadth of that LOVE, and, how to distinguish between misleading, egocentric chatter, and, the voice of THE SPIRIT, then, if THE SPIRIT is the voice of reason you tune into, you WILL be led away from selfishness, indeed! LEARN HUMILITY, and, KNOW that you ARE of *GOD*, CREATED 'FOR' HIS DIVINE PURPOSE, and, use your free will for advantage, not loss!!!

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.” (Deuteronomy 30:19)

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15)

“Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.” (Proverbs 3:31)

“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17)

WHERE THERE IS *GOD'S* LOVE, THERE 'IS' BROTHERHOOD!!!

It is not my way, nor, my style to post what has already been published, except for the WORD, but, as I was reading the WORD last night, I was drawn to this special little book, and, found this gem, which I feel so strongly about I just have to share!

Two things are hard on the heart--running upstairs, and, running down people!!!

Wouldn't this world be better,
If folks whom we meet would say,
"I know something good about you,"
And treat you just that way?
Wouldn't it be splendid,
If each handshake, good, and, true,
Carried with it this assurance;
"I know something good about you?"
Wouldn't life be happier,
If the good that's in us all,
Were the only about us,
That people would recall?
Wouldn't our days be sweeter,
If we praised the good we see?
For there is a lot of goodness,
In the worst of you and me.
Wouldn't it be fine to practice,
This way of thinking too;
You know something good about me,
I know something good about you?
Since we can never know, or, tell the full story about any other human being, why not just skip to the good highlights???

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. EPHESIANS 4:29...
~~EXCERPTED from GOD'S LITTLE DEVOTIONAL BOOK (WOMEN)~~


AMEN!!! I LOVE this!!! It is just TOO perfectly true!!! There IS lots of good to be found, in the worst of you and, me!!!

In this present time, people have become very critical, even cynical; doubting good, or, thwarting good in others, that they might seem better! Futile attempt, as NONE, not one, is better, we are, each, in the same circumstance of being tainted by err, from birth to death, our ONLY saving GRACE is the GIFT of CHRIST!!!

As we walk with our LORD, *GOD*, let us remember such profound words, and, recall that HE wishes us to live in the LOVE of BROTHERHOOD; upholding, uplifting, encouraging, supporting, and, respecting one another, as, it strengthens not one, but, all, as well as honours HIS SACRED intentions, which work for the GOOD of ALL, and, EVERYTHING! Remember, it IS written, if you LOVE *GOD*, but, hate a Brother, you are NOT living in HIS WAY, thus, are in err!!!

I KNOW it is difficult to LOVE the whole world, I have said before, I do NOT know how *GOD* does it, but, that is why HE is *GOD*, and, we are, well, what we are! People, led by deception, and, the world, get up in your face, in your mind, then, in your spirit, which is EXACTLY what *GOD* does NOT want to happen to HIS Children, thus, HE has COMMANDED that we LIVE, and, EXIST in LOVE, BROTHERHOOD, and, PEACE, that we ARE WINNING in the battle of GOODNESS over evil!!!

Several things we REALLY need to learn to secure our place in the HOLY COVENANT, are, LOVE, FAITH, HOPE, HUMILITY, and the loss of self! LOVE covers MORE ground than you could ever imagine, at least, that HOLIEST LOVE which CREATED ALL, and, EVERYTHING! FAITH SECURES us, and, keeps our vision to the LIGHT, through HOPE, which FURTHERS our determinations, endurance, tolerance, and, so forth! HUMILITY teaches us that we ARE of *GOD*, are NOTHING without HIM/HIS WILL, and, to train our charcter to please HIM, instead of self! Of course, there ARE more imperatives to *GOD'S* WAY, but, these few, IF truly embraced, and, utilized, ARE empowered to lift us ABOVE the struggles we face in our walk with *GOD*!!!

Let us then, begin to understand LOVE, and, then, to SEE something GOOD in everyone, BEFORE we judge them, condemn them, and, compromise the GIFT of salvation! Let us ALWAYS SEEK the GOOD in ALL, and, EVERYTHING, AS, that is the PREMISE upon which ALL, and, EVERYTHING was founded!!! AMEN???

LET US CELEBRATE CONTINUOUSLY, HIS GIFT!!!

Easter Monday! Or, RENEWAL MONDAY, as is cited by age old customs, mostly upheld by the ROMAN CATHOLIC Churches, and, EASTERN ORTHODOX Churches, which is the second day of BRIGHT week! BRIGHT week, lasts for a full 7 days, counting the RESURRECTION, usually ending the following Sunday (called NEW SUNDAY, or, THOMAS SUNDAY), in which mostly EASTERN ORTHODOX Churches celebrate the RESURRECTION, by repeating psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, reading of the DIVINE SCRIPTURES, celebrating, and, rejoicing CHRIST JESUS. It is said that in this way, one is exalted WITH CHRIST, and, RAISED UP with HIM!!!

For many of us Christians, it is back to the usual! But, should it be? Shouldn't we be celebrating CHRIST in each day of our lives? Shouldn't we, in our RENEWAL, be rejoicing, exalting, extolling, and, uplifting our PRECIOUS LORD in thought, action, and, deed, continuously? Isn't it probable that THIS EASTER be that date in time when we FINALLY begin to BE ONE with HIM, in ALL respects? HOLY days leave lasting impressions upon me, and, the closer my walk with *GOD*, the more I feel that EACH DAY should be as HOLY as is feasible, though I walk in this carnal world! There are great advantages to IMPROVING our HOLINESS, and, to BONDING with HIS SACREDNESS, so, WHY do we end abruptly, what is just beginning???

Renewal, rebirth, rejuvenation! Each is inclusive to what HE left for us, so, as this HOLY season winds down, we should take time to reflect, then, determine our role in this HOLY COVENANT, not only for the sake of HIM, but, for the sake of ourselves, and, those who might be affected by our own state of compliance! It is a time when we should shift MORE from the natural plane, to the spiritual plane, that we are TRULY reflections of HIS LIGHT, for all the world to see, and, wonder over! We should be reading THE BOOK, cover to cover, daily, nightly, DEVOURING the WORD, for that WORD holds sustenance such as nothing else! HIS HOLY SCRIPTURES are like mystically empowered fibers which begin to manifest HIS BLESSINGS in a way unprecedented by anything else, and, AID us in growing into the sound characteristics which represent, without doubt, the CHOSEN Children of *GOD*!!!

We should be ECSTATIC for our role in HIS plan! We should be EXCITED to be as DEPENDABLE, and, FAST examples of HIS WILL, HIS WAYS! WE ARE the LIVING CHRIST/*GOD*, in that, we, IF we are sincerely aligned, ARE the reflection of HIS TRUTH, and, HIS LOVE, as well as HIS WHOLESOMENESS! Thus, we SHOULD, by the GIFT of HIS NATURE, through the HOLY SPIRIT, BE ATTENDING to PERFECTING ourselves to be VIABLE examples of HIM!!!

KNOWING full, and, WELL, the WORD, allows for ALL to be interconnected, and, perfectly interactive in fulfilling HIS WILL! When there is partial knowledge, ignorance, and, altered instructions, then, there is room for arguments, dissension, tension, and, other negatives, WHICH place us AT RISK of tripping on the deceivers snares! So, you see, it IS IMPERATIVE TO LEARN THE WORD, constantly, and, consistently, that there is room for dialogue, discussion, and, advancement, VOID of any grievous counteraction on the part of the members of the BODY of the CHURCH, CHRIST!!!

If you TRULY LEARN THE SPIRIT, THE SPIRIT WILL UPLIFT you so HIGH, you will be soaring as the eagle, though you yet, exist in this life!!!

Don't worship with your mouth only, nor, once a week, worship constantly, and, in that worship, develop a TRUE spiritual connection with your *GOD*, LORD, and, SAVIOUR! BE ALL YOU CAN BE in HIS HOLY name, to GLORIFY HIM, AND, to further the state of the BODY, THE CHURCH, CHRIST JESUS!!! AMEN!!!

HE HAS GONE BEFORE ME...

HE has RISEN, and, has gone before me, to prepare my place in the KINGDOM of *GOD*, and, has left HIS footprints, that I might ever walk IN HIS WAY!!! PRAISE the LORD, our KING, CHRIST JESUS!!! HALLELUJAH, PRAISE THE LORD!!!

JOHN 14:1-4...
1/     "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.
2/     In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
3/    And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.
4/    Where (I) am going you know the way."

Let us NEVER slack in remembrance, or, in adhering to HIS WAYS! Let us always GLORIFY HIM, and, HIS LOVE, through our thoughts, actions, and, reactions, for NO GREATER GIFT has been given, nor, will ever be given unto us again, thus, we MUST HONOUR it, by becoming the TRUE fruits of the HOLY VINE!!!

EACH DAY, consider the immense, and, intense SACRIFICE which our LORD, CHRIST JESUS endured, that we might have life, and, a rightful inheritance to the KINGDOM of *GOD*! May we FIND in HIM, the strength to ENDURE HIS yoke, and, to withstand the bombardment of the deceiver's ploys to trip us up! Let us ALWAYS, and, in ALL WAYS, observe, and, honour HIM through the BEST of OUR BEINGS! GIVE YOURSELF, ENTIRELY, to *GOD* IF you have expectation of salvation!!!

HE IS RISEN, and, I LIVE through HIM, HOW GLORIOUS is DIVINITY? HOW PERFECT IS HIS LOVE!!! HALLELUJAH!!! PRAISE THE LORD, REJOICE, and, ADHERE to HIS WAY, that, THROUGH US, HIS example RULES, and, LEADS more, and, more, home to their CREATOR, *GOD*!!!

HAPPY EASTER, with LOVE!!!

DOUBT NOT...

HAPPY EASTER, HE IS RISEN!!!

HALLELUJAH!!! HE IS RISEN!!!

 

MATTHEW 28...

1/       After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

2/       And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.

3/       His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow.

4/       The guards were shaken with fear of him and became like dead men.

5/       Then the angel said to the women in reply, "Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified.

6/       He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

7/       Then go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.' Behold, I have told you."

8/     Then they went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce this to his disciples.

9/      And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage.

10/    Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."

11/    While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had happened.

12/    They assembled with the elders and took counsel; then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

13/    telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep.'

14/    And if this gets to the ears of the governor, we will satisfy (him) and keep you out of trouble."

15/    The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has circulated among the Jews to the present (day).

16/    The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.

17/    When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.

18/    Then Jesus approached and said to them, "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19/    Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit,

20/    teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."

CHRIST JESUS proclaimed the good news of the KINGDOM OF *GOD*!!! HE brought forth wondrous signs, healing, messages, instructions, and, lessons, that we might be all the closer to our FATHER!!!

HE laid down his life and was crucified! HE descended into hell, and, took the keys of death and hell. HE resurrected from the dead. CHRIST JESUS paid for the sins of the world and purchased the pardon of men. HE restored man's fellowship with *GOD*, opening the way to eternal life!!!

Our LORD, CHRIST JESUS, IMMANUEL, WAS extraordinary, beyond description! HE came to life AS a human, that HE might experience first hand, the strife, struggle, pain, and, weakness we face daily, however, HIS primary role was to consecrate the NEW COVENANT, the COVENANT of PEACE, so titled as it brings mankind back into the GRACE of *GOD*, through the blood of CHRIST, and, through the FAITH of the believer(s)! HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIGHT, no one can enter through the gates of Heaven without becoming one with HIM! This SACRED act of LOVE, and, SACRIFICE, was conceived long before the foundations of existence were established, and, in fact, worked as one, with the FIRST COVENANT of *GOD*, in order for sin to overtake the world, that *GOD* be GLORIFIED through the blood of CHRIST, by reconciling HIMSELF with mankind, THROUGH CHRIST JESUS! HOW AWESOME is our *GOD*???

HAPPY EASTER! HAPPY REBIRTH! HAPPY RENEWAL! HAPPY DAYS 'IN' the name of *GOD*, our FATHER, SON, and, HOLY SPIRIT!!! PRAISE HIS NAME EVERMORE, loudly rejoicing HIS PERFECTION, HIS GRACE, HIS MERCY, HIS LOVE!!!

THE DAY THE SKY DARKENED...

A day of penance, of reverence, of identifying with the TRUE SPIRIT OF LOVE! A day when those adopted by *GOD*, through CHRIST, renew their FAITH, and, their spirits, to move ever closer to *GOD*!!!

JESUS agonizes on the cross for six hours. During his last 3 hours on the cross, from noon to 3 p.m., darkness falls over the whole land. With a loud cry, JESUS gives up his spirit. There is an earthquake, tombs break open, and the curtain in the Temple is torn from top to bottom. The centurion on guard at the site of crucifixion declares, "Truly this was *GOD'S* SON!" MATTHEW 27:45-54...

Even before the Crucifixion, JESUS CHRIST was taunted, tormented; enduring great bodily harm! HE was bleeding, HIS back was shredded from being lashed, the weight of the cross HE bore was physically overwhelming, and, throughout it all, HE spoke not ONE word against anyone, instead, was in the mode of the Scripture, and, the Covenant being manifested, to which HE was assigned, willingly, even before the foundations of CREATION were formed! And, LOVE is the reason for this magnificent act of SACRIFICE!!!

My being cries out to this act of LOVE! I can NEVER repay this act! But, I CAN try to become as ONE with LOVE, as is humanly possible, by devoting myself to HIM/*GOD*, and, the WORD, and, the VITAL connections therein!!! PRAISE YOU, JESUS, for YOU, ALONE, have SHOWN the CORE of the DEPTHS of LOVE, which IS irrevocable, unshakable, unstoppable, and, incorruptible, as well as, eternally anchored within itself, and, nothing more, nothing less! My soul is YOURS, I stand in awe of YOU, and, in grateful servitude forevermore, with ALL my being, it is so!!!

May we NEVER forget, nor, wane in our HONOUR of this unimaginable GIFT OF LOVE! Let us ALWAYS remain AWARE, by reminding ourselves through THE WORD, the empowered, wonderful WORD OF *GOD*!!!

ROMANS 6:3-11...

3/  Or are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

4/  We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.

5/  For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection.

6/  We know that our old self was crucified with him, so that our sinful body might be done away with, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin.

7/  For a dead person has been absolved from sin.

8/  If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.

9/  We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.

10/  As to his death, he died to sin once and for all; as to his life, he lives for God.

11/  Consequently, you too must think of yourselves as (being) dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus...

Happy Good Friday! May LOVE BECOME as your pulse, vital, and, imperative, and, may you take from that LOVE, the components, compassion, and, PEACE, that the TRUE NATURE of CHRIST is exemplified evermore!!!

AT THE NAME OF JESUS, EVERY KNEE SHOULD BEND...

PHILIPPIANS 2:1-16...
1/  If there is any encouragement in Christ, any solace in love, any participation in the Spirit, any compassion and mercy,
2/  complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love, united in heart, thinking one thing.
3/  Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves,
4/  each looking out not for his own interests, but (also) everyone for those of others.
5/  Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus,
6/  Who,  though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped.
7/  Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness;  and found human in appearance,
8/  he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.
9/  Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
10/  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11/  and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,  to the glory of God the Father.
12/  So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
13/  For God is the one who, for his good purpose, works in you both to desire and to work.
14/  Do everything without grumbling or questioning,
15/  that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,  among whom you shine like lights in the world,
16/ as you hold on to the word of life, so that my boast for the day of Christ may be that I did not run in vain or labor in vain...

Living in this way, we can begin to GLORIFY *GOD* for HIS GIFT, CHRIST JESUS, by HONOURING HIM with our entire beings, from soul, to reaction! HE gave us a GIFT, thus, it is only fitting that we repay that GIFT with the gift of the best of ourselves, more, and, more, as we grow into the energy of HIS LOVE, becoming ONE with that LOVE, the *GODHEAD*, and, all of it's existence!!!

EASTER should be a time of renewal, I have said this once, and, I say it again; we should strive to always renew ourselves, that we are as valuable as is feasible in the BODY of the CHURCH, CHRIST JESUS! Is it not optimal that we IMPROVE upon ourselves to GLORIFY HIM, HIS SACRIFICE, and, HIS LOVE for us? Is it wrong to think that we should, also, become like HIM, in the ways it is possible, as a token of the appreciation we have for HIS ultimate SACRIFICE???

LOVE is a two-way street, thus, if one is giving, and, the other is taking without ever giving, then, that LOVE is weakened by lack! However, if ALL involved in LOVE are giving, then, that LOVE is strengthened to the point of being indestructible, which IS what *GOD* is OPTING for, in TEACHING us about LOVE, SACRIFICE, HUMILITY, SURRENDER, SUBMISSION, ENDURANCE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, TOLERANCE, ACCEPTANCE, FORBEARANCE, and, OBEDIENCE!!!

IF we are ONE with CHRIST, as ONE we MUST ALWAYS STRIVE to ENCOURAGE STRENGTH, that NOTHING, nor, principalities, authorities, or, elements of this world ARE able to create dissension, or, any negative, which will weaken the FOUNDATION, THE BODY, CHRIST, in HIS GLORY!!! AMEN!!!

LET US RENEW, DAILY...

EASTER, the celebration of the SACRED RESURRECTION, a time of renewal, rebirth, and, rejoicing!!!

JOHN 3:5-7...
5/ Jesus answered, "Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.
6/ What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit.
7/ Do not be amazed that I told you, 'You must be born from above.'

CHRIST JESUS GAVE us the opportunity for rebirth, IN HIS SACRED SACRIFICE of dying, a cruel, torturous death for our past transgressions, thereby, allowing us to be cleansed of the world, and, refreshed in the SPIRIT! HALLELUJAH! What a GIFT! What an AWESOME thing *GOD* provided for us, that we might, IN example of CHRIST, GLORY HIM for all eternity! GLORIFYING HIM in SPIRIT, in thought, in LOVE, in action, and, reaction!!!

Rebirth must be continuous! While we have taken on the SPIRIT, we are yet, in the world, thus, rebirth MUST be a constant in our lives! We are going to be subjected to worldly influences, though, NOT subject to them! We, then, MUST renew ourselves on a daily basis, TO remain IN the SPIRIT, and, to PERFECT the action of BECOMING more as the SPIRIT! It takes work, no doubt, but, as Paul says, in 2 CORINTHIANS 4:17-18,
17/ For this momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
18/ as we look not to what is seen but to what is unseen; for what is seen is transitory, but what is unseen is eternal...

AMEN!!!

Not only for the end gain do we endure, but, for the GLORY of *GOD*! In endurance, we are being tested, then, REFINED! This IS necessary, that come those final hours of reckoning, we CAN withstand the ENORMOUS onslaught of weaponry which the deceiver will hurl upon ALL of *GOD'S* Chosen, that he can steal more souls! Thus, we ARE to study, learn, understand, embrace, utilize, ALL of HIS WAYS, that we stand like a ROCK, in FAITH, BELIEF, TRUST, LOVE, and, with the PEACE of HIS PROMISES as the platform on which we withstand the raging war! So, you see, IT DOES require EFFORT from us, on a daily basis, that we are fired into worthy warriors of *GOD'S* own!!!

Did you know that the egg is a symbol of EASTER as it signifies rebirth, or, renewal of life? Renewal of YOUR spirit IN THE SPIRIT is the greatest HONOUR you could pay *GOD* for HIS GIFT, CHRIST JESUS! HE awaits the 'hatching' of each egg, expecting GREATNESS of HIS Children, and, why wouldn't HE? HE Chose us, and, LOVES us, and, KNOWS that we ARE capable, thus, this EASTER, let us RENEW our spirits, and, continue to come into the *GOD* GIVEN capacities we have, that HIS GIFT of LOVE, IS honoured with as much advancement, as is, humanly feasible!!!

May *GOD* be with us, in this HOLY season, and, always, and, as I look forward to the rebirth of the Earth, I, also, look forward to the rebirth of my Brothers, and, Sisters in *GOD*!!! BLESS you always, with LOVE!!!

SHAKE OFF YOUR FORMER, FLESHY SELF, AND, PUT ON YOUR NEW, HOLY SELF!!!

GALATIANS 5:16-26...
16/ I say, then: live by the Spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh.
17/ For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you want.
18/ But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19/ Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness,
20/ idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions,
21/ occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22/ In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
23/ gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
24/ Now those who belong to Christ (Jesus) have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.
25/ If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.
26/ Let us not be conceited, provoking one another, envious of one another...

MOST POWERFUL Scripture is this!!!

We ARE bound by the SPIRIT, IF we ARE Children of *GOD*, which means, we ARE to live accordingly! Freed from the condemnation of the Law, but, bound by the SPIRIT/LOVE, and, ALL which is WHOLESOMELY GOOD!!!And, as you CAN see in Verse 21, we HAVE been warned, that if we live in the flesh, we will NOT inherit the KINGDOM of *GOD*! Argue with me all you want, you MUST have WORKS to accompany your FAITH, otherwise, you are simply living in both worlds, which is the same as not living in the SPIRIT! Verse 24 STATES EXPLICITLY, that IF we ARE OF CHRIST, we have crucified our flesh, and, it's desires!

So many Christians feel that they are free to live as they like, and, that FAITH will protect them! How can you know part of the Covenant, but, not the whole of it? ANYTHING that IS OF *GOD* MUST be cleansed, pure, and, HOLY, thus as is written in 1 PETER 1:14:19, we see more evidence of WORKS to accompany FAITH:
14/ Like obedient children, do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance
15/ but, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,
16/ for it is written, "Be holy because I (am) holy."
17/ Now if you invoke as Father him who judges impartially according to each one's works, conduct yourselves with reverence during the time of your sojourning,
18/ realizing that you were ransomed from your futile conduct, handed on by your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold
19/ but with the precious blood of Christ as of a spotless unblemished lamb...

BE HOLY BECAUSE I AM HOLY, the LORD has spoken! YOU were RANSOMED with the PRECIOUS BLOOD of CHRIST, which, YES, was a GIFT, however, BECAUSE IT IS A HOLY GIFT, IT IS TO BE REVERED WITH HOLINESS, out of HONOUR, RESPECT, REGARD, AND, because you LOVE *GOD* ENOUGH to BE as HE would have you!!!

*GOD* KNOWS that you are not going to have time to become completely HOLY, but again, EFFORT counts! EFFORT is KEY to SHOWING *GOD* the SINCERITY of YOUR COMMITMENT to HIM! EFFORT is as GLORY TO *GOD* for the world to witness! EFFORT also, aids in molding you into one worthy of your place in the BODY of the CHURCH, CHRIST JESUS! YES, HE accepts you as you ARE, and, forgives your PAST transgressions, HOWEVER, WHEN you became ONE with HIM, you agreed to abandon your old, fleshy self, for a NEW, HOLY self, and, by HIS name, in RESPECTFUL SINCERITY, and, LOVE, you best be up to it, which MEANS, LOTS of WORK to be done, CONSTANTLY, and, CONSISTENTLY, by study, devotion, action, and, so forth!!!

To ALIGN to *GOD* is NOT, and, SHOULD NOT, be regarded as submission to GUILT, but, SHOULD BE regarded as a PRIVELEGE, and, our ACTIONS SHOULD BE OUT OF LOVE FOR HIM, and, IN HONOUR of HIS MOST WONDROUS GIFT, CHRIST JESUS! If it is NOT of SINCERITY of the HEART of HEARTS, it is not worth the claim!!!

It IS a MOST HOLY season, let us take on some of that HOLINESS to FURTHER the BLESSED name of CHRIST, and, PROVE HIS NAME TO THE WORLD, by thought, action, and, reaction, by living as the above Scriptures lead us to! AMEN???

ALWAYS REMEMBER LOVE!!!

I cannot help but cry when I consider what JESUS endured that we might have life! How cruel were those to whom he was subjected, though, HE was not subject to them! How awful the suffering of HIS GIFT! Could ANY of us bear, even in thought, the pain HE went through for us? While there HAVE been some Christian martyr's, it is rare that one would lay down their life for another! But, this is what makes *GOD* PERFECT, while we are not!!!

While EASTER is the celebration of the Resurrection of CHRIST JESUS, the PREMISE of this soul saving event SHOULD be inclusive to our thoughts, EACH day, because, LOVE has GIVEN us the option of eternal life, and, IF we are ONE with CHRIST, in our own death of carnality, then, resurrected through HIM, then, that celebration, and, reverence, should be continuously rejoiced!!!

We are instructed to live in LOVE, a LOVE which spans throughout humanity, which is comprised of compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, patience, kindness, caring, sharing, endurance, perseverance, and, ALL THINGS WHOLESOMELY GOOD FOR THE GOOD OF ALL, and, EVERYTHING, IN the name of *GOD*, but, we fail, day in, and, day out, for we have YET to rid of our carnal confusion, which leads to delusion! ALL HE asks is that we LOVE HIM, self, and, others, and, we cannot even do this! Lack of UNDERSTANDING IS the reason, at least, to some degree, but, this too, is in DIVINE order, and, serves HIM great purpose! But, that does not make it right, nor, will it bind us to CHRIST, for we are NOT living as HE asks us to!!!

To really understand LOVE, you have to step away from human LOVE, and, study HOLY LOVE, which is PURELY GOOD! It is comprised on caring, sharing, aiding, healing, uplifting, encouraging, supporting, forbearance, and, all things which WILL bring the world together IN the name of LOVE! In this HOLY LOVE, there is no incident of hunger, homelessness, or, any other suffering, for LOVE takes care of all in it's existence! WE were given THE WAY as an example, that WE take care of our Brothers, and, Sisters, FOR the GOOD of ALL! Do you recall that JESUS' Disciples/Apostle's, HAD to GIVE everything they owned, OR, give up all they owned to be with HIM? Do you recall that as the group grew, COMMUNAL life WAS THE WAY 'FOR' THE GOOD OF ALL? Do you realize the MASSIVE WISDOM in this? Do you see that IF we LIVED in THIS HOLY LOVE, that NO suffering COULD exist, BECAUSE ALL WOULD BE PROVIDED FOR? Can you see, at all, the sense of *GOD*???

*GOD* LOVES us SO much that HE PROVIDED A WAY for us to give Satan the pink slip, but, how many of use that WAY? How many of us even have an inkling of what this means? How many of us ARE WILLING to TRULY give up our hold, and, the holds OF the world? How many of us are willing to LEARN, then, RETRAIN our carnal, egocentric minds, that we CAN understand, then, become ONE with THE WAY???

Also, because of lack of understanding, many of you do NOT fear the LORD! I do not understand this, as I fear HIM so greatly, as well as respect, and, regard HIM, and, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, that I am DETERMINED to HONOUR HIM with the IMPROVEMENT of my being, ON a daily basis! I do NOT wish to be thrown into the fire, come that day of reckoning, and, HIS WAY HAS instilled in me, the TRUTH of the matter of HOLINESS, to which I ATTEMPT to correlate to, but, of course, will never perfect, but, continually TRY to! THAT is KEY to WHAT HE wants from us: EFFORT!!!

It is the HOLIEST of all seasons, as this is the time when CHRIST died, a torturous death for our salvation, to which we honour in part, but, NOT as we should! Our THANKS, GRATITUDE, APPRECIATION, and, AWE, SHOULD be EVIDENT in our character, our thoughts, our actions, and, our reactions, ALWAYS, IN THE NAME OF LOVE, that HOLY LOVE, which IS VOID of breach, falter, or, anything less than GOODNESS!!!

PRAISE *GOD* for HIS GENIUS GIFT! How incredible is the SACRIFICE of HIMSELF, THROUGH CHRIST, designed from the CORE of a LOVE which is SO incorruptible, it yet exists, despite the fact that we do NOT rush, in complete SURRENDER to it's ALL INCLUSIVE benevolence???

In this EASTER celebration, let us take to HEART, that heart of hearts, the imperatively wondrous gifts which have been bestowed upon us by THIS LOVE, this HOLY LOVE, which is without end, that we begin ANEW, to HONOUR the GREATEST ACT of LOVE ever imagined, by becoming as an example OF this LOVE!!! AMEN!!!

TAKE FLIGHT...

At any time, day, or, night,
When you feel the need to take flight,
From the burdens of the world, of life,
To be freed, from the constant strife,
There is a place, close by,
Which will take you so high,
You will soon forget the moment before,
As your spirit does soar;
Answers will come easily,
Because you can now, see;
The veil is lifted from you,
Your sight is true!
Each of your senses become fresh, renewed,
The chatter of your mind, is subdued,
Leaving your soul open to receive,
Promises, and, Blessings, enough to relieve
Any negative you might attract,
Of the world; such is fact!
This place is innately warm, wholesome, peaceful, and, kind,
By the PURITY of LOVE, it is inclined:
Founded on TRUTH, so that, ONLY GOOD shall prevail,
In every diminutive detail!
Come, retreat to this haven of comfort, close your eyes, relax, and, go deep inside,
To the point of *GOD*, which, IN you, does reside!
Release all worldly holds, barriers, obstacles, and, just be,
That *GOD*, also, can be HE!
HE will gently, and, LOVINGLY, guide you from here,
To a dimension void of worry, struggle, pain, or, fear!
LET HIM, HE IS capable of your rebirth,
Just watch as HE lifts you in healing, from this Earth!
Though you will have to return to reality,
HIS presence will remain, lending you ability,
To withstand, to endure, to persevere,
With vision so clear!
HE will will empower you more, and, more, as nearer to HIM you grow,
Unprecedented by anything, which you, previously, did know!
What are you waiting for, don't let the negative world bring you down, take a little trip,
Navigate to *GOD*, that, ALWAYS, you have, on what is thrown at you, a healthy mental grip,
Preventing in you, as time goes by, the weaknesses, which cause one to slip!!!

growing 'UP'!!!

We NEVER know when time will end for us; our hairs are numbered by *GOD'S* own hand, thus, we have THIS time to get it right, to make amends, to cleanse the soul, to clear the mortal/carnal clutter, and, be found worthy of HIS MERCIFUL GRACE!!!

TOO many are overly confident in the duration of their existence upon the Earth; too many are complacent in their sense of that duration, too many are expecting what is NOT theirs to expect! We have one shot, so, we have to make it count!!!

As youth begins to leave us, we should have learned some things; we should have come closer to 'getting it'! Alas, so many retain their adolescence long beyond it's limited usefulness! We remain immature in the IMPERATIVES of life, while holding on to less than important aspects of this life, in hopes of retaining that feeling from back when! It CAN'T be done, and, it serves no useful purpose, other than to further feed the ego, which, IS the source of most of our problems, as, it IS SELFISHLY inclined!!!

I know people who claim to be of *GOD*, are 50, and, while they look young for their age, they act as if they are yet 18; all to PROVE to the world how amazing they are! Vanity, and, pride rule their character, which is extremely against what *GOD* would expect of a GROWN person! HE requires SPIRITUAL MATURITY FOR REASON! You see, when we MATURE, we are more likely to RESIST all that might remove us from HIM! Our CHARACTERS are VITAL to a relationship with, and, in *GOD*! Thus, we are to GROW from having taken the time to DEVELOP, LEARN, UNDERSTAND, EMBRACE, and, UTILIZE the precepts of HIS WAYS, taking them to the DEPTHS of our being, that they become ONE with us, so, we are, then, flourishing in THE SPIRIT, and, setting an example for the world, especially, for the immature!!!

By the time you begin to see youth fleeing, you should have come into VIRTUES which will ENHANCE you, and, allow you to GROW into the MATURE character of *GOD'S* CHOSEN! Virtues will carry you beyond all else in this superficial world! Virtues STRENGTHEN you dramatically, providing HIS GRACE to blossom within, that you are PREPARED, should your time end! People do NOT like to discuss the end; not the end of most things! They cling to what was, and, what is, denying the FACT that the end IS imminently placed in their existence! And so, they distract, even divert their thoughts, and, actions from the fact, leaving themselves to danger, should that time come swiftly upon them!!!

We are not taught how to grow, correctly, instead, we are left to wild abandon! We spend our time trying to FIT IN THE WORLD, but, not to fit in with the TRUTH, which is, *GOD*! We might make meager attempts to align, but, unless we are spiritually mature, the magnetism of the world is going to suck us in, time, after time! Spiritual maturity has GREAT purpose, especially for those who WANT to be a part of the eternal KINGDOM, yet, so many come to a point, then, decide that they ARE mature enough to be included! We can NEVER become mature enough for *GOD*, the KEY is in EFFORT, and, besides that, IF you THINK that you are mature enough, YOU are deciding FOR *GOD*, which means, you are placing more worth on YOUR assumptions, than, on HIS TRUTHS, which, also means, you are NOT mature in spirit!!!

Some of you think that my messages are TOO heavy, but, know what? They HAVE to be, to reach, to awaken, to bring to awareness the direness of HIS WAYS! One lifetime is NOT enough time to BEGIN to grasp a part of HIS WAYS, let alone, not attempting at all! HE KNOWS that we will NEVER 'get it', HOWEVER, HE counts EFFORT as ability to recognize that HIS WAY IS IMPERATIVE, and, as growth, in the right direction! You know, and, I know, we are born imperfect, and, will die imperfect, but, does that give us the freedom to embrace that imperfection? NO! It SHOWS us that we NEED to grow in order to be called a CHILD of the MOST HIGH *GOD*!!!

Life is limited, and, all THINGS in this life are temporal, exacting nothingness, in the end! Life in *GOD* is PERMANENT, and, ALL within are SOMETHING VIABLE, USEFUL, and, ONE with the ENERGY of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and, GOODNESS, in the name of *GOD*/LOVE!!!

Grow PAST your youth, it served it's purpose, which has defined A PART of you, a very limited part of you! Maturity includes that youth, and, it's youthfulness, although, it is REFINED with WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, and, UNDERSTANDING of the ONE IMPERATIVE TRUTH; *GOD*!!!

Read the WORD, study that WORD, meditate upon that WORD, LEARN that WORD, and, USE that WORD to develop into the sort of person that WORD speaks of when it speaks of HIS CHOSEN! There is GREAT gain to be found in spiritual maturity, EVEN IN THE NOW, and, will, surely, be of the most value, come that day of HIS!!!

Next up: WHAT IS SPIRITUAL MATURITY???...

MOVING ON UP!!!

WE, the righteous, and, the FAITHFUL; the CHOSEN of *GOD*, ARE LIVING proof to Satan, that, WHILE we ARE subject to sin/deception, we CAN overcome, and, ARISE from his clutches; his controlling delusions, and, his carefully placed obstacles, intended to confuse us enough to cause us to falter, weaken, and, to a greater extent, susceptible to his ploys!!!

AS a person becomes MORE FAITHFUL, and, devout, the deceiver stirs up the mix of troubles, problems, and, such, that some WILL lose FAITH, or, slacken in their convictions! This curator of negativity THRIVES on lost souls, as well as, those whom are unsteady in their FAITH, as the battle between he, and, *GOD*, advances!!!

THIS is WHY it IS IMPERATIVE to build your FAITH to a point of being IMPENETRABLE, as, come the end times, Satan IS going to steal away even some of *GOD'S* CHOSEN, DUE TO their LACK of ROCK SOLID FAITH, as the principalities, and, powers OF this world, RUSH to prove *GOD* wrong in HIS LOVE for us, BEFORE HE annihilates ALL evil, wickedness, and, negatives OF this world, and, places them beneath the feet of CHRIST JESUS, after which, the NEW ETERNAL KINGDOM will RULE, exclusively, ALL left in existence!!!

So, you see, FAITH is as your battle gear, your shield, your saving GRACE IN the final hours of carnal existence, AND, IS GLORY to *GOD* in the NOW, and, EVER AFTER!!!

It is 'natural' of the natural plane to wane: it is not 'natural' of the spiritual plane to do so! WHEN you decide(ed) to return to *GOD*, and, accept CHRIST as THE WAY, this REQUIRES GREAT DELIBERATION on your part, regarding ALL ASPECTS of your carnal, egocentric being, that you STEP UP to the HOLY SPIRITUAL being, which IS GLORY to *GOD* IN thought, action, and, reaction! It IS a SERIOUS commitment TO what you BELIEVE in/choose!!!

You have free will: even some of the CHOSEN will be enticed, and, lost in that free will, BECAUSE they did NOT HONE their being from the spiritual plane, and, because their FAITH was lost on worldly ways, which occurs when one is ignorant OF THE WAY, or, they act defiantly TO THE WAY, or, even, they become COMPLACENT in their belief!!!

Don't simply, read the BIBLE through once, or, even twice, and, think you know, or, understand it; read it CONSTANTLY! EACH TIME UNVEILS a bit MORE information VITAL to your stance of FAITH, and, your salvation! Read it thoroughly, and, don't RELY on the partial teachings you receive, as, MUCH of YOUR responsibilities TO THE COVENANT ARE being left out, thus, you are UNAWARE, and, faltering, without you knowing it!!!

Develop a TRUE relationship with *GOD* THROUGH HIS WORD! It has been compiled to guide, direct, protect, enrich, empower you, AND, to LEAD you to safety; the spiritual plane!!!

WISDOM, and, KNOWLEDGE PROVIDE LIGHT: a LIGHT which swallows up the entire darkness of evil, egocentricity, and, ALL negatives, that YOU are free to exist in harmony with the spiritual plane! THIS LIGHT IS the ESSENCE of the PRESENCE of the *GODHEAD*, and, IS ALL EMPOWERING, indeed!!!

You CANNOT gain from your worldly ways! ONLY through THE SPIRIT lies ALL gain, which means, YOU MUST DELIBERATELY learn, embrace, and, utilize ALL HE has laid before you, out of LOVE, IN, and, THROUGH THE WORD!!!

THE HEART OF FAITH...

When you BELIEVE, you have TRUST! BELIEF, and, TRUST, TOGETHER, equate FAITH! In FAITH, there IS HOPE, which breeds endurance, perseverance, strength, courage, long suffering, fortitude, patience, tolerance, and, willingness to WAIT upon fulfillment of expectation, or, simply, that which IS HOPED FOR!!!

WHEN you BELIEVE in *GOD*, you TRUST HIM ENOUGH to have FAITH in MANY ways, such as, that HE exists, HE LOVES us, HE provides for us, HE hears our prayers/petitions, and, so on! This OPENS UP TO HOPE, WHILE we ENDURE, awaiting HIM, HIS BLESSINGS, and, so forth!!!

As we ENDURE, we PERSEVERE, MEANING, we go on with life IN A STATE of BELIEF, TRUST, FAITH, and, HOPE, which BUILDS strength, courage, long suffering, fortitude, tolerance, and, willingness to wait for manifestation, OR, EVIDENCE OF OUR FAITH, which NOW, opens up to PEACE of spirit, and, mind, BECAUSE, we BELIEVE, TRUST, and, have FAITH!!!

FAITH requires surrender, and, submission, in order for it to be real, and, from the heart! You SURRENDER your worry, anxiety, fear, and, such, IN a SUBMISSIVE TRUST because you BELIEVE, which means, you can now, go forward without giving it much more thought as your FAITH ENCOURAGES you to BELIEVE, and, TRUST! If NOT, you do NOT have FAITH!!!

*GOD* says, "Be still, and, know that I am *GOD*!" This indicates that we SHOULD KNOW HIS powers, HIS means, HIS WILL, and, TRUST in HIS WAYS, FAITHFULLY, IN HOPE, WHILE we stand STRONG in BELIEF of HIS promises TO the FAITHFUL, WITHOUT wondering about WHEN, WHERE, WHY, HOW, and, WHAT, AS, HIS WILL is HIS, ALONE, and, HE, ALONE, KNOW what SHALL be, which again, inspires FAITHFUL TRUST, BECAUSE HE IS *GOD*!!!

Many are quite immature in their FAITH; like little Children, crying about the when, where, what, how, and, why, and, demanding instant gratification! HIS timeline is NOT of the world, but, of HIS DOMAIN, and, HE requires spiritual MATURITY of us, for many reasons!!!

IF HE simply, gave all we request of HIM, would we GROW? Would we be stronger? Would we learn anything? Would YOU give your Children all they request? Would you give to them immediately what they request???

Don't you see, we have lessons to learn, a character to build, a spirit to perfect, that we ARE in SOME semblance, inclined to HOLINESS in HIS namesake, AS heirs to HIS KINGDOM? IF you expect without being cooperative to HIM, ISN'T that SELFISH, and, ONE SIDED???
What does *GOD* receive from us? ONLY when one stands, honestly, truthfully, and, whole-hearted IN STRONG ENDURANCE, and, PERSEVERANCE IN HIS WAYS, does HE RECEIVE, and, that, then, what HE receives becomes GLORY, THROUGH alignment TO HIM, TO LOVE, and, TO TRUTH!!!

FAITH is NOT selfish, wishy-washy, or, on, and, off again; it IS SOLID, FOUNDED, GROUNDED, TESTED, and, PERFECTED THROUGH effort, BECAUSE OF LOVE, BELIEF, TRUST, and, HOPE, TO GLORIFY HIM, as HE, ALONE is worthy, and, IS our DELIVERER in ALL matters!!! AMEN!!!

THE FREEDOM OF FAITH...

We are going to examine the premise of FAITH, in detail, mainly dealing with Christianity, then, the concept of FAITH throughout the ages, concerning other beliefs...

Bear in mind that Belief, Trust, and, Faith are interactive, and, are synonymous to a relationship with the *GODHEAD*! We are beginning with human definitions, as derived from historically sound Doctrine, and, lifestyles, and, will go deeper until a FULL understanding of FAITH is established, that it is easier to HAVE total FAITH! Did you know that, depending on the source, FAITH is mentioned up to 600 times in the BIBLE, though, each BIBLE is different, due to interpretation, and, semantics???

This is from WIKIPEDIA , as a starting point:
Faith in Christianity is based in and on the work and teaching of Jesus Christ.[12] In this way Christianity declares not to be distinguished by its faith, but by the object of its faith. Faith is an act of trust or reliance. Rather than being passive, faith leads to an active life of obedience to the one being trusted. It sees the mystery of God and his grace and seeks to know and become obedient to God. To Christians faith is not static but causes one to learn more of God and grow; it has its origin in God.[13] In Christianity faith causes change as it seeks a greater understanding of God. Faith is not fideism or simple obedience to a set of rules or statements.[14] Before the Christian has faith, he must understand in whom and in what he has faith. Without understanding, there cannot be true faith and that understanding is built on the foundation of the community of believers, the scriptures and traditions and on the personal experiences of the believer.[15] In English translations of the New Testament, the word faith generally corresponds to the Greek noun πίστις (pistis) or the Greek verb πιστεύω (pisteuo), meaning "to trust, to have confidence, faithfulness, to be reliable, to assure".[16] Heb 11:1 (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen...

I find this very interesting in correlation to many arguments about FAITH, and, works, as some claim that FAITH in CHRIST is enough, and, while there is Scripture which states this as fact, it is only PART of the whole! In the above illustration of FAITH, we can SEE, clearly, that works MUST accompany FAITH, as it states:  Rather than being passive, faith leads to an active life of obedience to the one being trusted. It sees the mystery of God and his grace and seeks to know and become obedient to God. To Christians faith is not static but causes one to learn more of God and grow; it has its origin in God...

Now, from Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

Definition of FAITH1/a : allegiance to duty or a person : loyalty b (1) : fidelity to one's promises (2) : sincerity of intentions

2/a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust

3: something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially : a system of religious beliefs faith>...

Again, we can see that FAITH requires works by the first definition: allegiance, loyalty, and, fidelity to one's promises! We PROMISED our allegiance, and, fidelity to *GOD* when we were baptized into CHRIST!!!

FAITH begins as an allegiance, then, after time, and, practice, and, understanding, it becomes a way of life! It becomes such a way of life, that the FAITHFUL does NOT have to worry, be anxious, or, wonder, ever in their life, as they, INTRINSICALLY, KNOW that *GOD* PROVIDES all of their needs! In fact, IF one is baptized, to live away from, or, outside of this concept is to live in err, as FAITH IS the connection between the *GODHEAD*, *GOD*/CHRIST/HOLY SPIRIT, and, the SAVED!!!

FAITH to the Christian is different than that of the Abrahamic religions ONLY in that we believe CHRIST is our SAVIOUR! Other than that, FAITH is basic, in that WE ALL believe in *GOD*, and, in *GOD* we TRUST, out of LOVE for HIM, and, regard for HIS existence as preeminent over all! MANY Doctrines believe in CHRIST, but, NOT as the SAVIOUR, instead, as the MESSENGER, or, PROPHET! So, FAITH is NOT divided by beliefs, it is UNIFIED by belief in *GOD*, then, division comes into FAITH via teaching, Doctrines, semantics, perception, and, so forth, however, primarily, FAITH remains undivided through belief in *GOD*!!!

Now, some Christian Doctrines are divided in what comprises FAITH, as some believe FAITH came by the HOLY SPIRIT, which is true when called SAVING FAITH, in the name of CHRIST JESUS, whereas, others believe FAITH existed previously! I KNOW it existed previously, otherwise, there would have been no connection at ALL between *GOD*, and, mankind, PLUS, the Patriarch's were ALL FAITHFUL Men, whom *GOD* superbly empowered BECAUSE of their FAITH! However, a NEW sort of FAITH was borne with CHRIST, that separated the believers, which was due to many factors, mainly, to DIVINE order, but, human factors contributed to, also, such as, when CHRIST was resurrected, those reporting to Pontius Pilate: After the soldiers see three men and a cross miraculously walking out of the tomb they report to Pilate who reiterates his innocence: "I am pure from the blood of the Son of God". He then commands the soldiers not to tell anyone what they have seen so that they would not "fall into the hands of the people of the Jews and be stoned. According to Christian belief, a cover-up, or, lie, has separated humanity from accepting their SAVIOUR, our LORD, JESUS CHRIST, but, not lack of belief in HIM, nor, lack of FAITH in *GOD*!!!

Protestant religions vary in their descriptions of FAITH, as the paedobaptists, and, the baptists, disagree on the extent of knowledge which should accompany FAITH: with paedobaptists asserting that faith means placing one's trust in JESUS CHRIST, according to the measure of understanding granted, and baptists asserting faith means placing one's trust in Jesus Christ with a certain minimal core of understanding being necessary. Thus, there comes human dissension based on FAITH, and, therefore, a breakdown of the POWER of this most empowering component of belief!!!

FAITH is found everywhere! We believe in people, places, things, stories, and, so much more, but, so many have difficulty placing ALL their FAITH in the *GODHEAD*, even though they KNOW that there is, in actuality, NOTHING ELSE prevalent in existence! This is the breeding ground for sin, or, deception, which breeds in the egocentric mind, and, feeds off of the weaknesses of that mind, leaving people to question what IS!!!

IF a person questions *GOD*, then, surely, they are NOT living in FAITH, and, they cannot have it both ways! They can falter, then, IF they repent, and, seek to improve, and, perfect their belief, they will be forgiven, but, they cannot be off, and, on, again, believers! When you come to *GOD*, and, receive CHRIST as your SAVIOUR, FAITH MUST BE BURNISHED as is gold, and, so strong that it can withstand the heat of the fire, which IS the testing of the FAITHFUL, BY *GOD*, that come the end times, the FAITHFUL ARE NOT LOST to the principalities, powers, and, elements of the deceiver who rules the world, and, WILL battle to take any soul he can, that less, and, less, are saved by *GOD*! So, you see, FAITH is not only that we might have a relationship with *GOD*, it is as a FORTRESS surrounding you, that in the end times, you are protected during the MIGHTY war ensuing between *GOD*, and, the wickedness of this world! Something to think about!!!

More to come...
