Disarray...

I saw in a scattered pile of fire wood,

when left alone, in disarray...

That just as decay/ death lends to disorder,

so does disorder lend to decay/ death...

But man can order and stack the wood,

the wood will stay dry and last longer.

The wood will burn more efficiently,

when used for a fire.

Man can not bring what once was a tree

back to life...

Yet man can order

and slow the decay,

but man can not give life.

Only God can give Life...

And that Life brings order...
All life lends to order,
even the tracks of a deer...

Acceptance...

How often do I look to my past for consolation ?

How often do I look back for my identity ?

These are the views of the natural mind.

Seeking where I have been for my purpose.

Looking in my past for my destiny.

But I think, I believe that is all I have,

I believe that is all I know...

I have to convince myself first

that there is a more excellent way.

I must believe first in those things

God has put in my path.

I must accept the Truth that is in Christ,

the Living Word of God,

the Son of the Living God...

I must ask the question,

Am I searching for acceptance

I can see in the tangible or

Do I desire the Reality

only God can provide ?

For His is eternal,

His is a path

man may wish to tamper with

but will not be changed.

To follow Christ alone

is to know the prophetic.

To walk in the Holy Spirit

is greater than the future.

In His Word, Jesus

I lay down my life

and my will,

Only to become the unique individual

The Father created me to be.

And my purpose, my belonging

unfolds before me...


... Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand,
 Come, ye blessed of my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
  - Jesus


But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the LORD;
I will wait for the God of my salvation.
My God will hear me.
Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy.
Though I fall
I will rise;
Though I dwell in darkness,
the LORD is a light for me.
I will bear the indignation of the LORD
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my case and executes justice for me.
He will bring me out to the light,
I will see His righteousness.
- Micah 7

As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look. - 1 Peter

Wings...

  When the world sees you struggle,
They either want to clip your wings
Or cut the cocoon to soon

The blind see damage
and equate that as hurt
having no vision of destiny

If you sense a frustration
Then there is probably a crisis on the horizon
And the heights of the impossible are yours...

The Cry, 'Home'...

All soldiers in the battlefield

have a Cry in their heart

Home

All prisoners in the prison

have a Cry in their heart

Home

All children in wayward place

have a Cry in their heart

Home

All children of God following Jesus

have a Cry in their heart

Home

And All children following Jesus

Cry out to the others

follow Jesus

Home

Streams...

Streams,
most people aren't concerned about where the water in a stream came from,
they are only concerned about where the waters flow will take them...

most people are even less concerned about the purity of the water,
they are not concerned about drawing from the springs that feed the stream,
nor are they concerned about finding the headwaters
or the streams origin...

And then there are the guides and the teachers,
they are not concerned as much as they could be,
about where the stream came from,
or what may have gotten into the water ...
They seem to be most concerned about how many people will
jump into the stream,
and consume the water...
and by no means should you ask the guide where he
got into the stream.
They may have never touched the water
or felt the flow of the stream at all...

Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God,
and who it is who says to you,
 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him,
and He would have given you living water."
She said to Him, " Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep;
where then do You get that living water?
"You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well,
and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?"
Jesus answered and said to her,
"Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again;
but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst;
but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water
springing up to eternal life."
The woman said to Him,
"Sir, give me this water,
so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw."
John - Chapter 4 : 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15



"He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said,
'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"
But this He spoke of the Spirit,
whom those who believed in Him were to receive;
for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
John - Chapter 7 : 38, 39

Snow

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:

though your sins be as scarlet,

they shall be as white as snow;

though they be red like crimson,

they shall be as wool.

Though our sins be as scarlet,

( our blood and the blood we have shed

is on our own hands... )

they shall be as white as snow...

( snow not only reflects light,

but refracts light, absorbing the light,

causing us to optically see not only white

but also glistening clear and silver )

  ~  :  ~

" ... As Snow ...  "

As snow , we have not only had our sins washed away by the 'Blood of Christ',

we have taken on His likeness...

I beheld till the thrones were cast down,

And the Ancient of days did sit,

whose garment [was] white as snow,

and the hair of his head like the pure wool:

his throne [was like] the fiery flame,

[and] his wheels [as] burning fire.

Daniel 7 : 9

His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool,

as white as snow;

and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;

Revelation 1 : 14

And after six days Jesus taketh [with him]

Peter, and James, and John, and

leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves:

and he was transfigured before them.

And his raiment became shining,

exceeding white as snow;

so as no fuller on earth can white them.

Mark 9 : 2, 3

FREEDOM

It truly is astounding the meaning that most people attribute to freedom.

The definition they give to the word, freedom.

That liberty is the "pursuit of happiness".

The dysfunction in life due to this misconception,

that one's appearance,

one's wealth or the lack thereof,

one's place in society or being elevated above one's peers

is a place of success or relevance.

This is not 'Freedom' ,

Nor is it 'Liberty' ,

It is a dependence upon and on these temporal situations.

It is bondage to the trappings of this present age,

this present world.

Seek rather therefore, First the 'Kingdom of God'.

For Christ stated, " My Kingdom is not of this world..."

Seek to, " Worship in Spirit and Truth,
In a Holy Place.

Seek to know the "Blood of Christ..."
Seek Him while He may be found.

For He is the rewarder of those who diligently

Seek him.

For only in His Holy Spirit will you find
Liberty...
