Do you REALLY want to see?

With sight comes added responsibility.  With sight comes an awareness of the hidden sins people might keep from one who is blind.  With sight comes added awareness of the Glory of God’s creation.  And with sight comes an added awareness of how small and wicked our heart has become.  Do you really want the Lord to open your eyes of faith and spiritual understanding? 

The same can be said of our ears, tongues, hands and feet.  With God’s enabling we become more effective.  But most important of all this “enabling”, might be our heart.  We are told that it is out of the overflow of our hearts that our mouth speaks.  And if we think of the things our tongues have given life to, we are sobered.  And it is with the heart that all things detestable are made manifest.  Where our heart is, there our treasure will be also.    The Lord also told us that the wicked will honor Him with their lips while their hearts are far from Him.  Showing themselves to be wrapped in the lie of ritual.  And void of the knowledge of the Living God.

Are you ready to see?  Is there preparation you can experience that might cause you to be more able?  God is merciful and just.  Simply asking Him to let you see might not grant you sight.  Perhaps it would be best to ask for a renewed heart.  Clean the inside of the dish and the outside will become clean also.  To serve the God of all creation is no light matter which can be attained by mere words or weak ritual.

The Archer

A great archer appears on the range.  His servants had been busy making arrows, honing the shafts, grooming the feathers, and sharpening the tips for their master.  His bow is huge and his strength is amazing.  His feet are placed.  His legs like iron.  His hand fits to the bow.  The first arrow is placed on the string.  With little effort, the archer pulls and fires.  With the sound of a screaming Eagle, the arrow soars down range.  And finds the absolute center of the target over a mile away. 

He reaches to his servant’s hand to accept the next arrow.  As he places it against the string and bow he notices it is not perfectly straight.  With a slight frown he pulls and releases.  As he knew it would, the arrow shatters into splinters and lay on the ground before him.  All day long he plys his trade with unwavering determination.  Each arrow is tested and either proved or destroyed. 

We are the Lord’s.  His servants minister to our need at His command.  We walk that we might become worthy of He who calls us.  What will be the outcome when our time comes to serve?  We “walk”.  Do we “Walk” well?  Is He able to hit the mark with our service?  Or might we become splinters to be gathered and burned.

To each is given.  To each is required.  To God be all Glory, Honor, Praise, and worship.  In the Name of Jesus, the Christ of God, may all who call upon the name of the Lord turn from evil and seek Holiness before His face.

A perception, from mind to words

I had a perception yesterday, after devotions.  I don’t know if it’s from the Lord.  But let each one decide.

I saw a high hill with the Lord standing among many people.  They were praising Him and giving thanks for His leadership and love.  In the valley below was a wide meadow.  The lighting in that place seemed like dusk.  On the other side of the valley were hundreds of thousands of creatures.  Their sound was like hissing or perhaps whispers.  They each held impliments of war.  Swords, maces, knives and such.  Their hands were brandishing long claws.  And their faces were contorted with determination and hatred. 

On the Lord’s word, hundreds of His people ran down the hill, through the valley, and into the creatures on the other side.  Those who ran were few compared to those who stayed.  I perceived that many who stayed went about thanking the Lord for His leadership.  And in my estimation, the Lord paid no attention to those who remained. Considering the enemy on the other side of the valley, there was no way those who ran to fight were about to survive.  And it was of those who captured the Lord’s attention. 

I don’t know exactly what all that meant.  And I’m not sure it meant much more than is posted here.  The perception was astounding and clear.  May God grant meaning or clarification as He deems necessary.
