Holy Spirit Stained Glass

What has been given to Christ’s bride is precious and pure.  He says to me to counsel my brothers and sisters to trust.  It is by faith that we endure what is to come.  Therefore I urge all of us to trust.

Though we do not understand, trust.  If He has given it will be blessed.  Only trust.

We have been told to speak for His name’s sake.  We have been urged by our leaders to testify.  And we have not understood the message.  This understanding is missing from among us because we have failed to walk in His Holy ways.  We have spurned the power of the Holy Spirit which He has given us.  And by this spurning we have failed to testify with power.

Take to heart what I have said at His beckoning.  If you do not understand what I have said here, then approach the Lord who has bought you by His Holy Blood and ask what you will.  Understanding will be given to those who desire to serve.  Only trust.

The Wall of Truth

There is a wall which lays hard against the mass of men.  It is a wall of truth.  He who built this wall has done so from the stock of men.

He has carved out stones from the hardened hearts of men.  And He has positioned each stone of truth at the very place in this wall which pleases Him to set it.  God has done this among us.  Who are we to complain regarding the testimony of another stone of truth which appears in the very wall in which we are set?

Where is pride allowed or even condoned within the ranks of God’s people?  Where does envy belong?  For we are all of those who have received the truth from He who cannot lie.  Let us instead be humbled by this understanding.  Cease your attacks against your brothers for the sake of envy.  There is no blessing to be had among those who rebel.  Blessing belongs to the humble of heart.

“This word is spoken to all so that there might be understanding among My people.”

By His Grace.

He IS!

He has set me apart to proclaim with power that which is His.  All Glory belongs to He who has set my feet in “The Way”.  Nothing I own is mine, but has come from He who owns all.

By His will He grants.  And it will be His to receive praise for eternity.  For He has set this captive free from the bonds of wickedness and sin.  He has raised me up by His gentle hand and seated me among His knowledge.  It is Jesus who has done this.  Nothing I have was mine to attain.  But what He has given will not be taken away.

All His words live forever.  His words are living.  He is not stagnant or still.  He is eternity alive.  And all who are embraced by the Holy Love of God in Jesus will testify the same.  May His Glory shine within all He touches.  May the testimony given bring Him praise and souls.  May the eyes once shielded be opened.  May the ears which have not heard be released to hear.  And may He add to His bounty by the grace He has given to His servants.

Praise is His alone!

By His Grace.

Greedy Salvation

Ornament

A man held a fragile glass ornament in his hands.  The glow from it filled the man and prompted him, beyond his own ability, to proclaim all its beauty.  As the man walked through the market place he was witnessed by all for his words spoke of a beauty beyond the people’s perception.  The way he spoke roused their hearts.  And many were desirous to own what he spoke of.  Soon some of the people had found a similar orb of fragile glass.  And they too spoke of the beauties it provoked them to witness.

Then one of the people approached the first man and said to him, “Give me that ornament.”  “I cannot give it to you” said the owner.  “Then I will rip it from your hands!  For I perceive that it is to be desired.”  At that the man took the ornament from the owner and held it in his own hands.

His eyes grew wide.  His face became as one who had tasted an entire handful of dill.  His body convulsed at the impact from the orb.  And quickly he gave it back to the owner.  “This is a LIE!”  He said with lungs full of the air he had sucked at his convulsion.   “This man speaks lies!”  He began to turn to the people to proclaim what he perceived to be the truth.  But out of the corner of his eye he witnessed the reaction of the man as he took back what was his.

A glow of warm peace enveloped him.  A beaming smile of love covered that man’s face.  And he began again to speak softly of the loving embrace he had from ownership of this ornament.  This stopped the greedy man.  He turned once again to the owner.  And with a slightly different voice said, “Give me that orb.”

At the second and softer request, the owner gave the orb willingly.  The greedy man took it once again.  This time there was a distaste upon the greedy man.  But it was less intense.  For he understood that he had not understood.  And now he was willing to endure what came.  If only he might also have what the owner possessed.

He has granted sin to flourish in this Place of Testing.  By His wisdom He has created this place to test His own power to heal.  His Glory abounds among the men of sin.  And Healing is in His hand.  By jealousy He has caused many to fall before Him and confess.  By pride of man He has transformed many to be His children.

How great is the wisdom of He who lives forever!  That He should create this among us.  And how beautiful, beauty beyond words, is the Living God in Christ Jesus His Holy Son!  That we who have tasted that He is good, should be used to entice the greedy by their very greedy ways.  All praise to He who Heals eternally.  He has done this!  And it will be our lot to praise Him for His Beauty forever!

Amen!
