John the Baptist (poverty-stricken, feared and faithful) :
“Repent from your sinful ways or die! Seek God’s kingdom and live.”
Silk tongued preachers (wealthy in the things of this world, beloved and accepted, and full of abomination):
“Jesus loves you. Do as you will. He will save you in the end.”
Notice any difference? Take note of the kind of people they are, who pay attention to the message of each.
The kingdom of God is real, so is hell. What God’s people say to the world matters.
“Now, you’re really beginning to get on my nerves! All you talk about is “god stuff”. What possible use is that to me? And how do you have the guts to poke it in my face 24/7?
Does it supply the paycheck? NO! I do that, and with all my might and will. Does it fix the car? Does this “god stuff” of yours help me compete against a ruthless horde? NO! I do that!
I’m sick of hearing about all this “heavenly, wonderful, useless crap”! Get away from me! I’ve had it with your filthy garbage.”
I paraphrase. But isn’t that the essence of your wordless thoughts? You have all the answers. Or you’re just jabbing at the air, in hopes that something will stick.
Look at your pathetic life. How many more “things” does it take to satisfy you? The answer is “endless stuff”. You live by the rule of selfish greed. Why, you won’t even give God His rightful place.
You take and take. For what purpose? There is no purposeful end in sight. If you got more money and more time to enjoy it, you’d fill up your filthy heart with more longing. There is no satisfaction to the life you claim is more important that the things of God. None!
Sit down and listen, while the day is still finding you clothed in skin.
You say, “I will do god things when I get to where God is.” You foolish man. In God, you live and move and have the being you praise so highly.
I wrote this to jar you up. I wrote this to shame your proclamation that you “Know” where God should remain. You post signs all over your soul: “God stay away!” “Keep out! Life in progress.”
He will stay out. But so will you! Now you bar Him from His rightful place as first among all your things. You will be barred from entry into the things of His Kingdom.
You will not do “god things” when you get to where God is! You will certainly be rejected and die alone, poverty-stricken, hopeless, abandoned and forever rejected from eternal life. A man gets what he wants in this life. What he wants dictates what he does. Those who desire God will do His Holy will HERE.
Open, O’ will of mine. Open to the Will of God! Sleep no more. Wake and open.
Receive those things He is so desirous to grant. Open and receive.
Leave these things of abomination! Seek the face of He who Lives Forever!
Stop! Turn. He calls your name.
Will you listen, O’ soul of mine? Will you hear His Holy words and do them?
If not, answer me! Tell me why you refuse. What restrains you?
He offers life! Why do you balk?
Open, O’ will of mine! Open to the Holy Will of God!
We speak the words of condemnation.
Do you listen?
Can you do what you know is right?
We speak the words of Purest Hope.
Can you perceive?
Can you imagine a life without sin?
Man is not flesh.
He is soul dressed in flesh.
The world knows this.
The soul has understood what the body denies.
Do they not avert their eyes from one another?
The eye is the window to the soul.
And by these tiny balls, one soul can see another.
What if you could live your life without sin?
What if you could drive your flesh according to the will of the soul?
This is not what man does, on his own.
Man allows the things of flesh to direct his soul.
But there is a life, in Christ Jesus, where we learn the inverse.
Mysticism teaches about such things.
They call it an “out-of-body” experience.
They perceive the key, but fail to accomplish.
They know that living in the body cannot produce true life.
They speak of leaving this place to experience “more”.
And they will tell you that man can do this himself.
Christians will tell you that is a lie.
Christians will speak of living an “in body” experience.
Christians will tell you that there is a place,
Where God will grant a man’s soul to be driven by the Holy Spirit of God.
Christians learn to drive the flesh into obedience to what is Holy.
Christians will testify that the body can become slave to the soul’s holy desire.
And Christians will willingly testify that this ability does not come from their own ability.
It is a gift of God in Christ Jesus, the Holy Son of God.
Transformation comes, in time, and the believer becomes the intent of God for man.
All the while Christians learn to obey the Holy Laws of God.
I am not speaking of those who call themselves Christian and go no farther.
I am speaking of those who believe to the “doing of the will of God”.
Can you hear what I am saying?
Is there understanding emerging from your soul?
I am not speaking down to you.
I’m trying to wake you to the truth of our life here.
Men go about providing for the flesh all day long.
But what about the, more important, soul?
Do you yearn to be free from the wicked things you find yourself doing?
You will not be free if you continue to allow your flesh to dictate the day’s doings.
Condemnation abounds against us for such things.
For your flesh desires only the things of this world.
It knows nothing of heavenly things, nor desires it.
And we all, all men, know better.
For we ARE soul.
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20)
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7)
We: Live, Die, Face Judgment. Jesus or die twice.
