Holy Squalor


It is no shame for a man to live in the squalor of this world.  Let bugs and dust cover what he owns, it does not decrease his value.  Poverty is, and it takes its toll upon the prosperity of men.

But if a man is ashamed of the Living God and His holy Christ, what squalor surrounds him?  Though he lives in the greatest of splendor here, he is eternally impoverished, and filled to overflowing with shame.  Though he is forced to live as less, while he is here, the one who is ashamed of God while he lives in the shame of this world is impoverished for eternity.

Every man has the possessions he has.  And he has according to the place he has been assigned.  Yet how few reach to the things of promise.  How many accept their position of shame and think highly of themselves?

To this very day shame is harvested in abundance!   Where, among our things, is the prosperity of God?  Where is the strength that gives life?

There are holy kings who live among the bugs and dirt.  There are holy kings who live in rich abundance here.  These will not be ashamed as they stand before the Most High, for they have not been ashamed of him while they lived among their things.

So Be It!


I have said it before.  But it is worthy of repeat.

The world legalizes and enforces a “love” that is no form of love at all.

 

“You will embrace every man regardless his doings or beliefs.  You will coddle every lie; that it might find a place to live among us. 

If you do not, there will be penalty.  You will become a subject of a “One World Perspective”, or you will pay the price. 

This is our formal and authoritatively legalized command.  All who reject this will live outside our protective “love”.  You will be set aside and put on display.”

 

Then, Sir, put me on display.  Make an example of me.  For I announce to you, that your definition of love is false.  It is full of error and destined to fail before the Living God.  On the day He calls all men before Him to give account, your way will be found wanting.  I will not bend to your command to lie.

I do not accuse you before the Holy Father.  I simply stand in His Glorious Shadow of Righteousness and proclaim to you what is true and faultless.  There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is death.

There is a Love from the Living God that makes a difference between Righteousness and Lie.  This love will take its stance between God and man; between man and man.  There is a difference between those who love Him, and those who do not.

You have made your own laws.  You have defined the validity of words, according to the pleasure of your own wicked hearts!  God’s people listen to His definition of the very same words you use to express the lie of man.  There will be a distinct difference!

Righteousness is violent against what is wicked; by its very nature Righteousness cannot reside with lie.  There is no fault in Righteousness.  But you will fear it, for it threatens your “firm” foundation.

Let all who will, come to God.  Let understanding flow among men like living water.

You will certainly take this as a threat.  You fear everything you do not understand.  Your wicked heart is set to disregard everything Holy.  You define all men according to the darkness of your own hearts.

So be it.  You set yourselves as enemies to the Most High God.  Therefore, you separate the people of God as enemies to your cause.  So it is.  So it must be.

The Search


I am not an accomplished professor of all things.  There are vastly more things I do not know than what I do possess.  I am not a smart man, as men would call one smart.  I am vastly more a fool, than wise and elderly.

The time I have left, to be among the things of this world, is far less than the years I have already seen.  And my time to become what men speak of a “special” is passing quickly.  If it has not passed already.

But I will impart what I have learned.  Perhaps there is benefit to some.

I have examined the world from the perspective of sin, and found it utterly lacking.  In the way of sin, I have walked more vigorously than most.  And so I can testify with surety.  Life is not there.

I have examined other religions from a distance, as I sought release from my pathetic state.  I did not have time, nor inclination to immerse myself in their teachings.  To do so would have required pledging myself.  I did not possess such earnest intent.  Nor would time allow.

But every religion established by man is full of fault and worthless tripe.  None of them held sufficient truth to remedy my plight.  They said “do”, but I could not.  Therefore life is not found among them.

I examined the law of God and found it true.  I speak of the law of God as found in the Holy Bible, not as men say is the law of God.

I found the law of God in the Holy Scriptures to be founded on eternity.  But one does not need read far, to realize the Holy Law of the Living God is more than man can accomplish.

In the law of God I found life.  But by the law I found I was put to death.  At last my struggle is over.  But what should I do, am I to die?  Is that the summation of this struggle?  I still had desire to live.  So though law of God is life, I found myself dead in its reading.

Now I will testify of what I have found. 

There is one who has fulfilled the law of God on behalf of all men.  He is willing to enter a man’s sin and drive it out.

Now this is life!  All he asks is that I am willing.  Having searched what is, of course I am willing.

I have proof in my soul that he has come and made drastic change.  I have proof in this testimony that he is true and able to save.  I find that I believe.  So I proudly wear that name.  I find myself doing the things I thought were too hard for a man.

If I had last words, these would be it.  Search for all you will, you will not find anything greater than Christ Jesus.  He is Life!

Demise of The Faith


The Spirit of God moves among men with great strength and determination; holy and pure.  One he raises up, another he lowers to the depths.  The will of God has been and will be forever.

One man lets evil consume him.  While another is driven to what is good.  Evil rests upon the mass of men, still the man who desires what is good presses on.  The grace of God has gripped him.  He will do and become.  Holy desire is granted to him.

Be encouraged.  Be greatly encouraged that you may stand fast in the holy places granted you to stand.

It is like a man to do so, but it is not good that a man shall say to himself, “I will serve the Lord with great willingness as prosperity comes upon me”.  God Himself endures the wickedness of this place in his creation.  Yet with excellent patience and wisdom he waits.  How is wickedness in his creation prosperity?

With the mind of Christ within us, we perceive.  We endure as we are willing to receive.  Let poverty or even abuse assail us, the willing embrace what is.  

Shall we leave the great endurance to our Lord, and the holy men of before?  Shall we escape unscathed?  Isn’t it proper that we should take our place among the hated of this world.

Let the natural things come against us.  Let the Evil One and his minions attack for purpose of destruction.  We are called to stand firm.

Let us not say, by our doings, that God is unjust.  Let us not testify that he asks too much and provides too little for us to overcome. 

Strength to my brothers and sisters: let your soul look up.  We are not victims or pawns in a great horrible war.  We are called to be holy and kings in the beautiful kingdom of our God. 

Donning the patience of the Holy One we will stand.  Those who do not stand well will find their desire corrupt, should they even find desire to look.

Look to what is.  Understand the holy desire of God for all his people.  Count the things you have; those things of uncorruptible nature.  Embrace them as treasure and polish them to shining.

Let today become the beginning of becoming.  As our Superior Lord has done, let us set our face as flint toward overcoming.  As we look back we lose.  But as we purposefully strive forward, God is pleased and his bounty grows.  To he who has, more will be given.  And he will have in abundance.

I cannot help myself.  It is within me and I will speak it:

How desire rages within me to see God’s people full of fruit and maturity.  How I desire to find many wise men.  But they are few and difficult to locate.

When there is to be decisive division between the world and the people of God, I find a glass mixed with dung and pure water.  If a man would not drink such a thing, how is it we expect the Holy One to ingest our service?

No one has but that he has received.  Let us not think that God is not willing to give.  Those who lack, lack because of their unwillingness to ask.  They have loved this world more than the Holy One.  And their ways are known even now!

By this letter I am not asking too much.  God is willing to give!  Should we think his desire is less than holy and perfect?   Is it as many testify, “Salvation is but an evil trick among men”.  If the answer is no, how then should we remain as the Church is found today?

Where is The Faith?  Where is the power of God to save?  Where is the blazing testimony that is willing to die?  Sadly it has been siphoned off by the will of man in his evil intent. 

The form of religion has overtaken this people.  They have spurned The Faith and continued on in diluted fashion.  Their way is known.  And their appearance before the Holy throne of God is expected and demanded!

The work of man’s hands has attracted the attention of God’s people; all the glistening to the eye, all the enticement of the ear, and the aroma of all sins that lead away to death.  They have forsaken him for the pleasures of the day.

Is this truly the end of The Faith?  If so, we are very near the end of the day of grace. 

Let your heart understand.  Let fear race through your blood.  Cause understanding to consume you!  The time of death is at hand. 

If those first ones had said, “The day has appeared and the night is quickly vanishing.   Therefore let us walk as sober minded men.  Let us live as if in the daylight”.  How much more is that today?

May the will of the Holy One be done forever!  Those who desire to live, will live in righteous patience now.  Those who desire to serve, will serve with great faithfulness and endurance.  Let all else falter and fail. 

Even so, Lord Jesus come quickly.

Call to War


Many pawns, millions and billions, call them up to war.  The blind, the lame. the Deaf, the mute, call them just the same. 

Supply them all with black uniforms, and cover for their face.  Pass out the weapons, and be generous.  Quicken your steady pace.  Arm them freely, as even you have received.  Overload them with the royalty of their king.

Even now you approach the sound of battle.  The ranks are drunk with feverish loyalty.  They have been well fed on the things they love to ingest.

Two men will appear.  Two men will die.  You will praise the one who has kept you slave; sending gifts to one another with great thanks.

Soon, men of the world, you will be visited by your foes.  They will speak with great authority.  You will be tormented and hate them with vicious hatred.

They will unleash horrible torment upon you.  And you will all agree their death is warranted.  They disturb your peaceful sleep.  They rob you of the pride of life. 

They speak against your ways with venomous tongues.  Your men and women and children will fear what is next to come.  “Yes!”  You will say.  “These two must die!”

Prepare for war!  Then be prepared to be astonished.

You will give them no honor, even in their death.  But the Living God will honor them with life.

The Chasm of Difference


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.
