The world demands that Christians be demure and live in obscurity. Look how they threaten. Look how they isolate and murder our brothers. Look again, and see how effective their tactics are.
As it was in the beginning, so it is to this day. There are those who profess allegiance to God in their mind, but their thoughts are peniless, homeless vagabonds.
Offer them a house, and they gladly receive. For they have no house of their own.
By His Grace
Of the things of Heaven,
I have not a clue.
By force of hope,
I am thrust to trust you.
Not by sounds or syllables,
Are my ears confused.
But by the very truth,
You are forced to use.
You are our eternity,
Blessed and always to be.
While we are of the tiny things;
Death is all we see.
Cataracts born of temporary,
Obscure your Glory from me.
Yet I will dare to hope.
For what You say will be!
By His Grace
There can be no shame within me, to expose my lack before the Living God. For by such exposition, both I and His people are strengthened to what is “more”.
I cannot boast in my weakness. But I can address openly, the things the Lord exposes. And how His Holy expectation deserves an answer.
He is just and righteous among us all. His patience is for an accounting. He teaches with diligent intent. His desire is cast abroad.
If we listen, He is rewarded for His excellent Love. Yet if we balk, His desire is subjected to frustration.
Now we look to His patient love. With open heart, and eyes of the Holy Spirit, we turn to face Him. Approach with confidence, for this is the promise which He wrote in His Holy Blood.
What is His Holy Covenant, what value is it to us? The answer is dictated from our willingness to obey.
What provokes our lack? Isn’t it our unwillingness to believe? Is it not, then, our tiny faith that keeps us bound?
Come with me. Let us enter into His Covenant. Let us fan the flames of gifting, so that our faith might prosper. Race on before me, if you can! Then call back to speak of the beauties you perceive. Let us drive one another as far as we can. By our limit, we have tested the Lord. If we have found Him to be Good, why not break another link that our faith might fly free?
Thus there is no shame in exposing what lacks. For as one we enter in to He who is One.
What are you doing here?
Do you desire to desire?
Is the Love of God for doing tasks?
Or for drawing all men near?
We do and do but for what purpose, to spread the news or just perform? As I look back on my days of religion, I find a man with the tiniest of faith.
My belief was not worth a mention, for if I tried to voice my faith, it would have amounted to nothing more than an inaudible peep.
And the fruit of my faith was the same. A doing of things for the sake of the Gospel were done. But for what end? Where was the promise of the Holy One in what I did?
Those doings are long gone now. They were done with good intention. But there was no power of God in them. I was like a trained monkey in a lab; doing as I was taught to gain that treat I desired. This was my personal experience in the organized Church.
Where is the Fire borne Faith that Christ Jesus wondered about? “. . .when the Son of Man comes, will he find [the] faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8)
There is a vast difference between the faith of a man and The Faith from God. Atheists have faith that there is no God. What good is that to them? Christians may have faith that the words of God are true. But do those words give birth to that “new creation” He promised?
I offer the concept for examination. Each man or woman provides the answer.
Inspection of deeds, desire, and that certain becoming are necessary.
No one can know the severity of lack within, for no one has seen what God has prepared for those who love Him. Comparing the two is necessary for clarity. God alone knows how far short we have attained. Yet who dares ask Him to show, lest they are provoked to do what they are not willing?
On the other hand, if we are willing to be shown, what glories await?
God and His Holy Christ are seamlessly woven together. Isn’t that the desire of God for all His people? Don’t tell me that isn’t possible. Though I haven’t attained such a thing, I refuse to believe in anything less. If I am fallen short of such a life, it is I who remain chained to unbelief. If seamless Christianity is not possible, why did Jesus say this: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
What does the word “full” mean? By our actions we display our interpretation of the definition. Any child can tell you what “full” means. Why can’t adults?
Waiting with patience for the Kingdom of Heaven,
Is to be content with what is given.
Do we believe or don’t we,
That God will provide our every need.
Anxiety lurks like a thief in the night;
Looking for doors left wide open.
Waiting to pounce by delivering lust;
When greed says, “His promise is broken”.
By His Grace
Wash me with faith Lord Jesus,
Both for now and for that day.
Wash me with faith that all my sins
Should stay where my body lay.
Wash behind and in my ears,
For I’ve heard what people say.
And my tongue, my hands, my feet, and eyes,
Are not innocent in your “Way”.
By His Grace
We: Live, Die, Face Judgment. Jesus or die twice.
