righteousness of God | Words From There

It is not against The Righteousness of God that a man finds himself at war. The war finds itself in the battlefield of willingness.

The Righteousness of God is established forever. It wars against no one.

But let a man perceive the truth of life’s singular and constant war. It is waged without weapons or blood.

God stands firm in His Glorious Righteous ways. It is the man who finds his own limit.

What then? Where will a man stand on that Great and Horrible day?

His willingness alone dictates his position among the great throng.

Was he willing to lay down selfish desire? To what extent that appeared, the man will find his place before Him.

The Righteousness of God is as the battlefield itself. But the vicious war is attended to by the man and his willingness.

I looked and God focused my eyes.

What did I see, but a blazing inferno of Holiness.

I cried against the blast of heat,

“Where are You Lord?” My voice consumed by the roar.

Listening ear turned toward the flames, while fear and confusion rage.

Then I heard.

A word spoken, and not to my ear.

The mind understood, and the heart comprehended.

Yet no sound moved that ear drum.

“Here I am. Come into the flames.”

“I will die! For those flames have no passage way.”

I replied what I perceived to the spoken unspoken words.

“That is exactly the point.” Came the “understanding” again.

Desire for Him caused my feet to move forward.

And the horrible heat burned my soul.

Anguish and pain roared against my domain.

Yet, desire provoked me to walk.

I stood in the flame and beheld as I could.

And, with marvel, my sins dropped away.

Fullness of mind came to be mine, and I heard that unspoken word once again.

“You are clean now by My power and mercy.

Go back to your humble abode.”

“Oh Lord!” I cried out with a bellowing voice.

“Why can’t I stay here and learn?”

“I will teach you from here, to the place you live there.

And My ways you will learn in their full.

If you would desire to know what My will is for you,

you will find it among the people.”

By His Grace.
