  • If you are already famous blogger having hundreds of follower, then does your attitude has changed?

    • Pride is.  And immaturity exists, yes.  But as experience comes, both are found to be false and incomplete.  I have found that one follower is just as viable as 10 million.  My attitude has changed as the Lord Jesus has allowed me to testify.  I am but a servant of the Most High God in Christ Jesus.  Humility appeared.  Pride is diminished.  And maturity buds, like a tiny bloom on a sapling.

  • Why & How, you started your very first blog?,

    • I started my blog because I was fed up with trying to testify by my physical presence.  I could only reach one person at a time, in my body.  But the blog has allowed over 11 thousand “impressions” of Christ to appear in this wicked world.  Blogging may be considered a second rate form of writing by many.  But the effectiveness of dispensing the Gospel can’t be denied.
    • Was their fear in my first post?  Yes.  Why?  Because I knew how full of hate for the Gospel is every man’s heart.  As they hate the Living God’s Holy Son, they were about to hate me.
    • Why, then, should I risk their hatred and isolation associated with testifying for the Living God’s Son?  Because, as they hate the Lord, they also hate one another.  If they already hate me for being a man, let them also hate me for loving Jesus.
    • He is worthy of every possible suffering for His Holy sake.  And why should I not suffer for His Holy name, as have millions of others?

  • Your feelings before posting your very first post,

    • I was tired of watching the Righteous One be ignored.  I was tired of seeing men waste their lives in search of what cannot last.  I was tired of witnessing acts of murder; from simply being silent in the face of wickedness, to literal shedding of blood.  I decided to speak.  It’s that simple.

  • What is reason  behind your writing?,

    • I will live a life of testimony regarding He who is true.  I do not do this to secure a place in eternity.  I write that Jesus might be glorified in my otherwise ridiculously useless life.  I will take His Holy promises.  I will employ my soul on His Righteous behalf.  I will raise up the Holy Name of Jesus, the Righteous Son of the Living God.  And I will not shrink back.

  • How your blog is useful to others?

    • My blog is tiny.  Yes there are many posts, well over 2000 now.  But the usefulness of this accumulation of words is not for me to determine.  And if I could determine their usefulness, would that be useful?  It is better that I continue to write without hope.  Let me simply serve my Lord.  Pride waits crouched just outside the door of worship.  It is far better to serve without expectation of reward.  Humility makes no demands of others for praise.  Pride seeks praise without ceasing.

  • What is your purpose to write a blog?is it for professional use,for fun,only as hobby,for being a writer,for fame,increasing contacts,for sharing your thoughts,showing your skills?or any other?

    •  I write to allow God to have what is rightfully His.  In this unholy world, there will be a place within this man to allow Him to speak.  There is no other rightful reason to speak at all.  Everything else is trivia and will prove itself to be useless use of our ability to communicate.  If Christ is not glorified in our every moment, we have lived a relatively useless life.
    • Many will say this is trite.  They will consider that I speak of items far too high for a man to contain.  They will consider such words as too high minded to be real.  What’s that to me.  I know Him.  He knows my heart.  And I am not ashamed to have spoken of the highest possible expectation of purpose.

  • what are your expectations and dream as a blogger?

    • I desire to introduce 10,000 souls to the Holy Lord.  By the time this world comes to an end, may God bless Himself in this servant of His Holy Son, that He might take for Himself at least 10,000 souls into eternal joy.
    • My dream is to see His Holy Face without fear.  My dream I to stand shoulder to shoulder with those who were not afraid to testify on behalf of the Most High God’s Righteous Son.  My dream is to bring pleasure to the One who made me.  My dream is to ignore the threats of man, and embrace the joy of service to the Holy One.

Thanks to “itsmine”, the one who supplied these questions.  You can find his blog at negativethinker.wordpress.com

Stop by his blog.  Say hi.  Embrace one another in the Holy Name of Christ.  Support one another for His Holy Name’s sake.  Live Christ Jesus!

 

Amen.

Holy Becoming

Two teams of men accomplished the securing of position yesterday.  The glory of man has become theirs.  Oregon and Ohio, have established the sum of their training.  Accolades are given.  Hopes of many rise to tumult.  And a place of decision waits to see the victor appear.

But there is an accomplishing that transcends any glory of man.  There is a “sum of training” that waits to be revealed.  Accolades for such as worship the Holy Son of God await.  But it is not a tumult of pride for those who endure into “The Faith”.  It is a Holy Noise of praise for the One who bought them.  It is a life of Holy power to become His.

The victory has been secured.  The world knows nothing of it.  They worship the accomplishments of their own hands.  But we wait for the New and Holy Song to appear from within our secured souls.

Let us train now!  Let us believe, listen, obey and become today!  Why can’t we overcome and glorify the Living God with the sum of our training?  Isn’t it because we have balked at the expectations and willingness of His Holy giving?

The victory has been secured.  What is this victory?  That the Living God cannot lie.  If He has proclaimed us as belonging to His Holy Son, then we can rightly receive His proclamation.

Rise up today!  Become, for the sake of His Glorious and Holy Name!  Then the testimony of His Righteous Son will shine within us.  Then we have no shame.  Then we have no fear.  Then we witness profusely and without ceasing.  Then we do not struggle for words.  Rather, we become His Holy Word.

Encourage yourself.  We only fail to stand because we have not believed.

From Fear to Boldness

I just read the post of a person who is nearly beside themselves because they can’t testify regarding Christ.  Limited circumstances are driving them to desperation.

What an amazing disparity between the timid who will not speak, and those who are consumed with the fire to speak.

In myself I found the following to be true.  As I sat in fear, no strength was given to testify.  But the moment my trembling legs took my mouth to a certain place, strength came.  Boldness is given to those who let their faith loose.  Those who bottle it up will be given nothing but sustenance.

What’s this mean to you?  How can I know?  I know what it means to me, and to those tiny ones of Christ who rise to gargantuan proportion.

Testimony, Forgotten

There you are, my long lost friend!  I thought perhaps you’d gone.  Your Father has shown in the noonday light, so too his beautiful Son.

But you’ve hidden yourself, as if embarrassed.  A speck in the great sea of men.  Through darkness I looked and could not find, your shining example within.

But here through my windows I see you arise.  And a hope springs afresh with great joy.  Teach me by doing, and lighten my path.  Let me see His great works, o’holy envoy.

The Sharing

Reluctant to love.

It looks like a man.

But a candy bar, still wrapped, looks like plastic.

Do you know what’s inside?
You might if you asked.

But what a thoroughly dreaded task.

Soul or sugar; you can’t taste either without unveiling.

Why has our mind a taste for the sweet, yet our pride denies The Sharing?

Going out

I struggle hard to get used to it.  When I am not among people the sting fades.  The reality is remembered but the burden is softer.

Prayers are lifted.  Intent is sharpened.  I purpose to do well next time.  When it is time to venture out, desire consumes me to leave myself behind.  But I come along for the ride anyway.

Once with them, blinders of mercy strive to cover their sin.  But their behavior is so blatantly wicked, it is impossible not to notice.

The Lord has taught me his gospel.  And I wear a hat that speaks of eternity.  It is an emblem with a silver cross on a dark blue hat.  The words simply read “Think Eternity“. They see me coming and turn away.

Then the moment comes when conversation is inevitable.  This is the moment I dread the most, for now I will open my mouth.  Just a few words pass and the difference is clear; not only clear to me but brilliantly clear to them.

At some point you see them strive for opportunity to leave.  The simple witness of a man has opened a chasm.  Before they perceive it not.  But now it looms before them, bringing terror.

I did not speak the holy words of Christ in front of them.  That opportunity did not show.  But the views of life within me made themselves apparent.  And the differences between us are stark.

Yes, I dread going out to meet with people.  Not because they are wicked, but because I am such a weak fool.

Christ Jesus within me is strength beyond measure, wisdom eternal, mercy unending.  I look for opportunities to share what is within me.  But opportunity is a fleeting animal.

They are trained to avoid confrontation with the Most High God.  They are trained to love their neighbor by being inclusive and embrace their sin.  They are taught to avoid the confrontation between truth and lies.  And they have learned their lesson very well.
