Revelation that's personal

I once heard, "A man is not able to understand who he is until he's been given the revelation of his real worth no matter where he finds himself".

Many walk the face of this earth unsure of who they are and as many more why they are here as the result of not knowing where they came from.

Because they do continue to maintain the ability to walk and present themselves as if survivors that alone seems to prove something to the fair amount of those who are willing to believe what their life story puts on display.

Some persons consider themselves as "Anchored" because they've embraced the personalities of those which have physically ushered their bodies into this world.

While others will consider themselves fortunate having encountered a parental "Mentor" as if the replacement of those that were found to be less enjoyable. To put it bluntly someone else to compare themselves to.

All the above can only hope to speak to the mind of the soul as well the condition of the body in which that same mind indwells. Some might even go as far to suggest both of the above more closely defines the remaining results of the mind of their "Flesh".

What if the question were posed, "How does one find his spirit if their spirit is something which can't be seen"?

Can a person prove their spirit or does their spirit prove them?

The following was once said concerning a specific people.

1 John 4:6
We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
NIV

Not to make too much of it but the author intentionally chose to express the spirit of truth with a capital "S" and the following with a lower case "s" (falsehood). Either way both are mentioned as a spirit(s) yet obviously each exist in two separate "Hoods".

Does simply speaking "Words" meet the requirements of having been spoken from the mouth of God as if the truth or does that consideration require something more?

Every voice that speaks always has Intentional motive(s). Intentional motive to mean the driving compulsion which caused the voice to speak in the "First" place.

When I say "First place" I say that to mean a voice as if, "One of authority".

I personally believe that all men come into this world from the womb more than prepared to ask the endless supply of questions his own imagination can dream up. He has so many questions about that which is true that he's destined for failure from the beginning unless He encounters and believes the truth.

Logic might suggest man can survive because he has, yet the question still remains "How and in what condition does he find the entirety of himself (3 part being) after the limits of time have elapsed?

Logic should also conclude that a persons body returns to the earth. Upon further investigation logic would also conclude the body then returns to its natural state (dirt/dust/ashes).

What could lead logic to such a conclusion?

Where do most all of our bodies get placed despite what we confess we believe with regards to being possessed by a spirit once we're dead?

Obviously most end up in the ground by some method, yet I can easily admit that some do  manage to live on the in the minds of others from inside a urn on a shelf or mantle.

I've attended many funeral viewings in my life time. Some of the more common statements heard are "They look so peaceful" or "They're in a much better place where they are now"!

Were they speaking about their physical body just before it got buried or were they also expressing the details concerning their soul(s)?

Are we as confident as they are where they now find themselves or is that a summation that's based on everything that caused them to be considered "Good" because their life exhibited all the good things we too might enjoy?


Luke 16:25-26
But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' 

Luke 16:27-28

"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' 

NIV

Many are comfortable with knowing where the body ends up because they can "prove" where it lies. Many are comfortable assuming they know where their soul will end up. Yet few are willing to acknowledge the depths of all a mans Heart, Mind and Soul truly means to God.

You are aware the above consideration could require a life time (however long that might be) to get to know? There are some who do get a late start in this process and one of which includes myself.

I sometimes have to view the "Everything" that is and is also found to be within my heart, mind ans soul as if something I truly don't or maybe "Can't" fully fathom.

It's as if I had to come to the realization that if I don't fully know myself at any given moment there must be an even greater possibility that I alone don't completely understand the importance of being forgiven of all wrong doing(s).

Especially so if I alone am not the judge or law maker which determines what is right or wrong.

Once the soul realizes what ALL means in terms of forgiveness, that can only soul only then begin to realize ALL that Love is capable of.

Many have have fallen in love with who they assume they are outside the consideration and need of a Savior, yet how many have fallen in love with "Who" the Lord says we were to the point we now live as if He did Save of from the intentions of something greater?

John 16:27
No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
NIV

Matt 22:37-39
Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind .'   This is the first and greatest commandment.
NIV

What's amazing at times is that man will acknowledge just about every evil spirit on every evil corner as long as that same spirit remains one that isn't deemed as one that has effectually influenced his own personage?

Is that denial or lack of knowing who God truly is? That is to suggest we can pick and choose or deny what the spirit of God is said to performs as while taking up an inhabitants while in this world?

Why can't it be just that easy in order to determine which spirit is of God and which spiritual expression(s) God not only defines, but also considers to be from the presence of all that is "Evil"?

Who doesn't want to consider eternal life as a Good place to end up? Who doesn't want to consider themselves as somehow making it there?

How easy it to see your self there if all you have to do is produce the names and faces of those thought to be less deserving than YOU so that you make it in?

All these are simple questions, yet what is the truth concerning the entire consideration which pertains to a "Life" which gets to enjoy the length of eternity as if a personage?

If life is all about reward how rewarding does the thought of eternity seem while knowing that true life is something that's only found in Christ Jesus OUR savior?

Notice I didn't suggest only my savior, but OUR(s)?

Hot, Cold or Luke warm, how do you like your truth served?

Would it be a fair and accurate statement, "Everyone has their own taste"?

How might it also prove to be that just as many have and hold to their own interpretation as to all that truth is at any given moment?

The word genre' when used in artistic circles suggest the essence of ones own personal taste.

Imagine trying to find the art work of Picasso and Rembrandt in the same art gallery where Railroad art is the headline attraction?

Even better imagine trying to find Chitterlings on the menu of a fine French restaurant?

Would the enjoyment of a specific genre' suggest that all other opinions outside of our own are of lessor value or would it be more accurate to say ones own personal interest (opinion) dictates the value of art?

We've all probably heard "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", yet does that saying maintain its consistency with respect to the person which desires in earnest to discover the truth?

I suppose it would depend upon just how beautiful truth is to that individual?

Having either forgotten, over looked or just devalued the thought of what the Lord detest, where has that lead any of us? As if taste testing the different genre' of belief systems which can be found among humanity?

Far too  many seemed to have placed more importance upon what their own preferences are instead of investing their time seeking out the sweet savory smell as to what the Lord enjoys.

The Lords appointed author of Proverbs uses the expression of something being considered as sweet. That inference can also interpret "Fancied, liked or enjoyed" dependent upon its surrounding words.

Some refer to the surrounding environment of a word as its "Context".

Allow this question to be asked if you will, "What is the context of this single text below from Proverbs 13:19"?

Can what is being expressed through words stand on its own merit (authority) or does it need your opinion being added before you accept what's been said?

Once again I suppose it would depend upon the truth and who YOU believe establishes every consideration as if the only "Truth"?

Prov 13:19
A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.
NIV

The person reading this can make some sense of it based on how they relate to the words they understand, yet what about those words they don't seem to have a grasp of?

My point is that 100 different people could be asked to define the words in bold print above, yet how many differing understandings (interpretations) might be expressed as their response?

As if to ask, "What is a longing in specific terms? What is a soul? What is evil?

Now lets ask the last word a little differently as, "What do you consider to be evil?

Basically, does man suggest that each word requires it's own judge (interpreter) before there is a mutually understood power to be found within a given word?

In order for each word to be mutually understood that notion then requires two or more coming into agreement, yet is THE question "Who have you agreed with"?

The point I'm trying to make is, "Do you see how adding the single word "You" changes the whole dynamic of the question being asked? As if to say, "The question asked is only governed by one opinion which is  your own (alone)"?

If you'll allow this question having also set to the side your personal thoughts concerning religion the way you've historically understood it, how would you interpret what you read, "What is being suggested through the use of the words you see below"?

2 Cor 2:14-16
For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task?
NIV

What all religions seem to enjoy fighting over (even to the point of death at times) is, "The Who and or What is it that defines the ONE true God"? The same God that hung the stars, divided the oceans, gave shape and form to earth as well populated its surface with different creatures.

Basically, who can establish, reinforce and who gets to wield this authority as if to speak for an otherwise invisible God?

If you were to manage your thoughts to where you do believe in the 'Need" of a savior, what is your opinion of the person that exalts their own opinion above ALL others?

The opinion whose hope is to deceive not only ones self but others? To deceive in such a way as if to somehow alter the outcome of the future by way of exalting their own valued opinion today?

Such an opinion which requires others to agree (be popular) as if it gives strength to it. Where then is there room today for the opinion that will prove itself to be righteous as if leading to the final outcome?

Feel free to now reapply what YOU choose to believe concerning this Life, Death and Eternity?

Can you see how each can also be differently defined based on what we each hold as an opinion that we believe which then dictates how we handle each of the above considerations (life, death, eternity)?

Many have a deep longing to taste a sweet eternal "Life" after their physical body dies because that thought provides the comfort of somehow being found as if they were "Right", while others see death as simply the dark matter where all lights go out.

What if you were to consider that a mans Soul never dies whether you're found right or wrong?

How would you then find the need to understand not only what a mans soul consist of, what happens to that Soul AND "Who" then determines (Judges) what happens to that Soul once the body does die?

I think it safe to assume that most at least believe that our bodies all eventually die as each then finds some degree of comfort in knowing where their bodies will then rest in a grave or in a urn on a fireplace mantle.

Yet, they'll not truthfully consider or acknowledge "What does man know beyond doubt about where the soul goes?

I urge you to investigate where your soul goes after the bodies death yet more importantly to investigate beyond all doubt. Why? Because when your soul does meet with its eternal destination the only choice(s) which matter then are the ones you've already made.

Until you know beyond doubt, most people's faith has been based on fear. A fear of all that you don't "Know" beyond doubt while "Choosing to believe" all that you've been told about all that "Love" is and does.

The powerful question should be, "Who told you what you've chosen to believe about ALL that Love is"? Based on what authority has such an opinion found itself powerful enough to remove any doubt(s)?

Is what you choose to believe only a simple matter about whether or not you've believed a lie about what does take place after this life OR is about the lie you've believed concerning ALL that Love is, has already done and is prepared to do?

How will you know and what will be the undeniable evidence once your Soul does pass over the next realm?

People love the analogy where they'll paint "All Men as being equal" yet they'll allow the thought that each man chooses their God differently.

There's a difference between what is considered a God having been created in the "Imagination" of men as opposed to The God as the creator of ALL things both great and small.

What if the qualifying question before all mankind were as simple as, Which God in the mind of men also defines all that Love is and does as if the Only God that is True?

Would that notion then cause YOU to then be the judge which makes the over riding decision concerning your Soul's destination? Would that not assign you as the one which determines who the One true God is?

There are very few descriptions of a man while considering all that God is. There is one that that assumes they are the God of their choices made, there's one that chooses to fear God and there is the one that has been brought to maturity having discovered the true nature of their creator.

The latter now being evidenced by the realization that man is truly nothing without finding himself to be in agreement with the God that is also True.

There's a lesson to be learned from everything God has created and that includes ourselves (Man) having also been created in His likeness.

Rom 1:20

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse . 

NIV

The hearts and minds of men have become consumed with the concern that others are judging them. How does that square with YOUR own consideration for everything which truly defines not only who "Your" God is, but also what your God has done for and through your fellow man which He also created (made)?

Is the God you serve FOR you AND your eternal benefit at all times or do you perceive your God as if only FOR you at differing moments?

Is your God a mystery never to be understood? If so, then what purpose would living life then serve and how could you ever have a true hope of being "Understood"?

Is Your God hard to reach when you have need to make contact with? Does He always confirm what you believe about Him or does Your God let you down because of what you didn't know about Him?

Once the evidence of either of the above does arrive, do you then find the conclusion as if your opinion to be in "Agreement" with Your God?

The way a man gets to know his true God is to willingly allow that same God to mold and make YOU like Him.


1 John 4:16-17
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love . Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.
NIV

If not then how can you call your God Lord of heaven and the earth in which you exist as the God that Loves you?

If every man could have or maybe find himself capable of creating his own God, would it not then make it clear why there seems to be so many differing Gods in the mind of humanity? Enough to where such a broad exception then accommodates everything that is not like God?

As if multiple Gods which then approve of the many different things man seems to enjoy doing while assuming he alone is right?

I encourage you to become not only a reader, but also a believer. Not everything man sets his mind and heart to do is justified as if he alone is righteous in ALL that he does.

Who will approve of what you do as the direct result of what you also believe?

Every religion has its own written doctrine which has been penned (scripted) by the hand(s) of men, yet one opinion will choose not to believe because of what has been written by mere men (alone).

As such that is "Written" which then proves itself to be trustworthy throughout every episode that's been presented by humanity.

So is your opinion of God one that is "Right" only because of what you've based your opinion on or is YOUR God one that is considered to be true

Is the existence of your God one that is based upon what you've been told about Him and choose to believe or is your opinion of your God based on how he's proven Himself to be righteous in ALL that that's been said about Him?

With respect for a God that is true, that consideration leaves zero room for the opinions of man that might otherwise look to project Him as anything but the "Truth" concerning everything He also created.

Rom 3:21-26
But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. 
NIV

Don't expect others to honor your God given right of passage

Encouragement is not simply fluffing another's "Ego" with flattering words. Such an ego as if a set of scales where someone already knows within their heart such flattery is not true.

Encouragement that's true follows suit with teaching the hungry man "How" to fish when you're not there.

Man being part spirit also comes from the womb with some degree of spiritual intuition. That's not to say it will always be accurately applied, but still we all come wired in such a way. Enough that is that we can all at minimum recognize the truth when we hear it.

What we each do with what we hear is a completely different Novel being written.

When could someone insult this spiritual ability as if they were somehow able look into a matter concerning that which is True?

I might suggest, "How can a person weigh or measure the depth of a matter if they don't believe certain things also have a very "Specific" weight or standard against which to measure?

Prov 20:10
Differing weights and differing measures — the LORD detests them both.
NIV


Mic 6:11
Shall I acquit a man with dishonest scales, with a bag of false weights ?
NIV

What is true and does matter, is speaking only what God has said about another being enough that they're given the opportunity to one day "Realize" the truth within what you've said.

Does the question then arise, "How will I know with enough confidence in order to speak or how can I know what God has said concerning another"?

My answer, "Because of the what you believe to be true which He also spoke about YOU"!

That thought should cause us to mine out what He has said concerning His children and His desires for all those that have not received Him as if their (Divine) Father.

What many shy away from even today some 2.000 years beyond Christ visitation is what the Apostle Paul made mention of concerning that which is from the mouth of God because it is true. 

It points us towards the type and shadow of a very specific form of suffering that also accomplishes Gods desires for us as His children while being formed into mature children (Sons) which are His (that know beyond doubt that they DO belong to Him). 

It's also the least understood process when the thought of suffering cost us nothing in the form of all that we so selfishly desire within an immaturity that so easily can blind as if to prohibit us from seeing the greater depth of that which is True.

Phil 3:15-16

All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. 

NIV

Matt 7:12

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. NIV

The only increase in another persons life which will prove true comes by only by way of the Lord and that being the Holy Spirit.

In economic terms closing (finalizing) a deal takes time. That being said, many find themselves only as good as their last deal that was made within that understood and afforded economic environment..

Finding yourself in agreement with another in the moment is not the end of the matter. Coming to final terms in contractual matters can take much sorting or fleshing out.

Why? Because the results of any dispute which could arise can then be interpreted by a third party that also understands the binding words within the contract (agreement) that was mutually drawn up.

Anything being newly interpreted is just another step taken in the direction of finding justification you then hope to employ as the continuance of what you've already been doing which has zero regard for being considered right or wrong.

The end result(s) of a dispute of any matter will always undergo some form of arbitration which then holds both parties to an agreement accountable. If you can put that question to rest your more than part way to where you need to be.
.
In my opinion the reason why laws are written in such hard to understand languages is due mostly to a corruption already in the heart(s) we all seem to know that has the propensity to rise up at any "Given" moment should the temptation be given the right of passage enough that it overcomes.

Corruption being understood and seen as if "The ability to change ones mind in the face of a previously made agreement".

Basically the very reason from the beginning where lack of total trust in the character of the individuals involved is never thoroughly examined, otherwise why enter the agreement?

That is to suggest, otherwise a simple hand shake could suffice, solidify and maintain the original deal that was made.

A "Will" on the other hand has a much different heart beat.

In order to receive the dispensation(s) which presents itself by way of the "Will" having been predetermined, requires the recipient do not much more than to be able to prove their identity as the "Intended" recipient.

I once heard an analogy phrased as, "Finding food under the pillow of the orphan should come as no surprise". 

To complex of an example? Not if one knows the behavioral motivations that would cause an orphan to plan ahead for their next meal.

How long does it take to prove your true identity as such that can survive all other accusations to the contrary? Better yet, what would cause anyone to refute your identity being claimed in any matter?

What if it were all about your "Faith" as if to suggest your identity can only be proved by way of the one you have instilled your faith in? What if there is no other way to prove that you're a child of God? 

If it were clearly understood that testimony about you (that is also true) can not come from you? How would you then find yourself? Can any testimony be true that is not recorded in the place where such a claim maintains itself because it validates that which is True?

How difficult would it then be for a said "Child of God" to somehow prove such a claim if the realms of heaven are otherwise invisible to the other person?

Jesus was performing the humanly impossible (unable to explain) which also defines the essence of a miracle.

Jesus basically had His identity summoned as if from the high courts of humanity that also assumed that they understood and held the keys to Godly matters here in the earth better than any others as is recorded here below.

Examine closely how he responded when ask for His Identification?

Matt 21:23-25

Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. "By what authority are you doing these things?" they asked. "And who gave you this authority ?"

Jesus replied, "I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. John's baptism — where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or from men?"


Matt 21:25-26

They discussed it among themselves and said, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Then why didn't you believe him?' But if we say, 'From men'-we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet."
NIV

The place where truth is the highest authority of the day which is also "Today" and forever will be should be the only thing that matters.

Such testimony can only be proved true as though it were an entry made about you within the books which also reside in heaven.

What was your last agreement made and were you true as if to yourself?

Being transformed and enjoying the process of being transformed can be worlds apart. One speaks to suffering and the other the denial of your self because you do "Know your right(s)".

On far to many occasions as said believers we've seemed to have fallen in love with the mystery of the words "All things being equal". Being "seen as" and considering only ourselves as something of greater importance is the root of our own corruption.

Either way those rights of others "Should be seen" as if they were your own. What are your God given rights?

If you don't know them how can you share in their benefits having been expressed as if "Equally"?

Man attempts to establish his own rights yet "Will" they hold and support his accompanying theories beyond the grave?

Making room for the enemy

This is yet another lengthy post so be warned you might want to get that cup of coffee before you start reading.

I'm glad you've stopped by to share a moment of your time. I pray that you'll be enriched having taken that time to share some of my thoughts.

In order for a person to judge someone as an enemy (offender) they must not only understand their own "rights", but also the importance of the sovereignty which governs and reinforces those same "rights" equally.

Man seems to have a sweet love/hate relationship in having established rules and laws. Somehow laws bring him comfort as long as he thinks himself innocent of NOT having violated those same rules/laws.

Many today also seem to enjoy unspoken laws which are supposed to define what a good relationship is and how it mutually performs.

There also seems to be a favorite past time man has and that being "Figuring a way around having the enforcement of those same laws also to apply to himself"? Enough so that is to where he always finds himself innocent of an offense.

What if there was only one "right" available to everyone?

One to where it's written as though "All men get to enjoy the thought of being innocent of any offense towards another"?

It's enforcement being, should this one right of another ever get violated it then becomes "Pay Back" time to those who've been offended?

Let's just say out of generosity we mutually decided to add that we're all entitled to what many have fallen in love with as "Happiness". That is to suggest "finding ourselves happy and at all times"?

If you could then somehow find a way to properly manage these mandated allowances you could then "Truly" enjoy the opportunity within the "Freedom" to pursue both?

I think where many might get lead astray would be due to their individual interpretation of the hinge word as if their "Freedom" to do so.

I think many assume the word "Rights" and "Freedom" are interchangeable in their use and once misinterpreted they get dragged kicking and screaming into the light of their individual and "Proper" context

What if all rules and laws were reestablished as if only your God given "Right"? How would they read if they were considered to be the conditions under which you then get to "Enjoy" the continuation of your endeavor to be found Innocent of an offense towards another person"?

How would you be found and if found guilty of offending someone else, how could you be cleared of the offense?

One last consideration, "What if the person of God were to be considered as one that you could also offend"?

If you were the only one determining whether or not something you said or done was an offense would the matter then all boil down to whether that someone was also a person that you want or are trying to have a "Close" relationship with?

The picture of an enemy and how one gets made should be starting to form right about now?

The easy choice would be to deny the offense ever took place. The second choice might be to try and hide the evidence that might prove you guilty and the third to somehow create a disguise for yourself so you could move about freely having been found guilty while trying to prevent being recognized by others.

What would be your plea be if all the above didn't work out like you planned and you were once again caught, tried and convicted? How many enemies do yo have now?

Do you serve time as if paying back to humanity what was stolen or do you serve the one that paid for and gave back to you the prior state of mind (freedom) as if you were once again  thought of as "innocent"?

Either way it gets asked the only one that can restore you through the process of extending forgiveness is the one that was considered innocent before your violated "Their" rights.

The completed cycle where repentance and true forgiveness meet in agreement looks nothing like it did before. One might suggest that forgiveness has its way while others the thought that having accepted the  repentance that was true lead to forgiveness.

Many serve time yet that's all they serve. Some abuse forgiveness and some make poor use of leniency (mercy) shown only to come full circle being found guilty as repeat offenders time and time again and are usually forever labeled as such by those that have been violated.

What is the habitual offenders model plea, "If you'll forgive me and show mercy, I promise that I'll never do it again"

How would you then see "Laws" as if the enforcement of such a "Right"? That single right as if it were the only God given right to where we then pursue the cause and importance of the innocent?

As if one people that value and uphold all efforts which are "For" the consideration of  those that deeply desire to be found as if "Innocent"?

So by now you've reached the conclusion that we've at minimum have all at least lied.

By most standards that accepted notion levels the playing field which then makes lying not such a big deal, right?

Maybe the consideration of a lie being the "Minimum" or "Minimal" petty crime is the root cause of those assumed greater crimes?

How many times have you ever found yourself offended, yet only after further time had passed you realized that someone had violated what "You" understand as your own said "Right(s)"?

Maybe it was your right to free speech as if your were denied "Your" expression of "Self"? Was your being denied an act of theft?

Maybe later evidence surfaced where you discovered someone to be a "Liar"?

Having believed their lie(s) while trusting the person, the physical evidence of the lie(s) then surface. It surfaces as the net result (theft) in their having taken something such as your wife, husband, child, property, honor or for heavens sake "Your Trust"?

I'm of the opinion that a "Lie" is simply an instrument used by a thief in order to get close enough to you or your property to where it can be more easily taken from you. Often times so that it might appear on the surface as if by way of your own immediate consent.

Maybe a thought "Friend" that managed themselves enough to where they got close enough to steal from you?

My point is that enough time had lapsed to where more specific knowledge eventually came your way which then presented the "Entirety" of the matter in a much different light.

Is that different light such where you somehow place yourself in the shoes of someone else even if only for a moment?

John 3:19-21
This is the verdict : Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."  
NIV

Maybe you've found yourself commenting about the offense of someone that isn't in you inner family circle.

As if to suggest unfair judgement where someone else's child got off easy in your opinion in your saying, "If that had of been me or one of us, they would have given the electric chair".

Maybe you were watching someone else's child on TV that had been rightfully caught red handed in a crime where you then just blurted out, "THEY deserve everything they get"!

It's easy to assume specific rights we seem to want to enjoy trusting, yet what if we individually fail to uphold those same rights by way of not leading those offended to their own "Justice'?

It's easy to say "Justice has been served" when we read where a once convicted rapist then gets raped when sent to prison or maybe we hear where the early released murderer that meets with his early demise?

When I say "Upholding the Rights" I'm suggesting the "Full" benefit's of justice being applied equally to others and at all times only because you refuse to let yourself off the hook when you've been proved to be the offender?

How close to the precise definition of "Accountability" does that come?

I'm not talking about "True" innocence in the face of a false accusation, I'm talking about being guilty of the charge (accusation) being presented?

Why are liars allowed off the "Hook" of justice? Is it because those judging have been proved to be liars at another time or are we're simply "Making room" for our own future lies told by not finding all "Liars" guilty?

One of many phrases which seem to have lost potency today in western culture is, "God given right".

What if after you read this you only later discover that it might be you that is the poor and needy which finds yourself in need of those same rights?

One might also see why believers are called to visit those in prison as if by chance they were only imprisoned because they were found guilty as charged? What if there were a prison for liars and not just thieves and murderer's, rapist and pedophiles?

Is the root offense of violating some one's right that cut and dried? As if to suggest there's a difference between the convenience store thief that robbed at gun point over and above the banker that steals from his clients? 

Is the root consideration more to do with the potential for "Violence" for which one gets handled more severely having each committed theft by taking? Or the root of the "Offense" is never addressed as severe enough to try and exterminate it? 

Did they both realized a gain as the net result? Is the only difference in that the banker lied instead of use a gun in order to realize his net gain? 


Prov 31:8-9
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." NIV

It's easy to wink at situations when others need their rights upheld and supported, yet what if it were you instead?

A right is only as valuable as is the strength of its own governance. That governance being the extent to which said rights are being enforced.

What if God were devalued in the mindset of such a culture? That to mean the cultured perception of a "God" which provides said rights to mankind?

Rights which get mismanaged so poorly that it produces very little esteem towards His (Gods) opinion concerning established governmental oversight? Does it all boil down to the enforcement or the lack there of to where tolerance being carried forward in time then becomes the rule of the day?

I'm of the opinion that the unrighteous law makers won't write into law the same law they think God will find as an offense unless they too are at least presently willing to walk the same white line.

Writing a matter into law is one thing, yet anticipating the possible end result of ones own future action(s) is an act where the LAW gets abandoned from inception. In doing so in such a manner those scripting said laws have simply made room for others to follow behind. 

The closet or open homosexual won't right laws that would undermine their self perceived rights. Nor will the thieves changes laws which could prevent in the future a realized "Illegal" monetary gain for themselves.

I digress though as this is not about politicians as much as it the essence and evidence of a corrupt mind.

Far worse, what if a culture/society devalued to the right to where God ceases to be the dominate influence within the thoughts/decisions being made within this culture? Is this not robbery of a different color?

Liars don't just wake up one morning and decide they're going to lie to the surrounding world in order to get what they want and neither did the thief that robs at gun point.

Simply put each just found their own method of manipulating their surroundings in order to take what did not belong to them.

So, maybe the real question is "How small does a lie start out and how big do they get? Big enough to rob from the people that come to THEM because they're trusted or bold enough to where they come to YOU at gunpoint?

Many choose not to believe in a God which completely understands the importance of justice served, yet why do they trust more in man that is living Proof of the injustice being carried out here in the earth?

The rules have not changed, yet mercy is still available prior to the arrival of the pronounced sentence already given.

Don't just live for today and all that it holds, Live for the cause of the One that was innocent yet found guilty as charged by the judgment and reasoning of humanity.


Matt 27:3-4
When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. "I have sinned," he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood." 
NIV


Mic 7:
Because I have sinned against him, I will bear the LORD's wrath, until he pleads my case and establishes my right. 
NIV

Many having refused the thought of the importance of a prophet today have also thrown out the sound of the prophets voice that might otherwise remind them of an offense that was and still is considered to be against the Lord.


2 Sam 12:13
Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." 
Nathan replied, "The LORD has taken away your sin.
NIV

Be thankful that God is not the respecter of persons. It would be a bad thought that as Our God, that He could somehow find also himself deceived by the persuasive expressions of men. 

Men which allow themselves to be deceived by their own devices having convinced themselves they are also a friend of God because of what they "Say" having managed to also see and know themselves well enough to get close.

Believe in Mercy and trust in Judgement, yet don't seat yourself as the jury serving sentence until you've understood what causes people to find and appreciate all that True mercy is and becomes.

Misinterpreting the obvious while safely assuming

As it pertains to the so called "Obvious" things in this world, how often do they get ignored?

Try and picture an egg held in front of a candle as if trying to see what's on the inside because the outer shell otherwise prohibits (obscures) your eyes from seeing as you consider the image painted below.


Luke 11:36
Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you."  
NIV

If the word ignore were describing the action that is NOT taken as the direct result of what we do hear or see, would it describe you as if a non-responder?

Luke 12:47-48
"That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much , much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. NIV

Some might argue that being ignorant interprets as someone that doesn't "Know" any "Better"

As if a state of mind that is physically observing with the eyes and ears (taking notice) yet fails to respond according to an otherwise thought standard response because they simply didn't know.

Ignorance has it's place, yet not as something that's going to find itself believable while standing in the "Light" of the "Truth".

Luke 12:46
The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers. NIV

Many try to hide behind the excuse of what they state they don't know while refusing to allow the light of truth to examine them, yet what will truth have to say when He comes?

I guess you also have to believe what truth says or otherwise be judged an "Unbeliever"?

I suppose as part of such a consideration it would also require the said "Standard" response would also have to be one that is being "Widely" accepted as if the norm of what's commonly acceptable?

I suggest to you that "If" your waiting on the world around you to believe the full force of truth is coming, you'd also need to understand the need for encouragement from those of like mind that DO believe while existing in a world of struggling believers?

I would suggest that YOU do your own survey of those that are NOT doing what they know otherwise they NEED to (should) be doing and tell me what you see and determine what a TRUE believer is and does?

Just make sure you're judging what you see in the light of the (eyes of) "Truth" as well "yourself" within a survey that is also being truthful otherwise don't waste the time.

As part of the truth, when unbelievers judge imperfect (said) believers as if "Hypocrites" they in all truth are passing judgment on themselves as if stating they know more as to what believers are supposed to be doing and acting like enough to where they label them.

Just food for thought.


I remember watching the televised interview of a man that was on the shore of the Potomac river when a airplane crashed in it years ago. Reporters had found out that he had rescued several people (including children) from the plane crash having risk his own life.

They also pointed out that he was also a father having dove into the icy waters only later to be recognized as a Hero.

He was asked, "Can you tell us why you did it"?

He just smiled and responded, "I guess I didn't have time to think about it. What else was I supposed to do, I just dove in because it seemed like the only right thing to do in the moment"!

If the response of this man were to define everything that is NOT ignorant of a matter, how would you compare?

Did he ignore the thought of the icy waters he dove into or did he just "Be" who he "Is" in the moment? Did he ignore the risk of losing his own life responding the way he did?

Where does truth come into play?

Some might suggest that he was foolish for risking his life for a stranger. Some could be critical in his having ignored the thought his children could end up fatherless.

A broad question in light of today's "Accepted" standards, "Are we becoming a people which are comfortable living within the state of mind where we find ourselves maximizing the propensity we all seem to have when we Ignore specific things in life?

Believers today "Know" all to well more about themselves than do "Unbelievers" enough that their own ears repeatedly hear being offered their ready made excuse, "We've ALL have sinned and fallen SHORT of the glory of God".

How dose that square with everything Jesus said he came to destroy as well everything the wrath of God is eventually going to physically destroy?

News flash, "That fall from Gods glory which includes us ALL took place before you were even born".

That is to suggest, "When we ignore a matter does that qualify us as if we didn't know in the moment or one where we make the conscious choice to be ignorant in the "Given" moment we also believe God gave us?

What if later down the road of life a similar episode were to repeat enough to where those same thoughts were tried once more? The thoughts where you DO stop to consider why NOT to respond a certain way?

Would you choose once more to ignore or would you knowingly make the choice to ignore the matter one more time? How many of those type incidents need to occur before you accept that your choice was directly due to choosing to remain "Ignorant" of a matter?

I suppose if we didn't have a conscience that makes attempts to remind us how we "Should or could" have responded or "How" we should have acted?

How does the example of the said "Hero" find itself as if the comparison within the consideration as "What to do"?

Is it that we choose to fail to take notice from day to day as to what or who others remind us of or is it because we've consciously moved such things to a blind spot in our logical reasoning where the bliss of ignorance reigns supreme?

As if to say, "You might say he was a hero, but I don't think he was thinking clearly having done what he did because he didn't first stop to think about......?

Is it that we find ourselves paralyzed by fear or is it that we've become intoxicated with the excuse that we didn't know or didn't see what really "Took" its rightful place in a moment of time?

Want to put it to the test?

Show up on site of a towering burning building where you can hear babies crying out from inside and people (total strangers) hanging outside windows for oxygen which sustains life and then reconsider those that choose to risk everything as their own life that's also been given to them?

Don't wait until the "Reality" of your "Mortality" meets with Truth while standing in the middle of everything you think you've "Safely" assumed.

Allow yourself to be saved from your "Self" by the only one that IS able to SAVE.

Let Him be YOUR standard of everything you consider to be a Hero that's also alive and REAL!

Destructive Force of "Indecision"

I want to start today's blog with a couple of leading thoughts.

When should a question be considered foolish?

When the one asking doesn't know how to recognize the righteous response.

Otherwise they're just looking for someone to agree with their own conclusions reached.

When does one know they're pursuing all of the right desires?

When they understand where the righteous response is also found.

Ps 145:19
He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.
NIV

Prov 11:6
The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires .
NIV

Until a man can see himself as if a set of scales, only then does he have any hope of seeing what's being weighed.

On one hand man says, "Man is bound to repeat history if he doesn't learn from it".

Doesn't that sound profound or maybe more like a self fulfilling prophecy believed?

On the other hand the Lord Jesus says;

 John 6:45
It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.
NIV

Let's just see how much any of us have Truly learned from what we've been handed from the previous generation so we can assess what all we have learned "In the Light of Truth"?

Let's stop for a moment in order to examine the wisdom of man which says he's truthfully examined the phrase, Man is bound to repeat history if he doesn't learn from it.

Let's simply prop up its lifeless form long enough so that it can respond to some "Cross" examination.

At what point does "Learning" reach the apex of its value having been realized (thoroughly understood)?

If we don't know what the over shadowing objective is which then gets realized and lived out, how can we say we've learned anything that's also of any value?

What is value?

Does one generation pass to the next every conclusion made or do they leave out certain parts because those things proved to be of no value to the previous and as a result the present generation?

What are the basic requirements as if a formula for learning?

Not forgetting? Not remembering? Is it in the findings or the physical net result of our discoveries made within the close and accurate study of the Science(s)?

What is accurate? How accurate is accurate?

Do we study the net result(s) of war? Who studies them and what bias do they have? What determines who wins a war over the course of 4 or 5 generations? Who will finally decide and what is their bias towards winning or losing?

Is it that mankind can't agree on much of anything or is it that he can't stay focused long enough to reach any conclusion as to what he's looking for because of some other priority distraction that comes along?

What about the net result of natural disaster(s)? Is it only the simplicity of unexplainable and easily forecast weather or is weather ordained and driven by a controllable source? If it is by whom and what is their bias?

What is "Control"?

What about the things which can't be explained? Who's going to explain them if we can't agree on the explanations being provided?

Do we focus on the net result(s) of recycling as a by product of human consumption or do we worry about the limitations concerning supply and demand(s)?

What's man going to do when he gets bored with the happenings here on earth, go and question the limits of outer space?

How far will he get if one generation can only travel so far due to the invisible restraints each life span has?

Who establishes those boundaries and can they be defied?

The questions are seemingly endless and if questions are all that mankind can produce, what has he then answered as the net result of those questions?

The corrupt mind of man wants the Lord to remain a mystery while the Lord wants to make himself known.

If he did come to us in the form of a man, would we listen?

What motive behind the driving force of indecision would have a vested interest that could find any assumed value?

All man has to do in order to allow his eyes be taken off the prize is to continue to allow himself to create unanswerable question(s) while knowing he alone doesn't have the answers nor does he believe there is one that does.

The fascinating part is that unless man finds himself sitting at the table where conclusive theories are drafted for the corporate "Mind" of humanity, little else has any hope of finding itself thought to be True.

As man pursues such interest in all earnest, he's done nothing more than create the largest "For Profit" living organism known to man that's also ripe for the picking. So, who's doing all the picking?

This pursuit fuels and perpetuates itself through the asking of foolish questions that will never in itself produce the Truth its mandate states its also looking for.

How is it kept alive you might ask?

It keeps itself alive by way of vicariously living through the existence (corporate mind) of humanity that's in agreement with himself. Why? Because he's believed a "Huge Lie".

Where are the roots to this thing?

That depends on all that you believe I suppose, yet I "Choose" to believe its roots stem from "The Love of Money (profit/gain)". At what cost though one might ask?

Once again that depends on what you believe as well value, but I'm willing to say, "What is will cost is the only thing that will prove to be of any value at the end of a life that's been truthfully lived"!

Every good criminal "Investigator" that tracks down a thief also worth his salt will tell you when ask the question, How do I find the cause so that I can help those being affected by it?

The honest ones will tell you, "Simply follow the Money trail".

The foolish ones though will continue to ask, "How long of a trail is it and what keeps getting in the way of me doing my job?

My attempt at humor might suggest, "First you'll need to reach the conclusion, where man came from, all that he lost as the result of being lead astray from the truth in the "First" place and then you've got a shot at finding your answer"!

How much valuable time could have been saved, how many lives from early demise and how much property returned to its rightful owner if man would only believe what was handed to him as if the means to find such answers?

Just think if man had remembered and valued the net results of this one small portion of truth below, how many unsolved riddles he could have handed to the next generation as if "The Light of the Truth"?

The bibles is full of many, many formula's for success such as the one below. We just have to believe that they've been placed in our care and for our mutual benefit while we wait for the one that gave them to us to return that will also judge the result as if the reason for having provided them.

Maybe man should consider what the Judge wants unless of course he doesn't want find himself among those that will eventually be justified?

1 Tim 6:9
People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.
NIV

The distinct sound of Unity

I would like to paint a word picture today which address's a specific "Need".

A need which every soul has that's been assigned a physical body. Almost as if a void that gets filled once this need gets realized as an "Event" that now takes up residency as if a place in time.

Many can speak well of their proof of  the exact date their physical body was brought into this world. That is to the point (understanding is reached) they now have an established identity, yet how many can speak to their spiritual re-birth as one they celebrate even more?

The reality is there's only one "Way" it can be proved as one that will be eternally considered to the credit of another that is also recognized as if their true identity. 

Such an identity having been governed by the highest of authority which can then respond to any question that comes along with regards to cross examination, "Who are you and why do you do what you do"?

Thomas Jefferson suggested in the Declaration of independence that "All men are created equal".

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Not all patrons are as willing to be equally endowed by such a freedom due to their rejection of such principles which do in fact extend and reinforce the thought(s) of freedom.

Such a freedom that originated by way of deliverance from unwanted evil(s) which inhibit this freedom from being realized by all mankind.

Freedom that's also "True" levels the playing field(s) of mutual opportunity which supply's the venue for making one and the same discovery of a sovereign creator.

A nation must know and understand the roots of evil otherwise she will be overcome by it.

Prov 20:10-11
Differing weights and differing measures — the LORD detests them both. Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right.
NIV

2 Tim 2:19
Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."
NIV

This event I speak of is one where you're born "Again" having received the "New" spirit which can only be received from the Holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus the "Christ".

The above revelation comes when you decide that you can't accomplish same without the continual (wisdom) counsel of the Lord also being the dominate voice you've listened to (responded to).

The "Need" for this newly celebrated awareness is one that all men have within their being despite what the world around us tries to explain away.

More specifically with respect to a hope which then looks forward to the net result of your existence as one that's been proved to be one that is also True (real).

John 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you , the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
NIV

An existence which truthfully translates into the eternal realm as if a personal understanding with respect to the "why, where and how" the soul presently finds itself while in this world.

In terms of all that a lie attempts to explain away as reality, without the "Truth" a man will believe everything else that's NOT true having been left to his own logic while "trying" to interpret said explanation(s) being provided.

Eccl 3:9-11
What does the worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
NIV

Has everything God has made as beautiful in its time become so attractive that you've taken your eyes off of the real beauty of it all?

What beauty is that? Is it not the beauty as the purpose for having created ALL things?

Why wouldn't that over shadowing question also include you as part of the ALL that He's created?

If you don't know what also makes you beautiful in the eyes of your creator, can you then have and hold an appreciation for beauty that is also True?

Even further to mean, "He created You, but who then shaped and formed your opinion of the creator of ALL things?

Without the active influence of his spirit from one moment to the next, what other than His spirit has influenced your opinion of your creator?

That is to suggest that if Jesus as the one that was sent so you might come to Know the person of your creator is not the composer of the music you dance to, "Who is"?

There are many addictions in this world, most of which we've all agreed in common are bad for us yet are there any other addictions we've not truthfully considered.

What about the addiction of, "Only believing what we want to believe even if its wrong"? This is where the light of truth Hopes to shine the brightest.

Every opinion still requires a judge especially in light of a consideration for being somethings that's found to be "Good".

John 5:31-36
"If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid. There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is valid.

"You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved. John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.

"I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the very work that the Father has given me to finish, and which I am doing, testifies that the Father has sent me.
NIV

I'll approach the remainder of this thought as if speaking of a Composer that also hopes to choreograph and deliver harmonious instrumental sounds.

Without the exact musical "Notes" being produced and then set in a specific order should a composer have any hope of producing the beautiful sound of "Music"?

There's a saying which makes its rounds in the world of the "Arts" which says, "Know your audience". How true might that prove to be in the mind of a composer?

If you were a composer, "Do you know the audience you acknowledge and then perform for"?

Especially if that composer knows his listening audience has an even greater appreciation for the one that's mastered the art of being able to capture many different musical notes from as many different instruments and making them practically "Dance on the air".

Within the music world there seems to be a specific appreciation for the precision of each note that gets played.

The music composer however, in most instances is not capable of simaltaniously producing all of the required musical notes while at the same time queuing each as to when to "Chime in.

The essence of the composer's task is to "presides" over the delivery of a written piece of music. Sure he may have also wrote it, but it still requires the prompting of each musical notes timely delivery.

It's a certain harmonious and resonating sound that must follow the distinct recognition of its hearer(s) throughout its production, otherwise the whole instrumental piece gets remembered for one of its parts being "Off Key".

How different is the distinction being made when listening for the sound of a specific voice in a crowd?

Most know that it's possible because they also know that a desperately searching mother possesses what some might consider to be a super natural ability to recognise the sound of her child's voice in a crowded venue.

That is "If" she's also tuned her ears for nothing but that sound.

Even in the animal kingdom mothers and sometimes fathers have an intuitive ability (pick out) to discern the presence of their offspring in a crowded scenario.

I've reached the conclusion while considering both kingdoms that how they each discern their own is due to their familiar sense (or scent) of themselves which the child also has.

It's as if to say, that very scent (sense) then testifies to their awareness, "This one is mine".

To whom do you belong?

To the sound of "One Voice" or "To the sound of many voices" that want you to join them"?

Do those voices dictate and or influence what you do while in this life or is it that you remain the only one that judges what gets heard as well believed?

Is a man not as good as "Blind" if he doesn't know about the end result or net result of a "Matter" or is he simply choosing to remain "Ignorant" having decided for "Himself" that the end result doesn't "Matter"?

Restoring the sight of the blind suggest they could see at one time, while giving sight to the blind suggest they never could see.

Either way, "If one day you did find yourself standing in the light truth and were then asked "Did you choose to be ignorant or were you simply not told?

I guess in order to make you comfortable within all your choices you alone are making, all you'd have to do is sell yourself on the idea that only the sound of your voice matters?

2 Tim 1:1
....according to the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,
NIV

So, who are you listening to today? Have you elected and established yourself as King, judge and jury over your life that only matters to YOU?

Will you voluntarily step down in this season of mercy or will you eventually find yourself forcibly dethroned when the King of Truth does return in majestic form?

I encourage you to not only think of yourself as if you are in Christ, but let Christ be found in You!

2 Cor 2:14-16
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task?
NIV

2 Tim 2:10-13
Therefore I endure everything  for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

Here is a trustworthy saying:

If we died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him. 
If we disown him, he will also disown us; if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself. 
NIV

A Good Hunter

There's more to the significance of ones footprint's in this life with respect to the impression that's made.

Could such an impression prove to be the significance as the net result of the one whom you then find?


A "Good" hunter worth his weight in salt is said to be able to study a footprint in order to determine the approximate height, weight and direction of travel of it's owner.

As if an original thought, what caused the first true hunters in antiquity to be considered "Good" hunters?

That is to ask, "If the caliber of the Hunter were being defined what would be the thoughts of those that were judging that hunter?

Would it be that he's simply a "Good" provider of food?

Or will it be the thoughts of others about him in that he's consistently proved himself able to "Provide" in order to feed the hunger of their stomachs which also depend upon the simplicity of all that he is and has become while a participant of their life"

Now add the ability of being a "Good" hunter to that suggestion?

Gen 25:27
The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the open country, while Jacob was a quiet man, staying among the tents.
NIV

Gen 25:32
"Look, I am about to die," Esau said. "What good is the birthright to me?"
NIV

Mal 1:1-3
1:1 An oracle: The word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi.

"I have loved you," says the LORD.

"But you ask, 'How have you loved us?'

"Was not Esau Jacob's brother?" the LORD says. "Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated , and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals."
NIV

Phil 3:17-19

Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach , and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.
NIV

Many have made the impression through the exchange of words, "What you're saying has no substance"!

Is that statement suggesting what's been said has no "Effect" or the one listening finds no "Value" in the context of what's being said?

Just food for thought.

Some personalities are more concerned with the impression and influence of their own legacy left behind than they are the true reasoning that hides behind the "Why" they hope to influence others to be more like themselves.

As if the specific something of great importance which is then found and perpetuated by those that follow their personalities.

Is it truly a legacy which gets left behind as a person's wake or the more likelihood of a tendency which one hopes that others will look to emulate in the hope of what they assume it will eventually accomplish?

I'm confident most have heard the term, "Living vicariously through another person".

1 John 4:16-17
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him 
NIV

In terms of being the "Twin" of someone else is the suggestion that each (both) came from the same womb. Further defining of their likeness's though comes by way of addressing both as "Identical" twins.

In terms of God and as many people as God has made, how could there be any hope that is also true of being considered "Like Him" while in the midst of a mindset where it's being told even more convincingly so that we're all unique and as a result different through and through?

I agree there's more than one way to skin or catch a fish, but their meat eventually ends up in the mutual functionality of our stomachs does it not?

Where did wisdom run off to with respect to its declaration, "Divide and conquer"?

This was said (recorded) as part of the early life of the Apostle Paul (Saul) before he was born again:

Acts 8:3
But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.
NIV

I think Paul at that time in his life also thought that he was unique in God's eye's too.

Being considered "Unique" might define the shape of our bodies, the color of our eye's or the specific appetite for a certain flavor of food, but what about the things which would express that we each have come from one and the same womb as if from God?

Some have convinced themselves that we're ALL simply the fragmented and or unique expressions of one and the same person of God that also MUST be accepted, yet if that were true then why the need for a Day of Judgment where Gods wrath will come to destroy specific things He mentions?

John 3:3
In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again"
NIV

John 3:6-7

Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again .

NIV

Let's examine the term "Unique" for a moment. It's inference suggest the existence of something which also stands alone or apart from others.

If we each have our own spirit as if one uniquely assigned, how could one then maintain the thoughts which work towards the common thoughts and desires of one and the same spirit that is from the "Womb" of God?

How could so many spirits which also hold onto their understanding as if they're going to be judged differently with respect to their individual and or unique patterns which look nothing like a spirit in "Common"?

If the understanding of the effects of the thought of someone being "Unique" were cultured what might the findings be?

Does flesh look, feel to the touch and respond like flesh or does it look and feel like flesh, yet respond like the identical spirit which compels us to act within?

Much like a specimen taken in a lab that's then placed in a specific environment in order to see whether or not it will grow, what might one find as the resulting affect(s) of their own said spirit?


There's much that needs to be more thoroughly addressed by the spirit of God than does the naked mind of mere men who maintain any hope of being perfectly united in Love.


You say that you have loved and know all that love is, yet who's defined all that you've thought Love to be?

A season of mercy is the opportunity to accept what has been freely given while the offer is still on the table for your consideration.

Now is the time to make the truthful discovery and not wait until after you've lived a life the way you've assumed and chosen to understand "All" things which pertain to the divine order of a much greater reality soon to be revealed.

If it's a forced or leveraged response, "It's not one as an act of the faith having believed!

Rom 8:9-11
You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
NIV

Don't despise that which is "Rightfully" yours but accept the birth right that has been freely given to all that will only believe to then experience having been born again and plant their faith in (as if in righteous soil) all that Christ Jesus the Lord is and has done.
