How great of an opening does the thief need who seemingly only steals smaller portions over the course of time. sw
How easy is to explain why so many have lost their way when the essence of the overshadowing objective never gets tabled. sw
Mere knowledge of a matter doesn't produce the power that's required. sw
How can Christ be glorified if it's not His power that also brings glory. sw
"John 7:37-39
"If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. NIV
Is there a higher objective of God that pertains to Christ being glorified than humanity is willing to participate in?
And what does Christ being Glorified here in the earth look like without the participation of the spirit of Christ within?
In terms of having an common enemy and the restraint of that same enemy, what might that said "Restraint" look like? Now ask the same of an enemy that can't be seen with human eyes, yet one that can only be defined by its own "Actions" in the sight of God?
Is the appearance of the enemy being defined by way of its physical appearance or is this enemy defined by what it does or doesn't do?
In terms of a God that's also held as common to man, why is it such an important consideration where people find themselves as "Beings" that are accepted for not only who they are but even greater who they do NOT also help define?
Does the formation that's also representative of "Who a person is" get shaped and molded by any influence outside of themselves?
Is there any danger involved where people perceive themselves to be "Whatever" instead of whom God says His own will look like? And the latter as the direct result of the influence of God?
What His (Gods) own will look like on the other side of a "New Beginning" where Christ has come in and takes up permanent residency?
Why isn't there more of an importance placed upon, "Whom God sees a person to be" rather than who the surrounding world and/or supposed fellow Christians see them as?
How does fire that is perceived to have come down from heaven glorify men? How does water that is already here on earth once transformed/converted into "Flood Waters" that swallow up human life only then seem to highlight the enemies of God?
Is it only the influence of dominating thoughts of judgment, pain and punishment that helps shape the individual soul(s) and performance of men?
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
Did the Apostle Paul truly understand the weight of the revelation He was given? As if a weight that was uncommon to many of his time? Whose blood was Israel stained with? The same blood spread over the door post that would prevent the angel of death from entering their homes?
This same Israel who was in the midst of a different people who were non responsive to God? Did they all die or only those whom God prophesied would die?
Surely the blood of a lamb was put over the door post, yet a lamb who first had to be slain in order to obtain this same "Blood" of protection?
The blood and sign (emblem) of guilt held in common that would later be washed away? Blood openly placed on display as if the acknowledgment of their guilt where others were "Unwilling" to share in the coming glory of such a confession?
Think what type of chaos would eventually evolve in any industry if there were no standards involved. No codes, ethic's or moral's? You don't have to look very long or hard these days, yet what does that otherwise suggest?
Take for example something like the building of a home? What if the building industry had no "Building Codes" or no industry standards for all the different amenities that go into a home?
Break it down to even a smaller scale if need be. Lets say that doorways in most homes had no Standard dimensions? How would that affect not only production but uniformity within that same "Process"?
It's easy to play the God card and say, That's talking about house building and the limitations of humanity as compared to God with whom ALL things are possible?
Are we only trying to define the results of non conformity within the door knob and hinge industry or are we borrowing from what we also know about a specific type of humanity where non conformity rules?
Just think how much of a nightmare would result not so much for the initial installation, but even more for the one who has to come in behind the initial install and do repairs as things aged?
Now, apply that same logic to the many different types of Gospels that are being preached (taught), accepted as if True and the lasting affects of same even 2 or 3 generations down the road?
And why does blame always seem to stem from what took place in the past? Blame which fuels present reasoning which demotes what others have done which by default then provides the excuse for the WAY everything is presently BEING done?
Is knowledge alone enough to prevent history from repeating itself? Why would Jesus ask, "Will I find faith when I return"? Instead why did Jesus NOT ask "Will I find knowledge about Me when I return"?
Has two thousand years changed the landscape of the type of "Faith" Jesus was asking about or has man since saw fitting to plow under all the tree's and living things that help define all that Faith is and does?
John 5:39-40
You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me , yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
NIV
If full application of the Gospel that does concern "The Son of God" were only about Christ coming, Him being put to death and His rising from the dead, does that ever TRUTHFULLY supply the needed response(s) or explain the power of God needed that will cause some to rise unto life Eternal?
Needed to mean at any given moment as to why only some are willing to PUT on display and do wear the garments soiled with the blood of Christ? The reason being as they do go about as they participate in the net results having done so?
Really? Id like to examine that type of rationale in this blog piece.
Why doesn't the Love of God participate more than it does in the formation of humanities "Outlook" on the surrounding world and everything contained in it? The "Outlook" that has everything to do with what took place on the inside that can't bee seen at a mere glance?
Josh 8:33-35
Half of the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had formerly commanded when he gave instructions to bless the people of Israel.
Afterward, Joshua read all the words of the law — the blessings and the curses — just as it is written in the Book of the Law. There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded that Joshua did not read to the whole assembly of Israel, including the women and children, and the aliens who lived among them.
NIV
And to think so few know much of anything (verbatim) that is also "Contained" in the collective words of God?
Many can quote News Paper and TV headlines or Saturdays football game statistic's on demand yet for some "Unknown" (yet to be revealed) reasoning they couldn't tell you if their own life depended on it what else gets said of God besides a short one short sentence found in John 3:16?
Why are so many bent on insisting they are of the cult of the "Accepted" of God? That word "Cult" also being recognized as being the root word for "Cultured" and/or "Cultivated"?
The irony of the name "Culture" also being given to the test more often seen in a doctors office which proves a specific "Strain" (genus) of an "Infection". Exactly how does any cultured people(s) prove its "strain" or "genus"?
The culture is a semi controlled environment that is otherwise conducive for the growth of a certain micro organism.
In the earth what would such a "Divine spiritual Culture" look like that is also conducive for the children of God to not only grow in but also be "Proved" in?
James 3:9
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. NIV
Exactly how much does any person have to say that ALSO participates in what God is DOING in this world?
People are quick to suggest in keeping the "Main Thing the Main thing" yet what does that mean? Especially to those who have yet to have been informed as would have Moses or Joshua?
Informed of what though?
Why is it so hard for the thoughts that lend themselves to the formation of Christ In a person to take root (be conceived) today?
Could it have anything to do with the labors of Hollywood, Aliens and/or lies that have breached the realm in which we now live?
Could it maybe have to do with the tidal wave of twisted notions that speak only to and only about demonic possession(s)? And that while "Ignoring" the otherwise fruitful notion which suggest, "Christ In You"?
Being asked to BELIEVE in the words "Christ in You' sounds much like a possession to me?
Exactly what is the divine diet the spirit of Christ hungers for as would a "Fetus" in the womb?
John 4:34
"My food ," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. NIV
Phil 1:29-30
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him, since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
NIV
John 5:39-40
You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
NIV
Now wait a minute! Why then is it that so many who try to teach while they themselves progressively learn as if to themselves how preach to others? They go on to labor so hard in order to emphasize "The work of God is Done" and has been since the sixth day of creation? To then also preach that God and Christ are One and the same?
Even in this world what happens when small children receive "Mixed Messages"? Not to mention confusing "Signals (signs) along the "Way" that continue on the journey with them? And many of those never to be corrected by the ones who were in error or others who suggest they also Love them as does God?
Why are children being taught to place what Mom or Dad have to say above what God says? Does God somehow Love less that Mom and Dad or any group of people who've chosen to agree with each other?
Exactly who is the driving dynamo that's also ultimately defining all that Love is in this world? Exactly who is it that's standing WITH God and the same Love that also defines this same God that is Love?

Why does Jesus suggest He's has need of finishing the work of the one which also sent Him into this world?
Why so many different opinions of God? Opinions that have and are being based only upon what a certain strain of humanity are teaching ABOUT God?
Food for thought MAYBE, yet what type of food does Jesus defend?
