Sight

We all Love the "What If" considerations as well resting on the "Asset" of our inner most HOPE"S, yet what has any HOPE that's also real truly been based upon?

Is it truly praise unto God to merely suggest in song we're "Standing" on His Promises? Only then to rarely take inventory of all that takes up residency in what many consider to be "Real Time"?

 In that we more often only repent after the "Act" once we've been caught (discovered) in our 'Craftiness"?

And who is the type of man who prays meaningful and unceasing prayers with Confidence? Confidence maybe, yet confidence that been based on WHAT and WHO?

And what happens if a man forgets HOW to fish who was taught how in order that he won't go hungry?

Why not when in the midst of the TYPE of thought's (pattern) that more often require being repeatedly entertained (fertilized/conceived) before being "Birthed" into this world as an "Act'?

Rather than crying spiritual "Rape" after the fact as if to suggest, "The devil made me do it"?

At what point has the denial of being only part of the Problem somehow helped the 'Whole" consideration of  Our imperfect humanity we all 'Claim" as the reason why the world has become such a painful and at times cruel place to live?

And what is the heart of anything that matters if God was NOT a party to any decision 'Made" that has lead to present conditions?

Instead of teaching children what Goes Bump in the night in hope of somehow making them afraid of what's in the Darkness, why Not teach them HOW to SEE as if for themselves who's NOT seen in darkness and why?

We teach children how to read, how to write and hopefully talk, yet what about teaching them to be "Seers'?

We can teach them about LAWS yet if the ones teaching them are also LAW BREAKERS what have we taught them "Outside" our own (private) prayer "Closet"?

Is allowing a child into our prayer closet with us as parents a sign of weakness? Allowing them to hear us plead our case before the One Who KNOWS?

Was there a real REASON why Jacob realized the importance of not only what does come from the mouth of His Father, but WHO it is that's HEARING those same prayers of Blessing having also "Believed"?

And if they were to understand at an early stage of spiritual maturation why LAW brings sin to LIFE how in this world could anyone exhaust the LIFE SIZED examples of same?

Why in the Church that is of Christ, haven't the said Stewards clearly understood that ANY gift that is from God will NOT come with Harm? And that to include "Children" that have also UNDERSTOOD they too are NOT somehow exempt from the type of discipline God doles out upon those he also Loves?

Isn't there enough suffering in the type of suffering the Love of God brings without the ADDITIONAL type of pain this world dishes out?

The type of suffering in this world whose cooperative members also seem to have no REAL explanation as to WHY?

Which is easier to explain, why Jesus who was perfect suffered or why there seems to be no believable explanation as to why EVERYONE in this world has NEED of God's mercy?

Why do those who suggest the consideration of being perfect is beyond reach? Why is perfect seen as weakness to so many and WHY does the Grace needed in so many circumstances seems so far OUT OF TOUCH with reality?

If this message was ONLY intended for Paul and the other Apostles as some believe, what does that suggest about what has been received from Paul...or NOT?

And who has considered ANYTHING about their person to be GOOD without the Love of The Father?

And how could the payers of Jesus be recorded and transcribed unless his followers also HEARD his prayers? Prayers of a Father or the overly simplified prayers of a man pleading his CASE for NOT only his person but those God had given Him?

John 17:20-26
20 "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message , that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 

I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 
24 "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 

"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 

I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."  
NIV

And much like the UPS delivery man, the word Apostle was and remains intended to translate "Post Man" (deliverer).

Whenever something is said to have been delivered and the intended recipient also claims what was delivered then who is in "Possession" of what was delivered?

And what is the essence of "DENIAL" if what was delivered was never "Opened"?

To include having denied the Gospel of Christ, Repentance in keeping with ALL that is TRUE within His kingdom?

The same Kingdom spoken of Christ to be within those who have "Believed"?

Exactly how weak did Christ have to become in the light of the TRUTH that should thoroughly explain what? That He too was and still is the LORD of heaven and EARTH?

2 Cor 12:9
9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
NIV

Matt 5:48
Be perfect , therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. NIV

2 Cor 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation ; the old has gone, the new has come!
NIV

The type of explanation that might also explain the real reason for the NEED of being the ADOPTED children of God?

At what point does a true Born AGAIN BELIEVER whose also found their Identity In Christ find the courage to tell their children they too TRULY belong to God?

What does take place when there is NO trace of the heart of an Evangelist, the understanding of a Pastor or Teacher or the insight of a Prophet of God in ANY House?

Was there a true reason why Joseph and Mary soon learned where they could find the SON of God whenever they lost track of His person?

Heb 12:
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?

If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.

Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it.

How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live!

Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best ; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Rom 14:17-18
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men. 
NIV

Heb 12
Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13 "Make level paths for your feet," so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.

Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. He could bring about no change of mind, though he sought the blessing with tears.
NIV

Did Issac understand or always remember exactly who it was he was raising or did He understand the blessing even more as well what follows that same state of being "Blessed of God"?

Did Josephs parents or his brothers understand or remember everything at all times who they were raising or in the midst of in the lineage of mankind in The sight of God?

Was Jacob a scoundrel all his life? Exactly how old was Moses when he knew he was not only called of the Lord, but how killing a man could possibly have somehow delayed the arrival of his inner most confidence in God? Despite what You and I know today about a baby set adrift in a river who later find his personage at age 80 leading thousands of Gods chosen people out of Egypt from Bondage?

1 Cor 10:11-13
These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.

So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. NIV

And if The Christ is the ONLY way OUT and the ONLY way In, what should ALL men then conclude?

1 John 4:18
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.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
NIV

Is it any real wonder WHY men find it as though GODLY WISDOM when a person suggest aloud they can count their TRUE FRIENDS on as few as "Five Fingers"?

And if the raising of children is NOT being seen as if the RAISING UP of a hopefully well Informed friend, who then has truly been their BROTHERS KEEPER and to what end? To then ask, 'Does God have more than 5 or 10 fingers should HE whose image mankind was made also try to count His friends?

Many seem to know beyond doubt what the Elders should being doing, yet whose not taking into account the examples they too have followed or NOT when we appoint them as our headship" in this world?

Israel also wanted a king and didn't God also give them what THEY wanted to show them WHO they were MISSING?

1 Peter 5:3-4
....not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
NIV

Years ago I was asked what I thought the right age is for having children? At the time of that question it seemed right to wisely suggest the same age I was at that time. What I've since learned is the one who asked the question was NOT inquiring because of what I knew to be true.

My answer today would be when is the right time to think about the qualification's and spiritual aspirations of an Elder, Deacon, Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist Pastor or Teacher in the BODY of Christ!

I now can SEE the wisdom in THE Bride who also belongs to Christ which does NOT somehow negate what Paul had to say about lust and staying devoted unto our first Love that also agree's with what a Good Bride will also look like.

Prov 18:22
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.
NIV

Prov 31:10-12
 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.

Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
NIV

Along those same fault lines I was also told as a child why I shouldn't do drugs, have sex outside of marriage, smoke cigarettes, drink Beer etc..etc

Many accept and that because of they've been Taught that "Perfection" is something that can never be attained, BUT is that True?

Many also suggest there is no manual for raising children, yet would it be more true to suggest there are few who can interpret such a manual?

Whether the father 5, 10, 100's or appointed as Judge of nations, what is required of God in terms of WHO shows up in TIME?

1 Sam 3:21
The LORD continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word. 
NIV


Men also know how to talk (preach) more about what is IMPERFECT, yet who is preaching about what makes anyone RIGHT all the time?

And what is confidence as though being SEEN in the presence of God forever?

I remember the first time I cheated on a test in school. What I quickly learned is that my buddies John and Susan who were also failing this class OBVIOUSLY didn't have what I NEEDED.

I Know, I Know this might sound creepy sneaky yet it's true because "What" I did was what most people don't don't PLAN on doing.

The teacher had called me in to show me my Grade in the class as they opened the said "Grade Book". Keep in mind most people's eyes go directly to the name and column of grades, but that is not the mind of a cheater.

What I already knew inside was that I was failing miserably in that class and for many different reason's I won't go into here.

In case you don't what's fuels the "Heart"of a cheater I'll share what the heart of this "Old" cheater did.

Because of what I already knew what I had planned to do once I got a glimpse of that class grade book was to quickly scan it for the ONE who had the highest grade average.

I wasn't going to waste this opportunity because I knew what a 40, 50 and at best a 60% at the top of a graded paper already looked like and because of how "Often" I'd SEEN it.

I think most can figure out from here who I chose to befriend the rest of the year. Did I go out carousing with this person after school or smoke with them in the Boys room?

No, but I did however understand our humanity well enough to also get what "I Needed from it"!

What I've gleaned from this world now that I do Know more about WHY it's already as good as dead is this.

When you do find out what someone's weaknesses are you'll also find that You have to spend some time with that person. Why because that's what "Cheaters Do Best"....Just saying

Don't be scared to face your enemies, Always remember even a person's eyes can provide the type of reflection you need to see who might be "Trying" to sneak up on You!

Maybe there is a true reason why the eyes of the said "Soul" of men are the gateway of our humanity as well what the apple looks like in the eyes of God we HOPE to see Face to Face One day?

Is there truly such a thing as a word to the "Wise'? Or are the wise those who know where True wisdom comes from?

Does a man NEED to see His children every day in order to be reminded of how as a mere man he's failed them, or does a MAN of God find it a need so he knows what he should unceasingly "Pray about"?

How much does perspective have to do with what does Come not only from the Mouth of God, but also those who only "heard" all about his person?

What is any prophecy about if Not what the future holds? What can any tongue speak of in any type of language that is of Any true value that also pertains that same future? And what value is a heavenly language if only to be 'Understood" in another day?

And what is perfection if Not the Blessing that is from God whether realized while here or something to Be realized as the result of a change of physical address?

1 Cor 13:8-13
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face .

Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
NIV

John 8:32
2 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." NIV

Guilty or Gilded

What is any attempt at anything "All" about? I feel confident most have heard of skating on thin ice, yet how many have truly considered how much "Ugly" can be hidden with a thin coat of paint or even "Gold"!

Are rules or laws somehow exempt from this same practice when their core value has been covered as though with a thin layer of Gold? The same being brought to market to be sold as if "Pure"?

Have you ever asked the simple question, "Why did Men Crucify Jesus"? What type of a more accurate representation is there other than an "Angel" who parades (masquerades) around as an Angel of Light?

Obviously Christ was seen by some as if opposed to something by way of what He said, right? Otherwise there would not have been a sense of  a needed"Defense' where some would TRY and defend against  what Jesus had to say? Yet who's NOT asking what Jesus is able to see when He does look upon the outward presentation of our humanity as if through its transparency?

I'm of the opinion "Mere Men" in and of themselves are incapable of being TOTALLY transparent. How can I suggest such a thing? Because many don't "Know" what it is they're "LOOKING" for because many also refuse to ACCEPT what is TRUE! And if they did somehow see what is TRUE, without accepting it for ALL that TRUTH IS what chance is there this same truth can prove it's WORTH? What is True having been "Obscured" or somehow kept hidden behind a unique sense of a "Blind"?

In terms of a spiritual death or second death, is it possible some in and of this world will somehow be "Talked To Death"? Talked to DEATH also to suggest having been SOLD a BUNDLE of "Lies" that eventually are PROVED to have been Believed over a life span?

 Mere men to suggest those who are NOT yielded and compelled 100% of the time by the Holy Spirit to speak and act in a particular fashion. Hence the often misfortune and truest sense of "Imperfection"!

By comparison how might the thoughts of pure Gold stand up against the thoughts of a "Pure" heart that's been covered with thin a layer of skin?

Have you ever seen how the Skin of some people reacts (outward sign) to wearing gold jewelry that's any less than 24 or maybe 18 karat? How different would you suppose our hearts are viewed when God examines the condition of a man (heart)? The same God who also looks at this same mans individual struggles? Struggle with what though? How to make it alright, partially right, or surely ALL right as he alone tries to reconcile the difference(s)?

I think on such things this way, "If a man already knew what to do Why then has he NOT already done those same things? The spirit and type of thought which brings to mind, "Teach a man HOW to fish and he'll never go hungry"! Especially so if the Man is truly HUNGRY!

In terms of a counterfeit, how busy has the economy of this world been attempting to replace "How and Why the sons of God were created to respond to God when He speaks"?

Especially when considering there is ANY part of man that was also made in the "Likeness of God"? As such without also finding that Gods given and True Identity has to somehow be manipulated and as a result put to sleep (deceived)?

Is it all only a matter of Can a spirit or soul be Crushed Or will judgement prove to be finding out not only WHO crushed ANY God given spirit, but WHY? Exactly what takes place whenever someone wants to make the truthful inquiry which then "Speaks" as to whether of NOT the pain of another can be "Experienced" the same "Way"?

Exactly what happens when the spirit that does live ONLY lives by way of Knowing (Believing) that it is ONLY God who gives life to the spirit? This same life force which temporarily sustains our mortal Body?

This same spirit which also requires a body to manifest (be realized) that's suited for the type environment in which that spirit since realizes its very existence? Not only needed, but also the type of manifested reality that comes to LIFE for a "Purpose"? Whose purpose though?

In the light of ALL that Truth IS, what has TRULY been requisitioned whenever a struggling son of God in this world hears someone who throws out lifeless and daring words such as, "Say it isn't SO'? Depends of the venue right? As if the difference between words spoken by children on the Play Ground verses the RELIABLE words of an ADULT heard under sworn testimony in a court room?

As children we've hopefully all experienced PLAYING the role of a Doctor, Fireman, Police, yet how many children do you see PLAYING (acting out of ) the ROLE of a Minister, Elder or Bishop as a child?

And the TRUE reason being what in terms of those Highly Esteemed positions to be held or sought out by children as they Mature having been reared as though the "Children of God? To then truly REconsider WHY Gods people DO suffer from LACK of vision (Knowledge)?

Exactly WHY does the WHOLE suffer if ANY part is suffering? Many like to claim the spirit of God is SAFELY HIDDEN in their hearts, yet is this wise counsel unto SELF? It is if self is ALL wise and if Self is ONLY ....One man!

Ps 40:10
I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation.
I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly. NIV

Exactly how is the spirit crushed should a child see themselves as though Non-redeemable or maybe of lessor value than those who are of Higher Standing in the assembly? Those filled with a lessor hope of somehow being reconciled in light of ALL they done wrong OTHER WISE?

Especially so when there is only ONE who is a ALL WISE and ALL knowing of the Misdeeds of men who are CLAIMING to be the ONLY hold out in the HOPE of being MADE Holy?

Have you ever sat and deeply considered WHY it is IMPOSSIBLE for God to Lie? Impossible to Lie having Created ALL things that somehow speak on behalf of the PERCEPTION of that SAME overshadowing TRUTH?

Would you suppose God has need of taking a skin graft or performing an EKG? Maybe the need of microscope in order to interpret discolored skin that's come into CONTACT with gold that's NOT "Pure"? To then try and truthfully reflect on the TRUE meaning of Touch NOTHING UNCLEAN when that same God says to LAY hands on the sick and anoint them with the "Oil of Gladness"?

At  even a quick glance exactly what does the interaction of ones heart look like when suited with the flesh? Can true inner peace be discerned or can it's outward appearance be Faked or Mimicked?

Exactly what was the SON of God opposed to? Does it also have need of being asked what did He (Jesus) defend against if Not the works of the devil? Those same works He said He came in order to destroy?

Was Jesus opposed to the misuse of "Power'? What type of Power and where does the type of Power God might be opposed to also find it s"Origin"? The type of power that attempts to 'Set' itself up "Against" what? Especially if GOD can NOT presently BE seen or heard for all that He is?

Are there any symbolic example's where something in the physical realm was somehow positioned as if against the appointed physical representation of God in the earth?

1 Sam 5:1-5
After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. Then they carried the ark into Dagon's temple and set it beside Dagon .

When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon , fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon , fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD!

His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. 5 That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagon's temple at Ashdod step on the threshold.
NIV

Today in the physical absence of the person of Christ (God) in the earth, what remains? His words? And exactly where are those words of God today being safely kept and defended? In a leather or vinyl binder on a shelf somewhere? Why are are the words of god NOT being seen as if safely kept in Jars of Clay?

Exactly what will be found to BE within ANY Clay Jar once these Jars have been broken and shattered? Will some be found to be empty? Will some prove to only have been "Labeled", yet once broken open they are discovered to be are without "Contents"?

Surely the Ark of God also had contents, namely the words of God appropriate for the times engraved on Tablets of Stone? Yet who today has a Stoney heart?

There was also the budding and fruit bearing Staff of Arron as well in this sacred Ark which represented the presence of God, right? Yet who today leans on their own "Understanding" as if their "Staff"?

What else was inside the Ark that represented the presence of God? A Jar that had what inside it? Manna? Bread that came down from Heaven? Exactly what do these sacred symbols "REPRESENT" in this world and for whose benefit?

Anytime there is a New and conquering King has been seated, what is the first order of  business to be conducted if not a New Edict issued that somehow changes the Standard? And how does this New command somehow differ from the Previous one?

The old standard that somehow measured Love by way of what and WHO? As you have loved YOUR SELF?

John 13:34-35
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." 
NIV

Obviously many prior to the coming of Christ as KING had also learned well how to Love themselves, yet the question remains on the eternal Table, who was Jesus also opposed to and what was it that caused men to "Fear" God and NOT seek His personage for ALL that God is (LOVE)?

And if God says "God is Love" who then has prevented mankind from walking in that same type of Love? The type that is also the exact representation that has come down from heaven?

We know that GOD is always "Right", and "if" the likeness of "Stephen" in the throws of a God inspired Moment and what He testified to to was also right, exactly how well did 'Stephen" articulate the "Offense" that would cause some to not only be accused of being the "Enemies of God", but also feel the HEAT of such an "Accusation"?

Stop and think what a Husband and wife sound like whenever they're "Fighting"? What ONE thing can a wife say to her husband that will Ignite a fire within a Man where there is also a well KNOWN history of a man and his Father?

"You stubborn ........You're Just Like your Father"!

Acts 7:51-53
"You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit! Was there ever a prophet your fathers did not persecute?

They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him— you who have received the law that was put into effect through angels but have not obeyed it."  NIV

Exactly WHO will it prove to BE who does want to be called OUT as though the enemy of God? Nobody in their RIGHT mind would want that right? Yet what's the only APPARENT response to such allegations other than somehow 'Demonizing" those who might otherwise OPPOSE the type of powerful fruit the democratic practices Yields?

And if the Snake in the Garden had been rightfully DEMONIZED, what might that have lead to?

Exactly how many momentary votes (lots) were cast in the Garden while trying to decide whether or NOT to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil?

And If the fear of the Lord is ONLY the beginning of ALL that God is, who and why have many refused to even CROSS the threshold of the House of God? According to Gods word who then will be found guilty because of those who've MISREPRESENTED all that God is?

And the difference between an Unbeliever In Christ and an Angel who parades around as though an Angel of the Light is exactly what? Those who rebelled and those who LEAD some to the "Rebellion"?

Exactly what type of man has suggested to be the GOOD "Shepherd of God", who take the GREAT JOY that belongs to the Lord by way of yielding the type of SWORD that ONLY explains why a man should fear the LORD?

What is Power without the opportunity to show Mercy? And what is Mercy without the type Power and Authority that will cause men to understand exactly who, WHY and what IT was within mankind that had NEED of being DEFEATED?

Prior to the manifested presence of God in the earth, what Type of personage had taken a strangle hold on how mankind viewed God?

Not only because of what this "Specific" type of man was suggesting TRUE about God, but more precisely because of what this type of POWER that is VOID of ALL that God is would then "Yield"?

And what is whole of anything as if the "All"? Especially if "Part" has been observed as if the "WHOLE"?

That said as if because of what had somehow been made UNCERTAIN about God in the sight of mankind?

Is there a reason why two opposing views could BOTH be wrong with respect to the riches of this world?

And what has the search for the One who's RIGHT ALL the time proved within any life? And what has any type of appetite been based upon? Sustaining life or ignoring what GLUTTONY also symbolizes in terms of MASTERY over the personage?

If leading by example has no REAL merit in any land, what will any type PEOPLE then become. sw.

If the leading giver in the House of God is NOT "Seen" as the One who's representing what God defines as One who has Believed God, how does that same image then reflect and manifest in the house of God as if a father who has need of being "Heard'. sw

When someone is only to be considered a friend until the point of their own "Hurt" who then has stood any testing of their faith that can and will register as being REAL. sw

James 2:23-24
3 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.

You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith aloneNIV

Who defends the image of God by way of defending what God is NOT seen doing. sw

Phil 2:20-24
I have no one else like him, who takes a genuine interest in your welfare.

For everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.

I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.

And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon. NIV

Without the clear understanding of the initial (origin of) "Intent" exactly how clear can any best laid plans "Prove" to be?

What is any "True" attempt "Made" without also knowing beyond doubt whose power is required in order to fulfill those SAME desires?

To then consider what the WILL of God WILL appear as in the lives of those who suggest they've believed the words of God and as such that doesn't remain ONE big mystery?

And once a person decides to accept the WILL of God has been MADE known, who then can HONESTLY continue to to suggest to self WHY they DON'T ....Know what the will of God is for their OWN life?

Eph 1:9-10
And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment — to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ
NIV

Is this life about getting what you and I want or finding that WE can hear from God with clarity? I would hope your response would  be Yes to both! 

Is the will of God something to be gleaned from because that's exactly what He (God) wants or will God's will prove to be something you or I do NOT want to see made manifest in the world that we're surrounded by?

What would a person discover if EVERYONE around their person DID accept the WILL of God? Would they as a result begin to feel pressure to be something they're NOT?

And what type of person enjoys being pressured into doing or being something they're NOT or don't see they've been equipped to BECOME as if the IMPOSSIBLE?

 And who has believed WHO in this world?

And if s sinner can't be taught HOW to hear with clarity who then becomes the easiest and THE biggest target to blame for their TYPE of behavior if not the mindset of a multitude of "Sinners" who refuse to be reconciled to God?

And what type of advocate is any sinner who has NOT been reconciled unto God (Christ) in an everlasting relationship?

Is the religious wars being fought today NOT seen as if among the pagan? And if NOT seen among the pagan, who then is fighting WHO?

Are the religious wars today being fought because of the riches understood to be INSIDE the proverbial MONEY bag? And who does NOT also want to be the ONE holding the "Money Bag" (Purse strings) if money is NOT the root of ALL "evil"?

And if the one whose MONEY bag is SEEN as being filled with the riches of the kingdom of God, exactly what does the Kingdom of God then appear to have become by those who have paid Homage to same?

By design exactly what is the intent behind "Authority" or "Circumstances" if our life time summation that's been framed by our words becomes, "It Just so Happens"?

Is knowing God also the ability to SEE God? Or is seeing God knowing that you would recognize His presence if you've only HEARD He's arrived on scene. sw

Is there such a thing as a "Great Master Plan" without the resources (power) in order to bring those same plans to fruition?

And without knowing that both the plan and the resources have come from the same source, truly what is any mans desires derived from that are not also "Common to man"?

In terms of being able to identify anything, "Exactly" what is a divided Kingdom that is also inside of those who've suggested they have believed every word that comes from the mouth of God?

To then truthfully consider exactly how significant does "The Christ" sent of the ONE true God then BECOME verses being surrounded by the narrative of supposedly MANY different Gods'"

Try and find a man who has strongly suggested to himself he has understood why the Love of Money is the "Root" of all evil who does not hear from the Lord?

To then find this same type of man who in turn has NOT pursued evil Intentions while also trusting in God as his source of everything he's considered to be for his own profit?

How much that has to do with hearing from God is also relative to knowing beyond the scope of doubt that God is FOR and NOT against you. And who today speaks on behalf of the Lord from within you if NOT the Holy Spirit. sw

This same type of man having found his abundance of earthly wealth easily obtained from those whose (budgetary) restraints are like shackles on their hands and feet because they too have lusted for more of what has consumed them both?

As might those who seem to have anything less than 100% invested in whatever is taking place outside of their smaller sphere's, the commentary concerning same might sound like, "Why should I care unless I can see and know what's in it for me"?

And who has a man truly partnered with if such a man FAILS to realize the intent of the investment made?

1 Cor 12:7
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
NIV

One MUST know if the prophet is truly in control of the spirit or if the spirit is in control of his (mans) person in any God given moment? And truly what is the depth of a mans (person) entire character that's also attached to his living "Will" that's also been set "Free"?

And if the "Cord" of a mans strength does not include the Joy that comes from the continuous counsel from the gifted indwelling of Gods spirit exactly WHO is it that has been gagged, shackled and bound as if having been silenced?

Yet who also enjoys suffering and 'Why"?

Bound, yet bound by what if NOT a mans own "Ignorance and Unbelief"?

Just as there is a reason, as if a season or time for everything, does this principle somehow vacate the guided activity of the ears and lips whom God has made "Wise' by way of his momentary counsel?

Is any one sentence below any less true than the one to follow? As such without having truly considered everything being said that is also 'Of God"?

Is a line item 'Veto" of the words of God even possible? If "No" why do supposedly CERTAIN men insist on bringing the words of God into the arena of opposition?

To then remember that the mankind was instructed to call no man on earth his father, yet were those same words only intended FOR those whom God considers to have been born of His spirit with the "Fullness" of his intent in being brought to maturity?

And why does any man have need of clouding his own fountain while arguing for the sake of those he shares his world with?

Has man been brought to the point of opportunity where children have been given the writ of divorce from their God provided parental oversight?

To call no man Father to also suggest what in terms of blame, regret, obedience and whose spiritual guidance is valued above all others?

To then conclude having also been Taught that God does NOT somehow speak to men directly today or that a man gets to CHOOSE who is allowed to SPEAK what is TRUE into a life that's no longer his own?

What is any mans true strength if His Father finds no Joy in what he does? Are we only talking about an earthly Father? And how powerful has the Joy of the Lord proved to be in a life that is YOURS?

And what is a "Broken" spirit if not one in need of mending?

Prov 17:17-28
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity .

A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

James 3:5-6
5 Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire , and is itself set on fire by hell. NIV

I'll ask again what happens to spiritual wisdom when gender specifics are brought into these type of images? Who then is neglected, esteemed or brought low?

Prov 17
21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.

22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.

27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. KJV


Who were the Patriarchs if not also siblings of Joseph whom God also created?

Whereas without knowing that patriarchs are also predetermined examples in the lineage of mankind, how can ANYONE within any time period also find their relativity while enjoying a contemporary understanding that's been shaped and formed from a false narrative?

If it could somehow be clearly understood that ONLY God is Good in the false light of what a dying world is saying, who then could also see clearly? Clear enough to then glean from the depth and meaning of Good WILL assumed to naturally reside within anyone?

Yet at what point does evil reveal itself except that a man discovers that God in some way has found a way to reveal Himself through an otherwise UNWILLING and unrighteous vessel?

And what does evil have need of doing should an otherwise dead and dying world begin to believe what evil has spent years trying to keep under lock and key within a BOOK being presented as though filled with mere "Fairy Tales"?

And exactly what type of spirit has come from afar? From afar to suggest somewhere else that men are supposedly desirous of their own "Return" having been reconciled unto their creator? And how many mindsets have lost sight of the redemption of their own investments made while Here?

And what is a type of repentance that is ALSO in keeping with the TRUTH if same has also NOT been granted? The type of repentance Granted to those who not only confess with lips that have the potential to lie, but compelled by a heart that truly believe that God also KNOWS the heart of ALL men?

Have you ever sought from God yet you have yet to realize what you've sought? And who can receive from God what God has NOT granted?

And what is the Faith that is "Of God" if not the substance of things hoped for? Does God task men with different considerations He too does NOT abide in?

2 Tim 2:24-26
Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to the knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will. NIV

And what is the combined purpose of any TYPE of sense(S) God has also given unto MEN? Did God truly GIVE gifts to men or did he give us tools and instruments which then lead us in "Iniquity"?

And what does God make "Known" when His spirit does speak through yet another of mans own kind when He (God) then says to His own to DO what?

1 Tim 4:7-8
Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. NIV

Once more exactly WHAT have you believed? Just as equal because of WHO shared WHAT with YOU that is also TRUE?

And what is ANYTHING that is also OBVIOUS to those who are claiming to be innocently BLINDED from somehow knowing the TRUTH?

Whether a man sins precede or follow, does either instance also suggest his innocence or denial of same?

1 Tim 5:24-25
The sins of some men are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them. In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not cannot be hidden. NIV

2 Cor 13:7-10
Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong. Not that people will see that we have stood the test but that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed.

For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth .

We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is for your perfection. 10 This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority — the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.
NIV

Acts 7:9-10
"Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him and rescued him from all his troubles.

He gave Joseph wisdom and enabled him to gain the goodwill of Pharaoh king of Egypt; so he made him ruler over Egypt and all his palace. NIV

If The forgiveness of God were the dividing line of all the hostilities and unfortunate episodes that wage war within within any man, at what point would the GOOD NEWS that God is no longer counting the sins of men AGAINST His kind of man also rescue this same man from "Doubt and Unbelief"?

Gods kind of man who is also willing to "Repent"?

And if a man refuses to repent who then can this same man also find to "Blame" for his own sins if NOT his own kind? And if a man can be "Guilted" into doing even worse things, who then has either truly BELIEVED?

And today how many are the mentioned "SO many"? Is there a TRUE reason why the spirit of God within a man of God is truly grieved? And how does one discern the spirit of FALSE light?

And if not by way of those whose epistle is primarily the profitability they claim to have found within that same spiritual realm?

If what a man does NEED to know about God could be fleshed out, exactly "What" will this same man also discover? The Root of All Evil is what?

And if ever the Money trail (way) were intended of God to be followed NOT only where will it lead to, but also what will a man discern when the one holding the money bag then SPEAKS in defense of the one whose holding tight to the money bag?

Is a person anointed by what he can purchase, or by the words He's paid HARD earned money in order somehow "Procure"? Is there a TRUE reason why some words are EMPTY and others that are full of the "Grace of God" He has freely provided?

And if a man were ONLY looking for a Formula that does discover "Gods Grace". why not simply sell a man a "Treasure Map"?

Acts 20:32-34
"Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

I have not coveted anyone's silver or gold or clothing. You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions.
NIV


And when was the last time you read of or heard from an angel (messenger) of God whom was also depicted as one who carries around a wallet? A wallet that is full of the riches that in "Glory"?

And who is it that is charging some who are OBVIOUSLY struggling while trying to enter that same Glory as if somehow selling ACCESS to same? Many are claiming many are being saved, yet who is it that truly Saves and even greater what is proving to be the evidence of same...or Not?

The need for more MONEY in order to do so? And if God does plunder the wicked and give to the righteous, who then is being plundered and WHY? Those who have toiled, and bought and paid for their spiritual education?

As if somehow CHARGING the same ones for the substance of what GOD has FREELY Given to them? Is it not foolishness to consider that a tract, flier or one hour audio tape can somehow out perform the righteous delivery of the person of Christ?

The same one's that have claimed to have seen the spirit of God Face to Face by way of coming in close enough to HEAR the words of God who whispers while at Rest?

To then sit back and honestly wonder why the condition of the body of Christ refuses to mature that insist it's already in possession and has been filled with ALL that is needed in order to be saved?

And how does that find itself further commenting on the many office(s) contained within the thoughts of a True "Father"?

Sub-titles of that personage of Father such as Teacher, Elder(s), Prophet(s), Bishops, Holy Spirit, and further needed the complete assembling (Informed) of same within a disciple?

2 Cor 2:15-17
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? 

Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God
NIV

James 1:5-11
5 If any of you lacks wisdom , he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. 

9 The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. 10 But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business. 
NIV

Should gratitude somehow find its own opportunity to express its great fortune, is it not be between the peaks and valley's of calamity?

Prov 14:32
When calamity comes, the wicked are brought downbut even in death the righteous have a refuge.
NIV


Is there such a thing as role reversal in the spiritual realm?

How does God reveal himself to those who did NOT ask for Him? Does God NOT cause the rain to fall and the sun to shine on ALL men equally? The same God who also says that HE gives generously to ALL WITHOUT finding fault? And how does a man also find this same God as though He has revealed Himself?

And if the Love of God is "Unconditional" who has also misrepresented the requirement of Repentance? The same type of Repentance that also empties the value of the TREE the cursed of God was also Placed Upon?

Is there such a thing as the cursed of God? If so who might this Person appear to BE? And if the curse of God were also seen as the WRATH of God, who then in turning in ORDER to observe same should be thankful?

And if all a man does have to GIVE to God is ALL that God has also GIVEN, who does NOT have the spirit of God within his or her personage as though something tangible and as such that has also been made available unto God when called upon to DO Good WORKS?

Does such a man simply refuse to accept that God has revealed Himself and in doing so somehow becomes validation man is RIGHT?

Does a man then somehow assume that he can then cause this spirit of God within to somehow become a slave to this mans OLD ways? Or does the WILL of this spirit endure being locked away in the imprisonment and confinement established by the selfish "Soul" of mankind?

Is there a true reason WHY the "Mankind" also has need of seeing the title of the SOUL as though Unique to his own personage? Or has truth revealed that the desires of the SOUL are common to ALL mankind?

Are many today also guilty of the same things of which they accuse others? The type who also find they have to RENAME it before they can somehow Re-CLAIM it?

Rom 10:20-21
And Isaiah boldly says,

"I was found by those who did not seek me ; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me." 

But concerning Israel he says,

"All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people." 
NIV

As is any form of Ignorance, the only requirement is what? Failure to Listen/Hear?

And if free will is the choice to Listen to whomever it is a soul also chooses to "Believe", is it ALL truly and REAL ...Wonder that also will's self to somehow remain "Wonderful" the day when TRUTH rounds the Corner?

Some make light of the Blab it and Grab it crowd, yet is this NOT what ALL those who are UNRIGHTEOUS.....DO?

Does God have enemies?


Some suggest the war between Good and evil wages on, yet in the light of today how hard is it to find a meaningful amount of people in One area who can clearly articulate either position as if in agreement?

Are there times when it seems like both sides are wearing the same "Uniform"? As if both sides have become convinced they're positioned in the "Righteous light"? Here's your 'Sign" as some might suggest....

The biblical image here could be the weeds (tares) that grow among wheat

What happens whenever ANYTHING does not have a given "NAME"? Does that include the inhabitants of invisible spiritual realm?

Have you ever considered why Jesus pressed the demonic to the point the leading voice speaking identified itself as "Legion"? Though THEY were many (demons) the voice speaking on behalf of the many spoke for the rank and file who were then forced out and into a herd of pigs.....

Was the reason that He asked the name that Jesus did not already know the name of the spirit OR the fact Jesus IS ALWAYS the TEACHER? Why is it so difficult for most any believer to overcome the ANTI mindset?

The mindset of the "God does NOT hear my cries CROWD"?

Why does any ANTI crowd also NEED more members if not for the sake of the POWER OF THE CROWD. sw

Is this blindness because many can't see because the affects of the CROWD have dulled the INSIGHT of the Spirit? A MOST definite NO!

Why some might ask? Once again "Here's YOUR sign!

Rom 8:14
......because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God .
NIV

Much like when Jesus made known at the tomb of Lazarus "For the benefit of the people".

And what might prevent ANYONE from the entitlement (Power) of Knowing their prayers are heard of God?

And what makes ANY man or woman RIGHTEOUS in the sight of God?

Without knowing the CAUSE for ANYTHING how is it even possible to somehow CONFRONT the spirit of the issue in the moment? Especially if that same spirit has no NAME?

One must always remember in their prayer Life no matter how HOLY or HUMBLE one might assume their words sound in the ears of God.......to GOD belongs ALL Glory and Honor.

James 4:1-6
What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?

You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God.

When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives , that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. 

You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God?

Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely?  But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:

"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." 
NIV

How relevant this next question will prove to be depends on several factors, but my point is Humble as many try to define Humble today is NOT what God acknowledges.

The ONLY thing a person can do with regard to 'Being" humbled by the Holy Spirit is to Listen to the Holy Spirit. Believe me when I say this, YOU will know when the Holy Spirit is the ONE speaking.

Even more so when your newly acknowledged enemy soon come visit you shortly there after and ATTEMPT to steal from you what God has given to you!

Your NEW enemy truly really is not new, but an otherwise "Old" friend (relative) who has since turned on you.

Much like a jealous sibling who will uses MANY ugly tactics, because your NEW realized enemy wants what God has placed (deposited) In You.

Humble is NOT how You and I define Humble. Humble is something ONLY the Holy spirit can cause to manifest within a person.

There is NO fixed formula for being Humble in the SIGHT OF GOD.

There's No set time line where having been humbled has finished its Good work. Granted there are many convincing ACTORS in this world who are fully invested in their attempts made at obtaining the patent on "Salvation".

The TRUE believers IN CHRIST are NOT called to follow false Teachers who are "IMITATORS" hence why the presence of Christ in so many also LOOKS so different!

1 John 4:18
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

Tears alone or tears combined with prescript declarations don't make you humble. The Holy Spirit is the one who brings you the uncontrolled tears of Joy.

Hot off the press and from the Hymn book of Solemn Praise many will sing unto God are these precious words.

Ps 119:111-112
Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart. My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end. NIV

I'll Give you a biblical example, but first ask your SELF this, Is a person considered Humble because they've declared themselves HUMBLE?

In the following passage (I've also rechecked in as many as 5 translation) are the commentary of the author who also recorded the book of Numbers.

Exactly how does someone (Moses) write for the sake of God to include the lively and likeness of their own person? More so  if that same Person has been appointed OF GOD to also tell the story?

What would a jealous sibling sound like who might hope to refute what was recorded ABOUT Moses? When or IF a personality were to ATTEMPT to undermine someone who does belong to GOD, what are they also seduced into DOING?

Are these type of siblings now stuck with having to go to great lengths in order to somehow refute that Moses did write the first 5 books of the bible...Good luck with that and may God forgive them for they Know NOT what they DO!

Num 12:3
(Now Moses was a very humble man , more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)
NIV

And if the One who authored those same books is also as confident as his words sound, I too can only hope that I and You can somehow aspire to mature to the same "Mindset" as if OUR mutual Goal and Trust In God!

And who is the God sent Poster Child as if the image of the most MATURED son of God?

Is Godliness only the matter that suggest, "Well someone has to do it" OR should it be that God desires His Joint heirs to be brought to maturity to the place of "Confidence"?

And where might that be if NOT the day of Judgement where the sons of the Living God are revealed not only for WHO they are, but for the sake of WHO helped them reach Maturation?

John 11:41-42
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."  
NIV

Mark 5:8-9
For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you evil spirit!"

9 Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" NIV

Is it possible there is POWER in a name and there's power to discern between God and Evil because we DO know with certainty what certain "Names" and "Titles" were intended to reveal?

Is it true in a mans righteous efforts to relate to God half of his battle's will prove to be trying to discern who is for or against him?

And if those type of questions are ANYWHERE to be found in the House of God at what point do those same things become our SIGN as if believers who are not only In Christ but also those who are possessed by and have the mind of Christ.....Form this day forward why not let it be known that PINK elephant in the room does have a NAME?

Where I and many other do go astray is that it is forgotten it is the Lord who will bring all things he has told You back to our remembrance, yet also remember that if you and I can't hear His voice how can He?

It is Christ who makes right the wrong, it is his power that cure the illness, heals the marriage, raises the dead or whatever the misunderstood consideration is.

Whenever it is brought to question in terms of who's doing what under the terms of participation in the realm of life and Godliness it must always be remembered that it is the Lord "Who will raise him Up"!

1 Cor 15:17-19
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.  
NIV

Provided the needed circumstances come those who belong to this world WILL leave you for the next most desirous thing.

John was given the title as the greatest Prophet to have come from the womb of women. John also said what, "I must decrease so that Christ might Increase". I went looking for this personality in other area's in recorded biblical history. You know who I found?

Joseph the adopted personage that helped watch over the maturation process of Christ.

How do I know? For me personally "Who God trust I also Trust"?

I Tried to study the limited details of his recorded participation in the life of Christ in the words of God. There was more said of Mary than Joseph.

What was said of his (Joseph) person was also ALL that I needed to hear and see as if a living example of what John was describing in his own decrease!

God did say it is NOT good than man be alone... Amen? But it was also said by way of Gods spirit "If God be for us who can stand against us"...Praise God

P.S
The word uniformity is nothing new, yet I believe the defining God like character of that word is getting so 'Close" its going to eventually require sudden movement on the part of this giant (One spiritual man God is raising up in the earth) in order that it's presence can be discerned.


Wednesday, November 15, 2017

Stand by YOUR man!

Honesty being ONLY everything it's eternally worth, have you ever posed the question in the boardroom where God does role call, "Is there ANY danger in having accepted ONLY partial representation of "Gods Word"?

As is anything that's considered "Incomplete", what usually prevents ANY type of "Needed" results from being REALIZED?

Is there any REAL danger is viewing ANYONE from a worldly point of view?

Only later finding that "Regret" has since decided to revisit the conscience?

Have you ever trained as an athlete for an event with every ounce of your being only later to be "Disqualified"? And who does the Apostle Paul remind us of prior to his own personal trainer showing up on the road to Damascus?

Who does the presence of satan (evil) try to remind us of if NOT a personage that resembles a fallen Angel? Do you find it easier to SEE the devil in the details of humanity above and beyond the GOODNESS of God?

And who is it that has FAILED miserably due only to what is lacking that ONLY God can provide?

The type of "Gifts" given to the world or to the Church?

And how might the precise reason for the discerning of spirits TODAY also serve the children of God in the earth? Or for that matter any other gifting God has given to the Church for their relevance within the BODY (one spiritual man) God is also assumed to still be assembling in the earth?

Is there a deeper reason why Jesus emphasized that ONLY God is GOOD? Did He say this as though it is IMPOSSIBLE for man to somehow Do GOOD works? And exactly what is IMPOSSIBLE with GOD at the "Helm" of ANY vessel?

What if the next time you hear or think of someone as though they are somehow being TOO spiritual, truly what is being suggested and as such ONLY the words of God can clearly define?

That this person has LOST connection with the HEAD? Does God fail to acknowledge those who are TRYING? Or does God reward those who diligently SEEK Him?

And how does God view those who've STOPPED TRYING to be what everything else in THIS world might suggest that God is NOT in any given moment?

And why did Jesus come to His own, yet his own did NOT receive Him? Is there guilt on both sides of the Isle? Are we talking about the Hatfield's and McCoys or the the children of God who are opposed to something else God also created?

Which is worse in terms of being unexpectedly bitten? The Dog whose tail is wagging while eating or the reality that sets in should that dogs food unexpectedly be taken from him?

What about the mindset of a type of person who claims to see the devil perched on every other fence post verses someone who suggest God wouldn't manifest his person is such a seemingly LOW position?

To then weigh the thoughts that do concern the presentation of the Son of God whose presence was found in a Meal Trough in a facility designed for "Sheep"?

Is there a "Primary" reason WHY it would seem ONLY the PREACHERS of Gods word are able to also HEAR from GOD? And what is the FRUIT of a disciple who's also been sent?

And who by NOW should also be TEACHERS if God did have and hold any type of expectations as if the direct results of His Children that have reached maturity? As if by design whom also conduct His business in the earth?

And what is an Angel if NOT also the image of a messenger or ministering spirit sent of God? What type of image also depicts a spirit that is willing encased in flesh that is weak? The same type who has truly assessed having compared apples to apples as if seen in the eye of THE father who is SPIRIT?

Exactly how bright does a blazing FLAME appear to be in the sight of God?

Col 2:18-19
Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize.

Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his nonspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions.

He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
NIV

And who would look to somehow extinguish a flame if NOT those who have need of the cloak of darkness? And what is encouragement if NOT the flame that's been fueled or Fanned?

If there is an image of someone who's also "Looking for God", what does that image also "Look Like"?

I don't know if you've ever been asked this type of question before or NOT, but IF God and the devil are both believed to BE spiritual beings (unseen in this realm) how can anyone suggest the devil is in the details and NOT GOD?

What is discernment if NOT for the sake of somehow seeing or hearing what God is doing in any given moment or NOT?

Yet if the physical presence of God can NOT be seen, how does this image of God who does see God somehow get 'Discerned" by the one who's looking for God?

Because I'm NOT an expert in the LAW, and because God is the only One can ACCEPT those who do belong to Him I am NOT able to answer for you or anyone else.

What I also understand though is this....

Luke 11:52
"Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered , and you have hindered those who were entering."
NIV

I also know there is a "Word Picture" issued of of GOD of the type of person who also FORGETS what they look like after gazing at their reflection....


Num 14:5-12

5 Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there. 6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes 7 and said to the entire Israelite assembly, "The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. 8 If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. 9 Only do not rebel against the LORD. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them."

10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites. 11 The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them? 12 I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they."
NIV


It's a challenging thought, but have your physical eyes ever directly gazed upon Your own physical presence? We have only observed a "Reflection" or a captured image of our presence! That is to also suggest just short of an out of Body citing of our personage.....

It's one thing to have read the words of God in terms of duty, obligation or maybe as though an assignment, yet if you walk away from Gods word without a clearer understanding of the TRUE perspective of God, what have you somehow "Studied"?

2 Cor 7:9-10
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
NIV

When was the last time the spirit of the words "Looking for Love in ALL the wrong Places" managed to stir "More" than just a type of untitled something within You? As such while making an honest attempt at weighing "The Glory of God"?

 When was the last time you encountered the person whom you feel has the "Hardest Head" in the world? This same type of person who's since been brought to their (Self) "Knee's" by way of God ordained 'Suffering"?

And who are those who are NOT discerning the righteous cause of any mans suffering in this world? Is another mans suffering also "None Of YOUR business"? And what type of business does Your heavenly Father also get involved IN?

At what "Point" does any type of message sent to YOU somehow "Lose" it's meaning? Does Your message that's been well received somehow loose it's value ONLy when its INTENDED recipient has also received SAME?

I'm not talking about Memorabilia or "Keepsake" item(s) you've stuffed in some empty shoe box we take out every 5 or 10 years in order to reflect upon same?

What I'm talking about is the type of message that's proved not only to be brimming over with self proclaimed fond memories, but full of clearly God established mile markers? Life changing and mindset altering God centered memories?

Life changing message to also suggest a type of change that hasn't stopped changing you since you and those around You who did "GET" the message? And as such because this message is also the type of message intended for those who are "Willing" to be bought and brought to "Mature"?

As if something that has been MADE out of NOTHING?

Matt 25:28-30

Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' NIV

And where is the address where there is no LAW where there is also NO MERCY SHOWN?

Rom 4:14-15
For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless, because law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression. NIV

If it were understood that it could take a life time to understand the depth of Mercy as well a Righteous Judge who interprets same, at point does any mans life become "Meaningless". sw

Exactly what are the spoils of a war that's been fought and won? What does the fruit of True Victory look like once "Realized". sw

In Ancient Greece, victorious athletes were presented with laurel wreaths to wear. They were, and still are, signs of great accomplishment, unless you start resting on them.  (History Revealed)

Exactly how does the word MEANINGFUL somehow translate into whatever it is we also ENJOY doing most?

Exactly who is it that is SPOON feeding the saints today?

As if those who are doing the FEEDING also know that if the infants they are feeding were to somehow grow Up, they'd suddenly realize what in terms of exactly WHO it is that is also DOING the teaching?

And when was the last time you heard or read of someone whom God considers and continues to acknowledge as if an INFANT? As if those who claim they either forgot the "Objective" or it was the "Dogs" who ate their "Assignment"?

Those who do NOT consider themselves to be SPOON fed, exactly who's making that assessment or NOT? 

How many who are also considered to be spiritual ADULTS also rely upon the CHILDREN in their homes to prepare the "Nutritional" meal everyone in the household CONSUMES?

Exactly how laden with "Sweets" would you suggest those same meals would routinely prove to be if that were the case?

And how many things that pertain to this world also run parallel with the Spiritual things God then puts to use in order to teach us what we have need of KNOWING about Him? And who's ignoring what today?

Surely there is the Golden Rule in the doing unto others as you WOULD have them do unto YOU, yet is this a "complete" understanding that is without a FULL awareness of ALL that God has said and WHY?

And what happens whenever ANYONE journey's through this life if ONLY to be heard is ONLY but a dream or mystical notion? Heard "Maybe"? Yet HEARD by "WHO" and "WHY?

Is the only "Way" to ensure a healthy appetite by way of "Starvation"? Or being TASKED with obligation and preparation for "Spiritual awareness" (discernment) which then requires the type of spiritual "TEACHING" only the Lord can provide?

Is the glass only half full or empty because mankind is doing the 'Pouring"? And who is the One who also GIVES the Holy Spirit? The same one who says "Be Filled" with the Holy Spirit? And what does the person who's had their "Fill" appear as?

And exactly HOW frustrated were YOU the last time you went in pursuit of THOSE who have believed EVERY WORD that has come from the MOUTH of God and NOT just some of those words?

Only to find what?

Your version of SELF being or getting even MORE frustrated while doing the same things over and over AGAIN? Again and again while also trying to convince self a thorough "Investigation" has been attempted having looked only into not only the will but the Living Will of God?

The type of living WILL of God that also more than participates in the THINGS of this world?

Just think if it were TRUE that a man is ONLY as GOOD as his LAST "Deal"? At what point would such a man begin to suffer from the major 'Set Back" brought on by way of what he has believed to be TRUE? At what point does ANYONE become satisfied or cease to inquire of God as if there is NO MORE of God to be sought out?

What type of Spiritual MAN finds enjoyment in the limitations of his mortal "Body" destined to realize its decay? Is it the BODY that hopes in the Lord of HOST? Or the Mind of The Spirit within a man his soul also follows?

Exactly how far down the road of Life Eternal is any man looking without also catching a glimpse of exactly what it is being pursued with ALL that He is said he will become?

Rom 8:18-27
The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration , not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
NIV

That being asked, "How many are proving they are presently "Satisfied" with their OWN findings as to ALL that Love "Is"? As if somehow having "Measured" Love and found it to BE incomplete and/or not worthy of pursuing further as if there's MORE?

Maybe having ceased "Pursuing" the purest sense of the word "Love"?

At what point does LOVE also COMPLETELY understand that it IS better to GIVE than Receive? Enough that LOVE does become the GIFT that keeps on GIVING?

And what type of person forgets that when they water another they TOO will be WATERED? In terms of motive do YOU know of ANYONE who only waters others with the LEAD in intent of being WATERED? Watered by WHOM though and in WHAT WAY?

And what does it suggest should one find disappointment? Only that they've relied upon what and "Whom" based of what they also suggest they also KNOW all too WELL?

And exactly how painful are the thoughts of "SELF" somehow dying a slow death so that Christ may not only RISE but even greater  LIVE within?

Only later finding yourself without (void) the type of reasoning as to WHY it seems that YOU never seem to be receiving the SAME in return? And exactly WHO is it that also examines AND knows the hearts of men?

DO those who suggest they're LOVING also know what the divine difference is between a manipulator and a True GIVER? What happens when a man accepts he can ONLY receive from the Lord?

Are you also LOOKING for "LOVE" as if LOVE is primarily ONLY all about how YOU feel?

At what point does Love cease from BEING more than a feeling and MORE to do with what YOU KNOW to be TRUE?  

True in terms of what truly does cause anything to "WORK" (function properly)?

Why does it take some people longer than others to find ANYTHING as if the "Desired" results are EQUALLY available to ALL who are 'Earnestly" searching for the SAME (answers)?

That to include the fact God did choose to use men in order to participate in somehow bringing the FULL affect (impact) of His words from Heaven into "This World"?

And how is it any type of opinion could possibly somehow affect the "Intent and Purpose" in God having sent His word to the inhabitants of Earth? Some might suggest holding the line, yet how many have lost sight of having Dropped the proverbial "Ball"?

Many seem to be comfortable struggling with the "How" God managed to accomplish the clean transfer of His spoken word from one realm to another, yet how many of those same individuals are truly more opposed to WHY God did? As if to suggest God made a poor choice in His choosing?

And without understanding WHY God did choose the capacity mankind and NOT the Angels He also created, how can any ONE also begin to believe HOW God accomplished all that He set his mind to do having utilized the limited capacity of both created beings?

There are some who "Choose" to believe and Interpret the words of God as if there's only one relevant verse (John 3:16) which happens to be ONE of my favorite verses. Second only to John 11:35.

But let me ask this, what would the results (evidence) also look like if John 3:16 were ALL that needs to be heard FROM GOD in order to INHERIT "Salvation"?

Would that "Interpretation" look anything like as if the WHO any ONE else would then SEE claiming to be the  representation (ambassador) of Gods word that is also ALIVE and ACTIVE...Today?

Especially so if the behavior seen today by those who are claiming to be Christians TRULY did define the type of CHRISTIANITY God intended same to LOOK LIKE?

I once read a excerpt from something the well respected "Mahatma Gandhi" reportedly scripted. It said something to the effect of,

"I was once given a Christian Bible and read about a man named Jesus and those who were willing to follow Him. He went on to say, "I almost became one of them, that is until I met one'!

Sounds wise and very "Profound" doesn't it?

And what does the eternal "SEED" of God look like once it has taken "Root" and truly begins it's life cycle? Does it remain simply a "Seedling"? Does it germinate and begin to "Sprout" after having put its roots down?

And the NET result of that life cycle being WHAT? The reproduction of "Fruit" that will last?

And what is ANY type of "Word picture" that is without THE accompaniment of the comparative "Picture"? Has God failed to provide the flawless supply of "Images" that do explain what the intent of His words could somehow be compared to?

Though seemingly seeing ALL these same things God also supplied (to include the image of mankind), isn't Mahatma's summation also being critical of ALL he too (as a mere man) failed to "Hear" and as the result 'SEE"?

Did he fail to SEE what the narrative of God does go to GREAT lengths in order to explain? If you answered "Yes", exactly WHAT did He as a man also FAIL to see as God intended?

Ganhdi may have met some ONE, yet as is always the RIGHT question, did he too meet the wrong ONE? And what does the work of a Master Builder also LOOK LIKE if NOT like the craftsmanship (work) of an "Apostle" and/or an "Evangelist"?

DID Gandhi even make it past the FIRST depicted image as God has illustrated in the parable of the "Sower and Seed"?

Was the "Seed" assumed to have been affirmed planted in Him (Gandhi) done with care, attention to detail and discernment only the Guidance of the Holy Spirit can provide?

Or, was the seed "Supposedly" simply carelessly tossed along the dry ground as might some "Tract" handed out? Days later to find its whereabouts strewn among the multitude of other colorful "Sales Pitches" the world offers?

And what is the DRAW of CHRIST without the absolute understanding of the origin of the OFFENSE? The mutuality of this offense that's since been FOUND to be in NEED of being SHOWN ....The Mercy of GOD?

And WHO is able to accomplish such a task who is also WITHOUT the "Mind of Christ" that does speak? Is the question DOES the mind of Christ NOT have a "Dominate" opinion?

Or is the question is the Mind of Christ NO WHERE to be found in this world as though it has NOT been MADE available, strategically located by it's MASTER and made easily ACCESSIBLE?

If there is any type of "Due Diligence" that must first have its way before the Mercy of God can be realized, at what "Point" does this type Mastery come on scene?

Prov 12:12
The wicked desire the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.
NIV

Prov 12:11
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. KJV

If the ONLY answer is also ONLY according to the words of God, why did that seed NOT grow if it is GOD who sends the sower, the ONE who waters and TRULY is the ONE who GIVES the increase?

Because the devil also requires an ADVOCATE, who's since asking, "How do YOU know Gandhi did NOT go on and LATER get "Converted"?

My point in presenting same as I have is this, "I did NOT suggest that he didn't"! No more than I'm somehow personally responsible for saving every soul that's LOST and that because it is the PERSON (spirit) of Jesus who does the 'Saving"!

But what I am suggesting is, "What GOOD is there that could manifest by way of that type of question" in terms of timing AND "Opportunity"?

Couldn't the same question be asked of Hitler, Stalin, those read of in Sodom & Gomorrah or Cain? If we were to read of CAIN we would also SEE what type of example and purpose his choice of disobedience SHOULD prevent today!

Is there a record being kept for future generations as to what we today have managed that does belong to God? If "Yes" how would it read?

1 Cor 10:11-13

11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.

So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. NIV

Is it possible that said "Way OUT" is the only way OUT yet ONLY to be FOUND through "The Christ".

Is there a reason men see it as if a NEED to rewrite the divine narrative as if the contrived Doctrine that tries to thoroughly explain "Once saved ALWAYS saved"? 

If 'Yes", how then can there be words that also have meaning such as "Blotted" out when conveying images recorded in the "Lambs Book of Life"? Does man then himself needing to find a way to "Redefine" the words "Blotted OUT"?

Jude 11
Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain ; they have rushed for profit into Balaam's error; they have been destroyed in Korah's rebellion. NIV

And to later hear yet another prophet put to use that same "Example"!

Especially if representing the type of Hope that is somehow directly linked to performance in this world that may or MAY NOT have done a GOOD work?

 Especially so if YOUR own obedience unto God is also BASED upon what? What YOU, I or any INDIVIDUAL in the truest sense are willing to BELIEVE to be TRUE and having been converted to then go and DO likewise?

And what is ANY mans "Living Will" if that man is also NOT willing to Believe? Wasn't it Jesus who said" The work that I require of your is that YOU "Believe?

And IF what God has made known and if Christ was ONLY speaking to His 12 Disciples (Apostle's) while performing as the EXACT IMAGE of a Faithful messenger, is it still a huge mystery why so many today see the informative words of God as if only the prepackaged presentation being delivered found in "John 3:16"?

And why does any ONE scoff or sneeze at the very thought of "Re gifting"? Is it that they're being cheap if they were to re-gift?

OR is it more accurate that they would NOT be SEEN as if the ONE who actually provided for and gave the Gift? Having "Become" more concerned how the re-gifting might somehow reflect poorly on their own performance or diligence?

And what does the EFFECTUAL communication of FAITH in Christ LOOK LIKE if NOT acknowledging every GOOD thing that is IN those who are IN CHRIST?

And what does parading around as if an Angel of Light also LOOK LIKE on any given day? He might have had the flowing robe role down pat, yet what was in his Gandhi's heart?

It's too easy to JUMP on the band wagon, just make sure the BAND is not only playing the RIGHT 'Tune", but also make sure the "Wagon" is headed in the right direction. sw

And what could it POSSIBLY sound like to hear Jesus think OUT LOUD when trying to express ANYTHING Only He seems to be able SEE?

Especially if EVERYTHING He (Jesus) thinks and speaks is also TRUE despite what every ONE around him may or may NOT be willing to BELIEVE?

Matt 11:16-19
"To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

"'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.'

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners." ' But wisdom is proved right by her actions." NIV

Having read the passage you just read, how many stumbled over the borrowed use and gender specific's as stated (her actions)?

Acts 6:8
And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
KJV

Exactly what would the spiritual evidence of those words LOOK LIKE in a true Life that also has shape and form in this world?

Is it even possible to remain relevant if only in "Part" if you're also hoping to somehow "Consistently" DO the will of God in every passing day? Somehow veering off to the left or right of the proverbial "Beaten" path?

And that type of path also being "Defined" by what type of self defining words?

And what is the greatest Lie ever told if NOT the ONE that is "Believed"? And what type of person is also willing to spend ALL day searching for their poorly driven FAVORITE kind of Golf ball in the TALL WEEDS?

I hear many stories people are attempting to tell others as if to the Glory of God who also suggest those stories are LIVING "Testimony" of the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT, yet what is NOT being heard is the type which places on FULL display a type of LASTING evidence.

And what does repeated "Back Sliding" gone on to 'Prove" if NOT....Victory IN CHRIST? And that Victory being realized without having risen from defeat?

What type of evidence could otherwise be left out of any story being Told about the required efforts exerted for the sake of a "Clear Conscience" towards God?

And what PART of any struggle Glorifies the "Absence" of the Holy Spirit?

Which also includes differing circumstances each and everyday "Tangibly Presents" as if  pointing directly AT the common desires within ALL men that require "Conquering"?

In terms of a true "Relationship" and its continual development, is there ANY risk involved in being away from another "person" for an extended period of time?

How many can "Envision" John (the baptizer) who's since found His person in prison for the sake of "Making the Announcement" of the Christ in his manifest "Presence"? This mighty man of God whom Jesus refers to in Matthew 11:11 as follows?

I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it. 

For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
NIV

What happens when we do find ourselves "Drifting Away" from certain people even in this world in which we live and presently find our being?

I asked before in an earlier blog, is there any DANGER in considering any ONE from a worldy point of view? And who is that also gets to decide who's who in ANY world?

Is there a much deeper reason why men instinctively resist being referred to as ONE of the THEY or THEM within a conversation?

And what IF there presently IS no CLEAR Image (Abundantly Obvious) that also speaks for and on behalf of a RIGHTEOUS congregate in terms of "WE" the people (Children) of God?

Once again and if this is TRUE, which ONE is to blame?

1 John 4:4-6
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.

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

Are there ever times when we do find our person separated from the ONE we Love, yet NOT by way of our own CHOOSING?

Have you ever inquired of the Lord when John was in Prison why Jesus didn't go to visit John in physical form? Did the spirit of the Christ whom John had the privilege of ANNOUNCING visit John in ANY fashion?

I offer to you that He did! What did John receive back from Jesus? Mere words that were void or empty or words that were full of the same type of life that earned him the notoriety of being the Greatest Prophet known to mankind? That also being declared by WHOM?

What proof do you have some might ask? I invite you to examine more closely exactly what IT was those sent also SAW as PART of their testimony (report) given to JOHN.

Does the world dance around the ANSWERS it NEEDS? And what does the world say about solving problems as if somehow "Profound" studies have been conducted?

Don't be PART of the problem, INSTEAD be PART of the SOLUTION!

Matt 11:2-5
When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples to ask him, "Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?"

Jesus replied, "Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
NIV

And IF even the 'Elect" could be deceived, exactly HOW would You suggest their OWN deception would also PRESENT itself? And the origin of Your answer that ALSO finds its roots 'Where" exactly?

Is there something more that's missing that would otherwise SPEAK to the TRUE reason why TODAY many are HEARING yet are NOT able to SEE what it is they are ONLY merely hearing about? Namely the Kingdom of God that is also said of God to BE within WHOM?

Did Jesus SEND WORD to the SAME man who'd never physically SEEN The Christ prior to also BAPTIZING Jesus outside of the words He also BELIEVED to be TRUE that had been presented to him (John) by way of the Prophets whom preceded him (John)?

What do we usually discover when we do Drift Away from someone? Do we find that they've somehow changed over time? Do we also find that "We" too have somehow changed over time?

And the NET results of a HARDENED HEART that also catches WHO in their Lies is in WHOSE hands?

Those type of Lies supposedly ONLY self and those who are ALSO supposedly CLOSE to SELF are aware of?

I USED to chide with my wife whenever her emotions would lead her to the conclusion our "Relationship" was under going unfamiliar and unfriendly change(s).

I would ask her, "We're we NOT once madly in Love when we stood before God, men and his earth bound spokesman (preacher) when we took our Vows"?

She would more often than not would respond with, "Yes WE did"!

At which one of those POINTS does the ME truly RECONSIDER the WE in ANY household?

Is there an underlying message that requires being Mined in what Paul AS an Apostle attempts to MAKE available below?

2 Cor 12:9-10
9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
NIV

Exactly how many "I's" are there in the word TEAM?

Rom 15:5-13
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written:

"Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
I will sing hymns to your name." 

Again, it says,

"Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people." 

11 And again,

"Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and sing praises to him, all you peoples." 

12 And again, Isaiah says,

"The Root of Jesse will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
the Gentiles will hope in him." 

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
NIV
