In terms of a type of beauty in the eye of the beholder, who's to say what the struggle of a true life that's been lived looks like. sw
If it were believed that God does "Inhabit the Praise of HIS people" who would also hear what when they NEED to despite what the WHITE noise that is of THIS world is also trying to drowned out at the 'Same" time. sw
At what point does the "Power" of the type of thought "Life" and being "Rescued" appeal to the lowest of opinions in that "Christ" does live IN and Through You". sw
My children through the years have often accused me of "Being" weird. Was I ever offended by these type of words? Quite honestly it would have depended upon the proverbial "Type of mood" I was in during those moments.
Yet in terms of "Truthful Reflection" who's NOT asking what dominate part of my thought life that also resulted in the action taken also that helped (shape) "Set the Mood" of all those involved" within ANY of those scenario's? As well, through it all did the "Power" of forgiveness ever find opportunity to do a "Good Work" and to what end?
Whether your answer results in a "Yes or No" in terms of a good work within "Whomever" who is it that's NOT truthfully asking 'WHY" or why "NOT" about anything and everything? And without ceasing? And today not only who, but "How" how has "Prayer" unto One and the same God been "Framed" or is being Farmed Out? And as such while remembering exactly who we've believed also provides THE proverbial "Increase?
And those resulting type of thoughts (reflections) that will then prove to have been weighed against 'What" once IT all has been Said and Done?
And who today is waging an otherwise ASSUMED invisible war against a specific TYPE of confidence that also centers around "One Lord" and "Christ" (savior)?
Isa 45:19
I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness;
I have not said to Jacob's descendants, 'Seek me in vain. 'I, the LORD, speak the truth ;
I declare what is right. NIV
Luke 7:34-35
But wisdom is proved right by all her children."
NIV
Eph 3:8-13
Although I am less than the least of all God's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
NIV
Today where I also find my person, am I offended should I continue to hear those type of words aimed at me? If I'm also the ONLY one who can truthfully answer that question, simply put, "No"!
As if using the 'Easy Button" many would suggest those involved simply matured yet where would "Learning How to Cope" also find its opportunity? Meaning its rightful place in terms of truthfully "Identifying" the divine dynamics of what transpired?
I know people who use "Mind Altering" drugs/alcohol in order to somehow learn to 'Cope" (hide) with what they're really feeling inside, yet how much of what they're feeling in "The Seat" of their emotions as if also describing a throne of sorts? As if THE VOICE OF AUTHORITY?
Some might even try and describe this voice as the "Voice of Truth"?
And whose to say "What" "Just-as if" I or You were also somehow made able to find ourselves able to stand in such a 'Stead", Right? And truly what is the "Power" of "Reflection" if there were intended to be any in terms of becoming mature?
Is there truly a difference between an internal and an external "Voice" that's ALSO been heard?
As if a voice that has expressed a specific "Point of View" at any given moment? And who has truthfully considered the source of ANY of these type of "Voices" enough where they by way of consistency and patience have been taught how rely on the counsel this specific type of voice also provides?
And how does the proverbial "Course of time" that seemingly has "No Name" other than father time also "Prove" anything in this world WITHOUT there also being CERTAIN absolutes that play a role in our reasoning process?
To then attempt to somehow mysteriously find application as to exactly WHO it is that does saves us from such haunting thought Life?
And how hard does it prove to be in THIS WORLD to ask for the forgiveness of our own sins and also FIND that same healing forgiveness WITHOUT somehow TRYING to MAKE OTHERS feel the pain of OUR guilt?
AND as such without somehow POINTING AT what others are failing to SEE within themselves? As if the divine objective truly were the presentation and introduction to the "Prince of Peace"?
And who will the "Accuser" of the brethren prove to be when it's all BEEN SAID and DONE?
Ps 51:3-6
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.
Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
NIV
Instead of hearing SELF suggest aloud inside having bee trained, "Greater is He that is in ME than He who is IN THIS WORLD"? And TRULY what is the equipping of the SAINTS?
There are times when wisdom does speak and others hear only what they want to hear much like children, yet is that always the end of the Story?
How else can wisdom explain what is present yet "Unseen" in any given moment? And as such without having to try (borrow from) and mention what is obscured in terms of THINGS?
Phil 3:15-16
All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. NIV
And how does (carnal) wisdom that is Of this world help confuse such a divine reliance? Circles some continue to choose to stay in such as the conditional LOOP of "Psychology"? The metaphoric image that looks just like the visual analogy of an "Oval Race Track"?
And who is it that INSIST the word CARNAL also means devilish instead of IMMATURITY? Especially when the results of either look much the same in the eyes of the Beholder who IS surveying mankind?
I know individuals who use many twisted forms of addictions which more than suggest their personal method of 'Blowing Off" steam in "Private"?
Why in Private though? Especially when one claims to know what seems to thrive in the Dark and what is exposed when brought OUT into the Light of all that is "True"? And who beyond SELF could ever HOPE to benefit from such another mans confrontations with evil? Who's to say, "Right"?
Especially if some do NOT FEEL SAFE in doing so in an ocean of MIXED opinions, yet more importantly why NOT?
Just think today if the question of infidelity could be solved by way compelling of having to "Drink Bitter waters'? Not to mention the safe place of righteousness where two men could go before God and state aloud, "Let God Judge between Us" as if both truly were claiming to be "Believers"?
The sad part, would it prove to be how these type of divine dealings between those who are opposed would then be "Interpreted" within the democratic mindset of those who also sit as witnesses of same? This same type of poser that seems to Dominate the decisions made of many?
To then think what falling into the "Hands of Men" looks like today? And how does each look to protect him SELF and how far is he willing to go in order to somehow PROVE God to be RIGHT?
Rom 3:3-4
What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness? 4 Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar. As it is written:
"So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge."
NIV
Told to pray for them yet on the back side of such great COUNSEL they assumed they also provided? And how many over look what God had ALREADY spoken of Job at the beginning of the Story OF JOB?
Job 1:1
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
KJV
If life were only the matter of "Somehow" getting 'Past" some "Type" of emotional hurt verses truly having been healed of these type of hurts exactly "How Many RIGHTEOUS Ways" are there?
Especially if the risk involved (focal point) proved to be finding a way to somehow avoid being exposed a second time to the same type of hurt in the future?
Rugs put down were intended to cover cold floors and after the fact blemishes instead of well known COMMON problems that could be dealt with during NEW CONSTRUCTION?
2 Cor 5:17-21
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation ; the old has gone, the new has come!
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them.
And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. NIV
Is the standard of "Maturity" the same as learning how to "Survive" by any necessary means in a specific type of environment as many might suggest?
Does the thoughts of having developed coping skills interpret the same as having "Matured?
And who today as if "The Day of Our salvation" is NOT teaching and WHY about the importance of being possessed by the Mind of Christ?
To then try and somehow divinely (seriously) discuss the issue that center around the type of thoughts "As Compared To"?
And how compelling is the said, "Sense of Need'?
Heb 8:10-12
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God, and they will be my people.
No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,'
because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."NIV
To even hope to get the answer to that question RIGHT without also "Knowing" what the standard of measure is in terms of 'As compared to", who's deciding 'What" in this world and much of that as if ALONE?
Not to mention those who suggest they've also found eternally meaningful value in all that THEY have gleaned from the Mind of Christ? Enough that is to where THEY feel safe enough in passing along of these type of to someone other than self?
As if having STRUCK a vein of GOLD?
As we each mature in Christ how important has the maintenance of our relationships then become as we anxiously share in what the Lord has revealed through Each? As if we (man) is part of all that God created through which He also reveals His person? And as such so that all men are without the excuse of NOT knowing the Lord?
Have you ever challenged what the difference is between a something that's considered to be a 'Thing" verses a Type of spirit you also can't "See or Name"?
Why not throw some paint on some of these otherwise mysteriously invisible THINGS and give them a ACCURATE "Name"? I once read where many spirits had at least One Name (Legion).
As well a reverse perspective where some knew not only who Jesus was but also Paul by "Name" (see the biblical episode of the 7 sons of sceva)
I know whenever I've rightfully entered any "Type" of conversation and there are also times when I only hear my name mentioned, yet the question remains who is it that also speaking on my behalf in any type of context. sw
If you are also one who has raised more than One or many children under the same roof, I'm willing to bet there are still Ghost and Goblins who haunt the hallways of your memories as to WHO did WHAT right under your nose as a parent? But I digress....
There are portions of this world that are devolving into a state where 'Who's To say what is Right" has not only become the mantra that also seems to be ruling the lives of many, but maybe more pointedly the hiding place of "Choice" where 'Self" tries to hides the more "Telling" details.
The type details that can ONLY speak what is True even if it means to our own hurt!
I've met quite a few 30-80 year old babies over the years? Some wear their feelings on their sleeves and others as if a Badge of authority. Others who care more about what others "Think they See" rather than esteeming more highly what is True.
To include both male and female types. I also don't eat fruit that's NOT ...."Ripe" for reason of "Taste"!...Just saying
For what it's worth today, I usually hear my mouth responding to my (gods) children, I prefer "Misunderstood" rather than "Weird" but ONLY if we can agree your also attaching a label to the someone who loves you!
Some might ask where were those type of words years ago, whereas some want to hear more finite details in terms of "What Changed" in terms of a "Notable Difference"?
And who can speak on behalf of a type of wisdom that came at a price verses someone who saw the need to keep pursuing same?
Almost as if trying to internally discuss two separate types of Fathers?
Is there a difference between what a Good Father truly is and the widely accepted (as if proverbial) "Father Time" who supposedly also heals every type of wound? And where does the seat of our emotions begin or end? And to what are either also attached to?
If you ever want to talk about a type of marriage that's destined to go "Nowhere" or delve into some seriously confused theology, try and ask this question sometime, "What type of children do you get when Father time marry's Mother earth?
I'm sure in the arena of divorce it's been asked many times "What's the difference between a sperm donor and a Good Father? And when talking in the harsh circle of spousal debates the difference between a part time or full time Father?
And how does "Knowledge" play out in the instances where a father or mother unexpectedly leaves this world for whatever reason? What turns OUT to be the true reason ANY child also turns Out the "WAY they do?
In this world, how much CREDIT is either being taken and/or assumed given to either parent, without first having Considered exactly WHO and WHAT a Good Father is and does?
In terms Godly (God Like) counsel and preparation's made, have you ever deeply considered WHY words such as "Call no man on earth your Father" could prove to be beneficial within ANY of the above scenario's?
Prove to be beneficial, yet "beneficial to whom"? Beneficial to also suggest somehow ultimately also "Serving" you or I?
I know, I Know You and I are both blessed beyond measure"Right", but what about those who are being considered otherwise as if NOT so blessed?
To then try and square the type of teaching which suggest as if beyond doubt the son will NOT suffer from the Sins of their Father's?
Which is better in this world, Knowing what is TRUE or surrounding "Self" with a multitude of differing types of life governing "Doctrine"?
The type of choices made that have come by way of doctrine that will ONLY get you through a moment of time instead of Life that's "Everlasting"
In terms of a mans lineage (identity), is there a difference between a child who's been sired after said parents have been "Born Again and that of God" versus the entire biological (Type of lineage) process mankind so easily accepts and "Why"?
Or is it possible either type of child sired could just as easily suffer the same results in terms of "Lack of Knowledge"?
Trust me when I say I know nothing more than you do, but with the added caveat as it pertains to the time of Testing Only God can provide and make known for ALL that it is TRULY worth!
How much of a mans perspective also depends upon who's on Trial? To then truly consider the One who's been offended?
Is it possible God could ever be placed on "Trial"? Either way you answer, if Yes on trial for what "REASON"? And if you answered "NO", who told you so?
If there be any REAL hard part for you and I in this world will the hard part prove to be that we get to listen to whomever we want whenever we want? Or that we also get to choose whose speaking 'WHAT" in any moment to then try as if to somehow determine which moments God has also Given??
Heb 3:7-11
"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion,
during the time of testing in the desert, where your fathers tested and tried me
and for forty years saw what I did.
That is why I was angry with that generation,
and I said, 'Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.'
So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.'"
NIV
And since we've all matured so well, 'Exactly what is Impossible with man if there were ever to BE a type of question Only the Lord can truthfully reply?
What will come of any man that has refused to examine the fullness of what God considers to "Be" His glory?
Is the author the Apostle Paul also the ONLY one who received the Holy Spirit? And IF it is only the Holy Spirit who can testify, who's to truly say not only what in this world but who in this world have you chosen to "Believe" about anything and WHY?
Even if a man were the only man in this world, how few voices does each have within? Does the body alone speak in any given moment? Does the mind of the SOUL speak alone? And what of the spirit with a man? Who has each yielded to as if each moment does Count?
In terms of the glass half full or empty, what if it were clearly understood God does does stand the risk of being of Zero affect, yet who's the ONE that's also accepting such a risk?
Is there such a thing as a spiritual "Gambler" who also wins in the end?
Rom 9:1
I speak the truth in Christ — I am not lying, my conscience confirms it in the Holy Spirit
NIV
And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth .
NIV
Rom 8:16-17
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
NIV
John 4:24
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.
NIV
Discussing what is True as if discussing who God is?
Ps 145:18
The LORD is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth .
NIV
1 John 3:18
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth .
NIV
Ps 26:2-12
Test me , O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.
I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I consort with hypocrites;
I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, O LORD, proclaiming aloud your praise
and telling of all your wonderful deeds. I love the house where you live, O LORD,
the place where your glory dwells.
Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men,
in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
But I lead a blameless life; redeem me and be merciful to me.
My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the LORD.
NIV
