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

Juxtaposed

Have you ever heard someone considered close to you remind you of something you've assumed you already knew ALL there is to "Know" about?

As if subject matter that's been signed, sealed delivered and permanently logged into your "Undeniable" and reliable knowledge base?

That same trusted ledger that's also been reconciled countless times that never seems to forget the additional layer of insulation all those other trusted opinions we've surrounded ourselves with helped validate?

And who can find the value that God has invested in words such as "Let God be True and every man a Liar" if the person of God is NOT well KNOWN in ALL that Has and DOES say?

Have you ever been asked, Is God Silent outside of the words "Man-kind" has somehow "Framed"?

In terms of the proverbial analogy of "Fruit" Christians are always tossing around how many would you suggest are willing to put that analogy to the "Test"?

Many people have "Family" pictures set in frames and have those same (valued) pictures on FULL display maybe on their "Mantle" or entrance table "Guest" get to walk past in their home.

Consider this though in terms of a litmus test for someone who's also prides themselves on being an effectual "Communicator".

If You have kids, try this sometime, Task the child with painting a "Picture of God" and despite what "You" think YOU see frame that same picture and place it among your Family Photo's and LEAVE it there!

Each time you pass by that "Picture Of God" YOUR child painted based on what THEY know to be True and try to put on your "Helmet" of hope as if YOUR salvation when You do?

With each passing year, continue to ask yourself, "I wonder what that picture would look like today if  I were to find the courage to have this child draw an "updated" version?

Is that the right perspective though?

What if you were to think on that scenario this way?

What if you ask that child to paint a picture of themselves the way YOUR child assumes they're seen in "God's Eyes"? To then honestly weigh the thoughts which suggest EVERYTHING in this world and Heaven above belongs to WHO?

And if ownership required more than a certificate would possession prove to be the sufficient evidence that only weighs in 9/10 of the LAW?

In terms of accountability, Who's "Framing" who in this Life? As if that frame "Work" has now become the narrative that does explain away the otherwise comparative NATURE of what many are also TRYING to SEE as if FOR  themselves?

To then hear that one lead in word (why) from that same voice you "Want" desperately to trust, "Why are they telling me this again"?

Did Jesus have a history of doing or saying things aloud that were NOT for His own sake? And what about you and I? How much of everything that does come from Our mouths truly is for Our own benefit?

What value is there in being able to see ANY type of picture in its 'Exploded View" without also knowing what you're looking for? Especially if it's 'Believed" only the devil is in the details in a world where "Contrast" has SEEMINGLY also lost its Voice?

Wouldn't it depend upon what a person is Trying to 'SEE"?

Here's a word picture below to "Observe", yet if the 'Same Way" is what you're wanting to see more clearly, to what do we compare that "Way" to?

I hear many people suggest WWJD as if a powerful analogy or word picture, but (if you can allow it to be asked of You) how does "segmenting" the person of Jesus somehow Hinder what aspect of His person you or I are also ABLE to somehow successfully "Walk, Talk and or DO" that same way?

And who's NOT asking, "How is it even POSSIBLE without His POWER being seen at work within our own person?

What is it about  ANYONE'S person that's makes it hard or difficult to mimic or duplicate? Especially so whenever someone begins to pick APART (dissect) that SAME personage in advance?

Are CHRISTIANS picking APART the person of JESUS as the CHRIST....OR are Christians in SELF destruct mode finding out they have need of picking not only themselves apart but others around them as well?

If you don't have an answer, I would suggest studying the warfare tactics a the "Sniper"? The type of warrior who Not only clearly understands, but has been Trained to DO. His type of training that is not only about accomplishing His mission but also about HOW to consider His opposition while in the Field?

What might the analogy appear as of a type person who only reads as if "Looking through a drinking straw"?

We hear people say, "You only hear what You want to Hear' as if closed Minded, yet how does that compare to the multifaceted suggestion as if the "One fits ALL" type of required response(s) needed to BE a victorious in this Life, "WWJD"?

And what does the label (Title) of a CHRISTIAN suggest if NOT ...CHRIST LIKE?

1 Peter 3:7
Husbands , in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. 
NIV

Airing it all out on a lighter note, I saw this hand written not on the back window of a CAR this morning. The person had hand written in relatively normal sized letters, "Do you follow JESUS this close"?

Short, sweet yet STRAIGHT to the POINT and on many different levels, Right?

John 21:25
Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
NIV

Luke 9:12-13

12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here."

13 He replied, "You give them something to eat ."
NIV

Philem 4-7

4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,

5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
