The Plant (Part II)

I used to think that people who rejected  "My personal" perspective of God were simply mad at God for some undisclosed reason.  In turn I would simply choose NOT to take their hostility seemingly being aimed towards me as an offense and would simply "Move on" to higher ground.

Then one day the thought hit me, were those who killed Jesus truly "Mad" at the person of Jesus OR were they willing to kill "Anyone" who posed a threat to whatever it was they "Assumed" they were protecting?

Obviously the religious "Steering Committee" during His visitation couldn't deny the Miracles Jesus conducted because too many other people witnessed those same events. The type of events that could NOT be easily EXPLAINED away or easily refuted...

Have you ever asked "Yourself" why the "Hearts" of the religious leaders of that time were personally "Hardened" towards the person of Jesus? Whom the bible says is/was "The exact representation of God"? To then ask the same thing of men who were also made in Gods Likeness who "Poorly" represented God then and Now? 

It's too easy to suggest that if "You and I" were the leaders of that time, we would NOT have done the same thing because we do love WHO His person represents today? In that knowing Jesus died  for the Sins of ALL mankind since the Beginning? Who today would still be just as guilty based ONLY upon what God knows to be True about ALL Mankind and just as equal on an individual basis?

Why exactly is it so important to know certain things not only this life require some a type of time line? And if some refuse to hear and accept the Lamb of God was slain BEFORE the earth was formed, truly what has any man believed beyond that single REALITY and under the clears terms of all that eternity is?

Is prophecy Today any different than ALL it was back then? Prophecy being defined ONLY by what has come from the Mouth of God? Have you ever inquired of God, "What it was that made the three 'Wise Men" who ventured to go and find the man child Jesus in a manger also "Wise" enough to earn the title?

James 2:10-11
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. NIV

In terms of the full scope of eternity, what happens whenever a person toys with the concept(s) that are lead by the type of thoughts which suggest the times as if "That was then and this is Now"? And exactly what is 'Worldly point of View"?

In terms of being a brothers keeper, Jesus coming to His own and His own NOT receiving Him, at what point did they make the word of God void in their understanding? Void based on the Traditions and Doctrines people not only found acceptable but BELIEVED at that TIME?

If Jesus' visitation were today, who do you think would be more upset with the DELIVERY of His good news unto ALL mankind? The church establishment or our appointed POLITICIAN'S? Which of those two agenda's would you suppose would be more disrupted because of His message while trying to find a way to "Accommodate" and accept the reality of the claims Christ Made?  

Should the question should be "Who best defines a Politician" or "Whose "People" are we attempting to discuss being in need of "Governing"? Especially when we also understand a Politician governs by way of the will of the people and the saints of the Most High are supposed to be governed by who If not God and all that He says whether then or NOW?

 Was it because the "Savior" (Messiah) they had envisioned arriving was also based on what the majority elected to "Believe" was NOTHING like the Man Jesus The Christ they were momentarily being FACED with? Basically, they didn't 'See" this One coming in the shape, form, fashion and capacity in which Christ did Manifest His person? 

Do believers in Christ today Truly realize "How" they've postured themselves whenever "Asking"  (uninvited)  someone  if "They" can pray FOR them? Why NOT spend the eternal value of  time and energy God has and is investing in the saints in them somehow also being "Prepared"? 

What happens when no one does ask ALL the right questions? Questions such as, saints being "Prepared" yet being prepared for what? And what happens whenever anyone has NOT been prepared? for when those who are outside of Christ DO come and ASK for the eternal benefit of the prayers of the "Sons Of God"?

And what does a person today verses a Righteous person today make of a man like Job being TOLD of god to go and Pray for his three Friends? Job whom God says was what? A righteous man? And exactly what makes any man in the sight of God Righteous today or on ANY God given Day based on Time Line that includes The Lamb that was slain BEFORE the World was Formed?

Was it because of the LAW given unto men by way of Moses Jesus was physically slain in terms of timing? Was Jesus Slain before the earth was formed or NOT based on what Christianity Preaches Today? Was Abraham who God says is the FATHER of our faith today considered Righteous during his time on earth that was also Before the physical coming of Christ? What does God say as to why Abraham was considered Righteous in His sight?

Because he (Abraham) did believe God? And what does God say about Jesus as if Himself? Believe in Him (Christ) and the ONE who SENT HIM? Exactly who has sent those who DO believe God Today and why have those who have been sent today have need being "Believed"?

Exactly WHY would anyone NOT be believable today who testifies concerning the COMING of Christ whether back then, Now and/or at some point in the Future tense?

And what would the truthful expectations of any civil minded people be for a One Man S.W.A.T team who was sent into a hostile environment "Unequipped"? Sent in with no real Intel, badge, gun, shield, helmet or body armor? The type of environment where there is rarely any visible evidence of a threat that's also REAL?

And to honestly think an otherwise invisible enemy can be confronted with tangible weaponry? Is it true there is "NO MUTUAL ENEMY' simply because the enemy can't be seen with the natural eyes? And If a person is BLIND today, exactly what are they NOT able to SEE and WHY?

How would You and I evaluate a Hospital that only temporarily stabilized a patient brought in without curing them? Never fixing the underlying ailment and only throwing aspirin, ointment and band aids at the underlying and deadly Wound? 

I think every major city has one of these type of Hospitals where someone who's fatally wounded would never want to wake up and find themselves there! Those same Hospitals where a person might come in with ONE ailment yet die of something totally different that was brought in by someone else? Maybe a STAFF infection? (Pun intended)

Exactly what is a Doctor declaring when one says, "There is NOTHING more We know to do"? Exactly who is the we and exactly how many people (Bodies) actually pass away "IN the Hospital" as if there is NOTHING More having reached the LIMITS of what's Believable?

Please don't hear what I'm NOT saying because I Do believe Doctors also serves humanity in a certain capacity as does everyone. However they too can only do what they've been trained to do with NEW discoveries periodically being made, yet Gods' will being ALL that it is or NOT, who can also fight against it and WIN as well WHO gets the Glory when they Do? Modern Medicine or God?

This Blog is NOT about MODERN medicine or doctors, no instead it's about MODERN DAY Irony and the Ambiguity of BELIEVERS In Christ and our fundamental belief protocol many supposedly SHARE! All of what's been shared as if many have (Believed) AGREED with God......Have you ever visualized trying to FIGHT through a crowd in order to GAIN ACCESS to what You want or desperately NEED? And if that crowd is the ONLY thing that stands in the WAY? Is there more realistic (TRUE) reason as to WHY the OCEAN of cars seem to PART as did the RED SEA when an AMBULANCE comes screaming up from Behind US?

Is there any value today when reading about "Roofs" being torn away so that a sick body can be lowered into the presence of a MAN of God who does BELIEVE what God has told him? Does such a man have any type of gift from God who does NOT believe GOD? And if every thing that does come from God also requires a specific type of FAITH that also comes from God as a Gift, exactly what would any TRUE assessment conclude when comparing NOW and THEN?

Does humanity try and force (DOUBT AND UNBELIEF) what he does refuses to believe TODAY into the same type of jars of clay that were also present back then? Or vice Versa? Especially if it's been agreed upon God is NOT WILLING TODAY for some unknown REASON? And why would GOD also suggest, "Come", and Let US reason TOGETHER"? Which might also ride the hem of the declaration GOD also made which more than suggest concerning FAITH....."Let God Be True and Every Man a Liar"?

And who is UP to such a task if NOT Lead by the spirit and Mind of Christ? What does this picture also look like?

ALL of Your Heart, ALL of Your Soul, ALL of You Mind and ALL of Your Strength? Falling "short"? And exactly what is the Limits and Limitation of ALL that Imperfection is in the sight of God whether Individually or Corporately speaking? Who's quit pursuing ALL that God says he is willing to do and that because the crowd is in the WAY?

Is this type of Doctor who has done all they know to do also expressing the limits of what they and others on staff KNOW? And what they hope to do based also upon what THEY too believe to be TRUE?

What about a SWAT Unit sent in only to find themselves confronted by Dysfunctional individuals who are BEING compelled by thoughts, emotions or whatever it is we try to label theses otherwise invisible type of influences?

And what is the purpose and intentions of God if not the "Revelation of the Sons of God"? And the "Type" of dispensation those sons have also in advance been prepared, designed for and with the intent that has also come from "Who"?

Did Jesus heal or pray for individuals unless they'd gone to Him and "Specifically" requested His  intervention/interaction in a divine "capacity"? Exactly what did Jesus have access to others didn't?

To what end does praying for everything but the salvation (reconciliation) of ones soul accomplish, in terms of gaining the world only to loose ones soul? Exactly how important was the discernment of Christ whenever we do see people coming to him in need? 

The fact that He did know by way of discernment not only what was being asked of him when they did come to Him, but more importantly "exactly" what was it that Jesus had access to that drew them to Him?

What value is there in being considered righteous in the SIGHT OF GOD is there while in This World? Is it ALL about the Individuals confidence in God or SHOULD it at some point be the unselfish consideration of a CHILD of God who has taken ownership of their True Identity that ONLY Christ can "Unviel"?

What do you suppose would manifest if those who do SEE a believer as though someone considered to BE righteous in the SIGHT of God? As if placing a sense of Trust in someone who's considered to Be In Christ?  As if a separated soul who's trying to look into the Kingdom of God from the "Outside"?

Is there a TRUE reason why the supposed Outsiders refuse to acknowledge the Disciple's OF CHRIST today for WHO they ARE in the sight of God? The same Disciple's whose lives look much like the rest of the world?

I personally don't see Christians being hated or persecuted today because they DO reflect Jesus and His type of authority within the Spiritual Realm. Why? Because the Spiritual realm has NOT been recognized for ALL that it is According to WHAT the God Given Authority of Christ was intended to tear down.

Simply put, God who is SPIRIT is primarily being recognized today as The God who is In Heaven who's merely a part time convenient after thought when all else has failed under the premise of what each has chosen to date to believe to be true about GOD....

Think on it this way if there ARE NO DEMONS (Spiritual Enemies of God) or spiritual activity in this world, who would SEE it as if a NEED for DIVINE WEAPONRY that ONLY God can make available?

Exactly how is ANYONE somehow SEEN as if a threat if the threat has NOT been clearly defined?

Is there a true reason why the prayers of Anyone are NOT seen as reaching beyond the ceiling? Why do most supposedly "Unanswered prayers" get categorically denied for their results? The type of results that also agree with "What" as well "Who" said what about prayers that get zero results? Is it possible a persons prayers can be "Hindered"? If 'yes" prayers that are hindered for what reason(s)?

Unanswered prayers because of wrong Motives when asking? Prayers that are ignored because of Strife and contentions between those who can't seem to agree? The same request from those who are willing to agree to disagree with each other in the presence of God having also believed they've entered the throne room of Grace?

Prayers that are opposed not only by their very nature, but possibly the type of prayers that are in direct opposition to the Living Will of God? At what point does Ignorance in the sight of God convert and/or interpret as though doubt and unbelief? Is it one thing to pray as a small child unto God and pray as if One who has been brought to Maturity in Christ? If you have children of your own try and apply that same principle to the request of children at an early age verses the adult oriented request made of a young adult  who is still seen as immature?

What of those who try and operate outside of the foundational principles of all that God says faith in Him yields? Surely at some point the testing of ones faith will no longer yield child like results in terms of an Increase of ones Faith (Trust) aimed towards God? No more than would someone who has been told otherwise and who HONESTLY hopes to go from 1st grade and successfully enter the economy and ranking of those who've prepared for their PhD in whatever?

John 17:15
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. NIV

Why exactly have Believers in Christ been instructed to 'Make the words of God Attractive"?

How easy is to ONLY see the parts of Gods word which suggest the WHOLE WORLD has and WILL be saved, yet when it's convenient the same ones will IGNORE who Jesus said He did NOT pray for in terms of the "World'?

Exactly who are the THEY Jesus protects from the evil ONE? Exactly how do the "THEY" know with certainty the one who faithfully delivered the ENTIRETY of the word God sent to them also came from the person of Christ and NOT someone else?

What would someone ASSUME if if they knew their displaced spouse in some far away place was sent a Five page letter, yet they Only responded as though only Three of those pages arrived?

John 17:8-10
They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world , but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. NIV

Exactly what type of a divine reward could a righteous man Possibly have in his/her possession that someone might otherwise be in NEED of? Confidence? Trust? Yet either one because of WHAT and WHO? One mans Faith having been tested and another whose faith has yet to be tried?

How much more refreshing might a sinner proved to have been RIGHT all along without the need for repentance for having failed to see the things that are of God in this world as does the Lord? To then honestly weigh the words which clearly state 'Those who are LEAD by the spirit of God ARE THE SONS OF GOD?

To then truthfully reflect on our own words of assessment whenever we approach someone with a specific topic such as God or praying unto God on their otherwise perfected behalf to then realize WHAT? Neither Knows Gods perfect and pleasing WILL well enough to ask of Him along those same Proverbial Lines?

Eph 2:14-18

For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. 

His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.  NIV

Whereas today I also believe that The One True God who is "Lord and Savior of all mankind" has been 'Misrepresented" in so many different fashions it's no "Real" wonder as to "Why" conversation about God are as though listening to some "One" as if hearing from two different people or maybe a " Bi-polar" personage who's speaking. 

"Who" exactly is being suggested is also effectually communicating whenever any two people reach the moronic impasse which suggest the two people will "Agree to DIS-agree? Only then to HONESTLY try and reflect on what Jesus said about His presence which does MANIFEST in the midst of those who DO agree?

 Here's where many go astray when they see the word ANYTHING you ask for. God also says in another location asked for in "Accordance with Whose Will"? The type of speech which also agree's with personal prayers such as "Your (Gods) WILL be done here on earth as it IS in Heaven"?

How then can a person submit their prayers unto God with any real EXPECTATION for things on earth to somehow shadow Gods will being done in Heaven? Especially if what takes place in Heaven is ONE BIG MYSTERY that has everything to DO with the WILL OF GOD? The only difference being a physical address that's been overly "Emphasized"?

Apparently Jesus didn't just say it once, right? Why else would He have need of "Deploying" the word "AGAIN"?

Matt 18:19-20
"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."  NIV

Is there a TRUE reason not only WHY a person could be MAD at God but when even further looking into such an emotion where someone somehow makes an ASSUMED well INFORMED decision to remain MAD at the Lord of heaven and earth because of ALL that He has NOT done for us?

Contrary to popular analogies God is Not an ONION whose layers are peeled back one layer at a time despite Him having created the Onion nor is He the one whose in a Proverbial Box many like to try and Gift wrap as though He is. 

No that would be more fitting to suggest of you and I whenever we have reached a "Pre-Mature" conclusion(s) about ALL that He is AS God and Eternal Rabbi and Teacher! Amen....

Authority to Speak

When wisdom speaks who's to say it's truly been Heard? Heard only for the sake of "Why" it chose to speak. sw

What exactly displaces wisdom once wisdom no longer rules the House or the Kingdom that since been brought into "Question"? As such without a clear understanding of every participant knowing beyond "Doubt or Ignorance" as to why the source of anything is said to be valued or NOT. sw

Prov 20:15
Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. NIV

Who decides when wisdom has spoken out of Love? The one speaking or the hearer? To then try and comprehend  why anyone will make the choice to argue for or against the understanding that expresses itself as if it is known that, "God is Love". sw

What happens whenever someone's heart is said to have been "Hardened"? Have you ever considered what a hardened Heart is NOT able to hear and WHY? Is it a separate matter when something is said to have dulled our senses to then never truly reach the conclusion as to "Why"?

How important is it to also Know the person as if the type Author of ANY spoken words? What is the difference between meaningful words and spoken words that are also considered by the hearer to be EMPTY words that have been spoken for some "Unknown" reason?

There's a saying among those who also struggle to become well known or better writers within the RANKS of said published authors and that is to, "Know Your Audience"!

At what point does the listening audience also "Adopt" this same type of mindset yet in the reverse ORDER? Hence, take time to Know the Author of the words we do accept as though "All True"? Revered and or highly esteemed type of words who's guiding Tone we then choose to FOLLOW? Often times Blindly and as such because we've failed to QUESTION who exactly GAVE the author the Authority to Speak such words as though ALL True or In Agreement with the SOURCE?

Would you accept the advice of a paid "Medium"? One who conjures spirits from who KNOWS from where? Who gets to CHOOSE whose NEWS network is also BROADCASTING what is TRUE? And who IN THIS world is it that also trying to determine what IN THIS world is also TRUE in any GOD Given moment?

And if such a gift can ONLY come from God, what type of foolishness is it where ANY man then assumes he can somehow manufacture ANYTHING that can ONLY be imparted by WAY of the spirit of God? As if to clearly understand something that's NOT of this world and because it is NOT of this world..... ONLY God can provide same?

Have you ever deeply considered exactly WHY it would be impossible for the Creator of ALL things to somehow LIE? WHY exactly everything He as Creator, God, Progenitor and SAVIOR would have within his person as if motive to lie to those He is also to have SAID....He LOVES?

How easy is it to simply suggest "It is what IT is" in ANY situation beyond your control without FIRST truthfully reminding our SELF that was God who said "GOD IS LOVE" and it was Gods Only Son who came and died in ORDER to prove the Spirit (essence) of those same words?

2 Cor 5:16-19
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

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. NIV

What exactly can and does take the proverbial "Place" if it is always someone else's Son or SOME one else's Money who always seems to be going off to battle only to end up dying and their resources which pay Our OWN indebtedness? Where does the value of a vicarious mindset somehow disappear to when once the heart somehow Mysteriously does become Hardened?

Exactly how many TRUE mysteries are there in this world?

Exactly how long and rigorous is the journey to where we Do find out or "Figure" ourselves out as if there is a mental Picture of "Self" being painted for a GOOD reason? The image of self we somehow Hope the world around comes to understand? The type of image that accurately depicts and hopefully explains the elusive nature and outward expressions of the proverbial "Self"? What has your own self "Image" also produced in You without FIRST asking what has God produced in and through the type of person that ONLY belongs to and is ONLY loyal to all that YOU have Become to date?

How much of what You have become to date is also the DIRECT results of ONLY what God has done in YOU? And at what point does self look to Claim the NET results and WHY? What does it truly mean when a person suggest they've CAUGHT themselves or someone else doing something SPECIFIC? Something that can be considered specific without asking Done for whose SAKE?

And if the direct results of being unable to hear "From" some ONE other than our Self were intended to prove all that the eyes are unable to see? Who then has allowed Self to be judged as though "Blind"? What expectation that are also considered to be "Trustworthy" 24/7 could then be asked of our Self? Especially if SELF is the ONLY one being asked if SELF can be trusted 24/7?

Just think, that if the burden of wanted to be trusted could somehow be placed on others on a regular basis, how many people will ALWAYS Trust their OWN person (Self) over and above ALL other personalities that were also intended of God to BE active participants in THIS WORLD?

Would this perspective somehow alter or change the type of words God has set before ALL who've also made the choice to ACCEPT as though TRUE, that ALL have sinned and fallen SHORT of what HIS glory? Exactly WHO is NOT asking what God's Glory was "Originally" intended to BE on the other side of a conversation also spoken and heard for ALL it was intended to PRODUCE?  Let Us make MAN in our own IMAGE? Exactly WHO's point of view is the author speaking FROM?

Intended to PRODUCE, yet by way of WHOSE authority? And if a specific AUTHORITY has proven to have IGNORED this type of Authority, who then would it seem to YOU has somehow withdrawn or chosen NOT to accept this same AUTHORity?

How many people agree with or follow others because of what they believe others have seen? The same could be asked as to Why self chooses NOT to follow others or the advice of others? Who has seen the Glory of God without first having learned how to Trust and/or "Believe" the words of God that do go forth in order to somehow mysteriously reveal His glory?

And should God also remain One Big Mystery?

Exactly what does seem to Mysteriously take up residency should self or God continue to remain a Mystery as if somehow separated or as though worlds "Apart"?

John 17:2-5
Now this is eternal life : that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. 
NIV

Many claim others don't know what's on a mans mind or in his heart at any given moment. How then can a person reach the conclusion someone has spoken from the "Heart"?

Feelings, exactly how far can they take you once swept off your feet? Who can find their way back to all that Love is and does without the Truth. sw

Is authority always escorted by a certain "Tone"? What about the type of wisdom that comes from the mouth of a "Babe" or should God appoint a donkey to speak to a stubborn Prophet?

Exactly whose heart is also Gods "Wheel House"? The same wheel house from where a tiny rudder such as the "tongue" manages to steer a vessel of God to an appointed place in time. sw

Contrary to what some would have others to believe "True Life" is NOT full of disappointments. True Life is only full of what The Lord has chosen that will continue to exist in His Sight throughout the remainder of eternity. sw

All men presently stand in the sight of God. The same men who stand beneath the same sun, moon and stars yet not all men have accepted the "Covering" of the blood stained hem of the Royal Robe Christ has adorned. sw

When the wrath of God does come to devour everything that has attempted to suppress what is otherwise True, who then will be seen for who they are in Gods sight beneath the shadow of Gods Wings. sw

At what point does a person decide God is either in Control of all things or that He as God is selective in His favor shown. sw

When wisdom is understood to be standing near by and at nearly every turn, who walks on by. sw

Who decides how many times wisdom knocks before the door is opened without knowing when and why a mans time has ran out. sw

Is true authority given, taken, acknowledged  or well received. sw

Is there a reason why decisions made are often full of surprises? And who gets to decide which ones are the gifts given of God unto men. sw 

What has been given unto any nation that was not first given of God unto the Church who are the people of God. sw

Do You doubt what any man says? Do You doubt the power of Prayer? Who then has any real hope. sw

Eph 3:7-21
I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power. 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, 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.

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge — that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

NIV

Rev 2:26-29
To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— 

'He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery'- just as I have received authority from my Father. 

I will also give him the morning star. 

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 

NIV

Who knows what to do with a "Gift From God"

"If a kingdom were somehow measured by a "Ruler" how large would any Kingdom prove to be based on the Authority, Knowledge, the Love of and for the King". sw

What is the difference between being Fatherless and having a Father you refuse to listen to? To then suggest Wisdom has value. sw

What would the Kingdom of God look like in the earth if the "Imagination" of its people were to see interaction with others as the opportunity to parade before the Lord what they too have learned directly from Him. sw

In terms of building something that will last and building on shifting sands, exactly how many things a person does in life as if the results of their decisions made are also spiritually founded? Exactly where would the dividing line "Prove" to be between the natural and the spiritual and what type of battles are fought in either realm?

What if a man were to understand "In View of Gods Mercy" was intended to interpret as "In the sight of God" in his present state of mind? And the wrath of God that is said of God to be 'coming" should "Then" be seen as what" in terms of advance notice of same and present "Opportunity" found during the season of His Mercy Shown?

Under the clear terms of the scheme of things to come only God has orchestrated, who would YOU suggest needs to CHANGE their mind with regard to their own "Expected End"? Especially when a person weighs what their carnal desires more often refer to as a "Happy Ending" while interacting with either gender of the human species?

And a bride who defiles herself where might these type of thoughts also stem from ? And if a bride were to truthfully consider Christ as if a child who has yet to be completely formed within her and future decisions made once knowing she is with child? To then consider why temporal minds tend to grapple with and fall short of a life sustaining "Pro-life" mindset?

Exactly how lofty of a type of thought which does maintain and believe the concept of Christ In You"? Was The Apostle Paul as if a type of Spiritual father simply a man without vision and understanding when using such "Metaphors"?

Gal 4:19-20
My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you , 20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
NIV

Who above others among MANKIND as though meaningful teacher(s) should understand better about being with "Child' and Christ being formed within having been conceived by way of the Holy Spirit? And if all the above were ONLY being seen from a WORLDLY point of View as we ONCE did Christ?

Jer 29:11-14
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile."
NIV

Rom 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship. 2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.
NIV

If a man in his physically oriented state of mind assumes he is of age goes looking for love, where's the first place most men look? And if the same question were asked of a woman?

To then suggest the Animal Kingdom and the Kingdom of God have been seen for all that does divide the two in the Sight of God? Exactly who in this world is helping decide and define by way of their actions the differences between the two? The answer to that question as if also asking who's participating in the establishment of a standard of  "Measure"?

Have you ever considered why there there is an Animal Kingdom, the Kingdom of God and then there is mankind who who has no clearly labeled "Kingdom"? Mankind who claims to have "Reasoning Ability" who has been handed the freedom to decide which kingdom is best suited for his present state of 'being"?

I'm sure we've all heard the essence of those songs about a type of person who's looking for love in all the wrong places, BUT who's ignoring the near blinding numbers of not only the 'Divorce" rate but the collateral damage Children are forced to suffer through and often as if alone as a result?

And to think that's only talking a"About" the numbers instead of "Why" the number is increasing as rapidly as it is?

Why isn't the truthful question being asked, 'Exactly Whose Children is society NOT honestly considering"? Who's kicking the can down the road of life in terms of exactly when a child needs to begin to search out their true spiritual Identity? And as such who may have ONLY been taught they're merely X-amount of flesh and bones and only equipped with a reasoning mind?

Consider the foster child who comes of age and sets out in search of their REAL parents? Only to find what? Yet another sad story told they have to choose whether or NOT to "Believe"? Often time having been equipped with very few "Facts"?

Surely the god of Israel brought His people out of slavery, bondage and servitude in Egypt, but to what expected end? So that they could go and worship WHO?

Have you ever been asked or considered for yourself or the children gifted to your temporary care if Joseph ever had this type of spiritual Birds and Bee's talk with Jesus as a young man? Especially when considering how Jesus was birthed into this world differently than ALL other men? To then honestly consider Jesus was the FIRST born of the beloved of God?

And if any of Gods children ONLY see or recognize their person as though spiritual beings once they somehow DO make it into heaven, who then is responsible for teaching these children what they're spiritually unable to SEE? And that being 'What" unless based on what these children have NOT heard as if from the mouth of God?

In terms of pointing the child who does belong to someone else in the RIGHT direction why are parents as temporary care takers NOT telling children who their spiritual Father is? Earthly Fathers who because of what they too have been taught clearly understand the Importance of decreasing so that Christ Might Increase? More specifically under the terms and importance of being born again and that of God, who is the Father of the spirit many claims also dwells in themselves? (Christ In You)

Without knowing not only who the Elijah that is to come also looks LIKE, how will anyone be able to recognize who the "HE" is that will turn the hearts of the children in the direction of God their Heavenly Father of their spirit being? And if somehow being Fatherless is NOT a curse, exactly who's making this decision?

And if that curse is one who is without a spiritual father, who then decide who bears the MARK of someone who has been cursed or NOT?

And if being Fatherless is NOT seen as a scourge or a type of curse who then but a type of "Boy King" of the land can then pass on to the next generation what a True King hears, says and does as did His father?

Mal 4:6
He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."
NIV

The type of statistic's that are staggering whether those pooled are from among those who Go to Church or those who don't attend and WHY? And those who do attend ONLY because of what they have and hopefully CONTINUE to "Learn" while claiming to have been"Attentive" (receptive) when there?

Exactly who is that gets to decide who the disciples of Christ are and who the Prodigals of this world are and why? To then try and honestly weigh why Jesus ask (those who enjoyed toying with him) why they suggested he was a Good teacher (Rabbi)? The same teacher who by human standards produced other teachers out of the least likely students?

And if God is the one who APPOINTS the teachers of the Church He also claims as HIS own, who is failing in the realm of their supposed GOD given talent and Why? Exactly what in this world is being placed at the feet of the Lord as if the NET results of only HIS (Gods) doings?

And as such without truly knowing Why the sacrifice of CAIN was truly rejected of God?

Rom 1:20
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse . NIV

1 John 3:11-15
1 This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. Do not be like Cain , who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death. 15 Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him. NIV

Exactly how much water has passed UNDER under the proverbial "Bridge" without asking who built that 'Bridge" and exactly where does that bridge lead to if NOT heaven? Exactly how much Living water has been released from the River of life that also flows from the Throne of God and who is it that is still thirsty or parched?

And where is the True Value of a divine Education best observed if NOT on the playing Field God designed?

How has handing out 'Condoms or other forms of birth "Control" spiritually affected all the other area's of humanity held in common? Assuming educating about pregnancy, the spread of the disease and how many will choose instead a mere "ounce' of prevention verses the full weight and value of the Fear of the Lord?

How has continuing to feed hungry children fathers have left behind helped in addressing the underlying life cycle that keeps repeating at a much faster pace and who is it in the bigger picture that's truly NOT getting the message sent of God?

Who's saving the "Fatherless" children carrying AK-47's? Who's not confronting the source of evil that makes so many children Fatherless in these foreign lands? Who exactly is NOT willing to become a modern day martyr for the cause which so many claim they believe in?

Could it prove that if some did they those who survive might discover exactly who it is they've been fighting against? Fighting against a curse (scourge) that's also bigger than what they're willing to understand?

Exactly why are people willing to send their own sons and daughter to die of questionable causes to include Church family members, yet the same church will not insist wars can be 'Won" by way of feeding the hungry and handing out bibles instead of Guns?

Especially whenever feeding the Hungry has been preached as though a good deed and meal ticket to the wedding supper of the Lamb of God? Surely feeding people is a good deed, whereas feeding people who only come for the food should also suggest what?

Much like a stray cat or dog, stop feeding it and watch how long it takes for the animal to go somewhere else for the type of nourishment they've come to depend on? To then consider the First born of God who told his own 12 spiritual children I have need of food you're not familiar with.

Is there a true reason why fields are white and the crop in question will also out pace the number of Harvester(s)? And is this type of crop being RE-produced also one to be PROUD of while claiming all the while to have been speaking spiritually on behalf of God?

Christianity is always preaching about the "Heart" of the matter and getting to the Heart that also matters to God. A church who's trying to operate under a type of corporate mannerism which suggest the quickest way to a mans heart is through his belly?

All the while ignoring the significance and the example as to why Jesus (The Divine Rabbi-Teacher) insisted His disciples pick up the pieces of bread the multitude did NOT eat that fell into the grass in order to teach his students about what they too should expect from a different type of hunger that can NEVER be satisfied by mere bread alone?

Is there a difference between "feeding the hungry and feeding those who are HUNGRY for the words of God that TRULY have come down from heaven? Wouldn't your answer also depend upon WHO it is that's grading the evidence of any DIVINE research done?

Is there a difference between the model of a ZOO where people come and pay others in order to marvel over a dying or near extinct species where some have realized how to profit verses those OUT in the field WHO TRULY understand who and what it is that's killing off nearly all the WILD animals?

Exactly what is it that defines those who are talking (Preaching) about expressing the TRUTH in LOVE and those who are DOERS of Gods words because they were first HEARERS of Gods words?

How many Zebras, Lions, Tigers or Bears have ever been converted by feeding them and how many true converts (Christians) the same way? Christ said be "Fishers of Men" yet who is also hungry for same? If food and money is proving to work as well as many ministries are suggesting why not go out into the streets and PAY people to come to Church and simply PROMISE them a meal?

And who today can be TRUSTED in all that they simply SAY and NOT by what they DO?

Who can HONESTLY suggest why so many would have ANY reason to be MAD at God and for GOOD reason?

The historical church in it's never ending pursuit of a contemporary belief system that's also been ACCEPTED by everyone? Exactly how long has the age old Bait and SWITCH been around? Promise them food and greater earthly wealth in exchange for what? Whatever or how much is presently in their pocket books? And who's more disappointed within this type of exchange or economic development that doesn't produce or meet with expectations that are being taught instead of 'Proved'?

Exactly how many dead did John the Baptizer raise from the dead? How many sick is he recorded to have healed and to whose glory? Who was it that said I must decrease so that He might Increase? And if Only God gives the INCREASE who dose that leave functioning in the capacity of a messenger or Ambassador of Christ who merely prepares the WAY for their KING to come into ANY region of this WORLD?

Who's to blame if NOT the teachers and those who look to their Golden star for the day when membership role gets called?

Please don't hear what I'm NOT saying because I Love the thought of the Church both in heaven and on earth.

Yet what I think the Lord despises even more is those who would prefer or would have so many remain blind and living in darkness because they delight in suppressing what is otherwise true as if ONLY a reality that awaits them in heaven.

What sets a man free and from what as if leaving bondage of Egypt? His emotions? His Feelings that are endlessly Changing? The last meal he ate?

Or the TRUTH and everlasting reality that further explains His inner most Identity?

Tangled Web

There's an old church hymn that's been around for many years that suggest, "Take time to be Holy and Speak often with the Lord'.

Have you ever honestly asked yourself if God intended to be "Heard"? Heard under the clear terms of everything that would otherwise define a healthy conversation? The term healthy to suggest a type of conversation that was also intended to produce results? The final 'healthy" resulting in having been "Converted"?

Remember back in the "Day" when your parents would ask You, 'Who the heck have you been listening to"?

Have you ever had a Healthy conversation where you were also the only one "Doing All the Talking"? Later finding despite having had many of these type of conversations you still don't know the other 'Person" having also spent a considerable amount of time with them?

Under the clearly understood terms in knowing God does NOT change, is it any REAL wonder why so many today are easily finding their personal God is so tolerant of nearly every type of behavior under the Sun?

When considering having read something that's also "Meaningful" worth retaining or dedicating to memory, would you categorize same as a 'Monologue or Dialogue"? Where does any type of rhetorical "Question" find its origin or basis? As if having read from a source where there is ONLY "One Type" of acceptable response"?

To then wander out into the streets only to find a million plus different interpretations being lived out by others? The same type who are insisting their unique expressions of their God, must also be accepted by everyone who suggest they too worship the One True God? As if a friend of everyone, why would any type of logically thinking person conclude most Christian have Lost their Minds? Exactly who's mind has been Lost and who's mind has been "Found" if NOT the Mind Of Christ?

Believers claiming to be of Christ today may NOT be saying verbatim what the Holy Spirit speaking through the Apostle Paul was addressing some two thousand years ago, yet how many are also being confronted from a position of authority? Questions such as, "Who told you what You're claiming to Believe"?

1 Cor 1:10-12
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ."
NIV

1 Cor 1:10

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
KJV

1 Peter 4:1
4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind : for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
KJV

Exactly what is the value in asking any type of question? The type of question that goes "Unanswered" that's also taken to the grave? Especially in a world where most don't know beyond doubt exactly WHO to trust in any given moment aside from their own "Personage"?

What about a type of voice assumed to have come from an otherwise invisible source?

You ever studied the eyebrows of those who hear someone suggest "God Told them to say or do something? Their even more dramatic response whenever it's inferred God told them to do something "Specific'?

1 Tim 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. NIV

Is it always a True saying whenever a parent is heard suggesting, "I ONLY want what's Best for My children"? Is there still such a thing today as the perspective that's also "Objective"? Exactly how would such a statement get weighed for its "Objectivity"? As if the "Best" yet as compared to "What"?

Is there such a thing as "Righteous" suffering? What about a type of Righteous suffering the supposed loved ones in our lives must also endure despite all our supposed Loving investments made to date? Exactly how many would you suggest suffer because they Can't "See" as compared to those who suffer because of what they do "See"?

Exactly who is it that teaches the type of Child to Love Money and cherish its potential to influence not only self but others in this world? What would afford such manners to spread like "Gangrene" if ONLY a few are teaching in such a fashion? Much like Cancer cells, there are Fast growth cells and slow growth.

When was the last time you gave a child a bath without 'Water"? Are we only discussing the outer visual aspects that need cleaning that are easily discernible? Paul was training Timothy to BE ...what? A disciple? An Apostle or as if One who simply follows Paul whom also Follows Christ? Yet who do we read (see) also teaching Timothy prior to Timothy's exposure to Paul if and when we DO read of Timothy's childhood learning environment?

2 Tim 1:5-7
I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. NIV

2 Tim 2:14-26
Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17

Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some.

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

In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. 21 If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.

And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a 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

Exactly how much money did God expend raising His ONLY begotten Son he also entrusted to the physical care of two "Humans"? Exactly how many hours did God spend with His Son during the course of his physical Life spent here on earth? These type of questions ONLY seem to matter when? When they become the ballast placed on the opposite side of the scales used to weigh "Meaningful" things? Who today is deciding what is Meaningful and to "Whom"?

When does the consideration of being seen as a "Child" cease to be an "Offense" in the said "Adult ranks whenever attaching labels or a title? And who is it that decides when either consideration has been "Righteously" assigned and attached?

If God were the ONLY one who ultimately defines the difference between a Child and a Mature Son of God in terms of development, who then becomes the "Standard" AND who remains in control of this same process from "Birth"? Which birth though? The natural birth occurrence or the Spiritual rebirth?

1 Cor 13:7-13
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

Why is it the bible is NOT allowed to define what a Pharisee is seen as in the Sight of God? Exactly "Why" don't men allow words such as those "Who Loved Money" and the "Type" of governing thoughts this type of Love "Conjures"? The type of thoughts that have to do with provision and who it is that seemingly provides ALL that God does Have to Give (dispense)?

Luke 16:14-17
The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight. 

16 "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
NIV

People seem to love talking about as if judging "Their" government and everything "Their Government" does right or wrong, yet who has NOT truthfully considered who it is that determines the times, dates and conditions under which those who "Govern" the people who DO belong to the Lord?

And as such without honestly weighing why anyone would in turn "Love" the 'Way" those governed decisions trickle down to those who've allowed themselves to have been governed in a "Particular fashion"?

Exactly what "Good" could ever come from ANY  type of "Analogy, Allegory or Metaphor dredged from the imagination of mere men without a "Righteous" standard? Exactly who today is trying to Re-establish what is considered to be GOOD in this world?

If the words "Jew" or "Gentile" were to be "Allegorically" seen for ALL of what they were worth today, who would see "What" as if the "Way" God intended?

Acts 13:46-52
Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. For this is what the Lord has commanded us:

"'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'"

When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.

The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. But the Jews incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
NIV

Isa 9:7
Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.
NIV

Whenever the imperfection of humanity attempts to project or protect itself from constructive criticism who as a result becomes the "Fall Guy". sw

Acts 18:9-11
One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: "Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city."  So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God. NIV

What happens to any learning environment whenever the bottom 10% decides the pace at which the whole pursues improvements under the Godly terms of "Increase'. sw 

The world suggest those who possess the Gold also make the rules. How is that summation squaring with what God says about everything that belongs to Him. sw

The contemporary definition of insanity that's been "Adopted" suggest what? Adopted by the same ones who suggest that change is inevitable. 

If the proving of Patience were to require less financial resources, who is richer because they understand why. sw

Phil 4:10-13
I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. NIV

Exactly how or could any man even attempt to measure not only the kingdom of heaven, but also the value of what's been said can also be found there without "First" having been told by a reliable source. sw

Does a man not speak clearly because he does NOT wish to be understood or does he speak only to those He does know are willing to "Believe"?

Matt 13:11-23
He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.

This is why I speak to them in parables:

"Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:

"'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' 

But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

18 "Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.

This is the seed sown along the path. The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.

The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it.

He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." NIV

Acts 7:51-52
"You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit! NIV
