True confidence stems from a well Known Identity only the spirit of the Lord can establish. Sw
There is a reason why that only in In This World is the mere Thought of somehow being Made perfect can only come by way of a miracle. sw

1 John 4:18
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. ---> In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
NIV
Depending upon where you're at in life thoughts of growing up verses growing "Old" can often wage "War" against each other. How much would you say "Knowing" what is Good would also "Prove" to to "BE" why many 'Win" this battle?
Under the terms of somehow "Growing", how might all our thoughts and HOW we've been "Taught" to think also prove have 'Anything" eternally meaningful to do with physically and or mentally "Growing Old"? As if suggesting the latter by default somehow "Produces' a True sense of "Rest"? A sense of "Rest" others can also easily "Recognize" and hopefully look "Forward" to?
Because of What, How and by Whom many have been "Taught" over the course of time, how many find the older they've supposedly "Grown" they're less sure of what they also "Hope" for?
Is there a difference between two opinions when the following 'Wisdom" is heard for "All" it was intended to convey?
It;s one thing for a "Man" to suggest that He Fears "NO MAN", yet WHO is the MAN who KNOWS what benefit the Fear Of The Lord will bring to pass in terms of "NET RESULTS"?
Read this next passage and consider the "Mother Bear" analogy many refer to as if a fearless mindset? These TYPE of analogies seem to stand the test of time don't they? That is until some meet face to face with the TYPE of MAN that is said to be "LOADED for Bear" ......
1 John 4:18
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, -----> because IN THIS WORLD we are like him.
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, BECAUSE fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not MADE perfect in love.
NIV
1 Cor 13:11-12
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.
NIV
Are we only THEN going to be KNOWN fully for who we've yet to "Become"? At what point in our spiritual journey back to the Lord (as Beings that have Truly Reconciled their OUTSTANDING differences)? All the above while honestly suggesting and AGREEING with the following nugget of information?
Job 36:22
"God is exalted in his power. Who is a TEACHER like him ?
NIV
Many want to be the "Teacher of the Younger Men" yet who has been made ready to TEACH the OLDER Men?
Titus 2:1-2
You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
NIV
All the above because this "Sense" of "Rest" the hearing of many words have promised has yet to manifest more completely and in some instances may have even diminished the Older they've "Become"? As such in lite of everything they assume they've "Seen" in the realm of what many have described as though "Life'?
Exactly what is the difference between a type of Youth who can NOT seem to Agree and a type of Older "Generation" that claims to be "Much Wiser" who STILL can NOT seem to ....AGREE?
Now add to that "Spiritual Topics" that require being in Agreement with One and the SAME life coach and teacher whom ALL men will also be required to give an accounting to?
What is the difference between someone who has "Seen" many things in life, verses someone who's yet to develop a TRUE "Sense" that's been based upon everything they "Have Seen' or NOT?
And if it is ONLY the TRUTH that sets men FREE, what then has any person "Learned" verses somehow "Earned" in this life time?
When I suggest "Knowing" what is Good this excludes doing what is considered to Be "Good" only because of the threat or "Thoughts" that also suggest going to Jail if "Caught" doing what is wrong, Death as though payment for doing wrong or the threat of some type of Physical harm to self and others when something has been done "Wrong" (sin)?
Assuming we've all heard the phrase, "There's A World of difference between the two", but when talking in terms of the "Kingdom of God" and finding the evidence of that same Kingdom God has said is within those who've Believed In Him, exactly where is the dividing Line?
The same could be asked of a World and everything in that world that belongs to God and the world God says needs Saving, where exactly does the landscape of either begin and the other end?
Our Lord Jesus is recorded asking some during His first visitation, "Why do You call me Good"? In my opinion based on what I believe The Lord is more than aware of and what I choose to believe to be true it would also seem as if He was asking a "Rhetorical Question". The type of question that goes far beyond begging to make a TRUE difference, as if pleading an underlying "Cause" in the form of a never ending question?
For whose "Sake"?
To then even attempt to somehow weigh the worth of any man and everything a man can do in the lite of a God who already owns EVERYTHING as if the entire Estate to include those who were intended to oversee the "Growth" and expansion of that same Estate?
rhe·tor·i·cal ques·tion
noun
- a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer.
"the presentation was characterized by impossibly long sentences and a succession of rhetorical questions"
Based on what You believe to "BE" True, is maintaining a clear Conscience only about remaining in Control of what You and others around you consider to be Good?
Would it also BE a safe assessment to consider "Consistency" as a type of measurement?
Unless a person is absolutely blind or in "Denial" it's a well known fact we all make mistakes when left to our own "Reasoning" capabilities for any extended period of time in solving life's problems, yet under the terms of trying to define "Realty" whose authority gets to "Enjoy" defining what is also considered to BE "Real" and on a meaningful mass "Scale'?
The term 24/7 also suggest a measurement of time as does a "Day, Week, Month or a Year, but what about a "Generation"? To then think of a type of "Man" whom has also attempted to somehow "Divide" up a Godly measurement of Time?
Have you ever deeply considered what a "Gene" pool looks like in the sight of God? The type of pool from which all mankind was birthed from?
Who also in their "Right Mind" would somehow find it as though a "Need" to somehow "Redefine" ANYTHING God has already established?
Neh 8:10
This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."
NIV
In this next passage who was Jesus talking to? Was he talking directly to those who were also PHYSICALLY present at the same time these events took place? Or was Jesus addressing a "Gene" pool (Genre') of people who since that time were brought into this world MANY years beyond the time when these crimes were committed?
Luke 11:49-51
Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.
NIV
What is it about a day called "Today"? A type of day so many somehow need to see as if a "Different Day"? A type of "Different Day" that also mysteriously tries to exclude or pick and choose exactly what does get Transferred between a father and a son? The type of transfer that includes words spoken in haste or in anger?
Instead of "Everyday" being seen as an opportunity for a "Generation" that has been handed a "Baton" in a Race to the End? To then truly consider every Day as one that has NEED of being "Filtered"? As if trying to strain or filter a source of Pure Water which everyone can then drink from it?
And how deep does is any "Well" need to be dug in order to reach beyond the otherwise contaminated or stagnated waters mankind seems to be satisfied drinking from to "Date"?
Does it all get clumped together? Do the dividing lines of time simply get withdrawn allowing time to compress or maybe collapse in upon itself as if One "Whole" Consideration? Does anything that also Matters somehow get dissected 'Out" of One and the same "Joint" consideration of the meaningful events of this "Life Time"? If 'Yes", meaningful to WHO?
Exactly why is it so hard for some to accept and as a result then "See" perfection Has come? This same perfection was before the earth was formed. It was before man and was with God. This same Perfection in word form that has and forever WILLS itself to "Enjoy" the presence of God also became "Flesh" and dwelt among men....
Based on what You and I suggest WE believe to BE true and everlasting, why would You say so many INSIST upon clinging to types words that also lead to a type of thoughts of a mutually enjoyed type of "Imperfection"? And as such without also considering WHO spoke such highly esteemed words?
As if this same "Imperfection" is OUR only point of reference or sense of "Reality" (What is Real)? Many have labored and for many years tried to defend their own perception and actions which have followed concerning the power of words spoken ABOUT them and many of those words by people who have been situated and/or "Appointed" to specific "Offices" or 'Capacities" among men under God?
Most "Certain" positions among men intended to be "Maintained" over the course of time? And as such without regard to however many times each of these offices might find the NEED to be "Washed Clean' because of the behavior of the one who presently occupy these offices?
We hear today much about "Drain the Swamp" while observing a "Politically" obtained office, yet how far down the food chain does this need to Include? Offices held by a type of people who abuse the authority given to such offices? "Offices" held by some who often rule from an irresponsible platform due primarily to what if NOT "Ignorance and Unbelief"?
A type of people who "Aimlessly" go through the motions life presents only later to find out "What"? Mankind didn't dig down deep enough due to "Uncertainty"? And what is the results of doubt and unbelief within the life of a person who also fails to looks beyond the realm of "Excuses"? A world filled with the excuses others have labored to make available to those who follow behind us? Having Labored, yet labored in the fashion they have for whose "Benefit"?
A life filled with "Excuses" yet who's NOT asking "Excuses made yet for "What" reason"? What they too Refused to believe? Maybe so, but who's is going to truthfully assess "Why" any person did NOT "Know" when ALL has been "Said" and "Done??
Those who did NOT know based ONLY upon all that is NOT TRUE? To then try and truthfully find a home for what God says, "So that ALL men are WITHOUT excuse"? Clearly something has to "Go" under the rules of "Displacement"? The type of displacement that has made 'Room" for what God has said is True?
If a life lived is somehow going to be assessed because of WHY some were NOT informed, "Who" then is to be blamed? Those who suppressed the truth? Those same things they also couldn't find a WAY to control for some mysterious type of "Reasoning"?
Many of these misguided type of words also set to Music? A type of words merely laughed at? Words thought Humorous by a God who also Created the world we live n by way of WORDS He also Spoke?
Spoken words since set to music only so a given society can somehow swallow this type of "Pill and Enjoy these TYPE of enunciated WORDS even more! Are words intended to BE..Personified? And whose person do these words require to then 'Live Through" once released (spoken)? Are words only a brief glance at a type of Thief who hopes to suggest mere words have somehow "Unknowingly" been Glorified?
And why were the first words of God in the Garden, where the FIRST children of God Fell "Who Told You"?
Exactly HOW will God catch You and I when we are falling without asking 'Who Told Yo So"?
Words released into this world in a feeble attempts at trying to somehow RELATE a type of Beauty in our mutual "Imperfection" as are now BEING....Realized on a GRAND scale?
And who is harmed in ANY type of atmosphere also hoping to be SEEN as if a "Party"? Whether labeled and derived as a if a legitimate type of "Democratic Party" or "Gangster" driven type of "Brother Hood"?
While remembering the context of what Jesus Said to others also many years ago, who TODAY in light of the opportunity "True Repentance" also makes "Available" to ALL mankind, who then is WITHOUT a righteous excuse?
I don't know if you've ever been asked before or Not, but have you ever heard it mentioned of the Bible being a type of "Mirror" provided by God? Who is the type of being that has since forgotten what man looked like before man had fallen from Grace?
James 1:22-25
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it — he will be blessed in what he does.
NIV
Why then would it matter so much to "Some" how and when the Perfection process of God also gets "Delivered"?
2 Cor 5:17-19
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation ; the old has gone, the new has come! 18 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
For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child , I thought like a child , I reasoned like a child . When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
NIV
Rom 1:18-20
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 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
Even if a person chooses to Ignore something for an extended period of time, does that somehow do away with the GREATER reality God Initiated? Would Ignoring God then make sense why so many different types of people connected to the realities presented by this world REFUSE to be IGNORED? The type venue where they practically INSIST on getting an over abundance of personal ATTENTION at nearly ANY "Cost"?
And if ONLY the children were seen as the overly needy of this world in terms of getting the Lions share of attention in this world? What might the reality of Truly becoming spiritually Mature somehow promote in terms of what a child Hopes for and LOOKS forward to?
Exactly where does the "Coming OUT of the proverbial closet" find its TRUE origin without also considering exactly what those proverbial SKELETONS in the closet use to support in terms of framework? Why is there a particular reference made of a "Closet" where a person Goes and Prays?
As if much like the Transformation of Super man who was someone else before entering into a type of "Phone Booth" who then comes out as though WHAT? And Truly how is the divine POWER of "Prayer" being SEEN (Realized) today in terms of the type of "Effectual" communication of our Faith in God Our Heavenly Father?
What exactly was it that has since died whose remains WERE being KEPT hidden IN THE CLOSET?
2 Cor 5:17-21
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation ; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
NIV
Exactly how Long does a true Man have need of being flooded with Images and Pictures such as these before he connects the dots God provides?
What exactly does any Group of people assembled together for One and the Same Cause try to encourage their chosen TEACHERS to also TEACH? Did your children choose You or did You choose them from among however many OTHERS there are in this world to choose from or did GOD choose for YOU?
How often is and under what type of circumstances might a Father be seen as the "Student" or Under Study" (the one being studied)?
And how often is a child ALLOWED to TEACH something of Greater Value? And without being able to discern exactly WHO Israel is within ANY God given Generation, who then gets to decide WHO or WHAT the Gene pool turns out in order to "Look Like' the one WHO is doing the TEACHING?
Jer 29:4-9
This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: "Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.
Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease .
Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper."
Yes, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have.
They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them," declares the LORD.
NIV
Different to mean aside from the type of A Plan God has for every individual? And if a person spends their entire LIFE without ever Finding out the PLANS God designed for them specifically, who then is to blame and what else might those who ARE claiming to have lived out a life of TRANSPARENCY conclude?
Is there any type of unseen danger in leaving the results of this life time up to children to "Decide" what is not only Good, but Who, What and Why a Good Father (Parent) ultimately Looks and acts Like?
We constantly hear people talking about "Transparency" today, but how many know what they're suggesting when they practically insist on Transparency?
As if this word is synonymous with the word "Honesty"? In terms of setting a Good example exactly "Who" is it as parents we HOPE shines through? Especially when we assume we're also Teaching our children verses the world around us teaching our children ABOUT their Parents? Is it ONLY a matter of who Taught our Teachers or NOT?
If this is so, at what Point on a time line would any type of NEW teaching somehow FIND its way into this world? Much less a Child's little world? in order to correct the ill affects of supposedly inherited Bad Habits?
Has the school of Science managed to TOTALLY misrepresent not only the Elements which make up this world, but also seem to have taken over the realm of the Narrative that also verbally depicts what we do see or NOT? Consider the mysterious and seemingly unavoidable "Gene" pool that has Practically locked so many down in life based on what they've heard and been taught?
Those who are then practically "Launched" on a trajectory that has NO other hope but to meet FACE to FACE with their future "Captivity"? A type of Captivity that's been founded upon what they've been told and "Believe" or NOT!
Exactly when does what God say somehow "Outweigh" what mankind has merely "Assumed" is otherwise True? Try and think of such things this way, what plans should those who openly "Refuse" to believe God also EXPECT from God? More pointedly as if an Expected END?
The same ones who REFUSE to accept WISDOM in it's rawest form?
Have you ever visualized the tiny differences even in the words Earn and Learn"? One tiny and seemingly small letter separates the two.... whereas within the scope and range of many religions this One letter has proven WHAT in terms of Receiving Gods Mercy and Grace (power) in order to somehow become a child of God?
Exactly how might an earthly father somehow TEACH their son or Daughter to TRUST God as their own GOD and FATHER? Remember we're NOT talking about WHO Santa Clause really is here, but God almighty?
There are times in life when a NEW picture has to be painted. There are also times when all we have is that ONE picture we hold onto as if our ONLY hope of surviving a CRISIS or returning to that safe place, would You agree?
Picture Your child who you dearly Love laying in their bed at night with all the lights out. You as a parent just happen to be just around the corner and you hear this child praying asking God in their innocent fashion for something You know is within your power to Give to them? The key word being "What" as if talking about the DIFFERENCES between You as an ADULT and them as a CHILD in the SIGHT of God?
Could it be the word "Innocent" maybe? The same type of Innocent that should also interpret set Free from a sense of Guilt that also factors into what? Set free from what might otherwise paralyze or impede the assurance of thoughts of a Promise previously made?
Here comes the HUGE twist? Did that PROMISE also come with Contingencies or conditions placed on it?
Now ask yourself, who has been Qualified to answer these type of "Questions" or NOT? Will it PROVE to be the Child? Those who have MATURED? Those who do NOT know or TRUST the Heart of their Father? Will Your answer also meet with the Trust worthiness and type of DEPENDENCE only the Consistency of God can Provide?
Exactly How long does it take a CHILD to make a nearly miraculous RECOVERY or NOT from the sensory perception of something they also know beyond doubt they've done wrong the day before or maybe even that same Day?
Prov 15:32
He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.
NIV
Does a child who's done something Wrong expect to also get the reward they were promised they'd get? Does God make promises He can't Keep or does a child ONLY hear what they want to hear within Was their rewards also such that was "Unconditional"? Are You as the parent more concerned about the child getting what they momentarily WANT? Or would you as the parent also reach the CONCLUSION, preparing the child for the REAL hope of their own future that might also include yet one more Child that also belongs to God?
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.
NIV
Is there a much deeper reason as to why some parents grow "Fatigued" while playing the role of a parent? And others where the seemingly difficult issues that do arise truly ARE the type of things ONLY god can cure and or remedy? What type of arrogance has truly been defined to think in ANY fashion God loves a child any LESS than You do? And as such without somehow getting in the WAY of the ENTIRETY of that same 'Process"?
When was the last time anyone successfully explained "How" or "Why" ANYONE might somehow "Rob" GOD of anything that also RIGHTFULLY belongs to HIM in the Grand Scheme of ALL that this life time is?
In terms of Transition, Transparency, Transformation, Transportation or anything with the prefix "Trans", where is anything in this world also "Headed"?
Especially when words were intended to "Truly"....Mean something to be valued? Valued ONLY by those who DO find value in not only Words, but the Words of God He has spoken and WHY?
