The invitation to speak

I think it safe to say that most everyone loves to be "Invited" to an event, yet how many hope to be the highlight of that same event as the reason for having been Invited?

There's certain type of allure or enticement which trails close behind an invitation. One which I think many misinterpret.

There's also an endless number of topic's that can initiate a conversation, yet that number dramatically shrinks in terms of  the enjoyment of everyone that also desires to remain as if part of that same conversation.

You may not have experienced one of these types of conversations, but they're ones where "I don't know how we "Got Off" on this topic" usually closes out the conversation.

As if to suggest, "I'm no longer finding enjoyment while having this discussion".

Whether in whole or part, we all long (desire) to be connected to "Something", yet the entirety of that said something is what's really in play in the form of a question. A question in "Common" as if one and the same blue sky which arches above all mankind.

Often times conversations get started because of the allure of a common complaint, yet how many conversations evolve into the realm of reasoning which then leads to the truth being revealed? Wouldn't truth be required as if the nucleus?

That is, "If those two (also being different) desired to become one and the same thing"?

I used to miss the greatest gift that God has given to humanity. IMO that gift is the is the gift of "Truth" otherwise we would have believed "Anything"?

Consider the Atom as well it's orbiting negative or positively charged particles? What are all of its possibilities and or capabilities? Who could one hope to ask in order to discover its limits?

Is it truth which determines the extent of the Atoms usage while in the care of humanity or is it the Matter which determines the cause for which the Atom gets used in accordance with its harmonious mandate established by its creator?

Reasoning together with another is a whole different consideration. Reasoning that is governed only by Truth can't perpetuate itself until and or unless it also proves itself worthy as the "Sound" of something that's worth lending an ear.

Truth in the "form" of a metaphor is more than the likes of puzzle piece that seems to fit.

Instead said "Truth" transcends what can NOT otherwise be seen.

Truth establishes the basis which over shadows ALL of creation. Why? Because truth was there in the beginning before all things were created.

Creation which takes up and then shares the same space (manifest) as something which continues to exist together with its creator.

Exist to mean beyond the limits of time where we are each Given the opportunity to (discover) realize not only our creator but having also been created.


Basically during the course of our existence we become a certain matter that does not change in the face of anything which finds itself to the contrary of its creators original intent.

If you believe that God spoke things into existence by way of words which came from His mouth, why then can't we as Believers then see that "Nothing" will return to Him that His words alone did not also create?

His words towards humanity were intended to create a "New Heart" in mankind.



Isa 55:11
...so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. 
NIV


The next time someone "strikes" up a conversation, stop and consider the word match. 


Will your exchange of words be a match with the likes of a reckless tongue which ignites, burns and then consumes or will it be the type of match that fits together with the One that also created and designed the intent of a process where your words speak as if His?

As believers we are told that we are to worship Him in spirit and in truth. Our naked soul's are not capable of such a request independent of His spirit.

Only by way His spirit that's taken up a more permanent residency having been given the Invitation which can has been proved to truly be one considered "Agape" (unconditional) are we then lead to see the need for that same (mutual) spirit as if a covenant bond with His Holy Spirit.

There's a law written with ink and there's a law which only the spirit of the Lord within that is able to righteously interpret the only freedom that is Real in Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Pilate was being asked to pass judgement on a law he did not observe, so how could he have found any fault?

The Jews however, couldn't see their creator for all that He IS having come to them to present himself as the great I AM. Why?

Because their OWN laws blinded and prevented them from seeing the beauty of "Their" savior that can only be found In Christ Jesus the messiah (The One sent).

Their own foolishness?

Everything God had historically foretold and or established as their LAW pointed to the One that He would send in order to "Save" them from the effects of themselves.

Food for thought, "What are your thoughts causing your mouth to speak"?


A real Father



Mal 4:5-6
 "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. 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

There's many reasons one can never find themselves in the presence of a Father, yet how many of those reasons will stand once confronted with all that Truth is? 


Is it because more often so many don't want to truthfully consider the standard a dad (as the parental process) is being measured against enough that comparison's are never truthfully made?

Shouldn't the weight of that thought not only drive a man to his knees, but also keep him on his knee's while pleading for wisdom to complete the task?

True parenting begins with transparency. As if a window that is looked through in order for others to see the True image.

That to mean the desired and mutually understood focus upon a more exact representation that's being pursued.

Not wanting to block or obscure the view of another sometimes simply requires that the "Person" get out of the way so that others can also enjoy the "Same" scenery.

I was once asked, "When does a young man and or women know when they're mature enough to decide when to be joined in marriage"?

Marriage meaning the mutual understanding as if it were a child produced that will survive all of life's circumstances that can't  be presently seen or forecast prior to being joined together.

In this life when someone wants to find forgiveness the first thing they should do is to discover how to forgive the parent that was or is being held responsible for as if the task master over the net results of their own  parental training process.


John 6:45
It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.
NIV

What have any of us taught our children? Especially if they never discover their own need that's also TRUE?


It's hard to be critical while witnessing the evidence in every day life as if something tangible as the product of an environment where a "Child raises a child". 

You know those images where it's a single mom/dad trying to raise a child that are not only failing but are also miserable becuase they know they are? Or maybe the situation where both natural parents seem forever hard pressed to find a way to manage the ability to find agreement?

The opposite of agreement being the miserable struggle with each other while attempting to shape and form something from the clay that's found its way into their own hands (children)?

The child that has been righteously instructed by the Lord has to somehow become thoroughly convinced as to who it was that fed their father and family from day to day in the midst of their own coming to understand their own sense of maturity.

It is the gift that's been given within the opportunity of relationship that will lead the most meager of understandings into the greater reality which all humanity was intended to truthfully consider.

As it is with law and lawlessness, said laws were intended to be used as the school master which then informs the greater understanding concerning true mercy that has been shown.

A sacrifice that comes by way of the response while truthfully considering the need for the implementation of said "Law" which effectually governs immaturity. Transparency as part of the parenting process must first make room for ones self to also be governed.

Within this process many things will surely be put to death and cease to exist to then govern the "whole" as if the predominate influence over "All members".

Herein is the best example discovered as one comes to truthful terms with respect towards their own level of maturity or lack there of.

If it is thoroughly understood that ONLY God is good AND that anything that does not come from faith is sin, only then can anyone hope to also catch a glimpse of who has been their own teacher.


2 Cor 7:10-11
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done.
NIV




Rom 14:23
...and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
NIV


Titus 2:3

Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
NIV


Titus 2:4-5

Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. 
NIV


A parent should find Godly sorrow's at work if traces of their own spiritual struggles can still be seen to the second and third generation. How else can the school master then lead any of us to repentance?

That is to say the overall parental consideration "Should NOT then lean or rely upon the reason they did not know as if an excuse. That only places blame on their own parenting experience's that did not or maybe better "Could not" find a way to teach them.

It's far to easy to suggest that it is my children's fault they did not listen, yet the more accurate depiction should be was the parent found apt to teach?

The above notion should circle back around to the question, "When are the young man and woman Ready to raise a family" and "What got in the way of that preparation"?


Rom 5:15-16
But the gift is not like the trespass . For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man's sin:
NIV

These are just a few of many questions that could be asked, but take the time to truthfully consider them.

Is a Father just a guy that thinks he just knows stuff or a man that tries to care enough by taking a hold of the time he's been given to then carve an image from it of something that is and can be Honored?

Is he just the physical presence in the home that's called upon only "After" there's a problem or is he an address where true wisdom can not only be sought out, but also found?

How does such a man prove himself to be worthy of such a high calling? Does it come by way of demand only or by way of expectation that's been shadowed by an easily understood example he places on display?

Is he honored or simply tolerated?

Is his counsel respected, rejected or simply ignored?

Has an environment been set in place and maintained to where everything at work converges at the location where wisdom does reside?

Is he seen as just that certain someone to blame and then despise for all future problems or is he that specific person you've since learned you should have listened to when the sound of his voice was available?

Do you see him seated alone at the top of all that he seems thoroughly convinced of or does he get to enjoy the company next to those that have revered and embraced his intentions and efforts put forth to date?

It's easy to start a family, yet having the tools needed to maintain that family will evolve into something greater than meeting the need for simply more food, water clothing, shelter or vacation.

Able to See having heard from a Friend

I've always been fascinated with the various perceptions that are floating on the cultured air ways which express the consideration of someone that is a "A Good listener".

I think some having discounted true friendship have made it more of a practice in the way they physically "Appear" (posture) while supposedly listening, but the underlying question remains "Were they really hearing what's being said"?

How does the consideration of truly being "Heard" get proved over time?

I trust that we all want to be heard in this life, yet how willing are we to take the time to absorb/study what's been spoken for the sake of our own hearing which then becomes "Effectually" evident?

Maybe it should be stated concerning a shared opinion, "I was Infected by what was said"?

In terms of all that's been said from the mouth of the Lord through His prophets to include Jesus, how well of listeners have any of us proved ourselves to be through the course of time?

Some might suggest in terms of their own ability to listen, "I listened with intent" while others might say the same as "I listened with interest".

What if the words "Listening, Heard & Interested" were assigned "Symbols"?

What would the math formula then appear as in terms of an "Action" that is not only complete, but also one that is true having been proved effectual?

If measuring the effects required a ruler, what standard would find itself "Acceptable"?

Further to mean "An expression which reflects the impact of an opinion after considering what's been said"?

Whatever is spoken towards another normally also gets weighed on their own set of scales of all that they presently consider to be "True"?

Now, what if the said "Golden" rule were copied and pasted along side all that's been said above, "Love thy neighbor as thy self"?

The contemporary version to that might be, "To thine own self be true". Yet the reality that needs to be checked and proved first "Are we always TRUE to ourselves"?

I used to never have a problem with loaning things to others. In terms of loaning things to a friend all that was needed was the simple request.

How different are opinions though?

How are they treated once loaned/borrowed as if they DO still "Belong" to someone that is also valued/esteemed?

It was as if an unspoken rule when someone did borrow a piece of property from me that it was understood, "Just treat it as if it was your own" or maybe "Just make sure it's in the same condition it was when I loaned it to you".

In the course of seeking out a "good" listener, I've also unexpectedly uncovered a more personal deeper meaning of the word "manipulate".

How often do we find ourselves trying to manipulate others by way of our outward expression(s)?

Better still, "How do we allow ourselves to be manipulated by our own words and actions we seem to love to toss around as if the mass weight of ourselves as a "Being" in this world? I think often times people see themselves as "Human Doings" instead of "Beings".

Just food for thought, but are we not simply manipulating ourselves in the bigger picture if we're not governed foremost by the truth?

What of those instances where someone uses to their own advantage their polished practice of presenting themselves outwardly as if they are good listeners?

You know the kind eyes routine, the occasional nod of agreement and maybe a bright smile to top it all off that would have most believe they've been heard?

Yet in reality in those instances instead prove over time to be those where you were simply allowed to go on and on about something that is otherwise not true?

Until the whole consideration presents itself, have you truly encountered a friend?


3 John 11
Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God
NIV


Matt 13:14-15

In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: 

"'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceivingFor this people's heart has become callousedthey 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.'   
NIV

The opinion of a Fugitive

It is my opinion one of the greatest evil(s) found within a relationship with the Lord that is also True, is the assumption that He as Lord is not able to examine every dark corner where your thought life gets warehoused.

In a relationship with the Lord that is True, there is no such thing as privacy and or a private room where evil can be stashed "Away" from His knowing.

Many people appear to get "Away" with many different things in this life in their OWN mind within their said close relationships with family and friends.

There remains a much deeper reality though within a relationship with the Lord which IS based only upon the truth. A truth which goes beyond such thoughts that are assumed are also hidden away from His knowledge in darkness.

I think it's important to revisit the definition of a fugitive (thank you Webster).

Definition of FUGITIVE

1
: running away or intending flight <a fugitive slave> <fugitive debtor>
2
: moving from place to place : wandering
3
a : being of short durationb : difficult to grasp or retain : elusivec : likely to evaporate, deteriorate, change, fade, or disappear 
4
: being of transient interest 

It is my opinion the Lord is not as much concerned with a lengthy list of things within a man conscience he alone assumes need to be healed of (change) as much as it is the Lords primary concern that a man (person) remain willing to be "healed" of the smallest trace as to what started the whole corrupt process to begin with.

To thine own self be true is not an entirely truthful expression. Instead it's only a portion of the entire consideration concerning the origin's of truth which was with God since the beginning.

It is one thing to assume a man "Knows" the Lord, yet isn't it an entirely different consideration for a life that's lived while striving to understand the deeper truth that you are "Known" by God?

There are many people that walk the face of the earth content with the thought(s) they've never killed anyone, fornicated nor had an adulterous relationship with someone else in physical terms, yet from within the annuls of their thought life a voice all it's own "Screams" to the contrary.

All such things a man considers are NOT the fullness of all that he does NOT more fully Know about the Lord as well His acceptance of their willful and continued existence. More importantly due to the fact all those considerations have not been more clearly defined by the righteousness (mind) of the Lord.

There is much that has been stored up within a person, yet that person should not enjoy Harboring such a mindset as if a fugitive.

In terms of enmity towards the Lord as well all that He considers to be "Evil", the roots of such run so deep within us that without the saving redemptive character of a helper (Savior), man has zero chance of saving himself from all that he can not fathom.

If a soul does not know they're dis-eased and dying, how could a cure in the form of a Savior find itself of any value that is True (or Real)?

The dis-ease (seed) from which a mans present fallen identity and his current outward expressions stem from.

Matt 15:19-20
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man 'unclean'; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean.'"
NIV

The deception and corruption of mankind began with a thought seed that was planted. A seed which was introduced into the same soil Gods thoughts, hands, words and breath then formed into a life that's been given.

Where did mankind go wrong?

He believed a lie to the contrary of what God had already "Said" concerning the definition of mans continued existence beyond what took place within him having Believed such a lie.


Believing is more than a passing thought. Believing is the occurrence where a thought is first given a home (entitlement) where it then gets provided the nutrition needed in order to grow within ones reasoning into an action that's "Taken"

There's an old saying which I'm not exactly sure where it originated, "The criminal is never as sorry as he is the day in which he gets caught and brought to justice"!


Are you harboring the the opinion of a fugitive?

Faith that has worth

I'm at the age of an opinion today, "Place less expectations upon all that you assume you know about yourself and more upon all that Christ and His character teaches you and you'll end up far less frustrated having become a better student".

I used to think that loving relationships provided the strict venue where all that we thought we knew about ourselves and someone else would then be the ONLY attributes we'd then find enjoyable.

The harsh reality though outside of two individuals being equally yoked together in Christ in a said "Relationship" instead becomes, "the venue for discovering everything we Didn't know about the other person as if the limits of all that we assumed Love is and does".

It's far too easy to become frustrated with everything we assumed Love is, does or is supposed to look like when it comes from another person, especially if that persons governance is NOT of Christ the Lord.

Many simply need to accept the "New Standard" of love. One by which they now measure themselves against.

That standard then appears much more like the type of "Ruler" we then measure ourselves by in a relationship which operates in Love.

The beauty of the Christ that is also True, is that He does NOT change and is more than reliable once we truthfully come to know Him.

Simply knowing that particular fact about Him should always make choices which are final so much easier.

A faith that is considered alive in heaven can ONLY be found in Christ AND as one that will never die.

A faith at work as if a verb in action found within a mans heart which pursues all that righteousness truly is as seen through the eyes of God the creator of ALL things.


Prov 15:11

Even the depths of Death and Destruction are known by the LORD. How much more does he know the human heart! 
NLT


I love the way apostle Paul more often than not cuts straight to the chase.

1 Cor 15:19
If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. 
NIV

Just because our opinion doesn't escape the confines of our lips, doesn't also mean that same opinion doesn't rule supreme within the deceived perception of privacy as if somehow hidden within our own minds. 

Here is where Jesus must rule supreme as the highest of opinions which has also been highly esteemed.

I see much of my own frustration as something which stems from everything which I've allowed to date to help form my opinion concerning a hope which rest upon Christ Jesus. Things which result in frustration always prove to NOT be genuine and or full of Truth.

Still what do I do with such considerations? I subject them to the influence of the mind of Christ.

It all boils down to whom you've assumed deals out the results of choices made. NOT being of the Faith (in Christ) can a opinion have any hope that's also true of as if being used as an instrument of righteousness? 

That is to say an instrument of righteousness that gets used for the benefit of another? 

Enough to where the results of having been a messenger of righteousness then produces the reward of a righteous man? 

The same cane ONLY be found "In Christ" as if an integral portion of His person?

Either way they all work together for the Good of those which love the Lord in order to help shape a future opinion of a Christ (savior) that is True. 

True to mean those that are not only in pursuit of His righteousness, but by way the net result Prove to be in and of Christ. Those in pursuit of Him have to allow our naked opinion of Him to be changed in many area's of our mental conditioning much like a diet that produces the specific result(s) of a promise made.

A hope that is "True" should be the only hope you also have in Christ. If your hope is not built based upon the truth should you expect anything less than disappointment once truth does arrive on scene?

This hope as if the ONLY hope that is also real is built upon everything that's been said about Him as if a consideration to ponder. Why? Because of the mouth which spoke such things concerning Christ the Lord all of which having come from the mouth of God. 

The only requirement is truly believing what's been said of Him. Enough that is that we can then be believed in what we testify to. It must be more than having simply mimed a few empty words. 

Here is where the dark cloud of frustration seems to follow many of around day to day.

When I mention frustration I say that to mean, "Frustration which stems from what seems to be a lack of co-operation from the Lord".

Almost as if an expectancy towards His full co-operation from all that He remains in control over. 

Could anything less then truly satisfy Gods likeness if it were to be found within a man? How else could He then find His likeness found within a man also pleasing to himself if it does not desire to shadow His own likeness?

I don't think many are willing to grasp just how far man fell away from the Lord in the Garden. It was surely one small step of mankind, yet that step has proved to be a universal leap away from the mind of the Lord.

Frustration to mean not so much those instances when things don't Seem to want to work out a certain way, but more to mean when everyone else's opinion seems to tug and pull against what I consider to be our own best efforts while attempting to understand a more finite reconciled relationship unto the Lord.


Eph 5:8-14
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. 

Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:

"Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." 
NIV


What owner of any opinion doesn't want to be considered righteous?

I suppose simple logic might suggest an even greater need would be to know not only who is "Right" but also what could possibly establish their opinion as if a ruling made that is truly dominated by all but  blinding "Light of Truth"?

A fragmented analogy might even go as far as to suggest that such a high opinion could have only originated from within God as if its progenitor?

Allow me to ask this, "Do you have and find the mind of Christ functioning harmoniously within you" or "Does the mention of what is considered right or wrong stir up the strongest of negative emotions within you?

Food for thought, God does have enemies, yet those thought to be enemies are simply not in agreement with Him as it pertains to ALL things He has also made and set in motion by giving them life"!

Caring enough to continue to Need

Short of sounding opposed to doing good, what is that seems to reside in the heart of humanity as if the root cause for doing "Good" deeds?

Could it be as simple as we've all been created equal in so much that we all deeply desire one and the same "Need" for the recognition of doing or being considered good?

Some might even go as far to suggest such a thing as if the need for, "Recognition for time served"?


Eccl 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He (God) has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
NIV

Was the wording, "They cannot fathom what God has done" to suggest that man is incapable of searching out AND discovering the essence (nature) of their creator or is it more accurate to say that their creator states that the world cannot "Accept" the truth about Him that was sent?

I suppose all one would have do to in order to reject the truth concerning the nature/essence of their creator would be to also reject the representation of His person which has been sent.

Does the said "World" simply Reject or just not Accept the entire consideration of the One that was sent (as the spirit of Truth)? 

Both sound to me as if one and the same opinion or at least as if two opinions that will meet with one and the same end result?

The following depicts those which do accept Him (through faith) as well those (the world) which cannot accept the truth about their Lord (creator).

John 14:16-21
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever — the Spirit of truth

The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him , for he lives with you and will be in you

I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. 

Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 

Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.
NIV

Could it be that deep within a mans soul it cries out for the sake of hearing, "Well done my good and faithful servant"?

Could it be that it's one and the same desire which the one and only Creator also designed or equipped each of us with?

That desire being designed as if a mutually shared desire within our spiritual DNA where we are drawn towards a greater understanding of the word "Need"?

I guess at minimum that notion would require that we All at least be asked One and the same question?

A question which then sets in order our divine nature as if the mutual remedy which one day gets realized as if  the result of a mutual hope that was intended to guide us all to the same conclusion?

We all have a need and it is for the likeness of God, yet not all will interpret this mutual need as it was intended because one and the same truth has NOT been fully accepted.

John 6:45-46
It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God .' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.
NIV

Respectfully yours are the words of your savior Jesus the Christ if only you'll believe the one that was sent to tell you the Truth concerning the realities of YOUR eternal consideration.

Jesus spoke these words to the religious minded leaders that claimed to be aware of God's activities within their midst during the time of His visitation

John 8:19
"You do not know me or my Father," Jesus replied. "If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
NIV

The full consideration you now attempt to enjoy as if a life that gets lived in the Lord is also a life he's also given and sustains.

To live your life as if to consider all that freedom really is in Christ, yet how can one know or converse with Him if they do not acknowledge that He exist within everything they set their mind and hands to do?

The opportunity to consider the entirety of all that Truth is,  if in deed Truth is a person which dwells richly within you.

Matt 10:41
Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
NIV

Is the only thing that's really free in this world the Truth?

In my opinion one of the most needed considerations while being enjoined with a physical existence in this world is the very question that's contained in the above title.

I'm thoroughly convinced that what man is not capable of handling on his own (without outside counsel) is the essence of the very thing he's also the most confused about.

Confused as if to say, "Having been steeped in our OWN understanding (without righteous counsel) which continues to execute feeble attempts as if our only hope of finding ourselves able to relate to a Freedom that is also True".

A freedom that can only be found in a savior (Jesus the Christ) because we've decided to accept the reality that we're not able see or find enjoyment unless it is the Joy of the Lord as our only real strength.

A strength that is also righteous in every thing we set our hands to do and our lips to then speak. As if what we then believe, live and speak is the same Truth which has successfully set us free.

The only truth that can save you from yourself having been caught and trapped by a world full of lies and deception.

A man must first find himself able to see exactly how poor he is and or has been within his own history of somehow finding himself reconciled to the Lord.

A lord that is truly understood and approached as if He is "The Lord" over all that He's also created to include how we each see ourselves through His eyes.

Luke 4:18-19
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, 
to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."  
NIV

There remains a multi-dimensional confusion concerning said "Freedom", yet only because of the taint which Lies in wait as if it is "The Truth".

All one has to do in order to temporarily escape the reality contained in the Truth is to deny the reality which will one day enforce the boundaries which embodies a freedom that is also real.

If there is no such question within the conscience, that individuals actions might as well be considered lifeless or "Without life".

Every culture beneath the sun at some point has adopted the minimal understanding that there is a right and wrong way to approach the consideration for "A life that is presently being lived out".

If not, then why the need for "Law(s)" which are adopted and then implemented (enforced).

One might ask, "How is that true"?

Are laws set in place in order to guide the activities that are being enjoyed within a mutual freedom or are laws enforced so that some won't encroach upon the rights of others whom are also seeking out the discovery concerning the results of having been given the opportunity to experience "Freedom"?

The divine words spoken from the lips of the only living God attempts to expose all humanity to the Truth which can set them free.


John 8:31-32
If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free ."  
NIV

What many cultures refuse to place on their billboards is the over shadowing question, "Why have I been given the opportunity of a physical existence that was originally intended to be enjoyed within a mindset that is in all truth one that is "Free".

Is what is truly Free also to good to be true?


The real weight of such a question rarely gets seriously considered until a persons (continued) physical well being and or existence gets questioned in the light of Truth.

Brought into question to mean, having been exposed to the consideration of death and all that it holds (maintains) as something that's consistent beyond our own omnipresent understanding that's currently being "Enjoyed"

Outside of having truthfully considered the question, "Is there an existence after this present realm of life" one would have to alter what they also accepts as if their own read concerning the Truth.

What is the truth concerning an existence beyond a natural death?

It's the very reality which presently awaits your acceptance concerning the entirety of truth that is real.

As if waiting for the mind of your existence to acknowledge the entirety of all that you've denied as the truth.

It has been written with the ink of righteousness concerning those who know beyond doubt to whom they also must listen to.

Listen in order to one day discover there is only room for the direct results for having accepted the truth that will remain.


Rom 14:7-8
For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
NIV


John 6:45-51
It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.

Is it a simple matter of knowing that a God exist or believing beyond doubt that you are known and loved by the only God that is true and real?

The following words will be a reality for some in another day. A day where there is no longer room for the excuse of having ignored the otherwise obvious aspects which Truth has more than made known to all humanity.


Matt 25:12
"But he replied, 'I tell you the truth , I don't know you.'
NIV
