Signs that get ignored

There are signs in this world and there are SIGNS that are not of this world.

How much of what we do see from one moment to the next has spiritual application and how much gets missed and ONLY later it's attempted to then get re-applied to what happened as though spiritually applicable?

We spend too much time talking about our words and many other things being taken out of context, but what about our "Post" assessment of ourselves?

How do we make sense of what we do see from one moment to the next?

Do we really vacillate that much in our attention span from one point of interest to the next? What is interest and what is an investment and that of ourselves?

I personally don't think being spiritually minded is ONLY about how we see ourselves as spiritual beings. That consideration could be lassoed and corralled by the words "High Minded".

I think being spiritually minded is to be in such a place where the importance as though the being that is the "Mind of Christ" which then dominates our every consideration that passes our physical line of sight and ear shot.

Maybe because our primary investment made is One day or two at best a week in our "Formal Training" do we then find ourselves inept and lacking.

As spiritual beings what do we need in order to experience, encounter or put off this world as though "Primarily" a spiritual existence instead of a being that's focused on how the world see's physical personage as though we alone have hand "Crafted" it?

Some say and accuse in their saying "You're Being is TOO spiritual (or spiritually minded) while trying to understand and find enjoyment in this world"!

Are they not really speaking the truth while leaving OUT a couple of word in that, "Your Being is  TOO spiritual so much that I can't hear where you're coming from"?

The Apostle Paul "Attempts" to speak in his time while here on earth to those left to his care by God. We can read him through and only by way of what he wrote as though studying his person OR we'll try to visualize the ones he was speaking enough that we hope to familiarize ourselves (get comfortable) enough to where we think we understand what he's saying.

How can the unspiritual mind accept what Paul does have to say as though he is a form of a father here on earth? Especially when that same mind that's reading him knows (understands) themselves the same way?

No Church wants to be found like the Church of Corinth do they? If no what must they do in order to hear differently?

Not only What but also How do we see ourselves today as compared?

Which is it though while we "Try" to examine this said "Spiritual minded person" Paul was writing about? Is Paul with us today?

Can you truly answer that without first qualifying whether he is in spirit or physically present?

We can catch a glimpse of this person that needs to be heard in another passage of holy writ, yet only if we're focused on what it is we're looking for. How does someone focus on an invisible spirit if they don't KNOW what they're looking for?

Sometimes the glaringly obvious needs to momentarily fade so that we CAN SEE what may only be being WHISPERED.

I hope that it eventually gets asked though, "How does one SEE what they can ONLY hear?

Acts 8:28-29
The Spirit told Philip, "Go to that chariot and stay near it."   NIV

Acts 8:34
The eunuch asked Philip, "Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?" NIV

First one must answer, is God spirit and does His spirit still speak to men today in any form? The next thought should be "Can I know what His appearance will ALWAYS be LIKE when he does speak"?

As believers we need to know that God is present when his said angels speak. How? Because His angels are only true to HIM and because of that they can only speak what He tells them otherwise they are NOT of Him.

Yet where doubt seems to RULE and steal the moment is in the question, Is God's spirit a direct extension of His person in any form that simply CLAIMS to be speaking for Him?

Are we now without Hope because of what we seem to know better about what our enemy is capable of above and beyond a God we "Say" we know?

There is no other mention of this particular eunuch mentioned in the bible that I've found, yet what are we left to assume that happened in his life beyond his encounter with the words and baptism preented by God's faithful servant in the moment "Phillip"?

Friends taking the time (taking  = wasting time) to assume is a risky investment. Often times such that consumes the true value in being able to hear the voice we NEED to hear which CAN rob from the gift hearing itself.

There are times when the inquiry must be made, but just as important the one we're asking must be entrusted with our spiritual set of ears so that our spiritual eyes can see? 

Not such an easy task these days is it, especially in a world of when and where so many different sounding voices are stating what they claim is the same thing in the Name and for the sake of said unity to be found In Christ (a corporate Being that's compelled by the voice of one mind)?

Is Christ divided? Absolutely Not! 

Did Christ come to to divide? 

We must individually decide if that's what He truly said to our spiritual existence and as if for the futures sake of our Soul we personally love to "Love" so much more.

When we leave something or a place behind what does that suggest we've done? We've left for the sake of  "What"? 

Now ask the same question about the same thing yet only differently, "Did we abandon something having left it behind as though open acknowledgement to our claim of ownership? 

How important then does our "Intent" in doing so rush into that same consideration? How can we hide our intent? 

Who will know "Who" we were thinking about should our intention(s) be found out?

Humanity will only follow his own logic so far, yet at what point does it prove to be "wisdom" where we've abandon the logic that lead us to where are?

It is written that Jesus the Christ the Son of God that was crucified IS the Power and WISDOM of God. 

Are we now without excuse for what we are as though absent the availability of true wisdom in ALL things? 

Can we say in all truth when we do what we do, "I did not Know" or is the truth "I denied Knowing as if the HOPE that I would not be found OUT? How long will we deny Christ through our claims made concerning what we all seem to know better then the Christ we say we serve?

John 17:3

Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

NIV

Found "Out" of what though? 

That we've been out of a cage like some wild animal or "Out of The will of God as though our truthful life and eternity In Him depended on it"? 

Surely there is repentance and thank God daily for it too, yet we've not only been called to repentance have we? What about acceptance of what we once were and who we now ARE having been first made AWARE of having been found to BE IN CHRIST and Christ In us?

If what we say is True in that we simply forgot when we do sin, what have we confessed and just confirmed with our own words? Do we then become the poster child of forgetfulness who continues in that forgetfulness as though rulers in a world of insanity?

Are we simply reading words on paper? Are we being told what words on paper are REALLY saying above and beyond what the spirit of God is saying? Take a little here and add a little there to take the edge off the sword?

Are we as believers being trained to hear the voice that is trying to speak to us AND be HEARD above and from beyond all voices that are speaking at what seems to be the same time?

If you understand God the way He's explained Himself by way of ALL and through ALL that He's created, you can hear a blade of grass tell you what you need to know in any moment He's also given.

Put away your dull sword

2 Cor 3:14
But their minds were made dull , for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read.
NIV

The bible records a radiance (glory) that shown from the face of Moses when He came down the mountain after being in the presence of God.

Have you ever asked "What could make the radiance on the face of Moses as though a symbol of something that's also found itself in need of being covered"?

Was it only because he'd vacated the presence of God?

Could it have been in part for the sake of those He found himself in the midst of a who struggled to find themselves accepted of God?

Is it possible his placement of a veil over his face was just as important for us today who read the apostle Paul where He mentions something He calls the "The Same Veil"?

Read the following words from a man also known as the "Teacher". Read this passage and then ask yourself, would not the wise man (teacher) "Sharpen the Ax" before attempting to cut wood with dull edge?

Eccl 10:10

If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success.

NIV

If the teacher is thought wise and if the teacher is trying to teach a lesson, would it be a fair question to ask if this particular lesson is one on "How to cut wood"?

I've also heard the following quoted as though all true, simply because of where the following words can be found.

Eccl 10:19
.....money is the answer for everything.
NIV

Why doesn't the interpretation always reveal wisdom?

Wisdom doesn't need context in order to teach because wisdom is surrounded by context at all times. 'The wise" needs only for the student to remain willing to be sharpened and to hold true for whose sake wisdom has been dispensed.

Surely the sword of Goliath which we later find in the hands of a young man named David was not dull. At least up to Goliath's encounter with David, his sword had never failed to serve him or his intentions enough that he was feared abroad.

Let's take a look at the said "Sword of the Spirit" along these same lines.

Many can accept the claim made that the words emphasized in red within the bible were also spoken from the mouth of a person named Jesus. An even smaller number can accept the thought that the spoken and written words of the Apostle's were given (assigned) to them by the Holy Spirit.

Much like the sword taken from Goliath that had failed to slay David, why do those same words (as though a sword) find themselves virtually inept (powerless) once placed in the possession of the said "believers" personality today?

Many will say, "They had something back then that is no longer available today" or "Such displays of power passed away with the Apostles"!

I refuse to apologize for what you're about to read, but I can't accept that at face value unless we first ask and truthfully answer, "What is it about those their Godly filled personalities that's missing today"?

Clearly they made it a point to declare it was not "Their" power being put on display whenever we read about God doing things through them.

IF what they declared concerning the display of power is true, then once again I'll ask only about the residuals that are left to consider, "What did their personalities have that we don't have today?

When I ask that question I mean as compared to the life (personality) of a believer today that claims to have "Encountered" and know well enough to give their savior "Jesus THE Christ" the glory?

If not openly let's at least be honest in our semi private thought life.

Let me ask this, "As compared to then has sin decreased today? Also compared to the first century attributes of the body of Christ has said "Faith" been on the constant increase to this day?

How does one measure either?

Did Jesus address them the way He did because they had just met Him or was it that they had been with Him longer than a day?

Matt 15:16-20

"Are you still so dull ?" Jesus asked them. "Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.' 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 book of Jude is relatively small if volume were the only comparative, yet is the Holy Spirit capable of indwelling all that believe in Christ at the same time?

Jude 5-7
Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. (who are the those he's talking about? In this writing was he only speaking of those from antiquity that fell in the desert?)

And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home — these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. (Who are the "these" and "They's" he keeps drawing our minds to in order to compare?)

In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. (How can "They' serve those of the US group who say that we believe and are found in Christ"?) NIV

Here we find these same personalities he keeps describing. He doesn't give them specific names, instead he pronounces the title they've captured from their hearers.

Jude 12-13
These men are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm — shepherds who feed only themselves.

They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted — twice dead. They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.
NIV

He doesn't call them fellow sheep, instead he calls them men, blemishes and refers to them as "Shepherds who feed only themselves".

Far to often the smaller things go undetected. How does that compare to what we refuse to revisit concerning what we say we no beyond doubt?

Is there such a thing as false humility?

Wouldn't we first need to know what "True" humility looks like in terms of a personality placed on display?

Many enjoy being "First" in their daily business here on earth, yet there's only ONE original in everything that's that's considered "New".

Though the in coming king can still do what the "Old" (departed) king did (rule), can the "New" King that has promised to make all things new be removed from his throne?

I suppose he could IF that kings begins to take on the likeness of the old King.

Many can train their voice to sound like another or even groom their features to appear as another.

With respect to "Sincerity" how frequently does this quality get turned on and off in order to serve the moment at hand in our lives?

Jude 14-16
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him."

These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
NIV

We will blame the demise of an Ecosystem on the ones that are in charge (headship). When the teacher puts up their best defense we'll find OURSELVES blaming parents when we see THEIR kid doing bad things.

But can we as believers that are also being Truthful blame God when we find ourselves being poor interpreters of His word?

Who do we then turn to IF it's all His doing? Who could we blame if we've been busy being about God business while going to work and or raising a family?

Consider the food chain or the chain of command of an army, whose to blame when followers don't find themselves where they don't WANT or THINK they SHOULD be?

Honestly ask yourself, who else is there to blame for what you say you don't when you find yourself living in a world of hurt where God is at the controls of everything that takes place in our lives.

What more need be said for the need of a savior that is More than able?

Wake up you creation of God Most High and let the light of truth shine upon you!

Preservation of truth

"Those which deny divine wisdom as part of their history are bound to repeat it"

Okay so I changed or added a few words to it, but did it redirect the essence of the message sent?

I guess the weight of that answer would depend on who's judging our motives.

What if our assumed motives for being where ever it is that we find ourselves from one moment to the next were "Wrong"? 

What if our thought life turned out to be the seed(s) from which our actions were conceived and then given birth into this world? 

How much of what we do has been prompted and continues to be directed by the voice of the Lord and how much of our thoughts have stemmed from a corrupt thought life (approach to life)? 

More pointedly, who is the beneficiary of our words and actions?

If it were true, for what reason(s) would you suppose that the book of "truth" is not found here in the earth? 

Why does Holy writ place truth not only at the right hand of God that also resides in Heaven? Not that truth hasn't visited us, but much like an original copy of anything thought valuable, where is such usually kept?

What if the claim is made that our implicit day to day activities as though the the NET result(s) of our being, were never informed that YOU are wrong? Who do we then blame? 

Do we blame those that did NOT teach? Should the full weight of that question fall squarely on the shoulders of those that were not willing to listen?

Where is the presence of truth here in the earth and how does one search for it if it's rarely found?

In terms of accountability, "Blame" is simply a revised wording for the mismanaged potential of "Shame". It's real simple, just swap the first two letters. 

Seriously though, in this world when there is no shame present, is it even possible for someone to convict themselves of a wrong? At what point does the dynamics of Shame cease to be considered a "Good" thing?

What could cause a persons reasoning to lead them into behavior which God might interpret as the "Suppression" of the truth? 

How could the reasoning behind someones behavior hold out in the hope, that their perpetuated behavior would also eventually result in its acceptance?

There are times when what follows directly behind the word "Because", should be taken seriously yet only when such an inquiry has been based upon "By whose authority"?

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

Is what God considers and has termed to be "Evil" taken too lightly these days? Are we becoming more guilty OR less often convicted each day of somehow "Suppressing" that which was and still is true in Heaven?

What could hope to stand in opposition to the presentation and performance of the "Truth"?

What if someone were looking for a "WAY" to take the edge off of or maybe the bite out of the word "Evil"?

How might they go about it? 

If being found to be "Wrong" were to interpret in the mind of a righteous God to be something that is evil, what would that assessment then "Re-define" as we go about our daily "Affairs"? 

Would it redefine the inner activity of our thought life? Would that candle only be held up next to our chosen actions that we hope are also the only ones being observed? 

Under that premise of constructive criticism, could holding ones peace concerning what God has to say about what is "Wrong" with us also be considered "Evil"?

Yeah, I know I can hear it now, "But who likes a critic"? 

Where then does Love that only God defines and IS, come into the room as a voice to consider?

Just how deep of an examination of ones own life does that opening phrase suggest?

Especially when it's clearly understood that the essence of pride when accompanied by ignorance can become our own worst enemy?

How does one prove that they "believe" anything that's been said? 

Who then becomes the center stage as if the venue of a performance which also "Proves" to be in agreement with what's been said?

What truly has the "Actor" (performer) rendered while on stage?


John 8:15-16
You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one. But if I do judge, my decisions are right, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me. NIV

Is the essence of that passage written in red also your life mandate?

If you neglect to receive the spoon that feeds the inward desire as if the Hope of being seen as a son (child) of God, can you ever "Truthfully" expect to hear (receive) wisdom in the moment from Him?

 Revered counsel as though He is your trust worthy heavenly Father that is also willing to give a more excellent counsel that is also above what you presently might NOT be in possession of?

Firstly, how can a person ever come to know Him (or anyone for that matter) as if that part of them that is real and ALIVE that same said "being" deny's? 

The part of them that desires to exist and be seen as alive, active and sharper than any two edged sword?

Jesus as the Christ (anointed savior of mankind) was and still is "The Prime Example" of a Father and Son relationship, yet what "Continues to confirm that same relationship enough to where it's is known by others to be "True"?

True enough to where that same example will prove to be "Undeniable" when everything to include our spoken words will be judged?

Food for thought or Food that has zero nutritional value?

In the event of the Life you've been "Given", the opportunity to decide who is right in everything you look to do IS part of that gift?

Always remember when considering the evidence of what God has said as to whether YOUR opinion has reflected or rejected His own words. Yet, also remember that same evidence you're hoping to present can and will be used against you if you were "Wrong".

"What does the evidence of Your life prove"?

Is God right in every instance or has any part of your performance refused to change while hoping to somehow prove "wrong" that which is said to be "Right"?

Self governance is not always the response, unless of course you hold the reigns on that which is :right.

Thank God that he didn't ask us to "Make" the Tree, but in His tender mercy He has allowed us the opportunity to become the Fruit!

Could the beginning of our story among the "Trees" have always been about which one(s) we should not eat from?

Some questions simply remain "Bound" in time which becomes our hsitory, yet know first and foremost that God requires a life as a "Being" that is being lived in such a manner that it proves Him as the only Righteous One.

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.
NIV

Matt 12:33-37

"Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.

You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.

But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
NIV

Why all the "Fuss" over the use of words?

When a person discovers the real power behind the use of words, there should be a time of serious reflection as to what those words look like in a persons future that is void of God. (SW)

Forever is a long time yet only a small percentage of that time is "Being" enjoyed as though an eternal reality which has been "truly" lived. (SW) 

As long as there are E-motions that are also human in their nature, the demand placed upon words will never be diminished. (SW)

The man that remains convinced that Gods "Way" was intended to remain a mystery, what hope should he then have of putting to Godly use the gift(s) he has been given. (SW)

The lack wisdom will eventually suffer when "Truth" is not accepted as though it were never dispensed. (SW)

When asked, "What possessed you to say such a thing", that person should consider it a serious question from above about what has been stated as though assumed to be "Truth". (SW)

Is there such a thing as a "Lie" that comes from above everything that is an eternal matter. (SW)

God does not confuse men, yet men confuse what God intended to be from the same heart. (SW)

When is the blood of another NOT found on the hands of the innocent and when is that assumption considered to be true in the eyes of God. (SW)

1 Peter 4:11
If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. NIV

The promotion of this passage is not to suggest that one go about simply verbalizing King James scripture. 

Instead it's being suggested that such a person remain willing to strive for and live as though an exhibit of what these words were intended to manifest as to then "Be" expressed.

How hard is it to give away something that is not yours as well take it home (to heart) if it's not a righteous gift.

That's not to mention what might have been wrongfully "Taken" from someone else to include their spoken "Words"

Western "Culture" would have the likes of Socrates, Plato and Darwin feed our understanding, yet are they not just men equipped with a  mind, imagination and the gift of questioning which hopes to expound upon their own reasoning?

Just suppose for a moment that these men individually missed their eternal calling and that same calling was their responsibility to discover the truth and for the benefit of others they found listening to them?

Meaning they each may have put to use their God gifted abilities, but NOT according to what God intended for them to be as if for the dispensation of something more as a divine intention..

Granted, they each had something at their disposal in the form curiousity and strong will enough to where they found themselves broadcasting their thought life as though absolute (truth), yet what fueled their seeming success?

Is it not simply the appetite for the answers to the "Unknown" as though the solving of a mystery?

The Apostle Paul makes mention in scripture concerning the inclusion of an "Unknown God" as though it were a gesture (idol) that had been crafted just in case something got left out of the God factoring.

What did the Apostle Paul do prior to his revelation received concerning what he whole "Heartily" believed and committed himself to?

Was he thoroughly convinced that he was presently doing Gods (bidding) business here in the earth while sternly ordering and watching Christians be imprisoned and be put to death? When I read what Paul spoke of himself and his resume, what I hear is that of a man that was "All In" meaning fully invested.

If those 3 men mentioned above DID miss their (Divine) calling, how might their lack of divine contribution now effect (or infect) "Our" mutual history as though the result(s) which stemmed from their verbalized and recorded beliefs?

A belief system that did NOT come from the specific voice that has "Made" it His practice since the beginning to broadcast only that which is "True"?

Why would God who is also incapable of lying, suggest that some would be held accountable for blood shed of those that He sent to warn mankind?

In terms of responsibility and participation, how could He "Hold" them responsible since the event of their blood shed took place "before" they were even physically born?

Luke 11:49
Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, NIV

Now back to the three personalities mentioned in mankind's history, where is God in the midst of their philosophical approach as though a more precise discovery portal through which others might follow in order to find what is "True"?

Just how narrow is the way through which God intends to lead mankind to the "Truth"?

Is that way not only through the precise, undiminished and prescribed terms of acceptance concerning the "Net" results of a life lived by one man? Namely God the "Christ"?

Today how much residuals would you suppose still exist of what these three men committed to our social mindset through the use of words? 

(As a side bar, the above question as narrow as it is was not drafted with the intent to somehow excuse the multitude of other voices that cry out from antiquity to the contrary of all that truth is and does while here in the earth).

How much of what they broadcast (preached) actually interferes with the mandate which governs truth that also holds time in its grip which visited humanity in the form of this Man named Jesus?

Just how important is "One" life that's been "Truthfully" lived?

Just how much concerning truth helps shape and form (Inform) any "Beings" Identity whether human or not?

Is it simply what many agree with in the form of a legacy left behind? If yes can that legacy be manipulated by the scribe enough so that it somehow changes all that's "Being" recorded in Heaven?

Could it be that a mans identity IS his "Present" life that's "Being" lived? Divinely so as such which gets recorded "Accurately" and is left undisturbed?

Is it only what one believes that makes them "Who" they are or is it what gets recorded about them that makes it true?

Is it simply the "Who" a man assumes that he is as compared to the "Truth" OR is a man only "What" His creator has "Proven" him to be which is then witnessed by others?

How does one show themselves "Approved" by God while at the same time find themselves approved by "Men"? Jesus "Performed" miracles yet ALL that "Witnessed" them were not convinced of His identity.

How much would a mans ability to relate to others also "Prove" to be a prerequisite concerning His identity that is also "True"?

John 1:11-13
He (Jesus) came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him .

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. 
NIV

2 Cor 2:15-17
For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

To the one we are the smell of death ; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task?

Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit.

On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God.
NIV

The importance of knowing a mans origins play a major role as though a participant in what that same man believes, says and does.

All of which as mentioned falls short of just how influential those 3 then prove to be as though the power to influence others as the "need" to turn to God for the truth..

1 Peter 1:23
For you have been born again , not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
NIV

Just think how lofty a man could think of himself today if he also believed his origins began as that of an ape or a fish?

Without the consideration of his creator, would he then survey his history to then reach the conclusion which speaks, "Look how far I've come" and without a said "God"?

Is it still any wonder why "History" will not release its grip upon the hearts and minds of men?

That grip to mean such that presents itself as though a gift, yet places conditions upon such a gift "Before" it gets completely released?

History should NOT be our teacher, instead the Holy Spirit directed by the words of God should be.

WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) sounds good on paper as such that finds itself able to conjure a thought, yet as such that is void of what God has to say, what truly does one hold onto as though an image of themselves?

I find it fascinating that the eyes of a man will never behold his own image outside of that which gets presented in the form of a reflection. Glass though it may be an inanimate mirror, it's still only able to reflect the image of a being.

Believing in anything requires the harmonious alignment of a mans will (the gate keeper of the mind) which finds itself in agreement with the "said" evidence that's being presented..

Just how powerful are words that are void of the energy of our "Emotions"?

Especially when that question trails on the heels of the notion that might suggest, "Emotions are the energy produced" based on all that we've believed which then compels us to take action (Perform) in a "Specific manner".

What of the word "Zeal" or "Spirit" when they're used to express the energy found behind a given series of words sequenced together as the utterance?

Exactly where are the origins (the essence) of a mans emotional fervor?

Are emotions simply responses derived from the combined chemistry of the things consumed by a man that have taken up residency within his body?

I might agree with that philosophy as long as the essence of what is "Heard & Seen" are included in the list of things "Consumed' (Namely the heart of God in the form of His words consumed).

Jesus attempted to make clear that "It" is NOT what goes into a man that makes him unclean. Instead it's what comes out of a man's "Mouth" that makes him unclean (sinful).

Matt 15:11
What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean ,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean .'"
NIV

Is a persons life (being) the combined outward responses of "Only' the body or does a persons reasoning weigh in at some point?

What has shaped (informed) that reasoning as though an "Ability" that's been dispensed?

Even as the Lord came as a 3 part being into the realm of this world, so too is our earth bound reflection of Him that is "Now" supposed to be dominated by the re-born spiritual man birthed within (Christ In You).

The tough question (here it comes), Where's the evidence that event (birthing) took place?

Is the presence of such a rebirth evidenced by words alone which testify to the presence of that new identity found within?

Or is that presence born as though a silent and deaf presence (mute)?

Jesus said, 'My sheep hear my voice" as well He says below.

John 15:9-12

"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
NIV

What commentary that is also "Effectual" could possibly argue on behalf of the personage that has proven themselves to be as though someone that is deaf, dumb and or blind?

In the light of having accepted all that truth says that He is, it still leaves the question on the table, "which part of that 3 part being is the dominate voice which compels your over all "Presence" (being) to act in a specific manner?

Do we truly believe, 'You are what you eat" or that our body responds to "What we eat"?

Have we been reduced to "What we are is the manifested result of what we've believed or is there a more accurate assessment (being) made from above?

I suppose one would have to at least be willing to accept there is a God and that God came to mankind in the same form.

Does what you personally believe about that same God also cause Him to manifest as truth in your life that you also revere or maybe highly esteem?

A 'Philosophy" outside of truth that's founded upon mans experience is a farce, yet a philosophy that's governed by the Truth has been deemed worthy of a never ending investigation.(SW)

The phrase "Christ compels me" gets used allot these days, yet how much of what gets accredited to the accounting methods of Christ is actually true?

Have you ever said something to someone and later discovered (or justified) after realizing it was perceived as "Offensive" that it was simply put, "Taken" the wrong way"?

How much of what we do say and do, eventually proves to be something Christ has said that'e been "Taken" from Christ the wrong "Way"?

Would that make Him or you a foreigner each of which are located at the same address?

If it could ever be established in ones mind that the truth is "Never" wrong how easy would it be for someone to over step their boundaries as if an "Abuse" of that same power?

There's power to be found at the end of your arm.

Next time you remember who YOU claim also lives inside of YOU also remember you have a hand that is capable of covering YOUR mouth that's speaking.

If the author of the following words were believed to be from Christ also spoken by Christ from within the confines of a man, what else might be seen, heard and understood?

Christ In You?

Ps 34:1-5
I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.

I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
NIV

Getting to know the real friend in You

Could getting to know the real you be as simple of an exercise of knowing "How" to choose your friends?

That is to say, "Should a friend simply be considered someone that will allow you to be you" OR someone that you're willing to allow to be themselves at any given moment?

When I say "Themselves" I hope to suggest someone that is strong enough to "Act" upon their own impulse even if that means vacating your presence in order to make their point should you over step the boundaries which have defined them as if they truly are your friend.

How true is this proverb, yet only when a brother is defined as one which comes from the same womb?

Prov 17:17
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity . NIV

When does someone become an adversary?

Have you ever found something within Your person that's also acting outward as if your own enemy?

What if after reading the passage below you find yourself to be or have been your OWN enemy in a matter?

Have you ever thought that what also might be being suggested, is that in order to truthfully love your self you must also pray for Your self and NOT only for others?

Wouldn't a true friend also be willing to point out that your thinking and or acting in such a manner as if you are an enemy unto yourself?

As if to say there's something coming from within you which also opposes the process where you might otherwise discover a more in depth relationship with your creator as well the "Who" He intended you to become?

Do you always find yourself  "Innocent" when judging others?

Have you been a friend unto yourself by quickly recognizing certain things within you that have caused you to act in a certain manner which also attempt to oppose your justification for having done so?

Matt 13:38-39
The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. NIV

In the event when you were being "Truthful" with yourself after having discovered and then labeled the thing (opinion) at work within YOU, did you also conclude that your thoughts toward God were hostile?

That is to suggest, "under the terms where you actually consider yourself to be His child"?

Have you ever found yourself being internally persecuted for attempting to defend the thoughts and ways of God?

So much that those thoughts and values prove themselves to be sovereign (the things you've allowed to be Lord over you)?

It's way too easy to externalize instructions that were intended to be for us. It's much easier to exempt ourselves to then see instructions as if only applicable to those around us (in the world).

Those type of things being done we truly and deeply say to ourselves that we despise?

If so, then ask yourself, "Am I capable of being or acting out as if my own enemy"?

Matt 5:43-45
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy . But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. NIV

Have you ever acted as if your own judge and jury when surveying your own life that has taken on the form of your thoughts and words placed into actions?

Who gets to establish what defines an adversary and who is it that gets to "Enjoy" the definition assigned to the word "Friend"?

Labels are important, yet they're only as important as we are willing to allow their meaning to govern how we act concerning the deeper truth which also "Respects" their meaning.

How might one adopt and put to use the true value found within the word "Sanity"?

Does one simply accept at face value how the world around us labors in order to define it?

I'm of the opinion that said "Life" was intended to be the formal investigation of not only words, but also their divine realization.

That is to say the deeper meaning (truth) found in their midst which then "Take" affect and manifest through us as an identity which then finds itself made ready to be divinely effectual while in this place being called the "World"?

The question still remains though, who gets to sit in the seat as if the CEO seat which presides over the worlds "Word Bank"?

Such a Bank or place of deposit where anything we do say or think can in turn somehow find itself redeemed.

What many fail to ask of themselves is, "What has OR has not been placed in you as if a deposit"?

Many people today seem intimidated by their own thought life.

It's as if they have to either expose themselves to a wide array of surrounding opinions to where their own opinion gets "Lost" OR they have to work over time until they find sweet spot where their own opinion gets more highly esteemed above and beyond others.

Alone should be redefined as "Time spent time with our own undisturbed thoughts".

Dis-tractions which can rob us of the opportunity where we actually do get to know "Ourselves".

Basically a process where our "Person" which has aged and hopefully matured (i.e. Person-age) also then begins to value time alone where the lessor things fade away even if only for a moment.

I'm also of the opinion which suggest that maturity is a place in time where we can find "Ourselves" as if a place where we've proven our independence.

Such a place where we ARE able to (manufacture) somehow string together a multitude of those tiny moments enough to where we find enjoyment when we really "WANT" to.

They key is? Finding yourself able to accomplish this task alone if need be.

Don't get me wrong as if I'm suggesting being alone is the ONLY way to enjoyment because we all know that would deny our fellow man.

What I'm suggesting as if the question "Who do we rely on from one moment to the next in order to find enjoyment"?

Isa 30:19-21
How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."
NIV

I think more often than not people get caught up in the tangled web where the center of their focus gets placed upon "How the world sees them" as opposed to coming to realize the truthful reflection which actually speaks to the ears of our person, "How we see ourselves in the eyes of a creator as if OUR GOD"?

Col 1:27-28
To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you , the hope of glory.

We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
NIV

Do we need to discover who the word "Brother" includes? 

And do we also need to revisit the word "Everyone" which attempts to suggest the opportunity afforde to all, where only the freedom that is found in Christ then proves to be the grace given?

Having been given such a great task which is then realized impossible without the full magnitude of what God desires accomplished by way of His grace to do so?

Judge for yourself the only friend that is true at all times The only friend that is full of truth that also desires to love you from within.

Consider the thing(s) you've denied about yourself that might also prove to be true in the end. When you do, also understand the "Need" we all have for a savior.....

Jesus the Christ who can save you from the worst of enemies even if it proves to be "Yourself"!

Entering Into what God knows

Realizing that you've passed through a "New" doorway is more than simply crossing a threshold. It's when you realize your reasoning only suits where you once were.

The soul of man does many different things for just as many different reasons.

In one moment he might plunder his circumstances having failed to stop and consider how his desires and actions could "eventually" affect himself or others.

While in the next he allows the reckless abandonment that's been governed by surrounding opinion(s) to over ride sound reasoning without considering having departed the eyes of the Lord.

It's easy to say "God is watching", yet how easy is to know what God is thinking in terms of His response(s) having observed your behavior?

Is beautiful truly the state of "Ignor-ance" or is ignorance like casting only a "Glance" at something assumed to be of little value? When was the last time you bent over and picked up a lonely penny?

If only the thought that God was watching prevents us from acting a certain way, then corrupt reasoning might suggest specific ways to forget the weight of that very thought.

What is it about our creator humanity seems to Love so much more than the "All" they don't really want to know about Him?

Has man "Fallen" more in love with a God that is seemingly silent and or not present except in times where individual "Needs" are perceived?


In so much that his children continually refuse to get to know Him as if their creator as well His intent and purposes for having created them?

Is it not the path of least resistance taken when we paint God to be the personage that also desires that He remains a mystery within our lives because we consider such things as too "Personal"?

How can you Love what you don't know? Ask any small child to embrace and love two parental icons they also "Know" nothing about?

Matt 22:37-38
"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'  This is the first and greatest commandment.
NIV

Can sound reasoning throw all of the "Does and Don'ts" (laws) out the window and still have any real vision for what a creator wants?

More specifically as it pertains to hearing the "Yes and Amen" from God that's found embedded within His intentions for us?

Imagine having a parent that was "Deaf, Dumb and Blind"? If mischief found its way into your mind how easy would it be to see yourself getting "Away" with just about anything YOU wanted to do?

Where would respect find itself if "hot" is thought of without there being "cold"? Where would the day find itself without the night that approaches?

Where would "Yes" be without the respect that's due for the possibility of receiving a "No"?

We're told to resist the Devil and he will flee "From us as we turn to God (our creator), yet our corrupt nature seems to enjoy its own version of "Victory" from one moment to the next.

Do most just want to assume they've maintained there stealthy approach was quiet enough to where they're able to snatch their (God given) "Free Will" from His hand to then run away as fast as they can and do with that same "Free Will" as they so desire (however reckless that might be)?

Try to picture a large steel ball resting on the level crest of a steep graded hill. The weight of its mass keeps it balance stationary until something external comes along which also proves to be able to influences it's mass enough it then begins to move.

Mankind can grasp most of the prevailing laws of gravity, speed, inertia as long as the consideration of such laws pertain to observing something other than himself.

How aware is he though with respect to timing (time)?

Once he puts himself in motion while assuming he's also being pressed down upon the face of the earth being held safely stationary by that same force?

When do the "Laws" come into affect? Is it only where there is risk involved?

Man was made to move around or else we would resemble sticks with no movable joints.

Man was not created to be a robot either which is where the need for "Faith" comes in as we take up and put to use our "Free Will" to say, act and do.

The only "Will" that is also "Free" is found as the mind of Christ. One that only desires and does as it see's the Father doing. All other wills are those that do NOT perceive themselves as having been mastered.

Does man only forget until he falls down? Does he only remember when he jumps off ? Or is that he only remembers when the net results of his own (naked) reasoning are no longer comfortable?

From day to day most try to govern themselves by the said Golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" yet does that standard maintain its consistency in every scenario while passed along?

I'm not exactly sure about the context through which the above phrasing came into being , but it's definitely been misinterpreted in light of the way it's outward expressions are being broadcast and those "Net" results which are then passed along to the next person.

That rule of  "self" was valid while the Laws was the government of that process, yet a greater rule has come because the Law as if the governance was taken away (fullfilled).


Col 2:13-15
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross . And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
NIV

This was said of the mouth of Jesus our savior (Christ).


John 13:34
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
NIV

In terms of "learning" I'm of the opinion one can only follow the example that's been set before them, yet it still requires the inner desire (esteem) of the recipient to want to emulate that same example.

Is it because of the potential influence as if a "Controlled Substance" that has been revealed to them OR is it because this type of person only desires the net result(s) which then manifest because of what they have "Done"?


Eph 5:28
He who loves his wife loves himself .
NIV

What if the same fashioned thought was molded to fit how we consider God as if our Love? What if we were to think on Him in terms loving Him is to Love ourselves?

How much of "Self" can be given away before there is nothing left to give?

How much of God was given away at the risk of being thought a "Shame" (waste) in the eyes of many?

What of those that have a poor understanding and know little about the importance of loving themselves?

Where does it leave them within their understanding?

At what point does a persons reasoning recognize themselves as if an "Enemy" of Love?

That's not to mention the inability (unfamiliarity) of others that are unable to recognize the "Truest" expression of Love never having truly enjoyed its company.

A heart is hardened when that heart considers itself "Unloved".

What if they then take that same standard that's been drafted from their own reasoning to then exert that measure in their "Doing unto others" as if they are "Doing" unto themselves?

What if such a person is only "doing" (operating) in the fashion in which they were shown how to do?

Would that make their "Teacher" responsible or should it cause the question to arise "Were they ever taught differently"?

Eph 5:25-28
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself .
NIV

I can understand trusting "Doing unto others" as if unto the Lord, yet not always unto mankind as he has done unto us. That is to say the very words many pray daily. Why though? Is it because others have been found unworthy at our own discretion? 

What if the Lord followed such a rule to the place where He only loved us when we were lovable? Would we then still find Him on the cross?

Luke 11:4
Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
NIV

Is it possible that much of the compromise we encounter today as believers is due to the standard of measure being used within the Golden rule?

What if we are doing nothing more than what we hate most when others do the same thing?

Enough to where we hear, "Who are you to tell me anything" or "Who gave you the right to tell me anything"? As if their telling you and I, "I've peered into your life and your ways and I don't see the evidence of God's grace at work being exhibited through you"!

Stop and think for a moment about what was just shared.

Is their own summation about the contrast between Gods Grace and your behavior not enough to convict what they in inadvertently just admitted knowing enough to judge you?

Rest assured of this, that no matter how crafty a man thinks he is through his own reasoning he will not escape what God knows about him.

Today in lite of there being so many different opinionated theology's, how (in the scope of sanity) might adopting this rule ever have any real hope of also "ruling" over (influencing) the behavioral habits of an ever growing population which seem to be in love with "Justifying" their own actions?

Why are people so afraid of different factions when they do come along? Whether politically motivated or religious based ideology, how influential are they and why? Is it that such a mindset looks to protect the freedom found within our own choosing?

Jesus came into this world to accomplish specific things. He also made it known to man the "Why" he would be put to death and for no reason other than to silence Him having found himself as hated by a specific faction of humanity.

Here's what is recorded as His own words concerning the interest of all His activity while here on earth.

John 15:24
If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin.
NIV

How often do said infractions (sin) we seem to worry about when others perform in such a way do those same things eventually become our own "Secretly" realized responses towards each other?

Maybe instead of using buzz word such as "Infractions" to describe them maybe they should be labeled "Infections"?

I remember hearing for the first time years ago in the late 60's and early 70's, "If it feels good do it"! Today I can see where the adoption of that same mentality has crept its way into the homes and minds of many.

 When I say into the homes and minds of many I'm not suggesting those who already reject Jesus as Lord and their Savior while doing all that they choose to do.

My question is, "Does the Golden rule need rewording to fit contemporary said "Christian" reasoning OR does the standard embedded within the Golden Rule need to be revisited?

John 13:34
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
NIV

Jesus also said, It's easy to Love those who Love you" yet he did not say those that loved Him were the only ones that that He would Love. In His wisdom He defines those that Love Him as those that will obey what He taught.

Do children outside of a stable home have any real chance of finding the right way among such confusion? Without a the foundations of Christian like mindedness, how "Could" they make sense of the ocean of opinions?

I use the word confusion in an effort to describe an environment that has become so very cluttered with as many different opinions as there are people.

Today due to so many different opinions it would depend upon "Who" is being asked to define the said "Stable" home environment? Who is right (righteous) and who is in error?


Unfortunately in order to answer that question the home would first have to be redefined as such that is also acceptable before the inquiring minds could respond. Otherwise it would be back to business as usual.


That same "Who" then becomes the watchful eye that helps shape and form the delicate minds of so many that need more time, guidance and training in order to establish their own "reasoning" abilities which are then placed up for consideration as if they are "Righteous".

So many different opinions that have found themselves on the "Loose" are going not only after the minds (opinions) of children, but also at a much younger age.

Children are being handed this said "Golden" rule as if they are those which are also in their "Golden" years as if they already know so much more.

If there were a spooky part, it's that they (youth) actually "Believe" the empowerment of that rule as if they are the standard of "measure" being applied (unto themselves). As if that notion will protect them from all the bad possibilities that are "Out there".

The sad part in the form of a question is, "Who has seduced them with such reasoning abilities enough that that measuring instrument now rules them in their decisions being made"?

Much like the progress of the industrial age, those that have managed themselves to the point and place in time where they find themselves not only in control of the natural resources but also the needed labor force this epidemic seems to follow.

As do most good things in life most things start out with the best intentions, yet once the notion of the underlying "Influential" power truly gets realized all reasoning that was "Good" then gets thrown out.

I'm of the opinion that some of the most corrupt minds out there have since come to realize, "We can sell anything to the people because they'll see it as something they also assume they need".

What are they abusing? What they know all to well as the weaknesses of our humanity.

It has been said of the Gospel of Christ and His kingdom that it's the "Almost Too Good to be True News".

Jesus was once asked by a representative of humanity what must be done to inherit eternal life?

Was this man called a certain ruler because He too assumed that he "Ruled" over his own life and the requirements that need be met in order to receive eternal life?

How well do you Know God?

Better yet "How well do you assume He Knows You" as a reflection of himself?


Luke 18:18-20
A certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

"Why do you call me good ?" Jesus answered. "No one is good — except God alone. You know the commandments:
NIV

Living in a world that doesn't see itself as part of the Problem

It's one thing to "Assume" an opinion about the concluding results of a matter and it's another thing to "Presume" the conclusion of a matter is the direct result of your own history.

Is it silly to assume this high arching episode of creation is an event that's all about God (Our creator) wanting and having "Children"?

Would your opinion carry any weight that is also "Real" not also require you having been present when the whole thing began?

If we all came from the same womb would that not also make us all brothers and sisters?

How difficult is it then to try and fathom that some of the said"Us" will eventually end up in the confinement of Hell?

It's easy to suggest that we're all God's children, but I want to challenge your thought life a little more with a few questions should you be curious enough to continue to read.

Who are Gods children and what qualifies them as God's children?

Who of those same said "Children" are going to Hell and for what reason (or lack of reasoning that is also righteous)?

What have you done with the opportunity to repent which God has made available as the span of time you've also enjoyed?

Who are the children (objects) of wrath and who are the children of righteousness (by way of the promise made by God)?

Are you a subject of His mercy or an object of His wrath? Are you one of "Them" or are you one of "His" (own/owned)?


Rom 9:8
In other words, it is not the natural children who are God's children NIV

Eph 2:3-5

All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath . But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions — it is by grace you have been saved. NIV

Will it be for ONLY one of the following reasons or all of them which are considered to be targets of Gods wrath which IS coming?

Will it be for some sexual offense such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, pedophilia, incest or beastiality?

Will it be for living out your life as a liar (hypocrite), drug, alcohol or tobacco abuser or thief just to name a few?

Can a married man committing adultery cry out "Dear God" in the throws of his sexual encounter and be thought sincere about what he just said?

Can a homosexual man or woman remain in their "Chosen" way of life and still claim that Jesus IS their "Lord" and the Lord that will save them in the end having never sincerely turned away from it (repented)?

Have you ever considered the single reason of "Unbelief" as the root cause which leads to all the above?

What if all of those taboo's listed were simply ways in order for us to observe (discern) our own "Unbelief" so that we have been made "Able" to know it's forms of manifestation in our lives?

Where does repentance come into the picture(s) being taken of your life and your ways?

What if God has His own version of a "Paparazzi"?

How much would you be willing to pay in order to keep those select photographs of indiscretion(s) concealed from the eyes of God?

In light of the trinity descending in spiritual form upon and impregnating the virgin Mary, how important does the thought of actually having a Father then become in the light of an existence, its humble beginnings and then continued way of life?

How can one consider the son of man/the son of God (Jesus) while we try to recognize him as a man who in turn then produces children the way we understand the process?

Without holding out in her faith towards God, how could Mary as a virgin have children without her physical womb being seeded?

Did we begin putting God in a box when we assumed that God was only talking to Adam and Eve when He told them to be fruitful and multiply?

Can we seriously assume He did not also give the same directive to His own spiritual personage once it entered into this natural realm?

Heb 2:13
"Here am I, and the children God has given me."
NIV

What could one extract from the depths of its meaning if they were to parallel the ticking clock of a woman to the ticking spiritual clock of God with regards to children in the scope of time?

Using the word assume as a verb would be like putting on a garment which then shares your physical address whereas presuming a garment still fits is to say "I know where it still hangs in my closet".

Assuming an identity is only as difficult as it is while trying to trust what you don't already know about yourself

When we assume that we know someone, have we only investigated or maybe cross examined their reasoning ability in conversation enough to where we have presumed what we know about them?

There are a lot of intellectuals that roam the face of the earth. They've invested so much of themselves in the "Futures" market they can't see how little they don't know about the Future until they get there.

Don't assume by what I'm saying that acquired  knowledge is not needed. I believe that it's essential with respect to humanity and his comfort(s) as he goes about compiling what he thinks he understands.

Don't get me wrong because I too enjoy the added benefits of mechanical  and electronic gadgets that have found their way into our lives because of "Scientific" advances made.

Allow this question though, "How far will divine wisdom take a person if they abandon it as the foundation of everything they assume they also understand?

Getting to "Know" someone requires that we are at least willing to place ourselves at risk in dealing with their seeming outburst of emotional expressions.

When I say emotions I'm suggesting an unseen influence which maintains the ability to raise its head at any given moment should the tidal wave of their unrestrained emotions wash over them?

Does God have emotions? In what way have His emotions made an attempt to approach you in this life?

Who did He use to confront (approach) you? Were the ways and means of this personage reflective of the the God you're "Willing" to acknowledge and accept as if "Your Own" personal God?

Could it prove to be in the end that all the things we've invested energy and resources into ourselves, we also "Managed" our own denial about certain things which apply to God?

In the end could those same considerations also prove to be many of the same things which are in turn used to judge (weigh) us?

Think on this in terms of the person that knows enough about God to then be critical of said "Christians" enough to where they label them hypocrite(s)?

Can they then in the end and in all truth "Deny" that they did not "Know" to do or act differently than they chose to in this life?

Was their life performance as hypocrites or as rebellious and would it depend upon what they stated they did not "Know"?

Have you ever found yourself in public with someone where you always had this slight concern whether they would embarrass you?

A certain someone that you never knew when or if they would say something out of bounds or simply just twist off on you? How do we manage these types of personages?

Do we confine them through distancing ourselves from them or do we maintain a hope to somehow also see them "Refined"? What would burning coals suggest in terms of "Refinement"?

When you read "On the contrary" below, picture for just a moment the word substitute to say, "Just the opposite"

Rom 12:17-21
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary:

"If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
NIV

Have you ever stopped to think about the above passage within that same context? Enough to where we as believers have had the burning coals of refinement poured out upon us while we were all still sinners?

Consider this then, What type of "personage" is the wrath of God coming to destroy? Is the good Father coming to destroy "His" own children or those which refused to be known and observed as if "His children"?

Heb 2:10-13
In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

 He says,
"I will declare your name to my brothers; in the presence of the congregation I will sing your praises."

 And again,

"I will put my trust in him."

And again he says,

"Here am I, and the children God has given me."
NIV

Why do we try and dismantle what we say we trust? Why the need to peel back the layers so that we can find comfort somewhere deeper within?

Sort of like the child that disassembles something in order to see more exactly how it works only then to discover they can't manage well enough putting it back together to the point that it once again works the way it was designed before being taken apart.

When we confess with our mouths that we believe something specific should we then esteem to "Become" (governed by) that same thing?

When we don't become what we proclaim at some point, what does our lives then begin to reflect? That of a  simple "Liar"? Maybe a liar is NOT so simple after all. Maybe a liar that's thought to be the least offensive is truly at the pinnacle of their "Game" (plan)

A series of lies strung together or as some might lightly suggest a "Tangled web" in which not only ourselves but others get caught up in?

When we seriously reflect on something concerning our "God", why don't we think it important enough to listen to ourselves as "We" reflect upon Him as if "Our" God (Lord/Master)?

Is it that we don't trust Him in and with all things OR is that we haven't been truthful with ourselves concerning the things we "Try" to manage without Him (His counsel)?

2 Peter 1:2-4
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
NIV

At what point do we as believers in Him become His "Glory" and reflection(s) of His "Goodness"?

Are we lying to Him or ourselves when our own reflections are NOT becoming of His personage?

He's not asking us to "Create" vast worlds or universe. Instead he's given us the power to shape the world in which we ourselves live.

Is it that we suffer from the dis-ease of "Vagueness"?

Is our own vagueness due only to having been misinformed (and that also being Christ in You)?

Are the direct result of this lacking the more precise enlightenment about ourselves?

Is it that we've believed the lies of deception which try to convince us that we are ALL made differently in our spirit form?

Differently to mean everything about our "Presence" which takes up space, that can be seen, smelled, touched or heard?

I suppose if we only maintain respect for our physical bodies (address) and loose sight of our spiritual beings then this trap would work on any of us no matter of our size shape or beauty.

When you go into your closet of a morning to get ready for the events of the day, do you over look your spiritual consideration as if that garment that's left hanging in the corner of the closet?

Do you only adorn your outer appearance while thinking about the "How" you'll look in the eyes of those around you?

Where is the respect due the thought and for the sake of Christ that dwells richly within you?

Who does His hair for the day? Who puts on His make up so that He'll also be attractive to others? Who showers and then perfumes so that also He doesn't stink during the day?

Oh, so He doesn't have a physical appearance here in the earth? Is that thought in your mind because He's a spirit a million miles away on His throne at the right hand of God?

As it pertains to said "Believers" and what they say they believe, we must remember who the Lord says the the Body of Christ not only is, but also should look like here in the earth.

If not She's "Presuming" what others see.

Is She presently failing to manage her outward appearance?

Has she become just another one of those unsightly (ungodly) images which has no clue that she is no longer attractive? She must always remember "Who" it is she's trying to attract.

The church here in the earth is not an address. She is not a garment worn either.

Instead the body of Christ, the Church, The Eklesia is the combined presence of the Lord here in the earth which the Lord is said to also richly indwell.

Now the tough question that needs to be asked, "What would cause the God who is also supreme to come out and be separated from all the rest which reside in the mind(s) of humanity?

Have you somehow managed to place God in a box or are you only looking at the confines of the inside of Your Own "Box"?
