A Lie Revealed

Pslams 37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

In listening to the Lord on Suday today I heard the lord say.
"There is one promise; Not two." In all the day I kept thinking what this meant.
A part of me could not let Go. When God speaks man has a tendancy to listen once he has gotten the revelation from whom it came. And only then. For anyone else it is foolishness.

So in all of this I was poised with this question. Which promise are you living on?
Where is your home in my promise or the worlds? Clearly I have been set astray myself by the desires of my heart and loosing ground which what God is doing in me. Or did I? For who can escape God? From where can you flee from his word. Even of that word to you may seem harsh or even...well invalid.

Our minds fight with the whats if's we forget the argue the what if nots. Sometimes we are so involved playing for the home team that we forgot to look at ourselves objectivly so that we can be the one God has made us to be.

If your promise is ...hopeful finaces, in your career or your Job? Is it in your ministry. Even this will faulter. Or is your Hope your promise in the Lord Jesus.

Sometimes as far fetched as this may sound to most who do not know Jesus. Imagine that more than half the world basis it's decisions on finances and status alone. The other on Education. And more than 70% of the wealthy by age 70 years of age have gone bankrupt as well as more than 60% of College graduates actually are unemployed. While an additional 56% of those graduates hold a minimum wage Job. The Promise of the world is dim. The lies of the world are gleaming. The promise of the new car and new 5 bedroom home on the beach. Which is greater the palace or the Kingdom? Anyone would say the kingdom for the kingdom is the whole of whom inhabits the palace. The very power in which a person might be so inclined to have a palace. However the thinking of this world is own the item and you have the kingdom.

This world is completely turned upside down for whomever is part of the Kingdom not only lives within the palace but also takes ownership of the Kingdom. This very think is kept from the minds of people (unsaved) and many even saved.

Closed off by the Jargon of Working for salvation the free gift of salvation becomes a carival game. Based on the carnal desire of achivement instead of the spiritual outworkings of living in the spirit. Our sins become obsticales and and our speech proclaims Inconquearble fears that more than half the time do not exist or become exagerated in our heads.

Yes this world has given lies. Whoever has the fastest car wins. Far too many forget the police are right behind you. If not death follows even closer. Either way you will be captive to something.

The lies are that we cannot overcome. The lie is that we have two choices both in our lives. Both to the saved and the unsaved this is a message of freedom but more importantly of truth. Which this world holds no understanding of. If it does only for a short time and surly only for bait for a far bigger lie.

The Two choices tear us from our saviour. We walk the fence in hope that we can live two seperate lives and find which one will pay off. When in fact because of their very nature one must defeat the other. They cannot coexist.

The world will force itself upon us. The ideals. The implications of fame, wealth, sucess, love all incapsuled in our movies, music and media. However God will not force himself upon you unless given into the wrong hands of man bent on pride. Because of this we are given a freedom by the one promise that the other cannot compare. The freedom to choose. To Live the Gospel or Not.

We can choose to follow the lie or the truth. The truth is so dimly lit that far too many do not understand the ideal of truth any longer. I myself struggle with this daily. This world plays with words, and intention through deception. And deception is leading the lie. To the biggest lie of all.

The Biggest lie is that the World cares for us, The Devil does not exist and God is an idea. Dishearted many who even come into christianty thinking the world will instantly turn in love and acceptance towards them are quickly jolted from this falacy.

However we put the emphasis on this Palace and not the entirty (the completeness) of what true sucess is. True Success is revealing the lie and living in the truth. Understanding that we have no allies in the worlds system but only God.

The creator always chooses to preserve which the creation by nature naturally breaks itself down. Whom do you trust the creator or the created?

I See The Lord Seated At The Throne

Today. In our prayer time. It was not as usual at Corporate prayer. Something had changed and the change is indefinate. I know this because the Lord said we will not return there again as long as we do not take for Granted the Love and Mercy he has shown us. I know the Love and the Mercy because we do not deserve the Mercy he has given us. We do not deserve the second chance. In Spite of all we have done. Who we have hurt and even what we have left undone. God has said. I bring you back to a starting point. I still require what I have asked but I have given you a new place to shout from. A new place to praise. A House on a Hill so that your troubles will seem less though they may be the same. A place of worship. Intimate and powerful so you might have shelter and strength in the storm. You have come to me in Pleas and cries of Mercy ohh church and I have heard you. I have heard through the fake smile and the through the Joyful improptues.. I have heard your Desire..

Loosing Sight

THis is a good topic because it seems i am loosing sight in my left eye. It concerns me but brings me to another point altogether. The balance of sight in our lives. How clearly we see ourselves in the world around us.

Just recently I was tested on things I thought I have already overcome. However like the eyesight that I am loosing in my left eye. There is nothing I could do about it but pray and do what I could in terms of not allw it to get worse.

I have been tested in my Pride, in my decipleship and in my Love. Many times over sometimes I wonder just when it stops. But though for some the christian life might seem like one hurdle after the other so is Life in the world. If it is not perhaps you are not really moving forward anywhere.

The attribute of a life moving forward is jumping over and around hurdles. This is Life. Saved or unsaved. However for what prize makes the difference. Why do we Jump over and over again. What is our promise past the fancy cars, nice houses and pockets full of money. THere must be more in this life.

Clearly there is and jumping through around over and sometimes under hurdles is how we find it. We sometimes get hurt but we stand and begin to run once again to our Goal and our prize.

With God as our focus we might loose our natural sight but we will not EVER loose our spiritual one.

God is Good - Faithful

Accusations, Family fights,Frusteration, Abuse and Lies. God can conquer them all.
God can defeat the undefeatable and restore relationships when the enemy comes in to attack or when we stumble in our own ways. We must keep however faithful. Even then he remains faithful. In our trails. We can stand even when we have fallen and get up even when others do not believe.

No longer are we at the result of scrutiny from man but living in the Grace and Mercy of the Lord. Because of this we can walk on in more powerful relationships than what we had before the attack. God gives Good to those who love him. I love him. Jesus my Lord and Saviour has been so kind to me. Though many times I have fallen. Though I might get slammed now and then. I will come back with more might more love for the Lord that gives me the power and the strength to endure.

With every attack comes another victory because I know the Victor. I know that God will remain faithful in me. I never want to be out of his light or from his people or his family. I want to be Faithful to others because God has been faithful to me. I want to be faithful to my word because even in the storm we must remain faithful. We like our lord must pray through to remain the FAITHFUL ones that he has made us to be. To our friends, family and church. To his Body and to his word. As well as our own. This words convicting and cutting yet true. What must we do to remain faithful. have the closest possible relationship with he who is faithful through all of the STORM. Through the Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Financial Struggles, Arguments, Fights, Courts and Trials, Through misunderstanding and through even our GREATEST of times. We Remain FAithful because he is Faithful. God is Indeed Good.
