Promises and Lies

In all my walk and granted it has been short. I am only 28yrs old. I have learnt this. Many people will promise you the world. Much of it however is lies and that in which you think is truth eventually will be dishonest in one way or another. People might feel this is negative but to me essentially it is the truth furthermore it give me the only reason to continue in my faith in God. Who has never failed me. Never will and is not dishonest, and makes no promises he cannot keep.

I have had many experiences where people promised me many great things and in the end all I had was nothing. We try to accomplish to much to put our foot forward and to focus only to be misled and many times discouraged.

Because of this we loose faith in who we are and many of us slowly become depressed thinking. "Hey..What's in it for me!" Well hate to break it to you and many times this harsh truth comes clearer daily. "Nothing"

In essense much our our fruit and effort will many times amount to nothing. The riches men in the world and even Carnagie Said that wealth had it's formula but chance was a major application of wealth without knowledge or duty. In otherwords. Where we find ourselves or the wealthy included is by chance and through that chance knowledge has been gained to attain that wealth.

Are we talking about wealth or peace. Love or Want. Financial Freedom or Numbness of Spirit. Can we be wealthy and peaceful? Can we Love and still have that which we want. yes. But to what measure does each matter. Is wealth greater than love or money more important than God? Is Money evil? Of course not. Is it the root of our Flesh. Yes. and if our flesh is not controled the root of our flesly desires will be carried out by our finances, cars, drugs, alcohol, fruitless parties, destruction and even orgy like investments or deeds.

You see with the aquiring of much comes the ability to fully be in the flesh and desire of "want" and act. Wereas if you have nothing. Then the idea stops and a thought and no longer becomes REAL.

The Promise and Lies of the world is that if we reach a certain point in our lives that we will reach a Echalon of power, strength and even possible salvation through our deeds. But the Promise of the Kingdom is that if we release all of these onto God. That God along will be able to bring us freedom from ourselves and therefore peace and eternal life in him. Both our power, our freedom, our strength and power comes from God alone therefore we Hold non and the power of greed nor pride can overtake us. As soon as we think we have something to do with it all we are overtaken by a GREAT storm.

If indeed our Salvation was up to us. We would be in a heap of trouble. For we as men can not see reason above Grace. We cannot see a application of unconditional love. We cannot see almight power through our mortal eyes. We literally have been striped of seeing through Gods eyes because we are be MERE men. But indeed we do have the power of God to see through his eyes if we only release ourselves to Gods will and his way of looking at things.

Here is Peace, Here is Direction, here is Grace, Here is Hope for a Hopeless World.
And a prideful man.

Having No Reason

I have come to the understanding both in my reading and in my life that it does not help in working with the idea of Reason. This website itself is a proclaimation of my faith but also in my humanity that I am not perfect and that I sometimes Reason with things that God has never intended that I reason with. I realize this as my fault. At first I thought to close the site but am realizing that I will keep it up. Though few comment this site is being hit by people all over the world. I have come to realize that if one person reads and understands or begins to hunger for the Lord than this site has done it's duty.

LUKE 17:6-11

6He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.

7"Suppose one of you had a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, 'Come along now and sit down to eat'? 8Would he not rather say, 'Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink'? 9Would he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? 10So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.' "

Foolish Thoughts - Foolish Fire - The Body - My Desire

This week has been a week of a reflection in the innocent mirror of my foolish kingdom (if there ever is such a thing). Building a mirage or a sand castle to be wipeed out by the waves of God. In essece realizing my mistakes and realizing the bigger picture of the church. We are part of one body. Not many different churches. This is the device of man and though we live inside of it. We are indeed part of one devine body with our own job or duty in that Body. Freedom is knowing that no matter where we go or where we are at. We are in union with Gods body if we are in his light and in his council. So. Why leave? Why go to another church? Why spin your wheels wondering if your church is the church God set you in. If you are there God planteed you. If you feel uneasy. Then perhaps God is speaking to you and not about your church. Perhaps the foolish one is us. Not the people whom we go to congragate with.

The Foolish thoughts have destroyed the power of God. Though his spirit will fall in mercy will the fruits last? Or are they results of foolish and strange fire. Are we playing the part we want to or the part God has given us. How many churches need we go to ..just to realize this GODLY TRUTH. The Body is one. Both in it's struggles and in it's glories.

The Body is powerful and should never be called a church in the sense of the building. The power of a building is to hold in. The give place to. When the power of the Body is that it has no place and it is mobile. It talks and it feels and it loves.

My desire is that through this time of learning that I might understand that the duty of the Lord in my life will never be complete that I would not be ever seeking but ever learning new treasures to hold and to share and to live. That God would have a place for me in his kingdom and that I might never ever become as foolish as to realize that I could control the Kingdom of God much less man.

We will always be prisioners of our flesh. Total surrender requires sometimes total control to tell people they must surrender. In esscence trying to make things free we put people ni bondage and in making this structured we find our freedom but God does not move. It looks as though the only way God can move is when he wants to. Many times at the strangest times and even if it only be for a short while or once in a while under the premissive control or the directive control of man. It is strange fire. A flame that should be quenched. For God will come and show us one day what True worship really is. Until then perhaps we can just try to endure the fruitful implications of it.

SHOW ME MORE. EVEN IF MAN IS AGAINST IT. PERHAPS ONLY IN MY PRAYER AND WORSHIP CLOSET MIGHT I BE ABLE TO FIND THE TREASURES OF WHAT YOU HAVE SHOWN ME.

Birthday Surprise

Last night was one of the greatest nights of my life. I can say it was one of the many great nights I have had. Lets just say it held a very special moment in my heart.

Yesterday I celebrated my 28th birthday. With all of my closest friends and family.
As people came I began to realize just how blessed I have been with the people in my family. My friends who now have become family and my church family that is so precious. Everything has seemedd to become one. I seem to have no distiction anymore. All of my family has become one in the heart that Christ has given me.

Those whom I have just met in the kingdom just as close as people I have known for years in the world. What I have experienced I cannot exactly write about but it seems that God is bridging the gap that was once there. This man could never be lonely. Could never feel like he has no family. And could never claim to have nothing, noone or have no love. God has given me the greatest gift of all. Godly friendships that have by devine touch become one big family.

For the first time. And those who know me this would be the first timeI would be speechless. Speechless and full of an overwhelming joy of what God has shared with me his love to show others and share in that love.

What a blessing it has been. Overwhelmed by this love my desire was to praise the very God that had blessed me that evening with praises in hopes that my father might be saved along with other friends who attended. It was my heart not a motive. I wanted to give something back to the Lord so much I could not bear it.

My concern in playing a singing and worshiping people might think I wanted an audience but my God put it into my heart to share this joy and this was the best way to share that love. The Holy spirit and worship has shared with me the greatest love and comfort I could ever dream of.

In my time eating and spending time with those whom I love I realized that each one of them are so very special in their own way. This touched me so. I cannot bring words to say the closest word I could use would be benevolent. it brought great peace to my heart and confirmation of Gods calling and plan in my life.

THANK YOU LORD.

Peculiar People Band

This evening and it is not common I go to visit a church to see a concert but earlier I was invited by a Guy who was unsaved and wanted to see me there and since I wanted to speak more to this person and share the joy of the lord to him. I went. I could not have enjoyed myself more that evening.

I watched as normal. humble and talented musicians picked up their instruments and began to ring out. "I AM NOT ASHAMED" the pulse of the song. And the power both overwhelming and fun. Then later into "Jesus Rock My World" I felt like I was once again young again. Err well younger. The chemistery of these guys and their relationship was evident in both how they flowed and they did not take themselves too seriously until it came to intimate worship time in "Glory to you" Ringing out "Glory to our God...Glory to our King....Glory to the Living God." In which each as if guided by a unity of one light and purpose brought forth the spirit of the Lord. While each person in the congration spent time with the lord. The moment was not rushed nor was is drawn low or dramatically rehearsed. This was WORSHIP!

It is not very often I feel the way I did this evening. I attended a worship time at Sierra Vista Community Church to see the Peculiar People Band. Both their hearts and their music was radiant and full of the love of the lord. I really enjoyed getting down, sweaty, and jumping for joy as the room filled with music and praises unto the Lord. After the show the guys were great each sharing something special about themselves and taking care to be kind and loving to my daughter. These guys need your prayers. They are doing a tour and this can be difficult. I urge you to purchase their cd or visit their website. http:/wwww.ppband.net

The Lord has touched my heart through their music and many people were saved due to the worship that was experienced as many more will. I just wanted to thank you guys personally for your submission to the Lord and his will so that others might be saved..

thank you Greg, Deon and Darrell
