I will never......

Okay, so I will never fully understand some people.

Yes, I said fully understand. Fully, because, honestly in so many ways, I do. I do I understand the very ones I say I will never understand. It's just that I only understand in part, not in whole.

I mean, I see - I hear - I take in. 
I bring it to the Lord in prayer. Holy Spirit speaks. He teaches. I am, at times even, (when that seems not enough) given divine understanding. Still - I have to say - I will never fully understand some people.






Perhaps it is my own stubbornness that keeps me in this place. Just far enough back from total understanding. Just far enough that it disallows empathy to sprout up within me. Almost like a protective force field around my heart takes over. Pushing away anything that gets too close.

 One I am not consciously aware of. It's in a place of "half way there" that  I find myself in a place of  feeble humanness. Somehow, I find justification, subconsciously of course, in holding back on total understanding - which paves the way to acceptance which then opens the door to unconditional love -( 1 Corinthians chapter 13 style love) which in turn brings full understanding. Got kind of a full circle thing going on there.

I don't mean to be so hard hearted towards these folk - (the ones I claim I will never fully understand)
I do truly love these people.
It is my desire to be completely filled with the complete love of G-D towards them so I can move in empathy making the way for understanding and unconditional love.
It's just that I am actually having a real moment in my own life -  the Lord has been speaking to me allot just recently about this very thing.
I felt the need to utilize my little corner of the WorlWideWeb to vocalize. That simple. :)

Hmmm
Realizing at this moment that pretty much no one reading this is gonna what I am talking about! lol

Oh well..... It won't be the first time!

Hey if you read this and it makes sense to you - possibly - in a world of wonder - even blesses you - Would you please leave a comment  and let me know?


There was a time, long ago when I first started this blog - People would leave a smile or a comment. I had maybe 1 to 10 hits a day. Now, unbelievably (to me) I have anywhere from 30 to 400 hits a day on this lil ol' blggity thing! :) But never so much as one comment...

I have actually given thought to closing down the blog....as....I don't do this for me.

BUT - I see how many people read it - so I don't stop.

But it would be kinda nice to hear from ya a'll!

Sooooo------Shalom! --------- I loves ya!!! I pray for you too!! Don;t know your names but G-D does!



Have an awesome week!!

This WORD changed my life.......

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in late 1990's

In 2002 I received this word from the Lord.

In 2003 I was instantaneously - miraculously and completely healed!

I believe I need to share this powerful word with others.

I sent forth my word and healed you

Why do you seek for what you can not find, among those who have no authority over life or death?

A Greater calling

Find your calling in MY heart

Seek me above all else

Desire my deepest love

Give all you have for what I am

I have made you who you are

For my purpose and for my pleasure you were created

Come before me and share my love

Know me

Give room to my Spirit

Let me in your deepest place

Lift up your voice and seek my face

Walk with me; talk with me; sing your sweet love songs to me

Forsake not thy first love for it pleases me and touches my heart

This is why I have created you; above all else and before anything more

In this you will find the answers that you seek

Do not look in vain to man's answers

The answer is in me

I love you

Be Different! 

Be Holy
(click on link above )

Okay, so there seems to be a general theme that has been popping up throughout my week.

Something that has  become somewhat of a deal breaking issue for me in the kingdom of God - here and now.

Well, to be honest, it has always been something that has made gotten the attention of my spirit when I have noticed it. However, just this last week or so Holy Spirit has has me on "high alert" regarding this particular matter. Everytime I come across this situation my spirit jumps into high gear and I take in to the Lord in prayer.

So, yeah, I bet you are wondering what it is already, huh?

Well, you can find in the scripture. 1 Corinthians chapter 5. Yep. The entire chapter. Paul is addressing immorality in the church.

The scripture  that has been oh so prevalent these last days has been verses 9 - 11.

 ^9"I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. ¹⁰ not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. ¹¹ But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God." 

The reason being these scriptures have been in the forefront of my heart and mind, these last fews weeks, has more to do with the call that has been placed on our lives to be transformed into the image of Gods own Son Jesus. To be "Holy as He is Holy" - to live a life worthy of the calling which we have received in Christ Jesus - than perhaps what we would normally associate with hearing as a sermon about this scripture. (although the basic teaching and meaning of this scripture is absolutely important. I am not saying at this time dis-associate with believers)

If I may - let me explain.

Well at least do my best to try and convey my thoughts about what I believe the Holy Spirit is most grieved over.

I will start with a picture - They say a picture paints a thousand words.

 ^"Therefore,

“Come out from them and be separate,

says the Lord."

In 2 Corinthians chapter 6

 Paul gives some  (helpful) examples how to live holy lives and be carriers of God's presence....for the end  and purpose of the glory of God and salvation (ultimately)  of others.

14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? ¹⁵ What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will live with them

    and walk among them,

and I will be their God,

    and they will be my people.”

¹⁷ Therefore,

“Come out from them

    and be separate,

says the Lord.

Touch no unclean thing,

    and I will receive you.”

¹⁸ And,

“I will be a Father to you,

    and you will be my sons and daughters,

says the Lord Almighty.”

So this is what started this whole thing

***********************************************************

 "So he's a Christian?"

A question that was asked of me by a non believer of a Christian brother.

I guess this is pretty much how this all started.

This was the first one.

Then it was - the excuses.

"Well, "I" have the liberty in Christ to ____" (you fill in the blank).

Okay. So this blog post is not meant to point a finger at any one individual. 

Goodness knows we all have our days. It's just that I can't shake the urgency and being a watchman - I need to share.

So - I will say this.  

When I was asked the question, "So  he's  a Christian?"

My heart sunk.  I felt horrible inside. For several reasons. One, because, yes, this person is very much  a Christian. Two, because I started to think about myself. 

If this brother in the Lord was brought this response was I sure my everyday life wasn't causing others to think the same thought about me? Could non believers actually tell I was a Christian by my lifestyle?

This really affected me.

I have not been able to get away from this subject matter. When we as children of God and especially leaders in the Church have the world watching us and they do not see us as any different than them. 

This is problematic  Plain and simple.There is not much time left. We are truly living in the last days. 

We are not called to live like the world. To do as the world. 

There needs to be a definite - noticeable - difference - between  a believe in Jesus and a non believer. In every area of life.

Jesus loved everyone. He ate and drank and walked and talked with sinners.

Yes.

However - He did not partake IN their sinful acts. 

Instead Jesus shared the words of life with them. Mercy, grace, forgiveness, healing and deliverance.

As a Child of the Living God. As a believer in Yeshua. As a Christ follower.

We are called to do the same. To be ministers of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:18

"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation."

Do our neighbors KNOW we are such?

When a crisis happens will they runs to US knowing we are a praying people?

OR

Are we living with one foot in the world partying and with them and living life with them  no differently and  then coming to small group and church and putting on our God clothes?

*News Flash*

It is all or nothing with the Lord.

So I guess this is my encouragement to be set in our hearts as a reminder in Jesus to check our hearts to make sure that at all times both feet are walking in the path of the righteousness....and to remind us that  where 'ere we go and what 'ere we do - every moment of every day.

We are Ambassadors for Our Most Holy - Beloved - Lord - Yeshua Ha Mashiach.

And 

The world is watching.
