LEVITICUS 19:2 & 37...
2/ Be holy, for I, the LORD your God, am holy.
37/ Be careful, then, to observe all my statutes and decrees. I am the LORD."
1 PETER 1:13-16...
13/ Therefore, gird up the loins of your mind, live soberly, and set your hopes completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14/ Like obedient children, do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance
15/ but, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,
16/ for it is written, "Be holy because I (am) holy."
JOHN 14:15...
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
JOHN 14:21...
Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him."
JOHN 14:23-24...
23/ Jesus answered and said to him, "Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.
24/ Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me.
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. ISAIAH 43:19...
SLOW down, take it EASY, read THE WORD with intent, and diligence; give it time to meld into the being; it IS imperative TO allow it to seep into the heart, the spirit, the being!!!
Thanksgiving for the LORD's Favor
Psalms 138 (A Psalm of David)
1/ I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2/ I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3/ In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4/ All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5/ Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
6/ Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7/ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8/ The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:
thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands... AMEN!!!

One CANNOT earn GRACE, it is HIS own ESSENCE; a gift, still, IF one claims to be IN HIS GRACE, we ARE to, or, OUGHT to, be reflections of that GRACE! 2 CORINTHIANS 6:1, tells us not to take HIS GRACE in vain! This means, living in LOVE, morality, ethics, virtue, righteousness, and, spiritual improvement, TOWARDS, spiritual maturity, WHILE, visibly BEING as LIGHTS, beaming OF *GOD*, beckoning the world, TO THE LIGHT! Righteousness MEANS, conduct in conformity with *GOD'S* WILL, and, "Be HOLY because I AM HOLY!", therefore, indicating that knowledge, wisdom, and, effort, DO, apply TO the righteous!!! NEVER forget, we were grafted in, and, if we do not bear fruit, as a dead branch, we will be pruned out, just as were, the natural branches!!!
We are not saved by works, instead, works PROVE HIM in us: they identify HIS own...
We are not saved by works, instead, works PROVE HIM in us: they identify HIS own...
IF I claim ONENESS with *GOD*, through CHRIST JESUS, I am DEAD TO THE WORLD, THUS, LIVING as HIM, which is, hopefully, witnessed IN, and, THROUGH, my every thought, action, and, reaction; MEANING, I am, THROUGH CONSCIOUS application OF THE WORD, HIS COMMANDS, HIS WILL, REFLECTING righteousness, not, merely, FAITH! I become, the TRULY FRUITFUL branch, of THE VINE, the TRUE member of THE BODY/THE CHURCH, CHRIST JESUS, and, TESTIFY, then, GLORIFY, BOLDLY, BY my thoughts, actions, and, reactions, HIS name, because, HE IS WORTHY, and, IN HIS LOVE, has SHOWN me, how I OUGHT to exist, to which, I eagerly, adapt, and, comply!!!
MATTHEW 5:48...
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect
1 PETER 1:14-16...
14/ Like obedient children, do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance
15/ but, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,
16/ for it is written, "Be holy because I (am) holy."
ROMANS 12:2...
Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.
MATTHEW 5:48...
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect

Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.
Conduct, in conformity to *GOD'S* WILL, marks the righteous; it is NOT because of guilt, or, ancient Laws, but, because of LOVE; LOVE for *GOD*, self, then, others! CHRIST JESUS gave us Commandments to live by, of which, the first is to LOVE *GOD*, with all of your mind, heart, and, soul; the second is, to LOVE one another!
LOVE COMPELS us to LIVE IN HIM, through conduct which conforms to *GOD*; in other words, morality, ethics, doing good, and, being good, and, ever striving to improve the spirit! It is about REFLECTING THE TRUTH, for ALL to bear witness to, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, RADIANTLY SHINING OF HIS POWER, GRACE, and, MERCIES!!!
It IS ALL ABOUT LOVE, baby, all about LOVE!!!
MATTHEW 4: 17...From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
JOHN 14:15..."If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

NOTE: I do not intend to preach, rather to reach; to stir up, awaken, to inspire, and, bring forth, in discussion, that which is, perhaps, dormantly existing in the heart of hearts, thus, little, or, no, sugar coatings, just THE WORD of *GOD*, the TRUTH, along with some of my thoughts. And truth is, I am reminding myself always, as I practice these reminders, in the best of my abilities, and capacities, while RELYING on THE LORD to lead me on that narrow PATH---> MATTHEW 7: 14: "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it...

SATURDAY'S SOUNDNESS: SELF-CONTROL...
Soundness of being, includes self-control, to a very extensive degree! You see, when we have mastered self-control, we have overcome many areas of the psyche! A walk with *GOD*/CHRIST commands that we exist in a state of self-control, at least, to the best of our abilities, BECAUSE, to lack self-control, is to invite that, which, easily, takes us away from HIM, thus, we have to begin anew! Now, HE KNOWS we ARE going to lose control at times, but, the being who has nearly mastered it, is less likely to become ensnared, entrapped, and/or, slip away...
Self-control is NOT easy to master! There are countless areas of the being, where control is necessary, but, of which, we are ignorant! Thus, we have to study ourselves, deeply, and, make note of the areas where we are weak! This leads to conscious evaluation, which then, opens to paths to correction!!!
We are fully aware of our limitations, in many matters, but, there are matters we NEVER consider as being important to mastering self-control, such as, reacting! We are raised reacting without thinking, largely, which, places us in err, more times than not! In the controlling of reacting, lies temperament, it's triggers, it's limits, it's ability to handle what arises, and, so forth, SO, you see, in mastering self-control, lies some serious assessment of one's self!!!
FORTUNATELY, so we don't have to become a psychoanalyst, *GOD* has GIVEN us the KEYS to self discovery, and, self-control, VIA THE WORD! Understanding LOVE in it's fullness, then, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and, what comprises this state, such as THE VIRTUES, aids one greatly, in mastering the being!!!
Self-control is a FRUIT of the spirit, and, IS visible for ALL to bear witness to, FOR, and, TO the GLORY of *GOD*/CHRIST! We should really consider our weaknesses, and, correct them, which, is NOT going to be easy, but, I KNOW just how far we can come, as I have made great progress!!!
Let's use alcohol as an example! Each of us KNOWS our limitations, when indulging in drinking, but, HOW MANY of us are able to stop at that limit? NOT MANY, though, we SHOULD! Let's talk about this for a moment! The REASON we are NOT to become DRUNK IS, because, we are then, VOID of self-control, which, CAN, and honestly, usually DOES, take us into areas of wrongdoing, which, we would NOT entertain, IF we were IN control! ANYONE who has ever drank too much, KNOWS what I am talking about, but, LOTS of people dismiss these actions of wrongdoing, with the excuse of, "Well, I was drunk!", which, does NOT float with *GOD*! When we have gone too far, with ANYTHING, we are at risk, we are in danger, and, we are NOT in the spirit! The spirit is controlled, and, FOCUSED UPON *GOD*! NOT that there is no margin for err, but, such incidents should not be those WITHIN our control! See what I mean???
*GOD* says we can have a drink, everything in moderation: HE just doesn't want us to LOSE control to the evil of this world, nor, the weakness of our egocentric being, BECAUSE IF we have claimed HIM as our SAVIOUR, we ARE to be as like HIM, as is feasible! Occassional trips, slips, and, falls, are expected, we are, after all, caught in some serious humanness, yet, HE HOPES we abide BY HIS WILL, and, WAYS, THAT, we are ever closer TO HIM, thus, the reality of who we really are!!!
People, I KNOW lots of what I present is heavy duty, but, this IS all a part of a walk with *GOD*! Soundness of being, involves great effort, and, consistency; constant improvement OF the being, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, AND, that we ARE TRUE reflections OF HIS LIGHT, THE LIGHT which LEADS the LOST to HIM!!!

THE LIGHT IS THE LOVE OF *GOD*...
The LOVE of *GOD* is the LIGHT which spans over CREATION, ever fanning outwardly, touching EVERYTHING in CREATION! In this LIGHT is empowerment, enablement, endowment, enrichment, encouragement, and ALL, which is, RIGHT, and, HEALTHY!!!
In contrast, what is of the world, deception, is like a huge, towering, darkness inducing, vacuum, with endless hoses, slithering around the Earth, which, sucks THE LIGHT, from the human race, ALTHOUGH, it CANNOT eradicate THE LIGHT! When this obstruction comes near, it blocks THE LIGHT, then, attaches itself to all in it's path, changing what IS, into what is NOT!!!
Unfortunately, this huge, dark vacuum, has been present in the lives of many since birth, and while, they KNOW of THE LIGHT, and, have even caught a glimpse of it, now, and, again, they are so encased in the hindrance of the vacuum, and, are, in fact, IN the hose, that, they don't realize that THE LIGHT IS the TRUTH of existence!!!
As LOVE reaches into the depths of some, these are LED to grabbing those hindered by the vacuum of deception, while, RADIATING THE LIGHT of LOVE, and, showing the hindered, THE WAY TO THE LIGHT, which, is NOT easy, because, so many are SURE that the dark vacuum, and, it's constant presence in their lives IS the truth, as, that is all they have known to this date! Therefore, those who have been TAUGHT BY THE LIGHT, have to INCREASE their own intensity OF THE LIGHT, that, it OVERCOMES the blindness, caused by the dark obstruction, and, these LED, are NEVER to relent, as, IF they should, the vacuum WILL inhale ALL in it's path, and, take them to where they do not understand, nor, wish to be!!!
ONLY THE LIGHT OF LOVE can save the human race, because it is *GOD*, and so, HE has chosen many to search, and, rescue the hindered, THROUGH their reflection OF THE LIGHT OF HIS LOVE, as come one day, that dark, hampering vacuum, and, all encompassed within, ARE going to be eradicated, BY THE LIGHT, never to disturb THE GLORY OF THE LIGHT OF LOVE again! Many will have CHOSEN to remain obscured, in the confines of the vacuum, because they knew NOT THE LIGHT, but, per chance, others WILL be FREED from the influential might of this destructive vehicle of damnation...
LET THE LIGHT SHINE, and, OVERTAKE YOU, it IS the TRUTH of REALITY, and, the safe passage to ETERNITY! PRAISE THE LORD, our *GOD*, for ALL HE has provided for us, IN HIS LOVE!!! AMEN!!!

OPENING THE PORTALS OF THE HEAVENS: PRAYER & LOVE...
Prayer is, largely, intercessorial, in that, like LOVE, is FOR the COMMON GOOD of ALL in existence! Especially, for the comm'UNITY' of *GOD*/CHRIST, BECAUSE, we have left the needy self behind, and, have become the spirit, who KNOWS it is cared for BY *GOD*!!!
The reason CHRIST told HIS Disciples, and, followers to sell all they had, WAS FOR the COMMON GOOD of ALL; that, IN LOVE, NO ONE person, was lacking, hungry, homeless, or, needy, in any way! The people pooled their resources together, and, equally, distributed to one, and, all, BECAUSE, where there is NO need, there is NO DIVISION, RESENTMENT, DISSENSION, or, any other negative, AND, because LOVE is EVER FORWARDING, NEVER self-inclined, ALWAYS looking out for others!!!
Prayer is much the same! We should pray for our Families, other people, our leaders, our Countries, our work place, our Churches, and, ANY thing which, has the potential to falter, wane, or, disrupt, the HOLY flow of benevolence, PEACE, HOPE, LOVE, and, CHARITY, FOR ALL!!!
To pray is to open UP for the COMMON GOOD of ALL in *GOD'S* CREATION, with understanding that, the more enabled EVERYONE is, the less destructive is the darkness! It is a switch to THE LIGHT, if you will! It is the portal of the HEAVENS, allowing *GOD* to DO HIS thing, FOR the GOOD of ALL!!!
People pray for the self, more than anything, and, this is, fine in certain matters, but, mostly, prayer is FOR the GOOD of the world, and, an end to suffering, affliction, and, whatever deception brings our way!!!
You see, IF you have FAITH, you KNOW, that *GOD* knows what you need, before you do, then, you TRUST HIM, to provide for you! And yes, HE also knows what the world needs, however, HE is MOVED by LOVE, compassion, care, and, unselfishness of HIS people! HIS LOVE is increased by our LOVE, and so, HE is more inclined towards those who communicate with HIM, for the GOOD of others! Some people pray for shoes, when they already have 30, or more, pairs! Come on! If you need more shoes, pray that you can afford them, AFTER you have prayed for the world! Some people have NO shoes at all! Shoes are nice, no doubt, but, there are SO many matters, much more imperative, FOR the GOOD of ALL!!!
ONENESS with *GOD*, IS found in comm'UNITY', in HIS name! WHEN people CARE for one another, AS DOES HE, then, a chain reaction of GOODNESS, prevails! Just think about this for a while, and, study CHRIST, in the fullness of HIS teachings, and, you will begin to see, the sense, and, sensibility OF placing ALL before yourself, in most matters!!!
PRAISE THE LORD, our *GOD*, and, DELIVERER, who HAS set forth SOUND PRINCIPLES, we ONLY NEED to adhere to them, in order for them to benefit, one, and, ALL!!!

*GOD* HAS IT GOING ON, HAIL HIS GLORY!!!
In HIS LOVE of me, *GOD* has granted me the power to ARISE ABOVE myself, and, circumstances! HE has LED me to this discovery, to this knowledge, to this HOPE, to this BELIEF, and, to this FAITH, not only for my sake, but, TO, and, FOR HIS GLORY!!!
HE has opened my ears, and, my eyes, as well as, the core of sensibility! HE has GRACED me with HIS WORD, HIS example, HIS guidance! ALL because HE LOVES me!!!
Once so lost, once so surrounded by darkness, HIS LIGHT shone down upon me, and, BAM!, life was different! Not instantly better, but, different, and since, HAS gotten better, BECAUSE, I am IN THE LIGHT OF HIS LOVE, and, AM, more, and, more, becoming ONE with HIM!!!
It is NOT easy; the world you live in loses much of it's allure, people don't know how to deal with you, some even reject you, your time is spent in study; learning of HIM, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, in anticipation of pleasing HIM, then, serving HIM, through serving the world, HOWEVER, it is WAY easier than TRYING to navigate the mine fields of this world, with it's tiring, and, endless lies, delusions, confusions, abuses, and, all which is general of the deceiver!!!
HE IS THE KING OF ALL KINGS, THE CREATOR OF ALL IN EXISTENCE, THE BEGINNING, and, THE END, thus, WHERE else would I, logically, or, practically, place my devotion, my TRUST, my BELIEF, my FAITH, my LOVE, my efforts? EVERYTHING else in existence is but, a shot of air, and, IS ever diminishing, SO, I WILLINGLY, submit, and, surrender unto HIM!!!
*GOD* has it going ON, people! HE'S GOT IT ALL OVER EVERYTHING! HE IS ALL THAT, and, HAS ALL NECESSARY TO my being, and so, WITH *GOD*, resides the whole of me, in JOY, PEACE, CONTENTMENT, CONFIDENCE, and, TOTAL BELIEF IN HIS GLORY!!! AMEN!!!

THURSDAY'S TRIUMPHS....
TRIUMPHANT was THE LORD OVER the world, over evil, over death! HE left with us, an example to follow, to connect with, to grasp, and, hold onto, with all our might!!!
Our LORD by nature, without fail, is beautiful, LOVING, kind, compassionate, caring, always giving, and, on HIS attributes go! Of all things in this life, HE SHOULD be whom we would most desire to be like, yet, many strive to be like people they admire! Who on Earth, could be comparable to THE LORD? Who could provide any semblance of example to follow? Who is pure, just, righteous, and, worthy? ONLY THE LORD!!!
The whole thing is, IF we TRULY desire *GOD*, the path TO HIM, has been set before us! We only have to expend some energy of effort, find understanding, WISDOM, knowledge, FAITH, LOVE, and, become viably representative OF HIM, through virtuous living! Besides studying THE WORD, we have been given CHRIST as our focus, as our INCOMPARABLE role model, thus, it is imperative to KNOW HIM, to the best of our ability!!!
We were bought at a price, a most PREMIUM price, BECAUSE *GOD* SO LOVES US, that, HE ransomed us from this world of woes! So, it is only appropriate, out of gratitude, and, appreciation, as well as, in LOVE for HIM, that we SHINE for HIM, before the world, as worthy, and, wholesome reflections OF HIM, which, DOESN'T come easily to our human condition, but, WITH HIM, all things are possible, and, every effort radiates of HIM, HIS WILL, and, HIS WAYS!!!
Difficult at the onset, but, the more deliberate we become in our adapting TO HIS WILL, the more it becomes one with us! Not only that, but, the more we apply TO, and, FOR HIS GLORY, the more HE enables us! As our honest sincerity becomes evident to HIM, HE begins to unleash in our lives, the necessary constituents TOWARDS fulfilling HIS WILL, and, towards BLESSING us!!!
Triumph begins to replace defeat, fear, discouragement, and, other negative factors! POSITIVITY, PEACE, HOPE, TRUST, and, LOVE begin to rule our senses, our thoughts, our actions! Life doesn't change, exactly, after all the world is where we are being proven, yet, the STATE of life, DOES change!!!
It is about choices, and, being SERIOUS about the choices we make, especially, IF we have CHOSEN *GOD* OVER the world, because, we can't serve HIM, and, the world; it just doesn't, for various, and, obvious reasons, work that way!!!
The past is the past, the future may not come, so, NOW is the time of either, triumph IN HIS GLORIOUS name, or, defeat by choosing to be of the world! It is ALL before you, what you do with it, IS your choice, but, realize, these choices are often, irrevocable!!!
I pray that more, and, more, choose to be triumphant OVER the world, in accordance with our SAVIOUR, our LORD, our *GOD*, that, come HIS DAY of DAYS, the HEAVENS, and, NEW EARTH, are swarming with the righteous, BLESSED Children of *GOD*!!!

Our LORD by nature, without fail, is beautiful, LOVING, kind, compassionate, caring, always giving, and, on HIS attributes go! Of all things in this life, HE SHOULD be whom we would most desire to be like, yet, many strive to be like people they admire! Who on Earth, could be comparable to THE LORD? Who could provide any semblance of example to follow? Who is pure, just, righteous, and, worthy? ONLY THE LORD!!!
The whole thing is, IF we TRULY desire *GOD*, the path TO HIM, has been set before us! We only have to expend some energy of effort, find understanding, WISDOM, knowledge, FAITH, LOVE, and, become viably representative OF HIM, through virtuous living! Besides studying THE WORD, we have been given CHRIST as our focus, as our INCOMPARABLE role model, thus, it is imperative to KNOW HIM, to the best of our ability!!!
We were bought at a price, a most PREMIUM price, BECAUSE *GOD* SO LOVES US, that, HE ransomed us from this world of woes! So, it is only appropriate, out of gratitude, and, appreciation, as well as, in LOVE for HIM, that we SHINE for HIM, before the world, as worthy, and, wholesome reflections OF HIM, which, DOESN'T come easily to our human condition, but, WITH HIM, all things are possible, and, every effort radiates of HIM, HIS WILL, and, HIS WAYS!!!
Difficult at the onset, but, the more deliberate we become in our adapting TO HIS WILL, the more it becomes one with us! Not only that, but, the more we apply TO, and, FOR HIS GLORY, the more HE enables us! As our honest sincerity becomes evident to HIM, HE begins to unleash in our lives, the necessary constituents TOWARDS fulfilling HIS WILL, and, towards BLESSING us!!!
Triumph begins to replace defeat, fear, discouragement, and, other negative factors! POSITIVITY, PEACE, HOPE, TRUST, and, LOVE begin to rule our senses, our thoughts, our actions! Life doesn't change, exactly, after all the world is where we are being proven, yet, the STATE of life, DOES change!!!

BE TRUE TO THE 'REAL' YOU!!!
Be true to yourself, the REAL you, in the heart of *GOD*, for you ARE spirit, NOT in the pulse of the world, which is, diminishing, defeating, and, always fleeting! THE KINGDOM IS EVER at hand, because we know NOT the length of our days, nor, of this world!!!

ALLOW THE TRUTH TO TAKE ROOT!!!
Many people do not want to hear the WHOLE of THE TRUTH, because, they believe they ARE the truth of reality, which, has some semblance of truth, but, is marred by deception! People believe if they are caught up in the human condition, they are acting in truth! NOT SO, as, THE TRUTH IS *GOD*, and, *GODLINESS*! HE DID PROVIDE A WAY TO THE TRUTH, so that, we wouldn't be left to the devouring rule of the world, but, it involves EFFORT to OBTAINING!!!
*GOD* LOVES US SO MUCH, HE PROVIDED A WAY, THE LIGHT, THE TRUTH, despite our inclinations towards the world!!!
*GOD*/CHRIST/THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE TRUTH OF REALITY, there is NOTHING else more VIABLE, nor, LASTING! HE IS ALL, and, EVERYTHING, of which, we are a part of, IF we so CHOOSE to be! The world is a testing ground, so to speak; the lives of humanity, PROVE THE *GODLY*, from the rest!!!
People are rarely happy, fulfilled, or, satisfied; EVER seeking more, more, and, more; NOT realizing that what they are lacking, CANNOT be found in this world, ONLY IN *GOD*/CHRIST! Most people who have matured of spirit, WILL testify to this!!!
You can find TEMPORARY pleasure in this world, no doubt; that is part of the rule of the world, to KEEP you below your RIGHTFUL inheritance, and to, sway you from THE TRUTH! It is all a game on the part of the deceiver, but, WITH *GOD*, IT IS A SERIOUS, and, LIFE GIVING matter!!!
We want CONSTANT encouragement, and, kindly inspirations, thus, many deny the meat of THE TRUTH, not realizing that in the less than favourable instructions for us, lies the answers to TRUE FULFILLMENT!!!
Few want to delve INTO THE TRUTH, through serious, dedicated, diligent study, instead, they wish THE TRUTH to be delivered to them, without effort on their part! Working THROUGH THE TRUTH is part of what INSTILLS it, DEEPLY, to ROOT, FLOURISH, then, PRODUCE, what it is we MOST want, and, need! *GOD'S* PERFECT PLAN for us, IS WORTHY of the endurance, time, and, devotion, it requres, BELIEVE it!!!

WEDNESDAY'S WISDOM: JEREMIAH...
JEREMIAH 8:4-9...
4/ Tell them: Thus says the LORD: When someone falls, does he not rise again? if he goes astray, does he not turn back?
5/ Why do these people rebel with obstinate resistance? Why do they cling to deceptive idols, refuse to turn back?
6/ I listen closely: they speak what is not true; No one repents of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done!" Everyone keeps on running his course, like a steed dashing into battle.
7/ Even the stork in the air knows it seasons; Turtledove, swallow and thrush observe their time of return, But my people do not know the ordinance of the LORD.
8/ How can you say, "We are wise, we have the law of the LORD"? Why, that has been changed into falsehood by the lying pen of the scribes!
9/ The wise are confounded, dismayed and ensnared; Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, of what avail is their wisdom?
JEREMIAH 9:22-23...
22/ Thus says the LORD: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, nor the strong man glory in his strength, nor the rich man glory in his riches;
23/ But rather, let him who glories, glory in this, that in his prudence he knows me, Knows that I, the LORD, bring about kindness, justice and uprightness on the earth; For with such am I pleased, says the LORD.
JEREMIAH 17:5-12...
5/ Thus says the LORD: Cursed is the man who trusts in human beings, who seeks his strength in flesh, whose heart turns away from the LORD.
6/ He is like a barren bush in the desert that enjoys no change of season, But stands in a lava waste, a salt and empty earth.
7/ Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose hope is the LORD.
8/ He is like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream: It fears not the heat when it comes, its leaves stay green; In the year of drought it shows no distress, but still bears fruit.
9/ More tortuous than all else is the human heart, beyond remedy; who can understand it?
10/ I, the LORD, alone probe the mind and test the heart, To reward everyone according to his ways, according to the merit of his deeds.
11/ A partridge that mothers a brood not her own is the man who acquires wealth unjustly: In midlife it will desert him; in the end he is only a fool. 12/ A throne of glory, exalted from the beginning, such is our holy place.

OVERCOMING THE OBSTACLES OF OPPRESSION...
YES, there is much wrong in this world, and, YES, there is much to contend with, but, we HAVE to realize, *GOD* holds THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIGHT, THE RESOLVE, THE ANTIDOTE, THE ANSWERS, THE HEALTH, and, THE VITALITY, we so seek! This old world ISN'T going to satiate you, it has NOTHING viable to offer, ONLY what is *GOD* endorsed will! All of this world is fleeting, and, is useful for teaching, correcting, and, BRINGING us TO *GOD*, or, taking us where we, surely, do not want to wind up!!!
It is SO easy to SEE, but, it is like there is obstacle, after obstacle, in our path, in which case, MANY become wearied, exhausted, then, they give up! These obstacles have purpose in the whole, and, should NOT absorb our beings, though, in the uniformed, the untaught, and, the confused, this is what happens, much to the delight of the evil one!!!
When you encounter an obstacle, even though that obstacle is shrouded in the darkness of deception, IF you RAISE your sights, you WILL SEE *GOD*, whom, IS there to aid you in ASCENDING OVER those obstacles, and, obstructions! HE IS EVER NEAR, and, IS BECKONED BY FAITH! HE IS LISTENING, WATCHING, and, SENSING your every movement, thought, and, inclination in this life! HE IS WAITING FOR YOU TO CALL UPON HIM, with FAITH, HOPE, TRUST, BELIEF, and, LOVE! HE would NEVER leave you to the complexities the evil one sets before you, IF you TURN to HIM FOR THE WAY!!!
I CAN'T relent in explaining to you, HOW IMPERATIVE *GOD* IS to your safety, to your life, now, and, ever after! You CAN'T do this alone! HE IS *GOD*, we are HIS CREATION, and, ARE designed TO BE ONE with HIM, although, the evil one, in his hatred of us, has made a mess of this reality, by deceiving us, blinding us, deafening us, and, oppressing us, VIA, our egocentric beings/mind! THUS, THE WORD IS THE TICKET TO FREEDOM, and, TO LIFE!!!
Every obstacle CAN be OVERCOME; they CAN be jumped; they CAN be cleared, and, left behind! WITH *GOD* ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, BECAUSE WITH HIM, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! Take this to heart, BELIEVE IT, and, RELY UPON HIM, ALONE, and just watch, as HE MOVES MOUNTAINS FOR YOU!!!
PRAISE HIS MIGHTY NAME, and, LET HIS GLORY BE THE LIGHT OF YOUR LIFE!!!

FAITH'S FREEDOM!!!
When we BELIEVE in *GOD*/CHRIST, surely, and, fully, there is HOPE, and, where there is HOPE, there are OPTIONS, where there are OPTIONS, there is INSPIRATION, where there is INSPIRATION, there is WILL, where there is WILL, there is ACTION, where there is ACTION, there is RESOLVE, where there is RESOLVE, there begins a state of CONTENTMENT, where there is CONTENTMENT, there is HAPPINESS, where there is HAPPINESS, there is PEACE, where there is PEACE, LOVE flows free, where LOVE flows free, THERE IS *GOD*!!! AMEN, and, PRAISE HIM eternally!!!

As I was finishing this post, I got a call; a distanced Friend, who spent her whole life in fear, rebellion, ignorance, and, alcohol, drugs, and, other such, has passed! She wasn't quite 50! Even after being put through the system a few times, she couldn't find the will, nor, the inspiration, to grow beyond herself! I don't think she EVER really knew LOVE, nor, happiness, she alienated what was right, healthy, and, healing! No one was able to reach her; over the years, we all tried, but, she was lost in her own choices! May *GOD* keep her soul!!!
The length of our days is in *GOD'S* hands, alone, and so, we MUST come to HIM, while we have the opportunity, and, GIFT of THIS day! It is imperative to now, of course, but mostly, to eternity! Make the sensible choice, and, TURN TO *GOD* for ALL you need, as, ONLY HE CAN provide THE WAY! ONLY HE can lead you through your storms! ONLY HE can TEACH you LOVE, as it IS! ONLY HE can save you!!!
*GOD* BLESS, and, BE with us all! PRAISE HIM, in all ways, all of your days, and, WORSHIP HIS HOLINESS, for it IS THE REALITY of existence!!!

FOUNDATION OF FAITH, IN ALL IT'S SPLENDOR...
MATTHEW 6:25-34...
25/ "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat (or drink), or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
26/ Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they?
27/ Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span?
28/ Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin.
29/ But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them.
30/ If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith?
31/ So do not worry and say, 'What are we to eat?' or 'What are we to drink?' or 'What are we to wear?'
32/ All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
33/ But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.
34/ Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.

WHEN *GOD* IS NOT PRESENT IN OUR LIVES...
Always present yourself as worthy unto *GOD*, and, others...
Throughout history, disrespect, and, disregard for others, has of course, existed, but, has become quite common in these times. Unfortunately, sadly, most of the evidence of these behaviours, is witnessed in our Youth, because, it has become socially acceptable to be mean, cocky, arrogant, even, to bully others! Adults, as well, especially younger ones, have adapted to this trend, and so, we have very hostile, as well as, painful for many, times on our hands!!!
In most behaviour problems, the root of such, can be traced to the Family, not necessarily the Parents, but, somewhere in the Family unit, although, Parents OUGHT to be able to detect, then, correct such. Yet, in these days, such SEEMS to on the cusp of being out of control, therefore, it takes the comm'UNITY', to alter, and, amend!!!
Such attitudes, and, actions, are indicative of the rule of the world, over *GOD*! People are, obviously, NOT living in the LOVE of *GOD*, otherwise, there would be no such trend! The evil one is busy, and, a great part of it, is due to ignorance OF *GOD*, and, *GODLINESS*, thus, it is NOT unfair, nor, unrealistic to say, that people are NOT receiving THE WORD, nor, are they receiving pertinent components OF what comprises the LOVE, which *GOD*/CHRIST, has commanded us to live in, and so, those of the Cloth, are also, responsible!!!
I have seen videos, have read about, and, have experienced the consequences of these faulty behaviours, which, ARE rampant in our society! People have killed themselves over being bullied, put down, treated badly, and, so forth! Elderly people have been devastated of spirit, listening to harsh, unkind, downright contemptible slurs! I can go on, but, you KNOW what I am speaking of, as, it has touched us ALL!!!
Time for *GOD*! Time for Adults to LEARN the TRUTH of LOVE! Time to TEACH everyone the WHOLE TRUTH! Time to turn the devil away! Time to represent RIGHTEOUSNESS, and, deflate evil!!!
HOW do we alter this deadly, destructive trend? We have to REACH, and, TEACH others! We HAVE to bring *GOD* into the forefront of society, after all, it IS HIS RIGHTFUL place, and, HIS MIGHT can perfect all which is wrong, bad, and, negative! And HOW do we do this? Through HIS WORD, AND, through VIABLE examples, OF HIS WORD; we HAVE to BE VISIBLE representatives OF HIM, HIS LOVE, and, HIS GRACE!!!
Pastors NEED to understand, if people aren't coming to receive THE WORD, THE SPIRIT, then, *GOD* has to be brought out into the streets, the neighborhoods, and, ANYWHERE where the ignorance of HIM, prevails! Families, Teachers, and, ALL those who have the power to influence, OUGHT to be taught! MOBILE DELIVERANCE, if you will! And, MUCH of delivering THE WORD, is done THROUGH EXAMPLE, through VISIBILITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN those called to represent HIM! It is time to battle evil with GOOD, in MORE than word, the ACTIONS of the FRUITS of THE SPIRIT, HAVE to be noticeable!!!
NO ONE in this life, deserves malicious treatment, especially, from people who are acting away from *GOD*! Of course, people who are the brunt of someones hostilities, need to do several things, which, begin with *GOD*, such as, saying, "*GOD* BLESS you!", LOVING THEM ANYWAY, praying for them, forgiving them, AND, realizing that they DO NOT have the power to destroy you, unless, you allow the damaging effects of their awful behaviours to seep into, then, sink deeply! Your worth is NOT measured by humanity, but, by *GOD*, thus, SHOULD inspire you to be able to stay ABOVE the opinions of others! I KNOW it is difficult to refrain from becoming affected, but, we MUST ATTEMPT, for such behaviours, truly, are only given power to flourish IF we allow them to! IF everyone could resist the onslaught of bad behaviours, they would have NO room for growth, thus, they would be powerless, and, eventually, it would take the sick pleasure they receive from acting in these ways, away from them...
ONENESS is a part of *GOD*, and so, we SHOULD UNITE in HIS name, to thwart what is at hand! ALL who are WITH HIM, OUGHT to STAND TOGETHER, to diminish the sharp arrows of darkness! Complacency HAS TO BE OVERCOME, in order for ANYTHING to be corrected! We have work to do, in the name of *GOD*, and so, let us FACE it, IN LOVE, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, for HIS sake, the sake of GOODNESS, and, the sake of the living!!!
MORE TO COME...

We have work to do, in the name of *GOD*, and so, let us FACE it, IN LOVE, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, for HIS sake, the sake of GOODNESS, and, the sake of the living!!!

CHRIST EMPOWERED: LIFE LESSONS...
Some lessons in the journey to *GOD*, will be repeated, over, and, over, until they make it to the center of our beings, in sensibility! Believe me, I know!!!
SUNDAY'S SACRED SCRIPTURES: THE SOWER...
MATTHEW 13: 18-23...
18/ "Hear then the parable of the sower.
19/ The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the kingdom without understanding it, and the evil one comes and steals away what was sown in his heart.
20/ The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy.
21/ But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away.
22/ The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit.
23/ But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold."
SO TRUE, and, ought to be read over, and, over, until the soundness, and, sensibility of this message is rooted deeply in the being! Just a couple of days ago, someone in my Family, whom has been having problem, after problem, fell away, angrily, and, wrongly, albeit, temporarily! Such a person is the second instance; the seed sown on rocky ground, but, at least, there is hope for this instance! Well, personally, I believe there is hope in ANY instance!!!
Many people in my circle, are like the third instance; seed sown among the thorns, but, lost in worldly anxieties, and, the lure of riches, and honestly, these are THE most difficult to reach, as they are, as I said, LOST in what the world offers, yet again, hope is ever near!!!
A substantial percentage of the world falls into the first example; seed sown on the path, who hears without understanding, and, without understanding, it is easy for the evil one to steal away, what was sown, and, yet has, the option to take root! The problem is, without understanding, such are difficult to reach, because, in their lack of understanding, the sense of what is TRUTH, is not planted in knowledge, and so, there is an inclination to ignore it!!!
What we SHOULD strive for, is the last instance, in which, we are the rich soil, ACCEPTING the seed, with understanding; then, with knowledge, working the soil, nurturing the seed, to, aids in it's growth, that, we are enabled to bear fruits, and, great yields, as such IS the evidence of the *GODLY* spirit!!!
You see, we have choices, and, while external stimuli, and, various factors contribute to where we are now, we ALWAYS have the choice of righteousness! We might be a rock garden, but, IF we choose, we can clear away the rocks, and, dig for rich soil, and, so forth! It IS a matter of CHOOSING *GOD* OVER all else, and, being consciously aware of ALL pertinents, which, sustain, maintain, and, produce, IN HIS NAME, TO HIS GLORY!!!
PRAISE THE LORD, our *GOD*, always, and, in ALL ways! BE EVER ENCOURAGED, BE BLESSED, by choosing TRUTH OVER the world, and, BE FREED from all else! LOVE always, and, PEACE be with us!!!

DESTINATION WEEKEND:)))
It IS FRIDAY: destination weekend!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
I pray that your week past, was full of LOVE, happiness, advancements, and, all things wonderful! If not, it is time to LEAVE the rest behind, and, fly towards rejuvenation, rest, relaxation, and, renewal of spirit!!!
My own week was one of tests, and, trials, but, my FAITH kept me ABOVE all else, although, trying to convince other people to do the same, was more trying! It is very difficult to reach people, when they have gone cold in the face of adversity, but, I keep on keepin' on, in the name of THE LORD, our *GOD*, because, a seed does not necessarily sprout, immediately:)))
Have a most BLESSED, awesome, and, wondrous weekend, and, be sure to keep *GOD* as THE most imperative focus!!!
*GOD* BLESS, and, BE with us ALL, PRAISE HIS name!!! With LOVE, I wish you PEACE, health, and, happiness, always:)))

WHAT A CHURCH SHOULD SAY!!!
WELCOME! You are about to enter the HOLY SANCTUARY of THE LORD, our *GOD*; therefore, please, HONOUR HIM, by leaving all negative behaviours, outside this door, such as haughty looks, judgement, gossip, slander, libel, prejudice, bias, self-righteousness, self-inclination, or, any mentality unworthy of THE LORD! Also, please, turn off cell phones, and, all other medias which, have the power to take your attention from THE LORD; this means, NO texting!!!
If you are yet, reading this, then, I welcome you to share in the WORSHIP of THE LORD, as we PRAY, PRAISE, REJOICE, discuss, and, further our spirits, in HIS HOLY name; come HUMBLY before HIM!!!
Church is more than brick, mortar, doors, beams, pews, alters, and, merely, appearing; it is the OPENING UP TO *GOD*, ALMIGHTY, in order to RECEIVE HIM, and, HIS GLORY, in which case, IF it is revered in honest sincerity, has long lasting, and, beneficial optimizations, for the spirit, thus, for our lives!!!
Let us now, enter the HOLY SANCTUARY OF THE LORD, our *GOD*, and, take what we are offered OF HIM, out into the world; LOVE, PEACE, HOPE, FAITH, and, ALL which is of HIS gifts! WE, HIS followers, and, Children, HAVE much to do FOR HIM, therefore, what we gather today, let us sow, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY!!! PRAISE HIM continually, and, take UP HIS MIGHTY name, that, it resounds throughout CREATION! AMEN!!!

HEBREWS 2:6-9...
6/ Instead, someone has testified somewhere: "What is man that you are mindful of him, or the son of man that you care for him?
7/ You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor,
8/ subjecting all things under his feet." In "subjecting" all things (to him), he left nothing not "subject to him." Yet at present we do not see "all things subject to him,"
9/ but we do see Jesus "crowned with glory and honor" because he suffered death, he who "for a little while" was made "lower than the angels," that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
INDEED, HE IS WORTHY of our attention, humility, and, of our attempts to becoming as is HE!!! PRAISE HIM, eternally!!!
THE MIGHTY *GOD* WAVE: TRUE EMPOWERMENT...
How far are we from *GOD*? One thought away! While the deceiver infiltrates our rightful state of existence, via the egocentric mind, *GOD* is granted FULL presence, via the controlled mind! The mind which is, ruled by the heart of hearts, and, all which is POSITIVELY GOOD, JUST, and, RIGHT, void of the taint of the deceiver's tactics, and, ploys...
Which is why we are taught to place *GOD* BEFORE all else, that, HIS presence is strong, and, sure enough, to KEEP us out of the nets of deception! WHEN *GOD* prevails, all which is right, is ever near!!!
Each day, not just when we need HIS intervention, protection, or, whatever, we should clear the mind, and, make room for THE LORD to interact with us, in sincerity, openness, and, trust, that, HE IS the prominence of our day, of our direction, of our growth! While HE wants us to work through the issues at hand, HE wishes us to be optimized, with understanding, WISDOM, knowledge, and therefore, BE capacitated BY HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, and, HIS LOVE! HE also, LOVES to be in direct communication with us, that, greater ease, and, support, become the standard of finding, and, maintaining THE WAY!!!
*GOD*/CHRIST, does not scream out directions, instructions, or, whatever we need, instead, HE, quietly, and, deliberately, moves mountains, within us, through us, and, around us, IF the flow between HIM, and, us, is channeled, in which case, HE effectively, and, efficiently, makes things happen! We HAVE to be OPENLY RECEPTIVE TO HIM, in order for HIM to do HIS thing! HE is NOT a genie in a bottle, thus, know that it is a two way course to fulfillment, comprehension, and all, which, empowers us!!!
HE moves within us, and, speaks to us, through the spiritual mind, which is the reason we are to remove ourselves from the carnal/fleshy, egocentric mind! The egocentric mind is full of useless chatter, and, is self-inclined, whereas, the spiritual mind is on the *GOD* wave, riding on the crest of achievement, attainment, and, full throttle BLESSEDNESS, although, one should not imagine that, this means materially, because, that is far from the reality of what HE endows us with, yet, in some cases, HE HAS added unto individuals, materially, but, we should understand that, HIS GIFTS are HIGHLY motivated, BECAUSE, what is material, is ever passing away! HIS GIFTS are eternal, and, life enhancing!!!
How near is *GOD*? More near than the hairs woven into your scalp! And, far more precious than anything in existence! Open UP to HIM, and, HE WILL be your constant, and, loyal companion, bringing to you, all things which, move you to the HIGHEST planes of existence! PRAISE, and, WORSHIP HIM, for HE, alone, has it ALL in HIS control!!!

WHERE THERE IS THE LORD, OUR *GOD*...
Where there is *GOD*, there is LOVE, where there is LOVE, there is TRUTH, where there is TRUTH, there is PEACE, where there is PEACE, there is FAITH, and, ALL things wholesomely good, healthy, right, and, POSITIVE, are in the mix!!!
ALL WONDROUS things ARE prevalent, yet, in the human condition, are, seemingly, ungraspable, due to the negative egocentric being! Thus, UNTIL one loosens the binds OF the world, of the egocentric, carnal being, and, LIFTS UP to *GOD*/CHRIST, in TRUTH of spirit, the wonders of *GOD*, remain, but, seem out of our reach!!!
CHRIST, our LORD, appeared to SHOW us the TRUTH of what IS, WHEN we attach to HIM, OVER what is of the world! HE taught us, HE led us, and, HE empowered us, IF ONLY, we REALIZE the TRUTH of the fact, that we are spirit, NOT flesh, thus, FREED from bondage TO this old, troubled world!!!
WHEN you submit to THE LORD, PEACE becomes the standard, BECAUSE FAITH IN HIM, is the norm! We TRUST HIM, IN ALL MATTERS, and, LOOK TO HIM, for ALL resolve! We KNOW HE LOVES us, and, that HE IS ever with us, moving in, through, and, around us! We ALLOW HIS WILL to be done, in cheerful acceptance, because of LOVE, FAITH, and, TRUST IN HIS righteousness! We UNDERSTAND HIS FAITHFULNESS TO THE FAITHFUL, and so, CAN BELIEVE in HIM, in ALL matters!!!
Humanity cries out, and, wishes for many resolutions in their lives, YET, we blindly, cling to what is NOT reality; the drudgery OF this world, and, we THINK we can work through this alone! UNTIL we cling to *GOD*, alone, all which is of this world, will drag around with us, weighing us down, discouraging, and, defeating our efforts! The deceiver is expert at obscuring, what is RIGHT BEFORE US; THE TRUTH, THE LOVE, THE PEACE, THE FAITH, and, which, IS OF *GOD*, therefore, we MUST relinquish our HOLD on this world, because it is, without doubt, unhealthy, in ALL regards!!!
*GOD* IS THE STRONGHOLD of PROVISION, in ALL regards! *GOD* IS THE ROCK, THE FORTRESS, THE REFUGE, THE ALMIGHTY! HE ALONE HOLDS ALL YOU NEED, now, and, forever!!!
Loose the binds! Be free, find PEACE, walk in LOVE, HOPE, FAITH, TRUST, and, HE WILL add to your life! Surrender the egocentric being, and, submit unto HIM, and, you WILL find lasting contentment, and, WILL be enabled to journey through the minefields of deception, unharmed! PRAISE, and, WORSHIP THE LORD, our *GOD*, for HE, ALONE IS WORTHY, and, IS ever there FOR us, with ALL LOVE, compassion, and, care!!!
JOHN 10:25...
Jesus answered them, "I told you and you do not believe.
JOHN 10:16...
I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
JOHN 20:29...
Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."

A WORLD FORMED BY LOVE...
This world WAS formed by LOVE, with LOVE AS THE SUSTAINING FORCE! *GOD* IS LOVE, and, HE LOVES this world, despite all of the unfavourable incidents of HIS people! Thus, OF LOVE, HE HAS set forth for us, THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIGHT, that WILL enable, enrich, endow, empower, encourage, and, enlighten us, as we journey in this allotted time span, called life!!!
It is not simply, a matter of understanding LOVE, it is a matter of UTILIZING it, in it's fullness, that, it so elaborately, provides for us, and, this planet! LOVE IS THE ANTIDOTE to ALL which is wrong! LOVE IS THE ANSWER! LOVE IS THE GIFT! LOVE IS THE KEY! LOVE IS ALL, and, EVERYTHING, forever, and, forever, and, forever! AMEN!!!

Alas, the deceiver, in his wicked schemes, has always known the exact ways to veil the reality of LOVE from us, and, when LOVE IS working for us, he has ways to discourage us, HOWEVER, if this is the case, it is because we have shifted from *GOD*, to the world, and so, no one is to blame, except ourselves! The deceiver ONLY has power when we allow him to!!!
We HAVE to DILIGENTLY, embrace, understand, and, develop LOVE, FAITH, and, HOPE, for these three things, hold benevolences, infinite! Within, is safety, and, all things *GOD* given, to enhance, and, elevate the spirit; the TRUE being! Not only that, these three imperatives, PROVIDE for ALL in existence, thus, eliminate what is wrong!!!
I LOVE *GOD*, thus, I LOVE LOVE, and, I REALIZE the POWERS in LOVE! Never in my life, will I relent from taking LOVE deep within, and, making it as a mirror of my soul! PRAISE THE LORD for LOVING us, no matter what, and, for PROVIDING for us, THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and, THE LIGHT OF HIS LOVE, that, we can pattern our spirits IN the TRUTH of their origin!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO THE GREATEST FATHER IN EXISTENCE!!!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to the GREATEST FATHER, existence ever knew, and, thank YOU for YOUR LOVING-KINDNESS! Honestly, I cannot begin to express my gratitude for YOUR LOVE, for the lessons YOU have taught me, for the protection, guidance, comfort, and, provisions, which YOU have so generously lavished upon me, upon the world! A LOVE such as YOURS, has NEVER existed, and, NEVER shall; for YOUR LOVE, alone, is pure, incorruptible, infinite, and, graciously MERCIFUL!!!
I have begun to understand YOU, as much as I can, and, I have to say, YOUR WAYS ARE mystically empowering, TO life, and, to the living! Some don't realize that, the lessons, and, instructions YOU have set forth, ARE FOR THE GOOD OF ALL IN CREATION! NONE of YOUR instructions are for any purpose, but, for our own good, and, safety, as well as, to maintain PEACE, harmony, and, happiness, in the world!!!
I wish ALL Earthly FATHERS, could follow YOUR sensible WAYS, YOUR precepts, and, YOUR COMMANDS, because, I have SEEN, through the LACK of embracing them, what has become of this world: broken Families, unhappy people, and, Children, whom have had to endure things beyond their age, and, reasoning! IF we were WISE enough to follow YOUR WAYS, this world WOULD be EDEN! I SEE, clearly, through the mess we have made of things, the SOLID SENSE of YOUR WAYS, and, I am even more indebted, and, appreciative of YOU! After all, we have the advantage of YOUR SON, whom, despite the world's throes, remained perfect, BECAUSE HE understands the measure, and, good, of YOUR WAYS, and, TOTALLY, respects them, so, it is even more confounding, that, we DON'T 'get' it! What better example could we hope for?!!
YOU know, I gave YOU some tough times, and, I am sorry for that, but, I KNOW YOU LOVE me, and, hope, with all my heart, that YOU WILL, always forgive me! I think YOUR LOVE is perfect, and, so, on that LOVE, I have redesigned my life, as YOU know, but which, I want YOU to understand, is from the depths of my being, in sincerity, and, humility, FOR the wrongness of the past! I don't feel guilty so much, as I feel silly, because, IF I had been taught properly, a long time ago, I would not have had to put YOU through so much, yet too, I believe that all things have happened according TO YOUR WILL, and, here I am today, at YOUR service, proclaiming YOUR name ABOVE all else, and, following YOUR WILL, to the best of my ability, and again, I have to say, THANK YOU, for YOU spared me, MANY times, and, led me to this day, with a LOVE so indescribable, and, so immense, that, it gushes forth as all the waters in CREATION, to fill, then, overspill, in, and, from my being!!!
It is FATHER'S DAY, and, TO YOU, I pay tribute, for YOU, ALONE, ARE the MODEL of what a FATHER is! I LOVE YOU, so, in that LOVE, I feel the need to HONOUR YOU, in my ways, for the rest of my days!!!
BLESS YOU, my LORD, PRAISE YOU, THANK YOU, and, ALL GLORY BE UNTO THEE, forever, and, more!!!
To you worldly FATHERS, especially those who have taken the time to BE FATHERS, and, understand the imperativeness of your role in this life, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, may *GOD* BLESS, and, BE with you, always!!!

I don't feel guilty so much, as I feel silly, because, IF I had been taught properly, a long time ago, I would not have had to put YOU through so much, yet too, I believe that all things have happened according TO YOUR WILL, and, here I am today, at YOUR service, proclaiming YOUR name ABOVE all else, and, following YOUR WILL, to the best of my ability, and again, I have to say, THANK YOU, for YOU spared me, MANY times, and, led me to this day, with a LOVE so indescribable, and, so immense, that, it gushes forth as all the waters in CREATION, to fill, then, overspill, in, and, from my being!!!
It is FATHER'S DAY, and, TO YOU, I pay tribute, for YOU, ALONE, ARE the MODEL of what a FATHER is! I LOVE YOU, so, in that LOVE, I feel the need to HONOUR YOU, in my ways, for the rest of my days!!!
BLESS YOU, my LORD, PRAISE YOU, THANK YOU, and, ALL GLORY BE UNTO THEE, forever, and, more!!!
To you worldly FATHERS, especially those who have taken the time to BE FATHERS, and, understand the imperativeness of your role in this life, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, may *GOD* BLESS, and, BE with you, always!!!

HE 'IS' *GOD*, THE ALMIGHTY, HAVE FAITH, AND, TRUST IN HIM!!!
Some things in *GOD'S* world, are put to the test, to strengthen, fortify, and, perfect them; one such thing, is FAITH! FAITH, along with LOVE, are VERY difficult to come by, let alone retain! FAITH has to be ROOTED, within; STEADFAST, CONSTANT, and, UNWAVERING, especially, in times of trouble, trials, and, tribulations! It only makes sense, because, what measure of TRUE FAITH is there, in good times???
MANY of FAITH, waver in their resolve, when presented with trying times! They struggle to retain FAITH, but, deception is ever near to mess with this FAITH! AT ALL TIMES, we SHOULD be able to say, "It IS in *GOD'S* hands, HIS WILL SHALL be done! I BELIEVE, and, TRUST IN HIM, OVER ALL else, thus, despite the weight I am bearing, it IS IN HIS control!" Then, we move FORWARD, and, UPWARD, IN the spiritual being, comforted, and, controlled IN our FAITH!!!
EPHESIANS 6:10-18...
10/ Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power.
11/ Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.
12/ For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.
13/ Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.
14/ So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,
15/ and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.
16/ In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all (the) flaming arrows of the evil one.
17/ And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18/ With all prayer and supplication, pray at every opportunity in the Spirit. To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones...
It is like this, when you waver in FAITH, due to circumstances, usually, beyond your control, you are NOT letting *GOD* BE the ALMIGHTY DELIVERER, and, are regressing back to the egocentric being, who, tries to tell you that, it is within your power to alter the current state! Not that we don't have some effort to apply to what is at hand, but, ONLY by the GUIDANCE, PROTECTION, and, DELIVERANCE of *GOD*! TO HAVE FAITH IS TO TRUST HIM COMPLETELY, FOREVER, NO MATTER WHAT! To have FAITH is to BE SUBJECT TO *GOD*, and, *GODLINESS*, and, NOTHING else! What is hurled your way, should NOT subject you, for such, is the testing OF FAITH; instead, it is a perfect opportunity to FURTHER your BELIEF, and, alliance with *GOD*/CHRIST, BY TRUSTING HIM to move you through, and, past what is at hand!!!
When you waver in FAITH, the state of what is occurring, can remove you from *GOD*, IN AN INSTANT, then, you are in danger from the evil of this world, SO, FAITH is SAFETY, EMPOWERMENT, ENABLING, and, ENCOURAGEMENT! FAITH IS STRENGTH of spirit, then, strength of being! You are CAPACITATED THROUGH FAITH, to carry on!!!
*GOD* IS THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF ALL IN EXISTENCE; GENIUS beyond genius! HE DOES, CAN, and, WILL move mountains, waters, and, the Universe! HE IS THE AUTHOR of EXISTENCE, and, THE POSITIVE LIGHT which HEALS, AIDS, RESTORES, and, REPLENISHES, ALL IN EXISTENCE!
ISAIAH 45:18-19...
18/ For thus says the LORD, The creator of the heavens, who is God, The designer and maker of the earth who established it, Not creating it to be a waste, but designing it to be lived in: I am the LORD, and there is no other.
19/ I have not spoken from hiding nor from some dark place of the earth, And I have not said to the descendants of Jacob, "Look for me in an empty waste." I, the LORD, promise justice, I foretell what is right.
PSALM 46:2-12...
2/ God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.
3/ Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken and mountains quake to the depths of the sea,
4/ Though its waters rage and foam and mountains totter at its surging. The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
5/ Streams of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High.
6/ God is in its midst; it shall not be shaken; God will help it at break of day.
7/ Though nations rage and kingdoms totter, God's voice thunders and the earth trembles.
8/ The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
9/ Come and see the works of the LORD, who has done fearsome deeds on earth;
10/ Who stops wars to the ends of the earth, breaks the bow, splinters the spear, and burns the shields with fire;
11/ Who says: "Be still and confess that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth."
12/ The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
1 CORINTHIANS 10:13...
No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.
I could write an entire volume, describing WHY OUR FAITH SHOULD BE HONED TO PERFECTION, BASED upon *GOD'S* MIGHT ALONE!!!
*GOD*/CHRIST, IS ALL, and, EVERYTHING! There is NOTHING WITHOUT HIM, NOTHING BESIDE HIM, thus, it SHOULD be easy to TRUST, and, BELIEVE in HIM, but alas, deception is ever near, though, THE LIGHT OF HIS POWER, IS AS A SWORD through the darkness! We can CHOOSE to be ONE with HIM, or, we can choose to be separated from HIM, BY listening to the damaging chatters of the egocentric mind!!!
When times are bad, this IS when our FAITH is put to the test, and, we SHOULD be able to TRUST IN HIM enough to believe IN HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, HIS POWERS, OVER all else! Consider: HE IS ETERNAL, all else is temporal, thus, what has come to this day to disturb you, UNDER HIS POWER, is also, subject TO HIM, IF we SO ALLOW HIM to work HIS PERFECTION!!!
BE STRONG, BE ENCOURAGED, BE STEADFAST, and, know that, this too, shall pass! PRAISE THE LORD WHO GAVE THIS DAY, and, ALL therein, to work HIS MIGHT through what is! THANK HIM, WORSHIP HIM, and, REJOICE in HIS LOVING name!!!
*GOD* WILL FIND A WAY, BELIEVE IT!!!

PUT OUT A HAND, IN THE NAME OF LOVE!!!
People talk about those who are lost,
Forgetting, their own souls were purchased with a cost;
They shut those out, whom, most need,
Trying to keep salvation, in the folds of, a strange sense of greed...
A Man is down, a Woman is abused,
So many, running around, confused;
Forget the judgements, and, put out a hand,
Lead as many as you can, to the Promised Land...
Share with others, the power of THE HOLY GHOST,
As, in the name of LOVE, you, rejoice, then, boast,
Lift someone from their worldly, ways,
Show them THE TRUTH, which, grants good days...
We all belong to the FATHER of CREATION, who,
Gave us the responsibility to carry through,
As many as we can grab onto, from the worldly throes,
To bring them 'round, to what their spirit, knows...
Next time you decide someone is not where they should be,
Do what is right, and, lead them, gently,
Beyond what has taken over them, expose them to THE LIGHT,
Dear people, IN LOVE, do what is right...
True, not all, desire to be freed from the bonds, still, we never know,
True, not all, desire to be freed from the bonds, still, we never know,
Especially, when we condemn them, and so,
We must always, try,
To awaken them to their rightful heritage, ON HIGH...
LOVE does not sit by, and, allow others to be taken away,
Instead, it opens up the path, to THE WAY,
Never forget, danger is everywhere, even for you,
We are in this together, besides, LOVE has COMMANDED us to breakthrough,
The shackles, chains, and, snares, to bring, safely home, those we can get to!!!

Billy Joel - The River Of Dreams
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep

To a river so deep
I know I'm searching for something

By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night

God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land
In the middle of the night

Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams

1/ For I want you to know how great a struggle I am having for you and for those in Laodicea and all who have not seen me face to face,
CUT THE CHASE, GET DOWN WITH LOVE!!!
All that *GOD* has set before us; THE WORD, the instructions, the COMMANDS, the PRECEPTS, the trials, and, tribulations, ARE because of HIS DEEP, and, UNRELENTING LOVE for us!!!
HE IS PERFECT, just as, IS HIS LOVE for us! The first CREATED couple, brought forth many incidents, and, instances, with their disobedience, but, HIS LOVE NEVER faltered, though, because of the rule of evil, HE DOES aim to teach us, show us, and, remind us, of WHOM IS THE ALMIGHTY, EVERLASTING, BEGINNING, without END, and so, we may have to suffer some, in order to find the TRUTH, which, resides inside, but, is veiled, due to evil, and, it's deceptions...

COME TO THE LORD FOR ALL YOU DESIRE...
Passions, desires, wants, and, needs, are the mines in the minefields of the enemy of *GOD*! We feel SO deprived, in this life, as we struggle, suffer, and, face obstacles, that, our passions, desires, wants, and, needs, EASILY, open up to what is wrong in the sight of THE LORD, because we find solace in what comes of them, more readily, than we do in HIM!!!
Until our last day, passions, desires, wants, and, needs, are going to be with us, HOWEVER, we are to TRAIN these towards *GOD*, that, our fulfillment is NOT of this world, but, from HIM!!!
MANY people, even extremely Devout people, have become ensnared in their passions, desires, wants, and, needs, BECAUSE they could NOT channel them, towards *GOD*! And, the more you resist some things, the more attractive, the deceiver is going to make it to your egocentric being! The egocentric being SHOULD be well controlled, especially, in the case of the extremely Devout, but, that old serpent IS bent on disproving devotion!!!
*GOD* will ADD to us, IF we TURN to HIM, in complete surrender, fear, LOVE, regard, and, devotion! HE has promised it, and, while, that which HE adds to us, might not be what evil will offer, what *GOD* offers, IS EVERLASTING, TOTALLY FULFILLING, and, without depreciation!!!
How many times have you tried to comfort yourself with worldly goods, just to find, in time, that the same passions, desires, wants, and, needs, remain? How many times have you obtained, just to, later, feel just as deprived, or, empty, as before? Don't you realize this is so, BECAUSE, they did not come OF THE LORD, and, that your thoughts, and, heart, were NOT with HIM???
We HAVE to be aware, then, realistic! There is DIVINE reason for us to seek *GOD* before ALL else; in doing so, we DO find fulfillment, satiation, pleasure, riches, and, whatever we need, they are simply, on the plane of SPIRIT, not, flesh, BUT, they are eternally satisfying!!!
ANY TIME we feel deprived, empty, and, unrewarded, we MUST turn to *GOD*, for HE, ALONE, holds ALL resolve, ALL provision, ALL we need! HE CREATED ALL WHICH IS, therefore, we MUST TRUST in HIM, for what it is, that we most desire, TRUE fulfillment!!!
COME TO HIM, with openness, with sincerity, with your thoughts, and, COMMUNICATE with HIM! Then, IN FAITH, move on! PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIM, and, GLORIFY HIM IN BELIEF of HIS gifts to you! It is in such ways, we LEARN to RELY UPON HIM, OVER all else, and then, ARE satisfied, beyond measure!!! ALL GLORY BE UNTO THE LORD, OUR *GOD*, SAVIOUR, and, HOLY SPIRIT!!!

INTERNSHIP IN THE HIGHEST RANKING FIRM, INFINITY!!!
We are to do good, and, be good, in the name of *GOD*, which means, we are to be conscious of our thoughts, actions, and, reactions, at all times, in all instances, and, in all circumstances! Yet, *GOD* KNOWS we are going to fall short of perfection, because, the human condition, even though we are of spirit, is in the mix, HOWEVER, we are not to give in to that human condition, nor, use it for an excuse, still, it WILL keep us far from perfection! Our work is to put forth as much effort as is possible, towards perfecting the being...
Trip, slip, stumble, and, fall, we surely, will, but, we must realize, despite deceptions insistence that we are lost when we do so, this is part of the proving OF *GOD'S* people, thus, we must NEVER feel defeated, instead, we must repent, PRAY, correct, and, ask for HIS intervention...
Ok, it is like this: you have graduated from College, and, have taken an internship at a prestigious firm, WITH the promise of eventually, becoming a major player in said firm. You have LOTS to learn, and, WILL make mistakes, but, your sights, and, hopes, are ON THAT PROMISE, so, you become deliberate, efficient, effective, conscientious, diligent, and, though, you make mistakes, you DON'T let that become a bigger obstacle, instead, you LEARN from those mistakes, and, become more understanding of HOW things operate, so that, you are enabled to RISE to that promise, WITH the advantages of first-hand knowledge, gained from experiences, lessons, and, overcoming what was necessary!!!
THE WORD works in much the same way, and, *GOD* IS the FIRM, whose PROMISE(S), you aim to secure, through internship, which, is called Discipleship! The benefits/perks, kick in from the start, and, are UNLIMITED!!!
I have said it before, and, I repeat it, we make things WAY more complex than they need to be, but, of course, deception is hanging in the balance, to disillusion us, convince us that we are incapable, and, all sorts of other LIES, which, honestly, hinder, then, defeat large numbers of us!!!
Take it one day at a time, WITH *GOD*/CHRIST, as your advisor, your focus of intent, your TRUST, and, your inspiration! Don't ever imagine that you can do this alone, ONLY HE can lead you through the heavy blanket of adversity! ONLY HE can deliver you! ONLY HE can teach you! ONLY HE can optimize you to ARISING to that BLESSED PROMISE, and, ONLY HE can make the effort easier, by the hour!!!
*GOD* IS SUCH PURE GENIUS, I LOVE HIM more every day, as HE blows my mortal mind to bits:)))
Be serious in your walk with HIM, keep the FAITH, move forward in LOVE, and, LEARN ALL YOU CAN FROM THE MASTER OF CREATION, and, you WILL be on your way TO HIS PROMISES:)))
May *GOD* BLESS, and, BE with us all! LOVE & PEACE, always, dear world...

Solomon, the Wise, and, HIGHLY favoured KING, through time, relinquished his sense, and, sensibility, to his arrogance, passions, and, desires OF this world! He became Wise in his own estimation, thus, he forsake *GOD*!!!
It is unknown, and, mostly, irrelevant, to us, if his favour with *GOD*, brought him to repentance, or, being saved, but, one thing is for sure, his life IS an IMPERATIVE example, and, case study for ALL, in that, his sense, and, sensibility, which, were derived from, and, given, by WISDOM/*GOD*, did NOT survive the onslaught of worldly temptations! Probably due to his self-assured state of comfort in that he was SO exceptional, that, *GOD* would forgive him anything. You see, despite his state of BLESSEDNESS, his egocentric being, obviously, remained affected, thus, under-developed, by the world's offerings...
Spiritual maturity, and, WISDOM, are difficult to come by, and, MUST be maintained, no matter what, BECAUSE, evil will NEVER relent, as, it's sole objective, is to disprove the worthiness of Mankind!!!
Sense, and, sensibility are SAFEGUARDS to what you have acquired, and, will acquire!!!
WHEN one becomes OVERLY assured of their stance with *GOD*, danger IS ever, nearby, and unfortunately, KNOWS our weakest point(s). THUS, we HAVE to REMAIN as if we were just beginning our walk with *GOD*, always; eager, willing, humble, and subject to HIM, ALONE!!!
Regardless of how much we know, we should be astute enough, in WISDOM, to REALIZE, that, in the world, we are NOT safe, without the CONSTANT presence, and, protection of THE LORD! We have to consciously, and, deliberately, desire *GODLY* conscientiousness OVER ALL ELSE, and, FIGHT to retain it!!!
Solomon had great purpose to *GOD'S* plan! His remarkable life, held powerful lessons, for all future generations! One of the most vital is, arrogant self-assurance, towards *GOD*, or life, has NO place in claiming *GODLINESS*: we should take NO gifts of *GOD* for granted, especially with the egocentric being, INSTEAD, we should revere them, and, REJOICE in them, continually, ALL the days of our lives, IN gratitude OF HIS GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, and, benevolences!!!
1 TIMOTHY 1:19...
by having faith and a good conscience. Some, by rejecting conscience, have made a shipwreck of their faith,
1 TIMOTHY 6:12...
Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.
1 TIMOTHY 6:19...
In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
EPHESIANS 6:10-17...
10/ Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power.
11/ Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.
12/ For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.
13/ Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.
14/ So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,
15/ and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.
16/ In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all (the) flaming arrows of the evil one.
17/ And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
AMEN! PRAISE THE LORD, our *GOD*, SAVIOUR, HOLY SPIRIT, and, DELIVERER, at ALL times, in ALL ways!!!
