It is that blessed time of year to refect our Blessed Fathers Earthly Journey

A time to repent, pray and give!   May I begin this journey openly with a prayer of penance toward my own inward to journey to the cross.  I will be posting my spiritual writings as I make this journey this year. For God has given me a vision of myself that is not all that it might be as a warning to dig deeper into my own pool of  faults before questioning those things that are to be....Many of you know, I have been working leisurely at questions to pose if we are living in the dawn of the Lords Day.  I had a personal vision of my spiritual self, So I take leave of this to look deeper into myself and what I have found so far disheartens. Never the less I continue with one mere reflection of my vision applied to me I found and I pray to my Lord for:

Embarking on my journey of lent my journey to the cross you may say the first call is to repentance.  A self examination of just how sin ridden I am encrusted with selfishness, eroded in self indulgence I am the epitome of denial.   Corrupting myself and all too often the Spirit of Christ within me, truly I say woe is me.  Carefully clothed in my Christianity using it to insulate my Spirit allowing me to appear and even act on the word of God while internalizing my own sins in a mountain of self justification.      Fully embracing the intimacy of Christ within me, while failing to express outwardly the beauty and grace within the gift of forgiveness.  Insolating and isolating myself in fear of reproach, reproach our loving Father has already covered the price of…How filled with foolishness I am!  I pray to my Jesus for these are sins I have no recourse within my own knowledge to overcome that he show mercy, his loving kindness that I not be swallowed up in my sin.  Repent is the cry in my heart yet I know not how to repent of such childish foolishness. Clothed carefully in my cloak of Christianity to ward off those of the world, and shielded gallantly with my sin to ward off those of the Lord; I in myself imposed isolation draw on the word in my whirlwind of hope that I might somehow please the Lord in my sinful state.  For thy sake dear Lord that those who see my hope in you are not dismayed through my sinful lack of faith and disobedience. I offer my selfishness onto you Lord to teach and guide me into overcoming these sins in and of your love for me For you have shown me Lord my spiritual continence embedded and encrusted with darkness without; with only glimmers of your light escaping helplessly trying to give to those in deeper entrenchments and holes of darkness while in a tomb of darkness myself.  Build in me Lord the will power to remove the crustiness, of my own selfishness impute in me the wisdom to walk out of the dungeon of self indulgence I have created in the light and truth within your Holy Spirit dear and faithful Jesus I pray in your mighty and exalted name a prayer of penance. 

My first step in my vigil to the cross in this year of our Lord 2011.

Christmas Prayer

Christmas Prayer onto my Lord

I pray this Christmas Season all men remember Thee, to give to you a gift of love in a warm repentant heart. To set aside all anger, to set aside all strife and malice that You, Sweet Jesus work within our hearts. We give onto you Lord all harness in our hearts.

We celebrate Your birth Lord, giving thanksgiving to our God, for in His mighty wisdom He sent You from above. He granted permission that You should be salvation to His children that night so long ago. That my Sweet Jesus would depart from all He’s ever known: the presence of His Father, the center of truth and love and the gladdened streets of gold. To lie in a splintered manger in rags and cold that all on earth might share the wisdom and knowledge through salvation the light within Him would hold.

God knew Jesus would bare our weakness, sin, iniquity, malice and strife that we might see and understand to reconcile our hearts and join with Him through His confession of our plight to walk forever in the light of God’s eternal Love...

We give you all thanksgiving we send you all our praise for we stand unworthy of the honorable price you paid. Work within our hearts Lord we offer them to Thee. May You cleanse our hearts anew Lord as we stand in remembrance of your trials in grateful anticipation that you will set us free. Take from us Lord those things that hinder Your Spirit and give to us a heart of flesh washed clean of sin and iniquity and write your word upon it that we might better serve Thee; seeking ever after each mystery of Calvary.

We praise an honor Thy name Sweet Jesus for Thou are our guiding light, raise up in us Your Spirit Lord that we might honor Thee. For onto Thee goes all glory, all honor, all praise as we celebrate your birth Lord let your gentle mercies and loving kindness lead us gently to Thy presence within our hearts.  Anticipating in hope and love as your return grows ever nearer.

Humbly I offer a present to my sweet Jesus, it’s my heart I give, that I may be all that Thou meant me to be. Work within me daily Lord that I always do my part, I give to thee my sins and iniquities from my beginning to my end, that Thou might wrap me in your gentle mercy and cleanse me from within. Humbly I offer God, that now I stand within Your promises of all that I can be, through that gift of Love to all that night so long ago.

So humbly I offer Lord unworthy I do stand, full of sin and sorrow I give myself to Thee that I might gain wisdom and understanding of all the mysteries of Calvary. That I might receive wisdom as my sister and understanding my best friend that I might serve Thee as worthily as man can stand.

In Your precious name Jesus hear my prayer draw near and guide me!
Amen….

Welcome to the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Ten!

Welcome to the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Ten!
I pray your year is filled with wholesome yearning to draw closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that He fill the desires of your heart!

As we enter this New Year in the grace of our Lord I want to set my spiritual goals for 2010!
To somehow communicate the reality that it does not matter what we call ourselves Catholic, Baptist, Methodist or Pentecostal. We are all under the blood of the same savior Jesus Christ. Where our methods may vary in our worship practices we are all given to worship the only begotten Son of God Jesus Christ. Let me proclaim from the start that I am a seeker of the Mysteries of my redeemers word in all things, born from above through the grace of my dear saviors blood I have been cleansed and seek to fulfill my quest in seeking His righteousness that my journey here be pleasing in the sight of my God. Am I with sin? Yes, for where I not I would be purposing that God is a liar! But by grace my sin is covered by the love of the Father toward the Son and the Son toward the Father in the saving grace of the Holy Spirit through which they allow us to abide in the Son through His trials at Calvary that we manifest this truth; and this is the truth known in my heart.

KJV 1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

As the children of old so are the children of today some are goats and some are sheep…goats listen with earnest yet do not hear nor give their selves to any understanding. There is only a pleasant sound in their ear as they give ears of no understanding. And lift beautiful melody onto our Lord from their lips with their hearts scratched but never pierced that the blood and the water of their Father might give them understanding. Covetness and malice lies in their hearts creating a hardness that keeps the word of the Lord from being written on their hearts. They make merry with just the taste of goodness never desiring to submit to the fullness of the Word they hear! Perceiving no depth nor height nor width in the words spoken. Be ye not goats yield building your love in Christ that ye in truth be His vessel for His Name Sake….not yours! My words seem harsh even in my own hearing…so I will end this goat talk here praying earnestly that you receive my words in love. For God gives gifts on to all goats and sheep that His word be accomplish among us, Use not these precious gifts to promote yourself but rather to bring His love to all nations. There is such a fine line between judgment and discernment ask God that you always have a clear understanding for our purpose is to love one another and share in His bountiful gifts and graces. Not to divide from each other in fear, for fear is not of God. Be a good judge and discern those who love and serve him, examine their faith inquiring of their heart and the truth within or the lack of it will then show you where their love is cast.

Paul teaches us that teachers teach for all reasons some to their own bellies, but to dismay not….For the spoken word of God has power beyond our reason be glad that the word is reaching so many ears for the Lord will draw neigh to those he will draw n near to for all things are for His purpose and choice. For there are many vessels in the house of the Lord…Focus on those who have not heard or have heard and been victim to the harshness of religions that examines only the flesh and passes judgment that the Lord has reserved for Himself; For He alone can see the heart we can only experience the fruit or lack of fruit in their words and ways

This is a personal feeling and only from my heart and experiences. For I feel the greatest mission field of all is right here in the United States for we are given to such crisp and fast judgment of each other; that many have come and retreated from the church for the experience they had with some of the goats…We need the non judgmental love of God to manifest in our hearts that we can draw them to His Word and they not suffer lack of knowledge from our hands.

As it is written there will be a great falling away…let us not be a creator of this but a source of God’s word within it….We must not under estimate the power we have given over to the evil one in the 2000 years past. But be aware for it is written that if God not shorten the time all would be lost…the cunningness of the deception I fear is great! May we stand strong in the word of God manifested in the flesh to die for our sins and be a constant and reliable source of the truths within Jesus Christ.

Communication brings intimacy

Intimacy with God
Through good Communication


Communication is a vital part of every relationship, especially our relationship with God!

Communication is the basis of every thing we do, everything we have, every thing we want. It is the foundation of all relationships.

When communication is good
· We have deepen and enrich relationships
· We grow closer more intimate
· We are aware of each other needs and desires


What happens when communications fail
· Relationships weaken
· Relationship can begin to become riddled with uneasiness
· We are less conscious of others needs and desires

Do you agree that good communication is the groundwork needed for a good relationship?
Then how would you rate your communication with God?
Are you communicating in your relationship with God?
How often do you talk to God?
How many times a day do you talk to your family members, husband, wife, mom, dad, children friends?
Do you spend as much time talking to God?

Do you even talk to God each day?

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you? -- unless indeed you are disqualified.

Do you manifest the great gift that God has given you? Your ability to have and intimate relationship with him!
Intimacy with God!


Does it require the same communication skills as your regular relationships?

Yes, When communication is good, you talk regularly and give and take in understanding of the others needs in relationship to your own. This giving and taking understanding and communication deepens and enriches your relationship. It creates intimacy. An intimate relationship creates a desire to fulfill the desires of each other.

What is the main emotion that creates and environment for an intimate relationship to survive? Where does communication come from?

Your head? Your heart? How much time and effort do your put in communication? When you know you have to talk to someone about something serious what do you do; or even more when you want something? Think about it! Do you think about how you feel about it? Using your head and heart? To think over how you will say it, do you consider the reaction of the other person. Do you even guess what the other person might say? God knows those very things and is waiting for you to share them with Him.

As a Christian, sealed in your heart is the spirit of the living God, who is panting for you to think about him prick your heart, and communicate personally with him. He desires your communication. NKJ Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."

NKJ Luke 11:9 " So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Do you have any one in your live where you have cultivated a good intimate line of communication? It is hard to do with another person! Usually those people are few over our entire lifetime. However God encourages a close personal line of communication through His son, Jesus Christ on a continuous close daily basis.


NKJ John 14:13 "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

What a promise that is, think about that! Ponder in your mind.

Try this one again 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you? -- unless indeed you are disqualified.14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

We have the promises of the creator of all that is….the great I AM, are you doing all you can do to keep your relationship alive through prayer. We are the creation and sanctuary of the great sacrifice of love God enabled us to be through his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Each promise in the bible is the hope and love of the great love of the Father and the Son that by the Holy Spirit we seek out each promise and bring it to its fullest. We are each intricate parts of a whole and we need to pursue out part in the fullness that is the body of Christ; for he created each individual to be a vital part of the body of Christ.


2 Corinthians 1 :20 tells us that all the promises of God are completed in Jesus Christ. “For no matter how many promises God had made, they are “yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

How can we be assured of His promises? Through His word.

Hebrews 6:17 & 18 tells us “God wanted to prove that his promise was true to those who would get what he promised. And he wanted them to understand clearly that his proposes never change, so he made an oath. These two things cannot change: God cannot lie when he makes a promise, and he cannot lie when he makes an oath. These things encourage us who came to God for safety. They give us strength to hold on to the hope we have been given”.

Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you?

The bible has a promise toward every human condition



from Matthew 6
25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

From Ephesians 4
2 one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.


From Luke
"Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
"If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?
"And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind.
NKJ Luke 12:30 "For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.
NKJ Luke 12:32 "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

NKJ Luke 12:31 "But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
And we know from Romans 8:28-38
NKJ Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

Nothing can separate us from the love of God
Do you have these words written on your heart?

Make sure you do! How? Good Communications with God through his Son in whom all promises will be fulfilled. Prayer. Prayer and more Prayer
know your Saviors Love through Jesus Christ embrace the intimacy that he has called you to….

Communicate with God and see all your relationships grow and thrive through the love of Jesus Christ. Else……think on these words


NKJ Isaiah 10:3 What will you do in the day of punishment, And in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory?
NKJ Isaiah 10:4 Without Me they shall bow down among the prisoners, And they shall fall among the slain." For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.

Get intimate with God through prayer….Communicate your heart that he might renew your mind in Christ……

Notes from my journals

Random notes from my journals:
My words come only from experience that I have forgone and may not have as of yet arrived too… so I share my experience that you know others have experienced what your are experiencing. For within each manifestation of the Spirit we learn our wisdom and our knowledge is yet cardinal and just a mere grain of sand in the vastness of God’s glory and grace…
For when we puff up in our own eyes we error
for nothing is by us --- But all is by Christ Crucified.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________



We are the rivers of the love of Christ, and our dams are the offense we allow ourselves to indulge in. The parable of the fig tree needs to be searched out further in our knowledge and wisdom, for God wrote if you understand this parable you will understand all parables.
Understand offense in our heart is that which chokes out, it is the tare that grows within; it is what disallows firm growth of our root. Gods love is to flow like a river in which we should be totally emerged in for we are the current that moves the water. Each offence we allow ourselves to embrace creates a dam upon our river.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My spirit weeps for I know bitterness ought not be in the children of our most high God! Those who love the Lord should love also his commandments.

NKJ Matthew 22:37
Jesus said to him, " 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 "This is the first and great commandment. 39 "And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

NKJ Romans 13:9
For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. 11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

Let not bitterness and strife manifest in your life. Find love and forgiveness for love manifests your journey to seek the fullness in Christ.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Renew your mind in Christ and know that He is God. For you need to stay saturated in His truths. Always ready in heart, mind and soul to state to all who inquire That Jesus Christ is Lord, Son of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Joseph begotten by the Father of All. And know this in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. Now are the days to draw close to our Jesus Revelation 16:15 "Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

(The picture to the right is a beautifully sad picture of the Risen Christ standing amid naked bodies bearing crosses on their swords un-resurrected)

Romans 10:9-11 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and
Believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."

Have your confession continually refreshed in your spirit for the days are coming where our submission to the Trinity of God will be our protection against the wiles of the times. Remember always that God Has promised us and his word is truth.

2 Corinthians 1:20-22
For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.


Jeremiah 17:7
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD.

Spiritual goals

We have a need for personal Spiritual Goals

Many years ago I was intrigued by Psalms 2 and 12

NKJ Psalm 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

My prayer became a desire to Kiss the Son; did I accomplish this as I look back I wonder where is that passion today?

I would like to share with you however my journal on this spiritual goal and how I responded to it at the time. However I shall once more ask God to renew my mind and passion as I once more seek to kiss the son.

This writing came from my 1994 journals:

My heart it is forever sealed with a search for abidance with my Father, for those who have glimpsed at his Glory know. There is no knowledge worth seeking lest it be of God. There is no wealth worth having lest it be of God. Our minds cannot conceive the wonder of God’s Glory; lest God seal us with a kiss. It leaves your heart forever willing to seek the words that please God’s ears, a heart set by God in search of the words to please God’s ears, for this simple act brings from within God’s peace. There is no other lest it be of God to share the wonder and Glory he stored away for us, less we glimpse at the kiss. Hearts forever bonded to share eternity with God. All made possible through God’s son Jesus the mystery unfolded in His flesh, blood and love displayed at Calvary. For from his flesh we learn the mystery and glory of His Kiss. Had I ten thousand live times it would never be enough to search one simple moment of the Son and the Glory Glimpse within His kiss. Yes, I strife forever more to know the Glory of one moment of one Kiss. To know each word he ever said, to abide daily within His love to share his wisdom and knowledge that others might see the glory waiting behind a simple kiss.
The tie that binds together the weary and the lost, for unto their destiny the words they share binds them together forever through the Masters love. That they might see the Glory he stored away for us. Seek the wisdom of the cross; seek the kiss of Jesus from above to seal your heart forever to His work and to His love. For once you glimpse at Glory no other way you see except His loving kindness sent down from above written in the word of God and written on your heart for all eternity. A bright and morning star awaits those who earnestly seek the Master; from above comes the birth that ignites eternal love. Clothed in scarlet for their battle to win the hearts of man onto the words of God written on their hearts from above, pray for strength and knowledge to fold this battle won for robes of white linen presented only from above. Battle lines are being drawn our hearts the means of strength to Jesus goes all glory and honor for it is of in Christ our strength lies; to strive to have the heart of Christ to learn daily of the plight He underwent that we might fight the fight. Jesus won all the battles He fought and overcame all our plights we must see his glory to understand His life. For truly there is no other, lay down your cardinal robes so Jesus knows you’re in the fight present them in humbleness for through their submission you will know a new life for Jesus already paid the price. The war is won the price is paid shall you be dressed for glory or just another fight? I humbly beseech thee Lord give us to understanding Lord of the things you say that warriors we may be, your sons and daughters assembling for the fight. I lay down my cardinal robes and flee nameless in the night, that Thou would bring me knowledge of my stand in the fight, for onto Jesus I give my soul my willingness to fight all goes onto His glory for Jesus hast saved me from the night. Become my imagination my being and my live for I will serve no other except my Jesus whose blood has saved my life. These things I ask my master, my redemption, in my king Jesus’ name. Amen
