Consider this... And be awed by God!

We are so sometimes so muddled as human beings... We say that we can date and time with accuracy and we think we know it all, because we can move the hour hand of the clock backward and forward to gain more light for the day, but God's way is different! A mere man when he needed more hours of light used the power that God had given, to fulfill purpose... He made SUN STAND STILL and SLOWED TIME DOWN! To this day he is only person who has been recorded to have done this AND this was actually proven by science... Einstein proved using his Law of Relativity, that the passage of time is relative to light and that time is measured based on the distance of the perceiving object from the source of light, (in our case the sun). So, the farther away from the source of light we are, the longer it takes to perceive light and the faster the velocity of time. On the other hand, the closer we are to the source of light, the shorter the span it takes to sense light and the slower the velocity of time, leaving more moments within one beat of time to get much accomplished.


God is no respecter of persons... we must not settle for the ability to manipulate time, we must reach for The One who is able to slow time down and stretch moments to accomplish purpose... Consider this: We may think that Joshua stopped time for what seemed to be a whole day, but since time was slowed and our understanding of it measurements is limited by perception, those moments could have spanned a day, or it could have spanned many days or even a thousand years!  Consider this... And be awed by God!


◄ Joshua 10:13 ►
So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.


◄ 2 Peter 3:8 ►
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.


So the conclusion of my matter is this: The farther we are from The Light of the world, the longer it takes us to sense The Light and the faster the velocity of time - the less that gets accomplished over a longer span of time in the world. But, The closer we are to The Light of the world, the shorter the span it takes to sense The Light and the slower the velocity of time - Much more gets accomplished during Kairos moments through and with God!

 ◄ Luke 1:37 ►
For nothing is impossible with God."


◄ Exodus 14:13 ►
But Moses told the people, "Don't be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again.

Let us press on to know so that we may say:

 ◄ Psalm 31:15a ►
My times are in your hands...


Shalom!

This is a prophecy.

There is an era that is to come, that is coming and lo is come when the hidden things of God, of science and of nature will be revealed and unveiled to an unprecedented degree to ALL who will seek to know...Yahweh. Inventions never before seen, heard or imagined... This will all stem from the transformed MIND that yields its meagerness to the vastness of the One who dwells in eternity and outside of time... Scholars will arise to challenge that which is known and thought to be established in stone; Poets will speak and write about the imaginably unimaginable, ministers who by the power of The Spirit, will topple the edifice of religion, much like Babylon was destroyed...
Electricity we know, magnetic force we know, computers we now know, but THESE are just the tip of the iceberg... There will be an explosion of knowledge and creativity as never before seen or experienced... The time is coming and now is...

◄ Acts 2:17 ►
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

◄ Daniel 11:32 ►
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

◄ Revelation 19:10 ►
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

See that you worship no man, but hold fast to the testimony of Jesus – The Word of The Lord , and you shall see the glory of The King!

I walked into this place… It was large and there was music in the air. People seemed to be connected, but strangely separate and in their own private world, with their own personal person in their own personal space. Eyes meeting; smiles breaking off, floating towards their target, to find expression on another’s face. 


There was something very different about this room… EVERYTHING was different in this place… Dwelling filled with activity, yet deep silence prevailed, exuberant yet reverent, very ordinary in a paradoxically exotic way, and amazing in an altogether natural way… Heartfelt tears flowed only to start up again, melody's envelope, could this be heaven?


Robust bellies laugh; content to let it all out, but voices in muffled murmurs woven within strident outcalls, all brilliantly blended – the rainbow of the soul. The bass of the cello, poignant tones of the oboe in bright versatility, powerful progression of musical scales and tones.

There is no visible leader, but the voice of authority called out, no obvious order of happenings, yet in its own time, each tome appeared. Man spoke, but the Voice of God echoed and reverberated in each and every one heart… Sorrow turned to joy, Discouragement to hope, humility birthed out of the death of haughtiness, behold a dearth of self and plethora of love…

Hearts renewed, spirits revived, Light into darkness, let there be and there was… Is from was, to be as a result of is, but all in all to fulfill what had been… The mystery of moments unfettered by the movement of quartz… Finally, the calm, Peace be still, Life come forth, “who touched me?” No shame, BethEl not Bethesda, stand not wait upon, For He is everywhere – The Voice, The Breath, The Power, The Fire...

This was the place I was to be; The place I longed to be - This, the presence of God...

Dying to Live Again...

Why am I doing this? Why do I keep doing this? Is it worth it for me to keep doing this? OK… YOU don't have to answer the questions, but I had to answer them with regards, to my faith in Christ in order to make meaning of where I was coming from, and to understand towards whom and where I am headed... My journey has taken me hither and thither, but finally led me back to Christ and His love and His Word… This was, and is a scary journey for me which is why I probably why I initially didn’t want to face it because I knew it WOULD rock everything I knew or thought I knew... I started by asking myself some questions that form the BEDROCK of my faith, and I knew that if I could answer these questions, I would be well on my way to knowing where to go from there...

These are the questions I started asking myself which led to some pretty dramatic changes in my life:


1. What does this being 'born-again' thing mean to me?

2. What exactly have I been born into?

3. What IS The Kingdom of God, and why should I seek it first?

4. Does living in God's Kingdom start here on earth, or are we 'born-again' to endure here, until we get to the 'palace' in the over yonder.

The Holy Spirit stripped me, helped me, is still helping me, prodded me, is still prodding me, pruned me, and is still pruning me. He is now building me back up to the 'who' that I am. It's not always pretty or tidy, but it always me, and not a "piously christianized' hologram.

Now for me, merely being in a church building or just attending a service does not form the basis for my fulfillment. My hope is built on the Truth that Jesus loves me, that I am saved and that I can live in Heaven right here on Earth, and not think that to gain heaven, I have to suffer through life on earth. He is showing me His way of being, doing and living; He is MAKING me LIE down in green pastures... He is restoring my SOUL!

I have been freed from a superficial performance-based existence in a quasi-politico-religious, rat race cum social ladder climbing world of ‘churchworkerdom’. He is teaching me to do not my will, but His. I now question EVERYTHING and regard myself, (have to reckon myself) a Word ‘virgin’ EVERY TIME I come into contact with the Word that I may know Him and Him alone. Radical I know, but this is what I had to do: I had to die so that I could begin to live again…

◄ John 11:25 ►
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

PS I do appreciate my church family, but for me, being a child of my Father is what makes anyone my family.

Navigating these waters otherwise known as emotions is tricky business. Watching out for rapids and undertows, is a full-time job! Thankfully that job's not mine... Holy Spirit *sunantilambanetai!!!

*Help in Greek

In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words... Romans 8:26

You don't have to prove anything to anyone... Your existence is proof enough... Stand tall and own it!

◄ Psalm 3:3 ►

But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

Y'all have a great 'Stand Tall' week!

Principearls - It's Time To Sit Back...

The things in our life experiences, that have made us the most uncomfortable, brought us the deepest pain and greatest frustration, may have been destined so to catapult us into the sphere of the realization of who we really are and to accomplish what we were born to... The key is not to ask "why me" from the perspective of the problem, looking downward, but from the perspective of ones person, looking forward...
