To Those Who Walk Close ...

This word came to me recently as I was focused soley on our Lord. To those who walk in His Spirit close to His heart, it has meaning and carries reason for great joy ...

The Lord asks:

"How long can a horse go without water? How long can the cattle thirst before they die? Of how much greater worth are my people? I hear the words of the humble. The ground is parched and fallow. It lies cracked and abandoned in my fury. But for the sake of those who cry out to me in honest spirit, comes the rain."


"Let it fall upon the Godly and the wicked alike in the hope of their resurrection. Let those who walk in my spirit now dance for joy in the rain of my spirit. I will honor their courage in the darkness as they honor me in spirit and in truth."


"Even now the skies grow dark with the heaviness of the foretold weight of my spirit. Even now flows the wind warning of its' coming. Let the people of God come out from their houses in anticipation. Let the weary look up and take courage, for I hear the words of the humble. I am not hard hearted toward the children I cherish. My heart breaks at their suffering."


"Let the thirsty drink to their fill and not be ashamed. Let those who lie near death be refreshed and receive life from it. Let the scattered faithful rejoice for my name shall be raised again among them and I will bring them together in my spirit to be strong against the desolation of the earth. They will gain strength to defeat the lion who devours and not be conquered. But their strength will be my spirit, their victory will be at my hand. I hear the words of the humble, so comes the rain."

Pure Religion

I've struggled with the term "religion" for a long time because it has come to carry a connotation for me of something orchestrated, institutional - a perfunctory exercise. My preference instead has been to highlight my belief that what our God desires from us is instead "relationship". Then I ran across this and I had to pause... "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you." James 1:27 (NLT) " Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world ." James 1:27 (KJ) It doesn't matter the translation, it appears the same. And in it I denote a familiar spirit. I recognize it from scripture after scripture dealing with the care of, and justice for, the widows and the fatherless... "Sing to God, sing praises to His name;...

Fear not.

There's a lot going on in the world and a lot available to provoke fear for the future, but I have a question for anyone who might feel themselves tempted to fear - If you truly know God, does He ever change? “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 (NLT) We stand reinforced in our understanding and belief that He does not change, so... "The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer;  I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life  and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT) I know that I said that I had "a" question, but I actually have another - do you really, truly love Him? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heave...

What If...

"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. "  Hebrews 4:12-13 (NKJ) I'm not one who appreciates the stoking of fear for the sake of it or unnecessarily. There are enough things in this life to keep people concerned and even constantly fearful if they subscribe to them. I would like though, to take a moment to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ and any others who will take a little time to read this and give it some serious consideration because the subject has real   potential  consequences and there's still time to address any issues that we find upon reflection... If you were made aware that   sometime in the next hour  your life on earth was ...
