Habben Ah

I didn't intend to post this, but two words came to me simultaneously as I finished writing it. I've never heard or read the first, or known them in any way together, so I looked them both up. After doing so, I understood that there was something worthy here. I sometimes write just to organize my thoughts - to build an expression or offering from my heart to the Lord without posting them. The definitions of those two words are in the closing... 


I've discovered a love that far exceeds the emission of humanity and I dwell in the soothing waters of its source. To succumb to the draw of any other would be the tragedy of settling for poverty, for I dwell in the intended Living Water that brings new life continually.

Lord, You draw the people to yourself by the essence of Your perfect character and person. It's by Your hand that they are rescued and by the price of Your own suffering that they are brought to redemption. No one is as selfless or as generous as You. You redeem and renew the unworthy. 

You contend with the hearts of those You have called and it's by the conviction of your Holy Spirit that the truth is brought to bear on the object of Your desire. You confronted me and my soul awakened to the truth when I responded in sincerity and earnest.

My name is now also called Israel, for I have contended with You and with my own soul and won adoption - being grafted into Your own household and people by Your planned design. My love now responds to Yours and my life is made complete in Your presence. 

My loyalty lies willingly surrendered at your feet and my heart is forever Yours to claim. I am what You call me. I will be what You will me to be. I have what You say that I have and all other thoughts perish in the face of Your truth. You are my Lord, my God and my friend. I seek to serve no other master.

How I got here is not by my design, but by Yours when You formed me and breathed life into my eternal spirit. You gave me life. I give it back as a willing captive of Your love and endlessly amazing character. Who I declare that I am now is simply and gratefully Yours.

Lord, I desire that all that You call would awaken to find the Author Of Love in their midst and rise to contend with their Creator. To be allowed to place hold on The God Of Heaven and be caught in His grip is for the repentant heart to find completion in submission to the truth and your preordained plan. 

Lord, I desire that none should perish that might know You fully, that none should be lost who would be willing to bring You pleasure by submitting to Your rescue and find themselves made forever complete in your presence. This is my loving desire for Your own heart Lord, that the reward for all that You've done and all that You are would be so great and bless You profoundly, eternally.

Beware Of Available Poison

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1 (NKJV) At the risk of sounding like the proverbial broken record, I can't help feeling the urge to repeat a common theme of a number of my previous posts. I feel driven to repeat it especially in these last days when the continually changing circumstances around us may leave us searching for the low hanging fruit of easy comfort in words that may tend to soothe us, but lack the proper context that they were intended by God to be carried in.. What I say here is more intended toward those that have not exercised diligence in consuming for themselves what the Lord has given us in scripture, scripture that has the ability to bless us in so many ways when rendered as The Author intended. Not the least of these is the ability to spot inaccurate, and even boldly spoken, false teachings of the day. Keep in mind that the enemy...

This "Christ"mas...

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:8-14 (NKJ) As "Christ"mas approaches it usually finds me refreshing my knowledge and understanding of what I believe that it is that we as "Christ"ians should be celebrating in our observation of the event of Christ's birth. I do this in ...

The Price Of Divine Desire (Reposted)

  We often stop to think about our own circumstances - our own wants and needs. Our own desires are continually within a hairs breadth of our current thinking... How often though, do we give any thought to what Jesus wants - to what He's allowed Himself to desire with a costly passion? Do those thoughts guide the response to Him that we're living out? When Jesus began His ministry in human form on earth it was with the desire to please His Father. He knew what He wanted and He already knew beforehand what it would cost Him. The price was very high, but wrapped up in that desire to please His Father was another desire also - because what the Father loves with such passion, the Son loves passionately as well.  As Jesus ministered to the people that came to hear Him along with the others that He encountered during those 3 years of His adult ministry, He demonstrated His love for His Father by His obedience, but He also demonstrated the love that He had for people. It was and is a...
