REPENT REDUX

As the Holy Spirit illuminates and washes us with the TRUTH, our erroneous thoughts and feelings can be seen and understood. One must be brave to stop what they are doing and drop the conventions of this world to see the reflection and complexity of the lie we have consumed. Few enter there, into His exposure of TRUTH and His required adjustments, for it is a narrow passage. Our minds may not comprehend and even recoil as it sees itself in light of His TRUTH, but our spirits welcome the freedom the TRUTH extends to us.

What’s The Journey?

Humanity has been called to REPENTANCE since being the dust of the ground, receiving it’s first breath at creation.  But like the words of Jesus, REPENTANCE has not been spiritually discerned. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. John 6:63

The first words of Jesus in His service to humanity were to REPENT for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The intention of Jesus and His call to REPENTANCE has not been Spiritually discerned and the life in that call has been missed.

If you have read this far and said, I believe. I have repented of my sins.

You have not understood the Spirit and the life in the first call of Jesus, the call of the Father since the garden.

HINT: Repentance isn’t about you.  It’s about The Father and listening for His voice. And doing what He says.

 THE JOURNEY I have been on for the last three years is about the INTERCESSION of God, The voice of the living God, every word that proceeds from the mouth of God being listened for. A monumental, easy yoke.

The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.

I have come to understand I live off of His INTERCESSION in REPENTANCE. This is His desire for us, the breathing dust He formed in His image.

THE JOURNEY started with hearing His question in my spirit, 

“What Am I Doing Right Now?”

ie. What are the words proceeding from My mouth right now?

ie. ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’

That’s how THE JOURNEY began and if you are anything like me, you won’t be able to answer His question without seeking, asking and knocking for the understanding.

THE JOURNEY 

Every moment His voice listened for as the treasure of my heart.

Everyday His voice followed without guilt or shame.

For anyone who has an ear to hear, let them hear.

For Such A Time As This…

I rejoice in the Spirit of TRUTH, who is real, living and active in this world!  

For such a time as this, we are being given an opportunity to see what has been hidden for decades!  Ponder that one.

He has used regular humble people to expose deception and deceit and it goes far beyond the innocence of the man at 1600 Penn. Think!  Ponder this as it unfolds.  

Is the end of this trail a light upon the man of lawlessness?

Think eternal purpose.

FREEDOM, FOR FREEDOM’S SAKE

In forsaking the Tree Of Life, that is nourished in the Holy Spirit, there is nothing left to dine on but OUR perceptions of good and evil, right and wrong born of the Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil. The TOTKOGEA.

It is a meal of death as promised, and in that, we bite and devour each other as OUR perception of righteousness becomes the mark of godliness instead of Christ; who grants complete freedom to not listen at all, and pursue a belief that is wholly and totally dead.  I wonder, if this a real important Ponder Stop?

What Does Surrender Really Look Like?

What if one day you recognized that you needed to surrender all to Jesus?  

And then after spending some time pondering, considering and heeding His words to the world, you came to understand the truth of His words that apart from Me you can do nothing.  

What does surrender really look like?  🤔

So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.”  LUKE 8:18

The First Voice

Your Word spoken is upholding all things.  Washing through the soul and spirit and plunging to the depths of their division, even the joints and marrow of all humanity. 

The thoughts and intentions of the heart are laid bare and known by You. You speak first and man may inquire of You.  Your Living Water flows to an ear to hear, the pioneer for praise of the First Voice.

Yours is the First Voice. You originate all things and will bring all things back to the subjection of the Words You have spoken.  You have recorded Your Words in the Lamb’s Book of Life and You will reconcile all things to that Word in the end. 

There is nothing hidden from You.  You see the scheming of humanity as they seek to make a reputation for themselves beyond the easy yoke of repentance You have formed in them. 

Why do the nations plot as narcissists?  In love with themselves and what they think they have gained?  Seeking fame for themselves when Your Word is the Alpha and Omega. 

God’s Gap is the lacuna for the cleansing waters of Your Living Word!!  Fill the thirsty souls and mend the broken hearts.  Your Name and Your Word is exalted above all things!

LUKE 3

Here is a .pdf with all the key words highlighted in color.

…preaching [a baptism of repentance] [for the forgiveness of sins]

The opening verses of Luke 3 have two wonderful strings of “word nuggets” that begin the chapter. They bring deep confirmation and insight for the pregnant question the living word brought to me in the Spring of 2016, to seek and inquire of Him, for “What He is doing right now”.  This question led me to His understanding that “I live off of His intercession in repentance”.  These two passages in Luke amplify His understanding and I will use the words of the text to bear witness to His living word spoken to me nearly three years past, as well as, this morning.

PS 4

The word, WORD in the bible is derived of many origins, perspectives, motivations, and states of being.  Some human, most not.  Some intellectual, most not.  Though the words can be written, understanding is not available to all who can read, and though they can be heard, understanding only comes to those with ears to hear what the Spirit is saying.

If the Rhema is not sought of the Logos you are more than likely lost and without understanding. Eating and bearing the fruit of the forbidden tree.  Maybe this is a real important Ponder Stop?

I offer encouragement to WORD UP!

PS 3

Repentance and forgiveness are not the same thing.

Everyone in this world is forgiven! The Debt has been canceled!

Not everyone who has been forgiven this debt lives in repentance seeking to follow with, after and behind the intercession of the Spirit of Truth.

Exactly How Much Of This Existence, Labeled As Life, Is An Outright Lie?

8-8-18     mp3 audio

“Exactly how much of this existence, labeled as life, is an outright lie?”

This is a question the Holy Spirit posed to me while I was writing The Bridge, the 10th and final piece of a two year chronicle I was led to designate as, “The Journey“. Continue reading “Exactly How Much Of This Existence, Labeled As Life, Is An Outright Lie?”

The Bridge

THE BRIDGE Audio on Soundcloud

In music, especially western pop music, a bridge is typically a contrasting section, juxtapose the verses and chorus.  Typically the bridge of a song will carry an altered rhythm, a tempo shift, a melodic variance, a lyrical sidelight that offers a change in focus or brings reflection.  If done well, it could give a sense of pause or rest to the listener or even draw one to subtly pine or hunger for the return of the chorus, “I live off of His intercession in repentance”

The Second Verse

THE SECOND VERSE   Audio on Soundcloud

In the early days of picking up a guitar to play, I learned two chords.  Upon mastery of those two chords I was inspired to strum a variety of rhythmic patterns between the two and suddenly like a flood, melody began to spring from my heart.  With time spent, music theory and many more chords and instruments were learned and it was off to the races writing songs, placing words in accompaniment to those melodies.

The Journey

These 8 communications encapsulate the last two years of the With, After and Behind life the Holy Spirit has walked me through.

THE MOST HATED WORD / WHAT AM I DOING RIGHT NOW? / WHAT AM I DOING RIGHT NOW? II / C.U.J. (k-oŏ-əj) IN GOD’S GAP / WHAT A GREAT QUESTION! / FREEDOM FOR FREEDOM’S SAKE / TWO TREES / TWO TREES TWICE

TWO TREES TWICE

1-8-18   Audio on Soundcloud

Welcome to this eruption of contemplation born through the voice of the one offering up continual intercession.  Who for those with an ear to hear offers a front row seat to bear witness to the mystery and intrigue He continually speaks of.  The revelation in His words birth deep consideration and understanding of the One and only eternal God and Father and His Christ. With an ear to hear these words, they become like water to the roots of pregnant expectation, like a treasure hidden in a field that is happened upon with joy.  In this unsought presentation He brings to the witness, His desire to hit the mark of His purpose in the heart, to birth a heeding and understanding of the words He speaks.  To that end He offers His supplication, begging earnestly in conversation for His audience to draw near, like a knock at the door.

TWO TREES

9-30-17   Audio on Soundcloud

A little more than eighteen months ago a man was struck by the Holy Spirit like a bolt of lightning.  The simple words of His voice, “What Am I Doing Right Now?”, ignited a glorious and galvanizing blast to the spirit of the man.  It revolutionized and fundamentally transformed him with the understanding, God is not now, nor has he ever been sought, but in all ways, He seeks and leads by His Spirit with love and grace and that yoke is easy because it is for anyone with an ear to hear and a heart to follow. Continue reading “TWO TREES”

Freedom, For Freedom’s Sake

9-3-17   Audio on Soundcloud

Being still at heart and listening.  The meditation and conversation of God through the Holy Spirit is the breath to the soul that blows out crusty custom in His gusts, while depositing peace in His insight and understanding.  In the dynamism of His voice, unsolicited questions arise, as He reaches out in desire to produce unity with the Father and confirms His aspiration to complete the work He has begun.  This is the prelude and epilogue to being led to this passage on freedom and slavery.

WINNING (A treatise on athletics, or running the spiritual race)

Starting with the greatest winner in history Jesus, who abandoned himself to the will of the Father for the cause of reclaiming mankind for God.  He who was never subject or prisoner to circumstance is THE victory because He let nothing stop Him from completing the task of winning.

So what is winning? Continue reading “Winning”
