Military Families Perusing Psalm Twelve

Military Families Perusing
Psalm Twelve

 

Perusing For: Purpose-Truth

As a person in a military family/friend what truth, what purpose of God do I see in this Psalm for me and my military warrior?

• I Like Verse 6! I See God's Purpose All OverIt!
  The words of the Lord are perfect. They are like silver made pure in a clay furnace. They are like silver made pure seven times over.
  
• This verse really shows the purpose of God's Truth! Always! Always Your Word is with us and has been since the world was spoke into being by AWE-GOD Constant-Consistent -- Omnipresent-Omnipotence!
  
• God, Your Word is always powerfully perfect for every situation of military families as we struggle to grow through our deployments in times of war and in times of peace.
  
• Jesus, Your Word is the perfect common denominator for our purpose, hope and peace. It is full of Kingdom Purpose in a constant-consistency that gives us hope and courage!

Perusing For-Promise

What is God promising my military family/friend in this Psalm? What promise can I hold on to this week as my promise for them?

• Verse 5 And 7 Are Powerful Promises That Will Always Comfort Us!
  5 The Lord says, "The weak are beaten down. Those who are in need groan. So I will stand up to help them. 7 Lord, you will keep us safe. You will always keep sinners from hurting us.
  
• When I first read verse five, it just really touched my heart that God would stand up to help me and then I read verse seven and the promise was sealed with an always! How sweet is that?!!
• As I read these promises, I realize the hope of this truth that is quieting my fears with God's peace: Always You, Almighty God are present to protect, keep, guide and defend my warrior in body-spirit and soul! Always you will be with our families in spirit and truth as we grow through our deployments.
  
• The promise the Holy Spirit speaks to my heart right now is: God will always keep our families united, being the common denominator of our all and everything by His Spirit-Hope-Peace as we spend deployment time separated by continents with concern for our warriors as they battle with those who terrorize the freedom and lives of all men.
  
• In response to the promise of these two verses all I can say from my heart to God's is this: Father God, Your Omnipresent Justice and Omnipotence always targets with Kingdom purpose and huge hope, giving our military inner peace-strength with promise as they continue to defend our freedoms for our country and make liberty ring louder and better for people in other countries!

Perusing For-Praise

What does God show me in this psalm about praising Him?

• I Chose Verses 2-3 Because True Praise Is All About The "Always Of Our God"!
  Everyone tells lies to his neighbors. With his lips he praises others, but he doesn't really mean it. 3 May the Lord cut off all lips that don't mean what they say. May he cut out every tongue that brags.
  
• I realize when reading this verse there is false and true praise! I guess it depends upon the motive of our hearts and whether our praise is horizontal or vertical! Hmmmmmm! I can really see through this verse that when we become too focused on ourselves, on our own independence- we become braggarts. When we brag- we do not praise God, we praise ourselves. I wonder if when we brag about our God, if our feet are not centered in the gospel of His love and hope and our walk is not pointing people to Christ... I wonder if our praise is false! Hmmmmm! Interesting verse! That is why I picked it! Food for thought... LOL!
  
• False praise is something our military encounters a lot with the Taliban because their praise is centered only in self and not based on true reality. They brag to pump each other up and their praise has nothing of the Truth and Presence of our Almighty God in it. I am thinking that false praise that comes from braggarts is really dead praise, it goes nowhere except to the graveyard of words that don't make the eternal distance. False Praise=Dust! True Praise=Always All About-Unto Our God!
  
• Our warriors need the strength that praising God brings to them, so I hope huge for "True Praise" to rise up in their camps; praise unto God that will bring forth a purity of strength in their hearts and carry them forth in courage and tenacity through their days. True Praise Unto God Enables Warriors To Know The Might Of Their Savior!
  
• Lord, thank you for showing me the difference between bragging and praising because I realize it is a matter of the heart and where it is attached too. The issues of our lives do arise out of our heart of worship and what we care about most and that is why we need to cling to God, dig our roots deeper in His love and devour His Word! Warriors Always Praise Unto And For God! AWE-GOD!

Perusing For-Prayer

What verse can I use as a prayer for my military family/friend this week?

• I Like Verses 1-3 Because They Show And Tell The Real Human Condition!
  Help, Lord! Those who do what is right are gone. Those who are faithful have disappeared from the earth. 2 Everyone tells lies to his neighbors. With his lips he praises others, but he doesn't really mean it. 3 May the Lord cut off all lips that don't mean what they say. May he cut out every tongue that brags.
  
• Oh! We All Have "The Human Condition" Of Fleshing Out The Evil In Our Hearts! Our hearts are wicked at times and we do need to diligently guard our hearts through prayer and the word of God. We just need to do it! I know I do! As we face the stress of being a Military Family, we need to guard our hearts! I don't want to be one of "those" who don't do what is right, to be lumped in the category of "gone"! Lord help us to say what we mean and mean what we say and to not only wear Your Name but to be Your Character-Purity-Righteousness as we grow through our lives in military families! Always! Constantly-Consistently Always Being Yours And Acting Like It!
  
• Sometimes I feel like I am going to throw up when I see the news reports of the vileness of war! When I get thoroughly disgusted and horrified by the hideous acts of our enemy, and fear, worry and anxiety start to rise in me, I always turn to God and cry out for help and He is always there to listen, comfort and balance out my weak flesh with His strength. PS! And as I listen to the fictitious threats of the Taliban against our military, I like these verses -- a lot! Can you see my smile? LOL!
  
• Reading these verses, I realize life is all about the "Who" you serve with your heart passion! The taliban do not know any law higher than themselves – but that does not make the Omnipresent-Omnipotence of our God any less! The taliban have absolutely no value for human life and that is why we know we need to pray for God's help to understand and withstand them! They are a vicious enemy that is always plotting some coward act of evil behind your back! But God – He is the consistent-constant in this war and in the life of our warriors! Jesus is consistently and constantly interceding and intervening for our troops. He is an always-faithful advocate in the land of terror where there is nothing right as lawlessness is soaked in human dysfunction by the principalities and powers of evil.
  
• Sometimes when I hear the taliban brag on news reports how they are going to kill all Americans, I can't help but feel so helpless! I pray and cry for God's help for my warrior, and instantly the comfort of God's truth comes, the truth that we can always trust our God to be the consistent-constant aid and to make all things right. Therefore Pray! Ask God For Help! He Is Always There For Us, As A Formidable Advocate! He Can Handle Anything! Let God Be Enough! Because He Truly Is! He Is Always, Always, Always For Us And Bringing About The Kingdom Best In Us And Through Us! AWE-GOD!

Perusing To-BE His! Just Do it

As a part or head of a military family, which verse helps me to be better, to act better, to trust God the best this week?

• I Like Verse Five! I See In It That Whatever We Are Growing Through, Jesus Is Simply-Significantly Our Enough!
  Now will I arise, says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed, because of the groans of the needy; I will set him in safety and in the salvation for which he pants.
  
• Praying and laying out all our fears, worries, hopes and dreams before our God, we realize quickly that He always brings us to a constant position of security in His Grace and a place of safety-salvation by His consistent omnipotence. We need to place our military families in His capable hands and Let God Be Enough!
  
• I read this verse and I realize this: I Must Be Found In Belief! How do we do that when we face so many emotions and fears each day our Military Warrior is at war and daily their lives are in danger? Military Families, we must settle it! We must settle the truth that our God is simply-significantly enough for us and He is always present in power for us! Belief must become more than a definition of our Christianity; it must become what defines us in the all of our everything.
  
• I am realizing as a military family member, we must continually reposition ourselves to be found in Jesus, He is always a consistent-constant in a world that changes every day and in Him we have a great future and a hope that is unchangeable because He lives! AWE-GOD! Believe In Him! Just Be Found In Belief

Arbonne ABC Baby Skin Care

Arbonne or Topical Steroids for Baby Eczema77

By stevemark122000

http://hubpages.com/hub/Arbonne-or-Topical-Steroids-for-Baby-Eczema

 

The baby care market in North America has become a multi-billion dollar industry. The reason for this is because consumers are becoming aware that there are better choices available today to nourish and protect their babies skin from the environment. These products are safe, pure and specifically designed to meet the needs of young skin.

 

There are a few challenges that come with keeping a baby's skin healthy. They have very thin skin which makes it difficult to retain moisture. It takes several years for the skin to develop a thicker, protective layer to the harmful toxins in the environment. It's very common for babies to form inadequate amounts of sebum and sweat. This is vital to the formation of the the skin's acid mantle, which is the skin's defense against the environment.

 

Soap is destroys the skin's acid mantle and should not be used on babies. This invites various skin conditions for babies, particularly eczema. Only products that are pH correct should be used.

 

Doctors prescribe topical steroids containing hydrocortisone to treat more serious cases of eczema. Hydrocortisone is a steroid used to reduce inflammation. It can be found in many over the counter skin creams. The problem with using hydrocortisone on babies is that it further weakens their undeveloped protective mantle making them prone various viruses and has been known to cause blood poisoning.

 

When these steroids are applied to sensitive areas such as armpits, groin and eyelids, the skin is even thinner and more vulnerable. These areas are susceptible to irritation, hypo-pigmentation, stretch marks and development of rough looking skin. Prolonged use of these medications cause the body to build up a resistance, which leads to using stronger doses with more harmful side effects. Side effects include a weakened immune system, thinning of the skin, liver and kidney damage and burn marks on the skin.

 

Arbonne has chosen the natural approach to baby skin treatment. They have developed a pure, safe and beneficial baby line known as ABC (Arbonne Baby Care). All safety studies are conducted under the supervision of a pediatrician and a dermatologist.

 

Although these products are designed for prevention, they have also been found effective in treating eczema more effectively than topical steroids. The ABC line has been formulated to be pH correct in order to protect the acid mantle from being stripped away.

 

Arbonne uses botanical ingredients, which have proven to be most effective against environmental elements. These ingredients come from desert plants because they have shown the strongest protection against the environment.

 

Arbonne repeatedly tests their products for sensitivity and irritation. The ABC line has been formulated to be non-sensitizing and non-irritating. Arbonne never use animal products, by-products or tests on animals. The products or formulated without chemicals, dyes or synthetic fragrances.

 

There are five products in the Arbonne Baby Care line. Hair & Body Wash, Arbonne Baby Care Body Lotion, Arbonne Baby Care Body Oil, Herbal Diaper Rash Cream, and Sunscreen SPF 30+. These are the products needed daily to protect young skin.

 

There are three key botanicals found in the ABC line.

 

Shea Butter - This is very effective moisturizer, which also leaves the baby's skin feeling soft and smooth. It contains vitamin A and E which makes it very nourishing to the skin.

 

Oat extract - This extract is highly absorbent and effective at soothing and softening, dry, itchy, sensitive skin.

 

Aloe - effective at delivering moisture to the skin and preventing moisture loss.

 

The ABC line also contains added vitamin A and E known as retinol palmitate and tocopherol acetate. These nutrients are very effective at keeping skin soft and smooth. As antioxidants they provide powerful protection against free radical formation as well as environmental elements that can be irritating to skin.

 

Topical steroids attempt to treat the symptoms of eczema and only provide temporary results with various side effects. Arbonne uses the natural approach with the ABC line. ABC effectively nourishes and protects a baby's skin using pure, safe and beneficial ingredients which are non-sensitizing, non-irritating and have no side effects. The ABC line is the safe and natural choice for treatment and prevention for eczema.

Military Families Perusing Psalm 11

Military Families Perusing
Psalm Eleven

Join The Conversation: It Begins At…

http://thebridegroomscafe.com/military.htm

Perusing For: Purpose-Truth

As a person in a military family/friend what truth, what purpose of God do I see in this Psalm for me and my military warrior?

• I like verse 4 and 5! They define purpose the best!
  The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord is on his throne in heaven. He watches all people. His eyes study them. 5 The Lord watches over those who do what is right. But he hates sinful people and those who love to hurt others.
• What can we do? When we are battle weary, justice seems like it will never happen. Yet God, our Advocate continually has His eye out for justice for all of us!
• God is our Way-Maker! Jesus is the common denominator of our liberty! The Holy Spirit knows when we are battle-weary that injustices can truly knock us off course and He knows exactly when injustices occur and has made a way for us already He works in the unseen to right our lives at all times. We have the Triune God Who goes before us and also protects us from behind! AWE-GOD!
• As a military warrior and a military family member I must do what it takes to trust God completely! Why? God is always watching over us, our warrior and our families. The Word of God will guide us, to do what is right and we will discover God's Kingdom purpose in our battle weariness – we will see with clarity His justice and it will infuse our weariness with the Light of His Hope!

Perusing For-Promise

What is God promising my military family/friend in this Psalm? What promise can I hold on to this week as my promise for them?

• Verse 7! is definitely the promise that will get in my heart to batte my weariness.
  The Lord always does what is right. So he loves it when people do what is fair. Those who are honest will enjoy his blessing.
• As I walk in integrity and honor He will bless me with His justice and Favor.
• When I am battle weary, my courage needs a blessing boost from God! This scripture gives me hope and strengthens my resolve to always do what is right and expect a blessing of favor and strength from My God – My Commander and Chief!
• Even when I am feeling truly battle weary, if I choose God 1st, He will bless me and I will grow through it. AWE-GOD!

Perusing For-Praise

What does God show me in this psalm about praising Him?

• Verse three and four really stood out to me!
  3 When law and order are being destroyed, what can godly people do?" 4 The Lord is in his holy temple.
• Praise is a great weapon for the battle weary! We must remember to praise God! Praise Him That He Is Present, Omnipresent God!
• When we can't do anything we praise Him, when we can do something we praise Him. Praise Him! We always praise Him because praise is a shield of faith to keep our souls from getting hit from the enemy and to keep us from being wounded with battle weariness! Praise Him when we lose, praise Him when we win. Always Praise God!
• In war there is no law, and no order to our days and this can truly make us battle weary. God restores our souls through praise! Praise Him when you feel battle weary and He will lift your soul above and beyond what you even thought He could.
• We praise You, Almighty God! You are in your Holy Temple. This is our Holy Ground! We Praise You On Holy Ground And Every Burden Becomes Light, And Our Battle Weariness Is Lifted! AWE-GOD! Praise!

Perusing For-Prayer

What verse can I use as a prayer for my military family/friend this week?

• I really liked verse 6 - it gave me wisdom and hope.
  6 He will pour out flaming coals and burning sulfur on those who do what is wrong. A hot and dry wind will destroy them.
• Let God Be Enough! He Is! I like this prayer because it shows that God is able to take care of my enemies. I pray it for my warrior today and it helps me to let go and let God fight the battles.
• Battle Weariness can cause an irrational emotional reaction! Don't be impulsive. When things get wronged, don't try to make it right by anger instead of waiting on God's wisdom. Don't take justice in your own hands.
• Ask God For Help! Vengeance is Mine says the Lord. God is a God of Justice and He does undergird our military families with the eternal strength of His Kingdom purpose. True Justice in our every situation does matter to our God!
• God's Kingdom is founded upon principles of righteousness, peace and joy for all. God is the common denominator of all things fair! So pray to God when you have been wronged, when life treats you unfairly, pray to the God of Justice, the God Who makes all things right!
• The wisdom I gained was this: For the battle weary, God is the best Way–Maker there is! Talk To God Today! Ask Him To Destroy Your Enemies! He Can – He Will!

Perusing To-BE His! Just Do it

As a part or head of a military family, which verse helps me to be better, to act better, to trust God the best this week?

• These verses 1-2 give me the best wisdom for overcoming my battle weariness.
  I run to the Lord for safety. So how can you say to me, "Fly away like a bird to your mountain. 2 Look! Evil people are bending their bows. They are placing their arrows against the strings. They are planning to shoot from the shadows at those who have honest hearts.
• Are you battle weary? Run to God! The truth is – God Wins! God is our true Commander and Chief and His Justice wins out in the end.
• Always be repositioning yourself in God's Grace! Be found in Him, endure and grow through the unfairness of life, because in the end God's right prevails. Evil shoots out its lies and hopes you exchange them for your truth. So keep fighting the good fight of faith, hoping in God's Justice because eventually His good does prevail and He rights every wrong in that special way only He can.
• This Psalm 11 really supports the battle weary! Are you battle weary? If I am battle weary then I know I have exchanged the truth for a lie! The truth is God is simply my enough! Let God Be Enough! The Truth is – God has won – His Justice will win out in the end. Be found in Him, endure and grow through the unfairness of life, because in the end God's right prevails.
• God has His eye out for justice for all of us! He is the common denominator of our Liberty! Cling To The God Of Justice–Endure-Grow Through The Injustices Of Life–––Eventually All Is Balanced By His Kingdom Purpose!
• I realize to fight this battle weariness I must dig my roots deeper in His Infinite Love and stand firm in it, because eventually in Christ Jesus – ALL IS GOOD!

 

MY GOD IS ENOUGH!
Dig Deeper! Dig Deeper!
Simply-Significantly: Let God Be Enough!

If My People Pray

Presidency=Servant Leadership

I just heard the President speak and it saddened me how he started his speech ripping at a party of the country he is supposed to represent as a whole! President Obama still thinks of himself as working across the isle, instead of being the one who was elected to bring the isles together as one to create liberty and justice for all. This makes me so sad for the honor and respect of the Presidency!

He is supposed to be the President of all of us, yet by his speech today, I hear him being the President of only one part- and that will cause the whole to fall. (pride goes before a fall) As he arrogantly bashes the republicans from the Office of The Presidency, it causes division in this country that won't be healed until He can truly be the President of us all and not just the President of one party. The President should show civility and honor for the office he holds and not use the Presidency to bitch at his opposing party.

 

I am just one lowly voice crying out in from the whole of this country and President Obama I just want to say this: Be The President Of All Of Us- Not Just One Part!

 

We are The UNITED States of America and Mr. President, the election is over. Please just be The President and embrace us all- work for us all for liberty and justice for all!

 

Galatians 5: 13 For you, brethren, were [indeed] called to freedom; only [do not let your] freedom be an incentive to your flesh and an opportunity or excuse [for [d]selfishness], but through love you should serve one another. 14For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is [e]complied with in the one precept, You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself.(A) 15 But if you bite and devour one another [in partisan strife], be careful that you [and your whole fellowship] are not consumed by one another. 16 But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God).

Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

 

This is one of the strongest reasons why I did not vote for you President Obama, because I felt you had not served long enough in the "Washington machine" to learn and grow in servant leadership. You are falling prey to the inability to be a servant leader because you did not give yourself enough time to develop it, you tried to bud too early.

 

But now you are The President of the UNITED States, not just one party, but the whole country, I pray you learn to be so. I pray your heart changes, you drop your pride, you learn to be patient and lay aside your impulsive nature to ramrod things through with arrogant bitter speaking.

It won't help if you further divide this country by trying to "Father It"! This country already has a Father God, and you are one of the children, not the father scolding the country. Your pride will be the downfall of this country. Lay it down and learn to serve this country as a whole with your words and your actions. If there is partisan division and you are the appointed head between the two, you must be the one who balances the scales and I have to say Mr President, your speech today, did not do so. Be The President- You Won The Election- Now Be The President! Stop Wasting Time Campaigning And BE The President!

 

A very concerned citizen…

 

 

 

 

Judging? Not My Thing!

Recently the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart after a Christian really judged another Christian leader through a tweet, saying that he was a false prophet. I don't know him very well, but my first thought was: "Wow that is a hard judgment to place on anyone!" Then they asked me to watch one clip of this man from a Youtube video and make the same judgment. I watched it, but did not see from my perspective anything that would warrant calling him a false prophet! I have to agree to disagree with them. I can't judge by what I see in this video! Sorry. I just can't do that! I can't judge at all! Can I know the heart of a man from a video clip? I do not walk in that man's life circle. I do not know this man personally. I have heard about his ministry, watched it a couple of times on TV and was blessed by his preaching. I am not a part of his ministry. (the video clip from my point of reference, did not even substantiate this claim that he is leading people away from God as a false prophet)

God says we will know people by their fruit. This man in my perspective has visible kingdom fruit in his ministry. Yet, how can I judge someone or their fruit from a distance, when I only see in part? How can I judge someone who I don't walk in a personal relationship with; a person I only know from a distance? That is why judging people belongs solely to Jesus and rightly so, because He sees the inner heart, the motivation and the internal character, all of which we cannot know and this is His approved kingdom authority.

I am not equipped to judge someone in such a harsh judgement as saying they are a false prophet. If this Christian Leader is a false prophet, then Jesus is his judge and Jesus can handle it because there is no greater, mightier or just judge. Jesus is Omnipotent and I am not! I am not Jesus, nor am I equipped to make a judgement on a man's life-reputation-or ministry. If someone is a false prophet, God does not need me to tweet it, He can handle it. Because 9 times out of 10, my judgement of others will be imperfect and wrong because I can only see in part.

I believe for me to step into a position where I take on the role of Jesus is something, that I as human being, am not outfitted to do. Judging other Christians hurts the Kingdom, hurts you, hurts them, hurts us and doesn't achieve lasting Kingdom purpose. I have seen some people take judging others to an extreme, because of their own life perspective, which is tainted in hurt, bitterness and betrayal. Sometimes, people's perspectives are formed through the adulterated eyes of their own personal life experiences and they shout judgment out of their inner pain, dashed hopes and dead dreams. If someone does things differently than we would do it, then we judge them by the opinion of our personal comfort level. Maybe we would see differently if we walked in their shoes? Who knows, God has called people to all kinds, shapes and forms of Kingdom Trades and we really won't understand them unless we have to try on their shoes and walk in them! Our judgements of others can never be perfect, we all walk in the same human condition as one another and I know this is why the Father God wisely made Jesus our only Judge. If we are obeying God and respecting His right to appoint Jesus as the only judge, then we are not to judge people, or place judgement on them! Why? Because Jesus asked us not to because He knew we only know in part, we cannot see the true heart of a person, we cannot know their true inner motivations. Judgment is to me having a haughty spirit, that steps into a position human beings are not designed for and not able to fully carry out.

Our judgement is incomplete, because we are not equipped to see in whole and not destined with Kingdom authority to judge. Judging others is disobedience to God, because He asked us to take our disappointments in one another to the person involved and work them out, speaking the truth in love to that person face to face. If you don't like a TV interview that a Christian did, go to God and pray and ask Him for a Godly appeal and then talk to them and express your concern and if they don't listen take it to the next higher authority. Deal with your disapproval in Godly ways, ask God what to do with your displeasure, but don't judge their whole life, especially if you truly do not "know" them.

God has asked us to love with a love that bears each other's humanity, through truth spoken in love, face to face. Would you be willing to go to the person you think is a "false prophet" and talk to them face to face, confronting them with the love of God, taking God's charity to the greatest height? This is the narrow path God asks us to walk on, the broad path is writing out a twitter tweet accusing a person of being a false prophet. This is an arrogance that will take a fall when that judgment rolls flipside as the backlash of sowing an opinion and reaping the same on your life, hits you square in the face of your kingdom trade. God simply said: If you judge, you will be judged.

Christians are far from perfect, they are human beings with a creature condition, flesh that likes to raise its ugly head and that is why we can't step into the role of God's Son and judge someone who may have had a bad hair day at a television interview and because of that, we take it upon ourselves to protect others, we take on God's role, place a huge judgment on their reputation by stating they are a false prophet. How can you know this to be true? To examine a piece of fruit, it has to be up close and personal, out of a relationship with the palm of your hand! And even then, you can hold fruit and it can look flawed, you don't know if it is good until you bite into it and taste the goodness of God contained at the center. Have you tasted the fruit of this man's heart? Do you know his heart? God does.

 

Psalm 105:14-16 He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings: 15 "Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm." 16 He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;

 

So I ask you how can you expect me to agree with you saying a man's ministry is that of a false prophet. I won't even venture there because I know I am flawed too. I have screwed up, I haven't done or said everything perfectly correct. The divine anointing has to go through less than divine human beings. We don't do it perfectly, but God is prepared for that! I know I can't rightfully judge another person and if I pointed my finger at him, three of my own fingers are pointed back at me. Be very careful, because God is not happy when we judge others, especially when we speak against those He has anointed. If you don't know, the best thing to do is pray, because God is able to take care of His Bride, He doesn't need us to help him judge or protect-- He asked us to believe in Him and to love in spirit and truth.

AWE-FATHER GOD… How I long for heaven, where we will perfectly love You and perfectly love each other! Until then, help us Father God to walk in the light of the truth You have given us, this way of Your Love:

1 Corinthians 13

Suppose I speak in the languages of human beings and of angels. If I don't have love, I am only a loud gong or a noisy cymbal. 2 Suppose I have the gift of prophecy. Suppose I can understand all the secret things of God and know everything about him. And suppose I have enough faith to move mountains. If I don't have love, I am nothing at all. 3 Suppose I give everything I have to poor people. And suppose I give my body to be burned. If I don't have love, I get nothing at all. 4 Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud. 5 It is not rude. It does not look out for its own interests. It does not easily become angry. It does not keep track of other people's wrongs. 6 Love is not happy with evil. But it is full of joy when the truth is spoken. 7 It always protects. It always trusts. It always hopes. It never gives up. 8 Love never fails. But prophecy will pass away. Speaking in languages that had not been known before will end. And knowledge will pass away. 9 What we know now is not complete. What we prophesy now is not perfect. 10 But when what is perfect comes, the things that are not perfect will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child. I thought like a child. I had the understanding of a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12 Now we see only a dim likeness of things. It is as if we were seeing them in a mirror. But someday we will see clearly. We will see face to face. What I know now is not complete. But someday I will know completely, just as God knows me completely. 13 The three most important things to have are faith, hope and love. But the greatest of them is love.

Matthew 7:12-17

So then, whatever you desire that others would do to and for you, even so do also to and for them, for this is (sums up) the Law and the Prophets. 13 Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. 14 But the gate is narrow (contracted [a]by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.(A) 15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.(B) 16 You will [b]fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

17 Even so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit [[c]worthy of admiration], but the sickly (decaying, worthless) tree bears bad (worthless) fruit.

Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

 

God does say: Beware… and the way to beware is to stay aware of God, stay close to God, in a personal relationship with Him. Be responsible for yourself, for the steps your feet take and make sure they are set in the footprints God has left for you. God has made a way for us, He has not asked us to Judge others, He has asked us to beware!

A clear head and a deep understanding, are of no value without a benevolent and charitable heart. MHC

Matthew 10 12-15

"When you knock on a door, be courteous in your greeting. If they welcome you, be gentle in your conversation. If they don't welcome you, quietly withdraw. Don't make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way. You can be sure that on Judgment Day they'll be mighty sorry—but it's no concern of yours now. 16"Stay alert. This is hazardous work I'm assigning you. You're going to be like sheep running through a wolf pack, so don't call attention to yourselves. Be as cunning as a snake, inoffensive as a dove. 17-20"Don't be naive. Some people will impugn your motives, others will smear your reputation—just because you believe in me. Don't be upset when they haul you before the civil authorities. Without knowing it, they've done you—and me—a favor, given you a platform for preaching the kingdom news! And don't worry about what you'll say or how you'll say it. The right words will be there; the Spirit of your Father will supply the words.

The Message (MSG) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson

In times such as these: Beware… stay alert! This has no connotation to judging others. God assigns us a kingdom trade and we need to stay focused on the Master of this trade. God administrates His Kingdom and we serve it. Judging is an administrative act, loving God, loving others are two of the greatest commands God has given us. Judging others is putting ourselves in an managerial position, when we are called to serve. There will be false prophets and God has shown us how to handle it, He has asked us to draw close to Him, to walk with His mind and to guard our heart with His truth, so it flows out of the issues of our kingdom trade. Judging others is offensive and it calls attention to our opinion, which in all fairness is a perspective that we are not able to fully substantiate with whole truth, because we are not equipped to see a person's heart.

When it comes to false prophets, Jesus said for us to be cunning and inoffensive, yet not naïve! How do we flesh this out? We keep our focus on Jesus, the author and finisher of our kingdom trade, believing and experiencing as we step out in faith that He is simply enough. We don't worry about the administrative details of His Kingdom, we allow Him the right to be the judge of such things and we give our lives completely to the assignment He has set before us, ministering in His Spirit-Truth-Love! It is not our place to judge false prophets, or call attention to ourselves by pointing fingers of judgment at them, it is our place to serve Jesus Christ, by running our Kingdom race among those false prophets of this world, using our time to make an eternal difference by feeding the poor, taking care of the orphans and widows and being about our God-given Kingdom trades. Our judgments of people can't be true justice because we are not equipped to see in whole. Leave the judging to Jesus and treat one another justly and walk the way of God's Love!

James 1:26-27

If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. 27Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

New International Version (NIV)Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by Biblica

Zechariah 7:6-10

God-of-the-Angel-Armies gave me this Message for them, for all the people and for the priests: "When you held days of fasting every fifth and seventh month all these seventy years, were you doing it for me? And when you held feasts, was that for me? Hardly. You're interested in religion, I'm interested in people. 7-10"There's nothing new to say on the subject. Don't you still have the message of the earlier prophets from the time when Jerusalem was still a thriving, bustling city and the outlying countryside, the Negev and Shephelah, was populated? [This is the message that God gave Zechariah.] Well, the message hasn't changed. God-of-the-Angel-Armies said then and says now: "'Treat one another justly. Love your neighbors. Be compassionate with each other. Don't take advantage of widows, orphans, visitors, and the poor. Don't plot and scheme against one another—that's evil.'

The Message (MSG) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson

1 Corinthians 13 The Way of Love- Help Us Holy Spirit Walk In It:

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. 2If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. 3-7If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.

Love cares more for others than for self.

Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.

Love doesn't strut,

Doesn't have a swelled head,

Doesn't force itself on others,

Isn't always "me first,"

Doesn't fly off the handle,

Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,

Doesn't revel when others grovel,

Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,

Puts up with anything,

Trusts God always,

Always looks for the best,

Never looks back,

But keeps going to the end.

8-10Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled. 11When I was an infant at my mother's breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good. 12We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! 13But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.

Kingdom Purpose In Haiti Disaster

God’s Wisdom For His Bride In Light Of These (Haiti Earthquake) Difficult Times….


“[The Children of Abraham] To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”- John 8:31-32

The Holy Spirit Exhorts:
Bride of Christ… stop all this human devouring and back biting… there is not time for it. AT this season of time, The kingdom of God-our Almighty God’s Sovereign Will is in play on the face of this earth-- it doesn’t look pretty right now, but the purpose of Father God in all this devastation will arise in beautiful Kingdom glory – a heavenly hindsight that is not rooted in this world.

I say in response to The Holy Spirit:
WE were not created for this world, yet we get so deeply rooted here because of our human nature to do so. In times of horrific tragedy, we must not give way to our human nature! God has made a Kingdom advance for Haiti. Do you think anything can happen outside of God’s Yes? God allowed this natural disaster, He did not cause it or intend it or desire it, but He said Yes and if He has purposefully ordained, put this specific piece of His Sovereignty into play, then we have to know that there is a greater Kingdom purpose happening in the unseen. God does not ordain the suffering of anyone without a huge Kingdom purpose with an eternal gain. His Sovereign Will and His Infinite love go hand in hand and His Infinite love paves the way to a greater Kingdom purpose, a destiny not rooted in this world.

The Word Of God Speaks:
Acts 16:25-27 (New International Version)
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose.

The Holy Spirit Exhorts:
You are in this world, you are not of it. Yet the enemy of your souls vies for you to stay focused on an earthly perspective. Your enemy called for this tragedy, he devised it and delivered its violent blow to Haiti, but not outside of God’s Sovereign permission, God had to say yes and God ordained the severity of the just how far the enemy could go and God is in charge of the outcome. Father God Has Complete Sovereign Control –Focused In Kingdom Purpose! ie… an earthquake… ie… chains came loose!

I say:
Do I fully understand why God is going to these extremes? No… but I am not leaning on my understanding, I am leaning on God’s track record, His truth and all that I know He is. He is Kingdom purposeful, not earthly minded. He is eternity focused and is willing to endure human pain for eternal gain. I don’t understand that, but I do understand my salvation and it was purchased through such purposed earthly suffering. Therefore, I believe the enemy now knows God’s true heart towards Haiti and it is not about this earthly suffering it is about eternity. God said yes, He counted the cost and the greater cost was the Kingdom purpose of turning the heart of a nation to Him, eternalizing the soul of this nation was His priority and He knew this Sovereign choice would be laid with human suffering, but He also knew His Infinite Love would be enough to lead this nation from suffering to Kingdom triumph. I don’t question Him! Neither do I don’t try to label what He is doing here with earthly titles in hope of human sense! I am fully facing this situation, fully facing my God. The enemy wants to divert our focus to the why of the devastation, God wants us to pick up His Infinite Love and apply it together as His Bride for Kingdom purpose for the devastation.

The Word Of God Speaks:
Job 15:-4
THEN ELIPHAZ the Temanite answered [Job], 2Should a wise man utter such windy knowledge [as we have just heard] and fill himself with the east wind [of withering, parching, and violent accusations]? 3Should he reason with unprofitable talk? Or with speeches with which he can do no good? 4Indeed, you are doing away with [reverential] fear, and you are hindering and diminishing meditation and devotion before God. 5For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
Amplified Bible

The Holy Spirit Exhorts Us:
Why has the national media picked up on a few words spoken by Pat Roberson, why do they want to publically crucify this mans reputation? Why-- because it diverts our attention from the supernatural sovereign Kingdom plan of our God, who has allowed this tragedy with great purpose. It is easier to refocus our pain, through anger towards a human being than face the reality that our loving God Sovereignly ordained the devastation that we see in full reality -- compliments of our media. Pat Robertson is not the issue. Almighty God and His Kingdom purpose is the main issue! Focus!

The Word Of God Speaks Wisdom:
Matthew 7:12-14
12 "In everything, do to others what you would want them to do to you. This is what is written in the Law and in the Prophets. The Large and Small Gates 13 "Enter God's kingdom through the narrow gate. The gate is large and the road is wide that lead to death and hell. Many people go that way. 14 But the gate is small and the road is narrow that lead to life. Only a few people find it.
New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by Biblica

The Holy Spirit Instructs Us:
The narrow path follows after a God who said Yes to this horrific scene and trusts past what they see, believing in an unseen Kingdom purpose set in play, not for a win on this earthy but for a heavenly gain. The broad path says, focus on Pat Robertson, destroy the man that represents God, blow out of proportion a situation by a deeper anger you feel because you don’t understand an irreconcilable paradox that a loving God could Sovereingly say yes to such devastation.

The Word Of God Speaks:
Jeremiah 4: 19-22 A Prayer for Healing (Of Haiti)
Lord, have you completely rejected Judah? Do you really hate Jerusalem?[a] Why have you wounded us past all hope of healing? We hoped for peace, but no peace came. We hoped for a time of healing, but found only terror. 20 Lord, we confess our wickedness and that of our ancestors, too. We all have sinned against you. 21 For the sake of your reputation, Lord, do not abandon us. Do not disgrace your own glorious throne. Please remember us, and do not break your covenant with us. 22 Can any of the worthless foreign gods send us rain? Does it fall from the sky by itself? No, you are the one, O Lord our God! Only you can do such things. So we will wait for you to help us.
New Living Translation (NLT)

I exhort you in under the sound of God’s Voice:
Pray For Haiti- Invest Your Time Here- Not Chasing False Enemies! Pat Robertson is not the enemy here, the enemy of our soul, his design is always destruction- killing-stealing-destroying our lives in whatever way he can. Pat Robertson is one of us, a citizen of a greater purpose. Did we see God’s Wrath? Did we see God’s Judgement? I don’t know? Do you? All we can do is go by what we know. Jesus was sent to take the full wrath of God, the Judgement of God upon Himself so that we might live. So I don’t need to answer that question here on this earth. But it is one I will lovingly ask God in heaven, but by then I probably won’t need to ask, because I will have heavenly hindsight. Directing our anger towards a man, like Pat Roberson is the easy way out of not dealing with the real issue. Pat Roberson has done a lot of good for the Kingdom of God and should not be crucified in the national media! Do you notice that it is the way of the world to BE Lame- when Jesus already died for us to Be Whole! In this situation, I choose not to go after Pat Roberson; in fact, I don’t put people up on pedstals-because human beings have natural character flaw that tend to tip the scales and unbalance they have the tendency to fall off of pedestals- they don’t have the supernatural stability of the Trinity to stay high and lifted up. I follow after the Triune God, I fully face my God this day without any presuppositions of people, places or things. I place all my hopes and expectations in His Hands. Psalm 62.

The Word Of God Speaks
Psalm 93:3-5 (New Living Translation)
The floods have risen up, O Lord. The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves. 4 But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore— the Lord above is mightier than these! 5 Your royal laws cannot be changed. Your reign, O Lord, is holy forever and ever.

I Say:
I will not follow in a mediatic frenzy down this bunny trail about Pat Roberson, I will fully face my God and I will be a part of His Sovereign Will in play, I will give myself to Him completely to be a tool in His Hands as He works out His Kingdom Purpose of destruction to life.

The Holy Spirit Says:
How deeply rooted are you to this world? What perspective do you see out of worldly or kingdom? Because our God Who sent His Son to die, His only Son to die a horrific unkingly- untimely death for us has made a Sovereign decision to win a whole nation unto Himself. That makes what Pat Roberson said or meant to say for God or implied or the whole media frenzy about him, not my business! Can I really see a man’s heart and his motives through words? I think not! Better left to God, it is His business and I need to mind my own calling because that is the one I will answer for.

The Living Word Says:
Matthew 11:12
Since the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom of heaven has been advancing with force. And forceful people are taking hold of it.
New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by Biblica

The Living Word Says: Matthew 11 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible
Christ's testimony to John the Baptist.
What Christ said concerning John, was not only for his praise, but for the people's profit. Those who attend on the word will be called to give an account of their improvements. Do we think when the sermon is done, the care is over? No, then the greatest of the care begins. John was a self-denying man, dead to all the pomps of the world and the pleasures of sense. It becomes people, in all their appearances, to be consistent with their character and their situation. John was a great and good man, yet not perfect; therefore he came short of glorified saints. The least in heaven knows more, loves more, and does more in praising God, and receives more from him, than the greatest in this world. But by the kingdom of heaven here, is rather to be understood the kingdom of grace, the gospel dispensation in its power and purity. What reason we have to be thankful that our lot is cast in the days of the kingdom of heaven, under such advantages of light and love! Multitudes were wrought upon by the ministry of John, and became his disciples. And those strove for a place in this kingdom, that one would think had no right nor title to it, and so seemed to be intruders. It shows us what fervency and zeal are required of all. Self must be denied; the bent, the frame and temper of the mind must be altered. Those who will have an interest in the great salvation, will have it upon any terms, and not think them hard, nor quit their hold without a blessing. The things of God are of great and common concern. God requires no more from us than the right use of the faculties he has given us. People are ignorant, because they will not learn. (Mt 11:16-24)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible is available in the Public Domain.

Jesus says:
My life is meant to be about the greater kingdom purpose in play here and that is for the souls of mankind to be won for God’s Kingdom. Bride of Christ fully face this devastation, it is not by My Hand, but has been Ordained, saturated in My Kingdom purpose. I ask you now to say no to the bunny trails and yes to Me.

I say:
For this human being, it hurts so badly that my physical body wants to throw up every time I look upon the human suffering and devastation in Haiti, and I know God said yes, to this, yet I know His Spirit is weeping, kneeling in the midst of the debris and hearing- listening and responding to every cry… “Father--- Why Have You Forsaken Me?

Jesus is answering every cry out of this rubble saying:
My Sons And Daughters- I am with you- I allowed this suffering. See MY heart and you will see the path towards the Kingdom is wet with MY tears, as I have gone before you Haiti, suffered before you Haiti to pave this way for your salvation. I am in control of your destiny- Haiti.

Father God Says:
Bride Of Christ: What happened in Haiti. I ordained it – this temporary path of appalling human suffering will lead to an everlasting glory! Mourning will be turned to dancing. This unspeakable night season of grief and sorrow will be met by My Morning Glory. The SON WILL GLOW! I see the whole picture, you only see in part. So focus on Me- until My Kingdom comes in Glory and My heavenly hindsight brings forth Kingdom revelation that will satisfy you need to know. I designed you with a need to know, but never wanted it to trump belief in Me. Flip Flop Your Need To Know Into Hope In Me. Believe In Me! Believe In My Goodness! Believe In The Future I Have Prepared For You!
              My Sovereign Will has trumped the evil designs of satan intended for Haiti, with a Kingdom Card- a card labeled Salvation- it stays on top of the life-deck dealt you- take it up and play it and You will know the Kingdom Victory that surpasses every and all evil intention - a victory that rolls past the surface devastation of this earth to the heavenly hindsight’s of MY Kingdom purpose for you, Haiti. My Kingly Heart, Full of the Fatherhood desires of My Kingdom cries out for Your Salvation- it is MY true purpose and by whatever earthly means I have ordained- I Sovereignly stand in MY power and MY reality of truth, holding out to you Haiti, the mighty right hand of MY Infinite Love. I will restore what evil has intended, I will transform it to Kingdom purposes that will stand forever in the heart of your country, never to be taken away again.

From The Bridegroom To The Bride Of Christ:
Christians: follow after me. Listen For My Voice! I know you do not understand My designs- My ways. I don’t ask you to understand, I ask you to surrender to MY Kingdom purposes. Follow after ME, be a tool in MY hand. What should you be shouting out of your pain? Kingdom purpose- Not earthly squabble! Let every word of your mouth be shaped by MY Kingdom purpose. It is not your place to judge- label or apply human understanding. Lean On Me! It is your place to bow, honor, trust and believe your King and be available to Me, in whatever way I call you to! You will be asked to sacrificially take up my Infinite Love in prayer, worship, and deed and with great Kingdom Purpose.

The Triune God Says:
Bride of Christ! Why are you chasing bunny trails? I have taught You to be better than this, you know better! Pat Robertson is MY child, as you are Mine, He is Mine. When you speak against him, you slap your own face-reputation. You are one of the same! Yet… He is not your concern! Do not judge what might very well be My Voice crying out in the wilderness; because you are not that good to know what you think you know… you know nothing of my Kingdom purpose beyond what you think you see; that is why you must trust Me in your all and everything, that is why I ordained it this way. I am doing a new thing… will you not know it. Isaiah 43!
             Cling Harder to Me- Dig your roots deeper in My Kingdom for times such as these… you will not know what you think you know… as it was when Jesus came to earth… things are not as they seem, not comprehendible by a finite human mind. Trust Me! I have a plan and it is all eventually good!
             If you chase bunny trails, you cannot fully face ME! Bride of Christ, do not be distracted, there is Kingdom work afoot here and I am determined to finish My Purposes that were started. Stop pointing fingers at each other, biting and devouring each other… face ME and point up.
             Do you truly think you can fix this human tragedy? You can’t. I AM said yes to this- I AM ordained this suffering with a powerful Kingdom purpose set into play. It is about ME, not you or not any other human being… this is not about Pat Robertson or any other human, it is about ME- My Kingdom purposes in play!

Jesus Says:

Don’t you get it yet? This earth will pass away, but My Kingdom is forever! You were not designed to stay here- be deeply rooted in Me. Be eternally minded. Be Kingdom Focused! STAY ALERT TO WHAT TRULY MATTERS! Be all I have designed you to be Bride of Christ- be unified in Me! Just BE… found in Me! Being completely Mine; trusting me Wholly! I do have a good future and hope and it is not about earth, it is all about The Kingdom Of Heaven, My Kingdom and I AM your TRIUNE GOD – I AM working out MY salvation for all. FOCUS ON THIS SALVATION, IT DRAWS NIGH!

The Word Of God Says!
2 Samuel 22:2-4 (New International Version)
He said: "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; 3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn [a] of my salvation.

Be found as His, working out His Kingdom Purpose in every and all situation as He calls! Will you be the one to answer to His Kingdom call? Or will you chase bunny trails that don’t matter? Choose Life! Will You Be The One?

Kingdom Purpose For Haiti

God's Wisdom For His Bride In Light Of These (Haiti Earthquake) Difficult Times….

"[The Children of Abraham] To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."- John 8:31-32

The Holy Spirit Exhorts:

Bride of Christ… stop all this human devouring and back biting… there is not time for it. AT this season of time, The kingdom of God-our Almighty God's Sovereign Will is in play on the face of this earth-- it doesn't look pretty right now, but the purpose of Father God in all this devastation will arise in beautiful Kingdom glory – a heavenly hindsight that is not rooted in this world.

I say in response to The Holy Spirit:

WE were not created for this world, yet we get so deeply rooted here because of our human nature to do so. In times of horrific tragedy, we must not give way to our human nature! God has made a Kingdom advance for Haiti. Do you think anything can happen outside of God's Yes? God allowed this natural disaster, He did not cause it or intend it or desire it, but He said Yes and if He has purposefully ordained, put this specific piece of His Sovereignty into play, then we have to know that there is a greater Kingdom purpose happening in the unseen. God does not ordain the suffering of anyone without a huge Kingdom purpose with an eternal gain. His Sovereign Will and His Infinite love go hand in hand and His Infinite love paves the way to a greater Kingdom purpose, a destiny not rooted in this world.

The Word Of God Speaks:

Acts 16:25-27 (New International Version)

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose.

The Holy Spirit Exhorts:

You are in this world, you are not of it. Yet the enemy of your souls vies for you to stay focused on an earthly perspective. Your enemy called for this tragedy, he devised it and delivered its violent blow to Haiti, but not outside of God's Sovereign permission, God had to say yes and God ordained the severity of the just how far the enemy could go and God is in charge of the outcome. Father God Has Complete Sovereign Control –Focused In Kingdom Purpose! ie… an earthquake… ie… chains came loose!

I say:

Do I fully understand why God is going to these extremes? No… but I am not leaning on my understanding, I am leaning on God's track record, His truth and all that I know He is. He is Kingdom purposeful, not earthly minded. He is eternity focused and is willing to endure human pain for eternal gain. I don't understand that, but I do understand my salvation and it was purchased through such purposed earthly suffering. Therefore, I believe the enemy now knows God's true heart towards Haiti and it is not about this earthly suffering it is about eternity. God said yes, He counted the cost and the greater cost was the Kingdom purpose of turning the heart of a nation to Him, eternalizing the soul of this nation was His priority and He knew this Sovereign choice would be laid with human suffering, but He also knew His Infinite Love would be enough to lead this nation from suffering to Kingdom triumph. I don't question Him! Neither do I don't try to label what He is doing here with earthly titles in hope of human sense! I am fully facing this situation, fully facing my God. The enemy wants to divert our focus to the why of the devastation, God wants us to pick up His Infinite Love and apply it together as His Bride for Kingdom purpose for the devastation.

The Word Of God Speaks:

Job 15:-4

THEN ELIPHAZ the Temanite answered [Job], 2Should a wise man utter such windy knowledge [as we have just heard] and fill himself with the east wind [of withering, parching, and violent accusations]? 3Should he reason with unprofitable talk? Or with speeches with which he can do no good? 4Indeed, you are doing away with [reverential] fear, and you are hindering and diminishing meditation and devotion before God. 5For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.

Amplified Bible

The Holy Spirit Exhorts Us:

Why has the national media picked up on a few words spoken by Pat Roberson, why do they want to publically crucify this mans reputation? Why-- because it diverts our attention from the supernatural sovereign Kingdom plan of our God, who has allowed this tragedy with great purpose. It is easier to refocus our pain, through anger towards a human being than face the reality that our loving God Sovereignly ordained the devastation that we see in full reality -- compliments of our media. Pat Robertson is not the issue. Almighty God and His Kingdom purpose is the main issue! Focus!

The Word Of God Speaks Wisdom:

Matthew 7:12-14

12 "In everything, do to others what you would want them to do to you. This is what is written in the Law and in the Prophets. The Large and Small Gates 13 "Enter God's kingdom through the narrow gate. The gate is large and the road is wide that lead to death and hell. Many people go that way. 14 But the gate is small and the road is narrow that lead to life. Only a few people find it.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by Biblica

The Holy Spirit Instructs Us:

The narrow path follows after a God who said Yes to this horrific scene and trusts past what they see, believing in an unseen Kingdom purpose set in play, not for a win on this earthy but for a heavenly gain. The broad path says, focus on Pat Robertson, destroy the man that represents God, blow out of proportion a situation by a deeper anger you feel because you don't understand an irreconcilable paradox that a loving God could Sovereingly say yes to such devastation.

The Word Of God Speaks:

Jeremiah 4: 19-22

A Prayer for Healing Of Haiti

Lord, have you completely rejected Judah? Do you really hate Jerusalem?[a] Why have you wounded us past all hope of healing? We hoped for peace, but no peace came. We hoped for a time of healing, but found only terror. 20 Lord, we confess our wickedness and that of our ancestors, too. We all have sinned against you. 21 For the sake of your reputation, Lord, do not abandon us. Do not disgrace your own glorious throne. Please remember us, and do not break your covenant with us. 22 Can any of the worthless foreign gods send us rain? Does it fall from the sky by itself? No, you are the one, O Lord our God! Only you can do such things. So we will wait for you to help us.

New Living Translation (NLT)

I exhort you in under the sound of God's Voice:

Pray For Haiti- Invest Your Time Here- Not Chasing False Enemies! Pat Robertson is not the enemy here, the enemy of our soul, his design is always destruction- killing-stealing-destroying our lives in whatever way he can. Pat Robertson is one of us, a citizen of a greater purpose. Did we see God's Wrath? Did we see God's Judgement? I don't know? Do you? All we can do is go by what we know. Jesus was sent to take the full wrath of God, the Judgement of God upon Himself so that we might live. So I don't need to answer that question here on this earth. But it is one I will lovingly ask God in heaven, but by then I probably won't need to ask, because I will have heavenly hindsight. Directing our anger towards a man, like Pat Roberson is the easy way out of not dealing with the real issue. Pat Roberson has done a lot of good for the Kingdom of God and should not be crucified in the national media! Do you notice that it is the way of the world to BE Lame- when Jesus already died for us to Be Whole! In this situation, I choose not to go after Pat Roberson; in fact, I don't put people up on pedstals-because human beings have natural character flaw that tend to tip the scales and unbalance they have the tendency to fall off of pedestals- they don't have the supernatural stability of the Trinity to stay high and lifted up. I follow after the Triune God, I fully face my God this day without any presuppositions of people, places or things. I place all my hopes and expectations in His Hands. Psalm 62.

The Word Of God Speaks

Psalm 93:3-5 (New Living Translation)

The floods have risen up, O Lord. The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves. 4 But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore— the Lord above is mightier than these! 5 Your royal laws cannot be changed. Your reign, O Lord, is holy forever and ever.

I Say:

I will not follow in a mediatic frenzy down this bunny trail about Pat Roberson, I will fully face my God and I will be a part of His Sovereign Will in play, I will give myself to Him completely to be a tool in His Hands as He works out His Kingdom Purpose of destruction to life.

The Holy Spirit Says:

How deeply rooted are you to this world? What perspective do you see out of worldly or kingdom? Because our God Who sent His Son to die, His only Son to die a horrific unkingly- untimely death for us has made a Sovereign decision to win a whole nation unto Himself. That makes what Pat Roberson said or meant to say for God or implied or the whole media frenzy about him, not my business! Can I really see a man's heart and his motives through words? I think not! Better left to God, it is His business and I need to mind my own calling because that is the one I will answer for.

The Living Word Says:

Matthew 11:12

Since the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom of heaven has been advancing with force. And forceful people are taking hold of it.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by Biblica

The Living Word Says: Matthew 11 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Christ's testimony to John the Baptist.

What Christ said concerning John, was not only for his praise, but for the people's profit. Those who attend on the word will be called to give an account of their improvements. Do we think when the sermon is done, the care is over? No, then the greatest of the care begins. John was a self-denying man, dead to all the pomps of the world and the pleasures of sense. It becomes people, in all their appearances, to be consistent with their character and their situation. John was a great and good man, yet not perfect; therefore he came short of glorified saints. The least in heaven knows more, loves more, and does more in praising God, and receives more from him, than the greatest in this world. But by the kingdom of heaven here, is rather to be understood the kingdom of grace, the gospel dispensation in its power and purity. What reason we have to be thankful that our lot is cast in the days of the kingdom of heaven, under such advantages of light and love! Multitudes were wrought upon by the ministry of John, and became his disciples. And those strove for a place in this kingdom, that one would think had no right nor title to it, and so seemed to be intruders. It shows us what fervency and zeal are required of all. Self must be denied; the bent, the frame and temper of the mind must be altered. Those who will have an interest in the great salvation, will have it upon any terms, and not think them hard, nor quit their hold without a blessing. The things of God are of great and common concern. God requires no more from us than the right use of the faculties he has given us. People are ignorant, because they will not learn. (Mt 11:16-24)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible is available in the Public Domain.

Jesus says:

My life is meant to be about the greater kingdom purpose in play here and that is for the souls of mankind to be won for God's Kingdom. Bride of Christ fully face this devastation, it is not by My Hand, but has been Ordained, saturated in My Kingdom purpose. I ask you now to say no to the bunny trails and yes to Me.

I say:

For this human being, it hurts so badly that my physical body wants to throw up every time I look upon the human suffering and devastation in Haiti, and I know God said yes, to this, yet I know His Spirit is weeping, kneeling in the midst of the debris and hearing- listening and responding to every cry… "Father--- Why Have You Forsaken Me?

Jesus is answering every cry out of this rubble saying:

My Sons And Daughters- I am with you- I allowed this suffering. See MY heart and you will see the path towards the Kingdom is wet with MY tears, as I have gone before you Haiti, suffered before you Haiti to pave this way for your salvation. I am in control of your destiny- Haiti.

Father God Says:

Bride Of Christ: What happened in Haiti. I ordained it – this temporary path of appalling human suffering will lead to an everlasting glory! Mourning will be turned to dancing. This unspeakable night season of grief and sorrow will be met by My Morning Glory. The SON WILL GLOW! I see the whole picture, you only see in part. So focus on Me- until My Kingdom comes in Glory and My heavenly hindsight brings forth Kingdom revelation that will satisfy you need to know. I designed you with a need to know, but never wanted it to trump belief in Me. Flip Flop Your Need To Know Into Hope In Me. Believe In Me! Believe In My Goodness! Believe In The Future I Have Prepared For You!

My Sovereign Will has trumped the evil designs of satan intended for Haiti, with a Kingdom Card- a card labeled Salvation- it stays on top of the life-deck dealt you- take it up and play it and You will know the Kingdom Victory that surpasses every and all evil intention - a victory that rolls past the surface devastation of this earth to the heavenly hindsight's of MY Kingdom purpose for you, Haiti. My Kingly Heart, Full of the Fatherhood desires of My Kingdom cries out for Your Salvation- it is MY true purpose and by whatever earthly means I have ordained- I Sovereignly stand in MY power and MY reality of truth, holding out to you Haiti, the mighty right hand of MY Infinite Love. I will restore what evil has intended, I will transform it to Kingdom purposes that will stand forever in the heart of your country, never to be taken away again.

From The Bridegroom To The Bride Of Christ:

Christians: follow after me. Listen For My Voice! I know you do not understand My designs- My ways. I don't ask you to understand, I ask you to surrender to MY Kingdom purposes. Follow after ME, be a tool in MY hand. What should you be shouting out of your pain? Kingdom purpose- Not earthly squabble! Let every word of your mouth be shaped by MY Kingdom purpose. It is not your place to judge- label or apply human understanding. Lean On Me! It is your place to bow, honor, trust and believe your King and be available to Me, in whatever way I call you to! You will be asked to sacrificially take up my Infinite Love in prayer, worship, and deed and with great Kingdom Purpose.

The Triune God Says:

Bride of Christ! Why are you chasing bunny trails? I have taught You to be better than this, you know better! Pat Robertson is MY child, as you are Mine, He is Mine. When you speak against him, you slap your own face-reputation. You are one of the same! Yet… He is not your concern! Do not judge what might very well be My Voice crying out in the wilderness; because you are not that good to know what you think you know… you know nothing of my Kingdom purpose beyond what you think you see; that is why you must trust Me in your all and everything, that is why I ordained it this way. I am doing a new thing… will you not know it. Isaiah 43!

Cling Harder to Me- Dig your roots deeper in My Kingdom for times such as these… you will not know what you think you know… as it was when Jesus came to earth… things are not as they seem, not comprehendible by a finite human mind. Trust Me! I have a plan and it is all eventually good!

If you chase bunny trails, you cannot fully face ME! Bride of Christ, do not be distracted, there is Kingdom work afoot here and I am determined to finish My Purposes that were started. Stop pointing fingers at each other, biting and devouring each other… face ME and point up.

Do you truly think you can fix this human tragedy? You can't. I AM said yes to this- I AM ordained this suffering with a powerful Kingdom purpose set into play. It is about ME, not you or not any other human being… this is not about Pat Robertson or any other human, it is about ME- My Kingdom purposes in play!

Don't you get it yet? This earth will pass away, but My Kingdom is forever! You were not designed to stay here- be deeply rooted in Me. Be eternally minded. Be Kingdom Focused! STAY ALERT TO WHAT TRULY MATTERS! Be all I have designed you to be Bride of Christ- be unified in Me! Just BE… found in Me! Being completely Mine; trusting me Wholly! I do have a good future and hope and it is not about earth, it is all about The Kingdom Of Heaven, My Kingdom and I AM your TRIUNE GOD – I AM working out MY salvation for all. FOCUS ON THIS SALVATION, IT DRAWS NIGH!

The Word Of God Says!

2 Samuel 22:2-4 (New International Version)

He said: "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; 3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn [a] of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior— from violent men you save me. 4 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.

I exhort You

Your enemy is not flesh and blood, satan wants to kill steal and destroy our lives- BUT God, His Kingdom purpose is SALVATION FOR ALL. Focus on God! Be found as His, working out His Kingdom Purpose in every and all situation as He calls! Will you be the one to answer to His Kingdom call? Or will you chase bunny trails that don't matter?
