We've Got It All Backwards.....

Who are we? Where do we come from? What’s our pain, our happiness, our definition of joy? What do we see? How do we interpret and perceive? What do we really want? Define life. Is it sweet memories, or sorrowful abandonment? Is it terrifying? Is it lonely? Does is reek of success and emptiness? Is it longing to have more than this? What gives you peace? What does contentment mean? Do you fight to feel? Do you bleed to live? Do you sacrifice to need? We are all the same inside. We need, we hurt, we cry, we ache, we long, we die. Do you live according to your own thoughts and lies about who you believe you are? Who others think you are? Do you fight everyday for something that never fills your soul? Do you run from your past so fast that you are losing your future? Does your addiction add to your affliction? What am I? Who am I? Where am I? When does this ever end? Right now. Right here. Declare yourself free from your burdens, worries, your pain, the tyranny of memories that holds you hostage. Break away from defining yourself according to this empty & wicked world. We are children of the King. Mighty to believe that our identity is only in the one they call Yahweh. The revolution is no longer coming. It is here. Mighty to believe that our identity is only in the one they call Yahweh. We are the children of the King. Define yourself according to the Word of God. Declare yourself alive in your dreams, desires, happiness, and life. Right here. Right now. This ends. You are here. You are in Christ. You are lifted up. Your afflictions don’t have to become addictions. Run to your future so fast that you lose your past. Fight for yourself for your soul is already full. Who do you think others are? Live and believe who you are according to how your Savior loves you. We live, we find, we rest, we sing, we heal, we have. We are all the same inside. He sacrificed for us to have. He bled so we live. He fought so we feel. We are content in Him. He gives us peace. He gives us more than this. We have fulfillment in success in Him. We are no longer alone. We are no longer terrified. We have abandoned our sorrows. We have such sweet memories. Life is Christ. Freedom. Through Grace. Eternity. We are joyful, happy, and healed. We come from Love. We are…..ALIVE.

Wonder Volume XV

Its like standing on the edge of a building, arms outstretched, wind blowing through you as if it is reading the thoughts and secrets of your soul. An epiphany overcomes you with deafening comprehension. Right here, right now God is telling you that you are embarking on the next phase of the journey He has planned out for you. You stopped searching, you stopped worrying, you stopped controlling……you stopped. You turned it over to our Father above who is waiting patiently for you to fall to your knees….to let go. You gave it to Him and He has now opened your eyes to the next chapter of the book. Fresh, new, bright, comforting, & sure are the steps you are now taking….one foot right in front of the other. You over analyzed, you out-planned, you searched over what was right in front of you all along. Him. He is the One. The answer, your next step. The final, the absolute, the fixed, the pure, the unmovable, the almighty, the Alpha & Omega…..the Body of Christ. Blood is surging through your veins ushering remembrance that you are alive and have a duty. I am a soldier to the Almighty. I am on fire with passion. I am a Child of God. My calling is to bring people to Christ so that He may show them His unyielding Grace. Purity in all it’s form. He will share His Love and Sacrifice to provide a way to the Father through personal choice. We have the Freedom to choose. He gave us life, and it is ours to take care of. It is our Choice to have a voice and in turn, give others a voice of their own. All that is required of us is to testify of the mercy and compassion that we are given with the Ultimate sacrifice. The life of Jesus Christ. Close your eyes right now and listen. He is whispering your name. Come my Child…..come. Reach out to Him and embrace your new life. He wants to see you happy. He wants to see you flourish. He wants to be there when you are in your darkest hour. He wants to fill your heart with gladness and praise. He wants to be a part of your daily routine. He wants to encourage your passions and harbor your fears. He wants all of you. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, not a year from now. Today. He wants all of you today. Decide…..to give yourself the best part of what He has to give……Life. Eternal Life. Eternal Life. Eternal Life. Eternal Life. Eternal Life. Eternal Life. Eternal Life. Eternal Life. Eternal Life. Eternal Life ………..Eternal Love.

Romans 10:14-17

14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" 16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?" 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

That plainly gives us the blue prints of what we are supposed to do for those that have never experienced the Word or love of Jesus Christ. Religion in itself is shifting from being preached at from behind a podium to walking the streets finding those who are disheveled, beaten, and unknowingly lost. Jesus went out through the ends of the land seeking out lepers, prostitutes, tax collectors, thieves…anyone who was deemed inhuman by the societal mass. We are to show them the love and mercy of Jesus Christ through our actions, words and works. Tell them that they are to rip off the burdens of their past and choices made, and wrap up in the pure and unyielding Grace of God. Any part of who you are through Christ will shine brighter through the things you do than anything you could ever say. No one on this earth is perfect, or has a perfect life. Happiness is not a destiny, it is a choice. One made daily in the mundane details that are re-played with each new sun. I would hate to be called perfect or to strive for my life to be perfection, because if we were perfect we would not need the passionate and furious love of Jesus. I can’t imagine my life without His acceptance, love, understanding, grace and power. Why should I feel alone when Jesus said He is with me always and He will never leave me nor forsake me [Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5]. I am thankful that I have opportunities to need the help and counsel of my Lord. I see growth when the world leaves me broken. I see hope when my optimism is dull. I see love when I feel the need for hate. Those are not my own sinful qualities redeemed, but the blood of Christ that was shed on my soul the day that God gave His only Son to give me life. How profound is that? Would you give up your own healthy child to give someone else life? Think of the sacrifice that was made on our behalf. Has anyone ever made such a commitment to you in any area of your life? Soak up the unimaginable presence of the God Almighty and rise a warrior for Christ. We have to rally against the spiritual attacks. They can come in any form. Doubting God’s plan, temptations, physical/mental exhaustion, panic attacks (that just happens to be mine), giving into the nay-sayers to stand up for something right….anything that doesn’t bring glory to God. Why should I let the pressures of life bother me when I can take courage knowing that Jesus has overcome the world and its tribulations [John 16:33]. I will tell you briefly about my own spiritual attack. Every morning and afternoon on my way to and from work I crank up the radio, throw in my Christian Rock band of choice and begin my “quite” time with Jesus. My music takes me to a place that only God and I know about. I confess my sins, my needs, and my desires. I leave no stone unturned, no topic off limits. It’s just me and God. Recently I have been struggling with having severe panic attacks only while driving. The windows begin closing in the road elongates into a dark black hole and my breath becomes shallow and light. I have to focus so hard on not crashing or believing that at any moment gravity will cease to exist and I will fly off an overpass that I have lost my personal time with God. I KNOW that it is Satan parading in trying to take hold, showing me my mortal and worldly flaws. But you know what? After thinking long and hard [and sometimes hyperventilating...lol] I realize that God is in control of my life at all times no matter what. So if He thinks its necessary to have my car careen off the top of an overpass, so be it. Then what….I will finally get to see the sweet face of Jesus? I get to train with my guardian angel and the greatest Calvary known to man? Bring it. I love being on the good guy’s side, because no matter what…..He wins. Throw your fears in a bucket and light a match. Sacrifice it up to those of the world who bring you down, tell you that you can’t, and try pushing you down every time you make a stand for God. I leave you with one of the most profound quotes I have ever heard.

Mediocrity ALWAYS Attacks Excellence.

Wonder Volume XIII

Since the creation of time man has relentlessly tried to find the value of life and the essence of his purpose. Rummaging through the dark porticos of this world from monetary value to moral validity. Reaching for the seemingly unattainable we get lost in the currant of the voracious world, racing to get to the top. The CEO of a thriving oil company practically steals money from those who have never even heard of a stock option. All to find his authentic happiness, not even realizing that deep inside his soul he is truly desolate. Not to mention the stark realization of the single mother working 3 jobs still behind & unable to get to work for the price of gas. How about the fervent preacher who sings the praises of the Good Book while preaching love and acceptance to the massive crowd sitting inside his super-dome church, but fails to notice the impoverished family on the street, un-welcomed by his misguided standards and confused glances. Isn’t that the mere philosophy of spreading God’s word through Jesus Christ? Setting out to the ends of the earth to reveal to people who are scorned, homeless, helpless, scared, confused, shamed, un-wanted, sick, weary, jaded, bruised, angry, under-educated, abused, loveless, confident yet empty, sure but lost…..isn’t that our duty? Isn’t that the obligation that we are indebted for the mercy bestowed upon us by the sweet embrace of God’s love and protection? He’s calling your name….will you answer? Do you reveal a smile and maybe spare change to the man bearing dirty clothes and miss-matched boots cowering beneath your feet, wondering if someone cares if he eats today? Do you give pause the enraged kid who cut you off? Don’t you realize that his worth has been devastated with “You will never” & “You’re not worth it” coupled with aching abandonment? Do you not realize that it only takes one connection, one helping hand, one realization, one smile to connect those in want to the living word of God? Just one to narrate the Word through actions to those who’ve never been exposed. Just one selfless act to revive a life hanging in the balance. God has a master plan that incorporates every single one of our achievements, our conflicts, our triumphs, our offerings...we are writing the ultimate pages of the story and the outcome depends on our actions, our smiles, our hand of acceptance, our decision to laugh it off or dwell on the redundant, our embraces, our tolerance……our Jesus. Who are we? And what part of this story will you write?

Wonder Volume XII

It would seem as though this world is made up of structures and systems that benefit those who are not divinely connected to God in one way or another. I see the failures of the justice system, CPS, financial institutions, the IRS, the road raged person in the car next to you in rush hour traffic. It is all designed to weave a web that will in the end spell disaster for those left behind to face the end times. It is the desire of the dark king to put you, servants of the God Almighty, in less than favorable conditions inside this world he has slowly convinced. He has managed to take God out of our schools, our government, almost our money, and physically off of the stone set by our fore fathers who based their every judgment upon the grace and favor of the Lord. So when he is meddling in your affairs and it seems as thought there are no resolutions, turn your cheek once more and seek the guidance of your God. He never gives us something we can’t handle right? It is what you do with the boiling feelings of resentment, anger and frustration that will lead the Children of God to an even sweeter Victory over Satan’s worldly army. Forgiveness is the way of Jesus Christ. Don’t throw your hands up in resignation. Just know that right here right now you are exactly where God has placed you in your journey to find your true purpose and definition in life. It is molding you into the fine instrument He has planned for the end of days and the beginning of eternal life. Your testimonies, your correspondence, and above all your actions in your life will affect those around you. How you demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ through the dealings on your plate will show others what to attain when searching for the fortitude to handle themselves in their own situations. If you go to church every Sunday morning and evening, even every Wednesday but fail to minister Monday through Saturday through your actions, words and works, you fail to show others the love and inspiration of Christ. What would happen if every Christian were to speak softer, love deeper, forgive more often, smile instead of frown, and give rather than receive? One at a time we are all in this life for a much bigger purpose than we know. Some are called, and others aren’t. That’s okay, but as a Christian, called or not, it is your duty to live your life in a manner pleasing to God. Take a moment to give yourself time to reflect on your personal relation ship with Jesus Christ. Everything will fall into place when you are true to your heart and what He is telling you. Take care of your temple, meaning physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It is your only worldly body, but it makes it much easier to fight the battles. Talk the talk, walk the walk, and look the part. It will be your legacy for all time. Do you know what your legacy will be?

Wonder Volume XI

Sitting over a warm cup of coffee watching each person in the very moments of their life that could change their path; I realized that life is a very tiny stitch in the much larger quilt being sewn by our Father above. With each different color, each different thread, each stroke of the needle He is gently weaving our lives one by one, designing it with personal journeys and defining moments. Stepping outside of my own busy day to day, I saw the unique gift of my Shepard in the form of tears, rainy days, even a mother holding her child close. Appreciating the value of the path I have been blessed with, I reach deep within my soul to find what gifts and testimonies that are mine to share through the love of Jesus Christ. I challenge all to find what is theirs to share, whatever the form it comes in. Find Jesus within each decision and conversation. Broadcast the intense love with those in need who can’t quite fit the design that has been chosen to weave the coming days of their own lives. A spark can become a flame and change everything. The time has come for the Children of God to take their place in this world to put all of our affairs in order. There is no guideline and there are no instructions. This has turned from a worldly journey to an individual unveiling. What stitch will you help make in the final quilt of the world? Will you leave the homeless forlorn? Will you let the hungry wilt? Will you let the chance pass by to share the love of your Father with a lost soul? Don’t ever do that. It could save someone at the most significant moment in their journey to Christ’s love. Be a shield and protect your brothers and sisters that don’t know the unexplainable, passionate, furious love of the Almighty. That is our job. Stop worrying about dinner, don’t worry about the bank account, don’t worry about the grass, stop worrying about the least of all things in life. If you do not unearth or act upon your purpose, we are failing to start the Revolution of Souls. Where are the fabrics of your soul that you will offer up to be sewn today? Share, love, pass the hope along, and pray for the safe passage of all. After all, who are we to hog the warmth of the covers God is sewing in our comfortable, sheltered, sated lives? We are only the blood-covered sinners that are saved by the choice of one man. Humbling doesn’t even begin to cover it.
