Theologian? Religion? Seriously?

Just Have Faith

How hard it is for someone who has obtained a vast knowledge of God through great effort and intent to abandon all he has learned as vanity, and simply have faith for who God is and what He can do. The same applies to a wealthy man who has spent his entire life accumulating it to then give it away with nothing but faith, only for the chance to know God and have his kingdom inside them.  I was doing a bible study recently and someone made an entry qualifying themselves by saying they were:  the leader of a group called every woman is a theologian.  Really?  First, let us not set ourselves apart by what we study.  Doctrine only divides. The Word of God is gender neutral, just like Love.  It is also lifestyle neutral, and everything else neutral. His Love is for all of us, and fills us each with exactly the Love He knows we need and want.  Second, a theologian?  Really?  When someone says they are such a thing, I immediately turn away.

God’s Healing Music Frequency

I have been sick for about 6 weeks now (post date : 01-26-2024) , and getting over it just today I believe.  The coughing that took me to blackout and just short of it, is less now.  Chest congestion, head congestion, ear aches, body aches, foggy thinking, stomach aches, no taste or smell of food, and if there was, it was awful.  Through that time praying was hard, much more difficult than ever before, and just having hope was impossible.  Hope in what?  Another night and day of certain misery until?  Its one thing to be sick for a few days, even a couple weeks, but 6 weeks!  I knew and know God is with me, in me, but it became also clear he was letting me go through the length and width and breathe of this sickness.  Perseverance is a very unwelcomed teacher.  It teaches lessons we don’t want to have to learn.  It reveals in us complacency, taking things for granted, even apathy.  But, I didn’t care really, if there was a good reason for it in the end or not.  I just wanted it to be over with.  So I prayed angry prayers, why wouldn’t he heal me!  I mean out loud, yelling to Him, to His face.  I knew he could, I hoped he would, but he did not.

The Will Of The Soul

the 6th seal opened
the 6th seal was opened

There is a place inside every person I call “The Will Of The Soul”.  It is our life force compass, our moral center.  It is the place in us we let no one touch or see or know, but ourselves. It is the one true private secret of secrets.  It is the secret even we don’t tell ourselves.  It is the decision we don’t know until we are forced to go to this place in us to make it, to use it, to know it.  More accurately, its not a singular place, but The Will Of The Soul is the force within the place in us that we guard with our very lives.  It is the one thing we cherish and hold dear.  It is the essence of who we are.  It’s also who we have been and will be.  Now for every believer who is in Jesus, whether water baptized or Spirit baptized, The Will Of The Soul takes on even a deeper meaning, greater than life itself.

A Field was planted by God

I am the vine you are the branches
I am the vine you are the branches

He cleared and tilled and planted a field with good soil. His seeds germinated, sprouted, and grew well. His enemies saw the sprouts but were very busy with their plans to distract, deceive and destroy the world and everyone in it. They did not pay the field any heed.  The plants grew and multiplied.

Then satan noticed the field was growing and now in full bloom. So he sent a beast to destroy the field and all the plants by mowing them over and rolling them under. He left believing he had completely destroyed all God had accomplished.  Very soon the rains came and as the sun shown brightly on the field, the scattered pieces of the vines of the plants that were tilled under grew quickly into small plants, and the field was covered with them again.

It’s Simple, Don’t complicate it

It is simple.  A statement for the universe and for eternity.  A fact for everything that is and what will be.  Life is simple, and the purpose of life is simple.  Humans complicate it. Everything that I think, say, do and write is based on one simple fact, God is, He is Life, and he has gifted us our lives. We could not even exist with Him. It is the Truth, the pretext, the premise, the one certain factor in everything.  Here is another simple fact.  When you take your last breath, you will be face to face with Him, and how will that conversation and experience go for you?

Trust Jesus

Just start talking to God like he was sitting right next to you. He likes that.

These times are difficult for most of us. We’ve been isolated, distanced, remoted ( know that is not a word, but it is now for me, Webster take note) from each other. Staying healthy is a challenge, both mentally and physically. Keeping faith in God takes more effort, since we are more alone in our prayers, worship, and songs. Trusting Him is the same act, but we have to encourage ourselves more often, since we need to do more of it, and we have less encouragers. It’s so much easier to get pumped up in your spirit when you are worshiping with many others. It’s great to get out and be among others, but if we are honest, we still fear getting the virus. And what that is, is for another post sometime. But the reality is, the anxiety and fear are felt more often than we admit. And they cripple us, and steal our joy for life. But we cannot let them.

I Know the Man, Jesus

This is a poem, entitled “I Know The Man”.  It is intended to be a song one day.  So until that happens, I am hoping this post and poem will bring light into your life, the light of Jesus.  I hope you like it.  Just imagine a tune as you are reading it, one that is happy, encouraging, heavenly. 
I know the man…

My Holy Spirit Baptism Experience

This is where I received the Holy Spirit baptism, by this swimming pool, while I was working, right where the middle set of chairs and table are. I was making notes to myself about God and Jesus, in 1980, Largo, Florida. And I wrote these words: “OK Jesus, you fight Satan for me”.

Jesus lived, is alive, and everything in the new testament letters is true.  I testify that I received the Holy Spirit wind, and the tongue of fire just as they did, the first apostles.  It is fact.  It happened then, it happens now, and I am living proof.  You have been told.  Stop doubting and believe!

Are You A Super Hero

Ya know …
I always start with that phrase after I have given something a lot of thought and research and prayer and have a revelation of knowledge or spirit truth and have to share it so ya know… pause for you attention…  I have been watching marvel movies lately. Never saw them before. And when I watch I try to see God in what the writer intended.  In any movie that is all fun, excitement, special effects, and cartoon violence there are messages worth hearing and seeing, things said that are noteworthy, of value. And of course that is true with every word in the 27 letters of the Bible and the older books too,  and when we receive a word of truth from the Father from His Spirit in us.  I see these heroes with super powers and they fight these battles, get absolutely crushed and somehow, not only survive, but also just shrug it off and get up and keep fighting.  Well, we have to remember that we are heroes and we have super powers within us, far greater than anything a computer can generate and put on a silver screen.

My Garden, My God

Let the fertile ground of my garden grow Godly things
Let his beauty and grace be glorified in His creation
Let my thoughts dwell only on those things that please Him
Let the Holy Spirit dwell here, and make His home here
Let Jesus walk among the flowers and be joyful
By your authority I will tend it well
I will not let the weeds take root,
I will tear them out, and cast them far.

The 3 Arks of God’s Safety

The Father knows we need peace and safety from the world and all that is evil in it. Jesus told his disciples over and over again, fear not, the world has many troubles, but take heart, I have overcome the world. From the beginning of time until now, God has sent three arks for us to use. The first ark was Noah’s ark. The great flood was coming. God saved a small group, and all the living creatures as well, by giving Noah the task of building a large boat, an ark, by which they would be saved. This required great faith and obedience and effort. He heard God’s voice among all the distraction, deception, and destruction, listened carefully and, with great courage, did what the Father asked him to do.

Do You Know Jesus?

The first apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ were chosen, and were people just like you and me.  Jesus tried to explain to them the relationship He had with His Father, but without the Holy Spirit in them, they just didn’t get it.  Flesh and Spirit, though they reside in the same body, have different lives.

Grandma’s Story

When we can experience first hand God working in our lives and the lives of others, it is so encouraging, faith building, and assures us we are in His will and His constant vision.  It confirms, He knows us inside and out, even the number of hairs on our heads.  Today I want to share with you when my grandma went on to be with the Lord.  I say this because the experience confirms it.  Let me tell you the story.  
My grandma had cancer.  She had a few months left, and she knew it.  She was a Catholic her entire life, and talked about “her loving Jesus” to me many, many times.

My Experience At The Cross

I want to share an experience I had at the Cross.  I attended a special worship service, years ago.  Two significant things happened during that service, that I personally experienced. 
The people had set up a replica of a Holy of Hollies tent.  During the service the leaders walked around and prayed for people, laying on hands.  They prayed for me, and one person put their hand over my heart.  I felt a burning right there, in my chest growing stronger, until it felt like a hot sword inside me.  My legs got weak, and then those praying for me left.  I felt my sweater, and it still felt hot.  When the service was over, I went up onto the stage, to walk inside the display.  They had a wooden cross set up.  I pressed my hand against it.  Immediately I was in the Spirit.

Are You Ready To Meet Him?

Was I ready? No way! I had a health crisis.  I was near death.  For a very brief time I went to heaven.  Let me simply say I did not want to come back.  More on that in a later post. To say the least it all gave me pause, time to reflect, pray, and examine my Relationship with the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as I have never done.  What I thought was a good Relationship, needed work.  I thought I was ready to face Him, but I was not.  And that realization struck fear in my heart, anxiety like never before.  All my other small fears, anxieties, ticks, habits, concerns were nothing compared to that one thought, I was not ready to meet Him. The world had a grip on me more than I thought.  It was in me in places where only He should have been.  He was not THE priority in everything, yes everything, and He needed to be, and He needs to be.
