9/9/04 From God the Father and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ - A Letter Given to Timothy, For Lyn and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

Oh, beloved daughter in Christ Jesus, long have I wanted you to come to Me.

Long have I watched you in your times of pain and anguish. Oh, how I tried to comfort you, but you could not hear Me.

You were still in your sin and consumed by it. Then were you sinking into your self-created abyss, your time was not yet.

Now have I finally washed you. You have come to Me and I to you. This will never change. Once you are with Me, so ever shall it remain.

Nothing can separate you from Me...nothing above, below, or in the world. So My child, now renewed and made new, put on these fine linens of white and DO NOT SOIL THEM!

Hold steadfast to all you have learned of Me and never let go, for I am the Truth and the Life. I will never abandon you.

The great day of the Lord God Almighty, Maker of all things, has come... and who will stand? Only those, who have made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb, will I keep from My hour of judgment, which I will rain down upon the whole earth until that great and glorious Day of My Son's return. Then all things will be made new, and all things will be put under His feet. Therefore, Lyn, look up...your redemption draws near! Rejoice! I remember your sins no more, for My Son has taken your place.

Now go and devour My Word as a starving person devours bread. Is not the bread I give you that much more special than that of the starving man's? For I give it freely and with understanding...you only need ask. Does not the bread of the starving man, once devoured, only satisfy him for a short time, then pass away? Then does he not feel empty? Once again into the world he goes in search of bread...not just a particular bread, but any bread he can get his hands on. Some he finds fresh and satisfying; and others, rotten and foul, so foul that he may vomit them out of his mouth. The bread I give to you is of Heaven, the bread for your soul. Devour it only, and My Word only shall you devour. No others!

My peace and love I give to you, and may My peace and love surround you and fill you all your days ahead until you are with Me once again. Do not be amazed by this. Before you were knit together in that secret place, only the Lord knows, did I know you would come to Me as I know who will of all peoples and nations, for the names written in the Book of Life were there before the creation of the world.

I am the I Am, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
I am the First and the Last, the Everlasting Light of the World. Amen!

Jesus is NOT the answer. I don't care how many bumper-stickers say otherwise.
Jesus IS the WAY. Let me explain the difference.

For the sake of discussion, I asked my sister-in-law (who is from Spain) to translate a sentence for me from English into Spanish. Here is her answer: "Spanish spanish spanish-spanish, spanish spanish spanish spanish spanish spanish."

She made spanish into the ANSWER of her translation, instead of the WAY of her translation.

(again for the sake of discussion) I asked a friend mathematician to handle these three problems. Here is his answer: "3X2 = mathematics ... 5 / 4 = mathematics ... 185 - 667 = mathematics."

He was about as helpful as my sister-in-law, don't you think? See the chaos that can happen when someone mistakes the WAY for the ANSWER?

In the first case Spanish was the WAY she was supposed to derive the answer, and in the second example mathematics is the WAY that he was going to handle the questions ... but they inserted the WAY AS the answer.

This is absurd, no? And it is just as absurd to say that Jesus is the ANSWER, when He is the WAY.

The ANSWER always is concerned with "what" ... but it is a far greater thing to know the WAY, because every WAY is concerned with "HOW." If you know HOW, or then you have hope no matter what unforeseen thing comes against you.

Jesus is the HOW to handle the unforeseen things.

Just think about knowing HOW to speak Spanish opens up infinite ways to communicate something. Just think about knowing HOW to use mathematics can make limitless questions (not just the ones that you have memorized) answerable. Jesus, likewise, is the WAY, and we thus know HOW to live.

Creation's ultimate purpose is to glorify God. Jesus is the WAY.for me, a part of the creation, to glorify God. Without the WAY, then I am doomed to fall short of the glory of God. I cannot glorify God on my own, apart from Him I can do absolutely NOTHING, but continue in slavery to sin.

The WAY is Jesus. He is HOW.

I may never know what I should have done in the past, but I know HOW I should have done it ... The Way, before, was Jesus. I should have exchanged my inabilities for His ability.

I may never know what I should do tomorrow, but when I get there ... the highest calling for me is that Jesus be the WAY, the actual HOW, it gets done ... not by my might, nor by my power, but by His Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord Jesus.

And as for right NOW, I won't know the answer for what I should do to glorify God, but if I find the WAY, Jesus, then He will supply the answer, even in this very moment.

To every thing that we are so strong as to come up with the answer, we consider that Jesus is irrelevant. We say that we can handle this one, and we call on Him later, if we need Him. Why? We skip the Way. Thus, the answer that we come up with on our own is a guess in the dark. Clearly we have lost our way, without Jesus. And without Jesus, we only think that we know the answer, but we don't.

So, I say that for as many things that I think that I know HOW to handle, it is exactly those things of which I have yet to repent. Why? Because Jesus is the WAY ... He deals with HOW. And by His Spirit, all things are possible.

The more the American people watch AKA perform, the more convinced they are that AKA is a closet Muslim. A few of the incidents that give indication:

1. His bowing in fealty to the Saudi King.

2. His comments before the Turkish parliament, in April 2009, that many "Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim majority country. I know, because I am one of them."

3. His repeated comments that America is not a Christian nation. In 2008, in an email to CBN News senior national correspondent, David Brody, "I think that the right might worry a bit more about the dangers of sectarianism. Whatever we once were, we're no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers." (He also states this in his book, The Audacity of Hope, page 258, pb, Vintage Books, July 2008.)

4. His comments, in early June 2009, before French television cameras, that, "… if you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world." (Not true, but in AKA's narcissistic eyes, that he said it makes it true.)

5. His constant pandering to the Islamic nations of the Middle East.

6. His promise, in May 2009, to the Palestine Authority that Jerusalem would be theirs.

7. His recent comments made to French President Nicholas Sarkozy in reference to the French ban on Muslim head scarves and crosses in schools (as if French laws and policies are any of his concern).

5/6/05 - From Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ - A Letter Given to Timothy, For His Wife and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

Question asked by Timothy, for his wife: Lord, why does she feel so unsettled after her visit with Rose, a homeless person?

Answer from Jesus Christ:
Beloved, to the poor are we indebted, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. You have felt the Spirit upon you. You know now what your husband knows, for the Spirit is upon you, and it is called Truth. Beloved, compassion have you shown.

This is the way of the Lord and your Christ's, My way. Feel not remorse, for theirs is the path they have chosen, which led to Me. No one is given to Me unless the Father first calls them. Theirs is the path of salvation. Do not grieve for them, for what about them saddens you? Rejoice, My child, for they have a home and a garden. I have prepared it for them, and soon will gather them up to Myself, so they may be where I am and dwell in the place I've prepared from the beginning. Indeed they are poor...in this world, very poor. Look, and give thanks and praise, for the Lamb of God has placed the pearl in their hand...it is freely given to those who ask.

Beloved, you have much and are grateful. You have nothing and everything. You and she, whom you befriended, are both wealthy beyond words. The wealth you both have is equal, for to both have I given of Myself. See with the eyes of Christ. You have, but only as a woman...see with eyes wide. All you have is but a glimmer, a twinkle...here now and gone tomorrow. I see you only as you are, and will be, as all were meant to be purposed by the Father.

To one must all be lost to be found; to the next, nothing is lost and everything gained. And yet, the truly blessed are those who never lost or went looking for their pearl, they had held it close their whole life. All are born from and have the pearl with them. It is the world and the evil one, who deceives you into thinking you lost it, and that it never existed. Even he, who lies and thieves and is the father of them, may have the pearl if he turns and accepts Him who holds the pearl in His right hand...it is lost to him. And even his part in life shall be removed from him in the Last Day...forever separated from God, the second death.

Rejoice and give thanks for what you have, Beloved, and leap for joy for what you have received. Do what you can for the poor and hungry and widows and orphans, for in your compassion, and helping hands of love, have you touched the Lord and the love of your Father who is in Heaven. Feel not guilt over what you have and another does not. All is the Father's and given to those whom He chooses, and taken from those whom He chooses...both will call to Him. For it is the Father's will that all come to repentance and salvation in His Christ.

Sing amen, I say, sing amen...
        My work is nearly finished in all the earth.
All those whom ask of the Father, in His Begotten's name, have the reward.
Where two or three gather in My name, assuredly I say to you, I am there.
Amen, I say to you. My peace I give to you, but not as the world gives.

Why Witness?

_{by Trent - from Dec 2005}
What motivation do we have to witness? Should we set out to change anyone?

If you are ever compelled to say something, then say exactly that, by the Spirit, and with the words that He gave you to say.

If the Spirit tells you to instruct the dean of students of a seminary then march into their office and instruct them! If the Spirit tells you to hush while some ignoramus is begging you to tell them the gospel, then hush!

If the Spirit tells you to give everything that you own to somebody that is dripping with gold, then immediately give it away. If the Spirit tells you to withhold spare-change from someone who is dying of starvation then don't you give them a penny.

Start living according to the Spirit. Start walking by the Spirit, and abandon all of your thoughts and plans.

You think that everyone needs to know what you know? Well, that might be, but the need is not the call. Wait on the call, and when you do this you will be as a fisher of men. Stop deciding when to cast your net all day and hear one word from the Master ... and watch what happens, with such feeble effort applied to His specific call to action. Your boat will not be able to bring ashore all that will be accomplished in simple trusting obedience.

Right now all evangelical thrusts of mainstream Christianity have all lost their way. They are all about how man can be instructed by their carnal mind, hoping and planning to bring in a harvest through calculated resource management and supervision. That is mere training on how to walk according to the flesh, not according to the Spirit. Lets forever repent of any lonely un-holy ambitions and acts of devotion that have no origination from the Spirit. That stuff is just sinning and calling it good. It is wood, hay and stubble, and just exhausting ourself in the meantime with nothing to show for it.

I witness to reality on this blog, but only because it would be more exhausting to hold it within. God has placed this song in my heart, and I am revealing this true-condition as I speak. I don't care it if moves one person closer to God. I don't care if it makes some people go to war with God. What you do with it is your own business. There isn't anything "in it" for me one-way-or-the-other. My satisfaction comes just be getting it off my chest and the relief does not depend on your response.

By the Spirit, I know about and witness to a reality that is revealed to me. Do with it, however you want to. Whether you "amen" or scoff at it, I only want your true condition to be revealed. If nothing else, I only encourage that we be true and lay aside all pretense, even the pretense of ignorance with regard to what has been revealed to us.

Table for Two

The more I grow, the more I realize that relationship is the crux of it all.

Often we approach the relationship to God with a systematized forensic understanding of the basis of relationship (ie. the facts of the gospel.) ... but at some point, we begin to realize that the relationship makes true those facts ... not the facts making true the relationship ... and all that stuff, no matter how much we think we have it figured out, is meaningless apart from God, Himself ...

What if there was no Bible (as the past has shown to be the case) and no religion (see Abraham) ... would there not be an essential table set at the heart of man that seats only two? Would there not be a place in the very heart of us to build something of a personal and unique understanding between God and each of us? And wouldn't this fit under the heading of "relationship?"

Then what is all this religious stuff we pile up around this table, so that we can hardly see it?

You are blessed. You are loved. You are building something that religion cannot replace, when it is you and the Lord baring your heart to each other ... crying and shouting, being heard, and understood ...and seeing how the other responds.

I have found the most impressive communication of God's love has come to me after shaking my fist and cursing Him.

This is how we ripen for the harvest ...
