Dare

Get Up and Fight!

Those that are of God, stand. We are of the nation of Israel, we are of the root of Jessie grafted into Yeshua’s olive tree. The light of the world lives within us!

I say this to my own soul as to bloggers also, take hold of life! In Jesus there is victory, abundance but not as this world offers.

When the enemy tempts with old thoughts of ‘well you could cut yourself’ or ‘it won’t hurt to hide xyz’ then turn around and accuse…News flash it’s why he is called the accuser of the Children of God…

The darkness knows the way, truth and life and authority that dwells dormant within many who are baby Christians…

the ‘falling away’ is taking place, and with sorrow I see those that are in my generation that are hopeless, depressed, entitled, bound up in sin of self or sins of bitterness, rage, anger and unforgiveness…

I shine the light within me as best I know how, hoping it reaches some that read what is written here…

The biggest person I had to forgive was myself…and get ‘myself’ out of the way to live for God…

‘I’ do indeed die daily, for didn’t Jesus say ‘let those who follow me take up their execution stake daily.’ ?

Did he also say ‘count the cost, and consider before you set out to build your house least you not finish it and become a mockery?’

did Jesus not say ‘Build your home upon the rock, the rains came and the waters came up but the home remained secure.’

Paul mentions in 2nd Timothy Chapter 2:1-7 AMP

So you, my son, be strong [constantly strengthened] and empowered in the grace that is [to be found only] in Christ Jesus. 2 The things [the doctrine, the precepts, the admonitions, the sum of my ministry] which you have heard me teach [a]in the presence of many witnesses, entrust [as a treasure] to reliable and faithful men who will also be capable and qualified to teach others. 3 Take with me your share of hardship [passing through the difficulties which you are called to endure], like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier in active service gets entangled in the [ordinary business] affairs of civilian life; [he avoids them] so that he may please the one who enlisted him to serve. 5 And if anyone competes as an athlete [in competitive games], he is not crowned [with the wreath of victory] unless he competes according to the rules. 6 The hard-working farmer [who labors to produce crops] ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops. 7 Think over the things I am saying [grasp their application], for the Lord will grant you insight and understanding in everything.

In God you don’t have to know what you’re doing. You just have to know Him who does.

Acts of Kindness,

Open eyes of blindness.

 

A cohort of power,

Civic foul hour.

 

Party-political opinion,

Lifeblood ideal pinion.

 

Oh cost, someplace gash?

Oh measure, spiteful lash!

 

Do they not care?

Do they not dare?

 

Please, don’t ask of news,

Anarcho-syndicalist red hues.

 

I standpoint temperance,

Or all at one.

 

I stand for Nazarene,

And fall for none.

The Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 promised great things for the Iranian people. The mullahs that took over the nation promised an Islamic paradise on earth. More than 35 years later, Iran’s people have lost hope in their government, and in the religion it upholds. Dr. Hormoz Shariat speaks daily to millions of Iranians through satellite television. He shares the hope of Jesus with a nation that has lost hope in their Islamic government, and he sees great waves of people who have rejected Islam now embracing Jesus, the Savior. This week on VOM Radio, Pastor Hormoz shares exciting things God is doing in Iran and challenges Christians in the United States to be as committed to our God as radical Muslims in the Middle East are committed to theirs.

God is Calling, Will You Listen?

My Love calls over His Holy Hills, He is up from His Holy Home to greet those who seek the treasures He lavishes on those that have the nerve to ask…

Dad, Father Above, Absence of Conflict, Lord of all things good, Father of lights; I love you so much, but you so much more…

I become misty eyed over your tenderness, over your goodness…This gift is too precious to keep but must be given away, just as you gave it all away to gain it all because of the ‘Joy set before You.’

Oh heavenly Father, from the first breath to the final; you hear my cries, needs, you tenderly watch over me…I lift my eyes to the maker of the Heavens and the keeper of my heart…My love, my lover…I am full to overflowing, your mercy is new and reborn again with every cresting sun rise…

You paint the sky’s with  your mercy, with your brilliance…be it the night star showers, red moons of wonder or the clouds with the heaven’s azure sunflower floorboards!

Words cannot describe how great and wonderful you are…I want to share this Love with others and don’t care if I look a fool for doing so in my zeal for You Lord! 

Adonai is Good!

Thoughts and a few dares to my readers

Funny how when the sun comes up that my personal outlook changes. Had a heck of an evening last night.

Start off with some worship music and all of a sudden I am filled with the grace of God.

Perhaps the thoughts that are typed out reach some, touch some etc.

I hope they do, I am by far from anything conventional, the more that I see of the world of the ‘now’ around me it’s funny how much some things don’t change. World players do, but the thread of God throughout history has the same formula!

On into the rest of the post: 

Don’t take my word for it, go look through the tomes of history and you will see what I mean.

Actually, get thy self to a library (you know the place with those things called books) and look up topics on ‘moves of God’ or ‘Jewish History’ better yet ‘Messianic Jewish History’ and you will be blown away, in a good way, in an ‘ah-ha’ way, in a way that is ‘whoa this is still going on’ you’d be correct…

Despite all of the drama of history being penned by different people, by victors I can tell you that without theology, etc.

The Bible is the One unified Book that contains enough real accounted for stories of life lived by those that loved, lost, some were vain, some disobeyed God, yet it says ‘all day long I have stretched out my hands to you (Jerusalem) and you killed the prophets I sent to you’ and yet God still loves present, past and future tense…

The great I AM loves every single soul that has passed away, yet to be born, and those that are among the living…

The choice is ours to get to know this Great One spoken of, getting to know that we are being spoken to by the Great I AM! 

It’s so critical to sift through what is garbage and what isn’t junk by the tone of Jesus’s voice…

It’s going to be the subdual things you never thought could take the seat of hearts that cause many to drift…

Add a dash of truth here, cherry pick there, doesn’t sound bad at all? Is it? 

(Question: Good or God?) 

(Better Question: Does this ‘xyz’ line up with Yeshiva (Jesus) being the only way to salvation, the only hope for the world, and the only answer for anything…if the answer is ‘NO’ Paul said that is a sure-fire way to know it isn’t of God; it’s apostasy.)

A War and Wedding Feast will have their place in history, in the near future…

The good thing about not knowing is it sifts away those that are slack in taking God seriously and those that are always at the ready;

Those watchmen and women who sense God’s heartbeat and His Appointed Seasons.

My challenge to the reader is:

I dare you to get to know God,

I dare you to be so on fire, and so sold out for only Him that yes you give up Facebook, Twitter, social media

(I have it was hard as heck, but I did it with God’s help)

Are you willing to give up the idol of ‘what others think about you’ and yield to only what God thinks about you, and says to you?

Are you willing to faithfully spend time, and out of a Love for God to in the places only you and God see and know to get to know Him?

I dare you to: become the generation that walks the thin red line of Yeshua, where angels fear to tread, and walk to the beat of God’s heart, unafraid of the things going on around, of the 10,000 that fall at your side but don’t touch you because you walk with Adonai.

I dare you to: yield to His Mighty comforting hands and wait on Him, to watch Him fight for you. With God’s sword of the truth in one hand and a harp of praise come what may in your other hand!
