Agony of Deceit

Everything done in the dark will eventually come out in the light. We all go through things and do things; that are not right. We try to conceal what makes us look bad. Some pretend they have things they never even had. All to display an image, some probably should get.
I've heard people say that it was all to save face. To ease causing pain to someone they love. Usually, just making things worst. Placing deceit upon hurt. Or straight up deceit. Causing people to act, react or believe what they want them to believe. Sometimes it may just be something, their trying to achieve. Either way it’s a form of deceit. Of course a lie is a lie and no one wants to be deceived.
There are many reasons people get into this kind of thinking. But everyone knows there's a reaction to every action. So bits and pieces are given. Revealing only a fraction of what's really the truth. Leaving out the details of an issue or the things we do. Because we feel in our heart the intent may not be understood. But, when you think about it. Does this give birth to a problem? Or, is it all for the good?
Most people have a natural instinct or sense of deceit. So, it’s not very useful, when the person afflicted; is aware that it's there. It takes a bigger person not to be part of this stuff. But gain true insight from heaven above in seeking Gods Kingdom first.
In this being part of the Kingdom of Love. We should be able to discern truth and what's really going on. Just like Christ knew Judas would betray him before it was done.
This may be hard to achieve when you don't know what to believe. Even more so, when you deny the truth within. Because it's something you don't want to see. So many choose to act as though, they don't know. But you can know this for sure. Wrong won't last long. Because the Father is the Author. He composes the music. Creates the stage and closes the curtains on every play. Revealing truth in an undeniable way.
So remember God is not dead. Jesus Christ arose from the dead. There is no body in that grave. He is the high counselor. He is the Living Word. The Spirit of Truth and the only way.

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Colossians 1: 13-14


For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. Mark 4: 22

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Ephesians 22: 22

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and has been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 2 Timothy 3: 13-14

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will shew you things to come. John 16: 13

And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. John 8: 32

For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. John 13:11

Daily Dose

Because we are human, living in a world of sin and turmoil. We should acknowledge the truth in all that we are and all that we do. We may not be where we were. But we're not where we gotta get, yet.
Every day we live. We need vaccination from this world's contamination. Being inflicted with sin we need that cure in order to be pure. Daily injection of Christ is the only thing that will make us whole. Renew our mind, cleanse our heart and save our soul.
As I opened my eyes this morning. The rest of me had to catch up to actually see the day dawning. Just to experience the free choice and will, I've been blessed to receive with the love and care I've been given to give, is a cause to pause and give recognition with praise to the creator of all. Though some days I forget. And some days seem rushed and somewhat chaotic. I know when my focus is God. There is no stress or chaos about it.
All that I do and all that I am. I pray it be based on what the Father commands. Because he is the one, I must call on, time and time again. He opens the door when you feel locked out and can't go in anymore. He opens the window of our heart so were not overwhelmed with despair. He breathes in new life and fresh air. Cleansing our soul and renewing our mind. So we can keep up and are not left behind.
I must say, it’s not surprising, how we easily get caught up in ourselves and the cares of this world. We forget our purpose, what were made of, and what we’re here for. Just like the people of Israel in the bible days. We have the same ways. Our God is the one we should be caught up in. Because he is the one that brings deliverance. We all need to get up with our very first love. The omnipotent one. Our creator and maker.
A good place to begin is in the realm of humility. Where we humble ourselves through confession. Realizing we're no better than the next one. Taking spiritual medicine to cure the disease of a spirit in need, may have a requirement to go in to the deep. Far beyond physical necessities. Leaving behind such things as pride or the ego boost that cause you to get loose. And we all know anything loose will eventually fall. So instead of just hanging. Tighten up what's loose and let God do a work in you.

Now ye are cleansed through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing. John 15: 3-5

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that rare in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Colossians 1:15-17

Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6: 11

And he said to them all, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow me. Luke 9: 23

For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? Luke 9: 25

By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life. Proverbs 22: 4


As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him. Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Colossians 2: 6-8

And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and
Aaron in the wilderness: And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger. Exodus 16: 2-3
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1John 1: 9-10

Focused

Being focused is a conscious decision. For some, it's naturally given. But from my experience. It's rare for many, including myself. It's a conscious decision. Not naturally given.
So as we go through our day. We need to be sure and have our priorities straight. Because there's an enemy out there trying to take, whomever he can take. Than lead as many as possible; outside the way. Using all kind of tactics. Bringing chaos, confusion and conflict throughout the day. To the point where you have no choice but say “I need your help Lord. Help me to be, or go the right way” Than open up spiritual eyes, to focus on God. If you wish to abide in peace and his everlasting love. That's why.
Remember, if it’s not a part of the solution. It's a part of the problem. Some things we do. We should not even bother. Because our primary focus should be aimed towards our heavenly Father.
Doing the things he's called us to do, can sometimes determine whether we win or lose. As Son or Daughter of the King, There is an order, a perspective. A responsibility to the follow through with the orders that God has given you. Just like a soldier. We're in the army of God. We must follow through. If, we are to get, where we got to get to. Our ambitions and goals should be on the same accord with the living Word. In that, our prayers are answered and our voice is heard.

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; Colossians 4:2

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37: 5

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. James 4: 10

Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Matthew 24:42-44

The presence of God

Though many things require our attention. There is a need for quality time spending. Time spent on the God of our heart. The God of our mind and spirit. To hear his voice before making a choice. To feel his spirit before we deal with it. To see his face and show how much we appreciate his grace. To smell the aroma of that heavenly place and enjoy the taste of salvation. While we display the beauty of his character within our relations.
We must come into his presence in order to come out with it. No matter what the outcome may be in any given situation. It an't over until it's over. All mighty God has a plan for you today and a much better way. But we must communicate and relate with the one in charge. Otherwise, were like humpty dumpy sitting on a wall waiting for a great big fall.
So instead of a display of religion, in search of recognition, wrongful judgment or a heart of unforgiveness. Let us go into the presence of God. Where he'll ease the burdens and heal wherever you're hurting.
Get yourself up, off the wall. Then wrap up all the negativity, anger and hostility. Go in to the presence of God, where the garbage will have a great fall, as you answer the call.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. A-men. 2Corinthians 13:14

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26

And he that searched the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8: 27

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41

Beware of Distractions

This world is full of all kind of distractions and avenues that can lead you outside the will of God. But despite all that. If you have the Lord in your Heart. You won't ever be separated or torn apart spiritually from that special place of saving grace that comes from the Lord. The strength of his very spirit gives us joy, comfort and wisdom in times such as these. His direction and presence, is something we need not miss. Because distractions; are certain to happen. If we live in this world. We don't choose the unexpected. But we can expect it.
In Christ we bear fruit of the spirit to handle it. And with grace from God. These things won't penetrate our heart. Or damage our spirit with demonic scars. This is usually the intent. Instead, we get spiritual education by exercising our faith. Knowing our omnipotent God will lead us back in the way.
Don't ever forget. The enemy is real. There to kill, steal and destroy. Bringing temptations, and separation from positive relations and those we love. But with every attempt. There's a way out, where there's joy and serenity. Our heavenly father will indeed conquer all of it.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8: 28

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8: 38-39

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10: 13

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 4:8

Lion of Judah

Last night I had the strangest dream. It began when I was going through some sought of food line. It was a very huge restaurant with a lot of open space. It reminded me of this restaurant I use to go to as a teenager call Piccadilly. Many people were there eating, buying and what seem to be trading as though they were at a mall.
Not far from there in the middle of the street was a large monument. The monument was pearl white with stairs on both sides. You could go up one way and come down the other. On the sides were two giant statues of lions.
As I was being served I heard a loud scream coming from my right. By the time I turned to see what was going on. The scream turned into a a chaotic sound of panic, yelling and all kind of noise. People were running, jumping and doing whatever to get away from something. Of course, that was the end of my little meal I was so anxious to get.
I started toward the direction they were in and stopped in my tracks when I saw this huge being dive on two or three people and devour them. Blood was gushing every where. At that point, I began to run as fast as I could, to get out of that line of attack.
Lots of people were ripped apart and eaten alive. I had to run, duck, hide and do all I could do, to make sure I was not going to be next. I finally got out of that place and into the streets. The whole area had changed into a picture of devastation. I could not believe I was even there.
Anyway, I was trying to find somebody else, who had got away or survived this gruesome attack. I saw a small group of people in the distance that were close knit together. They seem to be wearing dark robes with hoods. That seemed strange to me. So I was not about to go that way.
I ran up those stairs that were in the middle of the street. When I got to the top. I noticed those lions were gone. The monument had not been tampered with at all. Everything else was broke up and shattered. This was really weird, because the place where they were. It was like they were never there. Polished and shiny. Looking like anything or person could sit there and be comfortable.
I said "Oh my God, that was those lions" By this time I had positioned myself in one of the spots. It felt smooth to my body and I was so tired I was about to go to sleep. Anyway, when I looked to my right I saw a window; which appeared out of nowhere. I climbed inside and pulled the curtains closed. The curtains were made out of silk with rainbow color designs all over them. This place was just enough space for me. I lyed down and felt very comfortable laying there. Though it seemed somewhat deserted outside, before I came in. I began to here sounds of chaos again. I came to the conclusion that; this was it. I have no place to go. I accepted defeat because there was no more I could do. So I began to pray and ask God to comfort me and give me peace so I would not experience the pain. I asked him to take me home with him, where I would have to run no more.
　

People purpose

God places, and allow, all kind of people in our life. They come in many different ways with several attributes. Sometimes it cost us a high price and sometimes there's something special they contribute. Either way there is a reason or purpose served in why they are there and what we do. Either way we have to be observant and recognize the truth. Its not always about whether we win or loose. But if we in some way grew. Did this person cause me to learn a lesson? Maybe that was the blessing. Did they cause me to fall? And did I rise up a bit higher; where I can now stand tall? What some may call a bum on the street. May be just the person we need. The one that can spread a smile that wipe tears from your eyes. The man or woman with many riches who denied you a position that could of caused you your life. Some people can be a blessing in disguise. There to build your character or save you from a grave; in which you may not have seen this day.
Our society has a standard that is separated from God in reference to who's Who. Whats right, whats wrong. Who is worthy, who is not. What you have or what you don't got. With God we are set apart from those kind of thoughts. We are who we are.
If we follow his example we'd save ourselves a lot of grief. By simply accepting people as God created them to be.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. 1 Corinthians 1: 27-29

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 3: 22-23
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6: 14-15
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin unto death. 1 John : 16-17
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Romans 12: 9

Confidence in Christ

Things don't always go the way we expect them too. We get falsely accused, rejected, dismissed, disrespected and neglected. And we don't always see the cause of what may feel like a continuous fall. With every step you take, there's two more stumbling blocks in the way. Provoking many to give up and have the chips fall where they may. But hold on, this is not your permanent home. Trust these things will not last. It all came to pass and there will be change. Our heavenly father has it all in his hands. Your foundation and destination is not determined by man.
You may feel as though your dreams have been crushed and there is no point in going on. You may feel that you're worthless and all alone. When no body's there and it seems no one cares. Remember God is real and he is there. Despite the view, its not about the people, places or things you see. But the living God inside of you. His name is Jesus and he has every key. Its not over. Trust and believe. He already has the victory.
All you have to do is commune with the God in you. Allow him to be that light in your darkest night. Don't let the enemy fool you into believing you don't have the victory. Because if God is in you. There is nothing on this earth that you can't do.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 1 John 5: 4-8

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1 John 5:14-15

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his son. And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life. and this life is in his Son. 1 John 5: 9-10

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4: 16
