Christ Revealed in Play-Doh

December 1, 2016 By David Roberts Leave a Comment

playdohAll children and adults are familiar with Play-Doh. Some time ago I began using it to communicate principles in the Kingdom of God. Yes, I know it's silly, but in my mind, it's one of the many small things that demonstrate the divide between 'the way things appear' vs. 'what they are'.

If I were to show you a can of Play-Doh, and ask, 'What is this?' We would agree, 'it's Play-Doh'. But, what if I removed the lid and removed the clay from the container? Referring to the clay, I ask again, 'Well, if that was Play-Doh then what is this?' And, referring to the empty container, 'And, what is this?' Because the Play-Doh was in the container, they are considered one, yet Play-Doh is Play-Doh whether it's presented in the container or in another way. If the Son of Man is the Messiah, based on His Spirit in the man that came through Mary, then I'd like for you to explore the consequences of His Spirit being in our earthen vessels.

There are things all around, which announce His Kingdom in us. It's in all creation to be seen plainly, but with eyes to see, we'll see the Teacher appear at any time. The source of life is found in every human, so no matter what someone looks like on the outside, we should do whatever necessary to understand this dynamic.

'The way that seemeth right unto a man' comes from an instinct and a need to control our current circumstances and future. In ministry, there are some assumptions made that we must allow His Spirit to test and purify the intentions of our hearts. Placing a higher emphasis on vehicles to carry God than our fear of being wrong stalls our progress. God doesn't need another vehicle to ride. The one vehicle He designed for this job is YOU; You are His tabernacle! Your ministry vehicle must NOT be a thing we create to feel safe and predictable. Encountering God in this reality isn't safe at all. In fact, it's down right dangerous. Surrendering to God will almost certainly include restructuring or removing what you call ministry. There's a powerful key found in simple, childlike trust in God. As long as we're driven by fear, we need a revolution born out of love, but because it's love don't assume there won't be fire.

The greatest place of strength is found in weakness. When resources and ministry vehicles are gone or threatened, it often reveals whether it was His strength or survival that we are anchored. Mourning loss is normal, but I'm referring to the reality we married those things in the first place. We must know and understand that the shaking in our lives is a blessing from God and even a sign post given to help us allow Him to close chapters in our lives, so we can move as He moves. Nothing matures us more than total dependence on His Spirit so shaking off yesterday's events is an automatic, in order to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him. Denying self can only be done when 'self' (the container) is present and contrary to popular opinion, 'self' must be present. Reckon dead it's lordship! Simply don't follow it's instinctive directions but that's often easier said than done. We often fail to lay down some things because we viewed variables as constants.

There needs to be a shift from looking for resources so we can become 'the resource' for others. Instead of carrying people to church, focus on training your people to go live powerful kingdom lives in their world, and you'll be sending 'church' to them. This is what needs to change; the core of our ministries revolves around the church. Wrong! It should revolve around His Throne. Whatever anchor point we revolve around is our God.

Too often, well-meaning men stopped short of discovering their kingdom purpose because they're mixing the pure seed with something vile. It's an interesting dynamic where we seek God's face until one day, when we're facing Him, He turns us around to face His world. It's in this revolution we find our kingdom purpose. Without being empowered by God, we produce codependent relationships and organizations until God no longer permits. Until the cycle breaks we'll never realize we were 100% adequate without all the added trimmings. God will not permit mixed seed plans to succeed.

The Church is absolutely necessary but it must be put in proper order to the kingdom. Your earthly vessel is also absolutely necessary, and it must also be put in proper order. Instead of being saved from the world we are being saved for our world. What Jesus Christ did for the whole world, we bring into manifestation, according to our calling, a dispensation of the gospel, the measure of rule He has given us.

There is a veil shrouding the reality of your true identity and it causes a dismissal of powerful things that are small. This veil separates the pure kingdom from that which is out of alignment to His Spirit. Until you're able to behold him in the mirror, you'll be viewing from a distance your inheritance, instead of connecting with the treasure. Being human doesn't disqualify you. In fact, it's what qualifies you. But once you qualify, you will be qualified. Take this with you: Jesus said that if any man will come after Him, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Him. The key here is to remember that your container doesn't disqualify you from having the Great Treasure in you. Your container is where God wanted to live all along.

John wrote in 1 John that we shouldn't believe every spirit, that we should try the spirits. He further explains that every spirit that confess Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God. Have you ever considered that wasn't just Jesus' testimony John was writing about? Our testimony should be that He has come in our flesh. That's what the Play-Doh is all about. The container doesn't take credit but it does get a boat load of benefits.

If God's Spirit in The Son of Man makes Him the Messiah, then what does His Spirit living in your earthen vessel make you?

Close Enough to Perfect to Me

June 5, 2016 By David Roberts Leave a Comment

doorkeeperOff and on, for some time now, a scripture has come to mind often: For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. It's Ps 84:10. In this scripture, where he says he'd rather be a 'doorkeeper' really jumps out. A doorkeeper? Yes. The longer I think about it, the more I realize being a doorkeeper is not a shabby gig. The keeper of the door can only be a trusted son, who can carry out his duties based on intimately knowing his Father's Heart. He must know who to let into His House.

The doorkeeper operates at the vestibule, at the threshold, where we enter. Not to be too explicit, but the vestibule is also the entrance tissue to a woman's vagina. To be a mature doorkeeper to God's House you must be incredibly intimate with God, which will renew your mind in order to properly know how to govern the door of His House.

There is a well known scripture in Ephesians 4:11. In it we read where God gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Regardless how you read this verse there is a clear description on "why". He gave them for the perfecting of the saints.

Listening to a local country station the other day, an old song by the group Alabama came on, "Close Enough to Perfect". As I listened, my attention was arrested. God impressed to me a deeper appreciation and understanding of His love; and as leaders, our purpose.

"Don't you worry about my woman,
And what you think she aught to be!
She's close enough to perfect for me!" [full Lyrics below]

The perfecting of the saints has long been misunderstood. Perfecting does not mean robotic performance. It means  you're coming into adulthood, understanding your entire sin debt was paid by Christ, and walking in this truth. No, people won't just go robbing banks or leaving to start their own church if they are told this. That may be what you did, but that's what happens to those who focus on sin nature; they became what we behold.

As we become more intimate with Christ, we discover we weren't saved only by His grace; His grace also keeps us. The song "Close Enough to Perfect" is about a man accepting his wife right where she is. That's perfect Love folks! It will unlock her heart. Christ loved His Church so much He gave His life for her. His Church, His rules. The Bride doesn't call the shots and Christ isn't abdicating His role to lead; He's just leading by becoming her servant, with His righteousness.

What happens when we focus on the goodness of God? It disarms us! We have no reason to sin since death has lost it's sting. When Christ speaks it's not with accusation. It may not always be with approval of our actions but it is always with Love (approval of our person). He leads Her (Christ's Church) by Love. She responds like a mirror to His love (glory of the moon- reflecting the Sun) as she receives His seed. She, operating in His name, plants the same Seed in others and He's reproduced as the glory of the Sun.

Men, it would radically change our homes if we'd simply love our wives as He loved His Church. By no means have I arrived in this (ask my wife, lol), but I'm determined the only thing that will make me leave is a higher court to rule, saying I must go. The only thing that could separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus would be for The Higher Court to reverse His decision to love the world so much He would give His only Begotten Son; that's not happening!

The only thing that could separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus would be for The Higher Court to reverse His decision to love the world so much He would give His only Begotten Son; that's not happening!

So, let's say you're the doorkeeper in God's House. Who do you suppose you'd open the door for? In light of Christ's amazing Gift, to give Himself for His Church, to show His Love to the world, I'd say the door needs to be propped open; for whosoever will, His Church. I'm speaking of course of His House and not an individual ministry or what most of us know as a church (contrasted with The Church). So often, leaders become overly focused on the 'work' they're doing to see Christ gently guiding them in another direction; sadly, many still see men as trees.

In my 18 years of ministry, I've seen all sorts of believers, coming from many different positions; most have a passionate heart to do the will of our Father.

We need to clear something up. In His House, we are all doorkeepers. The question isn't, "are you a doorkeeper?"; it's "are you hindering people from entering?" I don't think Saul knew he was persecuting the Church until he had his encounter with God. Much the same, The Church doesn't know by carrying His name we carry His authority to open the door for others, or hinder them from entering. We are all doorkeepers to the people around us, in our world. You are a doorkeeper if you're part of the family of faith in Jesus Christ. You and I are both doorkeepers into our Father's House. As we grow into perfection, we begin to understand that to God we're kings, but to others we're priests. You don't need a certificate or an ordination to be a priest for Him. You just need to be still in your earth suit.

The Church doesn't know by carrying His name we carry His authority to open the door for others, or hinder them from entering.

Of those of us that know we're doorkeepers, many act like 'bouncers' at a night club, waiting on you to step out of line, measuring and weighing individuals for flaws. No, I'm not picking on you to condemn you. I'm picking on all of us so we all hopefully lighten up. Even the ones who act this way, they're welcome in His House too. Christ covers their sin as well. We're perfect, but we're also growing into perfection. We're perfect because we're spotless in Him, as the Gift of Christ. We are growing into perfection by the gifts He gave; Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers. These gifts help us to appropriate Christ occupying us, as His flesh.

As doorkeepers, we have people around us often who are often grown up children. They need patience. Don't run off and leave them alone. Hold their hand, invite them to lunch and model what it means to no longer think and act like a child. The Higher Court has ruled to send His only begotten Son to pay the sin debt for the world. As doorkeepers you can't overthrow the Higher Court.

"Don't you worry about my woman, And what you think she aught to be! She's close enough to perfect for me!"

Read the lyrics to this song; watch and listen. It's really a spiritual song that reflects Christ's attitude for His Bride.

In Him, David

Lyrics:
"Close Enough To Perfect", by: Alabama

Sometimes the morning coffee's way too strong.
And Sometimes what she says she says all wrong.

Right or Wrong, she's there beside me,
Like only a friend would be!
And that's close enough to perfect for me.

Now, She's been known to wear her pants too tight.
And drinkin' puts her out just like a light.
Heaven knows she's not an angel,
But she'd really like to be.
And that's close enough to perfect for me.

She kisses me each mornin'
And smiles a sleepy smile!
She don't have to say it.
I can see it in her eyes!

Don't you worry about my woman,
And what you think she aught to be!
She's close enough to perfect for me!

Sometimes she gets down and starts to cry!
But then again a lady has a right.

She's everything I ever wanted!
She's all I'll ever need!
She's close enough to perfect for me!

She kisses me each mornin',
And smiles a sleepy smile!
She don't have to say it.
I can see it in her eyes!

Don't you worry about my woman,
And what you think she aught to be!
She's close enough to perfect for me!

Whooooa... She's close enough to perfect... for me

 

"Close Enough to Perfect" is a song written by Carl Chambers, and recorded by American country music band Alabama. It was released in August 1982, as the third single from Alabama's album Mountain Music.

Can the Unseen God be Seen?

February 13, 2015 By David Roberts

blindI'm controversial. So what? Man didn't change me but His faithful, steadfast Love did.:

What most accept to be the "church community" generally places a lot of emphasis on the seen (gay marriages, etc.), while saying with our mouths, "We trust the Unseen God."

Don't get worked up over societies' woes unless it's your being honest to communicate that by changing society, you believe we will be closer to God. If you believe this, you believe a lie. This line of thinking is not how God thinks; it's not the mind of Christ.

He does not place all the emphasis on the seen. He sets sign posts to reveal Himself in the Earth, not to be worshiped and enforced on others, but to point toward Him, for those who seek Him. For all our talk about trusting an Unseen God, maybe we should start trusting this Unseen God. To trust Him for specific outcomes is trusting the seen, not God. Trusting Him by offering up your promise (Abraham offers up Isaac).

Don't get me wrong. I'm not condoning anything, but what's the greater abomination: A man lays with a man, or His Church laying with His Church (If His Love doesn't meet it's intended target, we are the greater abomination- His Love was never intended be left inside the walls of the church building)? Be emptied of your own ideas about "Tomorrow". He will not build on your ideas. Instead of trying to change the seen, trust the unseen. God is not judging America near as much as "The Church" is being tested in fiery trials. Our motives are on trial. He's searching for His Bride, Himself in the Earth. This test is not open book but I hope you're ready to take it, because it's here.

"...when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” Jn 21:18 esv

To answer the question about seeing the Unseen God; I believe the answer is "yes". If we surrender to His Grace, we become an open portal of God. With our veil removed, the unseen in us will flow like Living Water.

How Does God Choose His Elders that “Mother” His Glory?

February 7, 2015 By David Roberts

God chooses some in the Earth who "Mother" the glory of God. He chooses whom He pleases without consulting human flesh (read Matthew 12:50, Luke 8:21, Mark 3:35). These "Mothers" are vessels of honor, with no cracks (they are sincere).  They have illumination that 'doing' the will of God is not in human effort, as does the old wine skin. They do not reject the resurrection because they remain in awe of Him. They depend upon Him for every breath.

There are others, who love systems, their lives and human logic more than Spirit. They have not died, but this does mean they are disqualified. By purging themselves from the mind centered in the cares of the world, they shall be a vessel of honor, sanctified and in agreement for the Master's use. Then, they may be prepared to do every good work (II Tim 2:20,21).

babyIn the world, vessels of dishonor love man's failed systems, typically considered to be "church", defined solely with human intellect, without preparing others to abide in The Kingdom. Held hostage in a school only those like itself can graduate, the cycle repeats. Not all, but many of the "shepherds" of these institutions have already received their reward. They have argued with God about who is in charge of "the body". This morning, my mind began to think of one of the decisions Solomon made. Recorded in I Kings 3, two women had a disagreement about who was the mother of a child. One mother, said not to split the baby and walked away, while the other demanded the baby be split in half and they would each have half. In Solomon's wisdom, he determined the true mother was the one willing to give up the child. She loved her baby so much, she was willing to die for him to live. Her instinctive role was not to demand her rights to be the mother. Her instinctive role revealed in salvation to the child. As painful as it was, she denied her own desire and was willing to lose the role of mother to her child and that is how she gained the right to care for him.

By attempting to abort the Child coming in the Earth, vessels of dishonor reveal themselves as shepherds for hire, who will dance any song you sing, as long as the price is right. Ruling by force and by show is what seems right to the carnal mind but to those who have allowed their minds to be renewed, by the washing of the Word, they see the Kingdom of God in everyone. To those who have ears to hear, the Bride of Christ is not many different parts, but it's One Bride of many members.

Are you His mother? It doesn't matter what position you have or how many boards you sit. It doesn't matter how many certificates wallpaper your wall. And it doesn't matter if you're like the little kid in school that never got chosen. The Gift in you will make it's own way no matter how painful the birthing pains. What matters is, are you willing to lay it all down, right now, just at the idea it may save what God is doing in the Earth? If so, you are His "Mother".

Understanding Eternal Thinking

February 6, 2015 By David Roberts

Often, it seems we don't seemingly find understanding about; life and death, soulish and spiritual, temporary and eternal. They are all difficult to face. The following is a short poem of a conversation between leaves. The story comes from the novel Bambi, wtitten by Felix Salten. I find it very enlightening and hopefully you will as well.
leavesfalling

The leaves were falling from the great oak at the meadow's edge. They were falling from all the trees.

One branch of the oak reached high above the others and stretched far out over the meadow. Two leaves clung to it's very tip. "It isn't the way it used to be." said one leaf to the other.

"No,"the other leaf answered. "So many of us have fallen off tonight we're almost the only ones left on the branch."

"You never know who's going to go next, "said the first leaf. "Even when it was warm and the sun shone, a storm or a cloudburst would come sometimes, and many leaves were torn off, though they were still very young. You never know who's going to go next."

"The sun hardly shines now," sighed the second leaf, "and when it does, it gives no warmth. We must have warmth again."

"Can it be true," said the first leaf, "can it really be true, that others come to take our places when we're gone and after them still others, and more and more?"

"It really is true," whispered the second leaf. "We can't even begin to imagine it, it's beyond our powers."

"It makes me very sad," added the first leaf. They were very silent a while. Then the first leaf said quietly to itself, "Why must we fall?"

The second leaf asked, "What happens to us when we have fallen?"

"We sink down......." "What is under us?" The first leaf answered, "I don't know. Some say one thing, some another, but nobody knows."

The second leaf asked, "Do we feel anything, do we know anything about ourselves when we're down there?"

The first leaf answered, "Who knows? Not one of all those down there has ever come back to tell us about it."

They were silent again. Then the first leaf said tenderly to the other, "Don't worry so much about it. You're trembling."

"That's nothing," the second leaf answered, I tremble at the least thing now. I don't feel so sure of my hold as I used to."

"Let's not talk any more about such things," said the first leaf.

The other replied, "No, we'll let it be. But-what else shall we talk about?"

It was silent, but went on after a little while, "Which of us will go first?" "There's still plenty of time to worry about that," the other leaf said reassuringly.

"Lets remember how beautiful it was, how wonderful, when the sun came out and shone so warmly that we thought we'd burst with life. Do you remember? And the morning dew and the mild and splendid nights.........?

"Now the nights are dreadful," the second leaf complained, "and there is no end to them."

"We shouldn't complain," said the first leaf gently. "We've outlived many, many others."

"Have I changed much?" asked the second leaf shyly.

"Not in the least," the first leaf said. "You think so only because I've gotten to be so yellow and ugly. But it's different in your case."

"You're fooling me," the second leaf said.

"No, really," the first leaf answered eagerly, "believe me, you're as lovely as the day you were born. Here and there may be a little yellow spot. But it's hardly noticeable and makes you only more beautiful, believe me."

"Thanks," whispered the second leaf, quite touched. I don't believe you, not altogether, but I thank you because you're so kind. You've always been so kind to me. I'm just beginning to understand how kind you are."

"Hush," said the other leaf, and kept silent itself, for it was too troubled to talk any more.

Then they were both silent. Hours passed. A moist wind blew, cold and hostile, through the treetops. "Ah, now," said the second leaf, "I...."

Then it's voice broke off. It was torn from it's place and spun down. Winter had come.

Understanding Yeshua (Jesus) Fulfilling the Law

January 31, 2015 By David Roberts

Love Fulfills LawMany Christians find the law of Moses and Yeshua (Jesus) difficult to understand (reconcile). It really boils down to understanding the difference between "law enforcement" and "law fulfillment". He not only fulfilled the law but desires to continue fulfilling it through you.

The standard is not to keep the regulations but to die to what seems right, so the Spirit in you can lead you. The regulations keep themselves when you surrender to God. Being led of Spirit (loving God with all your heart, soul and body) results in looking past others performance (loving your neighbor as you love yourself).

Reconciling the Old and the New is not in finding how they are different, but how the two witnesses were saying the same thing all along. Two cant walk together unless they agree. If this seems like a foreign language, pray to understand the difference between "law enforcement" and "law fulfillment".

Meditate on this... Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13:10 (NKJV)
By no means are these few words intended to be all inclusive of all the wonderful discoveries many are making and is offered as a reference to help discern the difference in old and new wine skins. I hope this helps you. Feel free to comment, like and/or share.

Honor, Respect, Dishonor, Disrespect and the Offended

January 24, 2015 By David Roberts

If Yeshua (Jesus) is my Lord, He said I would hear HIS voice and would follow HIM. Where was HE going? When Paul said to follow him as he followed Christ. Where was he going? Answer: The cross (to die).

More times than I can count, I've heard these verses quoted:

"Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams." I Sam. 15:22

"For I desire mercy (love- kindness) and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

First of all, God sent His Son to reconnect fallen man (that which was lost). When someone continues to re-crucify Him, it demonstrates a lack of understanding that from God's perspective, you and He are no longer separated. Without this understanding, fasting may be appropriate until revelation of their being complete in Christ (it should only be done if you perceive the Bridegroom is away- Mark 2:19). If you don't understand you're one with God, study seeking to understand that you are approved.

"Study to show thyself approved unto God..." II Tim. 2:15

I believe God desires obedience to His heart rather than perform:ance based acceptance (PBA). PBA offers performance as the sacrifice. One could be obedient to the letter yet not the Spirit. True obedience to His heart is death to self.

"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends". Jn 15:13

How can we be obedient, following Christ, even to death? Simply believe; open the gift of Grace. If we believe HIM, by default, we'll no longer believe in ourselves and/or each other. Our honor to His heart dis-honors (dis-respects) the systems of men. God is not a respecter of persons; meaning, your best or worst does not impress or turn Him. The un-renewed mind would attempt to "teach" honor, missing that "honor" is a supernatural quality of someone walking in love. Either someone is walking in love our they're not. Anyone walking in love will honor others, because it's nature produces honor.

Yeshua (Jesus) encountered during His 33 years the same thing you and I encounter, as sons of God. The wisdom of the world honors systems and performance rather than Grace. We're born in a body running something like a computer program, falsely believing salvation would come a certain way.

I've been thinking lately about how SOCIETY influences, and how we give honor and respect where God does not.

Society:
  1. the aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community.
  2. an organization or club formed for a particular purpose or activity.

There is a big difference in illumination coming FROM society versus THROUGH society. To the religious mind, it's dishonoring not to honor what they deem important. He actually disrespected them by respecting Truth; they were offended. Are you bold enough to honor each other and yet not stand in agreement that their system will bring salvation. They believe it will. Are you gonna agree with them or Still wanna follow Him?

waterglassAs an example of what I'm hoping to communicate, by honoring the water in a cup, we bring honor to the cup. To the cup, this is dis-honor because it seeks glory for itself. Drinking a cup of water doesn't mean we drink ONLY from cups. No vessel should be worshiped, but when you want to drink water without refilling you'll drink from a river.

With love comes a sober mind, an understanding of what is worthy of honor/respect. Therefore, we also discern between what is perishing. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways (1 Cor 13:11). With a sober mind YOU see face to face, YOU know fully, even as YOU have been fully known (by Spirit). Love discerns all things.

On a personal note, I get in more trouble because of disrespecting what others respect. What can I say? I'm my Father's son.

In Him, David

End of part one. In the second part we'll discuss this teaching and how it connects to overcoming the gates of hell.

Roundtable Discussion on Greater Works than Jesus Part 2

August 28, 2014 By David Roberts

No sooner than I'd finished Part 1, we thought we should go ahead and include a followup. We have a part 3 in our heart but it may or may not make it to the web. Just to give you the point, just imagine what a city would look like if several people took this seriously? I see an army of God's people rising out of the Earth. I see this army as an army on horseback, a cavalry, if you will. He's leading the charge now!

Roundtable Discussion on Greater Works than Jesus Part 1

August 28, 2014 By David Roberts

Recently, I was thinking about a verse found in the Bible.  Jesus, speaking to the disciples tells them that they would do greater works than Him (John 14:12).  I think this would make a great discussion, should anyone want to post their thought.  I'll start the ball off by sharing a short video of my thought, including a followup video.

Will Love Free Anyone?

August 5, 2014 By David Roberts

VideoFeatured001804b2014512x286The Ebola virus is very serious stuff and should be given a lot of attention. My real question is why we don't we use the antidote to fear? We have it, or at least we talk about it enough...

The only antidote to living in fear is unconditional love.  It will cause a shift, shaking everything we thought we knew.  I don't suppose I have full understanding of this but I have enough to want the rejects that are being thrown away.  I now know how the captives are set free, cause I'm one of them.  Unconditional love sets whoever you come in contact with, FREE.  Hey, don't rush to judgement about what being set free looks like.

Well, how does it look then?  I'm glad you asked (lol)... During an encounter with someone, there are invisible strings being pulled in a hierarchical fashion.  Every human has them.  You've (your ego has) sharpened the skill since the day you were conceived in flesh.  From that moment, human reasoning began to learn risk and reward, in order to ultimately manipulate situations.  When one party in a relationship doesn't 'bite' on pulling back on these invisible strings, that party is either accepting or rejecting without regard to condition.  Love accepts the other without regard to condition.  When you LOVE, it sends a flash of illumination to whomever you are connecting.  This LOVE actually illuminates their soul.  It gets their attention because your response is totally not based on the same principals they've honed.  In this instance, they are "free".  Whether they resume feeding from the same methods that have gotten them this far isn't the question, but at this moment, they have "seen" God.  They have seen love in another form, you.  They may not recognize it, but it's God all the same.

Even though you may not understand, I'm not going to continue giving examples to prove a point.  I just want to ask, " What set you free?  Was it the law of sin and death or because you believed?"
