That’s What It’s All About

February 1, 2017 By David Roberts Leave a Comment

It may seem obvious to you but the reason we have rules for operating motor vehicles is so everyone is on the same page while driving. Each state even has a Department of Motor Vehicles to oversee issuing motor vehicle titles, maintaining vehicle registration information and enforcing other statutes. Furthermore, there is another department we're all familiar, which is responsible for enforcing traffic laws. It wouldn't do if even 10% of drivers didn't know to drive on the right side of the road, stop at red lights, or to drive at or below safe speed limits. Can you imagine the mess it would make if we just left it up to the individual to drive any ole way?

"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Prov. 14:12.

My home is dark at night. When I'm awakened for whatever reason, I'm able to walk through the house without aid of any light. I've walked the paths so many times it's become second nature to me. When I'm approaching my refrigerator or a door frame, it's almost as if I could see them, even though it's dark. As I approach them, I place my hand out at exactly the right place and exactly the right time. It's as if my eyes have those boundary markers burned in my mind. My only surprise would be if God or someone moved my refrigerator the night before. It takes illumination to see beyond what you're accustom to doing so that's why it's important to be contemplative about the message of Jesus Christ. If it's just a story we're telling, without changing us, then we may be walking these trails out of memory rather than His Light.

Have you ever been in a group, planning an activity, where everyone is spit-balling ideas? Someone, with great enthusiasm (or possibly frustration) adds this small qualifier to their statement, "That's what it's all about" (or “that's the point” or something similar)? They say what they're gonna say but in an effort to rally support, they add, "That's what it's all about". When we say "that's what it's all about" we often really mean "that's what it's all about according to the way I see it now". It's not a negative thing to acknowledge how you're seeing it, but when we project our illumination onto others, we've moved away from Love.

Human nature assumes it's right to apply the "Rules of the Road" strategy to every area of life, but if we did, we'd quickly discover why this can't be healthy. In life, there is always opportunity to learn and grow, so if we're always quick to say, "That's what it's all about" we won't move beyond the walls we're defining. Maybe you do know what it's all about; so what. If our relationships with God and each other used the "Rules of the Road" strategy we could hardly claim we loved each other. Love doesn't try to shove people in man-made systems.

"... present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:1,2

Maturing as a son of God is simply maturing in His Love, which is the spirit of what Paul is describing in Romans 12. By being willing participants, you'll find you are being formed in Christ's image, right in your unique self.

Another place we find these common phrases is in pulpits. You could be a great natural leader, able to get people to build anything for you, but if their hearts aren't being changed, what have you done? Kingdom leaders are looking at the inner man, not concentrating on what's seen, except to use as the example to reveal what's not seen. Since I was first baptized in His Spirit, it stood out to me, the early church in Acts had ALL THINGS in common. The "consequence" was their possessions but “the reason” was their hearts were individually turned toward God's.

"That's what it's all about". When talking about the “Rules of the Road” then it's simple to answer but when speaking of what you've got in mind when you're facing life, be aware of your inner posture, to see if you're navigating by memory or if the Light is on. You're safe with God but since He's everywhere then you're free to leave the comfort of your worn paths. The comfort of His presence is far more great anyway.

Having understanding is what I'm hoping to impart to you today but it begins with being teachable. If we always know everything we can't learn. Don't think I'm saying we shouldn't work off a premise. We must have a premise in order to operate, but when we approach God, allowing Him to change our premise, we are much more happy and less ridged toward others.

When we're in a conversation with others, perceiving our way of seeing things is the only way of seeing them, we've effectively told everyone else that they are wrong. Of course, you can't go around not believing what you're saying but you can go through life willing to learn. The next time you hear or wanna say, "That's what it's all about", consider what you're saying and don't try to make your perception the center of everyones universe. Seek God's perception and have fellowship with it. If you're experiencing frustration, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there's 100% chance your struggle is a result of trying to enter a room you're already in. Please re-read that... and rejoice! All the stress we put ourselves through makes us like a wind-up toy, constantly needing attention and being rewound.

Because both 'you' and 'the world' are the center of His attention, there is sufficient Grace to carry you. The more you become aware of the intimacy of Christ coming in your flesh, you'll discover you were already safely in the room with Him, seeing for yourself how you're known to God. The issue was never outside you, as if someone stole your wallet. It was always a matter of faith in Christ/Spirit. Therefore, growing in acceptance of this truth releases the benefits of His performance on the cross in and through you. His performance was either all sufficient or not, which should leave you with Faith, Hope and Love, so have Faith in His Love.

About Love, Love is one thing you can safely say, "That's what it's all about" or "That's the main point". You'll never go wrong with Love but don't assume you can't grow more in Love. Our reality should be God's Love and life in the larger possibility of God's perspective.

Bullets in the Church

November 1, 2016 By David Roberts Leave a Comment

Throwing Bible verses at people is much like throwing bullets at an intruder. Bullets are powerful, but only when you have a matching gun can the bullet be directed with pinpoint accuracy.

If I were to show you a bullet, most everyone would recognize it, but we may not realize what all makes up a bullet. For instance, a bullet that has been fired leaves behind a shell casing. The shell casing is very important to housing the bullet. ALL the power is within the casing. The casing alone has no power but in proper order, you wouldn't want to lackadaisically toss it in a campfire while roasting marshmallows. It's only when the casing is properly loaded, with the correct amount of gun powder (power) and placed in the proper setting that it offers predictable outcomes.

Let's look at a 45 caliber bullet; they require a 45 caliber bore to be effective.

I'm gonna jump from bullets, guns and ammo to the idea of receiving Christ. When we 'receive' Christ, believing that was the end would be ludicrous. The Bullet is powerful but if you are NOT formed to carry and deliver The Bullet, then you're of no use to the owner of the gun. The frame is important because it houses the barrel and trigger mechanism, but it can come in all sorts of sizes, shapes and colors. The thing that's consistent in frames is their unique bore sizes and presence of rifling.

  • Bore size is is the approximate diameter of the barrel or the bullet it fires. It's measured in tenths or even hundredths of an inch. The example above is a 45 caliber, so it measures .45 inches in width.
  • Rifling is grooves machined into the barrel, which are spiraled. Rifling is often described by its twist rate, which indicates the distance the rifling takes to complete one full revolution, such as "1 turn in 10 inches" (1:10 inches). The rate of turn (twist) indicates how fast the bullet will rotate upon exit.

You can imagine if a bullet were made of hardened steel, it would resist the syncing of itself to the twisting rate of the barrel riffling (grooves). The bullet, as it goes out the barrel, is uniquely marked as coming from 'this' barrel; as it spins, IN SYNC with the barrel.

Religion that isn't pure focuses on everything except Christ being formed in you. Those who are spiritual understand that in life we will be disappointed but quickly seek to understand and embrace this 'forming', which is transforming the way they think and setting us 'in sync' with Creator God.

We definitely need a frame, just like a river needs banks, but the frame is only a tool to carry and deliver what it was created to do. Don't fall in love so much with your idea of what life is supposed to look like. Trust that God has His hand guiding you, shaping you, to be. When we can just be then you are in the place of still, where we know God, surpassing everything our imaginations could have ever dreamed. Before you know it, you'll have His markings that identify you as His.

The Church is The Gun, sending saints into the Kingdom, with His unique markings.

Bullets are powerful, but only when they match the gun can they be directed with pinpoint accuracy. We can have all the right goals, but if we aren't fired from the right vehicle (sending agent- gun- proper order in the Church) we'll end up shipwrecked, with only hope for a future help. Future help is awesome, but it is 'present help' our souls long for... and it's 'present help' the world groans for. At some point we need to ask ourselves why we are here. As our minds are changed, we'll discover we are here for the world. The changing of our minds transforms us. Let's lay our agenda down and allow Him to shape us as He fires us into the world, using the Gun He created.

I hope you'll engage in conversation by commenting below. Share what Spirit speaks to you.

Exploring Motivations of the Heart

September 1, 2016 By David Roberts Leave a Comment

startAmidst all the struggles 'life' seems to present, there is a longing in every person to 'solve' present problems/situations. No matter the problem, our pre-programmed software package outputs the answer:

  • If drowning, if at all possible, we attempt to swim to the top
  • If we feel unsafe, we lock our doors
  • If we're cold, we put on a sweater or turn up the heat
  • If we need money, we get a job (or rob a bank- hopefully not!)
  • If we're caught in the rain, we seek shelter
  • If we're lonely, we join a social group
  • If isolated, we seek intimacy
  • If we feel undervalued, we seek a pat on the back
  • If feeling unfulfilled we'll get another degree and possibly move to a new neighborhood

The above list is simply representative of solving problems, as we move through life; there's nothing dysfunctional about being human. There seems no end to examples like these, but the truth is, there is an end. 'This end' is what's on my mind most of the time. I've discovered that in order to help people find the beginning they are longing, they must be willing to experience the end. I don't simply want to tell you about it. I deeply desire you experience it. He can be seen clearly in all creation and human psychology is part of 'all creation'.

I sat with a friend recently who is struggling with a lot of things. His marriage, according to him, is over. For several years he's struggled emotionally. It's difficult for anyone to really get to know him. I may be the only person he actually opens up with. He can tell me in great detail about dreams, where God visits him, telling him that he's acceptable. But, when he describes his wife, his fear creates a disconnect, disabling him from seeing/accepting her the same way. I'm heartbroken at how close he is and yet rejoice that my job isn't to fix him, it's to love him. I guess I'm just different. I'm drawn to men like this. My wife once said I need more 'normal' friends but I'm just looking for broken vessels, people who worldly logic discards as rejects. Besides, I once heard 'normal' was just a setting on a dryer. 'Normal' needs to be redefined into a powerful example of what living sons look like (that's the kind of normal that moves me).

No one can know exactly how another feels or what others are going through. What you're going through is unique to you, yet all struggle has within it a common thread, connection to taste death. Spirit teaches us by allowing us to 'taste death', not so we're swallowed by it's darkness. Tasting death is powerful and necessary because you discover you can eat it. You discover you're not disconnected from God and have power over it, with Him. Death, where is your sting?

A few years ago I was moving into my new shop on our farm. While moving, I loaded my open trailer for the 25 minute journey, only to discover upon arrival my expensive, heavy mill, black plastic sheeting had bounced off during travel. I was sad. It felt odd being sad at this, so I turned my attention toward God. I was actually mourning a roll of plastic. I felt odd, almost ashamed, as I inquired. God spoke to me a great revelation about mourning. Mourning is critical for humanity to emote and it's critical that we're absolutely honest (transparent with our inner self). We can't just pretend we're okay if we're not and we can't just stick our finger in a Bible and quote scriptures. The world is full of people who tell you all about God but aren't actually taking the medicine. Heck, for that matter, so are the pulpits. I'm looking for someone who's bold enough to approach Him as they are. When it gets down to it, that's the way you gotta come, just as you are. No amount of lipstick is gonna change a thing. It's just you and God's love for you. Out of this simple, ever-reproducing encounter, we know ourselves as we are known; and that's why you should continue reading...

Protestants recently celebrated Easter, the time of The Resurrection and Life:

  • Resurrection? Churches are packed on Resurrection Sunday. We all wanna hear that because of Jesus we're alive!!! Actually, control is what we (humanity) loves and wants to hear about. That's why the masses only wanna hear about the goodies but never press in enough to actually experience them personally.
  • There is an underlying energy motivating flesh, even from birth. Whether to save self or not, all flesh comes pre-programmed, wired into connectivity with the earth. Flesh instinctively swims to the top of the water if drowning... so, we can conclude, flesh is only interested in saving self. What it's actually interested in is calling the shots. When The Resurrection is presented in proper context, ascension cannot be done without descending. Making it to the top of the water for the drowning person is absolutely important but it's never the main event.
  • For humans, our methods are ineffective at touching Eternity. We just never understood it (Eternity) was hidden in our hearts. It's illogical to die to live, so we pass over this option; it appears unable to provide what we're longing. The Resurrection must be presented in the proper pattern: Jesus could not rise until He first descended.
  • Life? Now, that will sell! Or, will it? We have lots of buyers wanting Life! But, once we shine the light on the fact we can't have resurrection without being dead first, we lose our audience. Peddling death won't make you popular. In fact, you may even be unrecognizable, marred and without reputation.
  • Some years ago, I obtained an 800 number and opened a suicide help line. I wasn't there to talk people out of suicide. I desire people embrace 'dying right'. If I can teach you how to 'die right', you'll know how to live instinctively. You'll discover Treasure hidden inside you. In this state you'll no longer grasp for life, you'll understand you're one with The Life.

Are we asking others to walk in revelation they haven't yet received? Do we get disappointed in the way they handle affairs because they handle issues differently? Now, that's messed up!

The message of the gospel is not asking for forgiveness of your sins; it's learning that your Sin WAS ALREADY forgiven (from human perspective). Accepting there is no offense between yourself and God is the only way to accept Truth. The Good News is NEWS! The only responses are: 'to believe' or 'to not believe'. Believing causes those bound in fear to break free; instantly experiencing new life as citizens of heaven, even while on Earth.

I began writing by describing how our human programming is predictable in a hierarchy of needs. I began with foundational needs of life and death situations, and worked down the list. For years, I guess I believed being human was a sin, that being human was an enemy of Spirit; but, somewhere along the way I began to see things differently. It was looking through the eyes of Grace that allowed me to embrace my humanness was not God's enemy. My humanness is the earthen vessel where the Treasure lives! My humanness is His humanness. And, so is your humanity.

Each of us have a deep desire to be accepted. Said another way, "we need love". It just so happens that God is Love so that works out pretty well. Love has not, will not, and cannot fail. Love doesn't mean you'll get your way or guarantee you won't be present in a terrorist attack. The Good News is only good news because it's a done deal, even before you knew He existed. It's news, not an invitation. You don't have to ask God to forgive you; BELIEVE that you were forgiven, because you are.

Human motivations to our actions are born out of either; (a)climbing a ladder to become something, or (b)an understanding of what 'is' already. This isn't to say that self-discovery of your identity will not continue as you're transformed but honest motivation chooses because of who you are, not who you hope to be one day. (Example: A faithful husband doesn't step out on his wife because he's afraid of getting caught. He's faithful because of who he is.)

Spiritual maturity comes through the daily process of accepting there is no separation between yourself and God. Offenses are used to identify areas of needed growth.

Finally, the struggles 'life' seems to present are not haphazard. They're Spirit teaching you. What you're really experiencing is THE LIFE, Him. We don't have to move away from trouble every time it appears. Sit, study it, and meditate on what God may be saying through your everyday life.

I hope you'll engage in conversation by commenting below. Share what Spirit speaks to you.

In Rest,
David

Submission to Authority

September 22, 2015 By David Roberts

Part of our ineffectiveness in today's Church (intended to bring attention so we can fix it, not to bash) is so many of us are out of position. People lead themselves, believing it's okay to merrily bounce from one place to the next, taste-testing wine from every table. We do all this without being sent, usually because the church down the street has a better "you fill in the blank". We all know there is nothing wrong with paving our parking lots, having a nursery or having the best youth department in town, but I think we could all agree those things are added conveniences.

The Alzheimer's Foundation of America defines dementia this way: Dementia is a general term that describes a group of symptoms-such as loss of memory, judgment, language, complex motor skills, and other intellectual function-caused by the permanent damage or death of the brain's nerve cells, or neurons. -In the past, I've described our human condition as having an identity crisis. We haven't had our identity stolen, that would be impossible. You are who you are, even if you don't know it. Either building on or drilling deeper, I do not know, it is most likely our disconnect from our spiritual head that could be diagnosed as spiritual dementia.

Fueling "our" dementia is a belief rooted in the assumption God was created in our image rather than we in His. We transfer that to assuming our spiritual authority  should appear in our image. We say with our mouths "we submit" but in our hearts it's only to the point that we're familiar. Some insist spiritual authority on Earth must have a meeting on Sunday. Some say, "no building at all". And some say, "no meeting at all". Whatever your flavor, we've created a Jesus that can meet the perception of your need. I realize this sounds a little cynical but if we're ever to receive healing and then wholeness, we need to know "from what" we're being healed. Your greatest enemy may be your failure to rest in God. In your defense, you can't do it before He leads but it's the disconnect from the Head that I'm addressing, not the action of "faith" or "lack of faith". What we often call "faith" is really our  present "trusting God", which we treat as if it's the standard. In reality, the standard is really to eat from the Tree of Life so we start out deceived making it impossible to "hit the mark".

Drinking from many fountains causes our purpose to become confused and diluted. Our hearing becomes dull when we search everything we can find, to make what we call our gift manifest in the Earth. When we see ourselves as our gift, we are lost; maybe we have salvation for a future heaven but we're unable to bring the reality of heaven into our world. We're caught in the in between. It's in this state we exhibit symptoms of spiritual dementia (loss of memory, judgment, language, complex motor skills, and other intellectual function-caused by the permanent damage or death of the brain's nerve cells, or neurons).  Of course, we know nothing is wrong with The Head. It's just that the body is disconnected from Him, simply by trying to find Him. He was right there, but many leave in search of an already present God. He takes us to a situation to teach us, but our itching ears and sweet tooth lead instead. It's in this mindset that we are seeking to discover who we are. We are drawn to support those who give us purpose in the natural, which isn't all bad. It's when we seek this for validation and identity that we eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. As long as this is our mindset we'll never be able to experience real circumcision. We give others what we are drinking; it's the same convoluted mixture we drink and we think we're doing well.

Occasionally, I'm misunderstood so I should clarify that I see diversity as our strength. I'm not saying we shouldn't connect with others, or learn from each other. God reveals Himself anyway He chooses. I'm just sharing from an apostle's viewpoint where that is. What's important to understand in each of us, we carry light (lamp or lamp-stand). Just like you, we are each responsible for tending that light. I use a lower case "l" when spelling light because as long as we're tending it, we aren't there yet. Where's there? You'll have to read further to learn a little about the third dimension or seventh day, but when we're in alignment with His Kingdom in Heaven, we'll mirror it on Earth. In short, "there", is walking behind the veil, where He provides the Light.

His Kingdom has come but our body is learning what this looks like on Earth. I don't suppose to tell you what your specific ministry should look like. I can only say that you were fearfully and wonderfully made in His image.  Borrowing a little light from many takes their revelation and treats it with dishonor. It also makes your life a mess because you don't have the authority to speak their revelation, as if you carried their light. What happens is that you quote them and place it in the context of your life, but they were given that light for an entirely different purpose; one that's very personal between God and them. They lost more than we can possibly imagine to have their revelation trampled on. The bottom line is that tending everyone's lamp-stand will wear you out. Let's talk about spiritual authority and submission, for a moment. As it concerns leadership in His body; someone speaks and your baby leaps because they carry the same light. That's how you know where you are being joined into His body. If this happens to you, then God may be showing you who you should be submitting. No baby has three fathers so this connection is very important to discern where God has placed you in the body. Many are sick because they don't allow their afraid to have their hearts circumcised. I understand what you may be thinking; it's scary. When we buy into having more than one father, we set ourselves up for a harder road than is really required.

You have a lamp-stand, and in one sense, you are that lamp-stand. Just like Jesus went to sit at the right hand of the Father and is preparing a place for you, maybe we should consider that the place He is preparing, "is you". In His House there are many mansions. The things you are going through is your mansion being restored. You shouldn't hear any negativity in this article because you are one of His mansions and His desire is to take residence and live in you; not just in you but through you. If you submit to spiritual authority, it is in the context of helping guide you to trust Him. You should never allow anyone to control your life, except if someone steals your coat, then maybe you can give them your sweater too. If God's called you, His Word is in you, so simply by falling to the ground in surrender His authority, you will "grow" just like any other seed. Jesus taught that the children of God are His seed. As you desire to sow His Word in others you were designed to manifest His Word and be sown in the Earth. The idea that God is distant is a world view and not anything like reality. God didn't touch you so that you could save your life by what makes human sense. He touched you so you could become a son and receive your inheritance.

It's a super-natural resurrection that happens. Jesus said He came to make war and not peace. There is nothing nice or pleasant about taking authority over your own flesh, but only you can do it as He leads. The ways that 'seem' right are to take in as much information as needed to reach a logical conclusion, but God was already perfect Logic. He makes perfect sense if you have eyes to see. He connected you to Him and has connected you in His body. The pain of much of life's struggles are Him uncovering what was done in the open. That's right; it was done in the open, not in a corner. Our salvation is plain to see and He desires much more that you go along with Him than you could ever chase after Him. Since we are so use to hiding and doing things in secret, we're a little slow on this, but never to worry, He's been on our side the whole time and demands we not glory in our own flesh and this is one of the primary reasons He places spiritual authority in your life. We travail in pain to see Christ be formed in you.

It does no good to bare burdens He already bore and He receives no honor or glory when we fail to receive what He died and resurrected to give. When we feed others with this same cup, Jesus said you're making them twice a son of hell as you.  The act of submission is not only necessary to learn; it's fundamental to how authority functions on Earth and in Heaven. So many have a great desire to teach and that's wonderful, but if no one is asking questions of you, or bowing at the anointing in you (2Kings2:15), they aren't ready to hear. What you probably need is to wait until you are sent. But, if you're bound and determined to plow ahead, if they aren't buying what you're selling, stop talking and listen. Listen until their heart softens so they can receive. In that environment, it's impossible to learn unless Someone has to submit to your authority or your wasting your time trying to teach. It's much more wise trying to love them to repentance until their hearts are soft and pliable enough to teach, than to take authority over someone other than own life. That's just wrong.

As it stands now, those carrying the label of Christian look like drunk fools to the world. Out of our mouths come a message of forgiveness but many of our homes are a wreck. The church's divorce rate is higher than the world and hotels bid for denominational leadership conventions so they can sell more porn. Humans love to worship "form" so it's not an easy path to follow Christ.

I want to leave you with one final thought about what it looks like dancing from table to table drinking any wine that's served. This is more that a thought; it's a reality of not submitting to the authority God places in your life. There was a chief priest in Acts 9 that tried to do miracles in the name of the Jesus that Paul preaches. The demon replied that Jesus he knew and Paul he knew but who are you? I don't see it as conferring with flesh and blood but wouldn't the best baseball players submit to their coach for training and game day? Even Paul went and submitted his gospel to Peter, James and John. He wrote that he submitted to them in private because he was fearful that he might be running, or had run, in vain. Arrogance and pride are not compatible with teaching; and submitting to spiritual authority is very different than submitting one to another in brotherly love.

In Him, David

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?

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".

Pre-Conceived Ideas- How can they be the cause of storms?

August 4, 2014 By David Roberts

VideoFeatured0018042014512x286PRE-CONCEIVED ideas are the cause of many of life's storms.  When the purity of approaching 'what's next' as a child, meets the fear of the future (past or present), the two opposing fronts meet.  You might say, it's a double-minded reality and is the cause of much of my (and your) anguish.

This 'plays out' in several different ways (here are a few):

  • To some, they become addicted to the constant storms; they love the dysfunction of being in what they perceive the front lines.
  • To some, fear causes them to go around all trouble, which does nothing more than cause them to live life circling the same issues over and over.  The mountains then become their gods and their compass.
  • For others, they see the storm for what it is; they hear God's small, still voice, encouraging them to let go of whatever is covering their eyes.  To these sons of God, they manifest His purpose in the Earth.

It's never too late to offer your pre-conceived ideas up to the fire so you too can be free.
