"If That Isn't Love!"

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, 
(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten 
of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
(John 1:14)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a Word from the Lord:

"You do not understand My love," says the Lord. 

 "You cannot fathom the love I have for whom I formed 

with My own hand, and molded into beloved man and 

woman. Love to you is a word and some emotions that

 fill your being, but to Me, it is the culmination of 

thousands of years of My loneliness for someone to

 partake of the beauty that flows from My mind into 

everything I touch and create, from the universe, to the 

earth, to My own created man and woman. Do you not 

know that I would die for you again, that I would bleed

 for you again, that I would be beaten for you again? 

 All that I gave of Myself was the intricacies of Love; it 

was the splash of infinite blood for a creation that knows 

not what is waiting for them. No, my beloved ones; You

 do not understand My Love, and You will not comprehend 

it, nor know it in its fullness, until you see Me face to face. 

 When you look into My eyes, you will eternally 

know LOVE." Says the Lord of Hosts.

"Anointed"

"Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, 

hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows."

(Hebrews 1:9)

"Be it unto me" are words of those who desire the anointing to

carry the Word to fulfillment and to birth

It's the Spirit of the Lord overshadowing His called and it dwells in

 their souls like glistening pearls of great worth

They are those who feel an "unction" deep in their beings and

 they're separate from the world in their hearts

No one can explain it; it's the hand of the Holy One upon the heads

 of His beloved; some chosen from the start

They're awake when all others sleep, and they abide at His feet in

 anticipation of His orders and strange requests 

They are Eagles who fly and soar, buoyed up by God's breath to

 heights high above the trees and the nests

Their faces have a lonely gaze, a prophetic stare that seems to be

 beyond earth and into high realms somewhere

It's the destiny born in their souls from The Creator and it's with

 them day and night, handling them with care

The road is lonely, even with people all around, because they live 

 in the auspices of glory and portals of auras

Their far off daze is not fraught with blankness; it's swimming in

 deep waters for lost souls, and weeping for us

The mountains call to them to scale higher and wait on the misty

 crag for Words from the Master, in due time

They are used to the bow of obeisance as routine as the days, while

 they venture the trails and ascend with a climb

Visionaries, they are, living way beyond their years into odd time

zones of prophetic vistas and holy secrets untold

Don't interrupt their oft stares, for you'll get a look of dismay, 

because they love the dimensions yet to behold

Often, they sound like they're in another world, and truly they are;

they stroll with omnipotence as a welcome routine 

Their feet upon the ground and their spirits in earth's space are

 rare to be seen, and they are few and far between

Earth is not their home; they cruise in domains with the Son, and

 their thoughts are likened to the mind of Christ

Give them space for their dreaming, an altar for their scheming,  

and silence for their visions will suffice 

You'll reap for your giving, for they'll come forth with new breath

 for new sounding chords of a new heart's song

It will be the sound of prophetic nuances for others who feel the

 call and will take up the mantle and come along

Don't mess with their dreams for they're the essence of their

 being; they walk as the assigned and appointed

Oh, it's something to see when we look upon those "oily" ones;

 they're not of this world; they're "Anointed."

"Drop The Stones!"

"Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they 

know not what they do. And they parted

 his raiment, and cast lots."

(Luke 23:34)

It's something we're not good at; we humans say, "I forgive you, or I forgive them;" then, one day we remember again, or satan brings it to our minds, and it rises up in us all over again.  So, what can we do?  We do what Jesus Christ did, we say, "Father forgive them" for me!  Why didn't Jesus just look down on His torturers and say, "I forgive you?"  He was not yet risen; in His flesh, He did the only thing He could do, He said, "Father, forgive them," and when we, within ourselves can't seem to get our healing, can't seem to get the victory, we need to fall back on The Word, and remember that our Lord does what we cannot do, and we pray and say with sincere hearts exactly what our Lord Jesus Christ said, and then we are released to receive from our Lord, when all unforgiveness is erased!

"Be not overcome of evil, 

but overcome evil with good."

(Romans 12:21)

She was caught in the very act of adultery, and they were ready to stone her, but Jesus Christ knelt down and began to write on the ground.  What was he writing?  He was writing the sins of those holding the stones, and suddenly they were moved to do what they had never done before in this situation  ...  they were shown their own guilt, their own sins, and so they could do nothing else but "Drop The Stones!"

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.  After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”  Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”  Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test."

           

The devil knows the Word of God!  It's imperative that we, Christians, know the Word of God.  How else will we be able to "overcome evil with good," if we do not know the GOOD?  The "Good" is the Word of God, which we must hide in our hearts that we might not sin against Him, Jesus Christ our Lord. We overcome evil by the Name of Jesus, the Word of Jesus, and the Blood of Jesus.  The Bible gives us instructions "from Romans to Jude" about how to overcome evil with good.  The Holy fire of the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and the Word within us will guide us to know when we are being tempted, to know when it's not Almighty God speaking to us, to know how to rebuke satan and resist him, to overcome evil with good.  

All have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and if we have been forgiven of our sins, how can we not forgive others?  It's time to "drop the stones."  You say, "But you don't know what he did, or she did."  How do you know he or she has not repented of what they did?  If they asked the Lord to forgive them, He did.  If we carry around unforgiveness in our hearts, it hurts us, not them.  You say, "But what if they didn't repent?"  We are still admonished to forgive, to leave our gift at the altar and go and make it right if someone has something against us.  It's tough, this life of Christianity; it's not easy standing for what is right when the whole world is parading Sin in the streets; it's hard to pray for someone and bless them when they have despitefully used you; it's a difficult command to forgive seventy times seven  ... 

Hey, if we're gonna' walk the walk, we've gotta' talk the talk; if we're "Goin' up Yonder," we've gotta' secure our ticket; if we have faith, we've gotta' learn the song "Hallelujah Anyhow;" if we're gonna' be like Jesus, we've gotta' become a "Willow In The Wind;" if we've experienced His power, we know "He IS Jehovah;" if we've learned anything at all, we know "Our Arms Are Too Short To Box With God;" if we're legitimate soldiers, we'll "Sing the Sermon, Preach the Song;" if we've got any umph in the Holy Ghost, we'll shout "Everybody Get Up;" and if we've lived through some trials, we know "There's A Little Bit 'O' Mornin' Outside!" 

What's this all about?  It's about "overcoming evil with good," giving asking nothing in return, being kind when it's not deserved, forgiving when the grudge is strong, speaking the Word to defeat the enemy in his plot of destruction, walkin' in the light when darkness surrounds, warring in the Spirit when sleep calls our names, standing in the gap and holding up the arms of those with "beautiful feet"  ...  and learning to "Drop The Stones!"

"Jubilee!"

"You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my

 sackcloth and clothed me with joy."

(Psalm 30:11)

~ MAKE A PARTY OUT OF PAIN ~  

MAKE A RAINBOW OUT OF RAIN!

(Pastor Kenneth Phillips)

Only the Lord can do it; only the omnipotent One can delete pain and replace it with Joy; only the Holy One of Israel can turn the tears into laughter and dancing.  Life's seasons have reached the apex of glee in the portals of long fought wars, so it's TIME now to put off the ashes and be clothed with beauty; it's TIME to "Dance in the Spirit, Children, Dance!"

"Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises

 unto him with the timbrel and harp."

(Psalm 149:3)

Can you feel it?  Do you sense the change in wind direction?  Do you see the oasis in the distance?  Are the fresh scents of new falling rain wafting through your nostrils?  Do you feel the heaviness of battle dropping from your shoulders?  "What is it?" you ask.  It's the "season" of dancing, the time of answered prayer, the tears are being wiped away and the harshness of bitter waters has been turned to refreshing springs.  Spring up, O well!  You say, "I don't feel it."  Step in  ...  enter in  ...  the door to this season is Worship, Dancing, Rejoicing, Praising  ...  with all of the heart, soul, mind and strength  ...  Then, you will be carried away in the thrill of His Spirit, the peace of His essence, and the Joy of His love.  "Make a rainbow out of rain," says Pastor Kenneth Phillips.  Attitude determines our altitude!

Come forth from the darkness into the light!  A new day has dawned for the Church of the living God!  Power, strength, glory, miracles, signs, wonders, and answers are here!  The years of prayers, the rivers of tears, the bowed knees of surrender, the holy consecration of obedience, the sleepless nights, the weeping between the porch and the altar, the cries in the valley, the wandering in the desert, the loneliness by the brook  ...  have all built a ladder that we have climbed to reach the cleft of the "Rock" and we have met Him face to face!  The lover of our souls has been waiting at the acme of depth, standing on the precipice of height, in the secrets of illumination  ...  anticipating our arrival.  Huh?  We have entered into the Glory of the Lord, a place of His presence, a cloud enveloping creation by its Creator, a place reserved for the galloping horses of the end time revival and Spirit outpouring, a triumphant victorious place of beauty such as we have never known!  It's a place likened to Moses' place of receiving the commandments; it's a place where glory dwells!
