"He Got Up!"

"If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are

of all men most miserable.  But now is Christ risen

from the dead  ... even so in Christ shall all be made alive."

(I Corinthians 15:19,20,22)

Jesus Christ IS ALIVE!  He arose the third day as He 

said He would; and mankind was redeemed 

From the whipping post to the cross, to the tomb, but it 

was not over as it seemed

The tomb was now empty, and the stone was rolled away; there

is no more pain; only the scars remain

The cross didn't defeat Him; the tomb didn't hold Him; death

didn't conquer Him; the universe is His domain

Hell trembled when He burst through the door; the keys 

were in His hand, and He was THE Man!

Defeat was swallowed up in victory by the One who reigns

over all; it was an immortal plan

"Is it really true?" you ask.  The Lord Jesus Christ appeared

to many after He arose; it's true

And, by the outpouring of His Spirit, after He ascended to 

the throne; the truth is confirmed anew

He IS the risen LORD, the God of creation, the Savior 

and the Comforter; He IS "I AM!"

He IS the Alpha and Omega, the Holy One of Israel, the 

Lion of Judah, and the risen Lamb

The world will never be the same, for Glory took the 

reins and Holiness is on the move

To reclaim Eden, bring earth to the altar, and rains of 

the Spirit, a power which satan doesn't approve

But, wail all you will satan, the world is not yours to 

plunder; it is the LORD'S footstool

Jesus Christ sits upon the circle of the earth, and His 

rising has shown you, satan, to be but a fool

The Lord Jesus Christ is alive forevermore; His majesty 

took reign, when He knelt and drank the cup

Then, the sin was obliterated by the blood, the cross, the

death, and when "He Got Up!"

"His Love"

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.

"Mercy Walked In"

"And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery;

and when they had set her in the midst,  ...  So when they continued asking him,

he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him

first cast a stone at her.  Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.  And they

which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one,

 beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman

 standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the

woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man

condemned thee?  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I

 condemn thee: go, and sin no more."

(John 8:3-11)

Jesus, writing on the ground

the sins of the people ready to

stone the woman taken in adultery

"Forgiveness" is one of the hardest things for anyone and everyone to master; the bottom line is: We all have need of it; that big thing called  forgiveness; we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God.  God saw good in this woman, when the people only saw her sin.  The people ready to throw the stones had to drop them, when Jesus began writing their own sins on the ground for everyone to see.  When we, ourselves, have been forgiven so much, why is it so hard for us to forgive others?  Is it pride; is it vengeance; do we somehow feel we have control when we hold on to hatred and grudges; does it accomplish anything when we refuse to forgive?  Oh yeah, it accomplishes something all right  ...  it hinders our relationship with God; it stops answered prayer; it can bring on disease (medical research has proven different diseases have a basis of guilt, unforgiveness, and other deep-seeded emotions), and it completely robs us of Joy.

We must forgive, because we have been, and forever are,"Forgiven."  We all were bad, born in sin and shapen in iniquity, but God saw the best in us.  Winning souls requires us to forgive others "before" we lead them to the cross  ...  to see their potential, to view them as blood-washed and buried in Jesus' name, before they ever get there.  The love of Jesus Christ shining through us to others is the impetus for soul-winning. 

  "You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else,

for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself,

because you who pass judgment do the same things."

(Romans 2:1)

Forgiving sets "us" free even more than the other person.  Huh?  There are times when we carry around bitterness, grudges, hatred, strife, and other treacherous emotions, when the other person is not even aware of it. So, who is it hurting?  You say, "You don't know what was done to me?"  Life has some really horrific things that happen to people, but the Lord didn't distinguish between small things and big things, between terror things and irksome things; He just said if we don't forgive others, He won't forgive us.

The Lord Jesus Christ forgives us, picks us up, carries us on, and loves us day by day; how much more should we forgive and love our brothers and sisters?  I didn't say it was easy, but it is surely required.  All we have to do is look at ourselves in the mirror, and we know that sometime in our lives we have hurt others; we have said or done things that require others to forgive us.  That's a hard thing to face, but if we could, we would all go back and do some things over; wouldn't we?  Age, trials, experiences, and growth in God give us knowledge that we wish we could have had when we were younger, or even just a few days ago  ...  What?  We're not perfect human beings, just "forgiven."  Repentance is a daily thing; as long as we abide in earth, we will hurt, be done wrong, gripe and receive gripes  ...  and "I'm sorry" is ever on our lips, isn't it?  Love IS having to say, "I'm sorry."  Those two little words could cure the whole world, could bring peace to Nations, could set governments straight, could heal a multitude of hearts  ... two "powerful" words  ...   

Are you having constant trouble in your life?  Do you battle with illnesses?  Do you seem to never get ahead, yet you are a Christian?  We have to face it  ... is there anyone we have not forgiven?  You say, "It was a parent, who is now deceased."  Go to the grave, or if that's not possible; kneel at an altar of God and speak it, "I forgive you, daddy, or mom, or whoever hurt you."  Jesus will hear it; you will hear yourself say it, and you will bring a release.  You say, "I just can't; you don't know; this was devastating to me."  Jesus knows, and if you ask Him for strength to do it, He will help you.  You may have to say it over and over; it may be a process, until you sense the release.  But, you will have a release if you do it.  A great heaviness will lift from you, when you forgive those who have hurt you.  It is a requirement of the Lord when we come to Him.  If we do not forgive others, He will not forgive us.  And, Jesus Christ is our example; what did He say about those who nailed Him to the cross, while He was yet hanging on the cross?  He said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

"Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "See, you are

well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."

(John 5:14)

You say, "Do these types of things really have anything to do with sickness?"  In the above scripture, the Lord had healed a man and later he saw him in the temple, and told him to stop sinning, or he could have worse trouble.  The Bible says if we know to do what is right and we do not do it, it is sin.  (James 4:17) Therefore, the Word says to forgive, and we know it says that, so if we don't do it, we are sinning.  It is the Lord's desire that we prosper and be in health, that we have hope and a future, that our ashes are turned into beauty, that we walk in the spirit and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, that we are blessed coming in and going out  ...  that we live in peace  ...  It's simple; OBEY the Lover of our souls; OBEY the Holy Bible; OBEY the commandments; OBEY and Live!

Let it go!  It's not worth losing your health, your wealth, your peace, your joy, and you will feel free as a bird.  It's tough to fly if our wings are broken  ...  Our wings are the principles of our faith, our obedience to the Word hidden in our hearts, and the armor that helps us stand and then succeed in war with the enemy.  If any part of that is failing, we have broken wings, so to speak.  Sin, in any way, shape or form, robs us of everything God has for us.  Come out of the dark dungeon and into the light; give it all up to Jesus; write letters, make calls, visit a grave, or just do something to let that person know you forgive them, even if they do not accept it  ...  you are released.  Then, come unto Jesus, and let Him brighten your world for the first time in a long time.  Do it, today  ...

We forgive for one main reason:

WE are forgiven; it happened when 
"Mercy Walked In"

"Fire Shut Up In Our Bones"

The Holy Bible, is my source of strength and the lifter of my head, so oft in fiery times.  It's the voice of my God, inked upon my soul, in words of wisdom written in their prime. O, David, you have colored my world with beauty, in words from your lonely pastures. They're plantings of joy in a searching soul, that reaches for the seeds of a Poet grafter.  And, your anointed verses calm the fears, with glorious images from the flaming pen of vision.  As you paint Almighty God in strokes of splendor, and the words of divine Holy precision.

I've hidden these treasures of "apples of gold in pictures 

of silver," within my hungry heart

And they stand guard for my soul and spirit, as a mighty

fortress and unyielding rampart

In dreams of night, the Word skips through the corridors

of my slumbered resting mind

And the whispers of My Lord bring light, to the orders 

that He so steadily assigns

It's life in the Spirit when the Word of God is known, and it's a power beyond measure, As might fills the soul with the Books of faith, the miracles, and Moses' divided Seas of azure.  Dear Lord, I trust You with my life; You've shown me the way, and I don't need a sign; For Your Word is my constant source of who You are, and what You want, glowing ever in my mind.  The time is nigh for rising higher to Your domain, as I yield to the constant Holy's of the Angels' refrain. This Holy Ghost that You've poured into my spirit is burning hotter and stronger with each passing day; it beckons me more to Your secret place, and gives me unctions from Your soul that I have to say.

But, in times like these, Your Word is a flame burning steady, in the recesses of a fighting spirit.  The enemy does not battle me; he battles You, O, Lord, and he has good reason to fear it.  For, You have never lost a war, Lord Jesus, and the line has been drawn, in the sands of time; To live in the Rapture generation, is the height of power from on high, as we endure the climb.  It's delving into Your Spirit with hunger to know; while You keep raising the bar for Your "dust" to grow. The times call for Holy consecration, tears, and prayer, such as we have never endured; but as we war toward to trumpet, we have Your Word, Your Blood, and Your Name, making us secure.

Your Word gives us impetus to love the lost, unify with one

another, and throw down our stones

We're Eagles with the Holy Ghost; we know You're coming, by the

Spirit, and the "Fire Shut Up In Our Bones."
