It's Just Waiting Now

2 Chronicles 30


Jerusalem of Judah is my sister. We live side by side in the same household, but half a world apart. Because her eyes are veiled, I must assume the role of the elder. I must lead her to the Father. She is proud, and bitterly hostile to my aid. I can do nothing to help her if she refuses, for she would never find her way to where the Father waits so patiently for her. So I wait, and prevail upon my spouse to intercede. Only He can heal and reconcile her. I do not have those skills of persuasion with which to make blind eyes see.

I must be removed from her sphere of influence, so she will awake from her sleep! To my sorrow, my presence enables her lack of vision, her refusal to comprehend. She will be even more angry for a while, that it is only I allowed in the Father's house, but she must be properly dressed, first, to be in the Father's presence. Those garments only come from the Father and take much humility to apprehend.

The Bride is identified as the one who expends much energy searching for her beloved, her groom. Her life is absorbed in Him. He lures her with His voice and His nearness, but she just misses Him! She begs every one else to find Him. Others grow sick of her passion, and abuse her for her devotion, but she must needs be unsatisfied until she is in His presence. Nothing can disturb her love for Him, or quench her affections!

Psalm 57

1 Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me,
for I take refuge in You. I will seek refuge in the shadow of Your wings
until danger passes.
2 I call to God Most High,
to God who fulfills His purpose for me.[b]
3 He reaches down from heaven and saves me,
challenging the one who tramples me.Selah
God sends His faithful love and truth.
4 I am surrounded by lions;
I lie down with those who devour men.
Their teeth are spears and arrows;
their tongues are sharp swords.
5 God, be exalted above the heavens,

let Your glory be over the whole earth.
6 They prepared a net for my steps;
I was despondent.
They dug a pit ahead of me,
but they fell into it!Selah

7 My heart is confident, God, my heart is confident.
I will sing; I will sing praises.
8 Wake up, my soul![c]
Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn.
9 I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the nations.
10 For Your faithful love is as high as the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
11 God, be exalted above the heavens;
let Your glory be over the whole earth.

Yesterday, I was dying. Abused and seemingly alone, the greedy darkness closed in on my feeble resistance. Yet with the dawn of the new day, the seed of God within me has resurrected me to join with Him, the burning Flame which is my life and my desire. Joy's exuberance is now my castle, gladly exulted in worship of my King!

I am lifted out of the midst of wickedness and despair. I depart from the valley of death's shadow. I leave the wilderness, in the crossing of the Jordan. As my flesh transforms into light, I step through the door in the veil. Such is the victory of the Lord's ressurection! 

The Bride's jubilee year was the last of the sixth millineum. Now she goes up into the promised land on the tenth day of the month, no longer an exodus, but an entering in, and a gathering together! On the tenth day of the month, our Lord entered Jerusalem, where He would be ressurected. She has her own tenth of the month, right after His, as she follows Him to Her own ressurection, the redemption of her body, just like her Lord!

For Those Who Don't Understand What Freedom Is

"He who says to his brother 'thou fool' shall be in danger of hellfire."

"The wrath of man does not accomplish the will of God."

"And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."

Have you ever been angry at another person? This furious response would be for when they very much do not meet our expectations, and our response is to seek to motivate them to do so. It feels so righteous. If you've experienced this, then you know how it feels to be offended. Being offended is a deal breaker in the context of love. You cannot love someone you are attempting to control. Love, instead, lets go.

Why do we seek to control? It's for our own benefit, of course, but the reality of it is, that it is WE who are controlled, by our own anger! "In your anger, do not sin." Yet, those who are unloving make their decisions from a foundation of negative emotions, when they attempt to force an outcome. "He who sins is a slave to sin." This psychosis is being mistaken for love.

Now, the freedom which is love, is a position of internal strength from which to give, forgive, and act upon. It is a state of mind unaffected by circumstance, and goes far above and beyond societal expectations. It's mirror image and companion is wisdom. Freedom has structure, boundaries, and "rules." If we stay within it's precepts, we will ascend into the heights in the train of the Most High, for freedom is the only base from which it becomes our 
very nature to do what is right, the very righteousness of God!

"If the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed!"

"Great peace have they which love thy law, and nothing shall offend them."
