Little Person sat by the river, meditating on what he just heard. Seeing the majesty of his God. He saw there was not a minute or a second that He has not planned out. There is nothing taking Him by surprise.
He thought, I might be surprised by some happenings, but He rules everything and not one happening or thing goes by without His sovereign hand involved.
All kings from old to now know there is a God who rules in all the affairs of mankind.
The pit that the wicked dig for the righteous, they are just digging for themselves. As God is their righteousness and allows the scheme of the wicked to fall on the head of the wicked.
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them. A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin, Proverbs 26:27-28.
The battle and vengeance is of the Lord. He is the Lord of all and the Judge of all.
He continued thinking……. Christ will be all and in all. This scripture must be fulfilled…..
He also was looking up to the sky for where he knew scripture spoken in 2 Corinthians 4:18: So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. “ ( Colossians 3:12).
He was aware his King’s heart desire for all to come and receive Him as their Lord and Savior. Little Person also thought how He is ruthless to accomplish His end is not a popular thought among his brothers and sisters.
He saw the book of Zechariah open before him sitting on the hill. He saw how the angel reported to the Lord of hosts that all the nations were at peace. The Angel of the Lord then asked how long the nations that were at ease will be at peace and how long is Your mercy withheld from Judah and Jerusalem….
Little Person saw the mind of God before him open up…..
Peace in nations leads to idol worship…..
He thought when I am working at my job and working with God in getting His message for the crew at the rehab….. I have no time to go after the world but have my time only to be used in Him…..
I am posed to hear You and only You…. All else is dim.
The world does not see peace that way…… The peace of comfort destroys relating to God for His all to be filled within us. He will accomplish all things to obtain Christ will be all and in all as Colossians speaks.
Peace in Him though there be chaos around is the normal for those who trust in God. The presence of God agitates pride of men. He cannot help it, the prideful hate Him….. When there is peace, maybe His presence is not present…..
Tribulation will exist in the world. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Written in John 16:33.
He rather stick with his King than follow the crowd. He noticed how people get united and division ends when the peace is gone from a nation. People want peace but what are they willing to live with and lower their standards to keep it?
Little Person was a witness to His power of His Word coming to fruition through his whole life. He was not going to go with the flow of the world….. Little Person loved his King and God too much. He rather go upstream with His Spirit then live with peace of compromise with the world’s ways and not know Him.
Galatians 2:20 is going to be proven in those who call on His name.
I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
As written as an example to all of us, Joseph was tested until the Word of God was proven though him as written:
When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread, he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron; until what he had said came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.” (Psalm 105:16–19).
God is moving and those who know Him and are led by His Spirit are moving too.
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart, ( Hebrews 4:12).
He remembered when Jesus Christ came to the earth before He was crucified, the majority of people wanted the continuation of a King to save them from the tyranny of government over them…as King David proved to be in days before….. But God was doing a new thing….. He was leading His people to His kingdom……Kingdom of heaven.
Even after the resurrection of our Lord and King, the crew was wondering when He was going to take back Israel from the Romans, but that was not God’s plan……He had greater intent with the release of His Spirit to dwell within those born again of God……..and believed in His Son….. There in the midst of the world, are the called out ones, establishing by His Spirit the new creation in Christ Jesus.
We must adhere to His plan…… Adjust….. Adjust……. Adjust…..
Peter had to adjust……. Paul had to adjust…… We have to adjust….. Or we will not go on with Him.
I have been crucified with Christ and the life I know live in the flesh I live by the Son of God…….
Father God, help me to not hold on to what I want but cling to Your purposes and plans that have been established before the world….If the world passes away today, Lord, please allow me to be about Your business and not saving myself. Give me Your strength and courage to know when this world breaks apart that I am going and bringing as many as hear….. to the heaven of my heart.
Your Kingdom come…… Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
May all…. Father, see Your Son, the man in white visit them in their dreams, in their cries, in their despair. May You visit them all as you did me that one day many years ago, You did it for me….. and You are not a respecter of persons….. so, please, reveal Your Son’s face for and to them.
Let them see Your face of love and compassion. Let them know Your arms wrapping them in Your everlasting love….. Allow them to see the blood that cleansed us all. Let them see Your love through Jesus Christ…. Let them see the One that we pierced. Let them know Your truth.
You said the empty shall be full by You and the full will be empty by You. Call them, awaken them…. Thank You for Your grace pouring over them, drenching them with hunger for more and more to know You. May they see Your love pouring from His wounds….. His eyes of tears pouring forth with love and compassion…. Lord, may they see You today and tonight….. Let the Son’s ray of fire burn into their hearts of stone and turn them to the hearts of flesh. Arise, My Lord’s army, arise and breathe in His breath of Life. Be resurrected in His life this minute of this day of this time….. Come alive in the King of all’s name, Jesus Christ…..
I know You have said, that all- meaning we too, will be shaken so that only what remains is eternal…..Help me to keep the eternal value of my life and others in clear view…… Let my sight be Your kingdom bound….and bring all through prayer. May my witness be effective in filling Your table with all from the highways and byways as we all journey onto the Highway of holiness together.
Open the eyes for all You have spoken over before time, may they receive You today.
Do not let the peace of compromise linger….. Awaken Your bride this day….. Nations bow before Him as His bride comes forth from the fire and waters for all to see. His bride now abides in Him…. She is where He is forever more.
Believe, come and you will see after you believe…… The consummation of His love has been sealed…. The Blood of God’s Lamb speaks of a better covenant this day. Follow Him today…… His footprints are there for you to step into…. He has made the way for you today…… Come and leave all behind….. Hear Him call your name- the whisper of heaven is singing in your heart to beckon your gaze to His cross.
Bow to Him who lowered Himself in death the One who lives forevermore…. He swallowed death and lives forevermore. Do you not see?…… This is His way….. The only way to life evermore…..
Bow at His cross. The Bloody Lamb slain for you and for me. By His blood the remission of sins are complete…. The only way of eternal life…. You must know…..
KNOW HIM TODAY…. He as not promised a tomorrow but He has promised all of Him if we…..
say YES, we love You. We believe in You and we repent of all our lives lived in defiance away from You.
We repent and now ask for grace to cling to You for here on through.
Eternal life is to know God, our Heavenly Father, and His Son.
Choose Him this day who speaks from heaven. Hear Him.
Selah!
More to come- God is willing…..
