The Universal Wrench

  The Universal Wrench      A new franchise, with its doors open on the first day.   “Open” sign hangs in the front window.   Some shoppers pass by in wonderment.   Some are curious about the front window display.   Some venture in to look around.   The shoppers have made their choices.   How near they draw to the merchandise is up to them.   Only those who enter through the door can partake.      Did the store discriminate?   Were there other signs in its front window?   “Whites only” “Cash sales, no credit cards accepted” “All sales final” If other signs accompanied the grand opening, then we could say the invitation was restricted.      Nails pierced Christ’s hands to the wood.   His immense pain commanded Him to contract, but the spikes laid Him out to expose Him fully.      I have a grandson who is curious about trapping.   Recently I bought a few small vermin traps from Bomgaars.   A little conibear and a pan trap.   We set them in the living room, and he shoots them with

A Stiff Drink

  A Stiff Drink Hebrews 11:13  “ These all died in faith, not having received the promises , but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ” Ephesians 1: 9  “ Having made known unto us the mystery of his will , according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:   10  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: ” Joel 2:28  “ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh ; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: ” Acts 1:8  “ But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you : and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. ” Ephesia

Welcome!

  Welcome!      Lily Mae.   You arrived today at 1:30 a.m.   A hectic hospital run you did not make for your parents wanted you at home.   In that pioneering spirit, they teach you independence.   Living off the grid is in their hearts so I warn you.   Y our future chore may be to clean the goats’ pen!   That grain embedded in your parents extends out to the branches.   If the trunk defies a worldly pull and lifts you high, then much will be expected.      You have the responsibility to manifest your influences.   Sap rises from beneath and flows through your veins.    You are indeed one with something greater.   Grandparents on both sides have combined to feed the trunk ensuring its strength.   A further reach has gathered goodness from previous generations.      You are no mistake.   God in His right mind grants blessing.   As a branch from a mighty oak, your extension will grab the light and wave in the breeze.   Your girth will know successive years of growth under His hand.

Fire And Ice

  Fire And Ice 1 Thessalonians 5:19  “ Quench not the Spirit. ” Acts 2: 3  “ And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues , as the Spirit gave them utterance. ” 1 Corinthians 14:33  “ For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. ”      Stop and go!   (and stop).   The Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles back in 1906, began the Pentecostal Movement which ignited in America and swept across the world according to Google.   I don’t know.   I wasn’t there.   But I speak in tongues today.   I thought that was just the norm.      Light ‘em up and watch them spin!   Come to church and we need a rush to assure us that God is real.   Someone needs to prophesy.   A new message while Wonda dances about the aisle in her spiritual expression.   The kids run rampant as the parents gorge themselves on the current lea

And There Are Brothers

  And There Are Brothers Hebrews 1:7  “ And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits , and his ministers a flame of fire. ” Colossians 2:18  “ Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, ” Judges 13:20  “ For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the  Lord  ascended in the flame of the altar . And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.” Genesis 18:2  “ And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him : and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, ”       I will not write out of authority here for I have little experience.   I can share what I can and it is not in length of angels and their ministry to us.   However, this morning I am taken down the dark path of recollecti

Salient Savior

  Salient Savior Colossians 1:18  “ And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence . ”      Who are we messing with here?   Whose name do we kick around on a Sunday morning?   “In Your name we pray…”   Really?   Jesus this, Jesus that.   Our little Jesus we have in a box.   Let it burn our lips even to pronounce the Name!   And yet His mercy flows forth from His throne like water extinguishing what wrath could threaten. Revelation 1:15  “ And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. ” Exodus 20:19  “ And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die . ”      Our little Jesus throws a voice that curdles our blood and raises the hair on the back of our necks.      My little ones knew my tone given.   If they be in trouble, they knew it before they saw my face.

The King With The Glass Crown

The King With The Glass Crown When I said yes You opened my court’s doors with Your presence Light flooded and Drove out darkness   I proceeded to bow before You I implored You to sit upon my throne You declined and required me to sit in my usual place An Advisor You said, no more   Situations of the day bring issues in my courtroom I listen and bend my ear to Your wisdom when I lack   I know from whence I came How my dominion suffered How this ruler was powerless In keeping even his own castle   That all changed when You came in Not by storm or by threat I simply lifted the latch To hear the Voice on the other side   So grateful I am to have You here Counsel You give to every decision But what is best You are close
