Love Conquers All?

 

Love Conquers All?

1 Corinthians 13

     Shamanism is no small thing.  It is an underlying plague that snakes through our society.  Convinced the spirit world can indeed influence, its patrons so delve into the darkness on purpose or by accident.  Like mistakenly finding a new power, its subjects fall into a discipleship type of relationship.  With continued confluence, a body merges with another power.  So enticed are these spirits by the offer of seduction, they cannot help but become involved.  See, it is their job as a rebellion of misfit wanderers.

     When one slips to the natural lack of discernment in given spiritual matters, he or she runs the risk of demonic control.  “Throwing a fit?  I just lost my head?  I don’t know what come over me.”  Ever heard these words?  These are evidences of the unseen.

     Sure, there is the flesh.  But the flesh can be amplified or the volume turned up.  Whatever works in a power struggle is game for a person so given to these rages.  Man to wife?  Wife to man?  The dynamics of the home spin uncontrollably.  What is meant to be in order as understood authority is crippled by these exterior involvements.  It is hard enough solidifying a marriage in this fallen world without demonic conundrums. The question, “Who is really in charge here?”  If the man says, “I am.”  He has failed.  If the wife says she is, witchcraft if at her door.  So breeds chaos when Christ is not recognized as the head.

     How can these contortions be straightened out?  Love.  Love endures.  Love takes the punches.  Love sticks it out and offers no offence back in return.  Love surely is greater than any witchcraft spell.  God comes as a Violent Overthrower of power when His little ones call on Him.

     Are you stuck in a powerless relationship?  Are you at the mercy of another?  Do shamans run about you with potions of deliverance?  There is one deliverer.  His name is God.

God's Successive Revelations

  God’s Successive Revelations Search Me diligently, and I will reveal Myself to you.      Yah, that sound like something God would say.   I understand He revealed the Trinity to us.   I plead ignorance in Church history.   Some theologians, perhaps 400 A.D. came upon this gem that we hold true today.   The idea of the rapture is new on the Church radar.   Late 1800’s?      What if God revealed His truth to His people in time?   Surely, Solomon was the wisest man in his day, but did he know about Pentecost?   Daniel, the far seer, was only shown glimpses.   What did he know of Peter and miracles in the temple?   A certain king discovered God’s truth again and that made for a reformation, but what did he know of the beast standing in the sea?   God gives insight in His time.      I have trained seven children.   As young  children, I did not flood them with...

She Doesn't Tell You That You Are A Loser

She Doesn’t Tell You That You Are Loser Grace:  The incredible pink cushion between your screwed up decisions and the ramifications wrought by them. Mercy:  withholds the rod.  Grace says, “Now what?  Given you’ve gotten yourself into a marijuana muddied bowl of slime, would you like a hand up?”  She gets her hands dirty. “That’s ok, its just something I have to work through.”  And she does.  Her incredible prayer power burns a hole through overhanging clouds of gloom. My ears pierce in my usual confronting atmosphere.  An auto E.Q. does its job to focus the vibrations to the rear-view mirror.  Anger aligns my head to look straight into traffic.  Twenty minutes of a sub-woofer gets my energy out of the windshield. “Hey, you’re messing with my woman!”  We have an understanding.  She is to be under my wing.  I have violated before, running in a tangent to the graph.  I’ve learned not to overreact.  I conc...

Perhaps You Don't Know

  Perhaps You Don’t Know      Those present sat in the first pew, on the left and on the right.   The ring bearer was my faithful dorm mate.   Nearly my age and goofier to catch my sister-in-law’s eye, his antics spiced the military wedding.   We, known as a couple since high-school, were definitely going ‘steady’.   Mother-in-law held up the Panasonic cassette player to march the bride.   Proud Papa did say, “Her mother and I.”      It was a humble wedding.   A few were invited.   Even fewer braved the September roads.   The medium-sized First Christian Church of Aurora, Colorado let in the light.   Lack of air flow brought sweat under my suited armpits.   Finally, drops found their place to my forehead and I dropped to one knee.   Grandma thought I had already proposed previously.   A bit of confusion hung in the air until I stripped off my outerwear and got comfortable in the ...
