He Will Drive, I Will Influence

 

He Will Drive, I Will Influence

     I have seen Adolf Hitler behind the podium.  He was a passionate man.  Hate?  Think so.  Did he prophecy?  Probably.  He had spiritual problems I think.  He spoke under different spirits.

     Not so with God.  When His Holy Spirit speaks, it is to the health of everyone.  Even to those who hate God.  He speaks in kind ways to convince them of His love for them.  Such is God.  Such are the sons of God who love peace and are propelled by this axiom that governs their being.

     I don’t think Mr. Hitler knew much about Godly peace.  I see a small boy, violated and taking out his revenge upon the entire world.  People are marked that way.  Early fits grow into disasters as one sinks his family down a bunker and takes cyanide to end the story.  I thought that was the tale.  The tale of Mr. Hitler.

     How many of us are bent off to destruction at an early time?  The formative years become tragedy as we learn to doubt and fear.  No one person is 100% worthy of our faith.  All will fail us at sometime.  Parents, teachers, church goers.  All fail.  Such is not with Jesus.

     How do we introduce our young to the Constant?  Through make-believe Bible stories where Mom and Dad slip the money under the covers with the tooth fairy?  Does Santa Claus come to visit when the Easter Bunny comes out with chocolate?  What is reality to our little ones?

     CONFUSION!  CONFUSION!  We court this spirit as some ignorant dance played out on stage for our prodigy to behold.  Hasn’t our God given the gifts?  Has He not entrusted the course of this world, so to say, to loving hands so apt to act?  Where then are the mentors?

     We do not need anymore fairy-tale god mothers with gnomes and kids playing under the bridge.  This world is scary enough without adults writing ‘R’ rated bedtime stories.  In fact, do we want to be another society which breeds more Hitlers?

     I used to be scared as a child.  At night, I would wrap my covers securely about my head that only my nose would stick out.  This procedure was sure to save me from Dracula.  Where in the world did I come up with that?  My mind at seven had not been to Transylvania.  I just knew the threat was real.

     Do I blame the T.V.?  Lax parents letting me go in limbo?  Late night fright nights?  No, the rubbish was just there.  It permeated the playground.  Death with killing seemed to abound.  I used to steal baby sparrows from their nests and pound their brains with a hammer.  Unresolved anger?   Possibly.  A psychiatrist may spend days figuring out my motive.  Mother-hate?

     I do not know.  But, for actuality, it was commonplace.  War and killing were favorite past times. Sure we played Wild Kingdom with pretend animals about the yard, but Aggression was their tempting our imaginations as I lit fires and destroyed things with fireworks.

     I was a boy!  Oh the answer. I had been hardwired by the Creator to be rambunctious.  Surely He failed when He knit me in my mother’s womb.  Blame God.

     Blame God, World.  Hitler was not to blame. He was just a victim of his environment.  His mistrust only stemmed from an erring childhood.  His pyramid of needs were not fully met as Mr. Maslow would say.  Under his foundation, a crucial block gave way and caused his brain to snap like a pit bull that threatened my wife recently.  Geeze, are we all like dogs?  Walking time bombs only at the mercy of the day?

     Preposterous!  Let’s get back to the reality of scripture so revealed by a timeless God.  He is the Judge.  He will hold every man and woman accountable for every act they have done in the flesh.  Some to life.  Others to destruction.  He does not mince words here.  Even if we are flying ninety down the interstate with feet hanging free out the window, we will all hit the concrete wall of death in His time, at His choosing, and if He tarries suffering to wait to execute the wrath of His Father upon a despondent people taken up in rage with a serpent-leader.

     How will Jesus come?  How will He come to you?  Please get your business straight before Him while it is still called Today.  Sin is ugly and requires the Price.  A target have you not seen on our Brother’s forehead?  He died that we may live.

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...

Cyclosporine

  Cyclosporine      Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressive drug given to keep the body from rejecting a transplanted organ.   In other words, the body knows its own and will fight foreign matter from being grafted in.   As a man with stage four kidney disease, this drug may come in handy.       So how is Christ our cyclosporine?   New must come.   In our natural state, our being fights what is not original.   Upon conversion, His Spirit enters in.   Mysteriously His Spirit intertwines with ours being permanently bonded together forever.   Hence, He is needed as we accept Him as our savior.      Acceptance is a huge thing.   What we allow into our heart, mind, and soul influences our spirit which animates our body.   We are as fortresses, walled cities with wooden gates hung upon steel hinges.   He gives us opportunity to stage keepers at each entrance.   They...

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...
