Living Revolutions are not for the spiritually dead.

Another example of how Jesus is our king is the last time I visited the TBN Int l. Headquarters in southern California I got there a bit late and the taping had already started so we had to sit in the overflow room. They have been looking for me for some time now actually but I am not exactly sure what for. So I pray to Jesus our king of all kings and asked him if he would tell them I was there. Just after that Paul Crouch Jr. looks at his staff behind the cameras and says “He is here he is over...” and motions towards the overflow room. Nothing much happened after that except “they” (the TBN staff in this case) took a picture of some people who were at the taping that day. I have seen quite a few impersonations there recently and I still not a singer doctor or whatever.  Run your own race be humble before God its his voice and his all knowing lordship that you must be accountable to.

If you have not figured it out yet with this blog I am trying to walk out the faith and demonstrate what “Christianity 2.0” looks like. You might think believe or feel I am crazy and I am if you use the worlds standards but this culture this life and this dimension of reality is far from being a product of our environment or our parents. The holy spirit is what we all need to be born again and live by to achieve the highest level God has for us. Many have tried to “take” that seat away me but as Jesus would say “father forgive them they know not what they do” as he is dieing nailed to a cross with his body torn apart because the religious leaders were afraid of loosing their positions and envied what he had.

Hebrews 6


1 So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God. 2 You don’t need further instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And so, God willing, we will move forward to further understanding.

4 For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come—6 and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame.

7 When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop for the farmer, it has God’s blessing. 8 But if a field bears thorns and thistles, it is useless. The farmer will soon condemn that field and burn it.

9 Dear friends, even though we are talking this way, we really don’t believe it applies to you. We are confident that you are meant for better things, things that come with salvation. 10 For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers,[a] as you still do. 11 Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. 12 Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance.

Recently I have been feeling challenged by my boss Andrew and also the scripture when Jesus told them to feed the people and they did not have even close to what was needed to feed them yet there were baskets of leftover bread. He supernaturally multiplied what they had and after giving thanks to God for it it was more than enough. When God gives a commanding word it accomplishes what it was sent out to do.

2 Timothy 2


An Approved Worker


15 Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. 16 Avoid worthless, foolish talk that only leads to more godless behavior. 17 This kind of talk spreads like cancer, as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus. 18 They have left the path of truth, claiming that the resurrection of the dead has already occurred; in this way, they have turned some people away from the faith.

19 But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,”[a] and “All who belong to the Lord must turn away from evil.”[b]

20 In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap ones are for everyday use. 21 If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.

22 Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.

23 Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. 24 A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. 25 Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. 26 Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.

I made an error and after fasting about who to vote for I made a mistake and even though I knew Obama was going to win statistically, at least. As well as voice said clearly to vote for him. I did not vote for McCain either actually I chose to keep my commitment and this dream of a female political leader but in the dream she wore blue and was a brunette but since Sarah Palin was running for vice president it must not have been her. Secretary of state is not a good match either. We do not have empresses here in the USA so I do not know what it means literally yet. The rest of the dream has come true so far. I think its like when Jesus was expected to be a conquering king according to the scriptures and he will be but they ignored the fact he had to be a suffering servant first. There is no need to try and create this reality because if you do its not going to be in full context anyways and you might delay the inevitable like I have seen the new agers do over and over. Your faith is only required if its a command just follow the spirits leading in every area of your life let the light shine on dark closets and know the truth so it will set you free.
A Tree and Its Fruit

15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

Not everyone who says Lord lord will enter... only those who do the will...

I used to wonder about some of these verses and exactly how they apply but now I do not because not only do I understand more completely I have witnessed people walking them out. Sadly. I also remember a word from HB London so long ago and now has been fulfilled many times over....
The Cost of Following Jesus

57As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."

58Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."

59He said to another man, "Follow me."
But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

60Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."

61 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family."

62Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."

Often I have wondered if the choices I have made were wrong and some have tried to test or discredit my devotion but if anything its the desire to be sure something is indeed the will of God that has caused delays. I have had enough problems with false prophets and teachers to last me a lifetime trust me on that one!  I think politics is more suited for that agenda, and those who can survive it.

Oh and when I was on a mission trip long ago I was amazed at how intense the sun was burning me on a cloudy day! A new dealish style solar powered Mexico can solve alot of immigration issues.  Automobile conversions to liquid hydrogen tideal energy for the price of a stimulus check can also save our paycheck to paycheck generation by not changing the engine block (if its litteral). When I recall president Bush's last state of the union address I believe its consistant with that vision. We need change for america but a new direction is a waste of time and resources just change what is broken. Over all move foreward hold on to what is good and in the momment do what is right. I am amazed at how much fruit grows here in the wilderness with no human effort. The perspective from inside the kingdom is always better than outside. No matter what political identity banner you choose the left hand is unclean before the invention of toilet paper not used to shake hands and not the direction you step if you know God has blessed you in the end. Obama is exstreamly energy conservative in community organization.  Suprizes are known to happen even on inogeration day, I exspect some changes in leadership exactly what I am not certain but I bet my distant co-worker Rick Warren knows.
