Greetings Brothers and Sisters. I hope Gods Grace has been evident in your lives. It is always there, but I hope and pray that you have felt it, though feelings are fleeting, we are human, and Gods Grace is always present, whether we “feel it” or we don’t, but it is nice to feel it as well. He understands humanity. Never think he does not. For Jesus was a Man in all ways as we are, but perfect in his spirit. He understands pain. So he understands yours. Never think or believe otherwise. I have been through many trials and changes since I last wrote here, but God is merciful. I have been leading Bible Study, working as I ought, being a Father, and dealing with my own trials and tribulations. While I gave credence to other things in my life, this particular endeavor was laid to the side. 

I believe all things happen in Seasons, and God has allowed me this season to pick this baton back up, so I am here writing again, to whoever God calls to read it. He is the reason and the source of all good things. It is not by my will that I continue in these things, but by his Will who gives me the words to type to you, so that he can be more greatly manifested in your lives, for his glory and for your edification.  

Had I been writing about the things of the world (Money, Sex, Power, Influence, Luxury), I would have no doubt reaped the things that world brings to such people who indulge in that type of treachery. The fame, the adoration of Men, which are the things the flesh seeks, whom the God of this world gives generously. Or perhaps preaching that God is a God of desire wishes, and anything you can conjure up, whether it be editable for you or not, he will give. Twisting his words that he will give you the “Desires of your heart”. Even if your heart is far from the desires he has for your life! 

I have never spoke to you, or anyone this way. But only in the way in which we were instructed by the ones who gave us the scriptures, and taught us how to speak. And they received it from Jesus, so he is a good doctrine, and above reproach. But if I came saying: “Give me this and give me that, and God will bless you mightily”, many would have done it. Not out of love or sacrifice, but out of hidden greed in their own heart, to satisfy the lust they have for material things themselves, but God said he would not be a debtor to anyone, so we cannot sow money and put him in the debtors position to owe us a monetary return. Those who love God do not seek Jets and mansions, but they seek the things of God, which are eternal, and do not rust or spoil, and cannot be repossessed. Keep your heart pure, and turn-away from the things that the World has sent to only to tempt you, and draw you away from the one who died for you. This we know to be true, because he has revealed himself, before crucifixion and after, to many witnesses and by-standers. 

We believe because he has revealed himself to us, and removed the scales  that once covered our eyes, as he did with Paul. We stand as living witnesses that he sits on the right hand side of the Father. We are bold in this belief, and we stand on it, yea, all day long we die for it.  To ourselves. I have missed writing to you, and I thank God for brining we back to it in this season, though I grieve at the many things that have taken place in between time. I am alright. God has hedged me in, but grieving is human, and we grieve in moments of our lives, until we join him.  I pray that you have been steady in Christ. Stable. Firm. Unwilling to compromise. Un-ashamed of what he did on the cross. Forsaken others who would persecute you for his name. Did the Bible not say Parent will turn against Child, and Brother against Brother, and Sister against Sister? Luke 12:53 “Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” Has God not said this? 

Do not be surprised by the division, Jesus is divisive amongst the living and the dead, and light is divisive against the darkness.  It cannot be “light” and “dark” at the same time. When one is present the other is not. If they were divided and separated from Christ, they will be divided and separated from you as well. Do not mourn for the separation, instead more for their souls, who God will separate eternally. The days are short brothers and sisters. Believe me. Better yet, believe God. Our time here is but a whisper. But he who runs a good race, for him it feels like a long-sprint. Run your race for it will end suddenly. You do not want to end your race with clean shoes, as if you did not race at all. They should be torn and worn at the end, as a runner who gave it his best. Give God your best. We have received his in Christ. 

When we give God our least, we are as wicked as Cain, who gave God his worse! Imitate Able, who gave God all the best of what he had. That is love. When we give our best. It is not a measure of value, because what is my best may be different then what is your best, but give the best of what it is you do have, God finds this pleasing! Your best may be small, but to God it is Gigantic. Man see’s no value in the little things. The small things are of no use. So God uses what is small in Man’s eyes, and makes mountains out of them.

You are that mountain, on which God has propped himself on, for all to see him. He did not make you a cave, where no one can see, and caves do not allow sunlight to come in. The entire world is a cave, and you are the light inside of it. The temptations of this world are like strong winds, they come to put out the torch that your right hand, which symbolic of your strong hand, is holding.  Do not let your light, inside you and in your hand, go out.
