The weather was still unfavorable to ride and go to the Meeting Hill.  He sat in his favorite booth at Pete’s diner.

It was now raining out now. The word was the cold front would move in and change the rain to a wintry mix.

He sighed a big sigh. He really missed riding his mare. He knew God was with him in this diner even though the fresh invigorating air was replaced by grease burning and smoking on the grill with bacon essence flowing through the place.

He sipped his coffee looking out the window.

He was waiting on Uri to meet him. She had gone to the barn to drop off some feed supply for the horses before another batch of snow came billowing down.

Then he heard as he got his pen and opened up his notebook:

Man thinks he can control all things…..Change is the way of I AM.

I AM is always increasing. Change by man will eventually decrease but with I AM, he will increase.

Mankind wants what was. Even though the complaints were heard by I AM of what was- back then.

I AM promised to shake everything that can be shaken.  All that remains is eternal. My Christ will be all and in all.

Hebrews 12:25-29 came to Littlestone’s mind:

 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks.

 If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? 

At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”

 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”

Christ is all and will be in all.   I AM has the preeminence  always. Unregenerated mankind think they do. Mankind tries very hard to move I AM out of the way of their roads of advancement. Alas, destruction still takes root for not one man will live forever….. Unless he is found Me.

I AM is gracious to all in time so man may turn all over to My hand. Things may come and may go, but those who call on My name in faith will live forever.

Man assumes if change does not happen, he is in control of all around him. Not so.

His view is lateral instead of vertical and eternal. However, in I AM, the horizons are never ending and all things are possible.

Man was created to be eternally with God.  He was made in Our image.

The first man changed the rules and desired the knowledge he had was on his own.

Or at least, he thinks he can change what God has created.

What is done by the unregenerated man has caused things to be changing towards destruction according to the curse…..

Man was then changed to the image of Adam and not I AM……

As written in Gensis 5:1-3 Littlestone was searching the scriptures:

This is the written account of Adam’s family line.

When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. 

He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind”^[a] when they were created.

 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.

Every heart in earnest birth form is full of disobedience. The crown of God was removed the day Adam and Eve sinned against I AM.

Not one  of mankind can hold onto this life. He will lose it.

If he allows it to be given to My hands, He will keep life and even have life eternally.

This is all because of My death on the cross for all mankind…. I AM took the punishment of sin and iniquity through all generations….

Intercede for all mankind to turn and see what Life I AM offering. I AM does not desire any to perish, but they will by their own choice.

See as I AM’s eyes, many upon many will not come to eat the tree of life.

Many will turn away so they cannot partake in the second resurrection.

Many will turn away from the hidden manna that I AM has stored for them who turn to Me.

Many will not receive their white stone which if they receive will read and know their new name written by My hand.

Many will not receive My power to rule over the nations with I AM.

Their hands are clinched so tight on the worldly goods, and a name of fame and fortune, they will not open to receive the Morningstar.

Many will remain in their clothes spoiled by this world. They refuse to put on the white garments of praising I AM as well as clothed in My Spirit by My blood. On My Day, they will be seen by I AM as naked.

They refuse to be crowned with the crown of receiving My love and forgiveness. They forfeit My seal of inheritance upon them, My Spirit to dwell now in them.

Many will not confess Me as their Savior before others so they will never hear I AM’s voice declaring their name before My Father and all the angels in heaven…..

They do not care if their name is written in My Book of life.

Many do not care if they forfeit becoming a pillar, a strong one, in My Father’s house.

They do not care where they abide for all of eternity.

They forfeit the name of our Father and His city written on their forehead…..

They will never hear My new name for each of them that I AM has chosen.

Child of God, there are many who will never know what treasure  is for I AM to come and sup with them.

They will never know how the scales of deceit in their eyes have clouded their vision.

The evil one has sent them on a deceptive trail which will led them to eternal fire.

Yet, I AM is calling them still, turn to Me all who are on a foolish path….

Turn and come to I AM. Leave foolishness behind and come into Wisdom and Righteousness and Sanctification found in Christ Jesus.

As I AM is speaking, you are praying for the scales of their eyes to be removed.

I AM hears your intercession of which they may change their garments into praise of I AM because they have turned to believe in the One who God has sent to them.

And I AM says to you,

Matthew 13:10-15:

The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 

Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance.

Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 

This is why I speak to them in parables:

“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:

“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.

Then He spoke:

^{MATTHEW 16:24-28:}

 ^{Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.} 

 ^{For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.} 

 ^{What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?} 

 ^{For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.}

^{“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”}

^{Again, I AM repeats what is  written in Ezekiel 24:14:}

 ^{“‘I the Lord have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not hold back; I will not have pity, nor will I relent. You will be judged according to your conduct and your actions, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”}

^{Come and hear what I AM has spoken to all:}

^{But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.  For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”  spoken in the New Testament, Matthew 12:36-37, from His King’s mouth  which is full of grace and truth, thought Littlestone.}

^{I AM has promised to shake the heavens and the earth….}

^{Littlestone was shaking his cold hands to get the blood flowing from writing. He did not want to miss one word of His King today.}

^{Every good parent gives meat and vegetables to their children to grow healthy.  Littlestone heard Him continue and he grabbed his pen and also continued.}

^{Ice cream and candy are not a diet for a healthy life…..Nor drunkeness be given the name of the  same wisdom as knowing the Holy One and His Son.}

^{True understanding of My grace with truth, I AM alone makes a strong and healthy son and daughter of the King of all.}

^{If they stand on the foundations of what they believe will never change, they will not turn to I AM and look up for help.}  

^{Many ask why should there be tragedy?} 

^{The world is fading away because the spilt bloodshed of the innocent and the fall of mankind.}

^{The curse over the world is flying through the ages.}

^{My son, Zechariah, saw the flying scroll of the curse written in chapter 5:}

 ^{I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll.}

 ^{He asked me, “What do you see?”}

^{I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.}

 ^{And he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished.} 

^{The Lord Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.’”}

^{Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.”}

^{I asked, “What is it?”}

^{He replied, “It is a basket.” And he added, “This is the iniquity of the people throughout the land.”}

^{Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! 8 He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it.}

^{Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.}

 ^{“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me.}

 ^{He replied, “To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”}

  ^{I AM has come to give life. Eternal life is where the abundance in I AM is found.  Eternal life is knowing God.}

^{Mankind made their choice and still is…… I AM has turned all the evil that mankind has done to good for those who love Me…..}

^{But, then…….it is written, My people perish for lack of knowledge in Proverbs.}

^{As My son has written in My Word: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31:}

^{For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,} 

^{but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  For it is written:}

^{“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”}

 ^{Where is the wise person?} 

^{Where is the teacher of the law?}

^{Where is the philosopher of this age?} 

^{Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?}

 ^{For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.} 

 ^{Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,} 

^{but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.} 

 ^{For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.}

 ^{Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called.} 

^{Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.} 

 ^{But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.} 

^{God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.} 

^{It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.} 

 ^{Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”}

 ^{All things will be shaken that are not of I AM.}

^{The presence of I AM  shakes all that is certain to fade away.}

^{Then I AM calls, come to Me and  know that I AM is here, the UNSHAKABLE ONE.}

^{Littlestone thought these are hard sayings.}

^{Reminded him of what He said in Jeremiah, His word is as a hammer…..}

^{He is hammering, he thought.}

^{As Littlestone agreed, hard times produce us to seek God.} 

^{He remembered his own life and Uri’s too.} 

^{If it was not in our fall, we would never have called on Jesus Christ.}

He knows without God, his life would be a total sham.

He thought of Psalm 149:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Littlestone smiling at the bright faces in the diner. The scripture came up to him: 2 Corinthians 2:14: Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

He spoke, just in case there are some here which are far from the place we believers find ourselves in Christ in eternity. All the possibilities are boundless in Christ; just as the grace of our Lord is boundless and endless.

However, His grace will stop on His Day.

Do not be deceived, all those who hold unto their sin and iniquity and block His grace from working. Those who reject Him, will never be free to explore all that our Heavenly Father has given us which is found in Christ Jesus.  His restoration has a purpose for each of His sons and daughters…..It is not just the forgiveness of sins, yet, forgiveness is enough for all but, He has greater plans for us. Salvation is just His start spot,….so, come to Him, if you are far. He calls us out to bring us in to His plan.

Repent now, while He is near. Turn from your sin and turn to Jesus Christ on His cross.  Be covered and washed clean in His blood. Be born from above by the hand of God and be come His kid….. Come now while it is still day.

Peter has waved his arm back behind the counter to take anyone in the kitchen to pray with them.

Littlestone nodded and continued, come now, while it is just turning to night and then His Day approaches like the rising of the sun. Go to Peter and he will pray with you. Please turn to Him now. I hear Him calling you…… Do you?

Littlestone spoke up and said, okay, let us climb up higher in reading some more. A new vista is calling us up. We can’t stop here! God help us if we do, for there is more to see to know of Him…. Read now my two favorite prayers:

Ephesians 1:16-23:

 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 

 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 

And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

Here we are, Father God, glorify Your name through every soul gathered in Your place, before the very throne of God. May the Word of Your heart fill us and be fulfilled in and through us, so all may know the greatness of Your love, in Jesus name, we ask this.

AMEN and AMEN echoed in the diner and throughout that day and every day before His throne.

Then He continued to read and confirm the greatness of their God, Ephesians 3:14-21:

 For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

 

Only faith in God will produce His Word to work mightily in us according to His power which works in us….. His Spirit, His fruit, His grace…. Christ will be all and in all, as written.  Amen?

Amen resounded like the thunderings of heaven were coming through this little diner.

Once you know Him, you see Him, Littlestone continued… We know Him, because our faith works His Word which results in experience in each and every one of His kids in every second of every day…..He is the Living God and His Word is alive and active….. in us.

Just say yes and walk with Him.  From His glory, we go to glory and  from faith to faith, we ascend to His high calling found in God by Christ Jesus.  Our faith in God and His Word is our King’s and God’s greatest pleasure.

His work is finished, but Holy Spirit is at work now in us completing the new creation within us, which we are in Christ. His Word complete will be manifested in His body. As written we are complete in Him as found in Colossians.

Do not stop reading Scripture, allow Scripture to be the best meal you have every eaten.

Pray without ceasing and praising Him for the fellowship we have now in Christ Jesus.

Praise Him forever and ever!

As written in Psalm 67:1-4

God be merciful and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us, that Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among the nations.

Let the peoples praise You, O God;

Let all the peoples praise You.

Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!

For You shall judge the people righteously, and govern the nations on earth.

 

Everyone yelled, Amen……. Amen……So be it, Lord!

There was a mountain that quaked then fell, which no one knew in the diner…..There are many things we do not need to know, but we need to praise.

Our great Holy One saw Satan falling like lightning again. This day and month and year will be written down in His books of war!

Praising God through prayer and His Word can move all things out of His way!

Just believe today!

Who is worthy of all our love, faith and honor?  Praise be the Father, the Son and His Holy Spirit.

He looks inside of us with His searching Lamp…..

May His eyes behold, we have not left our first love…..States in Revelation 2:2-7:  “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:

These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands. 

I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 

You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. 

Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.

If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. 

But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

We have been given great and mighty heavenly riches revealed unto us who call on the Lamb as their King and Savior…..

We cannot be as Esau who despised his inheritance for lesser things of this world, which will pass away….

Only His Word will remain. Only those who do the will of God abides forever, for the world is passing away.

Eat abundantly from His tree of life.

Be strong in Him. Allow His Word to fill and fulfill each purpose the Word has been sent to do in each of us and  around us…. Amen?

AMEN!!! So be it, Lord Jesus..

As we all hear, the Spirit and the bride call all to come…. All who are thirsty and all who hunger for righteousness….

Come and be filled this day…..

His arms are wide open.

Fall before Him now and repent of all that separates Him from you….

Allow His home to be in your spirit and learn by Holy Spirit to make room for Him in your soul now and forever.

Turn away from the idols of this world before they are torn away because this world is fading away…. All that remains are the new in Him…. We, the new creation in Christ, is His new work as written in Revelation 21:5 :Then He who sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me, write, for these words are true and faithful.

Littlestone continued: 1 John 3:1-3 states: Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!

Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him as He is.

And everyone who has this hope purifies Himself, just as He is pure.

And we say as His children, amen and so be it, Lord, so be it…… May You be glorified in and by Your kids here and all that call on Your name.

Amen and amen was heard in heaven for the loudness from the small group. Their love for Him alone rose on high.  Their faith rose to His greatness in praise for His glory alone.

Selah!

More to Come—- He Is Willing!

Live this year with total intent on knowing Him by His Word and in prayerful communion…… Let it be heard, I know you, come into the fellowship of the Lord.  Hear Him today….. Then see Him these days.

Ask for ears to hear Him! All His sheep hear Him! Then the eyes to see Him will be granted. First, believe in Him. Know Him by His Word.  Trust in Him…..Then you see His hand in all things….. Afterall, He is God!

Praise Him and love Him…..He is sooooooooooo good!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Uri and Littlestone continued their adventure in God while never leaving their booth….

They were going over all Littlestone had spoken on His fruit will remain and all else will be burned with fire….. They were praying to have very delicate ears to hear Him all the time. They asked to hear His footsteps approach in the night and through their busy day.

They continued to discuss how great their King was and is and forever will be. Thankful they were called to know Him.

The Gift of Jesus Christ as the Open Door to Heavenly Father was just the beginning to know and see all the things God has planned for them.   The scope was so wide and so deep and so high and so long. Only God could have thought of this all and put it together by His Son…. Best yet, we get to be in His Son….They were getting overwhelmed with excitement and joy.

Littlestone spoke, yes, truly Christ in us is our great hope of glory! Father opened up so much more to us then just forgiveness of sins, though that in itself would have been enough.

But not for our God, said Uri.

Littlestone agreed as he took another sip of coffee.

They were both so full of enthusiasm  and ready to ride their horses unto the great unknown.  They looked out, both said simultaneously, not today.

Yet, Uri continued, in Holy Spirit, we can go everywhere and anywhere from His holy throne….by His Spirit and in Christ Jesus, we can do all things that strengthen us as written.  We are in time but bigger than that, we are in eternity in Him, and there are no boundaries any more……Not in prayer, or knowledge or love….. He sends His Word swiftly……by us, said Uri.

Holy Spirit is our best Ride ever! she said, while the fire of His love in her was bursting out. Lightning flares were flying around her from His presence within her.

She continued, they say, whoever they are, the sky is the limit; well, in Christ, there is no limit to prayer, to knowing Him and doing the impossible because with God, all things are possible.

He is the best God ever, she again finished with a big grin and sigh….She looked out again wanting to ride again. Everyone saw her face as bright as the sun, shining from the love of God which had been revealed to her from above.

Uri looked at Littlestone, wow! Do you see what I see?

He smiled and understood her wanting to ride. The same sense of adventure to cover ground on a horse comes to him while His Word reveals all they can be and is available to us to be in Christ……

Through fields and valleys in the apprehension of Christ, we go everyday, we learn a little more, he said, but we are always there and yet always coming deeper into His Presence who is Ancient, but new to us.

I guess this is what He meant from faith to faith and from glory to glory we obtain on High.  May this be the way to the high calling found in Christ Jesus.…..

Riding his mare seems the way to cover that ground, but Holy Spirit brought up Psalm 45 before his eyes:

He read aloud verses 1-9:

My heart is stirred by a noble theme
as I recite my verses for the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

You are the most excellent of men
and your lips have been anointed with grace,
since God has blessed you forever.

Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one;
clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.
In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in the cause of truth, humility and justice;
let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.
Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies;
let the nations fall beneath your feet.
 Your throne, O God,^[c] will last for ever and ever;
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.

 All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
from palaces adorned with ivory
the music of the strings makes you glad.
Daughters of kings are among your honored women;
at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.

 Littlestone burst out saying: In Him, we can ride by His Spirit….

Father God, we praise you here and thank You. There is no God like You and we are so grateful and excited to be Your children as we are also so grateful for Jesus Christ and all His finished work on the cross….

We count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord. May we gain all of You in our hearts and soul and be abounding abundantly with Christ in us and through us, in Jesus name, Amen!

Uri yelled, and astonishing so did the rest of the people in the diner:  Amen, Lord, so be it!

The diner all shook with the praise of their God!

Some one yelled out, Let it snow. Let it snow!  Let your grace abound more as written….

We can stay here in Your presence, Holy One, and gaze on Your beauty as the knowledge of You is filling us to overflow. Thank You, Sir.

Everyone shouted AMEN and Amen!

Then this scripture came to mind to Littlestone. He opened it up and read it aloud.

As written in Revelation 7:09-17:

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

And they cried out in a loud voice:

“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”

All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,  saying:

“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”

Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”

 I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore,

“they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
will shelter them with his presence.
 ‘Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,
nor any scorching heat.
 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd;
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’
‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’

Again, the excitement, or was it His living water bubbling up in a heavenly way, building up inside everyone in the diner as the Word of God was spoken and believed. They all saw all what God has done for them and what is planned ahead for each one of them.

They realized also this was a smidge of all that He has planned for us.  How wide the heavenly realm of possibilities in Christ have been opened and released upon them. As written in 1 Corinthians 2:9-16:

However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—

these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them?

 In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 

 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 

 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.

 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 

The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for

“Who has known the mind of the Lord
so as to instruct him?

But we have the mind of Christ.

Amen again was heard like a freight train in this little place which it’s inhabitants abode was in heaven and on earth.

The quest of His Word making fresh tracks in the snow for them. Their revelation of all He had laid before them is neverending…..

Stay tuned for some more of this path they are plowing in the snow storm of their dream which beyond all imagination but is His reality.

SELAH!

More to Come- He Is Willing!

Littlestone was sitting at the little diner that Uri and him meet often to talk.

It had been snowing all night, he had walked there. The roads were unpassable until the men clear some of the snow aside…..

He looked out at the fogged-up windows. He saw each and every snowflake and knew they would complete the mission that they were sent.  Their end would be in the neverending overflowing river.

He thought how the snow shows us how faithful is His neverending grace pouring over us every minute of every day. As a snowflake, it will melt into the river. However, we get filled with His river of the Spirit of Grace and Life, when we turn to see Jesus Christ, repent.  The death shroud is removed and we are made clean as white as snow.

He prayed all to believe in the greatness of the Gift of His Son.

He looked up at the blanket of white and thanked the Creator of His love, neverending love, neverfailing love.

Father God, You thought of everything. Only You could make all things work together for good that are according to Your purpose.

Then in walked Uri. She smiled as lightning light up the diner.  She was rosy cheeked and nose was as red as a strawberry.

She ripped off her scarf, then her hat, then her coat. She left her mittens on for her hands were as ice.

She questioned, where is the coffee, or hot chocolate? Did you just get here?

Littlestone smiled as he tried to speak, but could not get out a word…..

Uri looked around and spoke out, Peter is not here.  How did you get in?

Littlestone smiled and said, I texted Peter and asked if he was okay. Peter is snowed in and cannot get out. So he asked me to open up for him and let the people come in out of the cold. He told me to start the coffee going and pour out hot tea, coffee, and chocolate to anyone who walks in.

Uri said, cool….. Uh, where is the coffee?

Littlestone cleared his throat turning red, speaking, I cannot figure out how it works and I do not know how much coffee to put in……

Littlestone replied, hot water is from the same machine.

Littlestone pointed his head towards the counter, speaking, come on, maybe you can figure it out.

They both headed to behind the counter.

Uri had it brewing as the pungent aroma of brewing coffee

was filling the diner.

She spoke out to the people in the booths, ready in a jiff.

Come on up if you want some hot tea or hot chocolate…

The people formed a line. Graciously they laid down their dollars for they all loved Peter, the owner.

Then Uri said, okay let me know if you want refills.  Cooking you will have to wait on Peter.

She smiled and continued, I do not think he wants to gamble on a fire to warm us up and that is what will happen if I try to cook anything on this huge grill.

They all laughed and said, we can wait…..

Then a sweet man said, hey let’s pray for the town and the people that are stuck in the snow.

So they did and His presence filled the tiny diner.  The warmth of prayer and Holy Spirit and the hot beverages warmed everyone up.

They were all talking and joking as Peter walked in. There was a loud YAY! Ringing out to their cook and chief bottle washer entering in.

He smiled speaking, I knew you all prayed because all of a sudden my driveway melted enough to allow me to get down the street and I followed the plow all the way here. Thank God and thank you for your prayers.

Everyone spoke out, Praise God!

Give me ten to get it all started up in the kitchen.

Uri go ahead and pour out some more coffee, and hot whatever any one wants, okay?

Uri replied, on it, boss!

Littlestone was applying his new trade as a barista making the coffee flow from the maker.

Eventually, all were fed and filled to overflowing with hot beverages.

Uri and Littlestone sat at their favorite booth.  They were sipping their coffee as their empty hot chocolate mugs were pushed to the side.

They both contemplating the wonderful white world that was before them.

Uri spoke, it was a God thing, that John decided to stay through the night at the barn. He is taking care of the horses. I called and checked, they are all fed, watered and blanketed.

Thank God John decided to stay over the weekend, who knows when the roads will be cleared to get out to the barn, agreed Littlestone.

They both turned their attention outside again….

Then Littlestone broke the silence, so you had a good Christmas, right?

Uri smiled and said, oh yeah! How about you?

He said, yup.

She felt the necklace he had given her under her jacket.

She smiled, thank you again for the necklace. I really love it.

He smiled, I thought you would…….

Father God, show me great and mighty things that I do not know, please, they said jointly.

Then they broke out with a chuckle and huge grins.

Uri asked, so what is He showing you?  I know you got something. Come on, cough it up!  I want to know! Just like that old magazine, inquiring minds have got to know!

They both laughed and then took a sip.

Littlestone looked outside again to gather his thoughts and ask what he was okay to relay.

He paged through his journal.

After a couple of minutes, he spoke, well, I was reading in Corinthians about all things will be tested by fire. I mean all our works will be tested by fire as written in 1 Corinthians 3:11-16….

 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 

 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light.

It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 

If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 

If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

I asked Him about my own work? Is my work before Your eyes up to Your standard of You?  I mean, Lord, how can it be?  I am human and You are not!

I am still fallible and very much learning of You and Your ways, Lord.  Please allow me grace to know so I may change my ways.

Uri said, okay and……She looked at him exasperated, what did He say?

He said, His work is finished and I keep in His work and abide in Him.  Child, He said, abide in Me and My Word does the work mightily in you….. Christ in you is the work of conformity.  You speaking to Me and leaning on Me is  My desire as also you following what I  AM speaks… I AM does the rest.   The formula is to be in Me and I AM in you….Fire of My love burns all the dross away and what is left will be seen by all on My Day. The perfect work of My Spirit in My beloved people.

The work you do, Child, is not struggling to be something that you do not know how to be, but to see Me and know Me, from knowing Me, in all you do has it’s start in I AM. Then you shall walk from faith to faith and glory to glory ascending by I AM on high.

Do not be anxious, for all religion lays heavy burdens on you….But I AM is here to give My friends rest.

My fire, Christ in you, burns the flames of love to Our Father….. For those who think their works are great for all to see, My flames of fire will burn the outside to in…..What fruit is from Me shall remain.

Littlestone closed his journal.   He looked at her and said, I think, if our works are all on outside and there is no relationship with Him in our secret place, well, I think those works will be burned.

Our works for Him come from Him in our secret place….  No one else may ever notice or see, but He sees all…. I think the question to ask, who are doing this for? Where did it originate? His foundation or ours?

The foundation is Christ alone……..All else will be burned…..As it is also written in Colossians, Christ will be all and in all.

As it is written in 1 John 3:1-7:

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.  who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 

But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 

 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

Uri smiled; this is an awesome secret…. I always thought that passage in scripture were for those who have like big ministries, ministers or pastors, builders of His kingdom on this earth.  I never thought it had to do with my personal walk with Jesus Christ, as King of My heart.

Thanks for sharing that,….. I really mean it. I rather know now than be caught off guard at His Day.

Littlestone spoke, there are many out there, whether believers or not, who struggle to become something they are not.   When we turn and see Him, our consecration starts….. We continue in Him, by Him and for Him alone…. The transformation of and by His hand is from His finished work on the cross. Seeing Him is imperative…….

The work of His Spirit alone in us does the burning….. I rather burn now and not later, he finished chuckling.

Uri said, Okay, I have finished taking my notes…. What else did He show you?

Littlestone opened his mouth to continue on as he turned back some pages in his journal….

Well, Littlestone started, under the tree all the presents are torn apart quickly that were once wrapped with care….. The gifts are all opened, but are they? There are many that are still there?

The greatest Gift we have is in the Son of God…… believing in His Salvation for us, then receiving Him in our heart…. But then we must not be an Esau who bargained away his inheritance, his godly inheritance, for stew….or lesser things of this earth….

Our divine nature that has been given to us by our faith in Christ and the presence of His Spirit, is an awesome life that we have knowledge, power and gifts that many do not know and leave under the  tree, if you will, the cross and then the Tree of Life….

We live on this side of the resurrection, with His new life in us…. His life which is abundant and vibrant….. We are seated in Christ in the heavenlies…. We see things and know things that only be by the Spirit of God has given us to see and know……Then we pray and stand to see His goodness fill the earth. Or we stand and protect against the evil that has schemed to harm and destroy others unaware…. We must be diligent in our prayer life for others through His Spirit.

This is the real life in Christ alone…The divine life that we may live in and by here and now.  We must cross the Jordan or be in dwelt by His Spirit to operate by His Spirit….. This is part of our inheritance in Christ Jesus.

He opened his mouth to say, many are leaving their personalized gifts with their names on it under the tree of Jesus Christ, the Tree of Life—-

UNOPENED…

This should not be…..Belief is the key to open your heart to His Spirit to enter in and release the flood of His Spirit within….. each of His children.

And, he started to say……Do not be deceived, what we seek after in the flesh, we will receive. What we seek after in Him, we will continue to grow strong in great faith and believe all that can be is never impossible…. Just enter in and see Him and then you will know… All is possible to those who believe in God…. Just look up to Him and see…..HIM ALONE.

Uri was writing as fast as she could, and he waited to continue, but he had more to say…..

He started to show her………….

Tune in next time,  God is willing!

SELAH!

 

 

Littlestone was remembering the day for Joshua in Joshua chapter 5: 13:15: Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”

 “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord have for his servant?”

 The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Littlestone thought the Lord is for Himself because He will not deny Himself as written in 2 Timothy 2:11-13:  Here is a trustworthy saying:

If we died with him,
we will also live with him;
 if we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
 if we are faithless,
he remains faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.

So littlestone thought, if the Lord is faithful, and He is…. He is faithful to His Word…. He cannot deny Himself as written.  We as His followers must be faithful to Him at all costs.

He was studying the Word, waiting on Him, who knows the End from the Beginning. You showed up when the Israelites had just gone through circumcision, after You held back the waters of the Jordan…..and they crossed over into their promise land.

They had consecrated themselves to You…. Now, we are to circumcise our heart with You, the King of our hearts….to allow You to fill us with the living Word of God.

If You brought us out from the world to bring us in so we may take dominion over the land we live for You. Souls of mankind is Your desire.

You want to fill all and be in all as written in Colossians.

We must walk according to Your Word and obey the voice of Holy Spirit’s guidance.

We walk from victory.

By the Word of God, we walk.

By the Word of God, we talk.

By the Word of God, we live and breath and have our being.

By the Word of God, we rule and reign by Christ Jesus.

If we want the victory as in Israel’s victory in Jericho, then we must circumcise our hearts over the next days into the coming months as they turn into years.

Not much of a sacrifice to start the prayer and fasting after the holidays, he thought…..!!!!

But to lay down all our traditions, feasting and festivities.  We hear the trumpet call,  and know this is a somber and vital day to sit before Him and hear.

This is the sacrifice of our heart that will count to Him, who sees all and knows all…. He who usually takes a seat on the table near the neglected manger scene.

He also is in a storage room where His commands are etched in stone.

His name is not lifted up in prayer by the kids in the morning as it was by every school in the land as their day started,

Will it be soon the pledge of alligiance will be forbidden too?

There will be a time of feasting and celebrating but it is not the time…..

Wake up and hear Him……

Turn off the world and tune in Him alone…..

Father God, stop the clock until You see Your glory fill the earth and the waters fill the sea.

What a sacrifice of love to our King to just sit at His feet in prayer for the Day we call His birthday.

What if we turned off the traditions of the days that are coming.

What if we just spent time with Him and for Him to hear Him.

After all, this season is about Him and not us.

He is not on our side nor on our enemy’s side.

He is for Himself and His grace is allowing us to bring glory to His name in all we do, all we walk and all we talk.

If Christmas Day is about Him, America,….. and it IS for HE IS THE GREAT I AM.

Then let us hold our hearts before Him and spend the days before Him and quench the festivities…..

How bad do we want the land He has given us to be for Him?

It starts with us,…..and He alone has our future in His hands….

As we follow His Word and sit with Him, faith comes by hearing the Word……

What more mountains shall be moved by His grace and mercy ?

 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world, Galatians 6:14.

Tone down the days ahead and tune in to Him who holds all our days in His hands…. Loving hands, but He is God….

How bad do we want Him to have His rights restored in the land?

How bad do we want the violence against our kids stopped?

How much do we say we do, but do not sit before the One who sees all and knows all we need…..

He will supply all we need according to His riches in glory, if we believe.

Giving Him audience to know the way of Him in the coming days…..is imperative…..

Know His secrets and the enemies plans will be thwarted and back fire before our eyes.

If we say we love and do not do what He desires and commands…….?

How is our life of love to Him alone be revealed? Love Him with all we are and all we got, my paraphrase.

2 John 2:4-6: Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 

But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:  Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

Our King left many in His days on this earth. He went before His Father many hours for communion, how much more should we?

Littlestone was seeing his glass of understanding filling up before him on what was shown him over the last couple of days….

He parted the red sea before the wilderness, and the Jordan before Jericho, and after each one, it is written that they prepared themselves for battle.

He delivered them and set them where He wanted….

Then, told them to prepare for battle?

He thought, how weird as he would have been celebrating over the waters being divided before his eyes…..

It surprised him that they went into a battle mentality and also consecrated themselves to Him for three days instead of celebrating.

He thought, wow, if all the believers in this land for the Eve of His day, His day, and after, tuned off all and sat before Him in prayer….

Wow….

What consecration and honor, He would receive….Could we then be so cleansed of the world, we would be ready for the battle?

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus as stated in Philippians chapter 4, 19.

 

But He knew what was ahead of them….

They were told to consecrate themselves or circumcise themselves…..

Now we are to come before the Lord and pour our hearts out and allow the New Wine of His Spirit to be filling us up to overflow…

So we may be walking out these days as written in Ephesians 1:19-23:

according to the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe according of His mighty power which he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,  far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.  And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in everything in everyway.

 

He could hear the people’s objections about the festivities and celebrations that might be toned down, or stopped.

Then he thought, what a legacy to give your children….

Hey, this year is different.

We have been given a great window of opportunity of grace and mercy from our God. We must respect Him and honor and gather at His feet as the saints still do this day.

We must give Him our time today after all, it is His birthday……

Then, when the waters part and things of heaven are revealed on this earth…. Then they shall see the God of glory in their midst…..

Can we be bold as Joshua was and take the land?…

Father God, stop the clock until we do…

Speak His Word in prayer and declarations around as if we were walking around Jericho and then on the fulfilled day, watch the walls fall down of strongholds of darkness.

I double dog dare all to partake as His sons and daughters should be apart of their Father’s business.

Celebrate His Day as He desires!

Be bold and courageous, for He is with us,……. Immanuel…..

But He is still for HIMSELF and HIS GLORY!!

Now His sons and daughters are for Him and His glory.

SELAH!

 

 

 

 

Great work equals great opposition thought Littlestone as he was understanding the times that surround us.

He prayed for all of his brothers and sisters that are being persecuted  globallyfor being His people and showing others the way of Jesus.  He knows from his own experience that many people rather choose the wide path of destruction than turn their heart and ear to the One who has called them with an everlasting love.

Pride is a pair of glasses: one side is of delusion and the other side is deception. Together the view engages the gate opener to destruction. Destruction is now and then forever…… God will not be mocked as scripture speaks in Galatians 6:7-8: Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Littlestone also thought how the fear of man can lead into spiral of a downward slope. He remembered the word of his King in John 12:42-43: Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;  for they loved human praise more than praise from God.

He thought they better love the honor because it will be for eternity. It can be the neighbors or the work place, that the voice of Truth bows to the fear of man.

He has witnessed not much talk of Holy Spirit working through as He has been placed as a Governor overseeing the purification and sanctification of the “stone pots”, us, which Jesus Christ turned from water to wine…… Alas, maybe because the cross at work within each of His saints is welcomed, but not so much regretfully within the congregations that meet on Sunday. This should not be……The cross of Christ is our liberty and freedom in His Spirit….. Christ in me is my hope of glory…..

Romans 12: 1-2 speaks loudly as to the life we are to be living now if we have the guarantee of Holy Spirit….. He thought Ephesians 1:14 speaks:  The Holy Spirit is the down payment on our inheritance, which is applied toward our redemption as God’s own people, resulting in the honor of God’s glory.

Littlestone found the scripture as he was reading it, he thought,….hmmmm,….. so there is a much fuller or a completed deal to be received of our inheritance…..

Could that be the fullness of Christ?……

If so, then how much more should we be living as Romans 12:1-2 this day….. Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 

 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Littlestone opened the Word to Hebrews chapter two:

For this reason [that is, because of God’s final revelation in His Son Jesus and because of Jesus’ superiority to the angels] we must pay much closer attention than ever to the things that we have heard, so that we do not [in any way] drift away from truth. 

For if the message given ^[b]through angels [the Law given to Moses] was authentic and unalterable, and every violation and disobedient act received an appropriate penalty,  how will we escape [the penalty] if we ignore such a great salvation [the gospel, the new covenant]?

For it was spoken at first by the Lord, and it was confirmed to us and proved authentic by those who personally heard [Him speak], 

[and besides this evidence] God also testifying with them [confirming the message of salvation], both by signs and wonders and by various miracles [carried out by Jesus and the apostles] and by [granting to believers the] gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.

It was not to angels that God subjected the [inhabited] world of the future [when Christ reigns], about which we are speaking. ⁶ But one has [solemnly] testified somewhere [in Scripture], saying,

“What is man, that You are mindful of him,
Or the son of man, that You graciously care for him?

“You have made him for a little while lower [in status] than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
^[c]And set him over the works of Your hands;

You have put all things in subjection under his feet [confirming his supremacy].”

Now in putting all things in subjection to man, He left nothing outside his control. But at present we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while [by taking on the limitations of humanity], crowned with glory and honor because of His suffering of death, so that by the grace of God [extended to sinners] He might experience death for [the sins of] everyone.

 For it was fitting for God [that is, an act worthy of His divine nature] that He, for whose sake are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the ^[d]author and founder of their salvation perfect through suffering [bringing to maturity the human experience necessary for Him to be perfectly equipped for His office as High Priest].

 Both Jesus who sanctifies and those who are sanctified [that is, spiritually transformed, made holy, and set apart for God’s purpose] are all from one Father; for this reason He is not ashamed to call them ^[e]brothers and sisters, 

saying,

“I will declare Your (the Father’s) name to My brethren (believers),
In the midst of the congregation I will sing Your praise.”

 And again He says,

“My trust and confident hope will be placed in Him.”

And again,

“Here I am, I and the children whom God has given Me.”

 Therefore, since [these His] children share in flesh and blood [the physical nature of mankind], He Himself in a similar manner also shared in the same [physical nature, but without sin], so that through [experiencing] death He might make powerless (ineffective, impotent) him who had the power of death—that is, the devil— 

and [that He] might free all those who through [the haunting] fear of death were held in slavery throughout their lives. 

 For, as we all know, He (Christ) does not take hold of [the fallen] angels [to give them a helping hand], but He does take hold of [the fallen] descendants of Abraham [extending to them His hand of deliverance]. 

 Therefore, it was essential that He had to be made like His brothers (mankind) in every respect, so that He might [by experience] become a merciful and faithful High Priest in things related to God, to make atonement (propitiation) for the people’s sins [thereby wiping away the sin, satisfying divine justice, and providing a way of reconciliation between God and mankind]. 

 Because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted, He is able to help and provide immediate assistance to those who are being tempted and exposed to suffering.

Littlestone smiled to himself as he read thereby wiping away the sins, satisfying divine justice, and providing a way of reconciliation between God and mankind……How he thought so many people bring up people sins and never bring up the power of the blood of Jesus that wiped them away. Yet, we have been given His Spirit within us with His divine nature, the power of God within us to live a very holy and transformed life from Him in the heavenly realm…We live in the heavenly realm abiding in Christ and Christ lives in us as we are on this earth…… It is a mystery but it is the life we live now as believers in our Great King and Heavenly Father God.

He knew and knows that it takes Christ in me to love God with my whole heart. Living a life and a heart that is consecrated to God takes courage, endurance and patience.

Littlestone also thought, if we are really loving our God above all things…. Then, we would be living a life thinking of Him. Talking to Him on all things. He knew to live a life pleasing his King was important. It was his purpose and goal…. He was His follower…. ….

He continued his thoughts in living a life consecrated unto God, will create much opposition. The same evil that ran after his King to find fault and persecute is the same evil that hunts after His saints today.

However, thanks be to God, that whatever the devil means for harm, God turns to God for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose…. As Romans 8:28-39:

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 

 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 

 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?  

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 

 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 

 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 

 As it is written:

“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 

 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Littlestone wondered the last time he heard that taught and preached on a Sunday morning. If time is short, we must know where we are in Him……

Then he heard….. There are ones who are hungry, which shall be filled…..There are those who are for show and the honor of men are greater then their hunger for I AM.  Then there are those who play the harlot and deceive themselves as going to a building once a week will bargain their eternal life in I AM.

Littlestone waited quietly as he did not expect his King to answer his thoughts….

But He did.  He answers yours too….. Psalm 139…..He is here with you…..now. Speak to Him…..

O Lord, you have searched me [thoroughly] and have known me.
 You know when I sit down and when I rise up [my entire life, everything I do];
You understand my thought from afar.
You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And You are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue [still unspoken],
Behold, O Lord, You know it all.
You have enclosed me behind and before,
And [You have] placed Your hand upon me.

Such [infinite] knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high [above me], I cannot reach it.

Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), behold, You are there.
^{If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will take hold of me.}

^{If I say, “Surely the darkness will cover me,}

^{And the night will be the only light around me,”
Even the darkness is not dark to You and conceals nothing from You,
But the night shines as bright as the day;
Darkness and light are alike to You.}

^{For You formed my innermost parts;
You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was being formed in secret,
And intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth.}

^{Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were appointed for me,
When as yet there was not one of them [even taking shape].}

^{How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
If I could count them, they would outnumber the sand.
When I awake, I am still with You.}

^{[that You would kill the wicked, O God;
Go away from me, therefore, men of bloodshed.
For they speak against You wickedly,
Your enemies take Your name in vain.1
Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?}

^{I hate them with perfect and utmost hatred;
They have become my enemies.}

^{Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart;
Test me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.}

 Listen, write, find scripture to be in accord…. Then again,  listen and write and ask some more and find the words He speaks in His word…

Walk and talk with the Lord today because we are not guaranteed tomorrow.

You need to know Him….. Come to His cross, if you have not yet.  We can go to the cross very often for it is our way and His……

Use today for knowing Him and He to know you and whose house you are.

His voice cuts the hard stuff and melts them away…. His voice is powerful! Hear Him as a sheep of His should!

 

SELAH!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Littlestone was riding again up to the His Meeting Place.  Aalyiah was very frisky in the cold weather as the temperature dropped significantly as they ascended to meet with his King….

His face was burning as they trotted up the hill. The cold wind was stimulating his being. He took in the bright sun rising in a clear sky ahead of him. Just as he took in a deep cold breath,  Aalyiah spooked and jumped sideways as a deer with a large set of antlers lifted his head…..

Littlestone patted her neck and comforted her.  He gently said, it is okay, I know you thought it was a bush and then it moved to a big horse with sticks coming out of his head….He smiled as he chuckled. She sneezed trying to shrug off her embarrassment of getting startled.

They reached their destination as he hopped off her. He released the bridle and put the halter on to allow her to graze and cool off.  They both heard the babbling brook sing her song out to her Creator.

The flow of His river will never stop. Top of the mountain to the valley, His river bellows forth. Bringing His refreshing water to every soul. Singing out, I am sent from Him who holds me in His hand…. I am sent to bring the healing of many that have kneeled to Him alone.   Here I go and here I am filling the hearts of man.

He sat and listened to her song as the song was loud and the birds joined in with their medley to their King. It was a beautiful orchestra thought Littlestone.

He opened his journal and read all that had happened over the last four months.  He remembered many a night and hungry day staying in front of Him in prayer.

The world was changed in an instant, His hand of mercy sprayed it’s rays over the lands. Healing has begun and all will see His glory now and again.  The talk and rumors of wars will be halted by the kindness of His hand in strength, hoping in his heart, thought Littlestone.

But the war will always be between evil and His reign over His creation.  He wondered how many wars could be halted if the saints stayed in position of quietness before Him and interceded.  Some jump up in victory as they think the battle is won, but alas, he thought, a battle has been won but the war is still going on.

He prayed to His King for the holidays not to get people off their knees…..

Yes, he thought, we celebrate that You gave us Your Son…… Your Son has been given….. Your Son has died and has risen….. He now sits above all in His throne…..

Those who listen to the stillness, can hear His cry to His beloved, Come up here!

He prayed, Father God, please allow the people who call on Your Son’s name, to know above all, we have been brought up to His throne.  We are seated now in the heavenly places learning and speaking what we hear….. Our place is not to leave but to remain there.

Set our eyes on things above where we are seated with the Heavenly One.

Don’t get distracted by earthly things that will vanish before the year that begins brings.

May we know this may be the Christmas that His river runs through us again and again….

Father, awaken us to know we must remain faithful to the post You have called us….May You be so pleased to see all the saints coming to their knees. They have heeded the call and are coming up to You because they believe…. Their place with You is where You are…..

What better place to be, then to be sitting at Your feet.  Seeing Your smile looking at us and then turning Your eyes to the place of trouble…

He said:

“The Lord came from Sinai
    and dawned over them from Seir;
    he shone forth from Mount Paran.
He came with myriads of holy ones
    from the south, from his mountain slopes.^[b]
3 Surely it is you who love the people;
    all the holy ones are in your hand.
At your feet they all bow down,
    and from you receive instruction, Deuteronomy 33:2-3.

We know our prayers in diligence bring peace and comfort to those in despair.

Our prayers are as arrows going forth by His hand to those who need His help as we lend our hand, really a prayer.  These touches of our King are known by the hearts He pours His love in and He is the One who glory we lift up.

The gift of sitting where He is in faith and following His Spirit not by sight nor by power but by the Spirit is His way and glory to God that we partake.

Great is the gift of salvation given to us. But how much more do You have in store for us, My King.

Our purpose is greater than not going to hell. Oh no, awaken our eyes and see that Your purpose in us and through us must be complete.  We do not want to frustrate the King as His body, we must obey our Head and be obedient and go where and speak where and kneel here as He commands.

The wilderness always leads us to Your land. In Christ, we live, move and have our being. In Christ, where we abide and there is more to know than will ever meet our eyes.

He is the head and we are complete in Him as Colossians speaks. Ride His Spirit into the unknown and follow our faith to faith and glory to glory trail in His throne. Who knows but we may be answering the high calling of God in Christ Jesus this day….. Do not delay… Seek and know Him today….. The wise are still seeking Him this way.

Do not look back and do not hesitate, we must not be late… Come all who call on the King of glory.

Has He entered your heart to reign?

Has He been given all authority within and without the place of your feet?

Listen, shhh, listen……. Hear His whisper calling your name?

Listen now and turn….. Turn your heart open to Him…

He is not a baby any longer….

He is not in a grave any longer…..

Hear His roar as He is King over all!

Littlestone was writing down all that was flying through his head. He did not want to miss one word that Holy Spirit said.

Then He heard a beautiful song of praise toward the One who shines brighter than the sun. 

Listen……

Keep the place He has called you to be, up here at His feet….. It is His throne, please believe.

Selah!

Littlestone had camped out on His meeting hill. He had been there for awhile living in a tent.

He had been there with thunder and lightning striking around like fireworks…..They were God’s show as well as strong force winds. He had stayed through them all to see and hear what his King was showing him. All the time thinking who can or even thinks He can mess around against a God like this God.

His words were as a hammer and strong enough to engrave unto any heart that turned to Him.

Many and many and many are called but few are chosen, he thought to himself.  His King was calling and calling all to come home to Him in every breath and word he heard.

Littlestone heard sirens from way up on the hill though the eclectic noise was sounding the alarm from down in town.

Sirens sound for an alarm to the people to get in for cover.

God calls all to get into His Son for cover….. Cover from their sins…..Come into His Son for rest and assurance of the power of death and hell is annulled….. Yet, there is more…..But, will they hear the trumpet of heaven sound?….  Are the continuous babble from below hiding the most important sound any one can hear on this earth? 

Father, Lord God Almighty, thank You for Your grace to fall abundantly on all so they may turn to hear and receive Your Son….. Turn from their wicked ways…..Made new and washed clean by His blood.

The kingdom of God is within those who believe in his King….. The redemption of God has drawn near…

Found in His holy Son, the King of all kings and lord of all lords, even presidents are included, he thought.

Only way to the kingdom is through His Son.  All bow to the Son now or later, but all will bow.

He is the Eternal Son of the Living God who ransomed us all by His shedding of blood for us. He atoned our sins by His blood…. He has made a place for those who call on His name.   A secret place in the Most High Almighty.

The destruction of the things that are seen, will not harm those found in the Secret Place of the Most High….. They abide in Him, the Eternal Son of God. 

He is calling all to come out of the babble of the world and die to the world. We lose the world, but gain Christ…. Littlestone thought no brainer here!

Be found alive and thriving in Him…. The Word of God which never fails or will fade.  This King shall always increase for He is the government of God Almighty.

As written in Jeremiah 25:4,5,6,7,30,31:

And though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you again and again, you have not listened or paid any attention. 

They said, “Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and your evil practices, and you can stay in the land the Lord gave to you and your ancestors for ever and ever. 

Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them; do not arouse my anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you.”

“But you did not listen to me,” declares the Lord, “and you have aroused my anger with what your hands have made, and you have brought harm to yourselves.”

“Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them:

“‘The Lord will roar from on high;
    he will thunder from his holy dwelling
    and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread the grapes,
    shout against all who live on the earth.
The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for the Lord will bring charges against the nations;
he will bring judgment on all mankind
    and put the wicked to the sword,’”
declares the Lord.

This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Look! Disaster is spreading
    from nation to nation;
a mighty storm is rising
    from the ends of the earth.”

Now reform your ways and your actions and obey the Lord your God. Then the Lord will relent and not bring the disaster he has pronounced against you, pleads the Lord written in Jeremiah 26:13 through His servant.

Littlestone knew the Old Testament is always confirmed in the New Testament as written in Acts 3:19-20:.

So repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins] and return [to God—seek His purpose for your life], so that your sins may be wiped away [blotted out, completely erased], so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord [restoring you like a cool wind on a hot day]; and that He may send [to you] Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you.

Littlestone knew the message was not going to please people as it was not like a Hallmark movie scenario. 

God means what He says and says what He means.  What religion has depicted of His King as a mild Shepherd holding a docile lamb in His arms is what He is to His Heavenly Father, but to the world and His enemies, He is the King of all. He is the Lion of Judah which portray His eyes of fire…..

Who can withstand his King Warrior. 

He thought to the weak, He is their Strength;

To the contrite of heart, He is their Comfort;

To the weary, He is their Life, Eternal Life and Breath;

To the fighter, He is their Warrior Leader, who never loses a battle and never will;

To the lost, He is their Light leading them to Him;

To the hungry, He is their Food for ever;

To the thirsty, He is their Sustenance that will never fail;

To the proud, He is far away;

To the liar, He is their opposing Force of Truth;

To the dying, He is their Eternal life if they call on Him.;

To those in the fire, He is their Ignition to be His alone.

Jesus Christ is all anyone needs at anytime.. He is our Answer for everything…..

Come and meet My King thought Littlestone…. See Him. Know Him. Love Him. 

His eyes of fire are of a love for all that has never been quenched.

Acts 4:10-13:

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

But Peter and John replied to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you and obey you rather than God, you must judge [for yourselves]; 

for we, on our part, cannot stop telling [people] about what we have seen and heard.”

Acts 4:24-31:

And when they heard it, they raised their voices together to God and said,

 “O Sovereign Lord [having complete power and authority], it is You who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything that is in them, who by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David, Your servant, said,

‘Why did the nations (Gentiles) become arrogant and rage,
And the peoples devise futile things [against the Lord]?

‘The kings of the earth took their stand [to attack],
And the rulers were assembled together
Against the Lord and against His Anointed (the Christ, the Messiah).’

For in this city there were gathered together against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined [before the creation of the world] to occur [and so without knowing it, they served Your own purpose]. 

And now, Lord, observe their threats [take them into account] and grant that Your bond-servants may declare Your message [of salvation] with great confidence,

while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders (attesting miracles) take place through the name [and the authority and power] of Your holy Servant and Son Jesus.” 

And when they had prayed, the place where they were meeting together was shaken [a sign of God’s presence]; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness and courage.

Littlestone thought what was then, will be again and is now before all. Where and for Whom do we stand?…..He came then and now is and will ever be….. He in us is our hope of glory…. His Spirit gives us His Words and His strength and His boldness…. We speak as His Spirit utters within us….

Psalm 2

Why do the nations conspire^[a]
    and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth rise up
    and the rulers band together
    against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
“Let us break their chains
    and throw off their shackles.”

The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
    the Lord scoffs at them.
He rebukes them in his anger
    and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
“I have installed my king
    on Zion, my holy mountain.”

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
    today I have become your father.
Ask me,
    and I will make the nations your inheritance,
    the ends of the earth your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron^[b];
    you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

Therefore, you kings, be wise;
    be warned, you rulers of the earth.

Serve the Lord with fear
    and celebrate his rule with trembling.
Kiss his son, or he will be angry
    and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
    Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Littlestone lifted his head and looked to the One who never was created…. Father, God of all, You are worthy of all our love, praise and adoration.

You are worthy of all to turn Your way and behold Your Son in total thanksgiving.

May Your endless grace fall on the earth this night and be like eye salve in all eyes and ear drops that drip into the ear of our spirit. May the night visions be plentiful as they awake to Your hand of love laid upon their hearts. May they all hear again their call to their place in Your Son. Then turn and be clothed in Your blood and made new… and alive in their Spirit. For behold, You then dwell there by Your Spirit.

May they know the Truth of Your Son for each person and their salvation.

May they receive the newness of Your life offered to them.

May they see the great price of turning away from You.

May they awaken to Your love found in Your Son.

May they see His face and behold His hands.

May they see His smile and arms wide open for their turning.

May the land now be healed.

In Jesus Christ’s name, I ask and thank You.

May the healing begin and the lies be known as lies.

May all now know what is good is good and what is evil is evil.

Repent and receive the refreshing from His hand this day….

For His Day is at hand……

Prayer and His grace may turn the hearts to Him. 

All hearts out from all nations, tribe and tongues.

If not, may God protect all the warriors in the battle. Psalm 91 be over and in of every one of them.

Please pray and intercede.

SELAH!!

Romans 16:25-27: Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from^[f] faith— to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

Romans 15:4-6:

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Open our heart gates and let Him in…. Who? Why the Mighty King of Glory…. Don’t you know Him?

Psalm 24

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
    the world, and all who live in it;
for he founded it on the seas
    and established it on the waters.

Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?
    Who may stand in his holy place?
The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
    who does not trust in an idol
    or swear by a false god.^[a]

They will receive blessing from the Lord
    and vindication from God their Savior.
Such is the generation of those who seek him,
    who seek your face, God of Jacob.^[b][c]

Lift up your heads, you gates;
    be lifted up, you ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord strong and mighty,
    the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, you gates;
    lift them up, you ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.
Who is he, this King of glory?
    The Lord Almighty—
    he is the King of glory.

SELAH!

Littlestone saw things were never to be as they were. He kept sensing great change.

He was hearing two different messages…. One that his King was giving to him and the message from the believers hoping. He was hearing hope in temporal world would change…..

Hebrews 7:17-20 speaks of the hope of all believers…..

Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath.  God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. 

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,  where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

As stated in Romans 8:17 explaining who are the heirs of God:

 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 

 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 

 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that^[a] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 

 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 

 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who^[b] have been called according to his purpose.

 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 

 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.

Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

He asked his King and Holy Spirit what is the truth regarding the buzz word of revival?…. You are the Truth and our Life …… You are our hope and future.

He spent many days before Him and studied the scriptures that came up before Him.

He thought to himself as he was looking out over the horizon.

Then he heard, let them know the Day of the Lord is at hand.

I AM is knocking on their door this day. The next day they may be knocking at My Door and it shall be too late.

As written in Isaiah 2:17-21:

And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he arise to shake terribly the earth.^.

In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he arise to shake terribly the earth.

I AM is gracious and long suffering and welcome all who come to Me now, this day when you hear My voice,… come to Me and I AM will hold you and wash you clean in My blood to become Mine.

Revive the hearts that have gone cold to know My Day is approaching.

The Day where I AM comes to claim My own. Revive all by this knowledge, My Day is at hand.

After Littlestone had finished writing what he had heard, he thought…….

He knew Jesus Christ is our Jubilee but Littlestone wondered if God Almighty had His own Jubilee in restoring all that is as it was in the Beginning…..Calling forth Light again over the chaos of the earth.

He looked the word fifty in Hebrew language….. In Hebrew this word showed meaning to express transcendence. The universe that lies beyond what is directly visible to the natural world.

It was written that slaves go free and the land is returned to the original owner…. Hmmm. He thought God, our Father, is the original Owner.

Do we hear the trumpet blast?…Jubilee is also a call for battle…. for liberty.

He continued on this thought on hearing His voice saying claiming My own….

Blow the trumpet sound the alarm, prepare our heart for the feast……

The Day of the Lord is at hand.

Hebrews 11:1-3 and 7:

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.^.

This is what the ancients were commended for.

 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.

Littlestone kept meditating….. Things that may appear now will not be, as those things which are hidden are manifest for all to see…..for all eternity.

He thought, including our God and His Son…All that we did for love and did not do for love will be made manifest too.

All things will be made manifest that are hidden and the things that are will not be.

The day of the Lord is at hand.

If our hearts and others are being prepared for the Day of the Lord which is at hand, may be true revival will be here. Holy Spirit alone revives our hearts from the dead.

They are not made for revival’s sake but for the preparation of the Day of our King.

The earth was being prepared for the flood many years ago.

The earth now is being prepared for fire as written.

He was writing all these scriptures down as they appeared before Littlestone.

 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”^[a]

 Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. 

 People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them. 

 For the Son of Man in his day^[b] will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. ²⁵ But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man.

People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

 “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 

 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.

 Remember Lot’s wife! 

 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.

 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 

 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.” ^[36] [c]

 “Where, Lord?” they asked.

He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”

He thought how hard it would be to have knowledge of Him without knowing Him.

He thought of his friend Uri. He had grown to like her as he got to know her from that first day of seeing her sing praise to her God riding, no more like flying, on her horse as he saw lightning bolting from her to the heavens.

He was a bit intimidated when he first went to talk to her, but as he got to know her, he liked her and respected her….. How many people are not getting to know You, my King.

You want to have fellowship with Your kids….. May they have eyes and a heart to seek Your companionship in their lives.  They are missing out on so much as Littlestone concluded his prayer.

He remembered the kind Old Man with white hair that told him about this special King that ruled the world, but was hidden from sight until a special Day.

He remembered how this special Old Man revealed to Littlestone, this Special King carrying a wooded stake that He was going to be nailed upon…. He remembered how suddenly Littlestone was before Him on the road. This King recognized Littlestone and smiled to him….. Littlestone stood back  as he was very uncomfortable since he did not know this Man, yet this King knew him…. He never forgot the words this King spoke….

I am so glad you are here. I have been waiting for you,.  I love you.  I am dying today and rising so you may rise with I AM and live in I AM.  I have great joy in seeing you here today.

Those words pierced Littlestone’s heart and never left him to be the same. He had to know this King…… He was so upset to watch all that happened to this King as they nailed His hands and feet to this wood stake….. He had been beaten badly and had a crown of thorns on His head…. He died, but He rose from the dead.

The Old Man had brought Littlestone to see the whole story.

He remembered watching as if it had just happened this day….. He had many questions for this kind Old Man with the white hair…..

The sweet Man answered them all in front of many fires at night and under the cloud by day…..This Old Man opened his Ancient Book to be alive right in front of him.

Littlestone awoke from His memories of the greatest story that he had been a witness.

This King had sent His Witness to me, he thought, to learn all about my God and His Son.

Tears of thanksgiving fell down his face as he remembered all the love and adventure he had been on over the years. He also felt a renewed sense of loyalty to be with the King through day and every night until His Day dawned as the Morningstar.

He just thought of all the people that laughed and mocked Noah when he built the ark.

The day the rains started and never stopped, there was no turning around or coming back to Noah…….and to repent to God.

It was too late for that generation.

All those questions that Littlestone had-have been answered, but as Littlestone knows more of his King, he has many more questions…. He smiled in thanksgiving to the greatest adventure of his life is be with his King and know the living Ancient Book that he found many days ago.

Prepare you the way of the Lord…. Every mountain will be made low and every valley will be made high…

Be prepared for the Day of our King.  The Day of Jubilee for our Heavenly Father.

Can we all plan for the celebration of His Day? It is not a party but truly a celebration.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

Hear the voice of His heart in love crying out to all to leave their wicked ways behind and be comforted in His love and His blood and His flesh. Turn from death to life.

Turn to Him today……There may not be a chance in the morrow.

Selah!

There is a day held apart for the Justice of God. The sentence of the Judgement of God is not for a certain period in jail…. It is eternal residence in the lake of fire……The soul will never rest as when you are in the Son of God, we abide in His peace. Those who turn a deaf ear and continue to live a wicked life shall die and resurrect to eternal condemnation.

May it not be too late for all who have ears to hear and eyes to see what is not seen but known by His Spirit.

The Day of the Lord is at hand……Answer the One who has your number and still calls for you to come to His home.

Littlestone heard a Voice speaking of Psalm 2:

Why are the ^[a]nations in an ^[b]uproar [in turmoil against God],
And why do the people devise a vain and hopeless plot?

The kings of the earth take their stand;
And the rulers take counsel together
Against the Lord and His Anointed (the Davidic King, the Messiah, the Christ), saying,

“Let us break apart their [divine] bands [of restraint]
And cast away their cords [of control] from us.”

 
He who sits [enthroned] in the heavens laughs [at their rebellion];
The [Sovereign] ^[c]Lord scoffs at them [and in supreme contempt He mocks them].
 
Then He will speak to them in His [profound] anger
And terrify them with His displeasure, saying,

“Yet as for Me, I have anointed and firmly installed My King
Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”

“I will declare the decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are My Son;
This day [I proclaim] I have begotten You.

Ask of Me, and I will assuredly give [You] the nations as Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth as Your possession.

‘You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall shatter them [in pieces] like earthenware.’”

 
Now therefore, O kings, act wisely;
Be instructed and take warning, O leaders (judges, rulers) of the earth.

Worship the Lord and serve Him with reverence [with awe-inspired fear and submissive wonder];
Rejoice [yet do so] with trembling.

 
Kiss (pay respect to) the ^[d]Son, so that He does not become angry, and you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled and set aflame.

How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] are all those who take refuge in Him.

Littlestone always remembered scriptures as ASK….

Ask and keep on asking….

Seek and keep on seeking…..

Knock and keep on knocking……. Our God is good, he thought, and He will always show His goodness in the land of the living…..

Do you have an eye after Him to see?

Do you have an understanding of Him to know His hand?

Do you have an ear to hear His footsteps approaching at our time?

So in thinking along this line….. KISS the Son……

Keep it simple stupid came to Littlestone’s mind.

Yes, foolish is the one who would lift their fist against the King of all.

Kiss and bow before the One now that all knees will bow now and forever….

Bow now and know His goodness and mercy.

Bow now and experience His great love and power.

Bow now and hear His voice.

Bow now and walk through His storms.

Bow now and live in His joy.

Bow now and walk in His blood and be cleansed.

Bow now and be free in Him to be all He has planned for you to be.

Bow now and see His face.

Bow now and know His secrets that are coming to light.

Bow now and sit at His feet and learn of the One who loves us without end.

Bow now and do not be foolish and ignorant of God’s Son and live your own way.

Colossians 1:9-29 is where Littlestone sat and read and studied these verses:

 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. 

We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit give,

 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,  

being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,

 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you^[f] to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. 

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, ¹⁴ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 

 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of^[g] your evil behavior. 

But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 

 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel.

This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. 

 I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness—  the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.

 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. 

 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me mightily.

How foolish is a man who walks in dark deeds and assumes God will not hold him or her accountable.

How foolish is man or woman who thinks they may stop a fire with their own hands.

How foolish is a man or woman who thinks they may stop a storm with their own hands….. or even think they may start the rain or tell the wind to blow in a way.

Can we start the rain?

Can we start the wind?

Bow and Kiss the Son who has been given to us from our great God.  Are you His?

Is He yours?

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding that we may walk worthy of the Lord,  fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, (Colossians 1:9-10).

Selah!!
