Beware of the
Vanity of Information
Beware
of the vanity of information. I am the
great revelator. I unravel
mysteries. I explain deep sayings. Yet My people run upon My word with the
anticipation of one taking the spoils of war.
I will make myself known to whomsoever I will. Still, I have chosen the simple, the base,
and the common to place My glory in.
Wisdom
that comes out of Relationship
Many
relish the wisdom of words but the wisdom that I give is the timeless wisdom of
understanding through relationship. This
is not the superficial knowledge of adding ones words to the words of his
neighbor. This is the wisdom that comes
out of the intimate communion of friends.
The land is filled with volumes of formulas, antidotes, parables, and
witty sayings about Me…My ways…My domain…My Kingdom. Yet My people seek understanding apart from
the discourse of intimacy with Me, the King.
The
privilege of the Blood Bought Way
I
have, through the blood of My son, given you access to Me. You have the privilege of stepping outside
the confines of time to commune in eternal truth. You have the privilege of direct interaction
and fellowship with Me. Others in times
past have longed for the entrance you have.
Yet you don’t use what I have given.
You opt for religious rhetoric, powerless gatherings, and vain forms
over Me.
Saved
to Sit Among Princes
I
have saved you to call you up to sit among the princes of legend in My Kingdom. However, the only way to take your place is
in a daily face to face with Me. For My
presence is transforming. If any man
will come after Me let him deny himself!
Where is your self denial? You
must eat My flesh and drink My blood!
Where is you hunger for Me and My ways?
Satisfied
or Snared
You
have become satisfied with the placebo of the Greeks for they were ever
learning. You have become snared with
the snare of
Finding
the Fountain of Life
My
life is found in the simple places and the quiet times. You don’t need to strive for it. You just need to come aside for it. Alone in the quiet place…a mountain, a stream
bed, under an oak, in a closet, in the stillness, when the rush is placed on
pause…I am there. Come and drink of Me. Come and eat of My fruit. I am calling you … pause and come with Me. Aren’t you tired of seconds, hand Me downs,
and leftovers. I have the fresh and the
new awaiting you. Come and draw on the
rich deposit I have set aside … just for you before the world was. I have time for you. Won’t you come and take time for Me. Not for a work. Not to develop a teaching. Not for a project in church life but because
you love Me and desire to be with Me. I
am waiting. I have the time.
