Stay strong, allow the pressure to deepen you…
Matt 7: 6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Ever share something, straight from the throne of God, that you know for a fact, that God clearly showed you? Something beautiful, awesome, pure, perhaps to wonderful in its childlike simplicity, that you are still in wonder, awe, reverence, and faith, having seen the Creator of the Universe, and something revelatory, that He had planned for this generation…..
So, like an excited child, you tell your friends, your prayer partners, perhaps your pastor, and suddenly you discover that God had not shown them what you have seen or heard, and instead of rejoicing and igniting their faith, to believe along with you, they at best, distain you and your revelation, and probably you along with it. You become the faith-flake, the hyper faith person, too spiritual to be any earthly good, and they trample that which is true, precious, holy, sacred, under their religious feet, and if you are not careful, you along with it.
I’ve learned, that if I can maintain joy and faith, in the face of this incessant fountain of sarcasm, cynicism, put-downs, derogatory insinuations, and evil, twisted, perverse words, that immediately threaten to discredit, discourage, contradict, usurp the very faith-filled decrees I utter each day, that I can only wonder what life might be like, with a little bit of love, encouragement, agreement, and like precious faith, added to mine.
Sometimes, the loneliest place on earth, is in a crowd…
You know, see, hear, and perceive certain things, that are totally foreign to those around you, and you MUST guard your heart, and learn like Mary, to ponder things in our hearts, and to not share them with people, any people, unless God gives you liberty….
Hence my understanding is enlightened again of the silence, of the traditionally stoic North American Indian.
It is not that they have nothing to say: in fact, they have much, much to say, that will heal this nation, and the nations of the earth, if we could only shut up, listen, and view what they say, through the Scripture, instead of our culture, and our traditional views of worship….
Today, again, I had yet another power encounter with Holy Spirit, and my Father, where I got alone, and wept, until I could weep no more…
Each time I discover, that He knows, He understands, He loves, and He answers in power, making the impossible, possible.
Without Him, personally meeting with me, I become dry, legalistic, weary in well doing, frustrated…
Yet, His presence, His voice, His power, are the only answer for desperate times, for the defilement, others would seek to drag me down to…
I would be holy…
How about you?
Let’s pray:
‘Father, meet with me today, Your child. Daddy, Creator, Holy and Great One, rip through my walls, my pain. You see and have seen, You know, help me, make me strong, so that which I see and desire to walk in is ever rooted in the strong muscles of faith, deeply working in my heart, my words, my deeds. Give me grace to not respond to their unbelief, fear, destruction, and distain, to love, unconditionally, in Your Mighty and matchless name I pray Lord Jesus, Yeshua, My King, AMEN!’
