Taking The Rainbow Back

-

 There's no sense in making friends with the world.  Lord, i would never dream of becoming Your enemy again.  Thank You for welcoming me home.  If You want, i will sing at Your Wedding.  Or i will recite a poem that glorifies You.  Your Holy Spirit which dwells in me may yearn as jealously as You wish.  i have had the yearning to wear the Taking The Rainbow Back, and i've been doing it since Independence Day.  And have i ever felt free!  i've felt it even when i roamed the quiet, empty streets and as i sat alone at the public library!  i'm sure more than one person took note at the website address displayed on it!  And the glory goes to the Lord.


...like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance.  And around the throne was a rainbow in appearance like an emerald... 

i'm guilty of thinking evil of my brethren.  Just because i speak no evil doesn't pardon me.  Lord, help me to have Your light in my heart.  You are the One and Only Lawgiver.  It's about You, not me, not them.  May i out of my poverty, my modest income, put in the first fruits of my increase.  i know You will bless the rest because You promised.  That is the ever increasing faith i have for You.  And now, i want to begin to commune with You more and more each day.  Just typing this to You now helps me in doing that.   

"Take heed that you are not deceived for many will come in My name saying, 'I am He,' and 'The time has drawn near.' Therefore do not go after them.  But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to past first, but the end will not come immediately." -[Luke 21:7-8]  i will be brought up before those who oppress me and bring affliction upon me, and like You, my mouth will not be opened.  What past they try to bring up from these pages shall make my testimony that much easier.

Broiled Fish and Some Honeycomb

 As He taught them a shadow of the cross fell across the old testament and their "eyes were opened."  He was that ram at Abraham's alter.  He was that spotless Passover Lamb whose blood was shed to bring freedom from slavery and deliverance from death.  He was that scarlet thread that hung out Rahab's window.  The Shepherd King:  David spoke so much about Him in the Psalter.  He was Isaiah's suffering servant, the fourth man in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshash, and Abed-Nego.  And yet He will never vanish from my sight unless i allow it.  Jesus' purpose isn't to push Himself onto anyone.  As humans, as mortals, He wants us to come to Him.  That's probably the only Hunger He ever has!  Is for us to come to Him.  i was the other disciple walking along the road to Emmaus.  i've gone from the road to Damascus to the road to Emmaus.  i've been writing about what Christ has done for me. Praise goes to the Lord! ...

Having Seen the Lord on the Road

 1 Timothy:  Make sure no other doctrine is taught, no fables which cause dispute, where there is no godly edification. Timothy, prevent the spread of false teaching. Legalists cannot mix law and grace.  They engage in idle talk, having strayed with their meaningless babble.  The law is not made for the righteous person, but for the lawless, ungodly, unholy, and profane, something of which i was guilty for so long and even have the temptation to fall back into the pit from time to time.  i obtained God's mercy because i committed those wrongs in unbelief, or as a back-slider and as someone prone to worldly and fleshly desire and lust. Now i believe in Jesus Christ and only by His grace will i obtain everlasting life.  Grace by faith and trust in Him.  In Him alone.  If i were to be a young man's mentor, i would want to be a quiet encourager, a serene influence, i would want to interest him by saying as little meaningless babble as possible and lea...

When I Haven't Removed the Plank From My Own Eye

Heavenly Father, help me align myself to Your will.  Shall i take advantage of the free time and begin at the seminary?  Could i use this motel room as a sanctuary despite the distractions?  Please help me before idolatry decays my soul any further.  Don't let this defeating habit in my life rob me of my confidence in Your power to give me victory over sin making me hesitant to offer Christ as the answer to others controlled by sin.  Don't let this habit destroy my incentive to share my faith because of feeling like a hypocrite.  How could i witness to others when i haven't removed the plank from my own eye? --[Matthew 7: 1-5] Sin always results in death of some kind. It is worth the continual struggle to combat temptation.  The awful, never-ending process of combating temptation is God's means of maturing me and confirming me to the image of Christ.  To throw my hands up in defeat is to abandon the process and to miss out on life's most important...
