I Don't Mind That Truth At All

-


 i didn't realize that the Holy Spirit has the intense yearning to have me all to Himself, and i like that.  i don't mind that concept at all...or i should say i don't mind that Truth at all.  i find comfort in knowing that the Holy Spirit is actually lusting over me!  That's an eye-opening realization with all the ill-will and malice i can easily sense just hearing hushed whispers down the hall, especially when those voices have a history of making the point of being heard throughout an entire building.  The Holy Spirit made me kick my laptop the other night, i'm sure of it--to the point where i can no longer use it.  i had been meaning to get rid of it anyway because it is a distraction and Satan loves when i'm distracted from the Truth. 

i can easily become too obsessed with being entertained to the point of being misguided.  i'd do anything to turn my devotion away from the world.  If my right arm caused me to sin and to devote more of my attention to the world and away from the Holy Spirit who lusts after me, then i should rejoice when my Divine Lover gets angry and jealous at that sin enough to take necessary action--whether at me directly or indirectly.  He led me to the proper preacher at the proper time and all involved freed me from the chains that had bind me to this foolish world for so long.  

Being subjected to malice and ill will for so long, Holy Spirit, You are now a refreshing welcome in my life because You squash any malice aforethought that any worldly being in my life can bring on. Noises and disruption won't worry me as much because You've made me aware now that i'm no longer own by them.

 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...
