Truest Reality

That moment when you are awakening from a dream, that fuzzy realization that lets you know you've been in a dream world. While you're in a dream things can seem real, you can get caught up in the emotions. Emotions of fear, happiness, sadness.
Sometimes when we awake we might say to ourselves, "Oh thank goodness it was only a dream." Knowing that we've made it safe and sound back to reality.

Some people think this reality is all we have, no life after death. No heaven or hell. Luke 16:19-31 Jesus tells of a true account of a rich man, and a poor man named Lazarus.  When the Lazarus dies, an angel comes to him and takes him to Abraham's side in Paradise. The rich man comes to die and was tormented in Hell.So the rich man calls to Father Abraham, "have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire." He continues,
He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment."

Abraham replies, "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead. ”

We as humans are so engulfed in this world that we can touch, taste, see, hear, and smell. But the truth is, this world is closer to a dream than Heaven and Hell and the spiritual realm where God lives. This body of skin that dies and rots away has us blinded to the truest reality.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

 This verse reminds us that what you can see is what is temporary, it is what you can't see in the spiritual realm that last forever.

Even Christians that know this truth get blinded, or blurry vision of the truth that is the spiritual realm that is reality. We get side-tracked or derailed. Clutter of this world starts to block out the truth. Love of this world. Love of what this world offers. But what this world offers is an illusion. Money, material possession, fame, career, worldly knowledge, drug and gambling highs, sexual pleasure, even our goals and our selfish dreams are illusions. 

I would like to leave you with some movie references.
The first is from a movie called, The Labyrinth. When Sarah the main character is on a mission to retrieve her brother from a goblin king. The goblin king sends a poison peach to her, which causes her to hallucinate. In her hallucination she is coaxed with pleasures and riches. While still hallucinating she finds herself in a junkyard, where all sorts of junk and material possessions try to clammer for her attention and try to cloud her brain from the truth, from her mission.


Also in the movie, "The Last Unicorn"
A unicorn gets trapped inside a human body. The consequences is that she slowly forgets that she once was a unicorn. Much like we are a spirit in a fleshy body and forget that God breathed life into us. And that we possess a spirit.
I'll leave you with this last video, I hope it speaks to your spirit and blesses you.

"Penitent soul! Dare to believe in the instantaneous forgiveness of sins. Thou hast only to utter the confession, to find it interrupted by the outbreak of the Father's love, as soon as the words of penitence leave thy lips, they are met by the hurrying assurances of a love which whilst it hates sin, has never ceased to yearn over the prodigal." F.B Meyer

Tick Tock

If someone truly is trusting in God, they do not give God time limits.
                                                    or for that matter, REQUISITIONS.
Making a list for God to fill, is a lack of reverent fear and respect of our God, our Creator.

Still Shining!

I think my friend Kelline must have an extra special mission.
I think satan knows her potential.
Her potential of reaching people.
For my dear friend Kelline has been under his attack since she was born.
He is afraid of her true potential.
for he spends a lot of his manpower keeping her down.
But that's tough satan, because she still shines!
She still shines through all your attacks and firery darts.

Battle on dear sister!
We have the victory.
And the battle belongs to the Lord.


"In heavenly armour we'll enter the landThe battle belongs to the LordNo weapon that's fashioned against us shall standThe battle belongs to the Lord
We sing glory and honorPower and strength to the Lord(repeat)

The power of darkness comes in like a floodThe battle belongs to the LordHe's raised up a standard, the power of His bloodThe battle belongs to the Lord
When your enemy presses in hard do not fearThe battle belongs to the LordTake courage my friend, your redemption is nearThe battle belongs to the Lord"

Teach me to love You.

Teach me how to love You.

I wanna love God with my whole heart. Whole admiration, whole affection, and my whole desire.

There's a quote that says, "The proof of love is in the want to give."
What have I done out of love for YOU?
What have I given without self-gain?

I can at least say at this point,

"I'll give my life to You."
"I'll give my body to You."
"I'll give my mouth to You."
"I'll give my dreams and hopes to You."

I want to love you above all else.

God doesn't want to share the pedal-stool in our heart.
He wants our whole heart.
He deserves to be desired above all else.

My prayer is...
"Lord help me to love You better, I want to desire You with my whole heart. I don't want to love any of Your creations more than I love You."

These words won't ring loudly to you, (the     reader) I'm sure.                                                 
These words have to be 
self-realized to ring out.                                                                    
But when you've finally had enough of just   taking what satan is dishing out...              
There'll be a loud welcomed reverberation in  your soul!                                                          
                                                                               
"I am the daughter of the KING!"                    
Just the name of JESUS and the Blood of      Jesus has authority over everything!"            
                                                                                
"In the name of Jesus I rebuke the spirits of, stress, anxiety, and fear, that have been        plaguing me."                                                      
                                                                                
I'm not sure why I put up with it this long.
Forgive me Lord. You died for my                    salvation, healing, and peace.    
What have you been putting up with?
Putting up with, when you're the son or daughter of THE King!

Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

"Without  faith, it is impossible to please God." Hebrews 11:6
If I don't have faith that Jesus can and will satisfy me, that His plans for me are perfect and will fill me with joy; I'm not pleasing God.
"...for WHOEVER would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seeek Him." Hebrews 11:6
