The Reckoning of Revelation

There’s a reckoning afoot in the core of our being, can you begin to feel-sense the preliminary but faint rippling tsunami affects of the Father’s love which is about to rapture whosoever from their inner entanglements. Even so Lord COME!
Without a true compass, is it any wonder our course has been one very prolonged maelstrom, going fast nowhere?
There is a forth coming, Jesus being the first born of ‘many sons’ who will demonstrate in a living show and tell manner the proof not only of God, but God our Father wooing those He has prepped to be fully received of Him in and through us His body which IS the Church!

History continues to be used of the Father as a living lesson for those wanting to know the Truth. How very often men have assumed wrong centers in their reckoning. You recall there was a day when men believed that the earth was the center of our solar system. They imagined that the sun and all other planets revolved around the earth. What confusion this Ptolemaic system of reckoning wrought. The calendar needed constant revision: the seasons were coming either too late or too early. Because men were off-centered in their reckoning, things were eccentric.

Then Galileo and Copernicus arose to challenge this wrong centered reckoning. They insisted that the sun, not the earth, was the true center of this solar system. But they were treated by the Roman authoritarianism of that day which often burned at the stake those who dared to preach such heresy. Apart from an open mind or illumination, the religious hierarchy of that day could not see or would not accept any new conception. Is this not God’s graphic way of picturing how fallen men have always sought to make ‘everything’ (even God and His blessings) to revolve around them for their own ends. Men who are cancerous at heart will surely impose wrong-centered conceptions upon the world.

What a revelation of having Christ in us the hope of Glory, but paralleled with this is a hidden mystery yet to be incorporated within us just as real, us being IN Christ!
Semantics you blather Richard, no not in the least. There is a righteous rightness coming fourth with those responding to His call, purpose, intention, will.
He is the Living Word, sharper than a two edged knife-scalpel cutting asunder, bringing a division between the “soul and the spirit.” I have come to bring a sword, not peace, Jesus continues to proclaim to His church.
This may sound way to mechanical for some, needless to say, all of the righteous-rightness is the out working of a continued revelation of us being found IN Christ! Love has willed this, love will release this.

Things are being so altered, changed nearer and faster, it seems the frog (metaphorically) all over again is being boiled alive on the stove in broad daylight and nary a word or peep from those seeing through the narcotic opiated placebos being swallowed on a moment by moment basis by the masses.
This day-hour of revelation-reckoning is extricating us from within our very core, establishing a true setting of our hearts desires, releasing us to once again revolve around the Son! This continued revelation-reckoning is freeing many from their spiritually lost equilibrium, those whose course have been infected by religions lies, with something akin to Lucy being transfixed in pure rapture as she steps through the wardrobe in the closet out into the new undiscovered world of Narnia. “No eye has yet seen, no ear has yet heard, that which is to impale our hearts” with His love.
Even so Lord come.

Too Good to be True

I phrase I remember reading in a book by Hannah Whitall Smith; “Some believers wear their Christianity like a crown, and others were it like a headache.”

One of the things Wayne Jacobsen and Brad Cummings along with Paul Young are being accused of especially since the release of their joint collaboration on the book, The Shack, is making God way to friendly and loving, can you believe that?

Quoting Wayne Jacobsen here from The Naked Church, this is sweet. “Without a proper understanding of how we participate in God’s righteousness, we are prevented from fully tasting God’s goodness. Nothing pales the temporal happiness that sin offers any faster than the joy of God’s presence. Many people have never seen a Christianity that exciting and vibrant. All they’ve seen is people weighed down by the obligations of church attendance, Christian works, and ethics.”

This whole thing of being Righteous is a scary proposition in the mind that sees it only possible through much sweating and labouring over performance based behaviour. I love how Paul spoke of righteousness, being a by product of faith, one that is produced in those who simply respond to being Loved!

While still in the institutional box of the Vineyard, I remember singing one particular song, one of the lines went like this; “Holiness (righteousness) is your life in me making me clean through your blood. Holiness is your fire in me, purging my heart like a flood. I know you are perfect in Holiness your life in me setting me free making me holy.”
Today those are no longer mere words song in a quasi artificial setting, aka a church meeting, but in fact it is a living beat that I now wake up to. Each day I am discovering I am loved of the Father, no longer trying to be loved because of my vain and foolish sweat stained works.

Why is this so difficult to grasp, “Anything that is not of faith IS sin?” Whatever is NOT initiated in the heart of the Father is sin.
So many times our brother Paul was fully anticipating a receptivity by the family of God whereby he would speak freely of the hidden wisdom of the Father only to discover so many were yet so immature, and acting like mere men, as without the spirit of God within them.
Maybe that is what is alluded to here from Hebrews; “Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”

This encounter of the most holy kind I am continuing to experience on a daily basis is just too good to be true.
I am learning to wear my Christianity like a crown, the crown of Life.
The training and equipping that I am experiencing in my moment by moment living in Him, is a revelation, no longer a lifeless seminar.
