SEEN – UNSEEN

WHAT A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS WHEN WE CANNOT EVEN EXPRESS OUR OWN FAITH PUBLICLY – WHAT A WARNING SIGN THAT IS!!!  So here are my thoughts come what may…

~I have been told that anyone who “believes” in Messiah/Christ/Savior/God/Yah is a “coward!”

That statement doesn’t make sense because to believe means that we walk in truth, we are accountable for what we do, what we say, what we choose –even to our own hurt. 

We know that there is coming a day when we must give an account of not only our choices and actions but even our words! To believe in our Creator means that anything that mankind does to us is infinitesimal in comparison to eternity. Matthew 10:28  “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” 

The word ‘fear’ here is translated from Greek, this is what the concordance says: From G5401; to frighten, that is, (passively) to be alarmed; by analogy to be in awe of, that is, revere: – be (+ sore) afraid, fear (exceedingly), reverence.

Some people believe that when we die we simply go back into the soil and that is the end- ashes to ashes, dust to dust. While our physical bodies do go back to dust (which testifies that we were created from the dust of the earth as Scripture states), our ‘Spirit’ goes back to the Creator who gave it. Our physical bodies will be raised up at the last day and those who are alive and remain will also be “caught up”. But the belief that we merely go back to the earth and get recycled gives no real hope for any future, and it leaves people believing that there is no reason for morality, no purpose – only self indulgence for some. For others it leaves them reasoning “what’s the point” for some people it actually causes them to self-destruct and feel that they are worthless . Some people feel that while they are here they will do all that they can for self- gratification, even to the hurt of others.

Some people believe that we are not really here, I have looked at that and it seems to me that if our spiritual being, our dream state or the ability to leave our body  is “more real” than the physical, then the physical body would not wake up to go pee in the night, it would not stir us out of sleep for hunger, or to take care of the physical body’s various needs. In my opinion there is something  disconnected in that theory. While I do believe we have a Spiritual body we also have a physical body and the harmony of both is what makes a soul. There is a purpose for both and the best explanation I have found resides in Scripture. I do not claim I have all the answer, but this is my belief.

 The spirit world, the unseen world, DOES SURELY EXIST and we all have had some experiences with it at times during our lives. Whether we see it as serendipity or promptings and signs along our path, in the form of dreams, visions, answered prayers or some seemingly random series of events, we have all experienced it, we have heard and seen the evidence of it. Some people have had more of these experiences than others, even so, we cannot deny that the physical also has a purpose and that is where we are at currently. Never-the-less we often infuse or spend our energy in the spiritual, we often can glean wisdom from those experiences if we are paying attention and allowing ourselves to see and hear what the Spirit says.

I choose love, in Scripture the word for unconditional love is agape (hence my profile name)- in my heart I do believe that love conquers all. Love is a spiritual experience and it is beautiful beyond compare – true love for humanity, for life, love for ourselves (else how can we love others) love of truth, for Yah/God/Messiah/Christ all of this is boundless and true.

Love is how we overcome.

Believing in our Creator does not make us cowards- it actually is very humbling, it keeps us from giving in to the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes, the pride of life. It is empowering, it fosters courage, it genders humility and compassion.

We stand in truth and in love and we stand against tyranny, against the forces of evil, against the Satanists-that is what causes us to be ridiculed, it causes us to be shunned from many, it causes us to be oppressed and much more. Why is that? Because the forces of evil are everything but love, those forces of darkness are devoid of love in fact those forces are driven by destruction and anything good in times past caused people to lose their lives by reason of their faith.

WE STAND FOR TRUTH, WE STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT/RIGHTEOUSNESS, WE STAND FOR HUMANITY, WE STAND FOR LIFE AND LOVE AND FREEDOM.

Knowledge can cause confusion, it can and often does cause one to never make a choice…but wisdom is from above and wisdom is the key.

When it is all said and done, we ALL HAVE TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT FOR EVERY IDLE WORD WE SPEAK. That is my firm belief and Yah/God help me because I know I have allowed my emotions to take over at times, but I do also know that we are like roses, sometimes we are fragrant and pleasant but when we are crushed we have our thorns and that is a good thing too.

So in closing I’d like to say that believing in Yah/ God, is anything but cowardly! It holds us to the HIGHEST STANDARD – EVEN TO OUR OWN HURT- EVEN UNTO DEATH!

That is precisely what we need, what we require: Proverbs 29:2 WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS ARE IN AUTHORITY, THE PEOPLE REJOICE: BUT WHEN THE WICKED BEARETH RULE, THE PEOPLE MOURN.

HERE WE ARE!
