He Does Not Forsake Us

This is a beautiful and profound truth that fills my heart with adoration and worship. God has made a covenant with man, and He is wholly faithful to that covenant, even when we are not. (2Tim 2). In Christ, God removed the curse of the law and washed us, giving us his very nature and Spirit to live in us forever. God has given himself so completely to us, that though we may turn our affections and worship away from him for a time, He will not forsake or abandon us. In fact, it is because He is bound to us in faithful love that He is subject to grief when we depart from him. If He were not so committed to us, He could forsake us and spare himself the grief that comes from unrequited love. But he does not forsake us, and therefore he remains, bound to us, and to grief when we depart from him, even as we grieve for a lost love. (Yet it is more because his love is so much stronger and true than ours.)

He longs for faithful lovers who will worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Isaiah says that his eyes move back and forth through the earth, seeking a heart that is wholly His, a “perfect” heart. He longs for our affections to be set upon Him alone. So the Spirit grieves because, while He is ever faithful and never failing, we do not always remain faithful. It makes me think, how long are we willing to be continually hurt by someone we love? How long do we put up with a lack of response from a loved one, or words that hurt, or feeling disrespected. Though are weak and prone to failure in our love of God, He does not fail us. He will not forsake or abandon us. When we turn back to Him, he is always there to receive us. How beautiful is our Lord. This love is so beyond human understanding that it takes an act of God just to comprehend it! (I Peter 1). May it bend us, and soften us, that we may love Him and yield to his direction within us at every point. He has given himself completely to us. May we not fall short in giving ourselves completely to Him. His eyes are longing, searching for such a heart. On this one He will rest, even as we find rest in Him.

Elon's Fire Dragon From Heaven and Revelation 13

The Christian world, what I will call "Churchianity", has chosen to overlook things that are inconvenient to see. We all do it, when we want something badly, or believe something, we rationalize, overlook, and dismiss information to the contrary. We are doing it again, and I believe we will see very grave consequences. However, scripture tells us it will happen, mass deception in the church, that is, and my hope is that God will work it all for our good. He orders all things according to the counsel of His will. He is training us for eternity, so maybe it's one last divine lesson that we will never, ever forget. This will be a longer post as I will talk about Elon's dark sentences, Elon's fire from heaven, and Trump and Elon teaming up from Revelation 13, so buckle your seat belts! And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. Daniel 8:23 Elon a...

Growing in Revelation

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26 It is so important that we approach scripture as children, expecting the Holy Spirit to open our minds to Truth. As “churched” believers, (I so dislike that term, it sounds like something that is pickled), we are in danger of approaching the word as if we fully understand it. This attitude shuts off revelation, dulling our spiritual vision and curbing our knowledge of God. We are called to be spiritually quickened, not to pickle in the stagnant pools of familiar church doctrine. This is not to say that church doctrine is a not good and helpful. No, the problem comes when doctrine becomes a wall that shuts us out from Spirit led revelation. But when viewed as a door, doctrine can serve as an invitation, beckoning the hungry heart to come in and explore. It is interesting to note...

Elon's Grok

Elon's AI image maker and chatbot, Grok, takes its name from a science fiction novel in which a Martian comes to earth and starts a church called the Church of All Worlds. (He also draws inspiration for Grok from a classic, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which I will post below.) The word " grok ", coined in the novel, made its way into the English language. In Heinlein's invented Martian language, "grok" literally means "to drink" and figuratively means "to comprehend", "to love", and "to be one with". The word rapidly became common parlance among science fiction fans, hippies, and later computer programmers [ 20 ] and hackers, [ 21 ] and has since entered the Oxford English Dictionary . [ 22 ] When I consider these words, drinking, loving, unity, and revelation (comprehension), I immediately think of God's word. The Word is that Living Water that we drink to grow in our knowledge of God, but in this st...
