“Full Impact”

 

“Full Impact”

An impact is when two objects or things comes together. When they come together and touch. This coming together can be light or heavy. It can be gentle or hard. It could be like the difference in two boxing punches. Say, like a jab as opposed to a punch. The punch is stronger than a jab. I just got over a bad upper respiratory infection. At first when it hit me it was light. I doubled up on vitamins and such. In a few days, it hit me hard, then came two shots in the rump. I have seen many hurricanes, some light and some strong, they all have an impact. Some things like a wasp can have a small sting but a hard after effect. Sometimes we can learn to appreciate things, the harder they hit us. Like the smell of a beautiful rose garden. At a distance its light, but when we draw nearer the aroma engulfs us, or we get the full impact of the smell. All of us who get the full impact, never forget it, whatever it is.

“Revelation”
Finding our way

A revelation is a word, a phrase or a vision. All come unexpected. They are not from the mind, they come from the spirit. The makeup of man is; the outer man which is the body, the inner man, which is the soul, the mind, will, and emotions and then there is the spirit. The organ that makes us aware of God is the spirit. Only in the spirit can we hear and really know Him. Our bodies and soul are rejuvenated through baptism in repentance and water. Only baptism of the spirit can rejuvenate our spirit to know the person God. Spirit bears witness to spirit. Our communication with God is through the spirit. We worship God in spirit and truth. The word truth means, reality or real. Continue reading “Revelation-Finding our way”

Out Of Darkness Comes Great Light

“Out of darkness comes great light”

In the natural world we see a bolt of lightning than we hear thunder in that order. In the supernatural it is just the opposite we hear thunder than see light. Thunder is associated with darkness as in a bad storm, lightning illuminates our surrounding as to see. We would all prefer not to see bad storms, but storms have there benefits as well as their destruction. One of the benefits is lightning produces ozone, without that no life could live on the earth, so ozone protects life. The destructive side of a storm can tear down what we have built. In the beginning there were no storms, not even rain and man was to live forever. In man’s rebellion against God his life was shortened,  storms and wars came. Storms and wars are similar in ways. God speaks in both. From the time of the rebellion in the garden of Eden God has been calling his creation to return sometime in a soft small voice and sometimes in a loud strong storm. One is peaceful  and the other is fearful. Either way he is speaking. We should take comfort in the fact that God is speaking to us personally, and if he’s speak to us personally it is because he loves us beyond who and where we are. There is a peaceful small voice speaking to us and our nation today and there are many strong thunderous storms speaking also. If the peaceful small voice is not sufficient the stronger voice will increase, if this sounds frightening, we should listen to the small soft voice and respond. The scriptures say God speaks out of his secret place of thunder, when extreme measures are needed to speak to us. Ìt can come in the form of storms and wars. Neither are pleasant but both bring light after the thunder. His voice can be either soft or loud but they are both his. How many times have you spoken soft words of instruction to your children about not playing in the street before you had to resort to the storm of spanking. We love our children and God loves us and neither want them to be hurt. Broken bones from cars in the street are nothing compared  to “Hell” where God is not and there is no more loving corrections.  Jesus named James and John a long time ago “Boanerges meaning Sons of thunder and light”.they both were experienced with a small voice and a thunderous voice. Both bring light and change. Continue reading “Out Of Darkness Comes Great Light”
