In this age of Grace
(which doesn't mean we abrogate
but fulfill the law) we are to be:
A prophet by encouraging what God's Word says, and by warning of what God's Word says (Ezekiel 3:21)
we are to be a priest by ministering to others to serve others graciously
(2 Cor. 9:7)
and we are to be kings as we rule our lives according to godly living (1 Peter 2)
1 Peter 4:11c "that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ"

Christ is our washed mirror image. Christ, our Brother, was not simply introducing Himself to us...but introducing us to our perfected self.
|
In an existence rife with disappointment, happiness must seem a fabled luxury, relegated to a distant past in the envelope of youth where obligation is an undiscovered theme and need exists in its pristine state, devoid of any attachment. If distance lends perspective, happiness will forever remain a legacy whose true value may only be appreciated in contrast to our misery.
|
The human form is a vehicle...a housing -- yet a temple, through which The Divine can manifest his glorious kingdom on earth...when and if we act accordingly, direct our "Us" tenant spirits to behave righteous thus fully representative of Christ. A Light victory, over the sphere of lifeless darkness.

The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law. ? Aristotle
|
When we are astray, we will be found, Jesus Christ will always be around.
|
Jesus is the reason for the Christmas season, His light is our beacon.
|
At Christmas not all presents can be wrapped, the greatest gift, is to be with the one you love.
|
In the journey of a Christian, do not walk meekly, do not walk proudly, walk comfortably.
|
" The Birth of Jesus from the Virgin is equivalent to the stage Srotapatti or Sohan ( He who has entered the stream ). This Initiation is the entrance of the Christ Soul into the Physical life intent upon living it Spiritually by Consecrating it to Noble and Worthy Ideals"

JOSEPH, SON OF JACOB
"A type of the Christ Soul, The Greater Self struggling Upward from below" Joseph in an Egyptian Prison is Christ come into the world, where he can meet the two peoples, that is, the Jew and the Gentile... After long suffering, first from the Ungoverned violence of activities which spring from true service, then through temptations from the affections of the natural man, then through Bondage and Pain, the Spirit is Freed and Glorified, ALL EGYYPT BOWS TO JOSEPH"
|
Nothing we see is as it really is...as Christ saw, and saw us, His brothers and sisters. Love is truth...Love is all that should matter...but there are two kinds of passion, both good and evil. Love not vanity...for it is evil.
|
At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.
-- Aristotle
|
The door is open, pure light shinning out -- we must take the step -- Christ is our usher, not a jailer.
|
God Almighty - El Shaddai! All of our needs God will supply, but where He leads, I must comply; When it is Christ that I profess, His Spirit moves my soul to bless. Reason A. Poteet

"Children full of giggles, dance in excitement around the Christmas tree, a camera captures the moment." Quote by poet
|
God will ultimately win -- it is His creation, and we are His created. The Devil, stupid? He is just being the devil. He is stupid, immoral, murderous...and seductive. To personally do battle with Him, to entertain his mind and being, in a sense, is to lose. Lean on God, go to God. When surrounded by Christ Light, permeated with Christ Love, only listening to Christ presence -- we are Victorious. To face the devil from a position of combative ego, Alone, is to royally lose.

TRISTICH:The most well known being HIKU the English language version of HAIKU 'the phonetical&cultural original ' Japanese' poem form in verse freed from syllabic constraint within its triplicity of format&still inherently enigmatic with a caesura and surprise ending

The farthest think from my mind is attempting to bring others to Christ though fear of damnation -- Love is a much larger Ark.
|
PONDERING ON THE SCRIPTURES: A symbol of the soul relying upon the Higher Nature which is Within. " The words of The Christ should be considered further in connection with the General Character of the Gospel according to St. John" For the character of that narrative is not Historical, but Spiritual, not Descriptive of the outward forms of the church, but the Inner Life of the Soul
|
There will always be war as long religion still exist and there will always be denominations and differences; as long there are people working for churches and self glory or victory not for Christ light.
|
Freedom, given humanity by God, just like His Christ, has been abused. People will not know the gift they have lost, until, of it, little semblance in society remains.
|
Freewill is not a free-pass to do harm. We must take care though, no matter how deeply felt our sense of values -- neither politicians nor priests should be dictators. No easy fix. By example, to live Christ...the only way.
|
Come through Christ for he's the way to God, na through person them take dey know person, no stubborn if dem show you God picture, you know am?
|
When you sell a type of Christianity whose only response to suffering and lose is that your either in sin or don't have enough faith, you set up a lot of people for frustration and anger.
Luka Mwango

Restless, and somehow faithless people, seek the peace they are unable to find: only Christ can give it to them.
|
The mystery of life, the mystery of love, the mystery of creation -- what keeps me coming back to God, enthralled with God, is His endearing, never ending mystery. One experiences first-hand through Christ.
|
Seeing death and despair all around us, we are deduced to a state of hopelessness; we must believe that hope will become light through our darkness. Let's pray fervently and cast our anxieties on Christ.
|
Restless and faithless individuals seek the peace they can't find: only Christ can give it to them.
|
The Christian is in foreign territory, on a planet that has the usurper, the duplicator, Satan, as reigning monarch and the people are his subjects.
