To: The One who is to come,
I say to you be my delight; my radiance.
I say to you be my Salvation, my stronghold.
I say to you, The one who is to come, be my everything.
These things I say to you my beloved Father, my faithful friend, the unyielding pursuer of mine heart, mine mind, mine soul and mine Spirit. Yet though they are within me in truth they are not mine. They are yours given unto me by your unfailing love. Surrender. Salvation. Sacrifice. Solidarity.
Father, like the words in this passage of scripture below you will never leave us, never let us feel shame and disgrace. Although you leave us to trail and passage, the passage of life, you are never truly gone. You never left. Always there, forevermore. What I say is that you have all things in hand, your wisdom unobtainable, the fullness of you will shrouded, kept in secret; a mystery for the shepherds flock.
What words can describe you best?
We all exclaim, proclaim, shout, jump, write, yell and tell of you Glory and Majesty yet it is not enough! It does not even beging to scratch the surface of who You really are. Haha this is reasoning for Eternity. To have enough "time" to give you what you deserve Papa.
All in all is His hand upon his hand. (everyting and everything again is his control over his creation)
Isaiah 54:4-8 says
"Do not be afraid; you eill not suffer shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of you widowhood.
For your maker is your husband-
the Lord Almighty is his name-
The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.
The Lord will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit-
a wife who married young, only to be rejected," Says your God.
"For a brief moment I abandoned you,
but with deep compassion I will bring you back.
In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness
I will have compassion on you,"
Says the Lord your Redeemer.
The favour of God is returning for his bride!
We have been like young wives! Married off to the world and it's snares, it's traps!
But now, O hallelujah, now we are being brought back with a deep compassion from our Redeemer!
I believe this is a word to the lost and to the church; all those who walked away.
All who love our Father open up your arms and hearts and let the king of Glory come in!
Oh Father, O' Father, O' Father! Come in and have your way!
Hallelujah!

}XXI.IX.MMXI{ Ephesians 6
Ephesians 6:1-4 Children and parents.
6:1 "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right/"
Obey your parents in the Lord!
I believe this is not just aimed at those whom have Christ-loving parents biological parents but those whom have "parents in the Lord". Obey them and come into an understanding of how much their instruction, experience and blessings impacts your life.
Lets not be afraid to approach them (older people in the church/wider church community) and ask them to pray with us, for us and bless us and us bless them/be a blessing in return.
Let's see a more reciprocal nature between the ages, races and mindsets.
Let's see a spiritual clash (coming togther and bursting) of the colour, the joy and the passion we each have.
Let us show this in Holy communion (communication) and fellowship, firstly with our Heavenly Father, secondly with ourselves.
2: "Honour your Father and Mother - which is the first commandment with a promise - 3: that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy a long life on earth."
God calls us to honour those who lead us and nuture us in the ways of God and in the reality of this world. Honour them as their image you can project upon God subconciously.
So firstly honour them in the small things and the good things and the rest will follow.
What follows is an appreciation for their failings aswell. It shows they try, they strive for you and that they love you enough to fail and do things better. Also you see their mistakes and futher learn from them.
4: "Fthers do not exasperate your children; instead bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."
Parents and spiritual parents: As you nuture these blessed children of God, they will not only learn from what you teach them but from what they see in your own relationship with Christ.
So "do not exasperate your children."
Exasperate: to iniate or provoke to a high degree; annoy extremely.
So therefore trust God to do the rest with them. He will go that extra mile after you have gone your extra mile. Be firm and persistant but not out of fear or anger. Imitate Christ in your teaching of them.
Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 10:1 "A wise son brings joy to his Father."
Proverbs 7:1-4 My son keep my words and store my commands up within you.
2: Keep my commands and you will live; gaurd my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3: Bind them on your fingers; write them on you heart.
4: Say to wisdom "you are my sister" and call understanding your kinsman.
Proverbs 2,3,4 and 6:20-24 and 5:1-2.
People of God head these words of God. Letts seek unity among the peoples, the families.
Intimacy!
Love!
Unity!
Be blessed in all you do and love others as youwould loev yourself.
Philippians 2:3: Do nothing out of selfish ambtion or vain conciet, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
Eph 5:21 "Sumbit to others out of reverance for Christ."
This comes from a yearing of mine own heart. I am yearning to fellowship with the older generations and father and mother figuers. I know this is already happening. So lets be encouraged and be more intentional.
From a loving heart and a loving brother in Christ.

}VIII.IX.MMXI{ War of Self
Father! My spirit yearns for you! It yearns for you; yet my heart is hardened and my mind is confused! My soul ties these together in war that I myself am both a ready participant and a man conscripted against His will.
Where is my Father?
Have I left Him?
Do I disappoint?
The hardened heart and confused mind aid the destruction of war, and the spirit cries our holy is our god! He cries for unity in a member of brokenness. A member who's members are scattered to the wind, their motives and desires separated thus far.
Where is my release!
Renewing of the mind my son.
