A Prophetic Life? True-Life 41

A Prophetic Life?

Thus says the Lord, “One year from now you will have a son and he will be a man of God.”

These words were spoken – by a stranger – to my mother – 12 months before I was born.  I don’t know if I was born on the exact same day 12 months later but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Though not by choice at first I have lived a life filled with prophecies and interactions with God. Today, I would not have it any other way!

Some prophecies over the course of my life were given to me (for me) by others with prophetic giftings – some of those prophecies came to pass and some not so much.

So what is a legitimate prophecy?

Who Can Learn?

Scripture supports itself!

Who can accurately learn and understand the message found in God’s Word?

Well, according to Isaiah 28:9–13 and Hebrews 5:12-14, God teaches and enlightens those who mature in the pursuit of His Word and His Will:

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed into the image of his Son… (Romans 8:29 NIV)

So who will HE teach?

Eternal Hope: Poem

Tags

Love, Meaning of Life

Ever endure and never give up!

Eternal Hope

Decades passed entrenched in great, deep abiding hope

In joy of life we danced and sang and loved and drank in life’s inordinate soul

Valiantly I fought to keep the love of life alive

Alas alone my partner drank my strength till hope did die

Yet on I plod, in endless hope to find again that spring

But I had not a partner true to save me when I screamed:

Help, save me, catch me quick for in the mire I sink

For hope long lost can drag one down beneath the hopeful spring.

For abides the endless depth of never ending hope

From fools who plod alone until hope has drowned their soul.

Then from said soul the spring of hope is fed so others stride

Until they feed eternal hope until they too do stride.

Time A Wasted

Oh folly of man, oh arrogance of my kindred, whilst thou would not humblest thyself in the knowledge of thy God and recognize His greatness amidst the bottomless quality of thy immeasurable comparative insignificance, others accomplish His will whilst thy bosom remains empty.

How about another question?

Did you know — that as a Christian you are saved by the blood of the Lamb?  There is NO OTHER name under heaven by which you MUST be saved.

This is a True statement!!!

The majority of Christians would answer this question in the affirmative.

And it is true; we are saved by the blood of the Lamb;

Second half of Christ’s Covenant

Part-One

The Contract!

How about a question?  What is the 2^nd half of Christ’s Covenant?

Here’s the “simple” answer.  The 2^nd half of Christ’s Covenant is the Judgment half of Christ’s two-part Contract with humanity for Salvation.  Was that really a simple answer?  You’d have to decide for your self. 🙂

What contract — you might ask?

The two part contract between God and humanity which offers people Salvation.

Creation, From The Heart, Love, Steven R. Harrel for This Side of the Whirlwind

Him

His eyes never blinking

His tears bring the rains,

 

His image ever growing in love, knowledge and change.

Time without ending, His creation fraught with pain;

Then with love overflowing in a world He made with joy

His grace it keeps and keeps on going to His glorious evermore.

Protect our Little Children

How can everyone so miss the actual point in this picture?

God loves bigots, liars, homosexuals, adulterers and gossips et’ cetera.

To know where this is going open the following link in another window:

https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/09/23/protesters-swarm-long-island-drag-queen-story-hour/

To be a homosexual or Trans-sexual or Transvestite is no different than being an adulterer; rather, the issue is not their chosen lifestyle but their attempts to influence children to sexually inappropriate lifestyle choices long before these children have a sense of their own sexuality.

There is an active movement taking place which is designed to intentionally confuse children of their own sexual identities.   To deny this is absurd.

Consider:

Do we want Adulterers actively promoting adultery to little children?

Do we want Liars vigorously encouraging our babies to be liars?

How about Pedophiles, do we want exuberant (as in playing dress-up) efforts made to promote child rape and abuse by Pedophiles as they openly presence pedophilia to babes?

At what age is it reasonable for non-parent personalities to promote any level of sexuality to other people’s children?

The LGBT and like-minded elements of our society are actively promoting and even enlisting by default 3 and 4 and 5 year olds in their deviant lifestyle choices.

Undeniably, the historic and global perspective for aberrant behavior in all societies for thousands of years has recognized homosexuality, adultery, lying, thievery, murder and pedophilia as aberrant and immoral behavior and lifestyle choices.

Just because the current societal perspective on what is right or wrong does not seem to recognize the destructive nature of these foolish life choices does NOT negate what is and has been considered wicked by humanity for a thousand generations.

So somehow this singular generation is wiser than thousands of past generations.

Should make you think! Unk.

Written to my niece.

Open our eyes Lord so that we might see your ways!

This Side of the Whirlwind: Throbs

Throbs

 

I selected this poem today because it has been on my mind for several days; I didn’t and don’t have any specific reason.

I do however remember being in such a great mood on the day I wrote “Throbs”. When I read it this morning the poem suggested I was suffering from some crisis of the heart or soul, but (Thank the Lord!) I was not.

I hope you enjoy this poem for it is one I truly enjoyed writing back in 2012 and reading again today.  The Lord bless you one and all!

Throbs

O God!  Shake my heart, shake my heart,
