The One Constant is Change

Wrong. The one constant is Christ. The only needed constant is Christ. Every other thing is on its way elsewhere. Back to the ashes and dust from which it was made. There is one thing that can be leaned on without fail: Christ. There is one unshifting anchor for the body, soul and spirit: Christ. There is one arm of one Beloved upon which the church can and must lean: The arm of Christ.

Thanks for the fruit tonight, Daddy. I got the chance to see and know. Thank you. Have mercy on us when we go to Egypt. Thank you that you made your church for us all to be a part of. Help us each day to find our part in the body of Christ.

State of the Union

The Union is Wonderful. The Union is Strong. The Union is unshakeable. The Union is full of Peace. The Union can weather any storm. The Union is the very reason for any real Hope.

The Union of the Bridegroom and His Bride is a done deal. The Price has been paid. The Union of Christ and His Church is in place.

I talked with the Bride today. She is at rest in the arms of Her Beloved. She is not worried or concerned. She is not distracted from her Holy Husband, by anything happening around Her. The Bride of Christ is very grateful.

I talked with the Bridegroom today. He can not keep his eyes off of Her. He is delighted with His Bride. He loves to here her voice in the morning when she speaks his Name and pauses to listen for His reply. He is delighted with the way she is willing to sit in His peace and quiet to hear him, and at the same time wants so much to be up in the middle of the music dancing for Him.

The Union is Good. When I see the Bride resting Her head on the breast of her Beloved, with no other need and no desire to go anywhere, the Union is good. When I see that and know that the Lamb has received the reward of His sufferings, the Union is Good. Very Good.

Father, thank You for The Union.

Good Morning

I delight in You, my God and King. All that I am and have is from you and directed unto you in praise, honor and glory. I am entirely adrift and lost without you. But I am not without you. You have placed me in Your presence, the intimate center of Your delightful Love. In Your presence is fullness of joy. Here with You, Christ Jesus, I find my purpose and the fulfillment of it. There is great sufficiency in You and I am satisfied and at rest in Your embrace. Thank You for the Blood poured out for the redemption of this glorious Body. Thank You for Your abiding Spiritual weight in our lives. Teach us some more today, revealing your Love in and through us. Convict us and admonish us for being Love misers.

more than enough SHADDAI

So much life, even among the dead. The passions of humans, lost as a goose in a snowstorm, and desperate from some reference that will satisfy and sustain.

That is why I am so excited to meet somebody who is still physically alive. There is still hope. They are still hungry for "best." They may have found good, they may have found better, but not yet best. My God, what a glorious thing to find out that they have everything except the very fountain of living love inside. Overflowing with human life, but afraid even then to flow because they know there is no refill.

I ran into a friend last night who was grieving. What a delight to let him. To know that there was no ache or agony that needed to flow from him that could overcome the power of love that needs to flow from me. So my delight in Christ met his tragedy, and Christ won. He will come back for more. He will know that he came in contact with the extraordinary and he will want more.

Father, I am so grateful that there is more.

That you are more than enough, and that there is no limit to how much of you I can give away.

Faith in Christ

Clinging to nothing else is not enough. That just means adrift.

Clinging, leaning all on Christ is enough and all. The Word, the message of good news is that there is a place to lean, it is a place worthy of your trust, and it is the only place to lean on that matters. So that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

What is the purpose of having eternal life? For the healing of the nations. For the manifestation of the Kingdom of God.

Bring the Kingdom of God into your places, and see life, love, flow into Kingdomless corners and hearts. Having eternal life, bear eternal life into the waste places. Only Kingdom people can bring the Kingdom. Only vessels of perfect love can make it available for the removal of fear.

Plenty of nice religions out there for those who need one. Only one place to trust, rest, heal, hope. And then walk out, carrying water to the thirsty.

Daddy, thank you for Your Word of Truth.

Rooms

http://books.google.com/books?id=42EHtyyGva8C&printsec=frontcover&dq=rubart+rooms&source=bl&ots=fpgCu5IdDp&sig=co9vgn8UrF7BdjtB246CisWR3dQ&hl=en&ei=KRcYTZyOOcT58AahzKHsDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDYQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false

My boy gave me a copy of this book, Rooms, for Christmas, and I read it today.
It is Christian literature and describes a man's path to spiritual liberty and wholeness in Christ. The protagonist turned away from Christ in his teens and twenties, like so many of us did. This is the fictional dramatic telling of one man's return to Christ.

If any of this description resonates with you or describes someone who is not walking in Christian liberty, I recommend this anointed book. The author is James Rubart.
