Melchizedeck? 

We don't know for sure yet what is coming and we do not know what went before. What to do with these speculations? What does Melchizedeck mean for me?

Neglecting the Power

 Stifling the Spirit

When I was racking up perfect attendance pins in Sunday School I did not believe anything Jesus said about if someone asks me for my shirt to give him my coat also. 

Neither did I give any truth to the story the Rabbi's sternly told Jesus He should not heal on Sunday.

I dismissed it altogether, never thought a thing about it until I discovered much, too much, later that that Jesus' commandment was telling me the flesh could not help me. It was the spirit that was my vital road to eternity. 

Even during the rallies of Billy Graham, never a mention about being born again in any churches I heard about made any a stir. Probably because it was never taught in the seminaries.

Maybe some educate themselves out of faith and into fellowship dinners?

2nd Cor 16-18

Daily Renewing My Inner Man

I, as Paul said it best, pray any affliction I experience now is producing for me an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison to my decaying flesh. This is my hope.

Quoteblokes Doubling Up

It Was a Cold and Dreary Night

If success is getting what you want. Then happiness is wanting what you get. If I ask someone a question and they cannot explain it in twenty-five words or less I figure they do not know a thing about it. 

Reading the tea leaves

If they are still talking after fifty words I reason they know quite bit about it but cannot make head nor tail of any of it. If they in the process have learned how to teach, they likely spent their time learning to teach and forgotten how to learn.

If anyone is educated then they know the Gospels do not agree with each other, and so they have proof it is all due to collusion?   

Power praying

He is not here

Some, hopefully many, are emotionally charged reading the Bible, thanking and praising God. I focus on Jesus, and continually thank the Holy Father. Earlier, sometime ago it was, I received answers from the Holy Spirit often.

Not always but No emotion equals no power is my sense of it. Praying seemed then primarily leaning toward matter of fact. I would have to say aggressively so but with very dramatic consequences for me personally. 

I concentrate solely on faith now with a strong increasing edge on my no matter what attitude. There is a greater sense of emergency in the air that only increasing age brings into the mix.   

Morning on my mind

My Devotional Readding Now

When God impresses me most

I do not stop in my morning devotional, I read until I am satisfied. I, who bought and received devotionals all my life, but never read them, stopped reading in November last night.

Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Psalm 73:23-24

I often stop when I read a verse too good not to dwell on it further at the time.. I sometimes wonder if I have picked up my cross yet, I have put it back down so many times. I want to be in glory but the body says not right now. However I am further on than before, On the go again....

When my flesh gives up the spirit

Not Easy Shaking Loose the Flesh

If I did not believe after my body gives up the spirit that things will continue to exist, then I am afraid I might not exist, but continue to know it. Not existing is a state of the spirit which once existing knows itself. 

Otherwise to my mind a person never could exist which cannot be true. I believe, as I find many do, that everyone existing exists forever similar to Eternalism. I would know internally that I no longer exist eternally forever. To avoid this problem it seems to me at this point is that the single most primary force I need is not reasonings, but faith.

Seen & Unseen difference

Being  Cautious of Change

All things that are seen are subject to change and are temporal like the flesh. All things unseen are where the temporal are conceived, in a state where there is no change and so is eternal. This is where the transcendent spiritual resides in an unchanging present tense state. 

Individuals are all first born in the flesh tabla rosa and must be born (again) in the spirit to continue into the hope of eternity of what they believed. 

Time appears to be stopped

If they are not, and this is what I personally believe, is that if they are not, then they will get whatever it was that they did believe to unexpected consequences. Unexpected perhaps because of continuing effects of unpredictable unchanges.  Since I do not know all the questions involved, nor even if I did, do not know all the answers, this effort is  continually updated.....  

Jesus said

Everyone is either drawn by God  or not. I was drawn and accepted Him because all His  commandments benefit me. 

Chapter and Verse?

Peek into Manna (click here or in Manna in left column) I would like to find time for my favorite verses again. Thinking of typing select ones in a list to get them together, maybe even memorizing a few just to have a toe in the water in the chapter and verse league.  

Why?

Transcending the Transcendent 

Why do I believe in God? I believe because I enjoy it and I am engulfed in it. I am not encamped round about with doubts or anything else that includes the flesh, nor any kind of information nor knowledge, true or not true, nor anything valuable one of a kind whatsoever.

Even the overly educated stand with empty pockets in the final tally up. Too much knowledge promotes time consuming doubts. Also even valuable objects, simple as they are, are not owned. They are only momentarily controlled. 

Soon, as time continues to fool us all, life will be over getting better and right in the middle of it all, it is time to wear out and break down on an inevitable glide path into incinerated powder. All because the seen is temporal and the unseen is eternal? This is where power is seen because I believe for my part everything seen came out of the unseen.

Anything eternal is eternal for a reason.  

Why Things Circular are Orbital

Every Good Thing Comes Down

From the Father of Lights

 When I arrived in Greenland the sun no longer went up and down, but around and around. Are all things circular orbital in the foundation of things? Why would that be?

No Matter What

I strongly suspect there is a reason but I do not know it. And so what if I don't? It may matter but it doesn't for me. I believe what I believe and I do not know how and I do not know very deeply why. 

I do not care if it is true even. The truth may exceed anything that appears to be so, or not so. Magic now, facts later.
