This was a letter given to Christians, a letter to peoples who know of
God and know of His great graces and blessings and respond through
faith and obedience ....( as I have been blessed and understand and
responded through faith)---a gift He gave me unmerited through His
blessing)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That most difficult of obstacles
preaching the Cross of Christ
is the very heart of God
do you understand it?
Are you sure?
Holy men, the Dali Lama the Buddha fell short of it,
you do not remove the veil by calling it a veil.
* Laughter*
much joy!!
Abraham with all the blessings and promises did not see it know it.
It is your most blessed holy gift, have you come to the end of your
understanding?
this is the place of the cross
the very heart of God our Father
most Holy most adorable most magnificent God our Father
Have you said, ( and if not give God permission) God most Holy Father
let me follow Jesus to the very end of my understanding
break my heart
break my mind
break my very soul
give it and let Him break it, do you understand?
Say:
with all my strength I give this to You in faith and love
to understand Faith and Love
give me the prize this hungry heart seeks
to know the very heart of God
let me not rest until it is done
and when it is done
let me cry *MORE* MORE* MORE*!!!!
Paradoxes to resolve:
God has cast the worm
to understand His very nature
to turn into the butterfly
by destroying the worm
*Ask* seek* knock*
Give God the promise of giving Him all of you
*Laughter* joy*
oh my body sings!!
Paradox:
--look at the two commandments, all the prophets and the Law hang on
these two----all of them
we think so often we are holy and are warning others out of love
because we are more holy. The one you are warning is your very
neighbor!! Resolve it by asking God if He will take it from you first
before you answer with warning.
*laughter* *joy*
Listen to my joy, hear my joy..
oh hear from the heart broken and peirced so gratefully by God
this worm that He cares enough to shake and shake and turn and turn
to butterfly---one lowly worm!!!!!
the fine silk once woven as spider web to trap the worm has become the
nest a place of rest for transformation, where wings will be
wraught!!!
Oh hear my joy!!!
Hear my, feel my joy unspeakable!!!!
it is no burden
ask yourself before you respond to anyone, make this oath to
God, God I love You with all my heart and soul and mind and strength
with all that I am and all that I will be
then answer, do not run away, but answer, answer
if you do not ask you do not see the test and paradox, the very center
of the mystery, you do what you do and it is the goat and not the lamb
that goes to the cross.
let Him break you and fill You with all that He is
Oh hear my joy, hear my joy!!
share my joy share my joy, please if any prayer be done
only this Oh Father let them share my unspeakable
breathtaking joy!!!
paradox: obedience to Him and love of man
Holiness and Love
Abraham was faithful to God as were his children
He knew and received His blessings
He knew God loved Him
He knew and recieved His Blessings
and his greatest offering back to God was faith
What is the New Covenant, what is it truly?
How are you different from Abraham?
I had to ask this question
For I had received God's blessing touched by His grace unmerited by
me, I had received faith in Jesus Christ my Savior and Lord -received
the knwoledge of His Love before I could ever truly love HIm
but after all what is a worm touched by grace except a very grateful
worm, an exceeedingly grateful worm?
God's purpose is to make each and every one of You He has touched , me
included into the butterfly, more so much more in mind than the
grateful worm.....
so much more oh feel my joy!!!
Have you asked, how is your relationship to God different from
Abraham, believing in faith and obedience because of HIs faithfulness?
The paradox:
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
yet God also says:
So if He does not want that from us, why did He give that to us?
Covenant is an oath between two, it is a hard road resolving these
paradoxes, but the treasure is discovering the very heart of God, and
that is the prize,
above all prizes.
hear me above all prizes
The paradox: Jesus Christ, fully human and fully God
has the paradox touched you yet?
Follow Jesus all the way through everything, come to the very end of
your own understanding, the very end---where heart and mind and soul
and strength is BROKEN and give it to God and never give up and never
give up and never give up.
Oh please hear me sing, never ever give up
Oh please hear my cry get up and try
Doctrine does not answer the questions of the mystery.
The heart sings the answer of its joy unspeakable, the glorious
majesty of God's answer to the world.
The greatest blessing I could ever give you is to agitate you into a
great hunger ,not feed you, for it is God Himself who fills the heart.
But I want you to know., I want every single one of you to know, and
still I say how oh how Lord can there be even more than this?
From the very first I wondered, when given the gift of faith
How can there possibly be more?
and I offer Him my hungry heart crying out
*MORE* MORE* MORE* !!!!
*Laughter* Laughter and joy*
there is unbelievably more
and somehow there will yet be more
(helplessly agog)
not that I could not die today and be in eternal bliss, but to know
and I can't even comprehend that there is MORE, MORE MORE in heaven.
the goal of your faith is salvation. The goal. Remember that tand
look back at Abraham,ask what is different between you who have
received uunmerited blessings and abraham---who followed to the point
of sacrifing his very own son.
*ask seek knock*
May God bless you and keep you precious lambs and above all give you
the heart that hungers to know the answer to the heart of God through
all these paradoxes.
Amen and amen and amen.
Thank you most glorious Father through the gift of Your Son, Jesus
Christ, forever and ever.
Oh my heart sings with every beat thank You!
Christine
