The Glorification of Christ and His Acceptance by God is the Source of Love

The prisoners held in dungeons were full of joy.

They have no reliance on the outer world.

Their souls are fed by the holiness of Christ and obediance to the master.

They Want Something that they Cannot Be

and so
they bash
in their frustration
(Superiority/Dominance)

Those who deserve superior things usually do not demand them

The Blessed of the Lord

Watchman, tell us of the night,
What its signs of promise are.
Traveler, o’er yon mountain’s height,
See that glory beaming star.
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of joy or hope foretell?
Traveler, yes—it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel.

Watchman, tell us of the night;
Higher yet that star ascends.
Traveler, blessedness and light,
Peace and truth its course portends.
Watchman, will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth?
Traveler, ages are its own;
See, it bursts o’er all the earth.

Watchman, tell us of the night,
For the morning seems to dawn.
Traveler, darkness takes its flight,
Doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watchman, let thy wanderings cease;
Hie thee to thy quiet home.
Traveler, lo! the Prince of Peace,
Lo! the Son of God is come!


So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
Ezekiel 33:7

We as a christian community have failed our duty. We do not have the power to heal the sick. We are not self-supporting.

I cannot be with anyone

At that moment the sun touched the blood-red petals so that they shone more vividly than ever, and a little whisper rustled from the leaves.

My name is Bearing-the-Cost, but some call me Forgiveness.
Then Much-Afraid recalled the words of the Shepherd, On the way up the precipice you will discover the next letter in the alphabet of Love. Begin to practice it at once.


She gazed at the little flower and said, Why call you that?

Once more, a little whispering laugh passed through the leaves, and she thought she heard them say, I was separated from all my companions, exiled from home, carried here and imprisoned in this rock. It was not my choice, but the work of others who, when they had dropped me here, went away and left me to bear the results of what they had done.


I have borne and not fainted; I have not ceased to love,
and Love helped me push through this crack in the rock
until I could look right out onto my Love the sun himself.
See now! There is nothing whatever between my Love and my heart,
nothing around to distract me from him.
He shines upon me and makes me to rejoice,
and has atoned to me for all that was taken from me and done against me.
There is no flower in all the world more blessed or more satisfied than I,
for I look up to him as a weaned child and say,

Whom have I in heaven but thee, and there is none upon earth that I desire but thee.

by Hannah Hurnard "Hind's Feet in High Places"

Isaiah 63

And I looked,
and there was none to help;
and I wondered that there was none to uphold:
therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

No Power but Faith

Power on earth is not our priority.

We accept what God provides for us and we share with the holy community.

Power, Rank, and Importance are evil to us (unless God has called us to it and wants us to use it for His work).

We accomplish all things through God, not ourselves or others. Remember that cursed is the man that trusts in man!!

So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.

Zech 4.6

Speak (hate/fear/love)

Because of white hysteria

and prior errors (laziness, poor management)

we are involved in psychological games,

destructive to humanity and civilization.

Creating a constant atmosphere of worry and fear.

Betrayed by the devil and hateful minds

If they wanted to steal things, they would shut up about it


They are blabbing because they are trying to do evil.

In other words they are trying to make it other people's business

A-------.

So they are both stupid, for trying to tell people and harrassing them, and they are also just evil.


I want nothing to do with them because they are evil.

They spew nonsense

Everything is available to all

And when not it is because of a moron (one moron or another)

Christ and christian expectations in the face of the unholy

1.They are evil and doing evil

2. They call it good.



WE grow up decent
When faced with lower thinking it is destructive

We need a protected community
To develop a higher spirit
As Jesus said --not to fellowship with those on a lower level of thinking

Neither was there any among them that lacked

The record declares, "Neither was there any among them that lacked," and it tells how the need was filled. Those among the believers who had money and possessions cheerfully sacrificed them to meet the emergency. Selling their houses or their lands, they brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet, "and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need."

This liberality on the part of the believers was the result of the outpouring of the Spirit. The converts to the gospel were "of one heart and of one soul." One common interest controlled them--the success of the mission entrusted to them; and covetousness had no place in their lives.
