Faith As Absolute Concern

Faith can be profoundly expressed as “ultimate concern” or in other words, what we are ultimately concerned about (Tillichian). Faith must express itself toward the subject of its ultimate or absolute concern in a manner consistent with what it holds as its infinite priority. Failure to do so in an on-going dialogue between the finite (existential being) and the infinite (Eternal Godhead) which expresses the principle of identity critically leads to demonic destruction in the subject of faith’s existential state. This demonic destruction takes the form of both the divine and the demonic at the same instance allowing the demonic to appear as light. This is the Apostle Paul’s declaration concerning deceitful workers when he writes: “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). Many of us have had individuals walk into our lives appearing as light and we have made them a priority sacrificing greatly towards their happiness and our own only to discover the darkness that they were living in that allowed satan and his forces to deceptively destroy part or all of our lives. We must accept that our faith in the God of our salvation and His Christ was given to us as a protective measure against the forces of darkness and that placing our absolute concern in anyone else or making them our highest priority violates this protective measure leading to demonic destruction.

Just Participate

I find it so critical in these times, as a believer, to participate in the lives of others! Bringing to bear upon their lives the strength, love, truth, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, skill set, gifts, talents, and compassion the Lord has equipped me with! Just a listening ear, smile, hug, helping hand, encouraging word; making sure just to participate! Wow, so many hurting and confused individuals who seem to have it together publicly but privately struggling and some even tormented! Lord use us your servants and children to help heal!

Divine Love> Always Warranted

Divine Love is always warranted. Divine Love answers every circumstance in life because of its dualistic predilection. Divine Love’s first inclination is “Grace” that makes its presentation by its “in spite of” character. There is no circumstance in this life that can overwhelm or elude this mighty power because it seeks out the offender without merit or invitation. Thus, it brings the offender into its purview by dislodging them from their place of estrangement in spite of their effort to remain in bondage ( the true meaning of salvation by Grace). “Grace” continues to act upon the offender in all circumstances to destroy everything which is against Divine Love until it induces an alignment of the heart commensurate to its revelation (the true meaning of the term “faith”). The subsequent movement leads to the second inclination of Divine Love which is “Restoration”. This mighty power makes it presentation by its directing creativity (Divine Providence). Creatively seeking in present time to establish the subject of faith in the original order of destiny foreordained by the purpose of Divine Love (the true meaning of the term predestination). “Restoration” continues its progressive work as a center line of deliverance until the subject of faith reaches their full destined measure in Christ (progressive sanctification that culminates in spiritual maturity). As believers Divine Love is always warranted in every circumstance and to every individual that we will ever cross paths with because by design this mighty power is the answer to every complex conundrum in life and the only possible entrance for the individual into the kingdom of heaven. 1 John 4:7-21 (Just reflecting in the early morning hour) Shared again in apologetic defence of Pastor Paul J.

Divine Love> Void of Fanatics

Divine Love has no fanatics. Fanatics are individuals who suppress within themselves their gifts and talents usually because of a radix (latin word meaning “root”) of bitterness. They then seek to suppress the gifts and talents of others in their ambit of influence in order that they might gain control through manipulation and domination (the true meaning of the term witchcraft). Once this kind of control is gained, the subject becomes enslaved to the ideology of the fanatic destroying all sense of their personal center (what constitutes our humanness/being). Divine Love counters this detestable state in that it restores the enslaved captive’s personal center thus freeing them from the suppressing tyranny of the fanatic (the true meaning of spiritual deliverance). Many of us have been in the suppressing prehensible tentacles of these fanatics and it takes a great spiritual deliverance and resulting courage to put these evil latent people out of our lives. However, this is exactly what we must do for the sake of true peace in our hearts, marriages, families, and lives. Matthew 14:27 (Just reflecting in the early morning hour)

Kingdom Rule And Order

The Lord’s kingdom has rule (which means it is outlined with a series of boundaries) and it is ordered (which means it has foundations with a series of structures). This is for our protection and not destruction. We must learn to accept this reality and these elements in our lives or we will be open to a rebellious spirit/rebellion (which means a heart that aligns itself with evil, evil people, and evil things that lead one beyond rule and order to destruction) which brings to pass the word of the Lord when it says, “pride comes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall” Proverbs 16:18
