Today's Testimony: The truth about trials

Don't rush through your trials. They are there to strengthen your roots.

Don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.

And when the wind hits hard, let your leaves whither a bit so they bounce in the wind. If you try to be stronger than you are and fight the wind, you just might break.

So, don't pretend your strong when you're not. Be real--that's when you and the Lord can commune and you might just learn the lesson He's teaching.

His power is made perfect in your weakness. Hang in there and sit in your ashes, so He can exchange them for beauty. The exchange there is precise--one ash per petal.

It took time to get into the mess--it'll take time to get out of it. But when we understand that the trial itself is PURPOSEFUL, then we can relax in the teacher's care.

And there, in perfect love, fear plays no role at all.

Theology Is Messy By Design:

During my 53 years on this earth, the Lord has led me to take many different approaches to study scripture: devotionally, academically, historically, exegetically, critically, hungrily, sporadically, sequentially, etc., etc.

Through it all, I have learned to love it deeply. It never stops challenging, changing, exposing, teaching, and nourishing me. Simply put, under the Holy Spirit's teaching, the Bible is a never ending supply of life for me.

As I'm neck deep in multiple research and writing projects, this remains true: The more I know the less I know.

I've come to believe that theology is messy by design. Man has tried to systematize it way too often in order to understand/feel safe with it. We argue with each other about too much.

Where it is meant to be simple, we have made it complex. Where it is complex, we have over simplified it. Why?

Because God set it up to remain outside of our control.

It's all bigger than me. But what a joy to each day take a journey to new depths and heights of this vast reality guided by none other than the Holy Spirit. He is a most excellent teacher.

But I have had to learn to be a better student. Each day I have to decide once again to be teachable. If I want to know the Truth that will set me free, I must seek Him.

Truth is a person and His name is Jesus. Knowing Him (not just of Him) sets me free. He sets the rules of engagement--not me. Repentance and surrender is non-negotiable.

All mysteries are revealed in Him. Because it is about meeting Him. Loving Him. Becoming alive in Him.

Genesis to Revelation all point to Him. He is the Word of God. And G-Z is the only real systemized theology I need.

"For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
Matthew 16:25.

New day, new mercy. I once again joyfully surrender all!

One of the coolest and scariest things in the Bible is the term from the Hebrew Scriptures (OT) of יפע (yp') (yood-pey-ayin).

This is a pulsing light shining forth from God's countenance on something. This gaze of the Almighty is what causes the hedge of protection to be around a nation.

When it is there, there is blessing and salvation. Its endeavors are favored and a unity is experienced within. The land itself even favors them.

When it is removed, anger and bitterness becomes its portion. The land works against them and in some cases will spit them out. Terror spreads along with a lack of social conscience. Self pride and arrogance radiates from it instead, and disunity consumes it from the inside. Even the neighbors see the hedge down and begin taking their share and/or invading it.

One example of this is the cry of Israel in Psalm 80 where they are begging God's face to once again shine upon them.

The cry is not answered.

Such is the case when a nation invokes the name of God for His blessing but does not do its part to honor Him.

In the USA, something began in the 60's that has since been consuming our nation. We kicked God out, but still want His blessing. This is much like taking communion without repentance--Paul describes this as drinking judgement into us.

This 4D box we live in (height, width, depth, time) of physicality is but a mirage of the truth. There is a heavenly realm. There are principalities.

Whom do we really serve?

Just as God gave some over to their passions and ultimately to a reprobate mind, He can easily withdraw His protection by no longer shining upon a nation.

We do this as individuals, too. We want the blessing of the Lord (His part of the relationship) but can be unwilling to own our part. This repeats all throughout creation: food chains, marriages, and the earth itself.

Creation indeed groans.

Choose this day whom you will serve. It's NOT about making this once great nation "Christian" again -- it IS however about owning our sin, repenting, and turning back to God as individuals and communities.

There is but ONE WAY back to the Father, and that is through the SON: Jesus Christ, the Messiah. He is alive and well offering to all the free gift of salvation through repentance: acknowledging wrongdoing, wrong thinking, and every other sin.

God still deals with nations this way. But for those people who accept His free gift and truly follow, His face will NEVER turn away from them.

There is NO salvation without true repentance. We must not just believe---we must follow.

SELAH.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;

And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,

Not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

Hebrews 10:23–25

Lessons in Victory:

At times over my walk with the Lord there have been seasons when I thought my head would explode with all the insight He has given me into His Word—connections that are so deep and multidimensional I could barely contain them.

There have been other seasons where the emphasis was more on feeling His love—I was just sure my heart would explode with the sheer compassion He has shown me—and I have in those times been able to love those around me with a love that was not my own.

As He has matured me, those seasons have tightened until there was a blurring between them.

And somewhere along the line, He has allowed my heart and head to work together as He intended.

What am I really saying? I’ve had both a thick head and a hard heart in seasons. I am the one, through the strongholds within me that I never saw limited God’s hand in my life.

This last season has been one of the most special in my life. I am beyond thrilled and humbled that God sees fit to use me at all. What I love though is that it happens so naturally now.

Recently I asked him to show me the strongholds in my life that I have allowed to be there.

He did.

I had to step out of agreement with those false beliefs taught to me from trauma, hurt, culture, family, and religion.

The war is over with salvation! He took down Jericho within me! For almost 50 years of my 53 year old life, it has been about the other battles that follow.

And the only way to win them is through surrender to the King and His plan. Our agreement—His strategy.

If and when we ignore those battles, or believe falsely that following Christ is a one-and-done contract of sorts, then we fail to experience true freedom and joy from within.

I’ve been learning this lesson all my life. In layers.

He has done a number on me. I am grateful for His touch. His Shalom that I can only rest in when my Mind, Will, and Emotions are His completely.

One layer at a time. One day at a time. He is faithful.
