Isolation, Forgiveness & Friendship Hi Ladies, I hope that you are having a great week. Please contact us if you need prayer or someone to talk to (contact information can be found at the bottom of this page) – we are here for you! For the sake of his great name the LORD will not reject his people, because the LORD was pleased to make you his own. 1 Samuel 12:22 (NIV)
You may find yourself alone today. Or, perhaps you just feel alone. Someone may have caused you emotional, physical or even financial harm and you are choosing to isolate yourself from the world. I understand that. At one point in my life I chose to close myself off from people. I came to the conclusion that people hurt and I was better off alone. In the end, it just made the pain worse. Now I have learned a better way- to bring the pain to God and ask Him for healing. And equally as important- I ask God to help me forgive those who have harmed me. If we do not forgive, God cannot forgive us. It is His law: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven. Luke 6:37 (KJB)
If you give your problems to God and declare that you choose to forgive, you will receive healing, blessing and freedom! “Not forgiving someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” (Author unknown) If you need friends today, ask God to bless you with them. Tell Him your needs and ask Him to help you leave your place of loneliness. He will help you!
Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways. Such wicked people are detestable to the LORD, but he offers his friendship to the godly.
Proverbs 3:31-32, (NLT)
I read in the news that because of computers in all their current forms, most of us don’t know how to have nourishing relationships. We don’t know how to spend time together. Without setting out to, we have become more isolated than ever because of emails, texts, Facebook, etc. I will never forget the day that I was at a restaurant and saw four people at one table all looking at their iPhones and not speaking a word to each other! I guess that they texted each other when it was time to leave! We need people in our lives to be emotionally healthy and God can help us with that- he created us to be in relationship with Him and people- to encourage them and to be encouraged. If you find yourself in need of companionship today, we are here to pray and talk with you. Please contact us if you are in need! We have been where you are and we want to help you. Speaking of friends- Jesus is the best friend we will ever have. He is our Lord, Savior, Brother and Friend. If you have never turned to Him and asked His forgiveness for your sin, would you do that today? He will give you salvation, comfort, guidance, love and real life. All of these things the world cannot give- only He can. Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?
He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.
They will spend their days in prosperity and their descendants will inherit the land.
The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.
My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare.
Psalm 25:12-15 (NIV)

MORNING | HISTORICAL BOOKS BOOK 10 of 66 | 2 SAMUEL Signpost Words | ‘BOUNCE BACK BLESSINGS!’ Highlight Verses | 2 Samuel 7:8c-11 “I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel. And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth. Moreover, I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, Also, YAHWEH tells you that He will make you a house.” (NSB)
Some Observations | Thus far, David’s journey with God has been both a traumatic and testing one. That particular roller-coaster ride is going to get more violent as his life proceeds. Even so, here is David, blessed by God and settled on Zion, looking out from his plush, cedar-paneled rooms at the tented -tabernacle of God and saying, “I will build God a house!” We all have mixed motives for every decision we make & no doubt David had his, yet among the mix of the drivers of our decision making is always a core driver, an over-riding factor, a main motive, and I am convinced that David’s main motive for wanting to build God a house is very clear and very simple. He wanted to bless God.
Final Reflections | I believe the prophet Nathan, David’s personal chaplain, affirmed the core purity of David’s intention by affirming his decision. God, however, had other plans, and yet was obviously ‘moved’ by David’s heart intention, and so much so, I say so much so, that His declared intention was now to establish and bless the house of David forever!
EVENING | HISTORICAL BOOKS BOOK 11 of 66 | 1 Chronicles Signpost Words | ‘PRAYERS FROM ‘THE BACKSIDE’ Highlight Verses | 1 Chronicles 17:16 & 23-27 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: "Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? "And now, O Lord, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, let it be established forever, and do as You have said. So let it be established, that Your name may be magnified forever, saying, 'The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel's God.' And let the house of Your servant David be established before You. For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build him a house. Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray before You. And now, Lord, You are God, and have promised this goodness to Your servant. Now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You have blessed it, O Lord, and it shall be blessed forever." (NKJV)
Some Observations | I have seen boxers be put on their backsides. Not so much on their backs and knocked out, but instantaneously knocked back and knocked down. A punch that came out of nowhere, caught them unawares and unprepared and put them on their backside, leaving them looking up in amazement and disbelief. “Goodness me,” they said (or words to that effect,) “I didn’t see that one coming.”
Final Reflections | O to be so knocked down by God with such overwhelming blessings that they would leave us ‘aghasting’ for the breath of thankfulness!

‘Night Whispers’ – Everyday Bible Insights Written for ‘The New Separatists.’ The space of grace’ continues, and in the final struggle between right and wrong, a revolution is softly under way. Even so, the ‘space of grace’ narrows, and globalism continues to spread like cancer, and with it, control and obedience. The City state continues to rise and the United Nations ‘Strong Cities Network,’ proves itself to be a force of bypassing national constitutions, written and otherwise, by utilizing legislation and policing to outlaw what globalists regard as unacceptable. The Bible believing Christian and the Bible as a book is increasingly seen to be unacceptable in strong-cities. Believe me when I tell you that a time is coming then the City Church will either be utilized by the globalists or outlawed, and in the UK, this is happening right now. Tom Farron, the wicked and weaselly Sock-puppet leader of the party of muppets, AKA the Liberal Democrats, and his national affirmation of Sodomy, is an example of Christian Evangelical compromise and globalist utilization of the same and In my recent correspondence with him I questioned his use of drugs and also told him that I would excommunicate him if he was in my congregation. That giant of a women, Andrea Williams of Christian Concern, this last week noted that “If the current drift in the law is maintained the Bible will soon be declared a 'hate book' that discriminates against vulnerable classes of people. The words of the Bible are being rejected in our nation.’” Andrea goes on to say that “Christians will be the sole religious group singled out as transmitters of hate; other faiths will be respected.” Listen Christian, if you are in the City for the sake of the city, you a re a doomed idiot. Be in it for the glory of God, but have an escape plan, for strong-cities of our future world hold NO PLACE FOR YOU.A Tale of Ten Cities (1 of 10) – I did it my way Genesis 4:17And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son — Enoch. NKJVCain, the first man born of a woman, the coagulate of the original sin now fermenting in his mother Eve and his father Adam; a religious vegetarian, and denier of the need of a blood sacrifice and therefore of his own sin. Well, this same Cain displayed the two traits of the great traitor, his new spiritual father, Satan, in that he was a both liar and a murderer. Yes, Cain murdered, even martyred his brother Able, and from the outraged accusations of the blood leached soil, whose clamor and indignation rose up to heaven, Cain’s then summary trial led to his banishment from the sin bewitched family of God, who took solace in their loss, and offered sacrifice for their sin before the closed gates of Eden, whose same entrance which they now stood outside, was garrisoned by Cherubim’s with flaming swords. Cain, now marked in some way by God to turn away the striking hand of any future avenger of blood, is sorry and sad over his punishment (but not of his sin) and leaves the family seat and begins his ultimately aimless journey further away from the Father. Cain, however, has now a hardened and a rebel heart, and so, rejecting repentance, whilst shaking his fist at God, he puts down his roots and sets down his own foundations, establishing his own community, and his own center of government, and prepares an inheritance for his own progeny in the building of what is the very first of ten thousand rebel cities which shall set up their own bars and gates in the rejection of the rule of the most High God. Even today, the word on the lying streets is that ‘the earthly city’ is man’s greatest achievement of connected and community cohesiveness. Man originally knew nothing but the garden. But the devil had come from the city of the Great King, indeed, the devil had been banished from it forever, except, in the incomprehensible economies of the unseen, to appear before God at certain and appointed times to give an account of his activities. In the mean-time, the devil has been trying to create a shadow kingdom with a billion other trading cities ever since his so great an initial loss. ‘Enoch’ is the first of those rebel cities, the foundation of what is to come, the proof of this devilish concept, even of a strong-city without God: selfish, sensual, seductive, and sinful, a golden city, corrupt and full of murder. God began with a city and not garden. Indeed dear friends, our destination is the very city of God, and what a city it is! Indescribable in beauty, even the joy of the whole earth and the delight of the whole of the heavenly realms! I say again, we Christians are currently in these earthly rebel cities for the sake of the glory of God and the testimony of Jesus. We are ambassadors of Zion, the great city above, and the mother of us all, and thus as emissaries from the King of the whole earth to these rebel cities below, we carry but three words on our lips: Repent! Believe! Return! Tell me then Christian: Why are you so settled in this rebel city? Tell me then Christian: Why have you stopped singing your own national anthem?’ Are you a Christian, or a compromising chicken? Are you a weasel or a weapon of righteousness? Listen: For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: "This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. Psalms 132:13-14 NKJV Pray: Stand to attention! Place your right hand on your heart and sing: Come, we that love the Lord, and let our joys be known! Join in a song with sweet accord, join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne, and thus surround the throne, We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion; We’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God. The sorrows of the mind, be banished from the place; Religion never was designed, religion never was designed To make our pleasures less, to make our pleasures less. We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion; We’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God. Let those refuse to sing, who never knew our God; But children of the heav’nly King, but children of the heav’nly King May speak their joys abroad, may speak their joys abroad, We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion; We’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God. The hill of Zion yields a thousand sacred sweets Before we reach the heav’nly fields, before we reach the heav’nly fields, Or walk the golden streets, or walk the golden streets, We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion; We’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God. Then let our songs abound, and every tear be dry; We’re marching through Immanuel’s ground, We’re marching through Immanuel’s ground, To fairer worlds on high, to fairer worlds on high, We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion; We’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God. ____________ Volume 03, Quarter 2, ‘Of Light & Dark Matter’s’ is out today, with over 300 pages to get you ready for whats to come .

MORNING | POETRY BOOK 19 of 66 | Psalms 1 & 2 & 15
Signpost Words | ‘LIKE JOBBIES IN A SEWER’
Highlight Verses | Psalms 15:1-5
YAHWEH, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart; He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend; In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the Lord; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change; He who does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved. (NSB)
Some Observations |
A vile person is someone who is abhorred, that is, rejected in disgust. A vile person is someone who has rejected the Word of YAHWEH, and who has, therefore, rejected God. A vile person is someone who vilifies the Most High and His servants. A vile person is someone who walks willfully and contrary to both God and His commandments. The upright man despises such a vile person, not just his sin, but his person. This despising is manifest in a walking away from, an avoiding, a lightly esteeming, a rejecting, a treating as nothing, an ignoring, a shunning. The upright man separates himself from such vile people. Hollywood is full of the vile. Comedy is awash with the vile, like jobbies in a sewer. The music industry is compacted with the vile. Parliament and politics are full of the vile, floating in the Westminster loos like turds with plastic grins, surpassing the stuck on smile of Mr Potato head.
Final Reflections |
What are you watching, following and listening to? Are you upright?
--------------------------
EVENING | POETRY
BOOK 19 of 66 | Psalms 22-24
Signpost Words | ‘WE BOW AND BEND TO WHAT?’
Highlight Verses | Psalms 24:3-6
Who may ascend into the hill of YAHWEH? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah (NSB)
Some Observations |
Is this a generation that has walked contrary to its singing? Have we sought our idols and cast them down? Have we cast a noose around all that is higher than God is in our hearts and minds and dragged it crumbling to the dust. The keys to idolatry are found first in our in our verbal conversations. What does the church congregation speak about before and after the service? Saucer in the one hand and cup in the other, quietly float through the post service scoffing of donuts and chatter and listen in. Soccer, football, holidays, shopping malls, houses, music, T.V. All the stuff of Western life for sure, and all indicative of misplaced values, even of idolatry. I wonder if we talk so little of God because we know so little of Him? I wonder if we desire so little of God because we have had enough of Him? Enough to get by living as we like. I wonder if the generation of ‘history makers’ have shown their true colors in light chai latte greens, and proved themselves to be nothing but smooth expensive froth?
Final Reflections |
O God let this be a generation that seeks Your face, O God of Jacob.

Black Awakenings & The Butterflies of Death
Revelation 12-17 "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last." Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star." And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. (NSB) Everywhere I turn there is sodding Sodomite, a fanatical feminist, a rabid, fascist left-wing socialist, other some new debilitating drug, fashion accessory, war, rumor of war, top ten hit, new musical genre, game, etc., and so forth. Black trends, those trends which destroy society are not accidental, but rather are planned and implemented with purpose. There are dark matters being put into place, and a ‘Black Awakening’ is under way. In 1921, the Tavistock institute began as a clinic, and since shortly after its inception is has existed to change the Biblical paradigms of society in all its manifestations, by molding it and prospering its evolution as it sees fit. It was this institute that created and imposed the post- WWII cultural accents such as free love, civil marriage, and was even involved even in MK Ultra, and the creation of the CIA, indeed, it is incessantly involved in projects which bend society to its will and purpose. It is a nightmare dressed like a daydream. The Tavistock institute and its subsidiaries have an annual budget in the BILLIONS, thousands of workers and big plans, indeed, designs on humanity that are long-sighted enough to know that to create what we have today, needed to be implemented often decades before. Satan has his hand thoroughly up the elite’s compliant jumper with but one goal, to destroy Biblically society by breaking individuality, crushing the family and molding the whole into slave compliant sheeple by whatever means possible to bring in a New World Order under Lucifer. This is the direction of the dark agenda’s and a Black Awakening will pull the final drawstring tight. Then all manner of evil will openly manifest itself, and ready itself to consume humanity whilst at the same time face down God in the last battle, which, the devil believes he can win. The devil has long term plans,yes, he has ancient affiliate families, and is immensely organized. Evil never sleeps. The church, however, seems consistently wrong-footed, and so much so, that it fights like a blind comatose held up by Bolsa wood splints and moved by twanging-thin elastic bands. There are three reasons for this. First of all, our eschatology, that is, our understanding of the future is wrong. We have failed to take the Bible literally and in the so doing, many still believe that the world gets better and better until Christ returns for a pure white Bride and sanitizes and deodorized earth. This is garbage eschatology, this is coward eschatology and this is compromised eschatology. Read the Bible literally and know that the churches message is one of ‘fleeing the wrath to come.’ Secondly, and subsequently, our home and our investments are earthly and fleshly. Therefore we constantly seek ‘revival’ and the social and cultural betterment of cities under the guise of Sola Deo Gloria, but it is most truly for own comfort and the betterment of humanity, vis-a-vis ourselves and our families. Despite the great fact that we are right now seated with Christ in the heavenlies, and that we are citizens of Jerusalem above, and are commanded to lay up our treasures UP there, we are intensely materialistic, earthbound, and thoroughly invested in these doomed cities of destruction. We are self-pleasers, self-providers and self-protectors. Thirdly, we dare not face the truth about the wickedness of sin, the corruptness of our flesh and the foul nature of humanity, nor dare we look at the utter blackness of the darkness of Lucifer, even that greatly deceiving black-light-bearer of old. Life under this present sun and all the dark matters of these black awakenings are so terrifying, that we live our lives with our head under the duvet, hoping the bogey man will not come and get us. Yet the bogeyman is here, and that hot breath on your neck is his. Consequently, we are the chosen blind. We have poured the acid of fear in our own eyes, yes, we have taken the back of the heated red hot spoon and burn out our balls. We are the happy black socketed blind sheeple of the devil, all being marched to market and soon it will be dinner time. Since his first rebellion, the devils plans to finally face down God have been thousands of years in the making. Now, as we come full circle to the days of Noah once more, his many black awakenings are upon us. Hold onto everything for the next twenty-five years will be like no other. The New Testament was written long before J.N. Darby, and the Irvingites, and therefore I do not believe the church will be around when the wrath of the lamb is poured out in its fullness upon the followers of Lucifer upon this earth, however, between now and our removal, terrible things are coming upon us, indeed, they are planned, prepared for and being implemented. The darkness of blackness awakes and all the Mariposas de La Muerte are crawling out of their cocoons. Christian, church, organization, mission, business, there are six things you must immediately do:1) Do not tolerate sin. Identify it and condemn it for what it is. NO TOLERATION FOR SIN.2) Do not accept sin, especially when it is dressed up as lifestyle. REJECT sin, turn for it, have nothing to do with it. NO ACCEPTANCE OF SIN. 3) Do not celebrate sin. It is compromised weakness to dance with the devil. It is affable nonsense to deals with darkness and call it enlightenment and acceptance. NO CELEBRATION OF SIN.4) Force darkness out. Let your light shine, Do not allow corruptness to be in your borders. REJECT & EJECT SIN.5) Punish sin. SHOW NO MERCY. Excommunicate it, extinguish it, make it exit. PUNISH SIN.6) "SEPARATE YOURSELVES THOROUGHLY TO GOD AND HIS PURPOSE. Live like this, and Anti-Christ society shall cut YOU out like a cancer. Live like this, and Anti-Christ society shall kill you with their own black chemotherapy. Therefore, we ‘New Separatists’ needs to create our own New Antiochs and a Kingdom of light within the darkening states of this blackening world. Christian, look down into the full facts of the literal reading of God’s Holy Word. Christian, look up to heaven, where Christ Your Savior, the New Jerusalem your home, and heaven the place of your treasures all reside. Listen: For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." (Revelation 22:18-21 NSB) Pray: Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen..

SOME SIGNPOST WORDS | 'OF COMMAND & CONTROL’ SOME OBSERVATIONS | So now we enter wonderland. John last see’s Jesus knocking on the closed door of the Laodicean church, now, after seeing an open door in heaven, and hearing a voice of invitational command, he is immediately, through the power, assistance, and medium of God the Holy Spirit found in full cognizance to actually be in heaven and his immediate sighting is of the throne of the Godhead three, all newly set to meet a different dispensation, and before this throne burns the seven lamps of fire, which I wonder might even be the Sovereign and ruling emblems of God the Holy Spirit. A CALL TO ACTION | Whether this is the ancient throne or a new one now set in a new position of preserving judgement, I frankly do not know. However, o do know that our God reigns in heaven and on earth. He is in charge.

SOME SIGNPOST WORDS | ‘FRET NOT THE DESPOT’ SOME OBSERVATIONS | Ultimate power belongs to Almighty God. The visible manifestation of such ultimate power is the Throne of highest honor, which is ‘high and lifted up.’ From this seat of exalted magnitude all other seats of power, both seen and unseen, both heavenly and earthly are allowed and set up as He sees fit, Him exalting them, establishing them, or ridiculing and removing them at His Sovereign will. No one rules without God’s say-so. No one. All ruling men then, especially despots and dictators, are but vaporous lies. They give the impression of permanent power, of a longstanding rule, of an unending dynasty, only to be wiped away from the screen of humanities temporal historical view by the triple wiper blades of time, disease, and death. Remember that all earthly thrones are but temporary vanities. A CALL TO ACTION | Your place in history is just that, it is but a moment on the time line of the Sovereign Lord. All things pass. Listen. All people pass away. Therefore, live right and live well, and fret not over evil doers.

HIGHLIGHT VERSES | Revelation 3:20,22 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches”
SOME SIGNPOST WORDS | ‘THE EMESIS OF THE LORD’
SOME OBSERVATIONS | If these seven literal churches might also represent the seven stages of the church militant, then it is a shocking thing to realize that the church just before the time of the end, the Laodicean church, the lukewarm church, does not have Christ in it! Rather, He, the King of creation and Great Governor of all things, in disgust, left a long time ago and is now outside, knocking on the door and seeking to gain entry. Should this kind act of His be met with a silent rebuke, then the issuing a Retro-peristalsis rebuke is also slipped through their letterbox, and this malodorous lot will be found splattered on the pavement of His judgment, ready to be washed down the drain.
A CALL TO ACTION | All of these things are said by He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands, the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life, who has the sharp two-edged sword, even the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass, who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens, the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God! Therefore, we should all take very close notice!

HIGHLIGHT VERSES | Psalms 57:4-8 My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men Who are set on fire, Whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth. They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; …….. NKJV
SOME SIGNPOST WORDS | ‘WHEN MORNING BRINGS THE LIONS’
SOME OBSERVATIONS | Together with Psalm 16 & 56, four of our Psalms for tonight (57-60) are set to the lost tunes of ‘The Silent Dove in Distant Lands/Oaks,’ ‘Do not Destroy,’ and ‘Lily of Testimony,’ and are part of six ‘Golden Psalms,’ the six ‘Precious Psalms,’ the six ‘Mitcham’s’ or ‘Miktam’s’ produced by David the King. Whether they were to be played with particular wind instruments or with accompanying cymbals, this makes them all most ‘notable’ Psalms in both delivery and content, the high points being marked with a ‘Selah,’ or literally, a ‘nota bene’ or a ‘note well,’ and no doubt a cymbal crash to boot!
A CALL TO ACTION | Sometimes we awake to find ourselves surrounded by ravenous lions. Sometimes they are the enemy surrounding our camp, sometimes they are the enemies within our camp, the latter being the most frightening, as they have metamorphosed before our eyes into something that might even consume us. When either happens, let us listen for the crash of heaven’s cymbals, & then fix our eyes on God.

HIGHLIGHT VERSES | 1 John 1:1-4 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life — the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us —that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. NKJV
SOME SIGNPOST WORDS | ‘FULLNESS OF JOY!’
SOME OBSERVATIONS | Joy is the truly ‘human’ fruit of the Christian life. A fruit of the Spirit for sure, but when manifest in us, it becomes the most desirable of all the gifts to other souls which might walk beneath the now big boughs of our little happy-tree. Joy is a magnet for sorry souls, you see. Joy is a fragrance that lifts the head of others to sniff the air in smiling enquiry. Joy is a desire to other’s eyes. Joy is a fruit that moves other lips to ask the questions of, ‘why?’ and ‘how?’ Joy is the promoter of smiling intrigue painted on the faces of others. Joy is a plump & luscious fruit that needs biting into you. Joy is a communicable gift of God to us & a gift of God to others through us. Joy is food from the eternal feast that can be enjoyed right here upon the earth. Joy is a never shriveled offering. Joy is ours. Joy is yours.
A CALL TO ACTION | The maintenance of joy is achieved by walking in the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit will focus us on Christ our Savior. A focus on Jesus our magnificent Lord and Savior achieves the maintenance of all our joy.

HIGHLIGHT VERSES | Psalms 19:7-14 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. NKJV
SOME SIGNPOST WORDS | ‘FOR THE EXULTANT WARRIOR’
SOME OBSERVATIONS | These sets of songs are for the warrior, laying out the aid of God to those overrun in battle, and the infusion of God’s power to enable the righteous attacker to ‘run through troop and leap over a wall!’ God is truly a God of war and a God of the tumult of the battlefield, of the sword and of the shield, of the clang and clash of arms. Yet in quiet contrast, the smiling sun leaves its midnight chamber each and every morning and speaks daily of warmth and comfort to those below.
A CALL TO ACTION | The morning Word is the inward light of God, searching the soul.

I think this is true BUT far too simplistic. It is Naive I think there are no national ethnic or cultural boundaries even within the church militant. There are. They might not be as bad as doctrinal boundaries but they are there never the less. Outside of the church, God in His Providence made you citizen of wherever you live. That nation will demand you taxes, allegiance and even your death in protecting the country. These are facts. Therefore acknowledging the providence and wisdom of God we should embrace our nationhood, even it it is revolution against tyrannical governments. The Brits had a religious Christian revolution and for the moment Cromwell still stands with sword and Bible out side of parliament. The USA had a revolution over taxes. Typical capitalists . Nationalism must be CENTRAL to the follower of Christ as an acknowledgement of the providence of God, for the glory of Christ and the love of our fellow citizens. In my country because we Christians have FAILED to be Nationalist we have lost the ear of the indigenous people. We have become the useful lackeys of various self serving government and complicit in our nations downfall.
