The Road To Amazed

The Road to Amazed

I've been reading from St. Luke Chapter 4.
Each time I open to it, I get a new perspective.
I'll think I'm finished and should move on.
Then, Wow, more is seen.

"Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit returned,..."

Breathe Him In

Distractions
leading away from
what is worth
our time
The mind
filled with trivia
Temporal
most of which is
in the end
self imploding
This trap
easily sprung
by allowing
God's breath
to enter
Then our exhale
will bring
a direction
filled with life
enough to
spread around.

"...and was led by the Spirit..."

Temptation

To be tempted
is not a sin
Jesus was led
by the Holy Spirit
and was tempted
Being filled
with the Father's
words
the antidote
providing victory
over every thought
every deception
The outcome
of such a battle
blessing
freedom
leading to abundance
for all.

If You Are

The tempter's
if's and promises
no strangers
to the sons
and daughters
Jesus heard them
too
and with His Father's
words
walked on
To better than any
tempter's hand
could ever comprehend.

In the Power

What Would it
look like
if we were to
get up each morning
in the power
of the Spirit
Jesus provided
the pattern
Even after
what we would
say
was a
very bad month
spent in a desert
He was
filled
and it showed
wherever He walked

"Jesus returned... and news spread
throughout the country."

Do Likewise

Is it possible
that our words
when synchronized
with God's purpose
can proclaim
Bringing release
sending multitudes
hurling
head over heels
into the vortex
of God's love.

"All were amazed at (His) gracious words
...Amazed at His teaching..."

Fully Loaded

Has anyone had cause
to be amazed
when you spoke
lately
If not
stop
and fill your belly
with the living Word
Are you recognize
by your foe
as someone who can
drive them away
If not
go back
Put on the
Royal robes
designed in the
image
of the Holy One
Then
even the blind
will see
the Beautiful One
in you
and come away
amazed.

Glory Preppers

Glory Preppers

I recently discovered a television program called
"Doomsday Preppers". After watching a few episodes
I concluded that these people were "radical" in their ideas.
They had certain common beliefs.
I'm looking for some radical thinkers to prepare with.
I'll call these folks "Glory Preppers".
Their common denominator's are along these lines -

Numbers 14:20... The glory of the Lord fills the whole earth...
Isaiah 6:3...the whole earth is full of His glory
Ezekiel 43:2... the land was radiant with His glory...
Habakkuk 2:14 For the earth will be filled with the
knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover
the sea.

These radical preppers will remember that, ravens can feed
a man. That empty pots can fill up with oil enough to sell
and sustain, starting with the sharing of a small amount.
They will expect to have loaves of bread and fish multiply,
to have water flowing from a rock follow them. Don't forget
honey cakes appearing six mornings a week. Their shoes
and clothing to not wear out and to always have enough chicken
in the pot to feed the hungry.


Saddle Up

All surpassing power
given through God's Spirit
now to man
So many think as jars of clay
alone
So few charge forward
with His faith
His promises
to do the more
laying dormant
at their feet.

Listen Up

Each day
the news delivers
what to fear about
Is this productive
for you
Or would your mind
be better
set on things above
Where moth and rust
do not exist
Where every human need
is stored up
Where God
who sits upon His
Mercy Seat
has sent His Son
proclaiming peace
and given
set in stone
His promise
Restoration
and more than just
enough to spin
not only life
from death
but to include
Outrageous bliss
in supernatural supply.

Relax

All is well
in order
readied
prepared
made new
So little effort
on our part
left to do
Loose the reins
and let
He who spoke
all that is seen
into being
Continue
what He does
best.
