So Why Do You...???

 And Why Does It Matter...???

The questions echoed in her head.  How can they think it doesn't matter?  She asked herself.  They all had lied to her.  They all had in some form or fashion tried to manipulate her for their advantage.  When does it stop?  She spoke, "It matters!  I don't know about you, but my Bible says 'You will, on judgement day, give an account of every word, deed, and action done.'  No free pass.  Why do they think it is okay to do this to others?  I do not do this to them."   She heard Holy Spirit speak through the din of advice - you just need to forget this.  It will always hold you up; and she felt the usual anger rising over the injustice of the deceit and trickery that had been carried out against her.  His voice pierced through the hurt, anger, and chaos of being a hurt human.  "It's okay.  Give it to me.  You know why...stop and think!  Tell me why."  She thought for a few minutes and then haltingly the words came out, "Because I do not want to be like them."  Instantly, the anger left.  Peace came and order brought to chaos.

Well, I Did It Again....

 Wait, what was that?  I did not obey the Lord.  He said to me, "Write."  And I replied with, " I don't 'feel' like it, Lord.  With all that is going on in the world, what do I have to say that would mean ____________ anything??? (fill in the blank).  The injustices, the wrongs, the lies, the deceit, the take advantage of another, the backbiting, the backstabbing...on and on it goes...No one listens anyway...what's the point?"  

As I saw a prophecy from people who seem to hear from God all the time and have a lot to say, I was reminded of the last time this happened.  My promise to God to do better next time and to be obedient.  So here goes...even though I don't "feel like it."  Forgive me, Lord, and help me to do better next time.  

Jesus has been speaking to me lately of frequencies and sounds and how God is a frequency.  God is __________...we can all fill in that blank with the words of how we see God.  God is all-powerful.  God is everywhere at all times.  God is never-ending.  God is our healer, our Savior...but lately, I'm reminded of how important frequency is.  I'm not much of a 'science' person.  I'm more of a creative artistic day dreamer type that does not care much about the science of things...I just try it and it comes together is more of the way I go about life.  That might explain a few failures too, but nevertheless, it is me and I accept me for how God created me.  So there...take that....all you brainiacs.  God uses us all. He needs us all.  My spouse deals in the realms of quantum physics.  He understands it.  I look at it and squawk.  Squawking is a frequency.  And my mind goes on rambling patterns in every direction trying to pull out what exactly are you wanting me to say, Lord.  

Frequency, frequency, sound, sound, - what comes to mind.  Two things immediately come to mind - Resonance and energy.  Praise, Worship, Singing, make a joyful noise, play your instrument skillfully.  Sing, dance, clap your hands.  If you do not, the very rocks will cry out.  It is already established that what you feed on will come out of you.  There again, as I have said before, my previous pastor, retired Pastor Wayne Friedt always says, "What you feed grows, what you starve dies."   So again, I am reminded of the importance of this truth.  If you feed on bad, you will start to speak bad (think down, depressing, oppressed, suppressed, etc.) if you feed on positive, you will speak more to the positive (liberty, free, happy, carefree, alive, well, healed, prosperous, etc.)  I find this very true even when I'm just sitting around the house and if I choose to let my mind just veg...yeah, you know..binge watching whatever, it's not long before I find myself in this mind numbing oppression.  However, if I choose to put God in everything and filter, filter, filter, I will, without a doubt, be more upbeat, have more energy, feel better.  

So I want to leave this post for thoughts of encouragement.  God wins!  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.  Even in the midst of this battle, we know the outcome.  God Wins!  We read the back of the book, The Holy Bible.  We know that with God all things are possible.  As God spoke to call the chaos in to order, we need to speak to call our chaos in to order.  Whatever you are facing today, Friend, there is nothing that is too difficult for Jesus to handle.  Frequency, resonance, those deeps ends of high and lows, the power, the tremble as the rocks cry out praising the creator of this universe.  His name is all-powerful, Jesus.  Jesus.  Jesus.  Feel that energy rising.  Life giving and sustaining energy.  What is your frequency?  Does it have power and energy with it?  Does it bring life?  Does it make you do and feel better or worse?  Frequencies matter.  Frequencies do have the ability to give life or take life.  And you thought the praise and worship service wasn't that important.  Really?  

Lord Jesus, put me at the altar with the angels singing "Hallelujah to our King!"  How you saved us and redeemed us by your amazing grace.  All mercy from you unto us, let us now bow our knees and declare you are our King. Jesus, We praise your Holy Name!  Let the rocks cry out, let our voices shout.  You spoke the worlds into being, and you let us use your name.  We speak let liberty be, for all you see, as you Jesus died and took our place on Calvary.  We give you all praise, honor and glory, God, and thank you for the gift of your Son, Jesus, and you filled us with your Holy Spirit.  We sing of your amazing grace, your unending mercy, and oh, fill us with the sound of heaven.
