Word.

1 Thessalonians 2

3) For our exhortation did not come from error or uncleanness, nor was it in deceit. 4) But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.

5) Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ. 7)But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children. 8) So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.
9) For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
10 ) You are witnesses, and God also, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe; 11) as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children,
12) that you would walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

There is so much here I don't even know where to start. I want this to be my testimony in ministry. I want this to by my testimony at home, and among my peers. I ask for an End Vision for these fleeting eyes, and this insatiable heart.

What we have is not equal to what we are.

My Friend, what are we afraid to lose that we would hold after this breath of life expires and the silver cord is severed, And this dirt laid/made flesh retires? Can it be preserved, This stuff we've made our lives?
Can we hold it in our hands before Him, The giver of all things? Will it match the value of crimson royalty? Could it be counted a worthy exchange?

And when He holds out His hands before us…..the ones that bear our names, what then, what then? The spoil of our life will be as ashes in the wind. Dear Friend, count the cost……what is it to gain this kindling wood world if our souls are to be lost? Let's mark ourselves of Him, And store our treasures in Heaven, And shake the ashes from our feet, and the dust from this earth, but NOT IN RETREAT. To lay hold day and night the promises of OUR King. To contend with earnest and sobriety. My lamp burning with abandon do not let me be caught sleeping!!!! Let my eyes be kept watching with fear and trembling.

I will not be swept away with the "goodness" of humanity. With The Oprahs, The Bonos, and The Sean Hannitys. My allegiance is Christ THE ONLY ONE WORTHY. To Know Him, to Agree with Him, to Obey Him, to Love Him, to Burn for Him, to Die for Him, is but to Live in Him. I rid myself of that which is titled Emerging. For the ancient paths of Wilderness Seeking from a broken heart Yearning.....OH THAT I MIGHT KNOW HIM!!! OH THAT I MIGHT KNOW HIM. This God Man, the First Born From the Dead. The Son of the Most High God!! JESUS! JESUS! JESUS! The soon and coming King! This Mystery of mysteries. Who exists outside of time and measure, and yet gives season to His return. All for our sakes He makes time and turn. To call upon His name and be saved. From the splendor and emptiness of this debtor's grave. This world that man made.

Prepare the way Oh heart of Mine!! Stop spending your money, your treasures, on prostitutes and lesser things. Stop eating the temporary to fill this God-hole inside of me. I am a black hole that can only be satisfied with the Intimacy of eternity, with abiding In the Secret Place. I will eat His flesh and drink His blood. The two shall become one flesh. I in Him and Him in Me. His words are Spirit and they are Truth. His words are the essence of eternity.

Only in Christ Jesus is there life and Life abundantly.

Oh God, send your Son to come quickly.

Oh Timothy, Make yourself ready.

Come quickly Lord Jesus, COME!
