This startles me to say, I am a man of the Heart! I live whole-heartedly!
What does that mean? it means the word is my life, and His judgments, what are His judgments? They are just this, God's righteous law. God says numerous times in the Prophets "Judgment is coming!" the totally startling truth is that they never prepared. You read it! They harden their hearts, and they say in their hearts "That day will never come!" or "I will be fine in that day!" As if you could resist God.
This is obvious in the prophets when they make statements like "I seek to hide my counsel from God" or even more blatant, my idols will deliver me! You read it allowed and are amazed at finding that the Proud are going to RAGE, the IDOL worshippers will be ASHAMED, every thought of man will be humbled, Do I go on? the thoughts of man's hearts will turn to murder, their rebellion will reach to Heaven, and the outcry will come to God's ears.
I looked and I was dumb-struck. What he's saying is this: I am going to reward the thoughts of man's hearts, I am going to bring out their hidden thoughts, and it will startle them, without them even realizing it! What do I mean by that? I mean just that He brings rage out of man's pride just to wipe the earth clean of them! He makes the mouths of men vomit filth out just so that He can judge, convict and sentence them.
If this is not in your theology then you have misunderstood what God was saying. There is coming a Kingdom in which the inhabitants of the earth are subjected to conquering, and conquest. God's judgment will pour out on this kingdom and they will plunge into darkness. I want to show you the light at the end of the tunnel. Jesus Christ! he wants your heart!
What he has shown me he will show to others! what makes me significant, the only reason! is because I say it! Listen! I am His messenger!
"Arise and shine, for your light has come" (Isaiah 60:1) The light has been realized and specifically has come to guide you into all truth. He commands you to give all your worship and love to Him

What are the objects of your captivity?
When you are led away into exile, into captivity, it is easy to tell - by your clothes, by your appearance.
We have all carried around in ourselves the objects of our captivity, we have all turned aside to the right and to the left - while living here on earth we have been tempted by idols, done what we have wanted,
And now that God has led us away into captivity, the very things that He spoke against are the things that we carry around.
This is the idea behind the verse in Galatians "when you were children you were enslaved to things that were by nature not gods"
He says to us, RISE UP, throw off your prison garments, your captive clothes, and SIT DOWN, next to me. I will cover you in beautiful brooches, and in garments of righteousness, I will wed myself to You.
What makes us go back to the things that were captivity to us? it is because we have not given our hearts to Him, it is because the Spirit of God is grieved by our behaviors, and will not speak to us.
If only you knew the things that he will speak to you, the names by which He will call you!
I have only to give myself whole-heartedly to Him, and approach Him, "my Lord" and His comfort will come, and His truth you will know.
But you will say "What does He judge me for? I have committed unrighteousness, but He will forgive me. How can he turn around and judge me?"
But in that way you speak as one who does not know the severity of all that you have done, thought, or spoken on this earth.
It must be that He is just, and that your enslavement is the reason that you put on clothes that were not becoming of you. You put on things that made you beautiful on the outside but which corrupted your heart. All that you see around you burns up but you say "I will be fine in that day!"

We Lift You Higher!
I think that there are many things that we think about, and to give a blanket answer for all of them is a little foolish. But, this does not work with God.
You give Him everything and you put Him first and everything will work out.
I have had a mixed set of emotions today (especially after being graciously asked to allow some students to have personal time with God) - to rest.
Put your mind on Christ, and think upon His crucifixion.
Give your dreams, your plans of marriage, your goals for unity in relationships, your highest and best thoughts to Jesus and say "You have won my heart, now have it all"
You ask me, "why on earth would you do that?" I will tell you why.
He is the only way to salvation, He is the rock of my refuge, he is my fortress of strength, the horn of my salvation, my deliverer! When you look into Him, God says "the vilest offender becomes clean" He's not looking at the outside, He's looking on the inside.
I enjoy feeling sorrow, it is all because of Jesus.
He is real as real can be, the order that he does things in is true, sorrow to JOY
No one can play or know my heart as he does. Can you compare Him with anyone? The more that I know of what He has done for me, the more I know truly, even as I am fully known.
We Lift You Higher! Hosanna in the Highest!

Being struck by suns flares
Well, I was thinking of the verses in which Abner, is slain by Joab outside of one of the cities of refuge.
If you are living through the great tribulation, not even cities of refuge will save you from the vengeance of God towards the wicked.
It seems to me strange to take it out of context, so I will tell you what you must do in light of this (regardless of whether you believe in Jesus or not!)
What else? Pledge allegiance to Jesus.
I think that I have experienced God's JOY, in regard to rejoicing in the work of God in others - it's not in big mansions or even in the place of your dwelling, He has made this come from your heart.
The most cataclysmic exchanges will not occur in the larger things in life, but what God sees in your heart, where you by faith believe in Him, for what matters is the heart.
Sell all you have, finding a corner to burn, and when the prospect of leaving your own homes come, enjoy it, you are empowered by God's Holy Spirit to live extravagantly different from the way the world operates, and all that you do has reward.
There is nothing more depraved than a wicked heart, you will not find any rest when you are put to the test, you will come up as dross, and all that you have will be burned up, even yourself. You have only to run into the arms of Jesus who is fearful - Kiss the Son, lest his anger burn against you.
But those that come to this point will not turn, they will burn.

Light me, O Light of the World!
Being the disciple of Christ, He must be put first.
While in the prayer room today, I realized that the things I can pray for help me to think upon Him more.
Were not some of His last words recorded, "Are you able to drink from the cup that I drink? Are you able to be baptized with my baptism?"
My heart chooses to believe that when pressures comes, like now, what really matters is my love for God is real. So that said, I am going to meditate on His words
He met with His disciples, to celebrate the passover meal.
When He had taken the middle piece of unleavened bread, he broke it and said "This is my body, given for you, do this in remembrance of me"
When He had taken the Cup of Salvation, he said "This cup is my blood for the new covenant, shed for the remission of sins, do this in remembrance of me"
Now every time that we drink the cup, and eat the bread, we proclaim His death until He comes.
I pray just that as you consider the Lord's supper, that you too would be filled up with joy inexpressible, and that you too would rise up from whatever fears are now presently present. There is power in the blood of Jesus
