Protection/Power

We stay inside Yeshua (Jesus) for protection.

He stays inside of us for power (enablement).

(Of course there are many other functions in these placements, also).

John 15 is His discourse on the necessity of remaining in Him, Him in us.  Otherwise we may not fare as well in this battle we face daily.

Wait Longer to Heat UP.

Waiting on Yahweh is good.  Waiting longer can be even better, as when a pan stays on the stove longer:  IT GETS HOTTER!!  Duh!

In any given session of waiting, once attention is focused on Him, see how long you CAN wait.  Say, substitute for a one hour T.V. program.  He will heat up your spirit/atmosphere, take you places.

Our many "doings" tend to blur focus, block power.  If the pot's not on the element, it can't heat up.  Or, you may be walking in the fire, so stay in it as long as you can by grace.  It gives you an advantage.   Kingdom First @ all xx.  He'll show you when to move forward.

 *Turn up the fire, to go higher!*Let's hope that just means waiting longer, not hotter circumstances!  Uh, hope is good:)

Midnight Oil / Preparedness

PREPAREDNESS.  Oswald Chambers says, It's preparation AND preparation!  John Sanford says we who heal earth need this walk.  We know it in our minds and in our spirits.  The 5 foolish virgins were short on this.  Are we READY TO WAIT LONGER ~ AS MIDNIGHT APPROACHES?

Midnight darkness is deep darkness.  We will need all the supply we can get!

Should the Bridegroom tarry.  What does that Darkness look like?  Evil.  What is the preparation?

Mentally:  expect the unexpected.  Your theology might have to bust the box it's currently in.

Spiritually:  We are ALWAYS to focus on the UNSEEN.  As we do, we become what we behold: empowered by Yah whose Kingdom is to Come to earth, as in Heaven.  WORSHIP Most High.  REMAIN IN His Son - THAT IS ALWAYS OUR PLACE OF spiritual SAFETY!

Physically: Go ahead and store food/water, have emergency shelter.  But BETTER IS: press in to operate in the "powers of the age to come".  Do what Yeshua did:  Multiply food.  There is also water available coming out of the Spirit realm; divine oil emerges: supernatural supply.   

Best to not give up if He delays.  Evil may wax worse, but that doesn't mean He isn't STILL COMING!  If the oil is HOPE, we MUST maintain that, be ready to need/use extra supply.  On the other hand, His delay is no reason to go all fleshy and act out junk.  But that's another parable!

Miraculous Oil. (Guess I better start blogging again!)

Chanuka is celebrated because the Macabees during warfare ran out of oil for the temple lamp, which was to be kept burning always.  Miraculously, the oil did not diminish for 8 days!

The 5 foolish virgins ran out of oil waiting for the Bridegroom.  Yeshua taught that parable in the new covenant.  

He would have celebrated Chanuka when He was on earth.  The running out of /supernatural oil in the temple happened BETWEEN the old and new covenants.  Applying that now, oil portrays Holy Spirit SUPPLY.

Unfortunately, the unwise virgins could not access the miraculous!  They went to try to buy oil and missed the main event: coming of the Bridegroom!  The 5 wise virgins were well-equipped.  Plenty of oil!

BE READY TO ACCESS THE SUPERNATURAL IN THE LAST DAYS, which are NOW.

From Within

Eve didn't comprehend, nor did Adam, how vulnerable she was, having been taken out of his interior, to be created.

Human internals are protected by our exteriors for a reason.  Since woman was taken from within man, was she the target of the deception in Eden, perhaps, being more vulnerable?

AND YET - since the Kingdom of Yahuwah Elohim is WITHIN US, then she may also have a spiritual advantage, being taken FROM WITHIN. 

Y'shua said that the Kingdom is within us; in the epistles it is said, Messiah within, our hope of glory.

It is an interdependence, though, generally.  She needed man, to be taken out FROM.  He needed a worthy companion.

Why Is LOVE the GREATEST?

According to 1 Corinthians, of Faith, Hope and Love, LOVE is the GREATEST.  Why?

Faith is pretty great, indispensable, and without Hope you're hopeless - bland and despairing. 

But I realized, LOVE LEADS TO Hope and Faith.  If you don't care, why bother with hoping or believing for the best?

Love ignites hope ignites faith = you can SEE IT - IT just happens to be AHEAD OF TIME.

Which is because You DO Care about the someone or something.  Because you LOVE.

Conformity to Non-conformity?

I was brought up to be basically a non-conformist, though not in everything.  Some things are right to conform to.  But others - variables - are, well, variable.

But somehow I detected that in certain general "groups", in order to fit with those particular misfits, one must "obey" a whole new set of "rules".  Yuck.

Like, what you are "supposed" to approve or disapprove.  What you may or should not wear; what kind of hairstyle - it's "supposed" to say something about your inner being.  Ick.

Why should a person conform to non-conformity?  I like what I like, not what the "they" of my "group" say.  GOD!  What happened to genuine creativity?  Shade it however you like.  But the absolutes - they stand alone in the clear light of Day.
