DANCE OF FIRE

I wrote the content on this blog with sincere and holy intentions with the knowledge that I had at the time... We live, learn and amend...as errors are exposed and more truths are revealed...

Only GOD is perfect. It's vital that you seek the Lord to expose any errors that you've embraced. Please ask Him to expose any areas of darkness to you and for what is necessary to do to dispossess what's NOT of truth.

POETRY: DANCE OF FIRE

Flames of fire dance joyfully as dreams of fervor conjure up images of red hot passion for the gusto of life.

Sizzle, spark, explode -

Fireballs light up the sky. Wow! a thunder flash with a clap -

The flames are vivid with the awesome glow of orange colors blended with yellow highlights that accent the blaze.

This display is the bomb torched with a rocket plan. Such rapture has lit our fire. We are dynamite on this journey.

Come on fire, fall on us. Pour your liquid potency. Ignite our souls that we may be engulfed with magnified intensity.

Blow up our hearts. Dance with us....

Sandra

Anointed without Holiness

Greetings -

First of all, it needs to be certainly clear that, in human form, there is NOTHING better than a HOLY anointing from the Most High GOD.  When holy anointing is in place, power and glory flows and the impact is hugely potent.  On this earth, the highest realm is the glory realm.  

People in the glory realm glow with shines representative of intimacy with GODExodus 34:30, “And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone;…”  The holy anointing cannot be faked.  The only way to steadfastly flow in it is to totally abide in and dwell in GOD.   

Glory realm power comes from consistent investment in the Lord and being deeply purposed to heed His Words and the leading of His Spirit.  When we diligently seek the Lord, we mature in Him.  GOD is the Mastermind, the Master Planner and the Master Builder.  We should aim, in earnest, to keep ourselves rooted and grounded in our Lord.  Good success is the certain result, according to the Holy Scriptures.  Joshua 1:8 is an excellent reference for that truth.

Glory realm dwellers have intense love, power, and discernment.  People in that realm can often recognize the counterfeit.  Hebrews 5:14, “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”   Satan knows us.  The Acts 19:15, “And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know;…” 

Yes, there can be anointing WITHOUT holiness.  And there is a major difference in holy anointing and unholy anointing.  Unholy anointed leaders/people can indeed be used by GOD to win souls, etc.  What unholy anointed people don’t have is intimacy with GOD.  They have, for the most part, GOD as an acquaintance.  Intimacy is a vital ingredient in order to have friendship with GOD.  Holy anointing is reserved for those who are intimate with GOD.

GOD can anoint anyone to accomplish what He needs done for the advancement of His kingdom.  In the book of Isaiah, it tells that GOD anointed a heathen king, Cyrus - Isaiah 45:1-4.  The Lord said to Cyrus that he'd anointed him even though “thou hast not known me.”  GOD told Pharaoh that he'd raised him up - Exodus 9:16. GOD hardened Pharaoh's heart for GOD'S purposes.  He used Pharaoh’s hardness…for an appointed time…than judgment came mightily against Pharaoh.

Years ago, when I worked in government, it was obvious to others that I had a relationship with our Lord. A woman who worked in the building with me had some business engagements with me, as our offices had needs to work together.

The subject woman came to me one day and stated that she'd been sleeping with her pastor but that she no longer desired to do so.  She stated that he kept pressuring her and she desired that he stop.  I asked her if she'd been to the church leadership about the issue. She stated yes but that they weren’t inclined to deal with it.  She asked me to help her.

I don’t recall if she offered me the pastor’s phone number to call him or if our Lord told me to ask her for the phone number.  Anyhow, I got the number from her and phoned the pastor that evening.  He was belligerent in his denial, and hung up on me. When I phoned back, he didn't answer.

Less than two weeks later, I spoke to my dear Christian mentor. She told me that she'd attended a wait for a murdered pastor.  I asked her his name.  She told me.  It was the same pastor who'd been sleeping with the woman on my job.  My mentor and I were tripped out!

Was the said Pastor anointed?  Likely, yes, but at the appointed time, GOD allowed him to be murdered because he ceased to stop his iniquity.  Anointed with consequences...

Samuel told King Saul in 1 Samuel 15:28, “…The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.”  Yet, afterwards, the Lord rebuked David when he cut off Saul's skirt.  1 Samuel 24:5, “And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.”  And later David said about Saul in 1 Samuel 26:23, “...I would not stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed.” 

I believe that Christians can forsake HOLY anointing through steadfast iniquity.  Yes, we all sin and come short of GOD'S glory but steadfast iniquity isn't the same.  There are judgments from GOD when anointed folks disobey Him.  Steadfast rebellion against GOD costs with unpleasant consequences.  David was anointed but judged/punished by GOD.  Samson was anointed but judged/punished by GOD.  Moses was anointed but not allowed into the promised land. 

Psalm 66:18 - If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

Revelation 2:5 - Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 

Samson lost his HOLY anointing, I believe, as mentioned in this passage: Judges16:20, “And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.”  And then later when Samson prayed to the Lord, he was anointed with supernatural strength to bring down the pillars that fell and killed Samson and the other folks that GOD destined to perish.  Samson killed more people  at his death than in his life - Judges 16:29, 30. 

In 1 Samuel 28:15, Saul said to Samuel, “...God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams:...” 

We walk in GOD'S HOLY anointed form when we abide in and dwell in Him by doing the best that we know how to totally follow, trust and obey Him.  GOD knows the depths of all hearts.  He has expectations of us all.  We need to seek Him for what His expectations are of us as individuals and as a collective body of Christ.

We learn  more of GOD through spending, AT LEAST, daily quality time with Him in prayer, in His Holy Bible and with praise and worship actions.  GOD is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.  Our Lord delights in such sincerity and diligence.

Joshua 1:8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Psalm 1:2 - But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Am I My Brother's Keeper?

Hi -

Years ago, there were more "church mothers/fathers" and other older women/men to teach the younger women/men about how to decently conduct themselves. Now, that doesn't happen as much.

This morning, our Lord shared with me that too many Christians are selfish and consuming upon their own lusts...

The Word of GOD commands in Galatians 6:2 - KJV, "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."

###

More people need to be taught but there aren't enough holy unselfish teachers...

###

It's good to pray for folks but more Christians need to sacrifice time and money to invest in heathen people and needy Christians.  Not enough Christians are in the trenches with elbows rolled up helping others in practical ways. There are assortments of ways to help with NO expectation of money to be paid. Washing neighbors' cars, shoveling snow, handy work, grocery shopping for elderly and shut-ins, visiting nursing homes, tutoring youth, etc.

One reason that society is in the mess that it's in is because not enough Christians are cursing the darkness by light walking with Jesus.

We cannot just confine ourselves to church buildings when the heathen are hell bound in the streets. If they don't come to the church buildings - and more Christians don't come out of the church buildings after services with rolled up sleeves and sacrificing hearts - more folks are going to hell.

###

James 2:15, 16 - KJV
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

1 John 3:17 - KJV
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

###

A shout-out and salute to the Christ dwellers who steadfastly give of time and resources. May our Lord richly reward our diligence in giving unselfishly.

###

P.S. Helping people needs to be done in balance.  GOD can guide as to who, when and how much... 

We must make it clear to those who we help that GOD is the SOURCE - all else is resource.

Got Milk?

Hi -

There's too much sucking on pacifiers when the whole armor of GOD is the order of our Lord.  Strong meat is on the menu.  Not enough people of GOD are partaking.  The devil is witnessing milky Christians and he ain't much threatened...

Now, as for the meat partakers, Satan is tormented by the exploits of loving, holy, bold and kingdom living saints - combat ready to fight good fights of faith for the advancement of GOD'S purposes...

Our Lord knows who doesn't belong in the dairy sections...

There is too much at stake to keep lapping like kittens when GOD needs MORE lionhearted folks digesting meat to do battle against the ever increasing wickedness of Satan.

Souls are on the line - on the way to hell...unless more light consumes the darkness... 


###
 

Does GOD know that you're a Christian?  If GOD doesn't know that you're a Christian - the devil doesn't know it either.

###

Is Satan afraid of you?  If not, you're afraid of him. 

Steadfastly drawing nigh to GOD is the only remedy to put Satan in fear...  Reverse course if you're bound by fear of the devil.    Abide in GOD, curse the darkness and live free!!!  And when you are converted, strengthen your brethren. - Luke 22:32 - KJV.

###

The Acts 19:15 - KJV
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

John 5:35 - KJV
He was a burning and a shining light:

Mark 6:20 - KJV
For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him;...

Daniel 11:32 - KJV
...they that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

The Acts 4:13 - KJV
...they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

Hebrews 5:14 - KJV
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

He Kept His Word

Hi -

I posted the content below on Facebook today.

###

This is a tribute to someone who I "met" here on Facebook.  I don't have liberty to use his name but he knows who he is.  Most importantly, our Lord knows who he is.

Here, I'll call this man, Paul. Paul made a commitment to me, which he kept. Previously, I'd posted pieces about the importance of being credible, and people who keep our Words. GOD is pleased when we are of integrity because, certainly, that's representative of Him...

###

Numerous folks on here have told me that they would order my book, "Warfare Solutions Loaded with the Lion of Judah." ...commitments weren't kept relative to that... I'd rather get a no than a word that isn't kept...

###

Anyhow, again, this is a tribute to Paul who proved that he's credible and a Christian of integrity.

###

To Paul:

From the depth of my sanctified heart, I thank you and pray for our Lord to richly reward you for being a man of your word.  Major thanks and appreciation, Paul.
