In the last several weeks I have been on a journey to find closure and resolve at a new level. It is amazing to me however the winds that have struck a chord during this time: winds of pain physically, winds of confusion and distress and winds of down right complacency. Yet the Lord has been faithful to remove the dross and allow me, as I entered in, to see the temple light reveal his gems. Leaving me in such a place of rest and assurance that with everything in me I know what I am to do…Keep Watch and pray!

Mt 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing-ready, but the flesh is weak. 

Willing means: ready, eager, or prepared to do something: he was quite willing to compromise. given or done readily: willing and prompt obedience. 

Compromise: ability to listen to two sides; they reached a compromise agreement, understanding.

Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, what things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

This raised a question in me as I thought about several things that have been on my heart…if it is that easy then why do so many still have ought over such petty things and why is it so easy to fall into opinion verses come boldly to the throne of grace.

Again the word welled up in me: Mark 11: 25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

The word forgive means:  forgive |fərˈgiv| |fərˌgɪv| |fəˌgɪv| verb ( past -gave |fərˌgeɪv|; past part. -given |fərˌgɪvən|) [ trans. stop feeling angry or resentful toward (someone) for an offense, flaw, or mistake  See note at absolve .• used in polite expressions as a request to excuse ignorance, or impoliteness : you will have to forgive my suspicious mind. • cancel (a debt) (i.e. - a willing heart)

Mk 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. Mk 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only?

Which immediately brought up in me:1 Cor 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

And finally one more thought: when I was working on the Light of the City web site I had the privilege of uploading a 16 tape set called: Gods Ultimate Intention. In the very first tape it was so clear to me the power God has; and how nothing else should be allowed to take precedence, therefore when it comes to love and forgiveness it is truly all about the heart of God and nothing about the vain idle expectations of man. This was so cleansing to me it released healing in my heart in my mind and actually in my physical body…I am still not fully out of that state of anointing when truth and experience overtake you in that moment of temple light revealing change. And what is it you might ask that overtakes…its love. Leading me to realize there is truly a covenant of marriage that I do not always see much less relate to yet none the less there.
