Come high or low water, we are strengthened by the
love of God. We are made strong by the power of his encouragement. He says, “
It is I, do not be afraid.” His might rushes even in the height of storm.

 The
world is rowing to and fro busy with its own affairs unmindful by the blow of
enticement of the evil one for it has been at home in a rampage. Great was its
desire as a glutton, to fill its belly with riches as it mauls the weak. On the
other hand, the children of God are being tempted but they are made strong
against the power of the world.

 Home is
the sweetest place for in the heart of God, the child of God finds its rest. He
has slumbered in the breast of the Master renewing the soul that has filled its
thirst in the oasis in the desert. The growth of the pine trees in the heat of
summer has been a thing to watch, as its dry falling needles invite fire.
Meanwhile the Holy Ghost is aflame.

 As the
lightning strikes, the needles of the pine trees are struck and so it burns and
the forest is set on fire. The world too is burning in sin, as the house of God
is kept safe while the brothers’ glow with the receiving of the Holy Ghost. We
are invited to the luster of the Spirit as its brilliance fills the house of
God with rejoicing and jumping.

 Love is
ever desired as the hearts burn where lovers meet to share a moment of
affection. Love is blessed in the house of God where we do our turn to please
the brethren, and renew our companionship with our neighbors. There is fire too
in the love of God, in the sweetness of his company and in the rejoicing in his
bliss.

 Come
high or low waters, the house of God is rejoicing in the abundance of the
Spirit that flows in the dwelling of this. The flame is ever glowing with the
heart bursting in joy with the person renewing his commitment to the Lord. Let
us glow with might as we rejoice in great splendor. So let the fire burning!
Let the in-dwelling rush!

 Let us
grow in might for the day signals the Master’s return. Let us prepare us and be
filled with oil. It is good to be wet with the Holy Ghost, as abundant as the
spill of perfume at the Master’s feet, as abundant as the rivers that rush that
leads to the waterfalls. The Holy Spirit flows rapidly and its luster shines!

 Grow,
glow, glow till I be, the breath of the Spirit blowing in me, yes as the song
goes! In abundance or in lack of blessing, in strength or in weakness, the Lord
stays and as much as you want it, you can be filled with the Holy Ghost. God
has the power and he holds the key to blessings. You’re ever preferred, so
plead and pray, kneel and worship.

 Let us
burn with the fire of love! Let us go on floating in the rush of bamboo raft in
the river. Let the green trees sway their branches as the leaves send fresh
air. Let us enjoy the majesty of the mountains! We’re high on the mountaintop!
The ravine is so captivating. Yes, God loves us! We are embraced to the breast
of Jesus.

We are here to see as in the birds eye view how the work of God in saving souls progress. We need to help the people overcome and be awakened to the truth about Jesus. They too need to be born of water and of the Spirit. They must know their God, as he is manifest in flesh to become a ransom for many.

            Jesus desired to bridge the gap between God and man. He delivered us from original sin and became man so that man may become of God. He became the new Adam born in the Spirit, not as the old Adam that was of earth. As a heavenly being, he performs miracles and save the lost and become a healer to many.

            Christ become a mediator for God and man that he may free us from original sin. As our Lord, he continues to save us from sin and desires that by baptism and the receipt of the Holy Ghost, he may save us. We need to overcome our sinfulness by clinging to God, and by prayer and fasting.

            We need to be a Christian faithful to his duties in the Church, desiring purity and serenity while steadfast with our love to God. We must be a reflection too of revive selves growing well with our Lord. We need to be free of burdens of the heart that we may be light like angels in their levity.

            Yes, we need to fly in the air like birds, exploring our life, looking what has happened and viewing the new situation. We need to be glad that we are here happy about the view that we are free and are joyful about our new selves. We must maintain that positive outlook and never forget how we are cleansed, that we owe this to God.

            We must be ambassadors of love and good will and of the knowledge about God and his true nature. We must not live by the flesh but by the Spirit of God, flowing in the clear running water. We are here as guide to those spiritually blind leading them to where there are fountains in high places and springs in valleys.

            We should no longer return to the Egypt of our life and be on bondage again. We should walk and not look back to sinfulness, but shine like pearls as we get rid of the sand that pains us. We should be like butterflies going out of its cocoon, and exploring the beauty of the world, while careful not to fall to sin again.

            We need to glow and be on flame, not contented of being hidden but be in lamp stand and in the place where we may give light to others. We need to proclaim the truth and the reality about God and man, and how they had been one in the person of Jesus. We need to see to it that we shall forever be free while observing the law.

            We need to grow like flowers that are good to look at, and blossom into a beautiful creation, sweet with its perfume. We need to bear fruit and be like the plants that are green and leafy beautifying the garden. We must be a person of good heart and is healthy about his vision and his ideas, willing to help others.

Whisper my love
the sweetness of thy affection enwrapped with mine. Thy luscious eyes detect my
feelings within. You know from the start that I am bound to love you. Ah, you
were there quiescent with your heart locked with mine.

But I did not open my lips, though my
eyes divulge everything. Yes, you know. As a result you were so happy, but I
remain mute with my silence breaking your eardrums. On the contrary, you were
beautiful and I was fascinated even by the way you talk. You smiled and I melted
inside. My heart wants to burst out my feelings. Though I am lighthearted, I
still find it hard to open my mouth when it comes to love.

I was then
beside you stealing a look at those pair of columns that mounts you up which
thy skirt reveals. Hence, I find delight that I was an on-looker trying to view
what makes my veins red and stiff. In like manner, I’m still that man with deep
desire for women, but I wanted them to love me, and show that love to me than I
would dare to speak out such affection. Nevertheless, I would yield for a lady
who would be brave enough to exhibit her feelings, and would let me feel that
I’m important.

I know the only
thing that would make me whole is a love deep, faithful and genuine. I should
feel it, which I would know once it is displayed in our lone moments. Yet, I
would fall in love to a girl who would yield to my desire and cooperate with
me, and not to one who competes with my ideas. Moreover, I love women who’s
willing to be dominated by men, meek they are and submissive and would be
willing to be a helpmate who would love eternally.

And I find a
healthy spirit in you, being the lady that suits to my desire. I saw in your
eyes that you were sincere when you listened to my story. Furthermore, I am
here trying to sense in my heart how passionate I can be with you in the dark.
And yes, I’m bound to speak but I am prevented by some stray thoughts. Fear?
Not quite. Perhaps hesitation. Also a question, are you the right girl for me?

Thus, this
leaves me to venture in the wildness of my imagination.

Do everything in the name of God, seeking for that which is pure and true. Always feel encouraged viewing things from above that you make look down on the beauty of the flowers in bloom. If need be, bear things as though you have wings feasting your eyes to majestic mountains viewing them at a healthy perspective.

            When the world is full of problems, have a heart to divert people’s attention to things that can make them marvel and appreciate rather than feel bad about something. Don’t be a faultfinder or that who is easy to retreat but rather draw persons to the circle of love. Make them feel new bearing in their hearts flowers that seem to bloom.

            Know from your heart that we need to evolve in the circle of affirmation than in the circle of rejection. Do not be heavy with burdens of the heart, but loosen the tight belt in your waist and be ready to float reaching islands than being fastened on the shore. Come, the journey is good to venture on for we are not deprived of the beauty around.

            We must learn to let go of our heartaches, and sail to where we would have to go on checking our attitude than being blind about our own point of view. Instead, consider others as those who are trying to help us, than trying to twist something on their own benefit. Make the sky bright as you color it like the rainbow does.

            Reach out and spread wings of love looking for mountains to marvel and seas to feel their calmness. Be ready to soar where there would be angels to take you in their flight. This simply means that you should seek those whose company can make you happy and light about life than being burdensome with things that can make you old.

            Glow and be happy of the brilliance that your aura bear, seeking things that bloom than being peculiar with things that can make us young looking. Don’t be heavy with problems but rather take things lighter solving them as they come and being happy about your effort. Know from your heart that you are trying to do good than to bear pain.

            You must not be weak when others think you are weak but rather make your weakness as starting point to obtain your strongest factor. Let us move on and not grieve in the dark, when the lamp is available that shall light our way. Never frown over small things, so you can bear a smile when big things come.

            Let us not be those persons whose lord is their wealth, but let us be happy with the word that is spread that can light our way. View from a clown’s levity, not crying behind the curtain but that one who enjoy making others happy. Suit yourself to the tune of the music and be lulled, as you are made healthy by your nap.

            Enjoy for a moment of showing our love to others, appreciating their concern, than feeling bad about them. Come for a walk to the mountaintop, and strengthen your bones as you journey on. Be amazed by the flowers in the field and the beauty of the birds that sing. Liken your self to a swan graceful of its appearance filling us with joy.

Grow with the Spirit and make us refined through spiritual in dwelling and the presence of the Holy Ghost. Let us be filled and not short of oil. Let us be resurrected of the Holy Ghost stammering and speaking in tongues in the Holy Ghost seeking. In stammering lips and another, let God speak to his people.

            Let our hearts understand knowledge, and let the tongue of the stammers be ready to speak plainly (Isaiah 32:4). When a message is given to a person, the one sitting beside hold his peace. We must acknowledge that one Spirit baptizes us in one body, whether we are Jews or Gentiles, whether we are bond or free (I Corinthians 12:13).

            We did all drink the same spiritual drink: for the Israelites drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ (I Cor. 10:4). We drink of the Holy Ghost as we also drink on that Oasis in the desert, as we seem to travel like them in the wilderness. As John truly baptized with water, we are baptized with the Holy Ghost.

            We receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon us, and we are witnesses unto them both in our family, to our neighbors and the world as a whole, as the Gentiles are witnesses both in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. We receive the Holy Ghost like those that number an hundred and twenty.

            As at the rushing of the mighty wind, that filled all the house where they were sitting and there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire that sat upon each of them, we also receive the Holy Ghost with great joy, stammering and in tongues. Yes like them that were filled with the Holy Ghost that spoke as the Spirit gave them utterance.

            They are not drunk, as others suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. This is what was spoken by prophet Joel, that in the last days, said God, he shall pour out his Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see vision, and your old men shall dream dreams (Acts 2:15-17).

            Jesus being exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he had shed forth this, which you now see and hear (Acts 2:33). The promise is unto us and to our children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call (Acts 2:39). We need to repent and be converted that we be forgiven.

            Our sins shall be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord, and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto us (Acts 3:19-20). By stretching forth your hand to heal, the signs and wonders may be done by the name of the holy child Jesus, and as before they pray, the place was shaken.

            Where they were assembled together; they were filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with boldness (Acts 4:30-31).  There were also the seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom. To name are: Stephen, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas (Acts 6:3,5).

Let
us acquaint ourselves to the truth that Jesus is true God and true man because
of his dual nature. Many come to him to be healed of their illnesses, and
through his power acquired from the Father, lepers are cleansed, blind men have
their eyes opened, the deaf have their ears unstopped, the dead were raised
again, and the mute sang.

 It is quite hard to understand how a
certain man was able to do this, unless we open our eyes to the truth that
Jesus was not only a man but he also had the fullness of deity in him. The
Father was pleased that in Jesus should dwell the fullness of the Godhead
bodily. In Isaiah 11:2, the spirit of the Lord simply rested in Jesus.

 No wonder, Jesus said, the one who
has seen him sees the Father also (John 14:9). He is strong in his proclamation
that he and the Father are one (John 10:30). He said, he is in the Father and
the Father is in him (John 14:10) He asks them to believe for the works’ sake
not to what he speaks of his own initiative, but to the work the Father does.

 Whatever you ask in his name, that
he will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son (John 14:13). A Helper
was also given to us, which he asks from his Father, that the spirit of the
Lord may dwell in us forever (John 14:16). If anyone loves him, he will keep
his words; his Father will love him, and they will come to abide with him.

He said he is the vine, and his Father is the
vinedresser. Every branch in him that doesn’t bear fruit, the Father does takes
away; and every branch that bear fruit, the Father prunes that it may bear more
fruits (John 14:23; 15:1-2- New American Standard). All things, asked in prayer
in his name, with you believing it, you shall receive.

The princes of this world would not have killed Jesus if
they only knew of his kingdom in heaven and of his nature as the Son of God for
Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation
(Colossians 1:15). Though he is a child born, and a Son given, he is also the
mighty God and the everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6).

The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all
men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live
sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age while looking for that
blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ
Jesus (Titus 2:13).

God has highly exalted him, and bestowed on him the name
which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father
(Philippians 2:9-11).

 For this reason, we need to believe
of Jesus’ deity as well as his humanity. He has manifest in the flesh that he
may save the world from their sins. He was glorified, an example that by his
resurrection, we may also experience it through being renewed as we receive the
Holy Ghost (Acts 2:4; 2:38).

I care for the fate of the world, at to what extent will
it be leading. I am concerned of the welfare of its inhabitants and of their
chance of salvation. I bleed in tears pleading that God will bestow mercy to his people, that the door of the
bridegroom would not be closed before them. I want to see many being caught up
when Jesus comes.

 I
want a world that is beautiful, where all will have acceptance in God’s care.
My heart would break to see many being thrown in the pit or in the lake of
fire. I would be glad to see them marked instead with the name of Jesus and
with the blood from the Spirit, which is the blood of the Father as he
manifested in the Son bodily.

 The
mark is the Holy Ghost, evidenced with the speaking in tongues, which is the
mark of the blood of the Father in those circumcised in the heart or the
Gentiles. These were those referred in the Bible as the dogs that eat the
crumbs under the table. Aside from the chosen ones in the land of Israel, these
Gentiles are those who shall merit favor.

 As
the Father that calls us his children cares for us, we should endure unto the
end that we might be saved. We should be covered by the blood of the Lamb, and
sheltered with his robe of assurance. We should never be weary or be troubled
for the chance of salvation is for all. We need to repent, be baptized in water
and receive the Spirit.

 We
should be cleaned like being buried deep in water that we might arise new and
purified, and washed as in the pool of Siloam. We should receive the promise of
the Father, which is His spirit that is the Holy Ghost. We should not be
lukewarm, but should consider Jesus as our first love and should not quench the
Spirit.

 We
should be born again as being born in water and in the Spirit, that our bellies
be filled as from there shall flow rivers of living water. We ought to walk in
the truth that shall set us free that our search may be satisfied as we find
the peak of our journey. As the desert fathers have tasted of the meal of the
Lamb, we ought to find fulfillment too.

 We
should crave for what is holy and are acceptable to the Father. We must obey
his commandments, to love God above all, and to love our neighbor as to
ourselves. We should not mind being criticized, for we should also share with
the burden and pain of Jesus who died for us and set a good example that we may
follow.

 With
should love the moment with Christ, and we may lose our life for his gain. We
should die to ourselves, and be born of the Spirit, as those who are of the
Spirit are spirit, and those who are of the flesh are flesh. We should learn
how to sacrifice but there is one better than sacrifice, which is to obey.

 Our
walk with the Lord should not waver, but instead we should adore him, praise
and worship him with all our heart, mind and strength, and be ever a-flamed in
our love for Him. We should not be disturbed with the call of temptation, but
we should ever be steadfast desiring the Lord above all. We ought to learn to
give for the Lord’s purpose.

We need to hope for God’s glory to be filled in us. We must be on fire with the Holy Ghost as we are refreshed every time. We need to grow in being obsessed with the scriptures as these govern our life. We must allocate time in reading the Bible and be familiar with important verses. We need to grow, as we need to increase in knowledge.

            We must be occupied with spiritual things as these can strengthen our life in the future. We obtain power from prayer and we gain our strength to battle through life out of this. Yes, we are continuously encouraged if our spiritual life is strong as this is occupied with our daily meditations and prayers, which we find, time to do.

            We ought to feel that God loves us, much more that we are convinced with this if we are healthy with our spiritual life emphasizing in our life the need to love our neighbor. Let us grow in wisdom of the scriptures as we put emphasis to our prayer and scripture reading. We need to pray for others that they too might be saved.

            Let us glorify God with our actions, and of what our mind contains. Let us purify our thoughts while we need to restore every time the power that had been drained from us in the times that we fail to be filled or refreshed. Give time for religious activities much more the praise and worship as we enthrone God to his seat occupied by him alone.

            When there is difficulty in touching God, pour your heart out shedding tears if possible. We should let go of our feelings and picture in mind that we are embracing God asking for forgiveness of the offenses we have done. We should retain in our mind the beautiful picture of Jesus though he is filled with his scars.

            We must revive our selves in times that we are empty and restore our covenant with God as we are circumcised in the heart being the Gentiles. We need to be filled with glow, as we are engrossed with the thought of God. We are here in a need to be pure that’s why we need the refreshing in the Holy Ghost.

            Let us grow together restoring our commitment to God, and lifting our hearts to him. We need to be new every time to retain our freshness. It is a necessity that we maintain the luster of the Spirit that’s why we always need to approach the altar for a renewed opportunity to be refreshed.

            Our duty is to encourage others to be involved in the same fruitful activity of being refreshed with the Holy Ghost. We need to be strong that we can encourage others to be strong the same. Our role is to be proponent of good things much more the truth about the scriptures. What we need is a positive self that we may affirm others.

               We can do good things through Christ that strengthens us. Through him we can do our turn to help others evolve in the circle of affirmation. The new tomorrow should be attained where we are Christians compassionate and loving to each other. The world is bright and beautiful and there are still many things to be done with God on our side.
