Monday Morning Message: Monday Morning Message - Sanctuary of Self & Who's there with you? 9/16/13

11:11am/pm pops up on the clock all of the time, it reminds me of the Lord ,telling us, reminding us, that we are never alone, I think of the set of foot prints in the sand, running in tandem and I think of parallels. Similarly,kids these days are so over exposed to technology that they see these two symbols and think, Oh that means PAUSE (you know those two marks that resemble and equal sign turned on its head?!) they learn to play videos before they even learn to count. Thats relationship language.

When we pause, or remain still we have to learn when its profitable to wiggle and when not. Like untangling a knot in a chain necklace! If you start tugging on it, willy nilly, your apt to make the snag worse. Whereas, if you take a moment to observe, and to find a spot where you can anchor one portion, so as to free up the other, thats where solution is obtained, that point where you can anchor & gain leverage

So this type of stillness, waiting on the Lord is a skill built through obedience, adapting to our Creators dialogue while always verifying its authenticity. Trying the spirits trying the spirits, all ways. Its those little actions of obedience & the resulting congruent byproducts. After a bit you get to notice a pattern, or at the least it develops a space of comfort and familiarity.

Its natural, the feeling of wanting to wrestle, manuever, break free of, loosen the restriction, we feel this when we are being pressed on, by something or someone. Thats when you know its time to pin that object, situation or outcome onto Jesus', He settled all matter on that cross for the saved as well as the unsaved! He is familiar with our language of anguish, His own creations, His own language, which He is Co Author and facilitator thereof.

How can we know the method and place of communication within our worlds when chaos tries to distort our hearing? Also, be mindful, that the emotion of FEAR attempts to send visions of terrible context to the screen of your mind, which includes images you look at in everyday life as well as images you produce from FEAR BASED, ANGER BASED or SIN BASED thinking.

Just as God speaks to us in this language very personal between you and He, it is done so in the most comfortable and comforting way. God is very polite & unobtrusive , like a parent would present you with options allowing one to expand and stretch forth into potential where reward meets edification.

Years ago, I was asked by my College Professor of Advanced Reading & Writing; whats the farthest I was able to reduce a story? Which is an interesting exercise, if you've ever attempted to do it? Greater impact is made when a concept can be boiled down to a word or two, or a phrase, and those are built upon with others until you have words bursting at the seems with meaning by the previous, stuffed with relation. Thats the type of decor that is present there, in that private space where just you and God walk.

So, ultimately this place, you'll have to find yours on your own. Its not hard though, You already know where it is, you visit there everyday, when you are deep in thought, when you are driving, showering, or almost asleep. Thats the place where God visits, deposits visual, visible, audible, auditory, thought based, sensation based, spirit based thoughts and memorabilia from your past answered prayers, confirmations of acknowedgement and trophies of victories in Christ already won!

Take a good inventory of this place, be a good caretaker!
