It Just Doesn’t Mix

It just doesn’t mix…

Many are unaware of the ungodliness of what they think or assume is insignificant or a harmless practice.

Ungodly mixtures always lead to ungodly results.

God is Pure & Holy. God’s Divine Nature and order DOES NOT TOLERATE compromised or defiled things.

You can’t profess Christ is your Savior and Source if you dabble with a little Deepak Chopra, Marissa Peer, Ram Dass… or any other person teaching you a different power source than the Ultimate Power Source.

Reiki won’t align or heal you.

Only Jesus Heals!

Crystals won’t help or heal you.

Yes, God created crystals but we don’t wear them or pray with them or line them up on your body expecting them to have any powers on their own because THEY DON’T!

Yoga doesn’t bring you optimal health strength balance or peace.

Stretching our body is good but doing any stretches and poses steeped in ancient idols and cultures is not of God.

There is only ONE – PRINCE OF PEACE. If He lives within you – you already have His Supernatural Peace.

There is no Universal Energy.

There is One True God / Creator of ALL the Universe and His Pure and Holy Spirit.

Anything else is cheap counterfeits that satan uses to trick you and if not careful it will open a foothold for him to wreak havoc in your life.

Meditate on His Word & His Spirit – Period!

There is no need for a special stance or hum or chant or special candles lit.

There are extreme opposites…

Light or Dark

Truth or Lies

Hot or Cold

Oil or Water

Right or Wrong

Divine or Demonic …

and most of us know them and the importance not to mix those extremes …

But many are dabbling in the gray areas.

If it ain’t 💯 % Jesus Christ; our Lord & God – it is a ungodly mixture and it’s not good for you.

Don’t dabble in the gray areas.

The devil always sits on the fence.

God is NEVER in the mixture.

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish. — Psalm 1:6 AFV

So then, because you are lukewarm, and are neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth. — Revelation 3:16 AFV

For you shall worship no other god; for the LORD, Whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God; — Exodus 34:14 AFV

Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and lawlessness have in common? And what fellowship does light have with darkness? …Therefore, come out from the midst of them and be separate,” says the Lord, “and touch not the unclean, and I will receive you; And I shall be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty. — 2 Corinthians 6:14,17-18 AFV

You were running well. Who hindered you, persuading you not to obey the truth? This persuasion is not coming from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. — Galatians 5:7-9 AFV

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. — Hosea 4:6 AFV

• extra tidbit …. Why oil and water don’t mix? Oil essentially “repels” the water, it is called hydrophobic or “water fearing,” as opposed to hydrophilic or “water loving.” As such, eventually all the lipophilic or “fat loving” oil molecules will join together floating on top of the water.

There is no other miracle water source apart from the Living Water, Jesus Christ. He ALONE is enough to quench our thirst!

But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; rather, the water that I will give him shall become a fountain of water within him, springing up into everlasting life.” — John 4:14 AFV

Now in the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. The one who believes in Me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” — John 7:37-38 AFV

A Love Story

restoredpeople Leave a comment

“I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine”
‭‭Song of Solomon‬ ‭6:3‬

The Song of Solomon

A love story.
A story about passion.
A story about love at first sight.

A young Shulamite woman worked in the vineyards of Solomon, and then one day He set eyes upon her. It was love at first sight. It was passion, commitment, and adoration.

This is the story of Solomon and the Shulamite Women.
This is also the story of Jesus and Israel.
This is also the story of Jesus and the church.
This is also the story of Jesus and you.
This is also the story of Jesus and me.

This is a deep, beautiful, intricate, detailed, love story. Just like a diamond – it has many facets and many sides.

“You have dove’s eyes” – and then further on it says, “You have ravished my heart with one look of your eyes” (Sol.4:9).

Think about that for a moment.

Jesus is overwhelmed with emotion by a believer who gazes upon Him. Just one look in His direction fills Him with emotion!

Intimacy.
True intimacy.

The purpose of both creation and redemption is that we might have a deep, beautiful, intimate relationship with our Messiah. Our King. Our Lord.

That is the purpose of my life, and then everything else flows from that place.

Last night in prayer I had an encounter Him.
He reminded me that he wants to be face to face.
Heart to heart.
Breath to breath.

He’s not far off.
He’s not a lover in a distant land.
I don’t need to pine away as if He’s on the other side of eternity.
He’s right here.
He’s right now.

He’s tangible.
He calls me higher.
He wants me seated with Him now, not later.

One of the things the King says to His beloved is, ‘You have dove’s eyes’ (Sol.1:15).

“Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes.”
‭‭Song of Solomon‬ ‭1:15‬
‭
“His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.”

Doves Eyes.

Why doves eyes?

A doves eyes are sharp and piercing. They’re laser focused. But the most interesting of all – they have no peripheral vision. Their focus is on one object. Dove’s eyes have fixed field focus; they can only focus on one thing at a time. Once they find a mate, a love, their eyes are solely fixed on him. Once a dove sees something that captures its attention its eyes are trained on that object. It is undistracted from its focal point.

Laser vision.
Fixed on him.

This love story isn’t one way.
This love story is reciprocal.

Jesus love is laser focused on us.
We are to be laser focused on Him.

His focus is not on our surroundings or circumstances.
His focus is on you.

You.

His focus is on who He called you to be.
On who He said that you are.
His focus is on His beloved.

You are His beloved.

He doesn’t sway.
He doesn’t change His mind.
He love isnt fractured or conditional.

He loves you.
He loves you passionately.
He wants to care and comfort you.
He wants to heal and provide for you.

He loves you so much, that He died to retrieve you.

Read
That
Again

Therefore, shouldn’t our eyes be that of a dove towards him? I will not look to the right, or to the left. My eyes are fixed on Him.

No matter what goes on in this world around us, we stay focused on HIM.

To be so fixed on Him, that nothing around me matters.

Not politics
Not finances
Not food shortages
Not gas prices
Not health concerns

None of it.

He has me.
He adores me.
He calls me His beloved.
He abides.
I remain.
His eyes are fixed on me.
My eyes are fixed on Him.

I am my beloved, and my beloved is mine.

Embolden Us

God-of-the-Angel-Armies: how great thou art, you alone know the depths of every heart.

Lord, you know the struggle is real, but you are greater than what we face or feel. Embolden us to behold what you reveal and fill us with holy zeal.

Open our eyes to see that all the work we do is sacred worship unto you.
