I am stunned by the depth of our Lord. His magnificence knows no boundaries. No matter what is looked to, He can be found. Beyond the surface lies the unseen, where the Glorious King dwells. Behind the veil of the scene, our Most High Benificent reigns. Waiting for someone to part the curtain and enter through, He calls from beyond the cloth. Can you hear His Voice?
Resonating like a Trumpet blown over the clear waters of the North, it carries across the mountains, never finding a resting place. His Word is upheld by His Breath, for His Life is Word. He cannot exist but through self-expression, for He is the One Who Causes To Become.
I love my Savior. He has become to me, Salvation. He has transformed His appearance that I may behold His Countenance. Yet, what I see astounds me. I hide my eyes with my fleshly hands, but it does not change. The Light continues to pour through, unhindered by creation. For the Creator transcends, yes, it were as though the creation did not exist. He passes through unrestricted, because He is through all. Wherever He goes, there He is. His destination is His home. His arrival is His departure. Who can discern Him?
Yet I wish for none but this: to discern this Glorious Lion, this Captain of Beauty, Who has formed me with His own hands. His own creation, I look up to the heavens, hoping to behold that which has brought me into being. I am become His discerner, and my life is to study His person.
He has said,
"I am Lord of the Cracks! I am Lord of the Corners! I am Lord of all these things! Wherever you look, there I am!"
Yes, bringing torrents of tears through my eyes, this truth pierces my soul. The things which I hold dear He has an interest in. Even those small things which pass through my mind, noted by myself to be worthy of observation, He has deemed fit to appear through. No matter what I turn my eyes to, I behold the King of Glory.
Forever praised be the One Who Is! All glory and power be to the One Who sits upon the Throne of heaven! Praise the Lord Yah, Who is the Mighty One of all creation! Captain of the Hosts of heaven, His judgments are righteous!
Judge me, O Just One! O Righteous Sovereign, judge me with Your perfect measure! I long for your Word! Refine me with Your Word, that I may prove to be all that you created me to be!
As you read this site, you will hopefully come to know Yahweh more fully.
But all of this continuing knowledge is useless unless and until you come into union with Him. I use the word union because it is truly a marriage. It is that deep connection we all seek, for which we most often look in other people. However, the truth is that our hearts will only be fulfilled when we enter that union in fullness with the One Who made us.
This is the grace of God, that He has not stayed distant for us only to worship as Creator. But He has come unto us, even become one of us—in His Son, ChristJesus—in order to share an intimate union with us. He desires such closeness that it truly will envelope our entire life, transforming us into something new and wonderful.
You may have already entered this union with Him and only seek to know Him better through reading here. But if you have not, as you do read, let this Gospel sink into your heart as you read it now.
God loves you, and has cast your sins into the sea. He has sent His only Son as the Savior of the world—that includes you.
That Son, JesusChrist, was born as a man through a virgin who had given her life to Yahweh; He lived without sin, reflected the glory of His Father, God, in all His words and deeds, and was persecuted even unto death because of it.
His death upon a cross was the powerful explosion that separated you from your life of death. It remains for you, now, to enter into that death with Him. As you die to the one you are now, a person separated from God from your many sins, you will be born anew, with a nature predisposed to live rightly. This gift is free to you, with nothing you can do to earn it. It is the mercy of God to offer it to you, as He loves you so much! All you must do is receive it by trusting Him to have delivered you. Simply place your life in His hands and embrace the freedom that came through that death on the cross.
The Gospel is that Jesus did not remain dead, but rose again on the third day after His crucifixion! Death could not hold Him, as He was without sin. And so death will not be able to hold you, as you identify with Him fully through your trust in Him. Let go of yourself and confess Him as Lord of your life. The power of His death and resurrection will work in you all that your Creator has destined for you. You will truly enter a new life and experience that intimate union you have been seeking all of your life.
So ponder these words as you read here of this great God—Yahweh—and all that He has revealed to His creation. Let His Spirit testify to your heart that these words are true, that God is Love, and that He sent His Son so that you might receive the life that is unbound by time and space. As you feel that witness in your heart, simply believe and receive what He is offering to you, even now, and begin your new life as a child of God.
Please write to me and let me know when you take this step, as I will be your brother in Christ—we will be one in Him!
13This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. 14For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
