He moves me

ever read something you wrote less than an hour ago, and it moves you to your core? like, how did this come through my hands into text? wow.

here's mine:

i hear people all over saying, God do Your Miracles!!!!!!! and i cannot even go there becuase personally for me, when i try to say that, i'm chastised in my spirit and all i can do is lay stricken before Him and submit to Him, and cry out forgive me Lord!

i cannot deny the miraculous hand of God at work. i see it everywhere.

what i don't see, is a lack of the miraculous.

God speaking into the heart of a lost and depraved soul and causing their blind eyes to see is a true supernatural miracle. no spit required. God shining His light into the darkness and deception of a saul of tarsus and turning them into a paul who spends - pours out, lays down - their life for Him... that is signs and wonders. that's turning an ass into a majestic stallion fit for the King's bit. that beats a talking donkey any day.

the spiritual reality beats out the temporal shadow every time. it don't see it as settling for less, not at all. it's God's very best.

Outcast, Adopted.

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
