Why So Downcast?

"Why so downcast oh my soul, put your hope in God." ... A lyric i remember from my younger church going days. The days when i just went because i went; the days that i believed that the men in charge were all legitimate, the days when we were gonna save the world and all those lost souls going to hell ... I think the tooth fairy was still around then too.

The lyric does stands true, put you hope in God! The would be rulers have since fallen and at best are just regular men pretending to be something they are not. The need to evangilize the world ... Well, it needed to be put into perspective to the fact that "No one comes to the Father unless the Spirit draws him" and realizing that activities outside of that work of the Father are acts of human self will and something done apart from Him. Better to pray and ask that the Father would cross your path with someone that He is drawing unto Himself, rather than seeking to go out there and win the world to Jesus. The bulk of the people walking around don't want Him. They want a show, they want to be entertained, they want to be healed, success in business, someone to marry, healthy kids, a big home, friends, and answer to their inconvenient problems ... But not Jesus. No they don't want Jesus unless he is of use to them. And while they would use Jesus if they could, they don't love Him (the Real Jesus). They don't even like Him.

Why do I write stuff like this? Because i'm not one for the farce. When you see in Spirit it becomes painfully evident the hearts and motives of people ... And He knows! You think He doesn't know, you think He doesn't see? You think He is anything like fallen humanity? You think He can be stopped when He chooses to act? You think there is a ruler or a man of status and position that can buy his way out when the very breath he is borrowing is withdrawn? It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of a living God.

Father wants His people to be real and raw with Him. Open up your heart and let there be real communication (for some of you this will be the first time in your lives). Rend your hearts, not your garments. Skip the show and be real with Him!

It's time to move on. Let us be the ones to break it to you, there is no tooth fairy. What is real is becoming clear as eyes are being open and He is giving sight to the blind. Are you willing to wake up?

In Christ,
