FACADES

Take into account the imbalances of plenty and lack in your world.

The places where there are walls.

These imbalances are indicators of where there is un-forgiveness.

A kingdom that has limited dimensions is limited by its imbalances.

The imbalances are its borders.

A multi dimensional kingdom sees no borders.

If it seems impossible to reach the hungry ask yourself why?

Should you give up trying – should you become bitter and discouraged?

An unforgiving heart would see the barrier and then the barrier would become solidified by the bitterness.

The only way to see the walls fall is through love.

Change is a constant in the Kingdom of God.

Change happens by going into the places with barriers and loosening them.

Some people are comfortable - encouraging the walls.

But with God all things are possible - even reaching the hardest heart.

The faith of God sees no walls – it only sees need fulfilled.

Perhaps there is evil because there is lack? And perhaps there is lack because you do not ask for the things that would remove the walls – the things that would meet the needs of others?

This is not about being limited by poverty or wealth. This is not about being limited by world Governments. The Governments of the world will always create barriers.

This is about meeting the needs of the least first so that the barriers will have no strength. Isn’t it the rich who drag you into court?

The barriers are in place because you feel the need to keep others at a safe distance, thus you condone the walls your world governments have in place.

If you realize that there is no difference between the rich and the poor your Governments will have no strength to enforce this separation.

Are you not the Government?

Then govern your hearts rightly, and then you will see

the other

on the other side

of the wall.

it is interesting

that while talking and praying with some who were encountering difficult local circumstances

the lord spoke the word ... demos

... and i saw him in a chair a type of small throne seat and he was just about to get up from it ... but was waiting for some assent to it happening ... almost as if He wanted US to sit in the chair

and i sense more and more recently

that some, if not many circumstances ... which are hemmed in and bordered so to speak ...stuck,  are able to be overcome if one applies the seat of ones throne and power in christ

for demos ... was a word ... that related to a COLLECTIVE decision of Greek villagers ... who were an unit and applied to THEIR locale... they ... they were the authority in that place.

in the same way ... there are  situations pertaining to many individually, but have a wider collective affect on the group locally and i sense that many such borders and boundaries are there to be obliterated in faith and by love.

i am reminded ... of a picture i was given ... and this picture was FRAMED in a WOODEN frame ... the picture, within the frame, represented the individual characteristic pertaining to a particular individual ... but that the whole of it, the success of it, that which was WITHIN the frame, boundary - was FRAMED by the wood of the cross

in the same way ... as christ has framed our every situation, by framing our lives in HIS boundary ... the wood of the cross ... then there is no situation that has NO boundary to its influence ... perhaps he is waiting for us to accept his  offer of the authority of his seat, that he asks us to occupy here ... so he can affect for us and others, the solution to some, if not many ills - to bring his frame, his cross, His edging in, His security and total cover and fullfillment of the content of the picture that lies within the frame ... the lives and needs of many.

the kingdom of god has no centre,no circumference, no boundary and is without limit or fence.

David yes exactly - it has to do with our position, our position has to do with His seat. Our influence has to do with how esteemed we know we are. He does not rule by force but by an assurance - if we are not esteemed - ruled by a deep assurance we have strife within our"borders" - we have to rule by force.

Assurance is a strong position - it is without cohersion

is is a completed work of grace ...
