Life is a journey from a mysterious beginning, through shadowed present, and to an unknown future in this world. Everyone has a journey. Everyone has a past, present and future.
There are almost eight billion people on the planet that are traveling somewhere on the path and journey of life, creating their own stories. Many having children who will create another endless supply of stories and paths. There are billions more that have passed on whose stories now live on in their descendants.
I say all that to say, each human being on the planet has been born into Life, the never ending story of mankind. From the child in poverty who dies of starvation with almost nobody noticing but his mother, to a homeless person panhandling, to a world leader, famous celebrity or wealthy businessman, all have been given a story in this mysterious thing called Life.
No wonder it is so easy for us to feel like our story isn't that important. No wonder it is so hard for us as humans to navigate this life with a sense of purpose and vision. No wonder it is difficult for us to find a common purpose outside of nationalism, ethnicity, family, or in some cultures just common survival.
Is mankind really stuck on a planet with no common purpose, no common love and no common beginning and future? It would seem so. It would seem that the human race is cursed to just exist with a haunting sense that we are born only to start a journey toward death. No matter how much we do good. No matter how rich or how poor we are, death and purposelessness is always trying to take Life from us.
BUT GOD!!!!!
I know it is hard to see this in the wicked , painful world we live in, but every person born on this planet has been born into a Common Life. We have all been born into a common purpose. We have all been born into a plan that was set in motion before the foundations of this planet were laid.
The Creator of all things actually created all things from a common source, with a common destination and a common ending. He is called the Alpha and Omega, because all things, including Life and Time itself, were created by Him, Through Him and for Him. He Himself holds all things together, from the foundations of creation to the Eternity, He alone holds all things together for a common purpose.
God created man in His very own image and His very own likeness and breathed His very own LIFE into him. Every human that has ever been born has that common point in the past. All humans have a common point in the future to come. All of mankind, past, present and future, will stand before The Great White Throne, together as one to be judged. So if we had a common point in the beginning and we have a common point in the ending, we must have a common purpose now.
If we had a common point in the beginning and we have a common point in the ending, we must have a common purpose now.
It takes faith to see this common purpose. It takes a miracle of the heart to be able to see and take an important part in this common purpose that mankind was created for. The Bible put it this way. Lest a man be born again he can not see The Kingdom of God.
Even creation itself , the animals, the trees, the birds of the air are all part of this mysterious Divine and Eternal purpose that was set in motion in ancient times. In Romans 8 we see that creation itself is groaning for the redemption of itself and the rejoining to The Life of God. In the same chapter we get a glimpse of how God is making sure those who have been born again, those who love Him and are called according to His Purposes, can be sure He is watching and making sure all things work together for their good. He has filled us with His own spirit. He joins with us and empowers us to pray into this earth His Perfect Will. He gave those who have been born again and redeemed a common language, a common spirit, to effectively serve a common purpose, working toward a Common Day.
I have chosen my words carefully in this post. It is not the way I usually write. However, my purpose was to paint a picture of where most of mankind finds itself. Unfortunately it is also where most of the very people God created to be One find themselves, lost to the lie that we are somehow separated from our brothers and sisters across the planet and across time. We are not. We are one. We serve one God, One Spirit and One Lord. We can connect in a very real, very powerful way with other members of The Kingdom of God in the world. We are no longer members of our nations, ethnicity or tribes. We are very real new creations. A new people that have been commissioned to bring in a harvest until The Common Day of Our Lord.
The Bible says The Earth is The Lords and the fullness thereof. He owns all things for He created all things. He fills all things, He gives all things Life.
Why were we born into this Life? Why was the rich man born into this life? Why was the starving child born into this Life. Why was the woman born into Islamic Extremism born into this Life? Why was the boy that would someday become a wicked dictator that kills millions of people born into this Life? Jesus came to redeem that woman, to move on the heart of that rich man to feed that starving child, and to put that would be evil dictator on the path to be a benevolent mighty ruler.
These are all part of the never ending stories and paths of fallen mankind. But this we know. Redemption has come in Christ for all men. Jesus came to undo the knots the devil has tied into the fabric of mankind's original paths. We as His Ambassadors now are commissioned to go and proclaim the good news to all creation. That The Kingdom of Heaven has come.
The Kingdom of Heaven has been spreading across the globe for over 2000 years. Like seed sown into the earth, The Lord has been setting in place , sowing seed, and even allowing the blood of the saints to be sown into the ground of all nations tongues and tribes. This seed in incorruptible. No matter if it was sown by the first Apostles or sown by the blood of the martyred saints that China's Chairman Mao executed, the Islamic Hoards killed or the seed of blood of the true saints that the false church murdered in the dark ages. These precious seeds of The Lords are incorruptible and they have, and will, produce a harvest for His Kingdom.
His Word has gone forth and shall produce what it was sent forth to produce. It will not return to Him void.
The Bible says that The Lord is waiting for the precious fruit of the earth before He returns and brings and end to this age. So we can say that all things, from ancient past to the end of this age are being formed together, are working together, for one Day , one Purpose and that is for The Great Day of Harvest. The day where The Wheat, Gods people and all that is from Him, and The Tares, those who follow the devil and all that kills, steals and destroys, will be separated. The wheat into The Barns of The Lord and The Tares into the fire to be burned and removed forever.
What were you created for? What is Gods intent for your life, your path and your story? What was His plan for you before you were born? Have you allowed Him to redeem you and your life, so that you can really find out what you were truly created for, and placed on this earth for, in this time, so that your story would interact with and be part of His Story? What wonders has He prepared for you , if you allow Him to place you in a common story, on a common path, with others all over the world and throughout time , past present and future?
The scripture says God alone knows the end from the beginning. He is the Alpha and Omega. The Beginning and The End. The First and The Last. Jesus was the lamb slain before the foundations of the world. We were called before the foundations of The World.
What am I trying to say to you in this? What do I want to encourage you with? What is it that I have in my heart for you the reader? What was the purpose of me writing this, as I travel my path and interact with your path in the Life we were born into?
It is this:
You are important to God. The Gospel to you is this: Jesus came to save that which was lost. He came to redeem and restore your Life and your story. He came to take you off the path of darkness that all mankind is born into, and place you on the path of Light. Redemption Through Jesus Christ is the very heart of Gods plan for you. Redemption of His Creation. Redemption of Time.
For those already born again through faith in Christ and washed by His Blood: He commissions you to be discipled and through His Word and Fellowship of the Saints in order to find His plan for you, His path for you, His Purpose for you. In that new journey of your new Life, He empowers you to lead others out of darkness and into His Light.
To those who are called to ministry and service to The Kingdom of God. Do not limit God. He has dominion over all space , time and substance. There is nothing He can not do. He is not limited by our understanding. He is not limited by time. He is almighty and everlasting. He has knit His Kingdom together in One Body, One Blood, One Spirit saved by One Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
There is a day dawning upon us that we will have to meet the false signs and wonders of darkness with the Glory of God and His Word. We will not be moved by whatever we see coming from the false ones, the reprobate ones, the apostate ones. Whatever false signs they show, we will cast down with His Word and spirit showing them to be utterly void of Light.
Even more incredible than that, as the darkness of these false ones spreads among the deceived: The Light of Christ and The Love of God will be revealed in ways that can not be matched or mimicked by the the devil and his puppets. The seeds of The Church and The Gospel that has been spread and sown throughout the world will sprout in a season at the end of all time, that will cause all of creation to worship The King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Every knee, ever to have been formed, throughout all creation and time, shall bow and every tongue that was ever created, throughout all ages, shall confess, Jesus Is LORD.
You can be a part of this great harvest. You can be a worker worthy of the call. You can join arms with believers throughout all time and all nations , to be a part of this Great Commission.
Some poems:
The Power Of The Christ!
The Eternal Attributes of His WORD!
Not bound by Time or Space
All Eternity! Before His Face!
All forces Seen & Unseen!
Bound to The Destiny of The Redeemed!
He Is Lord of All! Alone He Reigns!

Beneath His Feet! The Earth Quakes!
Before His Presences Demons Shakes!

At His Will, His Children Seize The Land!
The Battle, Behind The Curtain!
Has Raged, since The Ancient Creation!
But, Of The Christ, it was Foretold!
That, All Authority He Would Hold!
Satan's Head, He Crushed, His Power Disarmed!

To Enforce His Rule On Earth!
To Preach The New Birth!
To Demonstrate His Glory!
To Live in Kingdom Authority!

In The Worlds Darkest Hour.
In the worlds darkest hour
Will you call upon My Power?

Will you just sit with hands fold?
Or will you cry out to me?

To stand in a place of Prayer and Power!!
Oh PLEASE!! Don’t fall asleep on Me!!
For in a short time, I will close The Door
This Age of Grace, will be no more!
You must not fall asleep on Me!
If you, like I, had tasted Hell, and Death
You would cry out for the lost, with every breath!!
And would not allow yourself, to fall asleep on Me!
So rise up in My Strength and Authority!
Call upon My Mercy, Might and Sovereignty!
Great miracles and salvation's, you will see!!
If you will not fall asleep on Me!!!

Destiny!
There are specific times in Gods plan
Like The Exodus, The Birth of Christ and the Creation of Man
That The LORD God Almighty Reveals His Glory
Reveals that He stands, not in time, but in His very own eternity
The LORD reveals, that in His Word
He Has given Himself authority to rule as LORD
He is not bound by the whims of man
And against His council, no argument can stand
There is a time set apart in His Will
That every voice will be quieted, every accusing mouth stilled.
The Last Days ,The Latter Days, The Fulfillment of All Things
The Revealing of His sons and daughters, The Time Creation Will Sing
This time is labeled with many names
But it is really just The Time that The Church of Jesus Christ Begins to Rule and Reign
A great revealing of His Sovereignty and Might
Against all the enemies of God and Man He will wage The Righteous Fight
So get in your place , Oh warriors of The Lord
What is about to be revealed in you, will shake the world
He will use your tongue to smash the lies
To proclaim the Gospel, and to Save Lives
He will use your hands to heal the sick and help the poor
No eye has seen, nor ear heard, what He has in store
He will use your life to show His Grace and Power
To demonstrate His Love, Provision, and Truth in this, His finest Hour
Ask of The LORD expecting to receive
He is returning soon…ONLY BELIEVE!
DESTINY!
There are some voices that are about to go out!
That will raise in The Body a Victory Shout!
The forces of darkness are shaking in fear!
They know that The Final Harvest is here!
Jesus Our LORD, has risen The Banner of His Word
The Power of His Spirit is about shake the nations of this world…
Jehovah is preparing, by calling His elect into The Light
So they can join His Army, and Engage in The Fight
From the North and the South: The East and The West
The called out ones are coming into their rest!
The voice of The Shepard, The Message of His Blood and The Truth of His Cross
Gleaning the Kings Garden, separating the Silver from The Dross
His name being Exalted, above all that would offend
As The Almighty, All Powerful God…His children He will DEFEND!
This is a battle of His Making and Choice
A separated time for The Triumphant Church to Overcome and Rejoice!
GLORY..GLORY..GLORY….
TO THE LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY!
