God is doing a major work on old paradigms and they die hard in all of us. The struggles the last few weeks have been monumental and heavy, heavy, heavy.<br />After death comes resurrection- <br /><br />"Aaron knew well that it was God who made his rod sprout...Aaron knew that all ministry was based on sprouting, not on himself. Today as we minister before God we too ought to know that ministry comes from resurrection and resurrection comes from God.<br />Resurrection means that which is not of the natural, not of self or self-capability...I can paint and carve flowers on a rod, but I cannot make it sprout.<br />Resurrection is that which I cannot, but which God can; what I am not, but what God is. It matters not what I am, for it is based on God. It does not depend on greater cleverness or better eloquence.

Regeneration <i>BECAUSE</i> of a Lack of Healing...very deep...thank you for sharing it!<br /><br />Izumi...thank you for the laughter...again<br /><br />Incredible night...still absorbing...don't have to look very hard to see my inner Pharisee either...I do have to watch myself to make sure I don't begin to hate him/her...he is part of me and I have to reign him in, correct him, control him, keep him silent...I must make him repent and become included and inclusive...in short, I must OVERCOME him...<br /><br />Thank you, Lord, for your admonition to "Be of good cheer for I have OVERCOME the WORLD!" I was IN YOU when You overcame and I am to overcome my inner Pharisee just as You overcame him/them.<br /><br />No disrespect intended here...please don't anyone be offended...I apologize in advance if it happens...<br /><br />I'm now considering the things Jesus said to the Pharisees more closely...we all know He was quite vehement with them at times calling them snakes, painted graves, open pits...etc. I'm wondering if, perhaps, His statements were not only directed toward the actual Pharisees...but toward the possibility of His own "inner Pharisee." <br /><br />I know, I know...but what if? He was human as well as divine...He was "tempted in ALL points"...wouldn't that be a point in which we would be tempted? Wouldn't we, if we truly knew who we are as He did during His ministry, at some point think that it would benefit us to become a friend of the Pharisees instead of tweaking their noses all the time? Would it not have been easier to tell ourselves that we would "work from the inside" and enjoy the benefits the Pharisees could provide? The religious rulers were politicos...if He had offered to join them they would have done exactly what a politician would do today...the same thing Obama did with Hillary...accept them in to the fold and use their charisma and talents for their own purposes.<br /><br />It does make sense...He had to separate from the crowds who wanted to make Him king of Israel to avoid the temptation...perhaps He had the most difficulty with a religious spirit in the wilderness...isn't it a possiblity? I'm just sayin...<br /><br />Ok...you can fuss at me later...just think about the possibility...<br /><br />(This comment does not reflect the views or opinions of the Blogmaster, Bloginthenow, or anyone else...the views stated here are solely the opinion of the writer...that'd be me...and I AM...MYSTIC)PattiL007https://www.blogger.com/profile/02708593552345736510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-10885624162590303632009-07-09T13:10:30.042-04:002009-07-09T13:10:30.042-04:00Last week, I was convinced God hated me: strep th...Last week, I was convinced God hated me: strep throat, sunburn and hot flashes, all at the same time.Izumi/JOYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-91999065978455852052009-07-09T12:36:52.595-04:002009-07-09T12:36:52.595-04:00My dad used to call me, "Spock", because...My dad used to call me, "Spock", because of the shape of one of my ears.Izumi/JOYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-52335851840755006252009-07-09T12:16:52.989-04:002009-07-09T12:16:52.989-04:00Once, I slept through a severe thunderstorm, and o...Once, I slept through a severe thunderstorm, and only awoke when I heard my 2 year nephew crying in another room.Izumi/JOYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-48913925815973230182009-07-09T12:04:06.817-04:002009-07-09T12:04:06.817-04:00Once, I answered the phone using my prayer languag...Once, I answered the phone using my prayer language, just to get the telemarketer to stop calling.<br /><br />(OK... maybe more than once.)Izumi/JOYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-59335341084637683822009-07-09T11:57:31.896-04:002009-07-09T11:57:31.896-04:00I have no tattoos, have never burped the alphabet,...I have no tattoos, have never burped the alphabet, and don't karaoke. <br /><br />I put most of my candy bars in the freezer - they just taste better that way.<br /><br />Once, I had a major crush on Johnny Bench.Izumi/JOYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-33657616717276148852009-07-09T11:51:45.286-04:002009-07-09T11:51:45.286-04:00If we were friends, I can promise with full assura...If we were friends, I can promise with full assurance: I'd never eat your cilantro or pets.Izzumi/JOYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-64802516519904160582009-07-09T09:28:21.560-04:002009-07-09T09:28:21.560-04:00Good morning (again) beloved Universe!

Love how each one makes me think expansive thoughts.<br /><br />Anon@7:25, I really get that about God. (wanting to put Him in a box, but He won't have it) <br /><br />Your words (and these other posts) encourages me to share this:<br /><br />I don't want to be only called that cute, little friend with the Epicanthic fold.<br /><br />God says, "I AM."<br /><br />I don't want to always cover my diastema smile - complete a popular shy/awkward/geeky stereotype.<br /><br />God says, "Then, don't."<br /><br />I don't know much about mathematics, and use the dictionary, a lot. Not because I think I'm better than others. Just trying to make myself understood. Because, I think maybe you'll only look at my eyes and not hear my words.<br /><br />God says, "Go on."<br /><br />I don't carry a camera, and am the only one in my whole family who can't use chopsticks. <br /><br />God asks, "How about tongs?"<br /><br />I hate the annoying cowlick in the back of my head. It makes me look like I just woke up.<br /><br />God says, "Oh good. You slept."<br /><br />I don't want my scars to show. The ones from accidents, surgeries and self-inflicted ones. The ones when I cut myself just to feel I was alive.<br /><br />God says, "I AM."<br /><br />I don't want to think sentimentally, superfluous stuff, one moment, snarly, snarky stuff another, silly, stupid stuff another, or sanitized, sterile stuff another.<br /><br />God says, "Sssh...then listen to Me."<br /><br />I don't want to compulsively form animal features out of flour tortillas when we're dining out.<br /><br />God says, "Creating's fun, huh."<br /><br />I don't want to be over- confident, insecure, too full or depleted.<br /><br />God nods, "Seasons."<br /><br />Sometimes, I might embarrass you; laugh before the punchline. Or, maybe not at all. You might have to explain the joke again - on my left side. My right ear doesn't always hear as much.<br /><br />God says, "That's OK. Make Me laugh."<br /><br />Some days, I can go for hours without any conversation, concerned I might say the wrong thing. Candor's tricky. One questionable exchange can wipe out years of unity. <br /><br />God says, "Let's work on that."Izumi/JOYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-80635482858282465142009-07-09T08:10:31.898-04:002009-07-09T08:10:31.898-04:00Thanks for that in time word for it was directly f...Thanks for that in time word for it was directly from the mouth of God. I know it was from God because my heart did burn as you spoke the words and I was able to see myself in the mirror of the words. As we struggle to get ours heads around the news the doctors handed down I now see things in a different light and know that we are only hearing in part, God has the last word in the matter. This was the best lifeskills message yet and as I look back over my notes I'm still basking in that word as it reads my book. The message forces you to look and say wow is that whats inside me and then it allows you to come before the healing powers of Him and be restored. <br /><br />I had a lot of time to meditate on Him and where my life is going while I was in the woods of Alabama. As I sat on the bank overlooking the lakes I thought about all those fish that were in the lake and why I only caught one. The reason was I didn't want to put in the time, I wanted them to just bite the moment I cast out but that didn't happen. I got frustrated and gave up, but my Dad had a string of them and said you judged too soon now you will only eat your one. As I look back on things that has been my pattern, judging too soon. Wow that opens up so many possibilities if I just don't get frustrated and judge too soon because what I've experienced in the past was but an installment of what is coming. My latter years will indeed be better.Brendanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-18014600688482748632009-07-09T07:25:07.423-04:002009-07-09T07:25:07.423-04:00One aspect of the "I am" is that in the ...One aspect of the "I am" is that in the Hebrew it has two implications: 1. It means that all that God is, the fullness of His being is implied but not delineated. It also means, "I will be," leaving the future open to His ongoing revelation of Himself in life and our need of Him. Moses, when He asked God His name, was trying to pin down all that He was to tell Israel, but God would not give it all at that point. It was to be an ongoing revelation. So I find in this the implication that we might want to put God in a box but He will not have it. He wants to be tied up to mankind "to be" all that we need to be complete.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-73049269232265628272009-07-09T06:51:23.085-04:002009-07-09T06:51:23.085-04:00Bishop,

Sometimes I like what I see but as the ripples or waves show I have room to grow (improve).One thing I learned at the ocean was learning to stand. I have a poem about it on my site www.theriverpoetry.blogspot.com<br />Today I was looking through my pics and found some that speak more than words can say. The Father has given us the power to use our five senses to understand who we are if we just take the time to stop and see, smell,touch, hear,& taste. The person we think we are keeps changing. Facebook has a quiz you can make up called how well do you know(insert name).<br />a few people who thought they knew me found that they don't know me as well as they thought. We are an ever changing people living in an ever changing world reaching for the truth to find the answer we all are searching for. I can't help but to bring up the picture of the man who is being stripped from the darkness to show the purity that lies inside. We are all made in His image purity but being raised in a world of religious spirits we not by knowing at times cover ourselves in it so as to seem to blend in. I find an image of sand instead of a mirror. digging through the sand after a lightning strike to find pure crystal glass. You have to dig through the dirt (sand) to find the true treasure just as you have to face your own dirt to find the true treasure God has called you to be.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16812236351145830234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-91127131189056654142009-07-09T00:53:00.348-04:002009-07-09T00:53:00.348-04:00He's a little bit country
