Better The Call
Sheep and asleep are two run-down terms for the 99... point nine, percent. Alarmed and alarming, signs, otherwise. God-like aspirations of the controlling class, the dreadful few, see the multitudes bowing. Like a stadium of Charismatics waving hands and bellowing a chorus.
May not seem to Joe Public but we're being worship led. Following the moves and voices through the media-conduit. Tuned in and turned on. Or off, depending on adherence or resistance. Eyes wide and closed to facts, a convenient two clicks, from most-all news stories.
Even no-T.V. types who "know better... keep off the net". Wise as this is to the hilt are still going along, unless, 'alarmed and...'
Jesus had a word for the cabal; The thief who, comes only to steal and kill and destroy. A word about leader-types, clambering over the fence. Avoiding Christ to hoodwink the people. Yet applicable in, the wolf attacks the flock and scatters. Us all and from each other and truth in action.
Not sure hear God's direction or revelation-wise, that much. Accept, this my lazy-bones doing but how can those, who like me aspire to do this, miss the thief?
Why would God have much to say -- so claim -- fail to mention the grand scam? Further, perpetuate a lie? Or suppose, tell ye nowadays claim-prophet, that the scammers aren't the cause of many woes, it's judgement. It's God 'letting' the killers etc. get through and this our doing because of national sin. When all the while a fake-arama -or- wolves in other-wolves clothing. Aka rogue elements of Govt. etc.
Am nagging into the air again. What y'get for listening to men say 9/11 was God using Osama and crowd. Or, this and that since. The 'lone gunman'. And floods and fires. And on and on...
Back to sheep and shepherd. The enemy way is to overwhelm with voices. A cacophony of compliance. With limited hang-out arguments. All the while, in the corner of the net, are the real watch-people. Ones alerting about the puppeteers.
This my too usual bash on. To move on:
Better the call than anything else. Christian, open and awake, and -- here's the hard bit -- doing the work of God. Which involves getting off this machine. For now... must get something to say. Not say something, because can.
Big diff.
He guides me upon right paths. Not knowing, is as important as knowing. In being uncertain, through waiting on God or lacking conclusive evidence. Easy to suffer from. Misplaced overconfidence that minimises question.
Theology, where can, maps and reframes. But isn't the answer. We can have less than best theology but better than -- doing. Granted some theology determines motive and direction.
The problem is vision. In sight.
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so that you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so that you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so that you can see.
God sight.
The net has ushered the unfolding. Help break illusions and lies. Without the freedoms currently held, we'd be in info-dark. Yet, brought devastation. In five or so years, gone from promise to awaken, to mind-dulling demoralisation.
The wisest voices are calling for more get-off and get out there. Direct, non-internet based, action. Re; Political Protest.
For Christians, Jesus is knocking at the door, and we like the sound and investigations. Like the idea discovering, as though raiders of the lost ark. As though this, what matters.
The call is to come in and sup with God. Eat the word, eat bread and wine in ritual. Eat in silence. Not keep-on talking 'about' but do-what.
God's answer is not right-theology over and above right communion. Get alone. The unseen wants our continual exposure and their evil ways. Enough and not too far. OR... singing hearty songs and the do-what worship. While pretending (told/taught) that God isn't up for signs of times. Or ones, that jus' ain't.
Tons upon... of redundant claim-prophecy and world-watching. Putting charismatic leaders/congregations off. Make it a rule not to mention and encourage. Keep it to the generic and -- with respect -- banal, 'revival around the corner'.
Ne'er -- seems to me -- the two meet. Discernment with salt and incisive info -and- passion in devotion. At least expressing this combo online. Ok, glimpses here and there but not oft.
And why this/me/typing?
Public transparency. Yup, not hearing God so much to prophesy but self-monitoringthis to rectify. Intent to be an overcomer. Confession. And declaration:
God you are pleased we try to please/be an overcomer in you/but for distracting off/hunger to be alone with you/the answer you promised/if we ask/according to/and keep on asking/in searching expression/in your word/this light of life/caged through stimulating substitutes/you promise to deliver us/from all evil/make us the liberating children of the promises/we have no needs but you/and your taking these earthen vessels and smashing the enemy prisons with/your word is light and life
