"Perfect Actions"

His Voice Everywhere

 

 

You Fell!

Was the answer I received when I asked the Lord, "What happened to me?" It was written in a strange but clear way on an apartment building fourteen stories up.

 

This is My Father's World is the name of a hymn that tells how God speaks through everything in his beautiful natural creation. The key words to this song speak of God’s voice being heard in the following ways, “The music of the spheres, of rocks and trees, of skies and seas, the birds their carols raise, the morning light, the lily white he shines in all that's fair in the rustling grass I hear him pass” I have heard it said, if one desires to know beauty one must live with it.” So here in this dismal Korean city there is nothing that reflects "My Father's World", however God is not limited by these factors and as the above image shows, He speaks to me from even the strange name written on a Korean high rise apartment complex which very clearly answers my question as to how and why I’m living in the most humbling of accommodations I have ever experienced.

It was the very first day I was in this jungle of steal, concrete and glass that I raised my voice to God to ask why and as I glanced towards the heaven barely seen between towering high rise buildings I saw the usual misuse and lack of understanding of English that Koreans so blatantly post everywhere, however this strange English quickly became God’s immediate answer to my prayer request. Other teachers that I was with looked up, knowing my story of how I made and effort to keep a promise that was not what God wanted. They looked up and saw the huge “Ufell” sign posted in letters that were 40 feet long on the top of a neighboring high rise apartment building and immediately understood what God was telling me; they all burst out in laughter as they realized how blatant and unmistakable the sign spoke to me and everyone regarding what had happened to me. So yes, even here in this world that isn’t like the words described in the song, God told me, “You Fell” from My protection, grace and will.

However, as I enter the third week of my time in this reformatory for his wayward son, I am finding that the experiences isn’t making me dull to His mind and voice but rather my sensitivity to discerning the very fine shades of difference in the spirit is becoming sharper.

My time of morning quiet study where I listen for my Fathers voice I have discovered that the pain and struggles I am experiencing are caused by something different than I originally thought. This morning I read, "The Word of God inflicts hurt on us more than sin ever could, because sin dulls our senses." The pain I'm experiencing is not dulling my senses but rather making my sense of discernment clearer and uniquely sharper; an essential factor that must be finished if I'm to succeed and finish the work I have been

This process of sharpening is absolutely essential for my deliverance and restoration; I’m simply learning that how ever it happens is requiring moment to moment steps of faith.

I’m really not sure how long I will be able to add to this web page as the time of departure draws near and I must get everything ready; this naturally includes the storage of the computer I’m using to write these words. Today MUST be a day of final preparation as the few days left must be used to test out my travel package to be sure I can stay clean and rested as the travel path takes me through this huge, dark Asian city (some way that will be a miracle) to the airport where a flight is scheduled to take me to Hawaii and then on to my home in the arctic.
It may be easier to add to this page until I get home.

Meaning Was Conveyed Gracefully

 

Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.--MATT. vi. 25.

 

 

One there lives whose guardian eye
Guides our earthly destiny;
One there lives, who, Lord of all,
Keeps His children lest they fall;
Pass we, then, in love and praise,
Trusting Him through all our days,
Free from doubt and faithless sorrow,--
God provideth for the morrow.

R. HEBER.

 

 

It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when to-morrow's burden is added to the burden of to-day that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourselves so, my friends. If you find yourselves so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing, not God's. He begs you to leave the future to Him, and mind the present.

G. MACDONALD.

Cast thy burdens upon the Lord,--hand it over, heave it upon Him,--and He shall sustain thee; shall bear both, if thou trust Him with both, both thee and thy burden:. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

ROBERT LEIGHTON.

 

 

Peter’s response to this piercing question is considerably different from the bold defiance he exhibited only a few days before when he declared, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" ( Matthew 26:35 ; also see Matthew 26:33-34 ). Our natural individuality, or our natural self, boldly speaks out and declares its feelings. But the true love within our inner spiritual self can be discovered only by experiencing the hurt of this question of Jesus Christ. Peter loved Jesus in the way any natural man loves a good person. Yet that is nothing but emotional love. It may reach deeply into our natural self, but it never penetrates to the spirit of a person. True love never simply declares itself. Jesus said, "Whoever confesses Me before men [that is, confesses his love by everything he does, not merely by his words], him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God" ( Luke 12:8 ).


Unless we are experiencing the hurt of facing every deception about ourselves, we have hindered the work of the Word of God in our lives. The Word of God inflicts hurt on us more than sin ever could, because sin dulls our senses. But this question of the Lord intensifies our sensitivities to the point that this hurt produced by Jesus is the most exquisite pain conceivable. It hurts not only on the natural level, but also on the deeper spiritual level. "For the Word of God is living and powerful . . . , piercing even to the division of soul and spirit . . ."— to the point that no deception can remain ( Hebrews 4:12). When the Lord asks us this question, it is impossible to think and respond properly, because when the Lord speaks directly to us, the pain is too intense. It causes such a tremendous hurt that any part of our life which may be out of line with His will can feel the pain. There is never any mistaking the pain of the Lord’s Word by His children, but the moment that pain is felt is the very moment at which God reveals His truth
