Sometimes Wonder and Awe Slip Away

I wonder why....

I wonder why our prayers slip out of devotion and into robotic servitude? 

Why do Wonder and Awe come and go like waves and winds? 

Why, am I tuned into the wonder and awe of Christ one moment, 

and totally dull the next?

I wonder about the visitations, dreams and prophetic words 

that pierced my heart with awe and sparked intense encounter with God?

What do they mean? 

How do I steward them and understand them best? 

I wonder about the Christian life and how our passions fade, commitments wain, and love grows cold when we've tasted and seen so much of the love of Jesus? 

I wonder about times and seasons and the incredible waves that overwhelm with the awe of Jesus, seeing him in worship and prayer, rejoicing with the Saints in his presence and then watching people fall off, fall away, and wander into passionless devotion-less lives.  

I don't know about you, but I don't think 

this is what we were made for. 

Entering and abiding in the fullness of Jesus Christ - looks like more to me.  

Ephesians 3:20-21 

Exceedingly abundantly more - highest heights, mystery revealed, Christ in me, Spirit power manifest, overcoming the world, joy unspeakable.  

which means we are asking, seeking, knocking beyond our present sight, our present understanding of reality, hope, and love.....

And God in his awesome love and kindness  

does exceedingly more than that.  

The Revelation of The Book of Revelation - Perspective - Hope - Vision. 

Jesus rules and reigns as High Priest of heaven's temple - right now. 

Through excising faith we are called up and in, to join the crowd of witnesses in living testimony.

To live as living sacrifices,
smoking up the place with offerings and worship and tangible victory on the earth.

To bear witness to the NAME of Jesus
in the spirit of prophecy and
to bring with us the revelation of his grace
walking in the power of the Spirit by faith.

To live in agreement with
Angels
Cherubim
Seraphim

The 24 Elders,

Apostles,
Prophets,
Saints of every age from every Age
who see him face to face and gaze upon the fullness of the Son of God in glory.

This same Son we see in Revelation 1.  Colossians 1:15f...

I wonder at the lack of wonder. 

The enduring ability of humanity to completely miss the revelation of Jesus and his Kingdom. 

I walk in that lack myself.  

I repent when I do.  

I see him again and I can only repent and ask for his grace to sustain me and draw me deeper into his life, his ways and his love.  

I wonder at the "otherness" of our life in Jesus. 

Yet, I also wonder at the invitation and the "yes" of Jesus.  He welcomes any person who would receive him.  

Any person. 

Any condition. 

We have a ministry to the Most High

This is really where it all begins.  Honoring the Trinity God.  Agreeing with his ways, salvation, love, hope and Spirit in the world. Agreeing heart, mind, soul, strength in real time and with honest whole life connection.

First love is the Fireplace,

His House of Discovery of Old and New Treasures

             "All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in him."  Col 2:3

Abiding in our inheritance in Jesus - always with him the goal

Gazing on the beauty of the Lord - is sheer joy

Waiting on his Voice - when he speaks our bodies shudder

Living as living sacrifices - each day putting up smokey rhythms of love and truth

Holy and pleasing - is how he makes us in his sight 

Friends with God - we know his business and carry it out 

Empowered by Grace through faith - we walk on water with the Spirit

In the Victory,

the Boundless, Abundant, Victory of Jesus Christ,

And in the measure of his victory

sown into each of us, grace, the overcoming power in us through faith,

so that we can walk by faith, shinning into the earth in Wonder and Awe.

Much love in Jesus.  
Brother Jeff

Get these two foundations in prayer!  

How's your 24?  
How's your prayer walk?  
Sowing into prayer is the greatest avenue for consistent joy in Jesus than any other thing out there.   

Take a new step into the depths and riches of knowing Jesus.  Pray. 

Start today.  5 mins listening to or reading the Scripture and Psalm 27:14 wait for the Lord. 
Grab some time and steal away with Jesus.  
He is remarkable to be around.  
You will tap into the grace of God.
The Father sent Jesus to restore us to him and he is longing to know us in Christ.  (John 17:3)

Running the RACE Faithful - 3 Ways of Endurance

The Mechanics of Endurance 

   

While the sun slipped closer to the horizon, we pulled up in the parking lot of Mt. Hood.  The sundown colors just started glistering off the snow.  Arriving in a rush, we pulled out our gear and prepared to finish off the day with a run from the Mt. Hood Lodge down to Government Camp....on cross country skis.  

My guide, a good friend with a crazy idea and assurances that he'd done it before, assured me that the runs are groomed all the way and that we would double-check the conditions before we committed, I followed. (Committed meant our wives would leave us and drive to Government Camp, hand out and wait for our arrival) We skied over to the trailhead and the snow was nice, the trail was groomed and everything looked good.   

Waving to our wives, they jumped in the car and disappeared. I heard and felt the terminal reality of the doors closing, the night arriving, the car pulling away and the only way down in front of us.  

However crazy or stupid this journey sounds, it started off fun and steeped in adventure.  Gliding down the trail, the snow crisp and crusty, our skis tracked along in ruts of a groomed trail.  Cross country skiing is exercise.  It requires a steady focus and attention to detail in your skies and body.  After a full day of tracking down by the lake, this glide to the Camp sounded perfect, but in reality, required some effort.  

As we pulled away from the ski area slopes and came to the tree line, the crusty snow began giving way to six to eight inches of powder.  Our skies started pushed through the crust and crashing down into the powder.  The energy required to maintain balance and ski in the changing snow dialed up the anti and intensity.  Then the groomed tracks vanished.  

Pulling up, we stood looking at the way before us. We found ourselves standing far enough down the mountain we could not see the lodge or any real ski runs. And so far up the mountain from our destination, we wondered about going on.  Time and dusk were quickly crashing down on us, and we stood facing a narrow corridor which appeared to be a road heading into the trees.  


From here on......
It was all endurance. 

Physical endurance is key in any kind of outdoor adventure, sport or competition.  As the energy wains and the trail becomes more and more challenging, our ability to endure and overcome sets the pace, and ultimately the outcome.  Typically we know the course we are heading out on and we train for it.  Creating the situation in practice so that we will have the endurance and stamina to succeed in the race.  

Most people rarely come to a point at which their physical endurance is severely tested. My son just ran his first marathon this past summer.  His endurance, mental clarity, physical capacities, and commitment to his goal of finishing, bombarded by the course and the 26.5 miles, his heavy legs, and body.  

Our physical breaking points are usually kept well at bay.  I know deep down increasing endurance means pain, effort, energy and focus. 

But, God doesn't seem to care about our perceived endurance levels or the boarders we place on ourselves.  Boarders we place to keep us from finding out what the limits really are.  He intimately knows our endurance level.  And in his goodness, he leads us to places where we can shine in faith, hope, and love. 











Now transition to spiritual realities. 

As a baseline, we are sons and daughters who are loved by the truest love of all.  A love that is so enveloping and efficacious, the Spirit can work into the fabric our very beings the image of the Son of God.  We dwell in the promises from the Father, paid for and finished in the Son, and empowered in the Holy Spirit.  Our baseline for spiritual endurance is Trinity's total and intimate knowledge of each of us. Before we say a word he knows it intimately.  It is in this knowledge that the Father leads us.  And it is with endurance and perseverance that we often find ourselves walking in the Spirit. 

Endurance is a necessity for any physical competition. Endurance is an urgency for all spiritual pursuits.

So here three vital ways of endurance.  Ways that remain vital in the struggle and will consistently require endurance from us.   

1. Enduring in Prayer against a challenging opponent.   
Rarely do we apply endurance to prayer.  Instead, we just quit.  Prayer is easy to quit.  There appear to be no immediate consequences and most people rarely discuss their pursuit or discoveries of prayer.  We are usually in our closet and no one really knows what we are giving to it or not.  

We quit for practical reasons.  There is no answer coming.  We apply math to prayer and oddly begin thinking it's like going to a job.  We put in the prayer, we get paid with answers.  We say the words and it just happens.  When we don't see answers in our timeline or as prescribed, we simply let go of the project.  

  The manifold wisdom, in all the mystery of his workings in all the Saints of God, is shining on the principalities and powers and enemies of Christ and daily reminding them they are finished.  A job approach to prayer, described above, sounds like having crackers for lunch and calling it lobster.   Prayer is powerful.  Prevailing prayer is effective.  It is the most powerful means at our disposal of ruling and reigning with Christ (2 Tim   ).    Some Saints find themselves in situations of ministry and co-laboring with Jesus that have no hope for a good outcome without endurance in prayer.   





2. Enduring in love against huge disappointment 
In this world, you will have trouble, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. (Jesus)
God is love. For God so loved he sent his Son.  And we are called to love as the high mark of our witness to the world and the fabric of our communities in the Father.  
To love like Jesus, in the face of the worst the world puts forth, requires endurance.  

It is essential that the Saints endure in love in the constant and regular failures of the Christian community and the common expressions of Church we all experience. If you plan to endure in love, you become a mark for some of the most strident hits on your endurance.  

Are going to take a few hits and quit?  Love never fails, at least the kind Jesus revealed.  But ours does, at least the version we put forth as love.   When you are having trouble finding an ounce of love to give, that's when enduring in love kicks in.  Loving anyway.  Believing the best.  Hoping against, "all is lost".   Often the most gritty and raw endurance is required to bring forth the love that honors Jesus and his NAME.  Like him, we will find ample opportunity to lay down our lives.  That's not the problem.  The real problem arrives when we need to alter the course of our lives, our day, our week for love.  This is when endurance in love starts moving.   It deepens when we run up against ingratitude, entitlement attitudes and the raw and uncomfortable feeling of being used.  This is when enduring in love is vital and active, filled with faith and hope for a different outcome.  

The kind of love Jesus demonstrated carried with it a powerful endurance in hope and faith.  We can expect nothing less for ourselves if we choose to follow him.  

3. Enduring in the Word against the Fulfillment of promise 
Often patience is linked with endurance.  

Revelation 1:9   
"I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus.....  

Patient endurance, the mark of Jesus on the apostle John, is ours also.  We are his companions in patient endurance.  This is how John describes the characteristics of his life following Jesus.  This is the environment of taking God wholly and in the truth of his Word and his promise. 

 When the Word of God speaks directly to the way ahead of us, we can be assured patient endurance will be involved in seeing the promise fulfilled.  

Often this is a point of departure.  As we become more hard-pressed, as the temperature rises and we feel the squeeze of the storms and trials, endurance is tested to the limit.  We feel we cannot go on.  That the pressure is too intense, the pain too deep.  We are tempted to believe we will never see the promises of the Lord fulfilled.  It is at this point the Word itself inspires us to go on further, deeper and farther in love.   

Who tests the limits or boundaries of their endurance on their own?  Rarely anyone.  High-level athletes regularly hit their peak endurance.  Ultimate victory will always require an increase in endurances depth and width.  Our opponent is doing the same.  

I've met very few Christians who press hard enough after the Lord to run into the peak of their endurance.  Yet God consistently will lead us to a place where he is everything for us and everything else looks to be passing away. 

God calls us into a life that is super/natural.  It cannot be done without Christ (John 15:5).  
The upward high calling finds inspiration in the beautiful life of Jesus and we find that life deeply and richly through a partnership with patient endurance.  The Word speaks the high calling.  The Word of God witnesses to the pleasure of pleasing God.   

Nothing of eternal value is accomplished outside of the will of the Father, in and through Christ Jesus.  

Recently this verse has impacted my understanding of patient endurance. 

Trust in the Lord, and do good;
    dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness   Psalm 37:3

Dwelling in the land - with all its difficulties and troubles  - requires perseverance and endurance.  Dwelling where God has called us and filling that place up with the knowledge of the Lord requires endurance and patient in hope that will bring you to a point where endurance is required.    
Befriending faithfulness may be another way of saying endure in the Word and promise of God with resolute faith and patient hope.  

Through Christ and patient endurance, we will find the ever-increasing grace and glory we need to be partakers of the kingdom of God as it unfolds daily in our lives.

Bali Photo / Reflection Journal - 2018

The Earth is the Lord's and everything in it. 

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,

the world, and all who live in it;

for he founded it on the seas

and established it on the waters.

Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?

Who may stand in his holy place?

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,

who does not trust in an idol

or swear by a false god. 
Psalm 24 

As we search and seek spiritual life and hope, 

 for something,

anything, 

 that transcends 

the industrial realities of our modern western world 

can hurry us on,

push us,

drive us to missing 

 so many wonders. 

Why did God go to so much detail in the beauty of creation? 

He did it everywhere on the planet. 

and 

especially in Bali

Slow down to Bali pace, 

open wide 

the eyes of your heart, 

and a

 remarkable people, 

will spill in. 

Possibly some wonder 

and the

most delicate beauty

will call out to you. 

Do you see the 

the order 

of the Balinese?  

The Art. 

The inspiration 

 

If stone could speak.... 

Our deep hopes might find some levity,

some lift, 

maybe a voice, 

some redemption? 

Good and evil wrestle in stone all over Bali. 

Water, 
Welling up from the ground 

The Water Temple 

Cleanse, free, bring separation from the 
fallen hopes, broken pieces of our lives. 

Pour some merit over us?

Calling out and rising up from basic elements of the earth. 
Water,
does it carry transcendence?  

The art, the history, the story told as powerful beauty 
is the same water that wells up in my mountains.  
The same water the Psalm says belongs to the LORD. 
The same water cycling through the earth 
to become our drinking water miles away. 

Transcendence in stone?
In Water?

The beauty and craft of the human spirit 

pours over you in Bali.  

And the fiery 

fearful 

powers behind so much human 

suffering, 
poverty,
and economic disparity demand an audience. 

They are shadows.

Hints and offerings again and again, 

proving their inability to heal us. 

Christ, the one time offering, 

by blood and righteousness, 

cleanses the world of sin and 

destroys the separation. 

So we pray. Seek. Cry out to the Father for Bali.

While we move in and walk through her many wonders.  

Bali invites us deeper with a sense of mystery. 
Into doors whispering of something beyond. 

I've found amazing divine appointments behind so many of them.  
Yet, they do lead into the same kind of world as is painted all over Bali.  


The Father of Lights invites us into an eternal DOOR. 
In Christ, it is a never ending land of freedom and love.  

 

No more gates to bar the way to Christ's eternal presence.  

In Bali, it is deeper into a raw and earthly perspective, 
fear wells up like the water of the temple.  

There is an invitation to walk up the stairs and into a doorway between 
Good and evil. 

A story going on and on, 
like a giant tree growing in the world, a story we cannot change.  

This yearning cry for life
churning in cycles of 
offering and
ritual holds a fragile world together.  Hoping to appease, hold off something worse. 

The invitation -- come into this world of in between. 

Daily offerings to keeping the peace.

Who is in between?  

We are.  

In truth, 
Jesus walked right up these steps.
Right into this world painted so beautifully...

And he satisfied the offering table.  
He started growing a new tree.  And he overcame the evil of this world, and the grip of this world reflecting its vision in the picture above.  

So, I see Christ Jesus fulfilling, re-ordering, everything in this picture.  
Honoring and keeping human beauty and completely destroying the fear.  

He is the offering.  Once for all.  

2019 - is Open Doors - Restored Paths - New Fiery heart

Transfiguration! 

Look forward, eyes filled with Abundance, Boundless, Victorious vision in Jesus.  

  

How's your 24?  
How's your prayer walk?  
Sowing into prayer is the greatest avenue for consistent joy in Jesus than any other thing out there.   

Take a new step into the depths and riches of knowing Jesus.  Pray. 

Start today.  5 mins listening to or reading the Scripture and Psalm 27:14 wait for the Lord.
Grab some time and steal away with Jesus.
He is remarkable to be around.
You will tap into the grace of God.
The Father sent Jesus to restore us to him and he is longing to know us in Christ.  (John 17:3)
