"Beloved these are dangerous times cause you are weightless like a leaf from the vine. And the wind has blown you all over town cause there is nothing holding you to the ground. So now you would rather be a slave again than free from the law? Beloved listen to Me: don’t believe all that you see, and don’t you ever let anyone tell you that there’s anything that you need but Me. Beloved these are perilous days, when your culture is so set in it’s ways that you will listen to salesmen and thieves preaching other than the Truth you’ve received. Because they are telling lies for they cannot circumcise your hearts. Beloved listen to Me: don’t believe all that you see, and don’t you ever let anyone tell you that there’s anything that you need but Me. Beloved there is nothing more. No more blessings and no more rewards than the treasure of my body and blood given freely to all daughters and sons."

Now tell me that aint true. We are willing to take in anything that will captivate our senses and pretend to fulfill our desire for love. We're falling; falling away and into things that wreck our lives and cause the tension in our hearts. The True Source of you, your heart, your passion, and the spark for that desire of love is calling for you. Calling you to run from the false things of this reality that we can see and calling you to place your hope in Him, The Source. We live in a world that is only partially visible; we're only capable of perceiving a portion of it. Even though we can't "see" the other reality, we really can. In the beauty that goes unrecognized, in the unknown glamour of the wild, and in the untamed...we have been given a glimpse into that other realm. "Don't neglect to show hospitality, for by doing this some have welcomed angels as guests without knowing it." (Hebrews 13:2) You are entertaining angels it says in the Word. We must open our eyes as Elisha did...open our eyes to the Lord. Our eyes are so easily deceived and they betray our hearts everyday. BREAK THE MOLD OF FAILURE! Turn to Him FOR, more so than WITH, your desires and He will open your eyes; awaken your spirit. "Wake Up, O Sleeper, and rise up from the dead, and the Lord will shine on you!" (Ephesians 5:14). Let us pull back the shades covering our eyes and awake to The Hope set in your hearts. The false things of this world have no bondage over you if you have Christ. Open up your heart to Him...that's where you'll find yourself and truly find out WHO YOU ARE...
Wake from the ashes, pull off the debris, scatter the rubble, and let Him reveal the beauty that is waiting to be unveiled inside your heart.
