This is downright scary!
Sitting in Hammarskjold Park
Minding my own business
As I am wont to do (lol)
When I reached into my bag
To retrieve a container of coffee
No fewer than four
Count them … 4 !!!
Uniformed police officers
With finger on shotgun trigger
Four of them there are
Watching me …. just in case ….!
I wanna take a photo for you
But it might cost me
A night in jail :'(
(Could be fun….!)

Help your healing

HELP YOUR HEALING
Step away from the pain.
You CAN do so.
Head high, shoulders back.
Don’t LOOK for trouble
In your body.
Feel the perfection
Everywhere and rejoice!
Someone loves you
And wants you just as
He created you to be.
Now, don’t go back
To the former pain.
Go forever out, into the light.
… and BE the light for somebody else!

See me, see the Father. Those were his words. Okay, so:

Healing the son of his birth nation’s enemy;
Freeing the captive, death row adulterous woman and Sabbath breaking man;
Breaking the Sabbath;
Breaking the Kosher table laws;
Breaking the laws about touching the unclean, after not sacrificing for his sin;
Turning water into wine and being blamed for being a drunk while drinking with sinners at their homes;
Telling off the Religious elite;
Messing up the Temple;
Denying the Temple as being God’s Temple;
Disagreeing with sacrifice;
Upsetting the religious elite and government officials;
Refusing to pledge allegiance to his birth nation and it’s king;
Refusing violence and retaliation;
Doing good, blessing and loving all, to include those who deemed him enemy, tortured and killed him, in doing so refusing a Holy, Religious or Just War;
Being Merciful;
Forgiving;
Dying;
Defeating Death, Hades and the Grave;
Emptying Hades;
Resurrecting.

That’s how Father does life, not like Cain, but more like Abel, with his own change in reaction: forgiveness, not vengeance.

As we recognize that we are truly in Christ and that our old things have all passed away, we will begin to “SEE” the New Heaven & Earth which are already here. First we “SEE” spiritually, and – as soon as we do – the full revelation takes place.

UNDERSTANDING THE WHOLE BIBLE
Exegesis means approaching the Bible by pulling from what it says. We are trying to learn what it says and what it means, and we are trying to draw something out of the Bible that is actually there. By contrast, eisegesis is when we approach the Bible and insert what we think is there, what we think it means. For example, exegesis of Matthew 24 involves reading the preceding chapters. In these chapters we find Jesus declaring unfolding judgment against Jerusalem. With this backdrop, it is easy to understand what the disciples meant when they asked Him, in Matthew 24, when these things will happen. It is clear they were referencing the judgments Jesus talked about in the preceding chapters. This is what it means to draw meaning out of Scripture based on the actual content and context of the Scripture, not on our preconceived ideas. By contrast, many modern views of Revelation are a good example of eisegesis. For example, when people read about the eagle in Revelation that is flying and declaring woe (see Rev. 8: 13), they assume the eagle must refer to the United States of America, because the eagle is the national symbol. This is eisegesis, because it clearly is not what John meant. The United States did not exist in John’s day, so he could not have been referring to it. The root issue here is how we interpret Scripture.

Understanding the Whole Bible

>>> h-a-l-l-e-l-u-j-a-h <<< WHEN A FEARFUL, UNKIND OR UNPLEASANT THOUGHT DROPS INTO YOUR HEAD AND YOU SUMMARILY DISMISS IT IT DOESN'T MOVE ON TO THE NEXT UNSUSPECTING VICTIM. IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE YOU HAVE DESTROYED IT !!

The Baptist fought the Pentecostals, Pentecostal fought the charismatics, the charismatics fought the word of faith, the word faith fought the Grace guys, the grace guys fight the kingdom and present truth, and on and on it goes we always have to fight what’s above us rather than look into it and really study it. – Lynn Hiles
