Give Thyself Wholly…

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thy self, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shall save thyself, and them that hear thee. ~ 1 Timothy 4:15-16

I have had a number of dreams lately, most recently last night, where I am bare-ass naked in very public places. And this morning it dawned on me why. Over the past several weeks, most recently being yesterday, I have observed people who are shaping and creating their future from the pallet of expectation. And where do our expectations come from? They can only come from our past, and for many of us, myself included, that can be a pretty ugly and pain-filled pallet…childhood wounds…father wounds, etc. This is why our Father in heaven wants us to be as little children (Mark 10:15), unstained by the past, and unburdened by doubt, anxiety, and expectation of the future…completely and wondrously available to the NOW!

“Oh well, I will think about these things when I have time.” The only time you will have is the day after you are dead, and that will be eternity. An hour, or half an hour, of daily attention to, and meditation on our own spiritual life is the secret of progress.   (Moral Found.) ~ Oswald Chambers, The Harness of Meditation

If the Father wants us as children, what does the enemy that preys on children want us as? He wants and needs us so fully clothed in our expectations, anxieties, doubts, and fears, that we are unable to see and/or believe what he is doing to them right in front of us in the now!

We have another, and in my estimation, equally serious problem. Our Father wants us as we came into this world (Exactly as He made His grand entrance), but in such condition we are powerless against the enemy…

You have said, “What can I do?” But when Christ by His Spirit grips you, what can you not do? Truly you may adopt Paul’s language and say, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Phil. 4:13)…There are many who appear to be very mighty in prayer, wondrous in supplications, but they require God to do what they can do themselves. Therefore, God does nothing at all for them. ~ Charles Spurgeon, Spurgeon on Prayer & Spiritual Warfare, Prayer Makes Us Useful

A recent survey of our members (patriots looking for work) resulted in the formation of four committees: Protect Our Kids, Train Them Up (Proverbs 22:6), Election Integrity, and Constitutional Action…God’s perfect timing for those fresh from their morning meditation, empowered by God, and looking to make themselves useful! Imagine the world you and I could create…

We’re all tied to the same old failings, finding shelter in the things we know. We’re all dirty like corrupted small towns, we’ll bring our troubles and Lay ‘Em Down!

Imagine…When He returns, it will be in the NOW…what if we’re not there? The one and only time in my life I was ever arrested was for skinny-dipping in Texas. #TrustInHim! #GetNaked!
