So, I was reading the writings of people who claimed to be prophets. They all claimed to clearly hear the “voice of god.” They say they continually hear from “Yahweh,” and “Jehovah god,” about the soon to arrive wrath of the end times. They are aroused by a god that smites their fellow humans. They are soldiers in the army of their fearsome destroyer. Their god that smites and slays the souls of his|her very own children. A god that snuffs out the very being of his own substance and condemns his|her consciousness and him|herelf to hell; within his universal being in us All.
The things that they say trouble me because they are sure they were speaking the words given to them by god. You can tell they have dressed their souls with the cloak of self-righteousness. Yet I am not that, and I do not believe this, so I do not accept what they say, so I wonder; am I headed to hell. Not just headed to hell, but “headed straight to hell”, to “burn and suffer for eternity”. All because I did no pay attention to a particular message, accept a certain “god,” or worship a hidden god in an exactly prescribed way.
We are the temple of God, held within God. I love the One with all my heart, and all of my soul. I laugh at him|her and tease him|her and then spend time admiring the unapparelled beauty and dignity of the One. I see the One in the natural world as he|she gives me little gifts of nature from within his|her being. But I’m not sure I am up to date on the right creed, the magic key that gets me into heaven. The secret handshake, the right password, the proper catechism; yet I’m madly in love with the One!
True prophets of the One, speak to the hearts of the Human. They speak to bring out the good that dwells in all of us. They call out to the human soul with love and compassion, not hatred and condemnation. Hatred and loathing always repels; it casts out but never gathers!
These people claim Jesus, yet I do not see the mercy and love of Jesus in them. They do not dine in the taverns and way places, they do not spend time with sinners; in the slums and the cages of luxury mansions, where their fellow humans live and suffer from a lack of compassion and love.
All human evil flows from a lack of empathy, compassion and love. Yet the drumbeats of “god” inspired by end time evil flow from their lips. With raging countenance they empower their own words to slay and kill, and to eternally damn and slay their fellow Humans. Their lips cast out hatred and aspersion on those who might be lured by words of love. Who might turn around, to cast their gaze on a loving God.
I Am not this, I am not that.
Father, inspire my tongue, to speak words that heal the souls of the Human so they also might love you.
No Human, who is plagued by guilt, can make the choice they are asking. Only love can overcome the emotional scars that so many of us have suffered as we sojourn here, searching for the One in our very own hearts. The One loves the Human, and by his|her power, the Human will be elevated into the place of love and light where God dwells.
The lips of these prophets casually call down wrath upon others; using an empowerment they claim, as they masquerade as the voice of god. They speak with glee as they announce the destruction of their fellow Human’s souls in hell.
Does God really punish the victim along with the criminal; the victim commits sin out of the burden of defilement, caused by the crimes committed against them; while the perpetrator commits’ a sin as a matter or course. Are they really both equally guilty? And even the perpetrator, developed his or her nature, at the hands of the evil in another Human, that did despicable things which destroyed their souls.
Father, fill us with the power of your Spirit so we will intuitively know how to live. Fill us with your presence so that we always see you in the eyes of the Others that we meet.
Is there no mercy for the Human, weighed down with the incredible burdens of the modern world. Is there no mercy granted for the Human, who is actively being defiled by the allurement of the screens; controlled by the men who are totally dominated by greed and the demons that control them. Who is guilty, the one who stumbles or the one who causes the fallible Human to stumble and fall?
For we are all guilty and have fallen short of the Glory of God.
Have you not gazed upon the Human soul as it flows from the consciousness of the One; as they have humbled themselves to serve others? The Ones who have given up everything out of compassion and love for their fellow Humans? Have you never experienced a mother’s love? Have you never seen the pride in a father’s eyes? Have you not stood in awe at the bravery of a warrior as he stood strong for his fellow men? Have you not marveled at the creative genius held within the Human? Have you never paused as the Human risks everything for the sake of truth? Yet you would condemn them all to hell because their lips have not spoken the right chant or creed.
Father, please have mercy on us or we all shall go “straight to hell.”
Yet, evil does prowl across the face of this planet and there is fearsome hell in the hearts of many. There are evil spiritual entities that feed off the Human, and inspire the Human to fear and hatred. I leave that sorting out to the One who moves within his|her perfect being. I leave “the judgement” to One who can weigh the Human heart on the scale of love and light.
The One needs and calls out for the upwelling of our compassion, not to our condemnation. Only love can draw the Human to God. I cannot be a prophet, if I am called to condemn the human with my own, filthy, Human lips. Any righteousness that I might acquire, has flowed to me through the presence of the One in me. If I have light and love in me, it has flowed from my beloved One; “so that none may boast”.
So here I am Father, I volunteer, through your power and presence to defend the Human. I know, stop laughing; I am a total fool, cast in weakness and uncertainty, filled with unrighteousness, but who else is there? Who else will defend the Human? The Humans are being spiritually slaughtered, and all of the religious “elect” stand by and watch and wonder why their words are empty and dry.
I am willing to diminish my own ego so that your presence can grow in me, and fill the places where I am weak. I am willing to allow the waters of your Spirit to envelop me and cast me in your image, and be transformed into a being of light and love in your hands. I am willing to take up a sword and lose my life for the sake of the Human.
The hapless Human, who dream walks through their existence here, never waking to You. But Father! They have no spiritual guides to bring them into your presence. Most all of the religious leaders are corrupt, or deceived, seeking money and glory for themselves. Preaching false doctrines which have been fabricated by the beasts that control the elite. The propaganda of the world fills the mind of the zombified human, as they aimlessly destroy themselves and their bodies, in a frenzy of lies and false sacrifice to the very Demons themselves.
I will defend the Human. I am here. But I am weak. I will lay my life down, for their sake. I will sacrifice it all to be given a chance to redeem the Human through your presence and power. And Father, there are so many others arising to meet this challenge. There are people appearing out of total obscurity to fight to uplift the Human and to help them remember who they are. They are standing up to those who would seek to destroy your children.
Please empower and encourage those who you are calling!
Many are simple. Many are seen as having little worth. Many are poor and weak. Many speak to You in obscurity, yet you Father know who they are and are intimately involved in their becoming. Please Father, lift them up with your power and glory. Empower them out of their weakness to be transformed to mighty warriors for You and Your Children.
1 Corinthians 1:27: “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.”
My lips offer praise and honor to You; to One who lifts me up so that I can see your Glory! One who lifts me up to serve your Children.
