Silver and Gold have I none

but I freely give of the wealth of God's Son.

For I have received power from on High

and I give to you now what money cannot buy.

Money can only purchase what man has made,

it cannot purchase the things God gave...

So pursue money  -  if that is what you wish

but it's a poor substitute 

for the wealth that makes our souls rich.

Do not beg for or pursue

that which can only bring man's blessings to you. 

Rather, set your heart on things above  -

Righteousness,  peace and joy and God's love. 

Freedom from fleshly desires and the second death -

now THOSE are riches that eternally bless.

Seek the Holy Spirit's wisdom and knowledge. 

Seek those things they don't teach you in your typical Bible college...

"There is he that makes himself rich, yet has nothing. There is he that makes himself poor; yet has great riches"

 Recent studies have now proven that Prolonged Sin Usage (PSU) is extremely detrimental to the soul.

The wall of the soul degrades over time  - after years of PSU, making it more and more difficult to repent. 

The soul tries to hide from God instead of engaging Him, as He desires. He wants to fellowship with every soul. 

Indeed  - a new organization has formed  - The FWESF, or Fellowship With Every Soul Foundation.  Their mandate is to combat the spreading problem of PSU. Said a spokesperson- 

"When one is addicted to PSU  - the wall of the soul, or it's lining if you will, starts to degrade, making it harder and harder to believe God and walk with Him - in His Spirit, on a daily basis. Prolonged Sin Users tend to avoid God during the week and only meet with Him on Sundays,  at church, but because of their PSU, even on Sunday's they stop meeting with Father. They only appear to be meeting with Him, but they're really only meeting with their pastor and fellow seekers, not with God. And because the soul is typically hidden from the view of anyone not walking in the Spirit  -  no one can tell they're addicted to sin. I suggest PSUser's seek immediate help. We have PSU addiction centre's available  - where users can go and get free of their addiction to sin. Eventually,  if they stay on the path we put them on and remain committed to the cause of freeing their souls from sin use". 

"Are these centres the local churches?"

"Goodness no! I just told you - users use the local church to hide their sin addiction   - not expose it so it can be dealt with. The local church typically enables them to appear to be right with God when they're really sin addicts. Some churches may occasionally invite them to come forward and confess their sins - but that's like putting a bandaid on an open wound, besides which, many choose not to go forward. In this respect,  churches are like the fig leaves Adam and Eve hid behind. They shouldn't be given the choice to remain in their seats - they should be confronted and forced to deal with their PSU. Occasionally we findca church that will cooperate and become a centre for sin control, but most often they won't,  for fear of losing people."

"Better to lose a few people than lose your own soul, i think"

"Exactly! We end up using any facility available to us  - often homes if they have a large enough space to meet in"

"Well, thank you for your time today"

"Not a problem. I and my co-workers (angels to you) are being kept quite busy. Though the sin user epidemic is raging - in fact, it's at an all time high; so too has the number of souls seeking an escape from their addiction increased. Again - one of our biggest challenges is the local churches because people are convinced that by attending them, once or twice a week, their addiction will leave them. They get greatly discouraged when it only gets worse. It's a vicious cycle. Weekly, repetitive confession doesn't break bonds. They're taught nothing about spiritual warfare, how to cast down thoughts that rebel against Father's will. They aren't taught how to defeat PSU through PPP (Prolonged Prayer, and Praise) and constantly meditating on the Words of our God. Some are taught knowledge about spiritual warfare but never actually do it."

"Well, again, thank you for the good work you and your co-angels do for us"

"It's our pleasure to serve the Most High  - all we want to do is teach people to do the same. Remember,  the most low are best known by the Most High"

Studies show that the benefits of quitting PSU are many  -

1) Abilitt to fly

2) Ever increasing fellowship with ABBA, instead of running from Him, we run to Him.

3) Much greater sensitivity to the Holy Spirit 

4) Ability to clearly discern Father's voice, as well as false voices disguised as His

5) Ability to do Father's will- we become obedient children, instead of rebellious

Yes -  Prolonged Holiness, over time, can rebuild our soul's defenses, and cause us to be in good health, as we're meant to be. Like stopping any habit, it takes awhile but eventually good habits replace bad. Psalm 23:3

 My love has wings

 sends my soul soaring

 Frees me to pursue better things

 things above and not below

 Things my love chooses to bestow

My love has wings

so He may come quickly to me

He takes me by the heart

till i can no longer resist

the wonderful bliss

that is His presence 

Till my baser nature 

bows low in submission 

That at the last  - His

at the last  - His

No more my own

but purchased 

by all He gave and gives

till i am fully       His

My love has light

that fills the inner chambers

of my soul

till every crooked way in me, every path

has been exposed

and becomes whole, becomes unbent, till at the last 

I'll be present 

when His heart opens wide

and he invites me inside 

to live forever,  as His bride

My live has all i need

all i desire,  all i seek

My love makes me complete 

lacking nothing  - no good thing 

has He withheld from me

For it gives Him pleasure 

to give me the keys

to His kingdom, 

to His house,

to that which my soul needs:

His wisdom, 

His heart,

that at the last

I no longer desire gifts

but the gift giver

I no longer want things

but the lover of my soul

of whom my heart sings!

No other desire can compete

with the desire to know Him

as He knows me

No longer through a glass darkly 

but face to face  -

I want what Angels and Prophets have longed for  -

His kingdom come fully in me,

because my King dines with me, personally 

What a feast!

What a meal!

For from I, the least,

You do not conceal 

or keep from me

Your kingdom's mysteries  -

most especially 

                             ......intimacy

One God, One Faith, One Baptism, 

 One Father of us all.

One Spirit, One purpose  - 

To rise up from the Fall.

To transcend our flesh,

 to find our happiness 

by fulfilling our Father's will,

not our own

continuing upward until

  the Third Heaven is our home

where we meet in Christ on High

Where we achieve the Unity of the Faith

by being one in Spirit (in the Sky) for

when we behold Him -  our hearts make haste -

and we flee from all idolatry and fornication 

     that we may be mature and pure for Him

on the day of our visitation 

One life  - to give

One death - to live

One hope - our Christ 

in whom we alone find eternal life  

 Sometimes our dreamd

       are long buried prayers

offered to the only

       God who really cares

Sometimes the hidden cries of the heart

 are revealing the wicked one's fiery darts.

Dreams

 can be a means

 by which we cry out to Abba

 or by which he cries out to us  -

  Though they may be spoken without words  -

     Subconsciously 

          they are still being heard

               by the One who sees

     our innermost part  -

   The God who dwells in our heart

 Should you choose to walk away  - to turn from all God has to say, to turn from the path of Truth  - remember this for the rest of your life:  you can turn back anytime-  you can embrace this love of mine. You can forsake reason to sing my rhyme

If you re to broken to come to me,

if you can't find your way home,

Remember the man by the pool and know  - 

I will come to you.....if you want me to,

like the man of the tombs,

whom i went out of my way for  -

Cry out to me if you can,

fall at my feet if you can't, 

only please understand  -

I see your heart - turning to me,

though your lips may not yet speak,

though you may yet be too weak,

  know this to be true  -

Oh my child, I will come to you,

for it is my will,

to love you still....

I love this fact - Jesus WENT and he SENT. He went to the lost sheep; then he told us to do the same. We must stop inviting them to church - as if we're inviting them to meet God there, as if God still confines himself to a building made with hands. No, WE must go to them  - show them  - that just like Jesus did, God is still going to them  - to meet them where they're at, like the man at the pool and the man at the tombs, and countless others, the woman at the well: all these met Jesus because He went to them.
