The court room

The courtroom

Creation moans, as the earth dies. The graves are on trial, and life’s purpose is the jury. The judge is God and the prosecutor is satan. A young man with sweat pouring from his brow sips some water and sits in the defendants chair. 
God points at the defendant and calls him to the witness stand. The books are opened, and court comes to order. Satan comes to question the man, “Have you not lied to get yourself out of trouble,or have you not preached one thing to others and yet not walked the walk?” The man speechless could not deny. “On these grounds I declare this man guilty of hell, for Your Word declares, if a person breaks even one commandment you’ve broken them all. The wages of sin is death, this man must pay for his wages. He slacked in attending church, and did not spread Your message.”
“Order, I must have order in my court, sit down satan. Let me question the man. First of all the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ My anointed one.” And so He asked the man, “How close to Me do you consider yourself to be?” The man sat up, looked into those calming but righteous eyes and said, “I know who You are for I have walked and talked with You long enough that I can tell others of the nature of who You are. Plus You have reached down when I have been hurting and have sung me sweet lullabies till I am asleep in Your arms. “One more question what have you done for the least of these?” 

“I have been merciful to those who have been in need who have walked my way.” “Come into my Kingdom my Son,” and the courtroom disappears and I am in the presence of Glory. The Lord told me I past the test, for there are only two prerequisites to heaven, To love the Lord Your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, (relationship). And to love your neighbor as yourself, (which is the least of these.) To do the first commandment all you have to do is first receive His gift of grace, and then apply it by growing in Him. Then you must strengthen that relationship by repenting when you slip up. It is like with any good friend you will have pitfalls, but the question is will you get back up, still be friends even after the altercation.

Matthew Peter -- Your stories and characterizations are so riveting! You had me spell-bound the whole time and I realized while reading that I am often not right with my brother or in as close relationship with the Father, my God as I should be. Forgive me Lord and show me when I need to repent. Son, Thank you for showing me the way so many times through things that you say or write. I pray that the Lord Jesus really has sung lullabies to you in the night when you are hurting for that is an answre to one of my most often repeated prayers for you is to have a sweet sleep.

Change my heart

-
To follow You is not a service, but a pleasure. Lord let me breathe Your fresh air. You have cloaked me with Your Grace; search me and know me. Leave no stone unturned, I expose all my darkest of thoughts unto you, and ask that You might renew my mind. Your gentleness is patient with me, and I thank you for your belief in me. I’m ready to start making some changes in my heart. Take the chisel and the hammer and start chipping away at my imperfections. I give You the story of my life. With tears flooding down my cheeks, I weep for this world, if only they could know the You I know! There is no anger in Your eyes only sorrow that this world has chosen to forget about You. He wants so much to be your Father and friend, yet you push Him away and say, “I don’t need God.” And so you go on with your empty life trying to fill it with things and achievements, but after your filled your empty again and need to be refilled again. Nothing you get or achieve sustains you forever, but Christ can.

The old tavern

-
As far as the eye could see, there were many wooden shelves, all carved from the old oak that used to be out back in the garden. The shelves held many boxes, all made from priceless pearls. You could hear the thumping coming from each box, that of a heart beat in one’s chest.  There was an old man, disgruntled yet somehow he seemed to have been there before. He admired the wood work in the old tavern, and when he came to the boxes; he made an astonishing discovery. Opening one of them, he found a tablet with a name etched in the stone. He blew off the dust of one of the tablets, as the name inscribed started to shimmer. Words jumped off the stone saying, “My beloved son in whom I am well pleased, enter in.” The name on the tablet started to transform into a bod. In the twinkling of an eye he saw the future in his hands. (the rapture) Afraid he dropped the box and it closed. The tablet and the hologram of the rapture with the name and words spoken were drawn back inside the box, an

A vow of Purity

-
A vow of purity A vow of purity, so much devastation on the news, and raunchy media, I want to encourage a media fast. Do what you can to keep your heart guarded from all wicked thoughts. And the things that reinforce these thoughts, such as music, television, etc. cut them out of your diet. For we are not to be of this world. We are to turn away from our sinful desires and follow Christ. A vow of repentance, we can say all we want that we are sorry, but will we really change. It will take starving our flesh, and feeding our spirits. As this fast goes on, you will become dumbfounded at how much you cut out of your life. You will find that the world has desensitized us all to it’s evil. So let’s partner with the Holy Spirit and truly live!
