Dear Father,

Thank You for making us a part of the Body of Christ.  It is a true Mystery of many mysteries in Your Kingdom:

That holy Breath that You breathed into us;

The grafting of the Gentiles;

The foolishness of the gospel;

The simplicity of salvation;

Everything is mysterious and glorious.

Many members, yet One;

One purpose.

Christ is Head, we are the Body.

We must follow the Head;

 Move accordingly as He dictates;

 Learn to take dictation;

 For we are living epistles known and read of men. 

Although war is everywhere;

You are Faithful to make Yourself known;

Knocking,

Standing at the door;

Longsuffering, Gentle and Kind;

Loving.

It is our Father’s wish that no one perishes as a casualty of this war.

You went so far as to bind the strongman that entangled us;

Giving us a space to answer Your call willingly;

 Now we know that the strongman has been taken captive;

 And all of us that have been captivated are set free forever;

 Free to choose which dictates of our own hearts to follow;

All other cares do not matter—

must see TV, celebrity updates; social media,  

food/clothes, new technology, mammon,

recession/depression, world news, Wall Street politics, or bygone eras. 

These cares hinder me. 

It is enough! 

I care about truth. 

Another kingdom. 

Too many cares in this world to carry,

Or to care about. 

Everything I carry with me,

I’d spend too much time trying to keep up with.

Jesus said to pack light—

no staff, no scrip, no bread, no money,

nor two coats, and no extra shoes,

nor money in your purse. 

We are led in a right way through the dictates of Jesus Christ. 

Jesus lived in righteousness so I know that He knows the way. 

And ALL that would attempt to exalt themselves above His way

will be made as plain as a plowed field, severed until leveled.

Thank You for answering my prayers. 

Amen
