a world full of misplaced desires....and a dream in Gods heart

I have a Friend who wrote a song and one of the lyrics was "turn these abstract desires into something beautiful". Especially this time of year we see people overrun with so many desires. Its a never ending parade of greed and indulgence that doesn't allow the human soul any peace. We have so many desires inside of our soul that we cant seem to discifer or sort out in any way. they overtake us and cause us to fall into so many pains and hurts. How many scars are on our hearts and bodies from the our various longings.
I was looking in the word and I was amazed at how God took the desires and dreams of a man named Abraham, God took his simple normal, human desire for a child, for a son to carry on his name and God took it farther than Abraham could ever imagine. God said, "Abraham look at these stars. So shall be your descendants." from Abraham's simple desire for a child came Gods people, His Holy nation, His royal priesthood, His special possession and a blessing to all the earth.
Then I read about Hannah in the book of Samuel. How she to wanted a child and how God used that desire and her prayer to do something so much bigger than what she prayed for or desired. God used this woman's simple desire for a child and raised up for Himself a faithful priest in the land and a prophet who would anoint David the king who would prepare a line for Jesus in the earth, the saviour of us all.
Is it that God also shares with us in our simple desires? could it be that our desire for children was actually Gods desire that He placed in us? could it be hidden in our hearts are the desires of Gods heart and that they have just been misplaced by the world? Could it be that our simplest desires could hold amazing spiritual potential?
So many people with so many misplaced desires destroying there lives. Let us come to God with our desires and lay them at His feet.

"Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think"

Your desires that may have been used to cause you to sin or be hurt could be the very seed of God in the earth. After God cleans up those desires and sanctifies them they could be the very seed of HIS desire coming to pass in the earth.

hidden wisdom

I love it. I was looking at a Friends photo blog recently and I just started to get revelation. I had been meditating on 1 Corinthians 2 about the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages, the chapters all about the hidden wisdom that is only discerned by those with the Spirit. I started to realize how art allows us to see past the ordinary and allows you to see the hidden wisdom all around us. Like Jesus spoke of the wisdom of a simple common flower that had more beauty than king Solomon in all his glory.
The words of Jesus were brought to my mind about the lamp of the body filling the whole body with light and how the lamp is the eye to the body. So our perspective is what fills us with light, like Paul prayed that the eyes of there understanding be enlightened. Wisdom is perspective, walking in the Spirit of truth and letting Him bath us in revelation of God. Its amazing how that hidden wisdom is everywhere and how God teaches us the ways of His Kingdom which we cant see with the things that we can see. There are parables all around us.
Then I started to think the greatest parable, the greatest revelation of GOd is us, its humans, we carry the image of God, but its also the hardest thing for us to do sometimes is to see God in each other. As the scales fall off my eyes and my heart becomes more pure I am beginning to see Christ everywhere. Its such an adventure pursuing God while He pursues me.

May God give us more of this wisdom from above which is like the snow.....first pure.....then peaceable......gentle......

priceless

you know what the amazing thing is about someone who is crucified to this world? He cant be bought. Nobody could buy Jesus, they couldn't make Him king He didn't want it, they couldn't manipulate Him to teach what they wanted, He didn't compromise His message to please the Political or the religious. Even in Gethsemane He resisted the temptations of the devil and submitted to God.
I don't want to be bought by this world, I don't want to be purchased by the religious system or the political systems of man pleasing. This world is crucified to me and I to the world. It had to be this way, it has to be this way to follow Jesus

Here lies Louis....finally free

If I had wings like a dove Id fly away and be at rest
Id fly behind the veil into the desert
I can hear something I havnt heard in a long time
I can feel a breeze that takes me back to eternity
sending a simple sighn on uneven times
a new frame to fly out of
I can hear it if I strain my ear its just behind me
A still song flying over these mountains to meet me


I had this vision as I was worshipping at a meeting once, I saw the most beautiful mountains covered in lush green trees and jungles, I saw rolling, perfectly green hills but what was far more beautifull was what I did not see. In this vision the song of the Lord was rolling over the mountains and hills. The Spirit was saying to me through this that His song would be with me, no matter the mountain or hill.

So I say to you Jesus:

"Make haste my beloved,
and be like a gazelle
or a young stag
on the mountain of spices."

I can hear it......I can hear him coming.......

I always hated that inside person
I hated Him for who he was
I hated him for his weakness
I pushed him down and rejected him
then I found out that person was you
it was you that I was crucifying
Jesus.
