Driving

Erik Liechter was driving the family home from a long day out and about. They had worked there way so far into the other side of the metroplex that it would now take an hour to get home, he was on the final stretch of that hour and getting quite tired. Wife and kids were asleep a half hour ago.



Erik was distracted by many thoughts about things he wanted to do in life but hadn't, and things he intended to do but never got around to, and duties of tomorrow morning. He tried not to bring work home with him, but nevertheless, he did.



It was somewhere in those thoughts that he found himself drifting into a sea of emotions and images and when he began seeing a images of flying people and impossible things happening all around him... The bumping and jarring of the vehicles snapped him into reality and he realized he'd been dreaming. The next few moments were like slow motion. His heart full of rushing incoming adrenaline began to pump faster and his mind pulled out of the sluggish haze it had succumbed to. Through his blurred vision he could see that he had veered off the road into the overgrown side fields, he glanced around to see his whole family still asleep, and all this happened within fractions of a second. He turned forward just in time to see the car headed towards a tree and realized that he wasn't even holding on the wheel. He tried to grasp for the wheel but it was too late the tree was coming and he put his hands up preparing for impact, he let out a quick "Please GOD! NO!" before the moment came he closed his eyes... nothing, darkness, dreams, void.



When he came to himself there was light warming his cheek and he stirred. At first he thought he must be at home but then images of last night came to his mind and he didn't want to open his eyes to see what carnage awaited. He couldn't feel anything broken and he sat forward and rubbed his eyes and opened them, the bright light around him stung and blinded him so he closed them again. As his vision returned he found himself not in the drivers seat of a Lexus SUV but on the ground in a sleeping bag. He turned to see his family around him, also in sleeping bags. The material made of old, musty cloth.



His mind was still processing and confused, he turned around all about him, no car, no road, just his Wagon and Horses and campfire... Wagon and Horses?!? He felt srongly that these were his, but had no idea why. Just then his son, Kenny age 6, stirred and sat up, he must have had the same reactions by the looks that went through his face in just moments. His wife and younger son and daughter still slept. Kenny stood up, "Where's the car Dad? What happened?" Erik shrugged, "I have no idea what's going on here son, but stay close." The two stood up and looked all around. No car, no road, nothing that smelled of civilization. That's when they noticed each others clothes. They each looked like something out of a Mid-Evil Times Show. Nothing made sense. It wasn't funny but out of nervousness they both laughed...

Full Circle

Fashion. Couture. Money. These summed up the life of Jacques Sose'. The fact that he was born "Bobby Joe Smithe" in the backwaters of a Louisiana swamp to a deep Cajun family was known to very, very few. His own family, those that still lived, didn't know he was still alive and wouldn't recognize him if he walked in the house with all the changes he'd undergone in the last 10 years. Among the few who did know about his origins were his lawyer, who assisted with the new identity and kept it well hidden, his sister, Emma, who also left her past behind, and his partner Lazo Kalrian, who didn't know the details only that he had left some things behind.



It was on the road between airports and meetings on the few occasions that he could find no travel with him that the memories of those days came back. Today he is driving from LAX to a GALA show in Palm Springs, CA. A beeping sound was a welcome intruder to the flash backs, accept that the beeping came from the gas indicator showing well into E. Jay, as his close friends called him, pulled off the road somewhere past San Bernardino.His mind was still full of visions of a history that he'd paid good money to supress. Apparently he'd fogotten to check the gas gauge at the last major city.



This area gave him the chills. It wasn't quite the cajun swamp lands, but it still smelled of trailer parks, lucky strikes, and bud light. It took all the strength he had to put his highly paid Psychiatric medication to work in order to pull into the gas station. He pretended to be fishing for something in the car as a pan handler passed by asking for change. The man nearly knocked on Jay's window before being interupted by someone offering money accross the way.



Shivering, from the filth not from the cold, he stood at the machine and threw a small fit when his card would not work. "Please see attendant" may as well have said "Go see swim with hungry sharks". "OK... OK..." Jay got a hold of himself "This isn't the gladiator ring in Rome this is just a gas station. You can do this. Just walk in, and pay, pump and go." He quickly strode accross the parking lot to the store to "see the attendant", chiding himself for neglecting to notify his bank of this trip to prevent his card from being declined.



Jay stood in line behind a woman with a pink monster truck T-top and her two fighting kids and in front of a man with a tattered hoody that smelled like a sewage tank. He paid his for his pump in cash and rushed back to the car. He pumped, returned the nozzel, and got in. Filling out his milleage and gas log for his tax preparer Jay was suddenly distracted by a commotion in the store. The hoody wearer was flailing his arms about yelling at the attendant... gun in hand. The scene shocked him so much that he couldn't move. The man ran outside, glanced over the parking lot and headed... straight for Jay's car! Before he could think to put the car in gear and go the hoody had gotten into the backseat. "Drive!"



At first Jay didn't move but at the sound of the round entering the chamber, he put the car in gear. It had been 10 years since he'd heard that sound. Cajun people all use and carry guns. He could probably still take one apart and put it back together blindfolded like his uncle used to make him do. "Where to sir?" Jay asked. "Anwhere else! Move it!" so they headed out and onto the highway toward Palm Springs. Maybe he could still make his meeting and the man could have this nice car afterward...

Sufficient Grace

POOR is Rich
I open to Matthew Chapter 5 and I'm reading verse 3 over and over.

 Matthew 5

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
To be blessed is to be empowered to prosper. Poor here refers to helpless and unable to help ones-self. As opposed to helpless but able to help ones self. This poor is totally un able to accomplish it's own ends.

To be poor in the spirit is to be totally unable to help ones-self spiritually. Everyone is in this state. There is no special class of poor here, this is all mankind. All people are helpless spiritually, caught up in a sin-cursed earth.

Kingdom of God/Kingdom of Heaven = God's ways of doing things, God's kingdom, His methods and His system of operation. VS the Worlds system of operation. God's Kingdom is not for some day in the future, it is here, it is now, and it is in you. It overrides all other systems and rules of operation.

"Empowered to Prosper are those who have come to realize, acknowledge, and embrace the fact that they, in and of them selves, are totally incapable to helping themselves in the spirit and before God. Only a person who has come to that point can then access God's system of operation and override their situation. The only way to get things done God's way is to realize you can't. "

GRACE is Sufficient
So then you realize that any promotion you attain without God doing it will not last or bring happiness. You realize that you are helpless to do anything without God. ALL that does not proceed from Faith is Sin. This then brings us to understanding His Grace.

II Corinthians 9

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work

The Grace of God IS HIS ability on YOUR ability giving you the ability to do. His super on your natual making your supernatural. You have all, in all, abounding to all. Grace then is equal to abundance. Paul demonstrates this for us in Phillipians 4.

Phillipians 4
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned , in whatsoever state I am , therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased , and I know how to abound : every where *and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry , both to abound and to suffer need . 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Why is Paul content when he is hungry, cold, or naked? Because it brings Glory to God when you lack? NO... that's silly religious thinking. Is he being made like God when he lacks? Well, does God lack anything in heaven? No...

Content: Strongs #842 Autarkes
Definition: sufficient for one's self, strong enough or processing enough to need no aid or support independent of external circumstances contented with one's lot, with one's means, though the slenderest.

Paul is content because he is strong... he is content because he can do ALL THINGS through the Anointing (Christ = Anointing) of God which gives him the strength to do it. So then he is not saying that God gives him the strength to put up with cold, hunger, and naked. He is saying God gives him the strength to overcome it and not be that way for long. A person who understands his anointing could be stripped of all he has and be worth twice as much in a matter of months. That is the real story of Job. Despite what attacks your blessing, trust God and you will bounce back better than you were! If you need something just come to God's throne, BOLDY not with Worry or doubt! (Heb 4:16)

Paul also learned that it is God's tools we must fight with but that it is WE who must take that stand against the Devil's attacks!

WEAK is Strong

Ephesians 6
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.


Then you come to 2 Corinthians 12 and have a much better understanding of what is being said:

"When I am Weak, then I am strong."

2 Corinthians 12

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak , then am I strong.

I don't take pleasure in the fact that I have difficulties. That would be stupid. I take pleasure despite the difficulties and even when difficulties come I delight myself in the Lord anyway. Because I know that when I am weak, poor in spirit, that I have access to God, The Anointing of God, and ALL his tools and ways and operations. I have the Kingdom of Heaven system of operation at my disposal to overcome and conqour any situation.

John 16:33Romans 12:21

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.



Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

1 John 5:4

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

God says his Grace IS sufficient. Totally able to help you overcome. Glory in the fact you know you are weak, only then can you have access to God's kingdom tools and use them to overcome! Perfect in bible language means to be maturing, or brought to completion. a car isn't "Perfected" until it's on the road driving. A loan is perfected, legally, until the title has been transfered into the lienholders name.

My grace and power is more than enough for you. My ability to bring to completion the request you have is brought to completion in weakness. You CAN only overcome WITH GOD, when you realize that you can't without Him. You can't do it alone. HE won't do it for you. But you CAN do it with Him!

Doppelgänger _ Spritual not Physiological

They don't know it yet, but they are witnessing demonic oppression in this person. Very intrigueing. Science and God, clashing worldviews, trying to explain the same phenona different ways.
Mark 9:17-19 (New King James Version)


17 Then one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. 18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”

19 He answered him and said, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppelgänger

Doppelgänger



Spelling
The word doppelgänger is a loanword from German: Doppel (double) and Gänger (walker).[1] It was first used by Jean Paul in the novel Siebenkäs (1796), and explained by a footnote.

As is true for all other common nouns in German, the word is written with an initial capital letter. In English, the word is conventionally uncapitalized (doppelgänger). It is also common to drop the diacritic umlaut, writing "doppelganger."

[edit] Scientific and philosophical investigations
[edit] Left temporoparietal junction
In September 2006, it was reported in Nature[2] that Shahar Arzy and colleagues of the University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland, unexpectedly had reproduced an effect strongly reminiscent of the doppelgänger phenomenon via the electromagnetic stimulation of a patient's brain. They applied focal electrical stimulation to a patient's left temporoparietal junction while she lay flat on a bed. The patient immediately felt the presence of another person in her "extrapersonal space." Other than epilepsy, for which the patient was being treated, she was psychologically fit.

The other person was described as young, of indeterminate sex, silent, motionless, and with a body posture identical to her own. The other person was located exactly behind her, almost touching and therefore within the bed on which the patient was lying.

A second electrical stimulation was applied with slightly more intensity, while the patient was sitting up with her arms folded. This time the patient felt the presence of a "man" who had his arms wrapped around her. She described the sensation as highly unpleasant and electrical stimulation was stopped.

Finally, when the patient was seated, electrical stimulation was applied while the patient was asked to perform a language test with a set of flash cards. On this occasion the patient reported the presence of a sitting person, displaced behind her and to the right. She said the presence was attempting to interfere with the test: "He wants to take the card; he doesn’t want me to read." Again, the effect was disturbing and electrical stimulation was ceased.

Similar effects were found for different positions and postures when electrical stimulation exceeded 10 mA, at the left temporoparietal junction.

Arzy and his colleagues suggest that the left temporoparietal junction of the brain evokes the sensation of self image—body location, position, posture etc. When the left temporoparietal junction is disturbed, the sensation of self-attribution is broken and may be replaced by the sensation of a foreign presence or copy of oneself displaced nearby. This copy mirrors the real person's body posture, location and position. Arzy and his colleagues suggest that the phenomenon they created is seen in certain mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, particularly when accompanied by paranoia, delusions of persecution and of alien control. Nevertheless, the effects reported are highly reminiscent of the doppelgänger phenomenon.[3] Accordingly, some reports of doppelgängers may well be due to failure of the left temporoparietal junction.

See monothematic delusion for a detailed description of various psychological problems including the syndrome of subjective doubles, which may be related to the doppelgänger.[4] See also out-of-body experience and the Third Man phenomenon.

Power!

Power! 


     David had the people bring the Ark back to Israel on a cart. This was not the God prescribed plan of action. God had previously established that it must be carried by Levites and that they must carry it by the polls. In this case it was on a cart, which had previously carried who knows what unclean things. It was treated as a show piece and not as a holy sacred thing. The oxen stumbled and Uzza put his hand to stabilize it and died because of it.


     The raw power of God was released into this man and it killed him instantly. It was this same raw power of God that hit Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 and killed them. However it also the same power that was used in creation and the same power that raised Jesus from the Dead... 
 
     The Spirit of God hoovered over the waters in Genesis one... The Word (who is God, who is the Word)(John 1) said LIGHT BE! That single explosion is still expanding over 6000 years later violently. That same WORD said "MAN BE IN OUR IMAGE..." That same statement caused Jesus to come and rectify the mess of the first man to ensure that MAN BE IN OUR IMAGE would still come to pass.



     That power now dwells in your mortal body, quickening it... making it alive. It is that same power that BURST onto the scene in Acts 2 empowering 120 people to turn the world upside down. Every time you come in contact with someone, if you are saved, you have the potential of releasing that power... 
 
...the power that created the universe, the power that created man, the power the raised Jesus from the dead, the power that created miracles, signs and wonders in the ministry of Jesus and anyone ministering in Jesus Name from the beginning to now...


     ...THAT POWER could be released from you the same as it was the day a woman with an issue touched Jesus and it left Him! 


     THAT POWER was released... BUT it caused different reactions depending on how it was handled. That creative power killed three people on two occasions because it was mishandled. In 1 Chronicles David's mishandling of it caused another man to die. The POWER of God is serious, weighty, electric... 


     Take a moment to reflect on how you may have mishandled the power. How could I? The WORD IS the POWER OF GOD. The word is power. The power is the Word. The Spirit of God is God. God is the Word. The Word is God. The ARK contained the Word and Power and Presence of God. The three (Power, Word, Presence) are inseparable. To mishandle one is to mishandle the three. 


     To mishandle the Word of God is to mishandle the spirit and power of God. I find that sometimes I've mishandled it by ignoring it, treating it as a non important activity. Sometimes I've mishandled it by choosing something else. Sometimes by not believing it. If God says healing is His will in His Word, which he 100% unmistakeably and undeniably does... and I refuse to speak his word into my health especially when sickness is attacking me... I am treating his word as less important than my symptoms. If He tells me to go somewhere, do something, say something, work somewhere, take part in some activity, volunteer here, write this or that... and I do not, I either choose not to, or ignore it, or become distracted... I mishandle his Word which is His presence which is His Power... 


     To mishandle the Word of God when he gives it is to say that you don't want His help... which makes it MUCH harder to hear Him in trials, temptations or any other crisis and therefore MUCH harder to heed his Word. This is where people die and others say "God must have wanted an angel in heaven..." Or some other such non sense. They have been mishandling His Word and therefore don't know His Word. Yes... sometimes disobedience will cost a life, yours or someone else's.

    If I am called to minister to people in location A, but I'm still working as a shoemaker in location B because I've grown so accustomed to ignoring the leading of God... how many people will miss out on the blessing God wanted to bring because of me? 


    Darrell... DO NOT MISHANDLE THE WORD OF GOD!

Exodus 25

¹³ And you shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. ¹⁴ You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, that the ark may be carried by them. ¹⁵ The poles shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it.

1 Chronicles 15

¹¹ And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites: for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab. ¹² He said to them, “You arehouses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it. ¹³ For because you did not do it the first time, the LORD our God broke out against us, because we did not consult Him about the proper order.” the heads of the fathers’

1 Chronicles 13:6-12 (New King James Version)

⁶ And David and all Israel went up to Baalah,^[a] to Kirjath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who dwells between the cherubim, where His name is proclaimed. ⁷ So they carried the ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. ⁸ Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.
⁹ And when they came to Chidon’s^[b] threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled. ¹⁰ Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him because he put his hand to the ark; and he died there before God. ¹¹ And David became angry because of the LORD’s outbreak against Uzza; therefore that place is called Perez Uzza^[c] to this day. ¹² David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring the ark of God to me?” 

Exodus 37

Making the Ark of the Testimony

 ¹ Then Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits was its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. ² He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold all around it. ³ And he cast for it four rings of gold to be set in its four corners: two rings on one side, and two rings on the other side of it. ⁴ He made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. ⁵ And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. ⁶ He also made the mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits was its length and a cubit and a half its width. ⁷ He made two cherubim of beaten gold; he made them of one piece at the two ends of the mercy seat: ⁸ one cherub at one end on this side, and the other cherub at the other end on that side. He made the cherubim at the two ends of one piece with the mercy seat. ⁹ The cherubim spread out their wings above, and covered the mercy seat with their wings. They faced one another; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.

Exodus 37:5
And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

Deuteronomy 10:7-9 (New King James Version)

⁷ From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of rivers of water. ⁸ At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister to Him and to bless in His name, to this day. ⁹ Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, just as the LORD your God promised him.) 

Genesis 1

The History of Creation

 ¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was^[a] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

Acts 5

Lying to the Holy Spirit

 ¹ But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. ²part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. ³ But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? ⁴ While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”
⁵ Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. ⁶ And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
⁷ Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. ⁸ And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?”
She said, “Yes, for so much.”
⁹ Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” ¹⁰ Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. ¹¹ So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things. And he kept back

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Matthew 9:21-23 (King James Version)

 ²¹For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
 ²²But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. 

Luke 4:32
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
