Down in a bit of a wild/wildnerness area this morning, clearing some bush. On the lookout for snakes, wet area. So got to thinking, ..what if I get bitten and die ? I know there are many things in my destiny that are still to be. Obviously there is a fine balance between taking risks and playing it safe. That surf looks safe, but once I get in, wow, where did that undertow come from.
Why are we after God for His presence, when His presence already exists in us ?
Divine union, no seperation.
Life is a journey. At a retreat last year, I saw the path ahead. It was a nice walking type path, grass and trees either side. It went upwards, so I thought, oh, it’s going to be a bit of a steep climb up further. So focusing on that part, I was taken there, like zooming in. To my amazement, the gradient was much less than I had first thought. So, that was a huge relief, it wasn’t going to be as hard and difficult as had been initially perceived.
I am somewhat puzzled by the local councils continued attempts to repair part of a road, just near here. Even after the last repair, the surface is already breaking up. The road continues to be repaired, again and again. It is usually the rain that does the initial damage, the surface of what has been repaired starts to break up, causing further opening up of the road. Exposure. Then I was reminded of a recent conversation with a close friend. It was about bloodlines, and the friend kept mentioning ‘maintenance’. I’m like, …what maintenance ?? Why consider patching up the road afterwards, when a PROPER job needs to be done ? Considering where this friend was coming from, I started to understand. Yes, in the past, there had been many ‘methods’ of repairing the ‘road’ of depression (testimony at ). Inner healing, deliverance, prayers for this and that. For me, these were all patchwork methods, just like the road repairs - continual maintenance needed to be done to establish some sort of normality. It is SO different after the bloodlines ministry, facilitated by Paula Wicks . (Ministry email hope@heartworks.life ) When a SHIFT happens, it truly happens. Philippians 1:6 New International Version (NIV) 6 Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
This was from a close brother in the Lord, over 20 years ago.
“……The road goes ever on, my friend, leaving rusty wrecks behind, and rural scenes, houses that are no longer homes - The Way leads you on, beyond them all. What lies ahead ? Who can say: The path vanishes to our sight in the blue distances of God’s own mountains.
