Revelations 11:4-12

My Beloved, all of us are called to mission, to go out into the world and spread the Good News more by the way we live, move and speak in the public square than in preaching and teaching.  If our lives do not reflect faithfully all that we preach and teach we will be quite ineffective in drawing souls to You.  Sts. Peter and Paul are the examples we are called to follow.  They are missionaries par excellence who dedicated their lives in making You known.  So many have followed in their footsteps and because they were ready to lay down their lives the Gospel is now known by  people of all nations from one end of the earth to the other.  Anyone who is willing to lay down his life in order to lose it for the sake of the Kingdom of God will gain it in glory in heaven.

Psalm 114:1-2, 9-10,

Lord God, my Beloved, Peter is the Rock on which You have raised Your Church.  You dwell here in Your fullness.  It is here that Your faithful find refuge.  In You she is made our fortress, our protector, our deliverer, our shield.  She conquers nations and she brings people to their knees before Your rule as our Lord and our God.

Luke 20:27-40 

My Beloved, many people in the 21st century like the Sadducees do not believe in the resurrection.  If they did, they would be accountable so rather than face up to the truth that their souls will never die, they prefer to bury their head in the sand.

So many studies are conducted and words are written and experiments are made with only one goal and purpose, to convince as many gullible people as possible that there is no such thing as Absolute Truth.  They twist and contort words in order to bend them to suit their concocted version of the truth.  They use high sounding phrases and jargon to hide, fudge and blur the lines of truth in order to sow doubt and confusion and  knowingly or unknowingly they become the agents of evil.

Today seldom less than seven claim one woman for a while.  Children are becoming more precocious with each generation and are even encouraged to be so.  It is a deliberate attempt to invade the innocence of God's little ones under the spurious guise of freedom.  Our culture is constantly assaulting and bombarding us by using any and all means available to preach the lie as truth and many are taken in by the package of glitz and the glamor due to sheer ignorance.

Verse 37 The dead will be raised and the God of Abraham, Moses and Isaac will demand accountability for having squandered every opportunity and all our resources to prey on the weak and the ignorant.

The Word is Truth, Wisdom, Knowledge and Perfection in its fullness and will always emerge victorious and triumphant. Time will reveal the power and majesty of God's Word.

Psalm 119:101 I turn my feet from evil paths that I may keep step with Your Word.

Revelations 10:8-11, Psalm 119:14, 24, 72, 103, 111, 131, Luke 10:45-48

Revelations 10:8-11

My Beloved we live in the realm of the flesh and we have become tired and insensate.  We have become crude and thick.  Our spirits are as heavy as lead and it is unable to raise itself for we are devoid of grace.  Our ears are deafened because we have deliberately filled it with noise in order to drown out the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit.We are unhappy but we act lie we are delirious with joy as we try to stir up our dead senses with sins that are more outrageous than the other.

For those of us who are willing to hear Your call, You fill us with the sweetness of Yourself in Your Word.  We experience its glory, its power, its majesty, its ability to enable us soar like an eagle to the highest heavens.  We are overwhelmed with the Beauty, Truth, Majesty and power of Your most Holy Word.  We ought not to hide the Gift we have received of Yourself selfishly.  You call us to mission.  To go out and speak this Word boldly to many people, nations and kings.  It is then we will realise how bitterly opposed the world is to You - so opposed that they will do everything to stop us from preaching and teaching the Word,the only Word that has power to save.


Psalm 119:14, 24, 72, 103, 111, 131,

Father God, what more could Your children desire than the ultimate Gift that You have given us - the ETERNAL WORD, the Word that reposed in Your bosom, the Word whose utterance brought forth everything from nothing.  The Word that You sent into the world to dwell in the womb of a young virgin who cherished the Word, nourished the Word, nurtured the Word, became one with the Word before she brought Him forth from into the world.  The Word lay cherished in her filling her with unimaginable joy and delight until she brought Him forth to her ultimate sorrow and dismay when she saw how the Word was denied, rejected, abused and finally put to death.

Thankfully we cannot kill God and we cannot kill the Word who is God.  We tried and we failed and the Word is now stronger, more powerful, more radiant and immanent than ever.


Luke 10:45-48


My Beloved, the world continues to defile all that is sacred - marriage, family, life, children, women, men. We are on an ever spiralling madness to pollute the true, the noble, the good and the beautiful.  This is surely Satan's last hurrah.  How much further Beloved are we to sink until You appear and overthrow with whip and cord those who have dared to work in league with evil to destroy the works of Your hand.  Yet there is hope my Lord, there is always hope.  Yes, we have turned Your temple, our bodies into a den of robbers who pillage and steal the treasures of our immortal soul but once You have cleansed us, once we fall down on our knees in contrition and beg forgiveness, You will wipe us clean with Your Blood, You will restore our inheritance and evil will be whipped and cowed and rendered impotent even though they are presently frothing with manic hatred right now quite unaware that they are puppets and tools in the hands of evil.  But the day is coming when verse 48 will be fulfilled.

"but they were unable to do anything, for all the people were listening to him and hanging on his words."

  Thank You my Beloved for HOPE.
