The Deathly Battle For Life   It was as if I was standing in the middle of a tornadic wind swirling, gusting and whirling around me, the forces of good and evil, right and wrong, sanity and insanity, day and night, were fiercely battling, my mind caught in a vortex beyond description I was caught in the grip of the power of the forces which wage in warfare for our very life and soul, there was no let up or calming, it seemed it was the last and final grabbing, reaching deep into the very heart of me for control . . . either strong imprisonment or great freedom and peace Who am I, what am I, is there great value or no worth at all, what are the measurments, the standard by which these things are determined, it was not of my doing and yet I was caught in the great warfare, all that I knew was swept as leaves and debris in this enormous and powerful display of force I remembered the glimpse of deep abiding peace I had experienced, know it to be available, and yet I felt the great whorling of the powers of doubt, anti-Christ and unholy forces, this was not just me, all of mankind is caught in the net which is closing in, yet it is my experience in this moment of time and life I am in a great desert which is void and desolate of life, hope and peace, I have those memories within, yet they seem far away and out of my reach, by faith I shall walk again in the beauty of holiness and peace, all within me is being tested and tried, that which is dross shall be burned away, that which is eternal shall remain Is this the last fire or just the fiercest to date? I know it is in this fire that the Gold, pure and true can be purchased of Him, the only place it can be purified, it is not about anyone else but me, there are none with me, is there value to my soul, my life as it has been lived and is, There is one standard, One Judge, and He is true and just It matters not what I think nor others, I am being sifted, shaken in every part, I stumble, finding an oasis at times, drink a draught of the water of Life, so I may continue, the end in not in sight but I know it shall come When one's eyes are opened and ears unstopped, they can see all there is above and beneath as acuity comes It is disconcerting and fearful at times, and realization comes of how many truly want truth and will walk in it, compromise has become the watchword of this World, and yet for some it cannot be,I was on the mountain not long ago and recall the many and yet so few I saw who are also seeking Truth, I know I am not alone, and yet I am in this moment I feel the bond, the deep connection which is as a cord of love, without beginning or ending of days, like is drawn to like, and opposites repelled in this deadly battle for Life and Truth which is Eternal, it is not of a small consequence and easy to be seduced, led astray, yet I shall cling to Him, the only safety and Peace ~~~~~~ I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope. My soul waits for the Lord More than those who watch for the morning-- Yes, more than those who watch for the morning. Psalms 130: 5-6 ~~ NKJV     Sharon September 13, 2002
