THE STONES OF THE SEA 7.16.18

​I Saw the Lord walking barefoot where the tide meets the land,
clothed in a robe of Purity and Holy Authority.
I watched Him stoop, HIS fingers brushing the grit,
and I asked, "Father, what is it You are doing?"
​He didn’t look up. He said,
"I am gathering the stones, to hold each one accountable."
​The air grew heavy. I thought of those who had wronged me,
and I prayed, "Lord, forgive them for the pain they’ve caused me..."
​But as the words left my lips, the wind shifted a bit.
I Saw the stones in His hands and I recognized the jagged edge.
I heard the echo of my own voice in their weight.
I Knew they are the stones I had thrown.
​Tears tracked through the dust on my face.
The Truth was a soul-crushing weight.
I don't deserve the mercy - I've asked for others to Receive.
I deserved the pits of hell ForEverAfter.
​Then,
with a motion like a sowing seed,
The Lord tossed the stones into the dead of the Sea.
They vanished without a ripple.
​I whispered, "Father... what are You doing now?"
​He turned,
His eyes like a quiet fire, and said:
"I am cleansing the pain of the world."
​I fell to His feet, the sand damp against my face,
and cried, "Glory!"
You ARE Holy!

9.21.24 Matthew 8:28-34  And when He came to the other side,  (Made it through) into the region of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon-possessed  (and Now this) met Him as they were coming out of the tombs.  (Death, Darkness, Despair) They were so extremely violent  (Call it what it is)  that no one could pass by that way.  (No One) And behold, they cried out, saying,  “What do we have to do with You, Son of God? (They Know Him) Have You come here to torment us before the time?”  (THEY KNOW HIM,  TO TORMENT,  THE WICKED..🤔REPENT!!) Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them.  (Staying Silent, minding their own, being Distant from Him) And the demons began to plead with Him, (BEGGING, FOR MERCY) saying, “If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.” (Be of sober  spirit , be watchful.

9.21.24 Matthew 8:23-27  And when He got into the boat,  His disciples followed Him. And behold, there arose a great storm  (obstacles, oppression, evil, wicked, foolishness) on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves;  (Losing hope, faith, trust, belief) but Jesus Himself was sleeping. (Being Tested,  Show yourself, APPROVED) And they came to Him and got Him up, saying,  “Save us, Lord; we are perishing!”  (Drowning in Despair,   Last Shred of Hope) And He *said to them, (NOTE: HOW THE LORD RESPONDS!!!)  “Why are you so cowardly, (BOOM!!! DON'T GET YOUR FEELINGS HURT, HE'S JUST IN HIS SAYING!!!) you men of little faith?” (MHM, SOME MORE TRUTH!!!) Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.  (ALL IS GOOD ALL ALONG, PREPLANNED, HE KNEW A STORM WAS BREWING AND DEMANDED THEY GET ON THE BOAT ANYHOW!!!) And the men marveled, and said, “What kind of a man is this,  (PAY ATTENTION) "that even " the winds  and the sea  ...
