I saw some Jehovah Witnesses today walking by on the sidewalk within a neighborhood. It is a Saturday morning, temperature was fair; good day for either yard work or even to sleep in. You may dread having one of these sects of people ringing your door bell before 10am on a weekend morning. 

You may dread hearing their faith, holding their Watchtower, listening to their religion being force fed into your stomach. These people may carry a god virtue within your conscience or a negative goad within your percipient. 

However, you cannot help but to notice this group of people convictions. It has been around 2000 years since such a cause was made to approach people one-on-one to win over their faith. Something a man name Jesus did many centuries ago started a movement within the human race. It had a ripple effect. 

First there’s a spark then there’s a fire. And the flames continue to burn. 

The light continues to carry a message; a meaning, a crisis. This is revolutionary and yet simple. It is genocide but yet has a style of reverence. It is pure and illuminating. 

These men on the sidewalk have been carrying the torch like in the Olympics, as through a race which has been going on for two millenniums.

THE FRUIT GARDEN: PATIENTLY A DAY


It touches our ears, the wind, which moves pass us to let us know life. It breaks through the silence; the emptiness within the voices of unwanted souls. There are those who are unloved, undesired, not attractive enough, and less important. Humans which seem to reflect the waste within humanity; is this possible?
Think about it for a moment, are there any humans who are not worth the precious gift of life? Is it conceivable, does anyone, but God, decides who are not worth living, loving…saving? The moments pass and another death enter through the gates of time. It could be a “John Doe”. How are we able to consider the concept of a “John Doe”, an unknown person? It could be a hungry child, an innocent life which bites the dust.

 They pass into the next life because this world did not think enough of them to feed them food. The mindset that Mother Nature does not provide enough food for all life form upon this Earth pompously wrong; yet and still people die of starvation, a hunger cry to hear another voice of one whom loves them. Perhaps another moment pass and another homeless elder finish their time upon this Earth, thus: it will not be my Mother or Dad. 

Who will be those unloved and forgotten soul, “Eleanor Rigby”, let’s make another Beatle’s hit. What does all of this jaguar have in common? What is the meaning of these thoughts? If we sit still for a moment and pause, carry our being into a higher level of conciseness, simply wait within the traffic of our days as a working class American; middle class parent, civilized citizen, a human being. If we pause for a moment within our daily lives and pray, we may touch far more than we can comprehend, further out than the areas of clouds. 

 Do we have the patience or capacity to connect this intimately with another human being? Not just a lover, but a stranger; not just a love one, but a neighbor, our emptiness within our community, can we feel them? Do we want too? Are we willing? Can we have the patience to touch someone afar daily simply through a prayer? Do we care enough to? Besides, if some of us did could that make a difference, cause a change, have a ripple effect? It would be interesting to simply try and find out.

The Fruit Garden; The Beautiful Fruit of Gentleness

THE FRUIT GARDEN: THE BEAUTIFUL FRUIT OF GENTLNESS
My wife says that she doesn’t have an ounce of grace in her body. She says this while she femininely moves so elegantly across the room. Her compassion and sensitive persona allows mercy and forgiveness to every person whom she meets. She is always able to see the problem within a story from another’s person’s perspective. My friend and one of my groomsmen in my wedding remember meeting my wife or girlfriend at the time and notice how beautifully she carried her charisma. He said, “She has a way as a way of daintily bouncing across the room when she walks.” Her overall personality is extremely gentle and this adds a quality of grace to her aura; although she does not seem to catch it within herself. It appears as a gentle breeze in the Spring months; a flower fragrance during the mating season, you may notice it as dead leaves dancing and tumbling through the Autumn era of life, snowflakes landing so ever gently upon your face. This type of characteristic is something like a proper key towards a certain melody, or a right musical instrument for a specific song. It gives the right mood or temperature within an atmosphere. Femininely it is notice as grace; masculine it is notice as balance. The good Lord has this nature of balance and grace. You can honor this in His name. It is beautiful. Gentleness is a fruit of God’s spirit.

DAY 1 History has revealed God evolving His being within humankind. Through the knowledge of the Bible, we can see God interaction with both individuals and nations. God’s Word was promised to Abraham to bring forth a nation of chosen people whom will have their own land and be a blessing to all other people whom look upon them. T

he 12tribes of Isreal were made which started the beginning of God’s promise. Then the Law was formd to elevate the conscience of humankind. After the death of Moses, the people of Israel were brought into a promise land. 

This answered the second part of God’s promise. However, God’s people rejected God for generations through generation. The people of Isreal rebelled against God’s authority. Where in the history of humans does God not fulfill His promise? God says that He will gather His people from all the corners of the Earth. 

Where are the people gathered together as God’s chosen people in one nation today; after they were shattered and broken into one remaining tribe of Judah? The Old Testiment looks unto the cross. We’re here in A.D. and we are looking back at the cross. God’s Word is spoken and revealed through His begotten son Jesus Christ. History has never ceased speaking. We, here in America, are God’s lost chosen people which are of the tribes of Isreal.

SPRINGTIME; THE REVIVAL SEASON OF LIFE  
It is strange how things die in life; some events, occasions, happenings, past & present episodes and personal affairs simple stop and come to an end. Sometimes these things are planned, and sometimes they are unexpected. Needless to say, it is inevitable- things in this sphere simply die. 

 The entire foundation of my web-site was lost through the reconstruction of my new site. I am not disappointed, like the return of birds to dally the new flowers my site is colorful and awesome. However, there are passages which I feel are important enough to revise. The series of The Fruit Garden pertaining to articles on each fruit of The Holy Spirit, this is something which I will take the time to rewrite. The history of the site is established. We are in Year Two. You may not see Day 1 through Day 4, but the weeks are continuing to grow. The entire nature of my web-site is to show a timeline of my journey as we (as a body) embrace the days of salvation. It is here for open record, public news and historical document of my ministry. The moral of the web-site is to show a beginning and current memory log of how life was revealed through the prophecy and testimony of Jesus Christ who lives as The Son of God. I am a witness to His revelation.

The Fruit Garden: Perserverance; The Root of Salvation

THE FRUIT GARDEN: PERSERVERANCE: THE ROOT OF SALVATION No one does a swan dive into falling in love with Jesus. They most likely fall awkwardly, clumsy, withheld, as stumbling over branches on the ground, and falling against their own effort. Without much grace; they fall down. 

They are usually within a frantic state of mind, likewise, to a victim, such as a woman, screaming hysterically as if she was being attacked. However, the reality of their state of being is quite antagonistic. It is actually ironic that they’re being saved from condemnation of hell. This factuality does not ease the beauty, love and joy of becoming a Christian. 

The nature is complex. The abrasiveness of the act reflects a human original sinful behavior; their natural state of humanity which is a desire to love their own sin. Learning how to untamed sinful habits, this is what appears awkward. The sin seems to be comfortable. The meaning behind this concept brings a solid and strong foundation to the building of one’s salvation; the root of why one fears God and wants to begin to carry their cross develops from this resistance. 

We are all called to work out our salvation with fear and tremble. (Reflection Philippians 2:12). It is the gospel and the testimony of Jesus Christ which establish our salvation whereby one receives a firm rock to stand on. “Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I (Apostle Paul) preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. 

Otherwise, you have believed in vain.” Corinthians 15: 1, 2 NIV It is base on this truth in life that one may become a Christian and become a fighter within their thoughts, emotions, environment, physical nature and worldly realms. They fight through perseverance with their entire soul and their lives straight into eternal light (eternity). This daily and lifetime battle reflects a battle and journey which the United States’ military only dream about. Through this transformation within one’s life, within our lives; we become as Sons of God, and daughters of Zion, to be brought higher into heavenly plains. 

We are exalted by The Holy Spirit, not of our own effort, which gives us the zeal to interact in this life here on Earth. This zeal is our fire. Through continuous perseverance we are saved and the light of salvation through The Holy Spirit burns within us. This is the art of God’s Hands within a Christian soul.

It for these reasons I speak with a voice within society, to make someone’s life a little more bearable.

 I write because God has blessed me with the gift to express myself eloquently through words, and to be able to express emotions, theology, socialites and spirituality.

 I am not blessed because I have earned a right to experience reality with a gift.

 I have grace, because Christ has fought hard and sovereignty given me an environment in my life to live throughout His Kingdom. It is for these reasons I am a human being whom able to put words here for you to read on paper…and I continue to write.

The Grass is Getting Greener- It is still growing; no matter what’s going on in our lives, or in the world around us, the grass will continue to grow, little by little. You may not notice it between hours, but it still grows. Likewise, Christ is still producing disciples; 12 original Tribes of Israel, 12 Gates to Heaven, 12 Apostles. 

 A Theme Poem: Traffic; Trains, Planes, Children marching- society amoung us speaks as we’re still a part of a bigger picture. His Words are eternal, yet still the same. Our form of communication may changee, but His Words are still the same. 

Days between conversations, seconds between thoughts & spoken language- Internet, Phone, Television & Radio, first there was S.O.S., and here we are today, still called to honor the Sabbath.

WHO IS SHEPHERD? WHY IN AMERICA?  


Where are the lost tribes of Israel? They are here in America. In the United States, we have all tongues, all races, all ethics, all nationality and every type of creed. Why do we feel that God would allow history to form in such a way? “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper’s nest.

 They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the people; nations will rally to him and his place of rest will be glorious. In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of sea.” Isaiah 11:6-11 Has God ever revealed a promise and been unfaithful to fulfill it? Has God address the issue of all nations being gathered to one land to seek Him and know His name? Was not this a promise of God? 

God is faithful. All His being is here to establish a glory which will never fade, and never pass away. “He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.” Isaiah 11:12 What does this mean to you? What does this mean to us as a people? Who are we when we look into the history of our ancestors? What does Jesus think when he looks down upon this nation? America, the U. S. A., do you feel that Jesus is please with us? Are we the riches nation of the world, yet poorest nation within our spirit?

 Did our ancestors fight and die for a noble cause? We are still able to make this a win-win conclusion within our history. Let us not be asleep within the journey of fate. Let our eyes open to see the victory which Jesus has over our salvation. Let us embrace the present miracle of our age. “Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem: ‘I remember the devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me through the desert, through a land not sown. Israel was holy to the Lord, the firstfruits of his harvest; all who devoured her were held guilty, and disaster overtook them’, declares the Lord. Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, all you clans of the house of Israel. This is what the Lord says: ‘What fault did your fathers find in me, that they strayed so far from me? 

They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves. They did not ask, ‘Where is the Lord, who brought us up out of Egypt and led us through the barren wilderness, through a land of desert and rifts, a land of drought and darkness, a land where no one travels and no one lives?’ I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruits and rich produce. But you came and defiled my land and made my inheritance detestable.” 

Jeremiah 2:3-6

Fruit Garden; Love-Eternal Water of Life

Fruit Garden: Love- Eternal Water of Life

As it is expressed, a picture is worth a thousand words; then the reality of love is as a video of a film being displayed. One must listen to the lyrics to appreciate the song, while the meaning of love engulfs the entire mood, feeling and idea expressed through the music. It is the type of instrument being played as well as the silence and pauses between each note. You cannot comprehend the meaning of love simply by giving it a definition. It is as water slipping through your hands, or grasping the wind whereby it moves in any direction, north and then east. 

Love is a fruit of the Holy Spirit which needed to be dramatically demonstrated for the human heart to embrace the meaning. A dying Son of God on a cross, while he is forgiving the world for the very act; this is God’s way of displaying love. It is important to realize that love cannot be grammatically understood. It expands pass logic and gives infinite perceptive beyond a mathematical language. Love is simply expressed and demonstrated through acts of human character and behavior. It is a discussion towards a mate; established through promise in wedding vows, then becomes the decision of commitment and sacrifices given as the courtship turns into marriage. This relationship then transpires into families. Love is without boundaries, yet, it can be bound and delineate through an existence of a living God. 

God is love and without Him there is no love. The best basic illustration of unconditional love within A safe, caring environment for growth and repentance is shown through the example of 12Steps programs & 12Steps meetings. AA, NA, OA, SA and other 12Steps Anonymous Meeting are pure examples of brotherly & sister-to-sister love. 
Here no one is turned down, no matter how ugly their sin may appear. There never given limits of grace, and members always are welcomed with open arms towards repentance. The fellowship in addition to following a personal program reveals a clear model of forgiveness plus spiritual principles which allows one nature to grow; thus allows love to continue to grow. It is because of pureness found in the program through Tradition Three, “The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using.” &amp; Tradition Five, “Each group has but one primary purpose- to carry the message to the addict who still suffers.” That love is able to survive and then grow. Love nurtures, protects and establish humility. It is reflected anytime these principles are revealed. It never fails, never dies, nor displays prideful character. It is an eternal emotion. <strong>(Reflection I Corinthians 13: 4-10)

Most process for growth has a beginning; a starting point which, step by step follows a procedure somewhat in an orderly fashion. However, when you write a business plan you start from a retospective or reverse pattern. 

You begin the plan from the end, the goal, as an end-game philosophy. Suppose God had this mindset when He spoke the words in the Book of Revelations. Suppose God made a business plan with His creation as the market product? 

Suppose God made an arragement with Satan to purchase His children with the price of His Son’s blood? 

Suppose God bargined a deal with humans to pay the price for their sins before they were overcharged in a debt growing on a pathway towards spiritual bankruptcy? 

Suppose our God is a wise business Creator? 

This would make a high-calling for the market of humankind’s salvation.
