There is no escape, there is no heaven with a little of hell in it,
no plan to retain this or that of the devil in our hearts or pockets.
Out Satan must go every hair and feather.
George MacDonald
1824 - 1905
Remembering my childhood days, it was the Appleyards, what today would be called a family soap and other equally bland children's programmes. Then off went the set, no adult viewing allowed. No such thing as a television in the bedroom. Now the overwhelming control over lives is self evident in a morally corrupt generation. Youth so totally disenfranchised and miserable, their self esteem at zero and it is at that juncture the drug dealer and cosmetic surgeons make their pile, their victims include anorexics who start their journey of self mutilation to look like their favourite celebrity.
TIME TO BREAK THE SET - Abby Martin style.
My journey began when I noticed a book called "The Cross and the Switchblade" an autobiography of David Wilkerson, a true man of God and then pastor of the Times Square Church in New York.
Early in his ministry in a safe country church his restless spirit led him to petition the Lord and the end result was God's workshop. The streets of the most undesirable districts of New York amongst the gangs, drug dealers and prostitutes. Feral kids already in their own kind of hell.
No one could read this book and not be stunned at his total commitment and sheer guts in the face of overwhelming degradation and poverty.
He put his last blog on the internet the day he was killed. I say "killed" because this is the second Christian I believe was taken out. He spoke the Truth. Thankfully his teaching is still available on u.tube and a precious gift for those with access to the internet. GO THERE AND BE BLESSED.
In one particular video he suggested we get rid of the t.v. set - its a done deal David - but also instead of spending hour upon hour on the internet Christians seek the face of God. AGREED. But we also need to be aware that some Christians are following a really creepy Messiah and doctrine. There is ample evidence of false teaching. Watch and learn. Sadly someone is hell bent (that's the catch word) on taking out those who preach the Truth. Although perhaps God could just be saying "you've had your chances you've ignored My prophets, now await My Judgement, there are still a few men of God left and if you are walking with God and obeying His precepts you will know them. Pray protection over and around them they risk their very lives.
Exciting times. One engine search on C.S. Lewis led to George MacDonald, Scottish author, poet and Christian Minister another fascinating man of God who is quoted as saying "I write not for children, but for the child like whether they be five, or fifty or seventy. His fairy tale book Phantastes inspired C.S. Lewis - a pattern emerges from one internet page to another. The pen is surely mightier than the sword.
Matthew 18 - 3 - 5
Jesus said "assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children,
you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives me.
Perhaps if David Wilkerson, beloved of our Holy God, could read this simple blog page he would forgive me for keeping this one bit of modern technology. Without it I would not be able to study or learn from the wisdom of such men. David Wilkerson remain inspirational and lives on in the hearts of those who seek and speak HIS TRUTH.
