home sweet home

so, i made it home finally. good ole 4hrs drive from h-town, gettin back in at about 230am. good times. glad to be here. its going to be awesome. hard still, but sweet. folks is good, friends is good. whoop. yay for good talks with people you love. eat it up.

so i feel it necessary to explain a little of my last blog entry. those verses in that order is what i have felt in the last two weeks. there was a method to that list, i promise.

thinking a lot about spiritual warfare stuff recently. saw the trailer for constantine to the new keanu reeves movie, and wonder if it is like that to a degree. because obviously we don't see things with a spiritual perspective or else we'd act way different. so, the question becomes what does it look like? i was working outside today thinking about that. listening to demonhunter, i just this image of like packs of angels and demons roaming about the earth affecting the day to day workings of people's lives. the angels are enpowered by the will of God for the good of the saints and the elect (hebrews 1:14) and to bring answers to prayers (daniel 10:10-15). and i see them looking like the angel (Tyrael) from diablo II. i'll post a pic for yall. its def sweet looking though. just so cool sounding. i can see em warring in the streets because of our prayers and petitions. bustin out swords kinda like in underworld. for the purpose of keepin us safe, to bring the knowledge of the truth, and to give glory to our King. i guess i want to see with those spiritual eyes so i can see how to pray so that peoples lives are impacted and changed forever. so that Jesus' name will be spread and His Spirit will rock people's worlds. but it absolutely scares the junk outta me too yah know? cause after that, there ain't no going back. can't keep being selfish then, or pursuing my own pleasures, gotta run for Him. which is want i want inside, but the dead me that i keep holding on to skews my vision. and facing demons, man thats creepy. like that passage from jude about michael disputing over moses body. that'd be a scary thing. but you suit up everyday and you be aight. ephesians 6 baby, you all know it, but that stuffs fo real. ain't nothing figurative about that, you need to put it on. we talk about it in this semi-real aspect and we make some small time comment about praying being at the end of the list. and then nothing happens. this ain't no joking about small time list yo. this is the real deal. like, we should be throwing this stuff down. or else we'll be hurting for certain and not being effective for the kingdom. cause its spreading, with or without us, but i want to be apart of it. so i'll prolly go see constantine for that reason, even though i'm sure theologically i'm not going to buy a lot of it, but just for the reminder yah dig?

sweet action. aight heres your quote from the demonhunter song i was listenin to. peace.


Artist: Demon Hunter
Album: Summer Of Darkness
Song:Less Than Nothing

I suffocate.
Reality is tearing my life away.
All in vain.
I'm taking my pride into the grave.

What a fine line we walk with our eyes closed.
Giving our worst as first like we don't know.
Burning my way through life with a vengeance
Giving my weight in hate until the neck bends
Tearing out every trace of emotion
Falling into this cell that you've opened
Hollow as all these faces around me
Feeling your fatal infection surround me.

CHORUS:
We all live in fear of something.
We all disappear like nothing.
We all live in fear of something.
We all equal less than nothing.

I suffocate.
I'm taking my life from first to last.
All this hate is dragging my face through broken glass.

How can we be so blind in the same light?
Covering all these scars that we can't hide.
Feeling my way through thorns of rejection.
Bleeding out all this filth of infection.

(CHORUS)

Nothing.
Nothing.
We're nothing.
Nothing.

finally a new post

2 corinthians 1:8 "For we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;"

nehemiah 8:10 "Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

exodus 14:14 "The LORD will fight for you while you keep silent."

romans 5:3-5 "Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."

matthew 22:36-40 "'Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" And He said to him, " 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

1 john 5:3-4 "For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith. "

jude 24-25 "Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. "

matthew 16:24-26 "Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"

hebrews 11:13-16 "All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them."

psalm 118:28 "You are my God, and I give thanks to You; You are my God, I extol You."

psalm 35:18 "I will give You thanks in the great congregation; I will praise You among a mighty throng."

2 corinthians 1:9-10 "indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,"
