Form follows function seems like a way to start off a story. I have tried numerous times to tell this story, but each time something was lacking. The story needs to keep you involved, whether its comedic or Intense drama, maybe the story show s ...an injustice that provokes you to an action. and turn you into saint on there Crusade . If an author is choosing to write non-fiction its pretty hard to compare to the imagination of a master of suspense like Stephen King. So my option's were to be a an accountant of insistences touched by the masters hand.. I will try to sugar coat some of the Character in my story for those with weak stomachs. I will be changing from first person to narrator so please be patient and I will warn ahead of time ..so try to keep up., starting out as natural man. and for future reference my explanation of natural man is from the time you are born and before you trust in and Believe thats Jesus paid the price for our sins by Dieing and being Resurrected. and by accepting him as your Savior for better or worse. Realizing that it is God that overtakes our Bodies and produces that Jesus seed through the Holy Spirit .explaining and directing all actions into his Glory...and how to Let Gods super be added to our natural this impossible with out the Aid of his Word " The sword of truth. I will try with Gods help clarify the difference between saved and sanctified.
My Story started thousands of years ago...according to some. . trying to keep in the natural it might be hard to explain Faith and predestination. so I will leave that part to the end start putting it factual to start from the eyes of a child. with out the aid of Gods wisdom. I was born February 12 1963 in Medicine Hat Alberta.. The son of Elizabeth laura Craig ., Betty to most and if she could of had it her way thats all it would of been , the biggest problems with having a big name was spelling it. Now mom could spell Betty and Craig but when she signed thing legal like: she would have to copy from a piece of paper she carried in her purse just so she would get it right. I just grew up hearing here correct people ! on the appropriate label that people were aloud to use. . I am not saying my Mom was dumb she could talk.
The truth of the matter was she was different than most mom's, I first had it explained to me by Archibald Arnold... uncle Archie to me. You see my aunt Helen married him and was the closest thing Father type person that treated me HONORABLY and I miss him. The problem with kids (Looking Back}is they just don't get it until its too late .. As parents our childhood seems so simple and understand things differently Now. Maybe it has to do as a kid there too much focus on self. As we grow older our focus matures with wisdom. It was King Solomon who was considered as one of the wisest men to have lived. He found that when he Built Empires of " Me's". .they they empty accomplishments. But he found more full fulfillment in the things that he created for other..If you want to check that out Read Ecclesiastes you see with the first three and a half chapter were devoted in serving self. and the emptiness it caused. That is why the Bible says there is a time for war. you see a King is responsible for his subjects, that is not archived by a King that is serving his self..Its easy to send subjects off to war if you don't care about them. When the Jewish Kings Served God it was a prerequisite that that King care about there servants. Making sure that there needs are met.. That was when the God or Israel created Mitspha.. basically as long as the King made sure that his subjects respected what God was doing in there life It was the Rule of YHWH.. There was never no need for War . In fact when The God of Israel showed his Favor it was suicide to challenge ..
Sorry its hard to keep this in the natural and explain Gods Favor or show you his Blessings. I used to blame God for a lot of things and as my uncle told me what happened to my Mom.. I began to start blaming him for things..the first thing was why my Mom was different !. . As uncle Archie told the story..I began to feel sorry for her..less angry thats another thing natural man has trouble with anger that and she was different...but still i never quite got the hole picture of the event that left her that way. Or did it ever make up for the Kids calling her the "Crazy Women that lived on the corner..
My First best friend Jimmy Ruff or so I thought and I have had a few Best Friends..but he was the first. He was also the first person to ever question the ability to Clean and by this I am saying he was right that Day when he pointed out the dirty dishes at the Dinner table..and thinking back I don't ever think that he ate at our place after that day. The whole idea was to right a book..hoping for different things. But one thing I want you to Know is God is the reason I am able to tell this story and to do so with perfect peace. True as I remembered my Uncle Archie the tears were swelling it just I love him so much....and I can hardly wait to see him again. Don't get me wrong these are tears of Joy. and on that Day I will see him Talking with Mark Fillip another Of Gods Worker that Gone to be with Jesus. Both of these men were sent by God for there part in this Battle against satan.....and each will be rewarded for there victories that live on through us used for Gods Glory
Well as in the book "The Gunslinger" of Stephen Kings at leased when I had read it at 18 was not a finished work. Nor do I claim to be a great writer. nothing in the pages that will follow should focus on anything that I may have done but Should focus on the Things that God has done in my Life for his Purpose as my Father before me, or the people satan has used against me.. and the things that God has Planned for Medicine Hat or MORE SO WHAT GOD HAS GOT PLANNED NEXT
In the mean time I will continue writhing and may God get Glorified through Jesus Name and Purpose amen

REVELATION 22
.
Nov 25 - Stir Up the Power
"Greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears....I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you.... For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind."(2 Timothy 1:4,6-7)
Dear Jerry,There are times when you know what God has called you to do, but you just don't feel you have the inner resources you need to do it. Somehow you've simply run dry. You know the Word says that "out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water" (John 7:38). But, during those times, you can't even find the creek bank, much less the river. The Word of God tells us how to handle those situations through a clear command: "Stir up the gift inside you." YOU stir YOURSELF up! Everything you need is already in you. Jesus put it there. Everything you'll ever need to accomplish what God has called you to do has been placed inside you by God Almighty. Faith is in there. Power is in there. Love is in there. Believe that. Speak it out. Say it to yourself now, right out loud: "In the Name of Jesus, I stir up the gift that's within me by faith. I'm stirring up my faith. I'm not going to wait until I feel stirred up. I'm stepping out by faith and expecting my feelings to follow! "I'm stirring up the love of God that's in me. I'm stirring up the power. I'm stirring up myself and running the devil out of my affairs. I'm stirring myself up in the Spirit of the living God! I AM stirred up!"
Scripture Study: 2 Timothy 1:1-8
King James 1611Revelation 22
1
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6
And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7
Behold, I come quickly: blessed i he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8
And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9
Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
10
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Revelation 22
A description of the heavenly state, under the figures of the water and the tree of life, and of the throne of God and the Lamb. (1-5) The truth and certain fulfilling of all the prophetic visions, The Holy Spirit, and the bride, the church, invite, and say, Come. (6-19) The closing blessing. (20,21)
Verses 1-5 All streams of earthly comfort are muddy; but these are clear, and refreshing. They give life, and preserve life, to those who drink of them, and thus they will flow for evermore. These point to the quickening and sanctifying influences of the Holy Spirit, as given to sinners through Christ. The Holy Spirit, proceeding from the Father and the Son, applies this salvation to our souls by his new-creating love and power. The trees of life are fed by the pure waters of the river that comes from the throne of God. The presence of God in heaven, is the health and happiness of the saints. This tree was an emblem of Christ, and of all the blessings of his salvation; and the leaves for the healing of the nations, mean that his favour and presence supply all good to the inhabitants of that blessed world. The devil has no power there; he cannot draw the saints from serving God, nor can he disturb them in the service of God. God and the Lamb are here spoken of as one. Service there shall be not only freedom, but honour and dominion. There will be no night; no affliction or dejection, no pause in service or enjoyment: no diversions or pleasures or man's inventing will there be wanted. How different all this from gross and merely human views of heavenly happiness, even those which refer to pleasures of the mind!
Verses 6-19 The Lord Jesus spake by the angel, solemnly confirming the contents of this book, particularly of this last vision. He is the Lord God faithful and true. Also by his messengers; the holy angels showed them to holy men of God. They are things that must shortly be done; Christ will come quickly, and put all things out of doubt. And by the integrity of that angel who had been the apostle's interpreter. He refused to accept religious worship from John, and reproved him for offering it. This presents another testimony against idolatrous worship of saints and angels. God calls every one to witness to the declarations here made. This book, thus kept open, will have effect upon men; the filthy and unjust will be more so, but it will confirm, strengthen, and further sanctify those who are upright with God. Never let us think that a dead or disobedient faith will save us, for the First and the Last has declared that those alone are blessed who do his commandments. It is a book that shuts out form heaven all wicked and unrighteous persons, particularly those who love and make lies, therefore cannot itself be a lie. There is no middle place or condition. Jesus, who is the Spirit of prophecy, has given his churches this morning-light of prophecy, to assure them of the light of the perfect day approaching. All is confirmed by an open and general invitation to mankind, to come and partake freely of the promises and of the privileges of the gospel. The Spirit, by the sacred word, and by convictions and influence in the sinner's conscience, says, Come to Christ for salvation; and the bride, or the whole church, on earth and in heaven, says, Come and share our happiness. Lest any should hesitate, it is added, Let whosoever will, or, is willing, come and take of the water of life freely. May every one who hears or reads these words, desire at once to accept the gracious invitation. All are condemned who should dare to corrupt or change the word of God, either by adding to it, or taking from it.
Verses 20-21 After discovering these things to his people on earth, Christ seems to take leave of them, and return to heaven; but he assures them it shall not be long before he comes again. And while we are busy in the duties of our different stations of life; whatever labours may try us, whatever difficulties may surround us, whatever sorrows may press us down, let us with pleasure hear our Lord proclaiming, Behold, I come quickly; I come to put an end to the labour and suffering of my servants. I come, and my reward of grace is with me, to recompense, with royal bounty, every work of faith and labour of love. I come to receive my faithful, persevering people to myself, to dwell for ever in that blissful world. Amen, even so, come, Lord Jesus. A blessing closes the whole. By the grace of Christ we must be kept in joyful expectation of his glory, fitted for it, and preserved to it; and his glorious appearance will be joyful to those who partake of his grace and favour here. Let all add, Amen. Let us earnestly thirst after greater measures of the gracious influences of the blessed Jesus in our souls, and his gracious presence with us, till glory has made perfect his grace toward us. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
