Mk. 1:40-41 And a leper came to Him, begging Him on his knees and saying to Him, If You are willing, You are able to make me clean. And being moved with pity and sympathy, Jesus reached out His hand and touched him, and said to him, I am WILLING; be made clean!
Jesus didn’t come so we’d know that GOD was able. He came so we’d know GOD is WILLING! The revelation of GOD never stops at His Abilities.
Jesus IS GOD WILLING!!

JUSTICE is at the heart of America’s founding and what it stands for. From our beginning lives have been stressed, given, and taken, in the effort to secure JUSTICE. It’s a huge topic involving a cross-section of Religion, Ethics, Philosophy, & Law. And there are several subsets of the application of Justice, the most common of which are:
- Distributive Justice—Fairness in Economics
- Procedural Justice—Fairness in Process
- Restorative Justice—Fairness in Restitution
- Retributive Justice—Fairness in Punishment
Since the murder of George Floyd, and all the protests, violence, and destruction that followed in response, we have heard endless commentary and accusation in an effort to explain what Justice is, and who’s at fault when it fails. But GOD has expressed an underlying context in which JUSTICE, in all it’s forms and applications, must be understood for it to be the blessing to society He has intended for us. Here is His commentary on JUSTICE, why it fails, and how it’s restored…

"God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, an ever-present help in times of trouble." —Ps 46:1
THIS is a time of trouble…when Coronavirus has cast a long shadow of sickness, fear, and disruption over the whole world. Without elaborating on the bad news, we can simply say...
- Sickness is stalking populations,
- Fear is shutting down commerce and raiding the stock market
- Jobs and Industries are at risk
But there’s Good News in times of trouble...

"We do not see our signs; there is no longer any prophet, and there is none among us who knows how long." —Psa. 74:9
The absence of their signs was evidence Israel had drifted from GOD, lost His favor & Presence, and their unique identity among the nations. But hundreds of years later the promised Messiah came. And after the resurrection of Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit entered the world, and the NT Church was born with the supernatural Signs of GOD’s Presence flowing out from within it.

"We do not see our signs; there is no longer any prophet, and there is none among us who knows how long." —Psa. 74:9
Psalm 74 is a cry for the loss of Israel’s supernatural SIGNS of GOD’s Presence. The absence of their signs was evidence they had drifted away from GOD, and lost His favor, and unique identity among the nations. But hundreds of years later the promised Messiah came. And after the resurrection of Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit entered the world, and the NT Church was born with the supernatural Signs of GOD’s Presence flowing out from within it.

"We do not see OUR SIGNS; there is no longer any prophet, and there is none among us who knows how long." —Psa. 74:9
Psalm 74 cries out in agony over Israel’s loss of its SIGNS that Indicated God’s favor was with them. The absence of their signs was evidence that Israel had drifted away from GOD, losing His favor, and their unique identity among the nations. Hundreds of years later the promised Messiah came. And upon the resurrection of Jesus Christ the NT Church entered the world with the supernatural Signs of GOD’s Presence, not just accompanying it, but within it.

“Simon, Simon, pay attention! Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. When you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” —Luke 22:31-32
LORD Of My Rebound!
It is the ability to REBOUND from stumbles & sins that is the great secret to ultimate victory, for those who are a New Creation in Christ. God has engineered the New Creation to be resilient, constantly rising through the ups and downs of life.
GOD’s strategy in your life doesn’t depend on you never falling down, but on you never staying down. Ours is the grace to press victoriously though failures in life.
Proof of Jesus’ work of Redemption in you isn’t manifest in you never stumbling or failing at life’s tests. But He is glorified as Redeemer when He leads you triumphantly back to your feet. GOD is Keeping you, not so you’ll avoid trials, but so you’ll recover from them.

"I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus has laid hold of me and made me His own." —Phil. 3:12
Membership in the Body and moving with the Flock does not fulfill my call to personally follow Jesus. I can’t use the acceptance & approval of the Church as a substitute for my individual calling & responsibility to Jesus. I have a race to run, that I can’t complete just by being active in Church.
There’s an occupational hazard to church membership that I call: Group Faith. And some have substituted their individual pursuit & obedience to Jesus for it. Many Christians are parked in church, and not moving with GOD in their personal lives. Without an individual moving vision, and measurable spiritual objectives, their personal life with GOD is stalled out. The Body of Christ is not a Religious AutoTrain hauling parked souls through life. We are called to be Pathfinders & Trailblazers, not Settlers & Occupants. We are a cooperation of GOD-connected, internally-motivated, individual Jesus-followers, moving forward in the same purpose & direction.

Life is a puzzle box of 1000 pieces. You must find all your edge pieces and build your border before you start building the inside and seeing the Big Picture. That border is a proper definition of happiness that will define your life. So what is happiness?

Rev 22:1-5, 10-17 (read directly from KJV)
Rev. 22:10-13 And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.” “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
The River of Christianity began to flow in the earth, on the Day of Pentecost, directly from the Holy Spirit, with Holy Power and Perfect Purity. As that river has moved across the world, and down through the years, impure streams have fed into it from the world. Yet the Stream of GOD’s Presence & Word also continues to feed into the River of Christianity. And one day that River will return to GOD, to become the River of Rev. 22.
But before that happens GOD is going to purge out every impurity. And one is bound to ask, “Where in that process are we today?”

THE BLOOD COVENANT-1 “How Shall I Know?”
Gen. 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.”
Gen. 15:5 And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
Gen. 15:7 And he said to him, “I am the LORD who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess (inherit).”
Gen. 15:8 But he said, “O Lord GOD, how shall I know that I shall possess (inherit) it?”
Gen. 15:9 He said to him, “Bring me a heifer…”
Gen. 15:17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.
Gen. 15:18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, SAYING, “To your offspring I give this land…
