GOD’S EDITORIALS

IN MY SERVANT'S PRESENT HOME
THERE IS A PICTURE OF ME HOLDING A SMALL CHILD
UPON MY LAP AND SHOWING THE CHILD A SMALL BUTTERFLY
UPON THE TIP OF MY FINGER

EACH DAY, I START THE DAY WITH THE WORDS TO MY SERVANT
"LET ME SHOW YOU . . ."
AND EACH DAY PROGRESSES NEVER ONE LIKE ANOTHER
ALWAYS NEW ADVENTURES
ALWAYS PURE LOVE FROM ME
ALWAYS MY EMBRACE ABOUT HER
AND YET, EACH DAY HER EYES ARE OPENED MORE AND MORE
TO MY KINGDOM
TO ME
AND WE LIVE THIS KIND OF LIFESTYLE
COMPLETELY APART FROM THE CHURCHES OF THIS DAY

THINK OF IT THIS WAY
WHAT IF THERE WAS A CLASS OFFERED
AT YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY CENTER
IT WAS A CLASS WHERE YOU WOULD PAINT A PICTURE
THE WAY THAT THE BROCHURE WAS WRITTEN AND PRESENTED
YOU JUST KNEW THAT YOU WANTED TO ATTEND
SO YOU SIGN UP
AND THE FIRST DAY YOU COME PREPARED - PERFECTLY
WITH EVERYTHING ON THE LIST
YOU LINE UP WITH EVERYONE ELSE
AND WALK BRISKLY INTO THE BUILDING
YOU FIND AN EMPTY SEAT AND THE TEACHER
PULLS DOWN THE SCREEN
THE LIGHTS DIM JUST A LITTLE AND THE PROJECTOR BEGINS
TO QUICKLY UNFOLD THE FINISHED PRODUCT
BUT INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU EXPECT
IT IS A HUGE PAINT-BY-NUMBER PICTURE
FOR WHICH YOU ARE TO COPY EXACTLY AS EVERYONE ELSE
IN THE ROOM

TELL ME PEOPLE
HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT THAN A PASTOR
THAT GETS UP BEFORE THE CONGREGATION
AND READS MY WORD AND TELLS YOU WHAT IT MEANS
AND YOU ARE TO FILL IN THOSE AREAS IN YOUR LIFE
EXACTLY AS HE SAYS
EXACTLY AS EVERYONE ELSE DOES IN THE ROOM

AND WHAT IS THE RESULT?
CLONED PEOPLE ATTEMPTING TO PROVE TO THE WORLD
THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT
THAN ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS
THEY HAVE NOTHING
BUT A PAINT-BY-NUMBER PICTURE
TWO-DIMENSIONAL
THAT WON'T IMPRESS ANYONE
IT'S SAD
BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT

THERE IS A DIFFERENT WAY
I WILL OPEN
THE HOUSE OF THE LIVING WATERS
AND THE PEOPLE WILL COME
AND THEY WILL EACH LISTEN TO ME IN THEIR SPIRITS
AND RESPOND ONLY TO ME
I WILL BE THEIR TEACHER BY MY SPIRIT
AND I WILL GUIDE THEM AND CORRECT THEM
AND INSPIRE THEM AND LOVE THEM
AND THEY WILL BECOME
MY MASTERPIECES
NOT ONE LIKE ANOTHER
NOT ONE A COPY IN ANY AREA
NOT ONE WITHOUT A TRUE IDENTITY AND A SPECIAL NAME
NOT ONE ALIKE
ALL SPECIAL AND UNIQUE
ALL JUST A SINGLE CHILD UPON MY LAP LEARNING ALL
THAT I CHOOSE TO TEACH
JUST A ONE-ON-ONE ADVANCE

"LET ME SHOW YOU"
I BEGIN EACH DAY WITH MY SERVANT
AND WE CAN START CLASSES, TOO
YOU AND I

BUT YOU MUST KNOW THAT THERE ARE RISKS
FOR AS YOU RECEIVE MORE OF MY KINGDOM WITHIN YOU
YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP MUCH OF THE EARTHLY

I SHOWED MY SERVANT
A VISION LAST NIGHT TO ILLUSTRATE
HER WORK WITH A YOUNG MAN OF RECENT
THEY BOTH WALKED INTO A CAVE-LIKE ROOM
WELL-LIT WITH MANY, MANY BOOKS
ON SHELVES LINING THE WALLS

MY SERVANT LOOKED AT THE BOOKS AND KNEW THAT
SHE LEARNED BEST WITH A HAND-IN-HAND APPROACH
SHE SAW ME WAITING AT AN OPENED DOOR
AT THE OTHER END OF THE ROOM
SHE ASKED THE YOUNG MAN IF HE WOULD LIKE TO COME
BUT HE SIMPLY SMILED AND SAID THAT HE WAS QUITE CONTENT
TO STAY IN THE "BOOK ROOM" AND STUDY
IT'S ALL THAT HE WANTED AND NEEDED, HE THOUGHT
(10 YEARS LATER . . . THIS YOUNG PASTOR HAS COMPLETELY FALLEN AWAY)
MY SERVANT GRABBED HOLD OF MY HAND
AND WE LEFT THE YOUNG MAN IN THE STUDY
AND PROGRESSED DOWN A LONG DARK HALLWAY
MY SERVANT COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING
SHE WAS ONLY LED BY THE TOUCH OF MY HAND
BUT WE PROGRESSED INTO A HUGE BALLROOM
THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE DANCING AND SINGING
MY POWER AND PRESENCE WERE MOVING AMONG THEM
AND THEY RESPONDED IN PURITY AND EMOTION
THIS WAS TRULY A PARTY OF THE SPIRIT
AND I WAS THE HOST

I INVITE ALL TO THIS PARTY
BUT MOST WOULD RATHER STAY
WHERE THEY CAN CONTROL WHAT THEY LEARN
WITH BOOKS OF THE BIBLE
THEY ARE IN PERFECT CONTROL FOR THEIR MINDS DICTATE
HOW MUCH THEY CAN PROGRESS INTO THE HEAVENLIES
AS I TOLD MY SERVANT THE OTHER DAY
"THE PEOPLE CAN SPEND ALL THEIR TIME
‘WALKING THROUGH THE BIBLE'
OR THEY CAN SOAR IN THE HEAVENLIES"

IF YOU STAY IN THE BIBLE
HOW ARE YOU ANY DIFFERENT THAN OTHER RELIGIONS?
YOU READ AND YOU STUDY
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE MY VOICE IN YOUR SPIRIT
YOU DON'T HAVE MY COMPANIONSHIP
YOU DON'T HAVE MY POWER OR MY LIGHT
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE THIS LOST WORLD
BUT A TWO-DIMENSIONAL PAINT-BY-NUMBER PICTURE
THAT ISN'T EVEN WORTH FRAMING

DO YOU WANT TO COME WITH ME
DOWN THE DARK HALLWAY INTO THE UNKNOWN
OR
JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE AT
AND CONTINUE TO BE TAUGHT BY MAN
AND BE OF LITTLE USE?

LET ME SHOW YOU ONE MORE THING . . .
LAST NIGHT I GAVE A DREAM TO MY SERVANT
SHE ATTENDED A CHURCH OF OLD
FOR WHICH SHE WAS ASKED TO LEAVE LONG AGO
WITHOUT HESITATION
WHEN SHE WAS IDENTIFIED AND ASKED TO LEAVE AGAIN
SHE LEFT AND WALKED OVER A SMALL HILLSIDE
AND DISCOVERED WHAT LOOKED TO BE A LARGE TREE HOUSE
SHE CLIMBED UP AND SAT UPON A SMALL SWING
RESTING AND THINKING
OF HOW NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN THE 6 YEARS
SINCE SHE WAS FIRST
ASKED TO LEAVE THE CHURCHES

SUDDENLY A GREAT NOISE THUNDERED
FROM THE TOP OF THE TREE HOUSE
SHE SAT FROZEN IN PLACE
NOT KNOWING WHAT THE NOISE WAS AND IF
THE AFFECTS WOULD TOUCH HER
A MAN JUMPS OUT FROM THE TOP OF THE TREE HOUSE
AND ASKS HER IF SHE WOULD LIKE TO SWING UPON THE SWING
HE SAID THAT HE WOULD GIVE HER A PUSH
SHE AGREED, ALREADY CALCULATING HOW FAR
SHE THOUGHT THIS LITTLE SWING COULD GO
SHE DIDN'T LIKE "HEIGHTS" THAT MUCH,
BUT SHE FIGURED THAT THE SWING
COULD NOT GO FARTHER THAN HER CONFIDENCE
THE MAN GRABBED HOLD OF THE SWING AND WITH ONE PUSH
SENT HER FLYING INTO THE GREAT UNKNOWN
IT WAS AS IF THE SWING WAS ON STRETCHING CORDS
FOR IT EXTENDED WAY BEYOND HER IMAGINATION
SHE LOVED THE SIGHTS AND FELT SECURE IN HER SWING
THE SWING WENT OUT AND OUT AND OUT
IT CIRCLED THE SMALL TREE HOUSE MANY TIMES
BEFORE COMING TO A STOP
JUST WHEN IT RESTED IN PLACE
THE PEOPLE FROM THE CHURCH BEGAN TO WALK BY
THEY TALKED TO EACH OTHER AND HELD
THEIR BIBLES TIGHTLY AGAINST THEM
SHE LOOKED AT THEM ONCE
AND DECIDED THAT SHE WOULD RATHER LOOK
TO WHERE THE SWING WOULD TAKE HER NEXT
SHE SPOKE NOT A WORD TO THOSE WHO WALKED BY
AND SHE HOPED THAT THEY WOULD NOT NOTICE HER
FOR HOW COULD SHE EVER EXPLAIN HER EXPERIENCE TO THEM?
A LITTLE SMILE CAME UPON HER FACE WHEN THE MAN APPROACHED
TO ASK HER AGAIN IF SHE WANTED A LITTLE PUSH
THIS TIME HE DIDN'T HAVE TO ASK
AND SHE DIDN'T NEED TO ANSWER
FOR YOU SEE
SHE WAS MEANT TO FLY
IN UTTER DELIGHT INTO MY KINGDOM
WITHOUT THE RESTRAINTS OF WORDS WRITTEN
AND INTERPRETED BY THE MIND
FOR YOU SEE
MY SYSTEM IS "FOOL-PROOF"
I WRITE MY LAWS UPON THE HEARTS OF THOSE
WHO ARE TRULY MINE
THEY DON'T HAVE TO CARRY A BOOK WITH THEM
OR AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THEIR PAINT-BY-NUMBER LIVES
JUST ME WITHIN THEM
"THE SWING-MAN"

LET ME GIVE YOU
A LITTLE PUSH PEOPLE INTO MY REALM
INTO THE SUPERNATURAL
YOU WILL BE SECURE IN THE SMALL SWING
AND ALWAYS UNDER MY WATCHFUL EYE
COME AND JOIN MY SERVANT
SHE LOOKS AND STILL LONGS FOR "FAMILY"
AND THAT WILL COME IN TIME

FIRST, WE WENT TO THE CHURCHES
IN HOPE OF FINDING THOSE WHO WANT TO SOAR
BUT THERE WERE
NONE

NOW, SHE WILL SIMPLY SWING
AND I WILL BRING THE INTERESTED SPECTATORS TO HER
NOT A WORD IN ENGLISH SHE WILL HAVE TO UTTER
JUST A RIDE UPON THE SWING SHE WILL OFFER WITH A LOOK
A LOOK BEYOND THIS WORLD

DON'T BE A PAINT-BY-NUMBER CLONED CHRISTIAN
COME WITH ME
BE WITH ME
I WILL SPEAK TO YOU
I WILL MAKE YOU MY OWN
AND
A MASTERPIECE
YOU WILL BE IN MY CREATION
NOT LIKE ONE OTHER ON THIS EARTH
BUT PERFECTLY WHAT I DESIGNED FOR YOU TO BE

THINK ABOUT IT
AND THEN WHEN YOUR THOUGHTS HOLD YOU BACK FROM
WALKING DOWN THE LONG, DARK HALLWAY HOLDING MY HAND
OR KEEPS YOU FROM GETTING ON THE SWING
LISTEN TO THE SMALL CHILD WITHIN YOU
THAT LONGS TO SIT UPON MY LAP
AND HEAR ME SAY EACH DAY
AS I SAY TO MY SERVANT,

"LET ME SHOW YOU"

READY?
