Old Way - New Posts

The intent in 2009 was to continue to blog here. The first notice of this neglect was now. . .when I wanted to follow a friend's blog from the Phillipines and needed to log in with my Google account. Amazing how one can leave a path which came about as a choice at a moment in time. Good intentions did not keep me on the Google Blogger path.

I like the High Ways and Spirit-Wind Songs Title. I am not sure what seduced me into another "way" but my blogging days did not continue.

The options were, perhaps, too many. Zanga has been neglected due to other options. I had friends who were generally from the Northwest USA there. . . and learned a lot from them. I loved the diversity of talents and interests, and, for a time, interacted creatively with them. The kids baseball games and the father's travels and the mother's projects, including THE RED HAT SOCIETY, were included. One of the sons joined an internet outreach organization. Jan wrote about her travels. . . so many lovely friends I have neglected to interact with.

Enthusiasm about a new way is obviously a "come on" to me. I like the challenge of being able to interact with the global population.

I have a sense of responsibility to the rest of the world. One man said, "I am a debtor"! I feel the same way.

Yet, I do believe that these fresh starts with unfinished journeys recorded on so many "new ways" (Blog sites) says something about my personality.
I love the challenge of new opportunities to speak via keyboard digits. . .for a variety of reasons. Mostly, I have a story to share and a Person to tell about Who is the Lord over all the details of all of life globally. He will one day be revealed as the One to whom we all bow our knee and acknowledge Him as Lord, Jesus Christ.

The fact that He is Son of God, Savior of the world which God loves so much that He is not willing that any perish -- being forever estranged from Him for all eternity . . .that fact impacts me with a sense of responsibilty. I HAVE TO interact with everyone I possibly can.

Of course, the reality is this. I may be writing this with intent that thousands of people will be interested in reading this. . .but the truth is, I am talking to myself. This stagnent site has no followers.

I don't know the built in triggers which might animate the interaction again. . . but I realize my intention at the beginning. I wanted to honor Christ by talking about Him in a way that others would find Him as much a delight -- a Life within from which I am able to draw every supply for the ordinary circumstances of our days. We are called to be pastors of God's people and this requires gifts and skills which come from God through the Holy Spirit impartation to us. We are not able to do impossible things with our natural gifts and abilities. God must do those things through us. So, we begin with a New Creation identity in Jesus Christ -- a supernatural rebirthing! Then the empowering of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit gives the full range of equipment necessary for being a viable witness of the Resurrected Christ, now exalted at the right hand of the Father in heaven.

It is in this relationship with God that I found all the resources needed to fulfill the assignment of being a proclaimer for Christ. It is in my relationship with Jesus Christ that I have the new nature of God's Spirit inside this human container of my own person. I am linked, connected, or "joined to the Lord" and am one spirit/Spirit with Him.

As for this site and the neglect. It is the ambition to be all things to all people (as the Apostle Paul spoke of) -- that I might win some -- which probably motivates me to write blogs and post on so many sites. . . to start so many ways or paths to communicate.

Now the true test comes. Will I finish what I started? Why not post the same thing on all the sites each day and be done with it? Well, that would not be Kosher, would it. After all, each interaction is with a different audience. The interests are different. The motive for following the blogger is perhaps quite different on this Google Blogger Site than on Facebook.

How much time do I want to spend in virtual relationships? Or should I give over to only human interaction face-to-face?

Perhaps the real question is this: Is all this time really spent doing what lasts for all eternity -- doing what God is doing through me. Is He really asking me to allow His Spirit to be released through these moments or am I living in a dream work of no responses and no readers? If so, it is an eternal waste.

The things I do each moment must be worth Christ dying for.

Starting and not finishing is not good. The real need is for me to identify what is Life-giving and what is simply my babbling to myself.

We will see. The things that come from Christ within are fruitful and bear results. That which is from my own mind and aspirations is simply a waste of time. For there are millions yet to hear for the first time the Good News of God's lavish love being poured out by His Spirit -- the message of the Life, death and resurrection of God's Son, Jesus Christ, now exalted at the Father's right hand. . . living as Heaven's Intercessor -- the Go-Between for us all. . . so that we Live now and forever IN CHRIST JESUS! A supernatural gift to us all when we receive God's only way to know Him. . . through faith in Jesus Christ.

So, I started here. . . and perhaps I will keep this blog going again.

All my sites are clearly started with the intention to talk about Jesus and life in Him. . .

But I already know the way to God and live in Him daily. . . I don't need to write if no one is reading. Yet, the words are being heard by His heart. And I want to delight the Heart of God. . .

So I will keep "going" with my fingers as I tell the real story of what's happening in my life. . . it is this: Jesus Christ is Life and in Him is life's greatest joy and fulfillment. His purpose and intention for me are being fulfilled in the reaching out . . . through blogs and sites to leave behind a trail of truth and life for anyone to read and become enticed by the lavish love of Jesus made available to everyone.

This is new post #1 for 2011. Hopefully this is a Spirit-wind song from my heart. The Spirit of God blowing through our lives makes Jesus real to those who touch our lives . . . who read our blogs. He is as real as the keyboard my fingers are flying across.

He is spirit and life and His words give life to our human spirits so we live in the realm of the Kingdom of God. In this realm we engage the supernatural life in God. . . that which originates with God Himself.

What a great delight to be back on this old path of blogging. . . and not be confined to so many digits. Who can speak about Jesus and have a limit.

Oh, that is a subject for another blog. . . the power of Jesus' words. . . seems like there were really short statments that packed amazing power!
I need to be a student of His vocabulary and communication skills!!

On to tomorrow's post. . .
