‘Body and Soul’

Body and Soul

body breathe body
soul breathe soul
down you may go
up you may go
bodies stay put
souls continue to stroll

misconceptions reap
misinterpretations keep
‒truth always seeps
from carefully placed seams

on goes every soul
stays, stays every body
from dust he came
back to dust he remains
as the soul leaves
in desperate reprieve
or in salvation's gleam

don't be fooled
by a greedy man's tool

grace is given
grace is taken

life is in the light
life is in the night
for all time
belongs to God

test be test
rest is rest

stay to yourself
'til you feel best
then help those in unrest
help them return
keep them from being burned

mercy is given
when pain is taken

souls do matter
no matter
bodies in clatter

Notes: David picked these photographs out. I want to say it’s because of the daisy he sent me, but it’s not. It’s the image to the left of the sun. A baby. I tried to blow it up, but it doesn’t come out as clear. This frame is from October 8, 2019: Oil Spill Warning. There’s much more in this set then the darkened water. The baby, the half ring below it, which becomes really clear as the frames progress, and the old man, whom the baby turns into is quite amazing. God using technology to relay His messages. Powerful in itself. I’m not guessing here. David is telling me what God is saying in these photographs. This was way before I could actually hear God outside of the visions. In 2020, things did indeed change. I not only hear God but Jesus as well.

(September 16, 2021)—‘Body and Soul’ was written September 4. I wrote it then let it sit there. For today, when I needed it. 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 to 5:12-22. Those are the Scriptures I was led to. What Paul says here, what God says through Paul or rather Jesus says through Paul, is so powerful. It is plain and simple. Powerful.

We do go to a place after we are done here on Earth. Many try to tell you different. God rebukes them by the way. They are foolish…and some have degree upon degree…they are the foolish of the world. There IS a place and here on Earth, you are being tested in many ways from birth until death. And by ‘death‘, I mean when your body gives out…you don’t. Within the skin and bones of your body is a soul, a spirit…that which you think with, that which you feel with, that which you love with. There is a reason why no human on Earth can actually tell you from where love comes. That is because they are NOT the divine, they are humans. Love comes from the divine. It leaves no mark on the body that anyone can see. It does leave marks on the heart.

Love. The heart. No, no doctor can remove your heart and see the marks. Although many, many years ago…in ancient times, they actually removed each heart and weighed it. They knew that the heart contained these marks, they thought that by weighing them, they can tell how good or bad a person was. They were wrong. Only the Judge can see these marks…and they are there. And you, each person on the face of the Earth, will be held accountable for each thing you’ve done, good and bad.

The pit is a real place. A dreadful place. Think about that.

Jesus. My heart swells up when I hear Him. It over flows with tears when He reveals truth to me. ‘Trust me’, He says. I can’t deny Him.

Mercy. Do you understand what giving mercy means? It is doing something that, in every way, is the way of Jesus, but it’s the hardest thing to do. It is doing good and being taken advantage of because of that good, being used and abused because of that good…all to give mercy, even when you think that person you are giving mercy to doesn’t deserve it. Most of the time they don’t. But you give mercy anyway because God asked you to.

That makes the heart cry hard.

But we aren’t here on Earth to please those we give mercy to. We are NOT giving mercy for that person. We are returning the mercy God has given to us. God gives us everything. Have you ever asked Him what can you do for Him? I asked Him. He said, ‘Do.’ Giving mercy because He has given mercy to you is doing.

So when you think giving mercy is too hard, think of the mercy God gave to you. I know He gave me a lot of mercy. I committed all types of sin: lied, stole, sexual acts. But I always returned to Him and the last time I did, He put me to work and tested the shit out of me. He tested me so hard that eventually He laid His hand on me, made me a slave for Jesus!

Do you think that is easy? I can’t go backwards. I can’t have sex again unless I get married. Think about just that one…who will marry me without having sex first? Who is righteous enough for that in today’s world? I can’t even fathom it. And I cry. That’s just one thing the Lord put on me.

Why wouldn’t you want to be a slave for Jesus? I’d rather make the sacrifice on Earth and go to the kingdom then not and go to the pit instead. It’s always a choice. And the choice isn’t that hard…or so it seems.

Paul’s Prayer for Them—Now may our God and Father Himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May He strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all His holy ones.—1 Thessalonians 3:11-13

Exhortation To Chastity—Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you His Holy Spirit.—1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

*Exhortation Toward Love—Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. And in fact, you do love all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers, to do so more and more. Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.—1 Thessalonians 4:9-12

Nature of the Resurrection—Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him. According to the Lord’s own words, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.—1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Readiness For Second Coming—Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.—1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

Various Exhortations―Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else. Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit’s fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil.―1 Thessalonians 5:12-22
