Summer's Deed (God)

it is a massive endeavor
one not counted
by man

it's a slow process
an even one
smooth and precise
hackit and jibbery
but on-going

a turn around
back and forth
rocking
steady and smooth

'why' you ask 'must this be?'
or maybe 'it'll never happen'
'that it's just the natural
movement of the Earth'
or 'science already proved
there is no god'

let Me†, the Lord Almighty†
enlighten you
to the prospects of Me†, Myself†

I† give notice
all around the Earth
but you don't take notice
you are so cofounded
in Earth, itself
that you fail to see
what can't be explained
by man, himself

you pass by Me† every day
but you cofounded yourself
to man's idea of Me†
or no idea at all

I† am

the energetic way
in which man implores Me†
is amusing
you, man, have no idea
of Me†

some do
some understand My† Power
very few do

I† am He†, the Mighty One†
who moves you
like the stars above you
each having a place
none are out of place
living their Life
as I† deemed
until its time to undeem

the architect of all things
I† implore them
all things
for My† reasons alone

man has a way
with himself
to enginicate himself
into trying to outdo Me†
he can't
but he tries
at the same time
denying My† existence

how uncanny of him!

I† am

[Then He led me to 2 Chronicles 15:1-7: The Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded. He went out to meet Asa and said to him, 'Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you and you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach and without the law. But in their distress, they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought Him, and He was found by them. In those days, it was not safe to travel about, for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil. One nation was being crushed by another and one city by another, because God was troubling them with every kind of distress. But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.']

do you not understand
the Words already written?

or are you still like your forefathers
stiff-necked
like peas in a bowl
denying the Truth
and seeking to fit in
a world that doesn't belong
to you?

I† am, there is no other

'your Wickedness has awakened Me†'

they say

but what they do not know
is that I† am always

those who forsake Me†
those who deny the One I† sent
have made a choice
not to live

I† am not the god of the dead
they have chosen
hence they do not see Me†
nor know Me†
I† have turned My† back to them
nation or people
it does not matter

false is false
a choice is made

True hearts I† see
I† am aware of their struggle
for I† put them in Struggle
I† brought Struggle to them

'why?' you ask

for I† am the Lord†, your God†
being a father to My† children
discipline in accordance
with the thoughts of their hearts

how worthy are you?

as you test Me†
so shall I† test you

those who know Me†
but not fully

those who know Me†
fully

I† am

I† seek the Need of Me†
always

I† Want your full Understanding
your full Dependence
your full Alliance

your Understanding means nothing
without Me†
but it is a will
to rely on Me†

[Then He led me to Lamentations 1:7-22. He said to include them here:

In the days of her affliction and wandering, Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into enemy hands, there was no one to help her. Her enemies looked at her and laughed at her destruction. Jerusalem has sinned greatly and so has become unclean. All who honored her, despised her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns away. Her filthiness clung to her skirts; she did not consider her future. Her fall was astounding; there was none to comfort her. 'Look, O Lord, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed.' The enemy laid hands on all her treasures; she saw pagan nations enter her sanctuary—those You had forbidden to enter Your assembly. All her people groan as they search for bread; they barter their treasures for food to keep themselves alive. 'Look, O Lord, and consider for I am despised.'—Lamentations 1:7-11

Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see. Is any suffering like my suffering that was inflicted on me, that the Lord brought on me in the day of His fierce anger?' 'From on high He sent fire, sent it down into my bones. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate, faint all the day long. My sins have been bound into a yoke; by His hands they were woven together. They have come upon my neck and the Lord has sapped my strength. He has handed me over to those I cannot withstand. The Lord has rejected all the warriors in my midst; He has summoned an army against me to crush my young men. In His winepress, the Lord has trampled the Virgin Daughter of Judah. This is why I weep and my eyes overflow with tears. No one is near to comfort me, no one to restore my spirit. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed. Zion stretches out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her. The Lord has decreed for Jacob that his neighbors become his foes; Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.'—Laminations 1:12-17

'The Lord is righteous, yet, I rebelled against His command. Listen, all you peoples; look upon my suffering. My young men and maidens have gone into exile. I called to my allies, but they betrayed me. My priests and my elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive. See, O Lord, how distressed I am! I am in torment within, and in my heart I am disturbed, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is only death. People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my distress; they rejoice at what You have done. May You bring the day You have announced so they may become like me.'—Lamentations 1:18-22]

I† did what I† said I† would do
I† caused it
you see an enemy
I† see discipline
to save all who are Mine†

you stumble
for the words of man
created Confusion among men

are you sure it wasn't Me?

who told you it wasn't the Lord† 
creating the Confusion?

I† am all things

you brought the Confusion
for I† gave what you asked for
I† was honorable

why weren't you?

now, what you asked for
has been set upon you
now, Confusion rules you

will you be able to tell
the difference
between I and Confusion?

who is Confusion?

will you be able to tell
between My† house and satan's?

or is satan from My† house?

if you know the answer
then why are you teaching
the opposite?

now, you have to live
what you asked for

so sentimental yet so naïve
you won't have to pay the price
of your prostitution
those generations after you
will

cry 'O nations
for the boundaries are in place
the draw line snapped
the points placed
for the horses and chariots
have their orders

I† will depart as the tens
make their final tribute
to the nines' resting place

hundreds will follow
a dark blankness
without Light

but don't worry careless ones
I† will return
to a gentle, hungry generation
and fill them up
they will rediscover Me†
and My† Son† will cover them
and they will hunger no more

so says the Lord Almighty God†

[He led me to 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 through 1 Corinthians 2:14-16 and told to include them here: 

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yeshuah, the Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, 'I follow Paul'; another, 'I follow Apollos'; another, 'I follow Cephas'; still another, 'I follow the Christ.' Is the Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul? I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) For the Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel―not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of the Christ be emptied of its power.'—1 Corinthians 1:10-17

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate' [Isaiah 29:14]. Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach the Christ crucified; a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, the Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.―1 Corinthians 1:18-25

Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble births. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things―and the things that are not―to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before Him. It is because of Him that you are in the Christ, Yeshuah, who has become for us wisdom from God―that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: 'Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord' [Jeremiah 9:24].―1 Corinthians 1:26-31

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Yeshuah, the Christ, and Him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.―1 Corinthians 2:1-5

We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him' [Isaiah 64:4]―but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.―1 Corinthians 2:6-13

The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he, himself, is not subject to any man's judgment: 'For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?' But we have the mind of the Christ [Isaiah 40:13].―1 Corinthians 2:14-16]
