Riding the wind with those who are to come soon
11/08/2007
Joel Akin
You won’t find this one in scripture but imagine God wanted us to fly? You would say we will. Only when I say fly I don’t mean in Heaven but here on earth?
It is something God said to me a few times and it is a promise God gave me. To fly.
To fly is the gift of God to a man who has no wings. I am not an angel nor am I a sinner. I am just a man. I overcame sin with the help of Christ and God. I don’t sin but I have a nature of sin.
My nature of sin is what holds me down. I call it the weight which accesses me. It is the dark side of the force. It is the hurt that rides inside like a spiritual worm. That is sin spirit.
Now there are good things on the way. It is a time of rejoicing. It is a time when God will ride the wind. He will carry me into the story of life. We will ride it into the whirl of the wind. We will carry a song to men. We will write it inside of me where I belong.
Of course that is the Lord but what if God is in each of us? What if God gave us a gift of life? What if life is the give of hope and the dream of life forever? It is the give of man to life and the give of hope to each person on earth. It is the tree of life. It is the give of life in that tree.
If I had tree of life for supper it was in the joke God wrote out in the flesh. He said “All flesh is grass” and in that was the secret to life. Job said “I shall see him who is God in the flesh” and Jesus came and became flesh and dwelt among us.
Only in the garden flesh was a bad word. Only with Paul and with men of old flesh was a bad word.
So flesh became the will of sin in our nature. It is the war I face each day. Only it is a war which none of you face. Not in the same way.
Now I am one man fighting with the father to fight with sin. I fight sin not God. I fight with God in the sense God brings me into the war when I pray. I fight with word and with effect. I fight with affect as in life also. I fight with sea and with son of God. Only son is son if it is spoken of by a friend.
God sees me as a friend. He sees me as a man who learns. He sees me as one who finds a way to learn what is and isn’t right.
So if I can learn it is to see with hope. I have this idea on software which I hope God will help address. It is a quiet labor of life but in the day it is bought is the day you can rest. So that is the answer to that.
Just imagine God could help us in the most mundane things in life. Imagine God going slowly crazy as we asked “God, can I use the bathroom?” Of course it is a joke but a sorry one for the world is filled with people who can’t decide if its okay to go when God is praying to them in prayer. After all if I pray and use the bathroom that is my business. If I pray over ‘Can I” God doesn’t wish to be involved unless we are having a problem.
So here is the quiz for you who want to know the answer to life. If the tree of life is the Asparagus what was the tree of knowledge of good and evil?
If you can answer then write and tell me for the answer isn’t what you think.
