Beginning from the End

Luke 9:23  "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."

Have you ever been infected with a feverous love of God? It is unmeasured to life itself. It is a supernatural disorder to the world's definition of love. It is so out of the ordinary that it gives humor to pain.   In the mist of all the trials and tribulations, God's love separates us from the fear of death.

I have always believed that you could never love God too much. I believe that this measure of glory is the dwelling place for souls that love God above all things. The passion that Christ has given us is a light that refuses to dim down and keep still.

Today Purple Ark Ministries is being used as a funnel to pour Christ into the poverty of our communities. This campaign for souls has allowed many to bring their sins to the end of the cross.

This devotional is about “Beginning from the End”. In our search for glorification, we come to the cross for redemption and salvation. This end of the cross as an altar before God is reflected in the book of Exodus, it implies that the altar is a place where we come to the end of our selves and the spirtual relationship with God begins.  The scriptures says that God did not dwell in the altar, but within the ark where the throne of grace is.

The point of the altar or the cross is to lead us into the heavenly realm that we would be at one with God in the Spirit and in His glory.

Many of us have reached the altar, but continue to hold on to the world.  The question that we must ask ourselves is, have we come to the end of ourselves.  Are we now ready carry the cross, are we ready go into desert places?  Are we ready bring new souls to the altar for Christ redemption? 

In conclusion, we must become infected with a love that denies all for the Glory of God.  What are you will to sacrifice for the Kingdom building.  There is more of God waiting for us beyond the altar!  At the end you will find a new beginning.

"Flu of Love"

Devotional Poem by Danny Smith

Hear my flu of love crying in the clouds above

Oh how my heart aches when I make just one mistake

I feel an ocean of tears washing down my flesh of fears

Oh streams of light make me a path to take sail tonight

Embrace my flu of love that is blue for my God above

I am broken by the end that has brought beyond my sin

I have a flu of love that has risen high like the sun above.

Oh Holy Spirit bless me with rest and stay as my guest

The breezing winter winds have settled into a quiet spin

I will keep my flu of love just for Heavens up above

Prayer

Dear Lord, we know that your plan is perfect and good. We pray for the family that will not have food tonight. Bless them anyway oh God, Bless them any way. We are at the end of the altar; we are at the foot of the cross. We need a miracle; we need your Holy Spirit to bring rain to this desert. Bring your leaders into the Heavenly realm, bring correction and direction to your creations. Release your authority over man. Release your power and deliverance in the name of Jesus. We are resting at the foot of the altar! Bring us into the heavenly realm dear God. We are at the end of our human ways. Purple Ark belong to you dear God. Purple Ark belong to you! Embrace my flu of love and let me rest in the Holy Spirit as I wait for YOU! Amen
