sunday goodday ..

it's sunday
i used to like sunday
then i got to dislike sunday ..

raised under Fundamentalism i enjoyed the biblical analysis and became an avid bible reader
but the system ruined me .. almost
then i got free
i was loosed to be me
to walk in the freedom of the spirit of God, with no accounting for the peripheral stuff that we pharisees like to attach in by-laws and covenants and creeds and such ..

free!

that means the world to me ..

there were all sorts of walls to be broken down, lines to smudge-out, distinctions to blur, convictions to unconvict ..
it has been a long, and sometimes, rough road, and i'm still trekking it
but i would never go back
ever ..
freedom is way too valuable to compromise or threaten

brings me to this ..
in the vein of that attitude, i got to the point where i simply refused to accept just any church ..
refused
walked out of some
sat through some and shook my mental head in unbelief that i was back there
got angry in some, and left crying out loudly to God for help
i sooooo needed something new
something real
something that left the money-concerns in the atrium, that refused to jump on one of the many wagons that encircle today's christianity - seeker-friendly/performance/purpose-driven/concert stylie/starbucks .. or same ol same oly - pomp and splendour/robed and formalized/hellfire and brimstone/sin-enumerating/finger-pointiing ..

i refused to settle

then, by way of a church i was attending, which was kinda cool, i rerouted to another church
and hit home
smelled it from the minute i sat in the pew
felt it, even before the service began
my spirit was elevating
even the word 'mercy' is part of their name .. ha!

then all hell broke loose .. GodSpirit showed up and the rest is simply dessert
blueberries on the cheescake
coffee and ..

and i'm thrilled
excited
pleasured

`|`

you don't get that ?
you don't have that where you are?
you haven't experienced that excitement?

go for it!
look for that
tell Jesus you want it, need it, must have it
and then step out
look
and do not stop looking until God gives it to you

trust me
there are still such people out there
(amazingly as that was for me to discover .. )

find them
you will soar

trust me on this one ..

all praises to the God that persists in maintaining a poweful remnant in the earth

thank you, Jesus


peace
