Conversation: Pair
Jesus has said that He would be a Yoke-fellow. Under the wood constraint with the sibling of hope and faith. Pulling the load. He says that we should learn of Him. That He is meek and lowly, and that we would find rest for our souls. Imagine partnering under as a Pair and Team. Will the job not get done? (Matthew 11)
Systems of the World Busted.
If you ask me
Things are pretty shabby
Mostly my hasty choices in panic.
Remedies of men are much less
Than second best.
Friends point in that direction.
Not members of the Faith Family.
Not redeemed.
Not ransomed or paid for.
Governed by tradition and fables.
Dear Gramma's kitchen table talks.
Sigh, and sigh again.
Holy Spirit must get
Into the package.
Showing poverty of Flesh.
Of governance
Of apparent Movers and Shakers.
Not an ounce of
Legitimate solution there.
Power of Agreement, Anointing
Something happened on that floor.
Auditorium .
Beat and expectation.
Unavoidable smiles.
Yearning to sing.
Oh, but I’m not a Singer.
Yeah, so what, Girl?
Let it out.
In this place we get it.
Agree with it.
Give copious thanks.
The plan for release
Of discontent, guilt.
Replaced by gratitude.
Joy,
Stomping feet and
Raised hands.
Let’s stop the chat now.
Just sing, OK.

Whatdya Mean Saying You Chose Him?
You walked down the aisle
After raising the hand
Did you understand
Abdication?
Overthrow?
That's what it was you know.
Jesus did the searching
Holy Ghost did the urging.
And you just fell to Mercy's
Precious flow.
Redeemed.
Burn the mortgage
Of your wrongs.
Learn some lyrics
In those wonderful Blood Songs.
And the thanks will
Just spring forth.
You're discovering True North.
And a certainty that
Now you do belong.
It's about time
you stopped and
looked at my Art
it's tantamount
to my Heart.
rolling hills where
grasses smell of spring
streams descend and
carry tads to legs
killdeer begs you
leave the young alone
seeming broke and prone.
all bespeak a ken
for lovely things.
Creator brings.
Whatsoever Things are Lovely (philippians 4)
Catbird's Ways
He sees me from a mid branch
His colouring keeps him safe
And I can hear his bright songs
All over the place.
His young have left their nesting.
I saw them in lower bush
And finally Mommy Dearest
Gave them a push.
So now the liberty singing
He cares not, predators come.
Branches will hide, swift to the skies.
They are Home.
Catbird mimics others.
A final joke you know.
But he will never see
His youngsters grown.
So I come to you with verses
gleaned from Book of books
sublime.
and you think I do so smugly
with no straining slopes to climb.
but I'm a Beggar.
all of God must come that way.
there must be plentiful breaking
then I have some stuff to say
Doorway of Destitution
Called Him Son of Man (ezekiel)
I saw Him and
I didn't think Him special
A smile, a stance
A noble tale to tell.
The people came
Quite naturally to like Him
He took His time
He knew their plight so well.
The Word came out
His special link to Heaven
And Son of Man*
His working name of choice.
It seemed to fit so well
Without our even straining
The touch, the listening ear, the Voice.
Ezekiel used that term*
When God spoke to him
When images of judgment, adjustment
Or sheep's care came to mind.
And Jesus cared, quite tireless
In the tending.
Never wanting to
Leave lonely sheep behind.
It trumps us now
That Leaders seek some trouble
To minimize His
Impact on the lost.
But nothing stops His
Wanderings filled with wonder.
He knows His task
Fulfilled at any cost.
At some point in this, perhaps, you have shivered, or chest has tightened, or a pressure has urged from the diaphragm. Well, are you sleep deprived, dealing with a flu bug. or struggling in an awkward relationship ? Barring any of these, friend, you have encountered the Anointing of the Holy Spirit. He purposes to bring glory to the ascended Jesus. He never will "steal Centre Stage". He offers intimacy, prayer power, recollection of Gospel events, messages and warnings. He is publicist for the Trinity. Impacting to those hungry and searching worldwide. He is available to dwell within your innermost person. Wisdom. Healing. Peace. Miracles. Utterance and Prophecy. Gentleness and meekness. What a trade off for your ugly Old Self. Put on the New. OK? Holy Ghost effects change and support and comfort...Doug Blair and Hilary.
