Behold ...having children of mine own ...two older ...and able ...and even one of youth ...
and it came to pass of measures of matters ...dear and needs be of heart and truth and prayer ...times of troubles ...(as i saw them in the flesh) ...and my pleading ...for my children to hear my words of helps for them ...and yet they would not hear it ...
and i said the more ...saying to each one ...in each measure of matters ...that each of them was in ...(seeming to me to be unworthy) ...to each of them i said ...why ? who am i ...yet only your father ...i have not advantage to take from you ...only to love you and keep you safe ...and that of spirit and truth ...of God through Jesus ...
i have nothing that i would gain ...neither would i try to move you for prides sake ..so that i would be "proud" of you ...as it is wickedness before God and Christ to do such a thing ...neither do i measure you one against another saying your sister did this ...and same is expected of you ...no NOT at all for again it is unworthy before God and Christ to do such a thing ...
and the more was i given to say to my children ...and to reason with them plainly ...and nothing more...and even to go with them wheresoever i was sent ...to show them ...in their face the plain and simple matters ...that of the world were against them ... and they looked and saw ...and said ...yes i see that ...and so i thought ...fine ...now they will do the worthy thing ...and flee from that "thing" ...being reasoned with ...and seeing ...and me being right there with them ...in all things ...measure of matter ...for measure of matter ...plain and simple ...
and this knowingly ...both them and myself ...all opened ...that they might withhold from a thing unworthy ...or leave a place where they were unsafe ...plain and simple ...
Now of the older ...neither ...did as such...as was discerned with them ...shown them plainly ...even as we both went to ...the thing or the place and found agreement ....that it was of truth ...unworthy ...or unsafe ...
AND YET still they ...neither of the older ...would listen to me ...
and so i asked of the younger ...saying ...let me ask you a question ...and nothing implied ...only a simple question ...and i would like to see if you might help me find an answer ...and she said What dad ?? what is the question ?
and i said "why don't kids listen to their parents?" ...and only that plainly ...saying saying to ...that it be of worthy parents ...not seeking advantage or pride as mentioned above ...
saying too ...that of parents that only love their children ...and look to not other thing that their well being and health and happiness ...and safe keeping ...
evenso and not binding of fear and all other things ...unworthy to raise children in ...or of ...
just parents that love their children and that in spirit and truth of God through Jesus ...and nothing more ...
Why then asked i ...to the younger do not the children listen ...even the older ...?
to this she said ...as she considered the question plainly ...gee dad ...i don't know ! ...
again ...of course its a given that it is of worthy parents ...of truth and love and spirit ...of God through Jesus ..
Nevertheless ...and i was of a mighty wonder ...and so i did go to heartfull prayer ...of spirit and truth before God and Christ ...yearning of soul to know ...
Why children don't listen to their parents ??? and Jesus Christ my brother was first to answer ...and he said ..."Why don't you listen ?" ...and i thought eeeek ! ...yet my brother Jesus was trying to teach me a measure of matters ...and not to chastise me ...only to help me understand ...and i knew this of heart ...
and before i was able to even discern the matter ...my father God ...spoke ...and he said ..."it is their own will" ...why any say yes or no ...fins agreement with right ..or find agreement with wrong ...all every each one has their own will ...and that is 1st to them ...and to listen ...is second ...to move ..or to be moved is third ...yet all ...all is of their own will ...
and it is NOT God's will ...that their will be taken away ...that any child of God ...be as creatures ...animals of the earth ...who can do nothing but the will of God ...for it is their nature ...
No ...not at all ...only he asks ...that all might be as one of will ...in truth and spirit and love and soul ...even unto to eternal life ...to be as one "with him" ...who created all ...unto all blessing and health and safety ...and saving ...
Even so then it is plain ...we have our own will ...be it separate from God's will ...or be it as one with God's will ...or somewhere in between ...
and of this "in" between ...either drawing closer ...or going farther away ...according to their own will ...plain and simple ...
Yet as a measure of matters ...the more ...none of their own will ...again "of their own will" ...can hear God or Jesus ...or mend themselves unto worthiness before God ...no not one ...
NOW the question ...father God ...how is it then that any be kept save and saved ? ...if then we have only our will ...and that mostly to serve ourselves and our own flesh ...?
and the answer ...so plain and so simple ...only Jesus can mend any unto God ...only Jesus can ...mend hearts unto the heart of God ...only Jesus mend minds unto right thinking ...only HE ...of truth and spirit and mighty power ...can keep any safe ...and only Jesus can save any ...
and so it is ...and is of the spirit of the truth ...only Jesus is able to mend us whole ...of mind body and soul ...heart and head ...into the perfect will of God ...
ONLY HE is worthy and ABLE ...and our whole being ...of HIM is kept ...in JESUS is our ONLY HOPE ...for us unto our father GOD .
