Zoe life

  It is mighty humbling to think that the LORD has brought to me an opportunity to bring counsel to others here in this land.  Many times have we found counsel from God coming from the mouths of those we'd not noticed or from someone He'd used us to raise up.  It is in these moments when they speak the softest that he speaks the loudest.
  There is something about the Word of God that causes life to stir.  If you have ever read the Word and given any attention to the content, you may have experienced a bit of understanding that came along with a realization that there is something here that you couldn't touch, something intangible...  That something is Life (Greek:Zoe c. John 10:10).  This "Zoe" (zow-ee)  life is something that cannot be purchased, it cannot be grabbed, it cannot be attained by the ways we keep.  This "Zoe" life is given to us.  It's passive, it's something that is done in and for us as we cannot get it on our own.  It is a gift from God and His example thru Christ for us is all about it!  
  Learning to be independently dependant upon Christ has taught many what this "Zoe" life is.  It contains a peace that truly passes understanding.  It takes us and makes us dead to the sin and death of this world and alive to life itself.  It is a realization that the next life isn't next.  It's knowing that we have been called into the eternal, the ever existing, the past, present, and future, LIFE.  The realization and transformation that occurs here in revelation brings us to a place that holds no guile, guilt, or shame, only peace, only freedom.
  Realize that there were two trees in the Garden.  They were given a choice that we have to make everyday.  Will you judge your circumstances or those around you and fall prey to the labors of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?  Won't you simply miss the drama and partake from the tree of life?  God gave opportunity to be reconciled  to Him by Christ.  He gave you an opportunity to take back the mistake of the garden.  He gives you his light, the Sword, His Word and that gives you access to the Tree of Life.  What are you waiting for?

Genuinely,
