I knew that, when the nine month waiting period since my "Independence Day" was almost over, things would change, but I never would have guessed that the change would be so...dramatic, and so... RE-LIEVING.
So, I am walking back to Simonstown yesterday, and as I near Long Beach, I finally blurt out what has been bothering me...as a concept. I say to God, "Father, OK, all things are impossible till they are done, and I know enough of You by now to know that nothing of all these things that I said will happen will ever fail, because You do not lie...
But NOTHING is going to happen until The Holy Spirit gets out of my path, and HE wont listen to me, because he thinks i am only after treating him as, as he put it, "a slave, a legal slave", so will You do something about him first, because he holds the key to everything, and he STILL looks down on me".
Overnight, God reminds me, of something else He said to me just after i had seen the movie "THOR", and that was
"Government Thor: Cape Flats"
Now, i am used by now to His unorthodox approach when speaking to me, how He does not limit Himself to the Bible only but gets right to the things that are not only current but are in a way the sort of things no one would expect The Most High God, The Only God, to say...since after all these 'gods' are mythical.
But at the time, i assumed that He was saying to me that He, as The ALL-FATHER, was going to throw me off my rebellious pedestal and, like Odin did with his son Thor, teach me some humility, since i was refusing to do what His Spirit was doing his best to MAKE me do.
That was before, of course, i realised that God is unequivocally on my side, and it was not until this morning that i remembered just why He is on my side, and, after going through scripture over and over again, i realised the impossible statement that God made all those months ago:
God has judged The Holy Spirit, and cast him down.
Not only that, He has cast him at my feet!
I worked it out backwards, starting from me.
1)I never forgive nor forget, and what The Holy Spirit was actually suggesting when he complained to God was that I look past everything he did and respect him even when he made the past 15years of my life so miserable i longed for death rather than continue with life under him.
2)I am really NOT intersted in being in control of anything, and THS's MO is to set up a person, aim him at a target...the devil, and have them clash while he presides...his focus is NOT on God, but on the daily trivia that he assumes make up everyone's life.
3) Cape Flats is a coloured area, and so, God was telling me, i think, that the moment He casts down THS, i would know because i would turn my thoughts to the person THS said was no good for me, the person he later tried to get me to forcibly extract from her boyfriend when he saw i would not listen to him.
I think The Holy Spirit... and everyone else... thinks i am a dickless loudmouth who never does anything but speaks from an armchair, but...in the case of this lady, i was half of a mind to DO something about her, because i could understand her predicament, yet while i hesiated, with good reason, God spoke to me and said that while i would succeed if i sweettalked this girl from her boyfriend, i would have to carry her on my back for the next 10 years, which would be HARD for me, since, and i quote, "God is a God of THIN violence"
I will explain THAT statement. I once watched the movie "Death Race", and this was at a time when i had nothing else better to do, but the reason it stuck in my mind was that, as i sat, waiting for the movie to begin, the pirated DVD i had acquired had froze, because of scratches, and the squares that came up made me pay attention to what follows...because everyone knows that one notices an anormally more than an ordinary thing.
This image of our world, was rotating on its axis, and the atmosphere showed as a very thin sliver as compared to the whole of the globe...all this just before the globe breaks up to show the UNIVERSAL logo.
And it struck me at that time just how thin was the safety net in which "we live and move and have our being", compared to the rest of everything.
Paul said that to the Athenians, right, that in God we "live and move and have our being"...and for me, THAT is the whole point.
God said , and I quote, "My yoke is easy and MY burden is light... and my yoke is as academic to the fish".
Now, He was saying to ME that He had claimed me, and all He wanted for me to do was to present the facts to people, like an academic...and not to DO anything, because the reason He picked ME was that HE could be fully shown as He is, unlike in everyone else who had a private agenda, for self glorification, and since it is written, "the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of The Lord as the waters cover the sea", then God was saying, if I keep my place as a mere speaker, then He would send me a "servant" who would see to it that the fish who bit on my words were hooked... and well, that has happened.
Unfortunately, it means i will NOT be building a car, i will not be making any cures, because God said, to His people, "If you obey My commands, then I will NOT bring out on you the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians, for I am The LORD who heals you".
Oh, and by the way, I have reached the count of 20 on my women selection. I think that is enough, since my hands will be forever free of ANY work!
