Old Ghost

Sometimes you sit in a sermon and it makes life appear so easy, just turn your face to Jesus. And it really is that easy almost.

This weekend marks 6 years of going to church and in those 6 years Leisha and I have pushed so hard for personal transformation as individuals, as a couple, as a family. We have experienced so much, I know a little bit about that life style now, metanoia. I just don’t think you get to where you need to be without facing your Old Ghost. In fact Leisha is in the throws of discovering and facing some Old Ghost who have hidden themselves so well she only has an inkling they are really there…  Sometimes it’s so painful for her and you have to know surely painful for me to watch from a near, from a far.  I am trying to be as good to her through this as she has been to me, its difficult, she set the bar high.

I am convinced it takes both facings, Jesus and Old Ghost, one lifts up, takes you to a place you should be, the other takes you down to a place you need to go.  If you don’t go there you probably won’t be able to hear or see where Jesus was and especially what he wants to talk about … about those Old Ghost.

Old Ghost
Haunt these halls and cross my lonely thoughts
Show up in the funny way I talk
Speak to me in records that I bought
Screamin at me for all the things I lost

Old Ghost
Lingerin by my old stompin grounds
They built them all and tore the old house down
I can’t go back and I can’t go around
The devils that live on that side of town

I believe in things that I can’t see
In my blood and in my bones
These old Ghost they all belong to me
They hurt me and they heal me
They hide and they reveal me
Remind me what I will be when I’m gone

Old Ghost
Sometimes in the Dark they hold me close
Whisper things I wish I didn’t know
About my self and every heart I’ve

I believe in things I can’t see
In my blood and in my bones
These old Ghost they all belong to me
They hurt me and they heal me
They hide and they reveal me
Remind me what I will be when I’m gone

A Kairos Foundation Class – Quote

This is a re-statement of Kairos Foundation classes…..

The Spiritual world is designed to operate in Integration with the Material World.

We see from Genesis through Revelation two key ideas. First is that God operates in both the spiritual and the material realm. Second is that when mankind only perceives and operates in the material realm, we immediately build destructive patterns of thought. The Spiritual realm is the home of God, and the source of the material realm. E…arth needs the presence of Heaven to operate in the way it is designed to work. Mankind is a unique creature, made from dirt, but quickened by Heaven. Jesus re-introduced to us, how we can function when we re-claim the Breath of God as our source. The human opponent of His mission was not tax collectors and prostitutes, rather it was anyone who operated with their humanity as source instead of the breath of God.

I feel so overwhelmed with gratitude that I can even understand that. Not that I understand it above anyone else but understand it at all !!!!!

** rather it was anyone who operated with their humanity as source instead of the breath of God. **
God Save us from wrong conversations !

That was me for several decades, trying to be a good guy and pretty successful at that AND successful too but in the end…my humanity still as source and then This, almost exaxctly this:
