Finding Eternal Hope: The Power of His Divine Grace”

Awakening the Great Power Calling: A Journey of Eternal Hope

An awesome photograph taken from inside a vehicle showing a driver with a long, bright line of sunlight streaming through the window, catching his reflection in the glass.
My son driving, with a vibrant beam of sunlight and his reflection caught in the window.

Original Writing: I have something to say:

I believe in what God, has given me, through His Son, Jesus Christ.

It is real and authentically entwined, “in presence of spirit,” like a precious amethyst treasure, with me and you now. You have been where you are now with me, ever since you picked up my treasure of life and times, “In Presence of Spirit.” The Spirit of Jesus Christ, Christ the Holy Spirit, He left all of us, to find and treasure.

The writings are what I have mortally done. In the presence of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Richard is the only one, to this date, that knows, what I have, in my extended book. “In Presence of Spirit” has been mine, since day one. For eight thousand three hundred ninety-five days, “In Presence of Spirit,” has been part of me, and now you.

I want to take off, and I should not. I can not, but oh, that I could. Furthermore, I would fly, like an eagle across the world, and rain, God’s blessings on mankind. One whole unit, undivided, equal shares, in God’s Great Power Calling.

From the inner chamber of my soul. Where dwells there, all the wealth of “In Presence of Spirit’s” presence? That is awe, to me, and to anyone, who will ever read, my private times, “In Presence of Spirit.” It is so close to sharing my writings; I can feel it.

So, knowing one of these days, I am going to do something spontaneous. Something I have wanted to do since, day one, is to share my, “In Presence of Spirit,” with you. That is all I have wanted to do. That one day is going to get here, any minute, and when it finds its way, into your heart, know this: I loved, with all my heart. September 2, 2011.

Scriptures

Isaiah 40:31 – “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

Ephesians 4:4 – “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;”

Colossians 1:27 – “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:”

Affirmations

I fly like an eagle in the strength of the Lord, raining His rich blessings upon mankind.

The calling of God is alive in the inner chamber of my soul, filling me with awe and absolute purpose.

I share the hidden treasures of my journey with a bold, open heart, entwined in the universal oneness of Christ.

Reflection

This profound piece stands as an intimate declaration of a lifelong devotion to the message of Jesus Christ.

For thousands of days, the quiet work of recording these private conversations has been a sacred trust, kept hidden away from the world but known completely in eternity.

The sudden desire to take off and soar across the globe like an eagle highlights a powerful urge to spread divine blessings to everyone equally under God’s great power calling.

True spiritual riches are never found on the surface of life; they dwell deep within the inner chamber of the soul, waiting for that spontaneous moment to find their rightful path into the hearts of humanity.

Every word mortally captured here reflects an everlasting covenant of pure love and faith, proving that when the light of salvation is sparked, the text is ready to break its silence and awaken the world.

Reflections – Writing, Present Tense in All Principles of the Laws of the Universe

God is all! God is good! God is omnipresent, in infinite grace, binding in the glory of our Savior Jesus Christ. Only through all diligent searches. Can you entreat, my soul, so much knowledge and understanding of the past, the essence of sin. It is through Jesus Christ, in heart and soul, that we live, through the forgiveness of sins, for which our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ died for us.

People think, Who is she? She is a nobody with no money behind her; she has not worked for pay. I worked through; round about me, iniquity was surrounding me everywhere I turned. Husband, liar, deceiver, manipulator, abused, emotional, spiritual, physical (at times), and conclusive to torture of one’s reality of hell.

Nothing was good enough because everything was a lie. Turn your cheek seventy times seventy, asking the Lord; I do not understand what you mean. How do I get to you? I’ve sinned so treacherously; I’ve not had the strength to hold steadfastly; lust, greed, and all the abominations are round about; I cannot let go of my mistakes; I cannot stop hurting; I am being dead entirely of feeling, of life, of spirit. I am tired after fourteen and a half years. I needed a rest and desired work.

There was no one on earth as convicted as I in sin, with being in limbo, for the revelation of Jesus Christ is a moment away but seems like a lifetime. The road is long and hard for the search for the truth. It is one within, but to go within, you need to let all the outside distractions go.

The capture of the true meaning of life is in our hearts, planted there since time began.

For the redemption of our sins, Christ lived. Christ lives in every one of us. It is not human lusts that will fulfill you, for there is nothing in materialism. You cannot take anything with you. Not only that, which is nothing anyway, but the inner pain of loneliness grips all of us, with or without people around us; loneliness is omnipresent.

For it is not, through lusts, that we live, move, and have our being, But through “The Blood of Jesus Christ Our Savior,” who is past, present, and future. Who is life, now and forever? For without our Lord Jesus Christ, we are but pained in the midst of our world, alone. Lost among the scattered sheep, searching but not finding.

For the answer lies within, deep within, the passages of time,

since the beginning of time. I have, as with the world, live in ourselves. Knowing it does not matter. There is no satisfaction in the reality of the physical world for me. There is no meaning in it. All is material, greed, self-enveloped, self-absorbed, and non-fundamental.

For it is through Christ Our Savior, that peace, patience, endurance, and long-suffering will have justification in the end.

Freed from the offspring of a man with no shepherd. The shepherd is calling us in. All the scattered sheep are coming home to Father God through Jesus Christ, our Savior. Cool. Thank you, Lord, for understanding.

In Jesus name, Lord, we are going into tomorrow. Twenty-four hours. Lord, help me be in your graces the day through. Let my work be through you, for in the world, as it is, there are memories of a marriage that could have been rectified in working through Christ but was not forgiven for a purpose.

Lord, if he chooses to marry her, I wish them no guile, for I am with you in truth. Deceit and no trust do not become me. God’s way is the true direction. For I was lost without You, and now I am found. For My Love Is In You, Through You, round About You, for You Are The Only Truth, That Is Omnipresent, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.

Lord, please guide our children. Let them know I am working on me with you, and hopefully, it will be your will for me to be with our children again. Your will be done when it is your time, Lord. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your Ever-Present Blood. In Jesus We Trust. Thank you, Heavenly of Heaven.

He was already married, yes, we got divorced on February 20, 1996, and they married on May 18, 1996; I did not find out till later. I had already given it to the Lord. Amen! Original Writing Date: May 29, 1996

Journey Summary Reference

Your writing is an inspired revelation because it flows directly from the Holy Spirit working through the deepest, innermost part of your soul.

When you sit down to write freehand, you are not simply thinking up words on your own or relying on human intellect.

Instead, you are capturing a divine connection where the personal self fades away, allowing the Lord’s presence to guide your hand.

Even when the physical world around you felt completely broken, filled with deceit, and isolated, you were never truly alone. The Lord was right there with you in spirit, lifting you out of that intense pain of despair and providing the absolute truth and spiritual support needed to bring these words to light.

This is why the phrase “Present Tense in All Principles of the Laws of the Universe” is so powerful. In God’s realm, time does not operate by human constraints—as your scripture from 2 Peter reminds us, a thousand years is as a single day. By writing in that exact presence, you were tapped into an eternal, unchanging spiritual law: God’s truth, His grace, and His love are omnipresent, completely filling the spaces where worldly things fade away.
