Emerging from the Darkness Into Spirit and Truth

Emerging from the Darkness Into                      Spirit and Truth

Writing: A Letter to You

Open highway extending toward a vibrant orange and gold sunset on the horizon with distant mountain silhouettes under dark twilight clouds.
Finding steady hope and magnificent beauty along the open road at twilight.

I am writing, a letter to you in secret. While writing, you are here with me. You are the most sacred secret, in my being. You have always been with me, even when I was in darkness. I went to fight the fires.

So few people were put in my direct path. I needed to do it; once in the fire, back away, closed up, no understanding, new things, nothing stuck, years flew by, many I feel I lost, but I was there all the while.

Do you understand? No feeling, dead inside, no life, the utter loss and destruction of the end of the desolation, was downright horrible, as bad as bad can be.

I lost you. Let me fight, till the bitter end. I knew I was leaving, but when the time was shown, no other second would have sufficed.

You completely enveloped my life. I want you back complete. You are the presence of spirit. You are the highest. Furthermore, you are my life, my love, my peace, my substance, my feelings, and my understanding.

You are the first and last breath, I take. You are Soul. Furthermore, you are Spirit. Besides, you are life. You are my beloved, in the very depths, of the sphere, that you are from. Through You and Only You, is Life Internally Eternal.

The light of your love envelops my spirit, with yours. You walked into me at the Arroyo. I felt you; it was not my imagination. You wanted me to live with you forever.

I love you. You are mine internally, and I have shared you with the world through My Love For You. In the writings, that your comfort brought to the knowledge you unfolded. Through the love of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Oh, this was supposed to be in secret. As it is written, “There is not one thing in secret, that will not be revealed.” Blessed too, “In Presence of Spirit.”

January 17, 1997

Scriptures (King James Version)

Luke 12:2
“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.”

John 14:27
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world give, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Affirmations

Even in the deepest darkness and heaviest trials the Lord is intimately present with me.

I step out of the desolation of the past and fully accept the life love and peace of the Holy Spirit.

My spirit is beautifully intertwined with the eternal love of God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Reflection

This letter serves as an intimate testament to the rescue of the human soul from utter desolation.

Walking through the fire can leave a person feeling entirely dead inside, yet this piece marks the exact moment the realization drops into the heart: God never left.

The encounter at the Arroyo was a real, tangible awakening where the Holy Spirit completely enveloped a weary life.

By documenting this hidden closeness, the secret is beautifully revealed to the world, offering steady hope and showing that true, eternal comfort is found when our spirit fully merges with His.

The Beautiful Miracle of Here I Am Lord

The Beautiful Miracle of Here I Am                             Lord

 

Original Writing: Here I am Lord

An outstanding photograph of a giant, massive rock wall looming huge on the left side of an open West Coast highway drive.
Passing alongside a massive monument of solid stone on the open road.

Here I am, Lord: waiting for the word to start my internal purification all over again. I am waiting for the complete closure of my writings to You so I can send them out to whoever finds it in their hearts to read.

It is mostly my calling, and I cannot take myself out of it. So what if I am unknown? It is about finding You in my heart, in my soul, and in my mind.

It is about You giving me a beautiful gift of You, the first writing, and all the rest. The reason all this has come together is for Your world awakening: in You, through You, on the side of You, on Your feet, and in the twinkling of Your spiritual presence.

Through the unveiling of Your love for mankind to come into the inner chamber of their hearts. You will meet them and activate the total rights of Your great power calling through me for them. You have to give to receive.

Lord, have mercy on the whole world. Bring us out of the darkness and into the light of Your ever-presence. Shine Your love on the multitudes in the presence of Your Spirit. I claim prosperity of heart, mind, and soul to the Christ Spirit within us all, forevermore. October 15, 2009.

“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
— Isaiah 6:8 (KJV)

  • “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”
    — Romans 12:1

    — John 15:16
  • “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”

Affirmations:

I find the presence of the Lord deeply within my heart, soul, and mind.

My life and writings are dedicated to His purpose, serving as a beacon for a great awakening.

I step forward in faith, trusting that His grace will lead me from darkness into everlasting light.

 

Reflection:
Standing before the massive monuments of life’s journey, the soul recognizes its own stillness in the presence of the Creator.

Answering the divine call requires a complete surrender of the personal self, allowing a total internal purification to take place.

Though one may feel hidden or unknown to the wider world, the true work unfolds within the inner chamber of the heart, where an everlasting dialogue with the Lord is established.

By dedicating your life and expressions to this spiritual purpose, you become a vessel for a greater awakening, passing along the profound light of grace to anyone who searches for it.

Trusting in this steady hope allows the spirit to step forward boldly, knowing that true prosperity of the soul is found when we give ourselves completely to His divine order.

The Powerful Truth of Finding Knowledge

The Powerful Truth of Finding Knowledge

Original Writing: Finding Knowledge

An open highway drive at dusk with a car ahead under heavy dark clouds and a glowing sunset at the bottom of the horizon.
Traveling onward under changing skies with steady hope on the road ahead.

Finding knowledge, through the words of God, through His prophets. Understanding, through the death and resurrection of our sweet Lord Jesus. Ultimately, wisdom is given through the powers of God’s fulfilling promises and words.

The Revelations, since the transition from sin. To fully accept Christ as my Savior. The baptism, the death of sin, and rebirth through Jesus Christ’s Sacred Heart. In the Deliverance, all substance of Christ comes together; the sin is forgiven.

The transition is hard and lonely but is a must. It can be more comfortable with people who have been through the same thing, which is everyone. Realizing I am one of his followers, I followed; I let everything go. I had no other choice. I used to ask. “God, what does it mean? How can you? Leave your home, your children, all your belongings, and your unfaithful husband.

I told the judge I wanted justification. And he took everything except he gave me back my maiden name. “That is all I wanted.” I turned, relieved. “The justification through Christ is provided; I was free from him.

I mourned for six months; I studied for six months. (Before) April 30, 1995, I got saved, for the seventh time, transitioning from mind to the heart. Cut the dimensions of resistance. I felt it; the preacher saw it. Baptized May 7, 1995. Delivered, February 9, 1996.

I was inspired to write. No one cared. I could not do very much of anything, except study. He walked with me into the fire and brought me unsheathed out of the fire. In my writings, I have found the Holy Spirit writing through me, pages upon pages, of the Oneness of Christ’s Love and Patience for Us, His Chosen.

I surely know the way into the presence of God, and someday when it is God’s time. I will write for many, through me, in Him, roundabout. Actually, I have to put it all together; it is in months. It is already written. July 18, 1996.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
— Proverbs 1:7 (KJV)

  • “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
    — James 1:5
  • “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”
    — James 3:17
  • “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:”
    — Ephesians 1:17

Affirmations:

I cut the dimensions of resistance, transitioning completely from the mind to the heart.

I am a faithful follower of Christ, unsheathed from the fire and brought into His sacred deliverance.

The Holy Spirit writes through me, revealing pages upon pages of the Oneness of Christ’s Love and Patience.

Reflection:
Originally recorded on July 18, 1996, this profound testimony stands as a monument of absolute transformation, tracing the painful yet necessary crossing out of old bondage into true liberty.
It marks the exact coordinate where intellectual striving breaks down, allowing a total transition from the mind directly into the sanctuary of the heart.
The text reveals that true justification is not granted by human courts or earthly decrees, but is fully provided through the finished work of Christ, which returns the soul to its clean, inherited name.
By enduring the lonely seasons of study and the severe heat of the fire, the author emerged completely unsheathed, carrying a holy instruction to write for the masses.
Ultimately, this foundational piece serves as a timeless assurance that when we let go of every worldly belonging and cut through the dimensions of resistance, the Holy Spirit immediately steps in to fill the page, anchoring our existence forever in the perfect oneness of divine love and patience.

The Beautiful Miracle of Show Them The Way: To Anyone Who Cares!

The Beautiful Miracle of Show Them The Way: To Anyone Who Cares!

Original Writing: Show Them the Way

A breathtaking highway view at dusk showing a vibrant sunset resting on top of a dark cloud with mountains in the background.
A gorgeous West Coast dusk drive with a glowing sunset path breaking through heavy clouds.

The cycle is not being targeted or amended. We would have to modify, in Jesus Christ’s world awakening, forever.

What will be is meant to be. Take the legalization of abortion off the face of the map, use protection, or do not do it—the change from child to complete responsibility for your new life. It is not hard. Transfer!

Stop legalized abortion completely! Stop children from making up their minds. They have scars for life. Nothing is ever the same, inside. The innocence has vanished.

The love that could have been has been taken away. The newness of life is gone. Always having the pain of loss, of love, of life, literally. Abortion is not the answer.

Bring back the innocence in our children. Do not let them make a choice that will scar them until they meet their maker. Give them two options. Have the baby. Or adopt the baby to someone who needs to love a precious angel.

Now they do not let parents involve themselves with the immediate details of what their children are going through. Why has their choice been given to them?

Every day, you never forget, especially when you have nine grandchildren. In threes at the same time, in nine years, one passed away at four months, SIDS.

This decision of termination of a pregnancy, to a child, is insane. The scars from the experience do not just last for a day. They are ever-present, and there is not one thing you can do about it after it is done.

You suffer alienation, guilt, depression, anxiety, and a secret (among other repercussions), and then when you are pregnant with your husband, you feel insecure; you think you are going to be punished for the tragedy that befell you.

You grieve not just days, weeks, or months; you grieve for years. I am telling you. My happiness was destroyed inside of me.

Clean the world up. Bring Back The Love, Understanding Innocence of The New Day. Bring It Back Into The Hearts of Mankind.

Take abortion out of their vocabulary. If you want to play, you play for keeps, or you adopt your child—no more excuses. Russian roulette, you play with adult matters. There are only seventy-two hours to get pregnant a month.

How many bull’s-eyes? Millions. Do not do it. It is not fun. It is not loving, compassionate, or understanding; it is being a servant to the guy and then on call 24-7 for years for your baby. Stop, Look, Listen! Does your gut say no, but your body says yes? That is when you say, No, and go home?

Always go with your gut instinct; that is Jesus. I tell you to go the other way, and you decide to go your way. Your approach is the wrong way. If you listen to that gut instinct, it will always be the right way. You cannot go wrong.

You do not live with the guilt that smothers the very presence of your inner being because it is clouded with heavy darkness. Because of that one time, it was devastating.

After that, I was a mess, with what seemed like no way out of the pain and isolation one goes through in the in and out of the abortion. That is it! No turning back ever.

Only to the pain and misery of that decision that is made out of fear, no means, no childhood—a child taking care of a child.

Or anyone’s agony having made such a huge decision, or someone else making that decision for you. Not knowing the repercussion of that horrible experience, you can never take it back. September 22, 2009.

February 24, 2013: My number one reason for publishing this is for the ones that are about to make a choice that will have a negative impact on their life.” To make the ever-after choice is better than the other—my misery to prove it.

NO! It is the only choice. Give it to God. Think of God. Give yourselves through Jesus Christ to God. He is here in the here and now of yesterday’s tomorrows.

Go into your inner being, accept His gift, and a new awakening shall take place. How can “Show them the way,” “Sweet Mercies,” “Abortion,” and “In Presence of Spirit” be given to the ones that need to know now? I can not do it by myself.

“I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”
— Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV)

  • “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
    — John 10:10
  • “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
    — James 1:17
  • “But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.”
    — Mark 10:14

Affirmations:

I listen closely to my gut instinct, trusting that it is Jesus guiding me down the right path.

I step out of the heavy darkness and shadows, accepting the gift of a beautiful new awakening.

I surrender my burdens through Jesus Christ to God, resting in His grace in the here and now.

Reflection:
Originally recorded on September 22, 2009, and expanded on February 24, 2013, this heavy and deeply moving testimony stands as an absolute, uncompromising appeal to choose life and protect the ultimate innocence of children.
It exposes the enduring emotional weight, grief, and intense anxiety that follow a choice made out of fear, offering the author’s own shared misery as a clear warning to spare others from the same lifelong scars.
The text reveals a profound spiritual strategy: by refusing to succumb to the darkness or look back at past tragedies, the soul must firmly give everything to God through Jesus Christ.
Tuning out the pressures of the world and listening completely to that pure gut instinct allows an individual to discover the right way out of isolation.
Ultimately, this foundational piece serves as a beautiful monument of deliverance, proving that when you step into your inner being and accept His sacred grace, a massive new awakening takes place, transforming personal suffering into a guiding light to show others the way home.

When a Day Is Like an Eternity: A Spiritual Miracle

Original Writing: Like an Eternity

 

Every day is like an eternity.

A highway ahead enclosed by solid rock mountains on either side under the sky.
A striking view looking down an open road enclosed on both sides by towering, solid rock mountains under a framing sky.

The loneliness is subsiding; that is, there is God. Till death do us part, is as close, as one’s last breath, for with years comes the inevitable end.

The days have caught up; the time is at hand. Join together, one and all. Your parents, your grandparents, your children, your families, and your neighbors need you. God said, “No more suffering.”

The pain remembered, oh so distant but right at the grasp of the mind’s eye, a lifetime, in one thought.

Come out of the grave of the outer and into the peace of the inner. Give it to God through Jesus Christ. Think not of yourself, but give of yourself.

My mind is clear of all obstructions. The cobwebs have been cleaned. The understanding of the parables is precise, not just for me and you but for everyone concerned.

For if it is to be. To satisfy all the lusts imaginable, why are you still without, an empty void? Awesome, Yuk, the dung of existence, for if we are without, what must it be like within?

The liberty of our eternal existence is at hand. Clean your internal house; clear the cobwebs. Without, you are lost; with, there is no separation, for within comes contentment.

Withdraw inward, seek the peace within. The passion comes from long-suffering. Greed comes from the lusts of man. Where is the freedom? The world is contrite. Litigation is in an explosion of catastrophes daily.

Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened. Listen, and you will hear. Enter the inner chamber, and clear the misconceptions of existence. There is only one way, one way through the narrow hall, for verily, if we sway, the way can be reversed.

The Passion of Christ is Within. The promises are of Christ Within. The mysteries of Christ are within. The lusts of the world are deteriorating our existence. Fight for the truth.

The truth is in us all. The search is final. Once found, stacked down, there is no other. The One, the Redeemer of Our Souls, is in your face.

July 1996

Colossians 3:2

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Matthew 6:6

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which is in secret shall reward thee openly.

  • “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
    — 2 Peter 3:8
  • “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
    — John 16:33
  • “To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:”
    — Galatians 1:16
  • “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”
    — Psalm 90:2
  • “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
    — Isaiah 41:10
  • “The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.”
    — Nahum 1:7

Affirmations

My heart is completely fixed on eternity, and I will not trade the permanent for the temporary.

I am stepping away from the distractions of the outer world to enter the secret place of divine stillness.

Through Jesus Christ, my mind is completely clear of all obstructions and the cobwebs have been cleaned.

I choose to live with a quiet inside, completely anchored in the peace and contentment of the Holy Spirit.

Reflection

    True prayer is not found in the noise or geography of the outer world; it is found when the heart is fully awakened in stillness.

    When we withdraw inward and enter that narrow inner chamber, the misconceptions of this temporary existence completely clear away.

    The promises, the mysteries, and the passion of Christ are not waiting for us somewhere out there—they are already alive within us. By clearing out the internal cobwebs and giving ourselves entirely to God, we find an enduring contentment that no earthly catastrophe or distraction can ever touch.

Expanded Reflection:
    Originally recorded in July 1996, this profound piece serves as a monumental turning point in the spiritual path, capturing the precise moment where the soul stops running down the open roads of external seeking and turns entirely inward toward the Creator.
    Enclosed by the towering, heavy mountains of worldly limitations and human struggles, the spirit experiences a deep awakening: loneliness immediately dissolves the moment we recognize the absolute ever-presence of God.
    This writing lays bare the emptiness of chasing earthly lusts, comparing the shallow exterior world to the dung of existence.
    True liberty demands an uncompromised internal house cleaning—a thorough sweeping away of the mental cobwebs, legalistic distractions, and worldly obstructions that cloud the mind’s eye.
    By firmly sheathing the ego and stepping directly through the narrow hall of salvation, the author discovers that the mysteries, promises, and the very Passion of Christ are not distant historical events, but a living reality operating fully within the sanctuary of the heart.
    Ultimately, this foundational testimony stands as a triumphant declaration that when we surrender the keeping words of human pride and withdraw into the quiet, inner chamber of faith, the search is finalized, the empty void is filled, and the face of our true Redeemer is revealed in perfect, everlasting contentment.

Awaken to the Light: A Powerful Journey From Darkness

To You, who is about to read, my writings of, “In Presence of Spirit.”

Making them a blog, original writings.

A big rock mountain standing under a clear sky in New Mexico
A wide photograph of a giant rock mountain standing alone as a massive peak under an open sky.

May Our Lord Jesus Christ, Bless You, With Understanding. I am sharing my most precious keepsake. I feel the, “I have to,” of it all.

These books are first editions that did not sell, did not, get read. I did not promote, in any way.

It is, such “A Personal Journey,”

that I have to, “Look Past Myself,” and give you, what Jesus Christ, gave me. I feel I am giving them to people who will not put it aside, and never read it?

I am giving-sharing it with you, who needs a little, “In Presence of Spirit,” and when you need a lot of, “In Presence of Spirit.” I have that also, but it needs, to be, Published.

I am in the final stage, of completing “A Journey From Darkness To The Light”

in writing for everyone, not just myself, and I am the only one, who has read it? Only one person knows about, all of it.

I need you to know that Chapter 1, Life is but a never-ending circle, is “In Presence of Spirit.” The first writing. I wrote it in April 1988. In the end, creative joy is in your hands.

Well, it took years for it to come out of me, creative joy, that is,

but once it did. I had such relief from my pain. That I felt, from the beginning, “I Wanted To Share With Everyone.”

I believe with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, I know that Jesus Christ Holy Spirit is the writer, through me and with me, because I cannot write without him. I also would like for you to know that I asked for no one’s advice or direction. It all came from the Lord. I asked for no one’s permission.

Through all adversity, Through all the trials and tribulations, it was worth the wait.

I have cherished these “special conversations” I have with the Lord, and now I am sharing them with you. With one heart to heal.

August 20, 2008 — August 25, 2008

Historical Note: Before I wrote this. I had my worst glaucoma attack. I was going to give some of my books away, and this was to them: The Soldiers at War, the wounded, etc., to prison inmates. I was going to insert it in the book. But now is a different story. I have fifty-three writings on my blog. The only way these writings can help wounded hearts is to be shared. That is what I am doing with my writings. I am still sharing my writings. I have published 328; with pictures, it makes it 656. Not bad, huh? Thank you, Jesus Christ, for the presence of Your Holy Spirit. Thank you for reading my precious times, “In Presence of Spirit,” with the Lord.

Scriptures

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
— Matthew 6:2 (KJV)

“Enter in the strait gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
— Matthew 6:13-14 (KJV)

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”
— Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV)

“They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
— Matthew 9:12-13 (KJV)

“Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.”
— Matthew 10:26 (KJV)

“What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.”
— Matthew 10:27 (KJV)

Affirmations

I willingly place my heart where my true treasure resides, anchoring my entire soul in the pure, uncompromised direction of the Holy Spirit.

I choose the narrow path and the strait gate with absolute courage, knowing it leads directly to true, lasting life and spiritual understanding.

I boldly speak in the bright daylight what the Lord has whispered to me in the quiet darkness, preaching His ever-presence without fear or hesitation.

Reflection

    This introductory text serves as a sacred threshold, bridging a multi-decade journey of solitary obedience that began in April 1988.

 

    It captures the transition from a hidden, intensely personal keepsake to an open, shared sanctuary meant to bind up wounded hearts.

 

    By grounding this message in the powerful warnings and invitations of the Gospel of Matthew, the act of publishing becomes an act of spiritual mercy.

 

    What was once kept safe in the quiet, isolated spaces of personal trial is brought beautifully to the light, fulfilling a divine mandate to let creative joy heal the world.

 

Expanded Reflection
     Originally recorded between August 20 and August 25, 2008, this foundational introductory text stands as a sacred threshold, bridging a multi-decade journey of solitary obedience that first sparked in April 1988 with Chapter 1, “Life is but a never-ending circle.”
     It beautifully captures the transition from a hidden, intensely personal keepsake—once nearly given away to wounded soldiers and prison inmates during a time of physical adversity—into an open, globally shared sanctuary built entirely to bind up broken hearts.
    By grounding this ultimate opening message in the powerful warnings and compassionate invitations of the Gospel of Matthew, the act of publishing your blog becomes a profound act of spiritual mercy.
    The text reveals that true creative joy cannot remain trapped within an unsold or unpromoted book; rather, it demands that the author look past the self to hand over what Jesus Christ freely gave in the secret place of devotion.
     What was once kept safe in the quiet, isolated spaces of personal trial and physical pain is now brought boldly into the bright daylight, fulfilling a divine mandate to shout His omnipresent love from the housetops and let the presence of the Holy Spirit bring total restoration to a waiting world.

To Whom I May Concern: A Journey of Truth and Survival

To Whom I May Concern

A wide night photograph capturing a massive, prominent cross shape made of intense, radiant white light shining brightly in the open sky.
An incredible, giant cross of brilliant light captured radiating through the deep darkness of the night.

I Am Of Sound Mind And Body. The accounts are, therefore, brought forth to be certified when completed.

The following is a sparse account of my life in order to fulfill my heart’s desire.

I must, therefore, take appropriate measures to fulfill my heart’s quest.

If Only For The Truth, of My Innermost Being, and The Acknowledgment of The Reality, of The Distance, Between Space and Time.

Read on to learn what misunderstandings can do to people’s lives, plus how it is, in all honesty, someone’s worst nightmare, especially after total realizations and accounts of such.

November 25, 1995
The funny thing is, I had not started writing yet.

Scripture

“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”

— 1 Corinthians 13:12 (KJV)

Affirmations

I stand anchored in the absolute truth of my innermost being, knowing that the Lord acknowledges every step of my heart’s true quest.

I release the heavy burden of worldly misunderstandings, trusting completely that God covers my path and brings total realization to light.

I honor the divine timing of my life, recognizing that even before my hands began to write, the Holy Spirit was preparing the canvas of my soul.

Reflection

This powerful declaration serves as a historical foundation stone, capturing the precise moment right before a massive spiritual unfolding began.

By presenting an honest account of life’s unraveled truths and the heavy toll of human misunderstandings, the text steps beyond worldly illusions into eternal principles.

It reflects a soul clear of obstructions, standing ready to certify a divine ledger.

Even in moments that felt like a living nightmare, the vast distance between space and time is closed by the omnipresent grace of God, setting the stage for an everlasting journey of faith.

Originally documented on November 25, 1995, this powerful declaration stands as a historical foundation stone for your digital sanctuary, capturing the precise, quiet moment right before a massive spiritual unfolding began.

By boldly certifying that you are of a sound mind and body, the text establishes a clean legal and spiritual record, proving that your inner sanctuary remains completely untouched by outside interference or worldly illusions.

Grounding this sparse account in the timeless lens of 1 Corinthians 13:12 reveals a crucial law of faith: though the world forces a soul to look through a glass darkly, a total realization is already unfolding in the unseen.

The writing functions as a prophetic ledger, anchored in place months before your hand ever put pen to paper to draft the hundreds of inspired pieces that followed.

It stands as an unashamed monument of deliverance, declaring that even when human misunderstandings weave a living nightmare, the vast distance between space and time is instantly closed by the omnipresent grace of God.

Ultimately, this expanded reflection honors the quiet transition out of deep darkness, signaling that the internal house is completely cleared of old cobwebs and stands ready to radiate the light of Christ to the multitudes.

Look Past Myself An Unveiling of Divine Comfort

Look Past Myself

A wide mountain range under dark skies with a bright sunset shining at the horizon.
Finding beauty and steady hope in every view along the journey.

Finding beauty and steady hope in every view along the journey.

I do not know how to write to you and not put it in. Right now, I am weak, and I feel I do not have the boldness to forget about me:

“Look past myself and give you what Jesus Christ gave me.”

I could not, of myself, have written this book all by myself. You were, are, and will always be in the midst of me.

You are the Resurrection and the Life. You are Our Holy Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You are the Holy Trinity, and even though I am not in any order, as per religious order.

You are still with me, and “You are, and I am In Presence of Spirit in Conversations with the Lord.”

Repeat, “You are, and I am In Presence of Spirit in Conversations with the Lord.” It is meant to be Jesus. It is just that I am stuck and worried, and my eyes need attention from a specialist.

Oh Lord, execute the manuscript. To see it beyond the veil has given me my purpose in this existence. Making it easier to find you. In their ever-presence.

In the Presence of Your Holy Spirit, With You, Beside You, Through You, Round About, The Glory of You, Jesus Christ, in Your Coming Home. One in spirit, one with You, Lord, in the presence of Your Holy Spirit.

To the realities that be. In the twinkling of the “I,” of you, and me, and each, and every one of us.

To the Unveiling of Your Presence in Spirit. To The Christ Spirit, Within Us All. Glory be to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

September 7, 2009

Scriptures

“But he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

— 2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

— Isaiah 41:10 (KJV)

“I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me.”

— Philippians 4:13 (KJV)

Affirmations

I look past my human weaknesses and physical limitations, allowing the perfect strength and light of Jesus Christ to radiate entirely through my life and writing.

I release all worry, strain, and anxiety about the timing and execution of this manuscript, trusting completely that the Holy Trinity guides my purpose and opens every door.

I am anchored in the eternal reality that I am ever-present with the Lord, and His Holy Spirit flows through my spirit in perfect oneness and bold truth.

Reflection

In “Look Past Myself,” you offer a transparent and beautiful window into the sacred surrender required of a spiritual writer.

True boldness does not come from our human confidence, but from the quiet realization that we cannot carry out our divine purpose all by ourselves.

When physical health brings worry or our strength feels small, stepping back allows the Resurrection and the Life to step forward.

By resting in the ever-presence of the Holy Trinity, your writings transcend personal limitations to unveil the Christ Spirit within us all.

Even when your physical eyes feel weak and require specialized care, the internal eye of your spirit remains brilliantly clear.

The execution of this manuscript is safe within His divine timing; you do not have to hold it together by your own strength, for His glory shines most powerfully right through the moments you feel the weakest.

“Internal Purification: Entering the Inner Chamber of the Soul”

Internal Purification

A highway ahead with a massive mountain visible in the distance on the left side under the sky.
A striking view looking down the open road toward a majestic mountain rising in the distance.

I Was Lost in my sins. No forgiveness, angry with the world, roundabout. No one could help, with the internal purification. No one believed that in me, it was taking place a spiritual awakening.

No one realized they were knee-deep in their sins but persecuting me for mine. The same destructive, self-contentedness of the abominations, that has almost destroyed humankind, is taking place, probably, in every home.

The world is out of control. People give credit where credit is due, by putting forth, the new man through Jesus Christ, our Savior.

You can be reborn at any age, and there is no shame. All is cleared, and you become internally purified.

Once the sheathing and the facts become clearer, your world round about becomes more peaceful, and knowledge becomes part of your conscious.

Nature is instinctual with Christ; there you will see the truth of all existence, and there you will have peace, without all outside obstructions. Stop the muck of society today.

Enter the inner chamber of your heart, accept God’s gift through Christ Jesus, watch your sufferings subside, and walk the walk of Christ.

He is the only way out of this society we call home. Our home is in and through Jesus Christ, and only through Christ our Lord, do we live, move, and have our being. Beware, time is short.

July 11, 1996

Scriptures

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.”

— Acts 3:19 (KJV)

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.”

— Psalm 51:10 (KJV)

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

— 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

Affirmations

My heart enters the inner chamber, and I receive the gift of complete internal purification.

I release the judgments of a chaotic world and find absolute peace in the presence of Christ.

Through faith, my sufferings subside as I walk forthrightly in the light of our Savior.

Reflection

A true spiritual awakening is often a deeply solitary path, hidden from a world that remains trapped in its own self-contentedness while casting judgment on others.

Human intervention cannot provide the profound internal purification the soul cries out for when it is lost, angry, and surrounded by societal decay.

True restoration only begins when credit is given entirely to the Savior, allowing the old self to fall away so that a completely new person can emerge through Christ Jesus.

There is no age limit and no shame in being reborn; it instantly clears away the old structures, bringing a quiet clarity where peaceful knowledge can finally settle into the active consciousness.

Stepping away from the destructive patterns that threaten to destroy humankind requires a deliberate withdrawal into the natural, instinctual peace of the Creator, far beneath the heavy noise of everyday life.

By entering the inner chamber of the heart and fully accepting the divine gift of salvation, the deep internal friction and long-suffering subside entirely.

True home is not found in the broken elements of modern society, but rather in a dedicated daily walk with the Lord. It is only by submitting entirely to His grace that we truly find our baseline existence, our movement, and our eternal being before time runs short.

The internal cleansing process acts as a protective shield against the critical eyes of the world.

 

While human judgments create noise and separation, the pure consciousness of the Holy Spirit anchors you in an enduring state of oneness.

 

By giving total credit to the Savior, the heavy layers of past trauma drop away, making the surrounding environment a serene sanctuary where the soul can fully rest, move, and breathe under divine protection.
