The Only Way
The Only Way
You never forget Your servant,
You never forsake Your child,
You are with me in the calm times,
You are with me in the trial.
Blessed is the Timeless-One,
Blessed is Your name,
Blessed is the Timeless-One,
Holy is Your name.
You delivered me from evil,
You delivered me from pain,
You sheltered me from death,
You are the only way.
The above is from, “The Invitation” from The Caleb Chronicles.
This is a simple prayer, just to let the Timeless-One our Father in heaven know that we know He is always with us and that He is our deliverer.

Anointed, Sealed and Filled
Anointed,
Sealed and Filled
Then
the voice of the Timeless-One echoed in their ears,
“Blessed
are you, and anointed.
Blessed
are you, and sealed.
Blessed
are you, and filled.”
From,
“The Garden” from
The Caleb Chronicles.
Anointed-
Smeared
or rubbed with oil; set apart; consecrated with oil.
Consecrated-separated
from a common to a sacred use; devoted or dedicated to the service
and worship of God; made venerable.
When
we asked Jesus to forgive us of our sins and to come into our hearts,
the Timeless-One anointed us by covering us with the blood of the
Lamb and separating us from the rest of the world.
2Co
1:21Now
He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is
God,
Sealed-fastened
with a seal; confirmed; closed.
When
a king finishes a letter, he folds
it gently, places it in an envelope and seals it with his mark. It
is finished and it is of him.
When
we are anointed with the blood of the Lamb, we have been marked,
sealed and confirmed His, and only His.
2Co
1:22
who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a
guarantee.
Filled-Made
full; supplied with abundance.
Before
we come to the Lord we are empty of God, yet full of carnal appetites
that just doesn't satisfy.
Now
that we are in Christ, Christ is in us. Now, we are being filled with
all the fullness of God.
Eph
3:19
to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be
filled with all the fullness of God.
Know,
that if you are a follower of the Timeless-One that,
you
are Anointed, you are Sealed and you are Filled.
You
are Set-apart, you are Confirmed and you are Overflowing with all the
Abundance of God.
Selah,
I.H.G.

Of Chains
Of Chains:
Eli’Zur, Logan,
Christopher, and Wah’li’si heart-linked with the Timeless-One.
Caleb put his hands to his chest, and after about a minute, he thrust
his hands out toward the men. The fire shot out from Caleb’s hands
and covered the men like volcanic lava. The men fell unconscious as
the fire lifted them off the ground. The chains melted and
disappeared before hitting the ground. The fire let the men down
gently onto their feet, and they immediately fell to their knees and
lifted their hands in worship. They thanked the Timeless-One for
releasing them from bondage and for giving them a new spirit.
The men's chests
glowed, for their hearts were on fire. Before Caleb and the others
left, he spoke to the men saying, “The Timeless-One says you are
healed. Now go, and do not look for your chains. Feel the fire that
burns in you, and never forget this day. This is your Day of Praise.
Now go and show yourselves to your families.”
The above is
from, “The Contest” from The Caleb Chronicles.
Chains are used
to bind, to restrain, to hold, to restrict and to limit. That is the
same way sin works. Sin holds us back from truly knowing Jesus Christ
and His will. Sin restricts our ability to serve the Lord in the way
He has appointed for us. And sin sets limits where the Timeless-One
has given freedom and limitless access to the Throne-room of Glory.
Satan and his demons have their hands in the construction of these
chains, but so many times we make our own chains out of shame, quilt,
grudges and lust.
It's time we
break these chains that bind and hold us back from truly living and
abundant life in Christ, and move on to the PRIZE.
John
10:10
"The
thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I
have come that they may have life, and that they may have it
more abundantly.
(NKJV)
John
10:10
The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is
to give life in all its fullness. (NLT)

following is a song I wrote a number of years ago called, “On My
Mountain”. Take a read, I think it's kind of relevant. Tell me what

Psalm 139:12
Psalm 139:12 even the darkness is not dark to You. And the night is as
bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to You.
There is no darkness in God. He cannot see darkness, for when He looks into the dark all becomes illuminated, all becomes visible, all becomes known. Darkness cannot exist where there is Light.

No Distractions
No Distractions:
Caleb
stood to his feet and walked around the men, putting his hands on
their shoulders and speaking, “It will be dangerous. You must stay
in constant heart-link with the Timeless-One. There must be no
distractions and no fear! The enemy is strong, but the Timeless-One
will go before us. We will be victorious.”
The above is
taken from, “The Black Dome” from, The Caleb Chronicles.
Our mission is to
tell the world about Yeshuah Jesus. To tell them about His love for
them and about what He did for them because He loves them so much.
Sometimes this can be dangerous and can get physical. But, we can't
get distracted about what “could” happen. We can have “NO FEAR”
because, the Timeless-One goes before us to set it all up. We will be
victorious, but there may be scars.
Mar
16:15
And He said to them, "Go
into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mat
10:27, 28
"Whatever
I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the
ear, preach on the housetops.
"And
do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But
rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Luke
10:40-42
But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him
and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to
serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."
And
Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha,
Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.
"But
one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will
not be taken away from her."
Our
concern should be to serve the Lord and fulfill our mission with
no distractions and no fear.
Let's
leave
the rest to God.
Selah,
I.H.G.

Of the God-shaped Hole
Of the God-shaped
Hole
Wah’li’si
was a woman of High Rock whom the Timeless-One had blessed with an
extra portion of His Fire. Her singing blessed all those who heard
her, and her dancing greatly pleased the Timeless-One. Her beauty was
pure and she looked as though she had bathed in light. At thirty
years of age, she was a leader among the women. All the young girls
wanted to grow up to
be just like her. “Desire the Timeless-One, for He will give you
the fire. Desire me, and you will always want,” she would softly
tell them.
The
above is taken from, “The Contest” from The Caleb Chronicles.
Wah'li'si
is based on my wife, Claudine. Wah'li'si is Claudine's Cherokee name
and means, “Sweet as
a honeydew”.
Wah'li'si is
the spiritual leader to the children of High-Rock. She is a dancer, a
singer and a warrior.
In the book I'm working on now, Wah'li'si uses more of her native language. It's a challenge to write using the Cherokee words, and it's fun as well.
In the book I'm working on now, Wah'li'si uses more of her native language. It's a challenge to write using the Cherokee words, and it's fun as well.
Here,
Wah'li'si says, “Desire the Timeless-One, for He will give you the
fire. Desire me, and you will always want.” If we desire anything
over the Timeless-One, over Yeshuah Jesus, over His Mighty Holy
Spirit we will always be in want. We will always be searching for
something to fill that God-shaped hole in our heart. Oh, and there is
absolutely nothing that can fill that hole like the One Who made it.
Psalm
73:25, 26
Whom
have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth.
My
health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the
strength of my heart; he is mine forever. (NLT)
Exo
15:11
"Who
is like You among the gods, O LORD? Who is like You, majestic in
holiness, Awesome in praises, working wonders?
Desire
the only God that works wonders, that creates and doesn't imitate.
Desire
the only God that has eyes that see, for His eyes see into our
innermost being, into our very soul.
Desire
the only God that has ears that hear, for He hears our silent, sighs
and groans, and our very thoughts.
Desire
the only God that has a mouth that speaks, for He says, “I love
you.”
Desire
the only God that has a heart, for His heart beats with a rhythm that
keeps the universe in motion.
Desire
the Timeless-One for He can fill the God-shaped hole.

Great and Powerful
Great
and Powerful:
Great
and powerful are You, Timeless-One.
You
deliver us
And
never tire
Holy
and worthy of paise
We
shout for joy
You
hear us
We
give You the glory.
The
above is from, “The Black Dome” from The Caleb Chronicles.
Psalm
145:3Great
is the LORD, and highly to be praised, And His greatness is
unsearchable. (NASB)
Psalm
145:3
Great is ADONAI and greatly to be praised; his greatness is beyond
all searching out. (Complete
Jewish Bible)
Psalm
145:3
Great is Yahweh, and praised exceedingly, And as to His greatness
there is no fathoming." (Concordant
Literal Version)
Psalm
145:3
Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! His greatness is
beyond discovery! (NLT)
The
LORD's Greatness is unsearchable, is beyond discovery, is
unfathomable,
is
incomprehensible. How
can this Great, Eternal and Awesome God of the universe and beyond;
the Creator of all that is, love such a screw-up like me? He does
though. He loves you, me, us, the world.
The
Timeless-One is Great and Powerful. He
is Holy and worthy to be praised. We should praise Him for His
greatness, His power, His might and most
of all, His
Love. He is worthy of
all our praise.

The 9
The 9
I realized as I was studying some occult material for my next “The Caleb Chronicles” book that the Bible declares nine fruit of the Spirit, nine gifts of the Spirit and nine Beatitude statements of Jesus, but also The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey lists 9 Satanic Statements. Hmm. So, I made a chart of this, take a look. This is very revealing of the mindset of the occultist.

Of Being Set Apart
Of
Being Set Apart:
As
he lifted his hands and eyes to the Timeless-One, he opened his
mouth. Although there were no words, a smoke-like
vapor rose from him. This was the incense of the heart-link to the
Timeless-One. The heart-link
was, and is, a very sacred and important practice for the people of
High Rock—a people set apart from the rest of the world for the
service and worship of the Timeless-One.
The
above is from, “The Invitation” from The Caleb Chronicles.
The
Heart-Link is how Caleb and the people of High-Rock pray to the
Timeless-One, our God and Creator.
Caleb
and the people of High-Rock have been set apart from the rest of the
world for the service and worship of the Timeless-One. We too as
followers of the Timeless-One our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ
His only begotten Son, are set apart from the world. What does that
mean?
1Co
6:11
There was a time when some of you were just like that, but now your
sins have been washed away, and you have been set apart for God. You
have been made right with God because of what the Lord Jesus Christ
and the Spirit of our God have done for you. (NLT)
Heb
10:10
By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the
body of Jesus Christ once for
all.
Being
set apart is to be sanctified. When we follow Jesus we have been
sanctified, set apart from the rest of the world as a special prize,
a treasure, the
bride of Christ, our Savior and King.
We
are no longer part of this world of sin, hate and filth. We have been
forgiven of ALL sin, filled with the agape love of Christ and have
been
made clean.
The
Timeless-One has set us aside as His very own, as His very own
people, strange and alien-like, that no longer belong here on this
earth.
Deu
7:6
"For you are
a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you
to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples
on the face of the earth.
Remember,
you are special, you are set apart, and cherished as a priceless
treasure. The Timeless-One has made you into a beautiful spotless
bride, adorned in perfection. You, me, we are His.

King of Glory
King
of Glory
We
give thanks to You,
Oh,
Timeless-One.
You
have shown us mercy,
And
much love.
We
give You praise,
And
worship only You.
You
are the Victor, Once again,
King
of Glory.
Amen.
Taken
from the story, “The Garden” from The Caleb Chronicles.
“Lift
up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the
King of glory may come in”.
Who
is
this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in
battle.
Who
is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is
the King of glory. Selah (Psalm
24:7, 8, 10 NIV)
Who
is this King of Glory? He is the King of the Jews, the King of the
saints, the King of all the earth, the King of the nations, the King
of kings and the Lord of lords, Jesus Christ the Messiah.

The Brothers
The Brothers:
Sitting here
thinking about my sons, Caleb and Zechariah Logan who went on before
me to be with the Timeless-One. It was hard to take when they left so
soon, so early, so quick. Zechariah Logan left before we got to see
him, and Caleb went just two and a half months after he arrived.
Sometimes I
think about what they would be like today, if they were still here on
this earth. But, then I realize, they are both more
than they would ever be here. They are both “Mighty Men of God”
who worship continually in the presence of the Timeless-One. What
more can a parent want for their child, but to be mighty in worship,
mighty in spirit, and always talking and listening to the Lord.
Caleb and
Zechariah Logan are both with the Timeless-One, but I will see them
again, that's for sure. They both play a part in my book, The Caleb
Chronicles as brothers and warriors of the Timeless-One, fighting
evil and sharing the love of Christ. If they were here today, I
believe they would be like fierce lions of faith on this earth before
the Lord. Sharing Gods love and His limitless grace, just as they are
in The Caleb Chronicles.
I miss you
both, but only for a short time.
Selah, I.H.G.

GO!
Go:
As
they all slept, this “holy regime” all had the same dream. They
stood
in the temple yard in a circle with their hands held high, palms up.
The Word then came down from on high and stood in the middle of them
and said, “Go and remove the mask. Go and open the eyes. Go with
hearts of fire. Go and trample the fences and the evil under feet.
Go! You shall not walk! For I will take you! It is time!” Then they
all woke up at the same time. It was morning.
The above is from
the story, “Liquid Christ” from The Caleb Chronicles.
In the story “Liquid
Christ” from The Caleb Chronicles, Caleb and his holy regime are
going to the Village of Fences to expose the works of the littlest
of gods (Satan) and release the people of the village from the spell
they are under.
We too are on the
this same mission.
Mat
28:19-20
"Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
"teaching
them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am
with you always, even
to the end of the age."
Amen.
When
Jesus spoke, He didn't give suggestions, multiple choices, ideas
or hints of what to do. When He said, “Love one another”, then we
are to love one another. When
He said, “Fear not”, the we are not to fear or worry. When
He said, “Go and make disciples”, then we are
to go
and make disciples. Right?
When
we do this we need to;
1.
Go
and remove the mask; We need to remove the mask of the enemy. Show
the people the true face of the littlest of gods. His tricks and lies
are beautiful, but but his sin and rewards are destruction.
2.
Go and open the eyes; When we go, we take with us prayer, the truth
of the Word and the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. The Holy Spirit
will open the eyes.
3.
Go with hearts of fire; Go with excitement, with joy and boldness. Go
with the Fire of the Holy Spirit that burns within our hearts.
4.
Go and trample the fences and the evil under feet. With the power of
the Holy Spirit we will trample fences, walls and any barrier that
the evil one has set up to keep the
Word of Truth
out.
5.
Go!

I.H.G.

What is in the Heart
What
is in the Heart?
Luke
6:45
"A
good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and
an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil.
For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
1. Love,
Compassion, Blessing, Understanding, Forgiveness, Mercy, Truth
2. Gossip, Envy,
Hate, Cursing, Unforgiving, Back-biting, Negativity, Lies
Deu
5:28a
"Then the LORD heard the voice of your words when you spoke to
me, and the LORD said to me: '
As
a result of what is in your heart, brings a voice to your words. My
words have a voice? Oh, yes. Take a listen to your words when you
speak, and listen to their voice. Words have of life, words have
power. They can bring life or death, blessing or cursing, mercy or
punishment.
Words
come the heart. What is in your heart? What is in my heart? How is
your heart?
James
3:10
Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren,
these things ought not to be so.
