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.
Selah, I.H.G.

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)

Selah, I.H.G.

The 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 you think.

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.

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.

Selah, I.H.G.

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.

Selah, I.H.G.

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.

Time and Eternity

The Heart of The Caleb Chronicles

Hear, Filled, See and Praise

My God Smiles

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.

The Caleb Chronicles: Fill Us

The Caleb Chronicles: Fill Us

Fill Us

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!

Selah, 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.
