Adoration

Adoration


Oh, Timeless-One, You opened wide the Gates of Pearl,
You let me hear the mighty angels roar,
Songs of praise to You, Mighty One,
Songs of adoration oh, Glorious One,

Oh, Timeless-One, You broke my heart of stone,
You let me feel, you let me hear, you let me see, You let me know.
Your Love, Your Mercy, Your Grace and Power.
Your joy, my strength, my desire

Glory to the Timeless-One

An Altar Called Stillness

Altar Called Stillness:

After Eli’Zur left, Caleb went to the altar called Stillness. In his normal posture, he heart-linked with the Timeless-One. Afterward, he sang a song.

Oh, Timeless-One

Creator of all

Full of power

I hear the call.

You have no beginning

You have no end

You are wisdom

On You I depend.

The above is taken from, “Black Dome” from my book, The Caleb Chronicles.

Exo 14:13a And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD,

Job 37:14 "Listen to this, O Job; Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.

Psalm 4:4 In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts (meditate) and be silent (still). Selah

Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Altar in Hebrew is Mizbeach. It means, “Place of Slaughter”. Altar of Stillness is almost an oxymoron. Yes and no. On this altar we are going to slaughter our worries, or concerns, our fears, our trials, our temptations, our frustrations, our thoughts, our bitterness, and our grudges. We are going to stand still, be silent and listen. We are going wait upon the Lord and listen for His direction, His will, His Voice.

Yes, we need to give the Timeless-One praise and worship. We need to tell Him we love Him and bring our needs before Him, but sometimes we need to be silent and still, and listen.

Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD,

Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.

Search your hearts (meditate) and be silent (still). Selah

Be still, and know that I am God;

Go, and find a place with no distractions and no outside noise. Now, be still, search your heart (Heart-Link with the Timeless-One), be silent and listen. The Timeless-One will speak to you, He will tell you marvelous things.

Selah, I.H.G.

Of Thanksgiving

Of Thanksgiving

Of the littlest of gods

Of the littlest of gods:

Seated on a large log, Psalmus took a twig in his hand, leaned over, and stirred the fire. Burning embers flew through the night sky, disappeared, and were replaced by fireflies. Then he looked at Caleb and spoke once again,

When the littlest of gods

Raises his sword of hate

Against you

And spews his blackened fire

From his eyes To blind you,

Shout the Word!

Cry out the Name!

Lift your heel, And crush his head!

The Lord your God is With you.

The above is from the story, “The Psalmus” from The Caleb Chronicles.

Romans 16:20“The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you” NIV

In, “The Caleb Chronicles” Caleb and the people of High Rock refer to Satan as, “the littlest of gods”. There is only ONE TRUE LIVING GOD and He is the Creator of all and the Master of the Universe. He is the Father, He is the Son and He is the Holy Spirit. But, sad to say many, many people have other gods. Rather it is their job, money, physical fitness, their significant other, Buddha, Allah, Satan, and the earth, Mother Nature. By placing anything or anyone over, or before or instead of God is idolatry.

Exo 20:3"You shall have no other gods before Me.

So why is Satan referred to as “the littlest of gods”? Because he is a created being that wants to be the Creator, he is hate that wants to rule over the Author of Love, and he can speak nothing but lies about Truth.

A created being that wants to rule his Creator. That's like the letters I'm typing telling me they want to be the writer.

Of all the false gods, Satan is the littlest of them all, even though he is behind all false religions that has ever existed. He has said to the Potter, “I made myself. I will reign as Master Craftsman of the universe.”

The Timeless-One has promised that one day He will crush the littlest of gods under our feet. I wonder, will we all get a turn stomping on Satan's head. Hmm, I wonder.

A Champion's Heart

A Champion’s Heart:

When He (the Word) had finished speaking, He was lifted up into the heavens. Right before their eyes they saw a large circular tunnel made of pure white light leading straight through the Valley of Black Air. Caleb said to the others, “Come, let us go, for the Lord is our Shelter and our Strength.” As they walked through the tunnel of light, they could see on either side of them that there were thousands of mighty angels, standing side by side keeping the Dark Prince and the black air from touching them. About halfway through the tunnel Caleb and Wah’li’si led the others in another song of praise to the Timeless-One:

“You shelter Your servants

With Your mighty wings.

You hide us in the

Cleft of the Rock.

We walk in the midst

Of Your Glory.

Your Spirit has given us

A champion’s heart.”

Taken from the story, “The Contest” from, The Caleb Chronicles.

I Follower the Timeless-One. I am a Champion! Are you?

1Co 15:57, 58 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Of Angels

Of Angels:

Back in the city, Therion called a special meeting of the magicians’ counsel. The counsel consisted of six men. They met in the temple around a circle that was drawn on the floor. A blue glow came from the circle and surrounded the magicians. Therion spoke, “We must get rid of this man tonight! He is very dangerous. He has strong magic. Let us cast.” At that, they began casting spells. They called on the Goat of the Spirit to kill Caleb.

As Therion and the others did their evocations, demons emerged out of the floor from within the circle and flew out of the temple and out of the city. They were heading straight for Caleb. When the demons reached Caleb’s camp, they found Michael and about one hundred other angels standing around it. The demons stopped just outside the camp. Michael saw them and spoke in a sarcastic and demeaning tone, “Now, now little fellows, you’re not thinking of doing anything silly are you? No! I didn’t think so. Now, why don’t you little guys go on back from where you came, or we’ll send you there ourselves, okay?”

The above is taken from, “The Sound of Silence” from The Caleb Chronicles.

There is a story in the Old Testament where a servant saw an army surrounding the city. The servant was frightened and told Elisha about it. Elisha probably was a little frustrated with the servant, so he prayed.

2Ki 6:17 And Elisha prayed and said, "LORD, I pray you, open his eyes, that he may see." And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

The Timeless-One, our God and Creator is always watching over us. The Holy Spirit dwells in us to give us power and strength and comfort. Jesus is our Savior, our Advocate and Captain of the host of the Lord. God has dispatched His host, His angels to protect us from harm and to battle the evil and wicked powers of darkness for us.

Psalm 91:11For He shall give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways.

Mat 18:10"Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you that in Heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father who is in Heaven.

I believe each individual person has a specific angel sent out from the Timeless-One to guard us, to protect us and to battle against unseen forces that would harm us, physically, spiritually and emotionally.

There are angels all around us, good and bad. The good will always, always triumph.

Glory to the Timeless-One

Glory to the Timeless-One

God the Father, the Creator of all, is eternal. He has always been and will always be. He existed before there was darkness, before there was air, before there was sound, before angelic choirs shouted praises to Elohim. God dwells in eternity and so shall we will dwell with Him forever.

The Timeless-One, Who is our Father in Heaven inhabits eternity. He dwells where time does not exist. God has not been around for a long time, He has eternally existed.

From eternity to eternity Your Glory shines oh, Timeless-One.

Isaiah 57:15 For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Heaven's Kiss

Heaven's Kiss

Caleb said, “Gather around and lift up holy hands.” They all came in close together and lifted their hands toward heaven. Caleb said,

“When morning breaks, You greet us with heaven’s kiss.

At the heart of noonday, it’s the shade of heaven’s wings.

When night falls,

Your songs of love and grace comfort us.”

The above is from, “Corridors” from my book, The Caleb Chronicles.

Heavens' Kiss? Yeah, well. I know, this one is a little out there. Let me see if I can explain.

Psalm 85:10 Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Psalm 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings

Where does lovingkindness and truth come from? They come from Jesus. Jesus is Truth (John 14:6). Righteousness and Peace; Righteousness is what? Being in right standing with the Father. Peace comes from Jesus Christ.

James 3:18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Mat 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

Those who desperately want to be in right standing with God so much that they feel they can't live without it, the Father will fill them with Righteousness.

2Th 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Jesus gives us HIS peace. We in ourselves do not possess any peace. Jesus gives us peace, for He is the Lord of peace.

Psalm 42:8 The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me; A prayer to the God of my life.

Psalm 118:14 The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.

What is God's song? What song is the LORD? Whatever song comes to mind when you feel like praising the Lord. In times of despair God puts a song of comfort in your, mine, our heart. I believe, “God Gave Rock-n-Roll to You” is God's song, lol. There is power in music and there is Great Power in music that praises God.

Psalm 22:3 But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.

Not only is He our Song, but He sits Enthroned in our praises. WOW!

So, when we are in right standing with Father God, the Timeless-One, Jesus the Word fills us with HIS Peace, so then yours, mine, our hearts are neither troubled nor afraid. He hides us from evil with His mighty wings, so then we are comforted by our Song, Jesus.

I kind of drifted from the kiss of heaven a little bit. Back in Psalm 85:10 it said, “Righteousness and Peace have kissed.”

Psalm 85:10 Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

I like to think, every morning, those who are in Right Standing with the Timeless-One are greeted with a kiss on the forehead from the Lord of Peace, Jesus as He says, “Wake, My child, My friend, for this is the day I have made. Now, rejoice and be glad in it.” Just a thought.

Amazing Love Indeed

Amazing Love indeed:

In an instant, they were just one hundred feet from the Village of Fences, still kneeling in a circle. Then the light shot up into heaven. The voice came to them again saying, “It is their time.” Wah’li’si broke out in a song of praise:

Holy is the Lord,

And worthy to be praised.

Holy is the Lord,

His majesty reigns.

He’s shown us a mystery,

He’s shown us truth,

He’s given us wisdom,

And made our hearts brand new.

Oh, the mystery of Your love,

The hidden treasures of Your heart.

One ounce of Your living water,

Satisfies a thousand galaxies

Selah. Amen! Everyone, amen.

Caleb said, “The windows of heaven have been opened. A blessing has been poured out on us.” Everyone said, “Amen.”

The above is from the story, “Liquid Christ” from my book The Caleb Chronicles.

Isa 6:3 And one cried unto another and said, "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory."

In Isaiah 6:3, Isaiah sees the Lord high and lifted up on the throne in the Temple. He saw seraphim above the throne crying out to one another, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory." And in Revelation 4:8 we have the seraphim still in full worship.

Rev 4:8 And each one of the four living creatures had six wings about him, and within being full of eyes. And they had no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Almighty, who was and is and is to come.

In the song above, Wah'li'si declares, “Holy is the Lord, And worthy to be praised, Holy is the Lord, His majesty reigns.” My Lord and Savior is Holy and worthy to be praised. My Lord and King reigns, will reign, and will eternally reign.

She also declares, “And made our hearts brand new.” Amazing! How can God take a wicked, sinful wretched heart, full of pride and hate, and make it clean and new? I don't know, but He did it, He does it and He will keep on doing it. I know, it happened to me.

Wah'li'si also states, “Oh, the mystery of Your love, The hidden treasures of Your heart.” It is a mystery how and why God loves us. His creation, His people, His children time and time again, reject Him, turn away from Him, deny Him, blaspheme His Name, refuse His Love, curse Him and have even murdered Him, and yet He still and always will love us. Amazing Love indeed.

Selah, I.H.G.

i Heart- Link

i Heart-Link

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 taken from, “The Invitation” from, The Caleb Chronicles.

The Heart-Link with the Timeless-One is Prayer. Prayer is talking with God, communing with our Father in heaven and giving Him adoration.

The Heart-Link is done by lifting hands and eyes toward heaven.

The hands are palms up; 1. In surrender to Gods will. 2. Ready to receive from the Lord.

The mouth is opened, but no words are spoken. God hears our silent cries, our every thought and our deepest moans. (1 Samuel 1:13 and Romans 8:26.)

A smoke-like vapor rises. This is the incense of the Heart-Link, which is the prayer itself. (Revelation 5:8)

Praying to God can be done anywhere, any time and any place. It can be done standing, sitting, laying, driving, jogging, bathing, singing, working etc, etc. It can be done with words, without words, loud, soft, whispering, crying, laughing so on and so on. There are no rules in talking to our Father in Heaven, the Heart-Link is just the way Caleb and the people of High-Rock pray to the Timeless-One. I think it's a cool way to pray though. Right?

Pray loud, Pray silent. Just Pray. i Heart-Link

You have filled my heart with love

 And my eyes with fire.

Blessed be the name of the Lord,

The story: “Liquid Christ”

From: The Caleb Chronicles

Eph 1:17-19 I pray 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,

the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power,

Yeshuah Jesus is the Light that shines in the darkness (John 1:5), and the Light that illuminates our hearts and souls.

Yeshuah Jesus is Light, and where there is the Light, there is Life. Eternal Life.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord, Blessed is the Lord Most High, Blessed is the Ancient of Days, Blessed are You, oh God.
