Ancient Skies - A Prayer


Oh, Holy One, You ride the ancient skies,
You fill my being with fire,
I look to the heavens,
And wait for Your triumphant return.

1 COR 1:18

1Co 1:18, 19  For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
 For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."
Selah, I.H.G.

Friend of God

Friend of God:


Psalmus stopped and turned around. With a loud voice and outstretched arms, he said to Caleb, “Caleb. Warrior. High Priest! Slayer of demons! Friend of God!”

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

John 15:12-15 "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
"You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
"No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

Did Buddha call his followers friends? Do Muslims call Mohammad friend? Do you think Satan calls his followers “friends”? I don't know, but what I do know is that Jesus calls us His friends. I find that awesome. You, me, us, we are friends of the Most High God, the Creator the universe. And because He calls us friends, He laid down His life for us. Isn't that amazing. Almighty God gave His life, so His friends wouldn't have to. That, is a true Friend.
Remember:
We are Warriors in a Holy War.
We are Priest's in the Church of God.
We are to cast out demons and heal the sick.
We are Friends of God.
In Jesus Name.

Aliens, take a few more:

Aliens, take a few more:


We are looking for our friends that your Dark Eyes pulled in here,” Caleb replied sternly.
Mm hm, mm hm. Well, they now . . . belong to us. They . . . are home . . . now. Mm hm, mm hm,” said the demon.
Listen, little demon—” replied Caleb.
The demon interrupted, “My . . . name is . . . Plague.”
Caleb continued, “Listen, little demon, we are going to find my brother and our friends and leave with them. And we might take a few more people with us!”
You . . . may be . . . high priest at . . . High Rock . . . but . . . you are . . . aliens here! And . . . you . . . will die . . . here!” screamed Plague with much anger.

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

1. We are aliens here:
1Pe 2:11 Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. (NASB)
John 8:23 And He was saying to them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. (NASB)

2. We are Priests and Warriors:
Rev 1:5, 6 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood--
and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father-to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (NASB)
2Co 10:3, 4 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. (NASB)

As Aliens, we are not “earth dwellers”, those who make this planet their home, but rather we are of a different world, a different society with different rules. We don't abide by the laws of the flesh, but rather we abide by the Word of the Lord, and His Word says, “Preach the Gospel” and “Make disciples of all people”.

As Priests and Warriors we are always teaching the Word through our actions, our words and behavior. And, we are always at war with the physical, with spiritual forces and our own thoughts.

We are Alien Priest Warriors on a mission to bring Yeshuah Jesus to the “earth dwellers” and to help them out of the “Black Dome”, earth.
There is never enough going to heaven so, Aliens let's take a few more with us.

Of Numbers 6:24-26

Of Numbers 6:24-26


"The LORD bless you and keep you;

The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;

The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace."
(Numbers 6:24-26)

Bless—To make happy; to make successful; to prosper; to be blessed with peace and plenty.
Psa 1:1-3 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

Keep—To hold; to retain in one's power or possession; not to lose or part with;

Shine – Radiance, Gleam, Glow, Brightness

Gracious—Favorable; kind; benevolent; merciful; disposed to forgive offenses and impart unmerited blessings.

Countenance—Literally, the contents of a body; the outline and extent which constitutes the whole figure or external appearance. Appropriately, the human face; the whole form of the face, or system of features; visage.

Peace—In a general sense, a state of quiet or tranquility; harmony; freedom from disturbance or agitation; applicable to society, to individuals, or to the temper of the mind.

Numbers 6:24-26 with word meanings:

The LORD bless you (make you happy, successful, prosperous ad bring you peace and plenty) and keep you (hold you and prevent from leaving)
The LORD make His face shine (radiate, gleam glow and illuminate) upon you, and be gracious to you (favorable, kind, benevolent, merciful and forgiving).
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you (His face, visage, appearance), and give you peace (tranquility and harmony).

Of the Three

Of the Three:

High Rock is a community of about three thousand people. Surrounded by a protective force, it lies in the middle of Mount Triune, which cannot be found on any map because the Timeless-One has hidden it from the world. In the day it looks as though it is raining crystals and silver flakes; at night, it looks as though it is on fire. The people call this “the protective hand of the Timeless-One.” No evil can enter High Rock, unless allowed by the Timeless-One, and then the evil has no power.



The above is from the Introduction, from The Caleb Chronicles.



Mount Triune, where the Village of High Rock lies is symbolic of the Holy Trinity. I know the Holy Trinity is controversial in some circles, but I myself do believe in the Trinity. The word “trinity” is not in the Bible, but the concept is; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Mat 28:19 Go you therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,

In Genesis 1:1 the Hebrew word for God is Elohim, which is plural. Then in Genesis 1:26 it says, “Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;” God is not talking to angels, because angels do not have the ability to create. No, this is the Unity of the Godhead, the Trinity, the Three, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.



The introduction to The Caleb Chronicles says, that High Rock sits right in the middle of Mount Triune. So, High Rock is precious, valued, and important to the Timeless-One, just as we are. Not only does Elohim, the Triune God watch over us as a cherished treasure, but He, the Trinity dwells in our very being.

Rev 3:20 (Jesus speaking) `Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
John 14:20 (Jesus speaking) "In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
1Co 3:16 Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Rom 8:9-11 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Luke 4:1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness

Or, we can say, Christ is dwelling in the Father, we are dwelling in Christ, and Christ is dwelling in us. The Holy Spirit dwells in Christ, Christ dwells in us, we dwell in the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit dwells in us. Wow!

Eph 3:19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.



2Co 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
