John 3:16

"The Story", from The Caleb Chronicles is all about John 3:16.

OIL:

Oil:

Then one by one, angels came down from heaven and stood by each of them. Each angel held a golden bowl. 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.”

As the Lord spoke, the angels each dipped their forefinger into the bowl they held, then held their finger over the person they stood by. A sweet oil fell from their finger onto each person’s heart. From head to toe Caleb and the others were covered with the sweet anointing oil from God. The Timeless-One continued speaking,

“Go to battle and win. Go to rescue, and save.

Go to conquer, and destroy.”

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

The word for anointed in Hebrew is, mishchâh, which means to smear or spread a liquid. The Hebrew word for oil is, shemen, and it means grease or liquid like from an olive.

In the language of Scripture, the word Anointed is a very important word. It means the consecrating, setting apart, and sanctifying, in a peculiar manner, persons or things to sacred purposes. Therefore, in a very important and personal degree, the Lord Jesus Christ, as the Christ of God, is emphatically called the Messiah, or anointed of JEHOVAH. His name, Messiah, means this. It is, indeed, the same word in Hebrew, as Anointed in English.

Oil in Scripture is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. Those filled with the Holy Spirit give off light, emanate joy and gladness.

Psalm 45:7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.

Isa 61:3 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."

2Co 1:21, 22 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,

who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

So, you are, I am, we are smeared, covered, wrapped, sheltered by and with the Holy Spirit and Jesus the Messiah, in that we are set apart from the world as His very own. We now are smeared with, covered with, and sealed with Light, with Joy and Gladness in that He saturates us, so that All seeps down in to our bodies, into our hearts and into our very souls. Now, there is no question of who we are, and who's we are.

Of Action:

Of Action:

Caleb looked at Wah’li’si and said, “Let’s head back to the temple.” When they arrived at the temple yard, the Timeless-One stood in the middle of the yard in the form of a pillar of white fire. Caleb and Wah’li’si fell to their knees and put their faces to the ground. The Lord spoke to Caleb. “The heavens rejoice over your deeds, and the way you serve your God and your people. They say, ‘There’s a man of God, a man of action, and a man of love.’ Heaven knows we can count on you and the people of High Rock.”

Caleb and Wah’li’si remained kneeling and did not move. Wah’li’si did not hear the Timeless-One speak. “Caleb, my beloved servant,” continued the Lord, “the littlest of gods has sent his disciples of deception to the Village of Fences.” The white pillar of fire turned dark scarlet, and then the Timeless-One spoke again.

“Caleb, High Priest, stand and receive beautiful wisdom. She will burn as the Holy Spirit burns within you.” Caleb stood and lifted his hands to the sky, palms up. Just then, the pillar of scarlet fire rose in the air and moved to hover over Caleb. The Lord spoke with a loud voice saying, “Receive!” The

fire fell on Caleb then quickly shot up to heaven.

Caleb remained there with his hands still lifted high. His hair was dripping wet with oil. Wah’li’si slowly rose to her feet. She saw that the pillar of fire was gone and looked over at Caleb. She knew he had been with God. Caleb brought his hands down. He looked at Wah’li’si and said, “We must go to the Village of Fences.”

The above is from, “Liquid Christ” from The Caleb Chronicles.

Does Heaven know, does Heaven see you as a person of God? A person of action and of love? Can the Timeless-One the God of the Universe and even beyond the furthest regions depend on you? Selah. That's something to think on, dwell on, and meditate on.

There is an old cliché that goes, “Actions speak louder than words.”

Faith is of God:

Ephesians 4:13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

Faith is a verb: A word of action. If we have faith, we act on that faith and move mountains.

James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Faith and love are of and in Christ:

1Ti 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

1Jn 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

The world needs to know that the Timeless-One dwells in us, by our love and faith in action. Let's not just say we know God, we have faith, we have love. Let's act on it. Let's show it. Let's live it.

Rom 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

Freedom

Offering of Fire

This is another song I wrote for my Christian Rock Opera trilogy + 1. The opera is called, “Of Splendor and Wickedness”, subtitled, “In the Days of the Reaper”. The Opera opens with a man taken to Heaven and God showing him how He created the Heavens and the earth. Then, he is transported in to the future to see the tribulation period and then finally, the Millennial Reign of Christ and what happens after. So, here's a song from from part one, “The Awakening”. The song, “Offering of Fire”

We, have some of these songs recorded, I'll try to download some and you can tell me what you think.

Selah, I.H.G.

Song: Offering of Fire

“I come into your presence,

I fall down to my knees,

I lift my voice in adoration

To worship my King.

This heart is set ablaze,

My praises go higher and higher,

A sacrifice of praise to you,

An offering of fire

(Offering of fire)

To worship You in spirit,

To worship You in truth,

That’s why I’ve come to this place,

That’s what I’m gonna do.

Let’s make our voices loud,

Our praises go higher and higher,

We worship You, oh-Lord,

Take this offering of fire

(Offering of fire)

Oh, our spirit burns for You,

Hear your holy choir,

Fervent praise and adoration,

In this offering of fire

(Repeat)

All Power and All Glory

All Power and all Glory:

Still holding his ears, he turned around looking in all directions. Then he fell to his knees, lifted his hands toward heaven, and said in a loud voice,

“Oh, Timeless-One! All power and glory belongs to You.

Oh, Timeless-One! You are before time, and You will be after time.

At Your Word, time obeys.

Guide Your servant; lead me down the right path.

Fill Your servant with every right word.

Oh, Timeless-One, all power and all glory belongs to You!”

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

Power and Glory. Have you ever thought about those two words.

Power in Hebrew is; Koach meaning, firm; vigor, force

Glory in Hebrew is; Kabod – Heavy, Honor: Something that is heavy in weight, abundance, importance or respect.

The last part of our Lords prayer goes, “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” So, what is being said is, For His Kingdom, His reign, His dominion is His. It is Power, Koach, it is firm, it is a force. It is Glory, Kabod, it is heavy and full of abundance forever. Amen, So be it. And because of this, His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. He will give us this day our daily bread. He will forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And we will not be led into temptation, and He will deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Mat 6:9-13 "In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.

And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the

power and the glory forever. Amen.
