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.

A Prayer


Father God,
In the Name of Your only begotten Son,
Jesus Christ,
My Savior, my Redeemer and my Friend,
I come before You, to give You thanks,
For all You have done,
For all You are doing,
And,
For all You are about to do.
Amen.
Selah,

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

Blessed Be the Name

Blessed be the Name:
Oh, Lord, full of glory,
You have illuminated my soul
And enlightened my mind.
You have filled my heart with love
 And my eyes with fire.

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
 Blessed is the Lord Most High,
Blessed is the Ancient of Days,
Blessed are You, oh God.
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.
Selah, I.H.G.

He's Already There

Oh, Timeless-One,
Where we go, You have already been,
You go before us and clear a path,
 We walk in Your way,
Victory is the only end. 

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

John 1:15 John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.'” (NLT)
Isa 45:2 “I will go before you and level mountains. Bronze doors I will shatter and iron bars I will hack through. (NET)

Where we are going . . . He’s already there.

Hold the Weak

Hold the Weak:
Wah’li’si then prayed a prayer of protection over Jessica and Petra. All three lifted their hands as she prayed:

“Mighty God, ruler of the universe and beyond.
Strong in battle, power with no end.
With the hands that hold the lightning, hold the weak.
With the arms that threw the stars in space, hold the weak.
With the breast that holds the breath of life, hold the weak.
Selah. Amen.”

The above is taken from, “The Garden” from, “The Caleb Chronicles”.
1Th 5:14-17 Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.
See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all
people. Always be joyful. Never stop praying. (NLV)
“Take tender care of the weak”. I love that translation. Don't judge the weak, don't condemn the weak, don't criticize the weak, but love the weak, comfort the weak, take tender care of the weak. Who are the weak? We are all weak in one way or the other, that's why we rely on the strength of Jesus. Now those who are lost, those who do not know Jesus, those who have fallen from the faith, those are the weakest of all. Let's take tender care of them. Let's take them the strength of Jesus, Selah, I.H.G.
