This Lenten season our Lord is inviting us to Close-the-Gap; the space between where we are and where God wants us to be is ours for the asking. Be sure to ask the right power for your petitions. Appeal to the Most-High through His-Living-Words and the Holy-Spirit will move closer to your Heart’s desire. Jesus is the Living-Word, His embrace flows through time and space holding fast to what belongs to God. Even the hardest of hearts belong to God, but those of us that were Baptized in Strength, Love and Righteousness cannot be Blessed outside the Christ.

The toughest soul can do the Most-High-Works by praising the Father; so much more the weakest entity be Brought-to-Blessings in Jesus name. The Pulpit is a platform to Spring-Forth Living-Waters; the Gap between Light and Darkness exists because we harken our own sinful desires. Let’s pause a moment and reference where we are in life. Ask yourself when the last Request-for-Freedom occurred were you closing the Gap to Salvation or giving in to the Evil desires of this World? Jesus will recognize our Baptism with Divine-Fruits and Loving-Actions from the Body in which we recite His Truth.  

At this time John the Baptist was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there; and people kept coming to him for baptism. (This was before John was thrown into prison.) A debate broke out between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over ceremonial cleansing. So, John’s disciples came to him and said, “Rabbi, the man you met on the other side of the Jordan River, the one you identified as the Messiah, is also baptizing people. And everybody is going to him instead of coming to us.”

John replied, “No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven. You yourselves know how plainly I told you, ‘I am not the Messiah. I am only here to prepare the way for him.’It is the bridegroom who marries the bride, and the bridegroom’s friend is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows. Therefore, I am filled with joy at his success.He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.

“He has come from above and is greater than anyone else. We are of the earth, and we speak of earthly things, but he has come from heaven and is greater than anyone else.He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but how few believe what he tells them! Anyone who accepts his testimony can affirm that God is true. For he is sent by God.

He speaks God’s words, for God gives him the Spirit without limit. The Father loves his Son and has put everything into his hands. And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” (John 3:23-35 NLT)

Today’s testimony is to reflect upon this Lenten season; a Season-for-Salvation of the Spirt dwelling in each one of us. Regardless of who disrupted our childhood, despite the Devil and those who trespass against us. Our loving Savior will proclaim justice for all who reside in His-Loving-Body. A Body bursting with Divine-Wisdom that is closing the realm of naysayers in preparation for their Eternal-Redemption.
