Jesus is the most gentle encounter you can have - I did - and He Is On Our Side.
And yes, the words of Scripture are to be read and absorbed into your souls DIRECTLY, it is not an intellectual exercise of any kind. But of course you need to open your eyes before you can read. IT IS OBVIOUS.
Oh and HOW they have been opened! Even more so recently. It has been an experience I can’t describe. I was reminded of WHO I am when I heard Gratitude played and I had never heard it before. I was wearing a LION T-shirt, use the name Courageous Lion, had a band called Judah’s Praise and heard this at the fellow ship I was thinking of attending and had asked for a sign…Think this fit the sign? This was repeated three times!
o come on my soul, oh, don't you get shy on me Lift up your song, 'cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs Get up and praise the Lord Oh, come on my soul, oh, don't you get shy on me Lift up your song, 'cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs Get up and praise the Lord Come on my soul, oh, don't you get shy on me Lift up your song, 'cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs Get up and praise the Lord
Before I listen to your praise, and I swear I will after this comment is written, I just want you to know, Brother Lionheart, that YES, YOU ARE THERE WITH US IN CHRIST. For yes Christ sends signs to those He loves and knows can receive them. He belongs to another realm so we often do not see Him directly THEREFORE He uses signs to communicate and create action in us. CHRIST WANTS US TO ACT, NOT JUST SIT THERE WITH OUR HANDS IN OUR LAP. And yes, I totally understand you when you say you find it hard to describe, so do I. My own experience with Him was when I was homeless which lasted for over two years. JESUS CAME TO ME, I FELL TO THE GROUND, STARTED TO PRAY IMMEDIATELY. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I SAID. THE WORDS JUST CAME OUT, ONE AFTER THE OTHER. THIS WAS PRAISE TOO. THEN HE PUT HIS HAND ON MY HEART, UNDERNEATH MY SKIN, AND ALL I COULD UTTER WAS THIS ONE WORD: GENTLE. '
I SWEAR BROTHER, I NEVER EVER HAD SUCH AN EXPERIENCE BEFORE.
YES! YES! YES! What a wonderful testimony of the love he sends us! Another one for you! You describe a encounter so much like mine. I had put my CD in the car player. I hadn't listened to it for 15 years or more. When I was listening to " I Don't Care Where You've Been Sleeping" something powerful came to me through the very words that I was singing in that song.
Thank you. The reason I believe you are right is because of the platforms out there to check your ancestral DNA, so that 'they' can find those that are truly the 'lost' tribe of Israel(the true tribe), a threat. Definitely looking for 'something', if not only to categorize and put you into a data base so you could be made later, even if digitally. Just a thought.
That's interesting. Apparently there is a connection between our creator and those lost tribe members that exists because of the status Yahweh created us to be.
If I was god, and looking down on the earth full of violence, and needed to give them a messenger to teach them to behave civil towards each other? I can send one to the desert dwellers, but, not all my messengers? Why ? Because the densely populated part of the earth is in Asia.
The fact that "god" sent all his messengers to the ME, and even chose a tribe to love more the others renders this story to be a concussion by the ME people. If the Chinese people have written the Bible, I am sure that chosen people would be the Chinese people.
You have some viable points. However…you must not have ever had an experience that could relate to the one I had or many others have had. It could be that the ME people are ones that have something special in their makeup. Something that sets them apart by DNA or some other attribute that attracts them to the Christ understanding. As a “believer” I still struggle with many portions of the Bible because my reason, logic and common sense come into play. I have a hard time just accepting something because some preachers says ”You have to believe it on faith, Mark. And leave your reason, logic and common sense at the front door!” And of course what I am to believe is what the preacher claims is the truth.
The big question that arises is how did so many of the teachings of the Lord become part of the world scene? It is only since they have been being ignored that things have gone sour. The common law which was based on scripture has been trash canned for statutory “law” that makes crimes out of victimless acts and in many cases felonies out of them. The simplest of all understandings…LOVE YOUR CREATOR with ALL YOUR HEART, MIND, BODY and SOUL and LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. I see the KINGDOM in that short sentence. But there is an issue…so many DO NOT love themselves in the right way. I don’t mean narcissistic love. I mean being willing to accept who they are as long as they harm no other.
True.
Keep roaring.
We hear you.
You have sisters and brothers everywhere.
Jesus is the most gentle encounter you can have - I did - and He Is On Our Side.
And yes, the words of Scripture are to be read and absorbed into your souls DIRECTLY, it is not an intellectual exercise of any kind. But of course you need to open your eyes before you can read. IT IS OBVIOUS.
SO OPEN THEM.
AND ROAR.

Dear Mark,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC.
I wept while listening, yes.
I could not ever think of any other altar I would bow down to if not that of Our Savior.
Mark, you have been blessed with a very direct way to reach the hearts of people: Your voice.
Your voice is beautiful, and yes, your music is the kind I love.
WILL YOU PLEASE GET THIS OUT TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN REACH.
May God Bless Your Heart, Soul and Voice forever.
Your Sister in Faith,
Alma.
Here is a song list from my last recording for you...https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kji98myi4Uwm7NOuOpdGiI07o2XTQhOwg
I will take the crumbs of Jesus and be a happy gentle.
Gentile Kenn.
I also will accept what I am given.......! Gladly.
Me too. I am sooooo unworthy of any of His grace and mercy. I was for a long time an embodiment of the prodigal son.

These documents are fiction from the fifth century or later. They were debunked centuries ago.
