His hope gives us liberty. We have a standing with Him that causes us to rejoice (Ephesians 2:4-7). We have hope that dwells beyond the veil in heaven. Hallelujah. It is indeed the anchor to our souls (Hebrews 6:18-20). This hope is alive. We are sure it lives because of the resurrection. This resurrection reminds us of the inheritance that is laid up for us. Therefore we can speak of this hope and rejoice because our inheritance will never fade nor diminish in value. It is preserved by the source of life &hellip;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#000000;"> <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':grin:' class='wp-smiley' />  Thank you so very much Pure Glory</span> ( <a href="http://pureglory.net/">http://pureglory.net/</a> )<span style="color:#000000;"> for honoring 237blessed with this nomination for the Versatile Blogger Award.  The messages found on your blog are so very passionate and commendable concerning the things of the Father, the Lord of Life, of Love, and our hearts.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">◊  This is my very first nomination, and I am truly very grateful for the recognition.  In all I say and do I try to be acceptable in the eyes of the Lord; and I will consider this a positive sign, and thumbs up, from my Everlasting Father.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://237blessed.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/versatile-blogger-award.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-494" title="versatile-blogger-award" src="http://237blessed.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/versatile-blogger-award.jpg?w=584" alt=""   /></a></span></p>
<h2>THE RULES TO FOLLOW FOR THE VERSATILE BLOGGER AWARD:</h2>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">1. Add a picture of the award to your blog post.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">2. Thank the blogger who nominated you and include a link to their blog.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">3. Share 7 random facts about yourself.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">4. Nominate 15 other Bloggers and inform those 15 they have been nominated.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color:#000000;">Seven Random Facts about Myself<img class="wp-image-202 alignright" title="chrono_trigger" src="http://237blessed.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/chrono_trigger.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></span></h2>
<ol>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">My Father brought me into this life as an overly sensitive and empathetic soul.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">I am visually nearsighted, yet He shows me all I need to see.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">I tend to over-obsess over understanding, and breaking-down, those things I set my mind on contemplating.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">I&#8217;ve been in the brotherhood of Christ all my life; yet, within the last few years, the Lord has truly been establishing his glory in my life and has been revealing the path he has set before me.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">I am 29 years old.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">My body lives in weariness, yet my heart overflows with Hope and Life.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">I would be utterly ruined, and empty, without the Lord of Life; for it is impossible to be complete without him, and we suffer loss without you, my brothers and sisters.</span></li>

&#8211;These, however, were not of the Lord. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':sad:' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>→</strong>  Israel, the Church, and other powers have attempted to use the Lord as a tool of warfare and earthly prosperity.<br />
&#8211;These, also, are not of the Lord</span>. <img src='http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_mad.gif' alt=':mad:' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;"> <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_arrow.gif' alt=':arrow:' class='wp-smiley' />  Paul the Apostle writes that there are ‘spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavens’ that we must struggle against (<span style="color:#3366ff;"><a href="http://bible.cc/ephesians/6-12.htm" target="_blank">Ephesians 6: 12</a></span>).  How did they get there and why do they have power over us?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;"><strong>≡</strong> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;">We put them there and gave them power.  The Lord sent Moses to the people of Israel to establish the Lord as their God, but they preferred</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;"> <strong>Baal</strong> (<em>god of strength and fertility</em>), who is represented as a <strong>bull</strong> (<span style="color:#3366ff;">Exodus 32: 4</span>).  The majority of the neighboring nations of the world worshipped Baal as well, in one form or another (a world under baalim, the plural form of Baal): a ‘<span style="text-decoration:underline;">storm god</span>’ who waged war and spread fertility (<em>growth, offspring, and riches</em>).<br />
(See <span style="color:#3366ff;"><a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/6-24.htm" target="_blank">Matthew 6: 24</a></span>)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#000000;">→  The spiritual ‘man of the Lord’ was resisted by the ‘prince’ of the land of Persia while Daniel prayed for his people under Persia’s rule</span> (<span style="color:#3366ff;"><a href="http://niv.scripturetext.com/daniel/10.htm" target="_blank">Daniel 10</a></span>).  <span style="color:#000000;">The powers we set up, and the ways we prefer to define Heaven by, become a barrier and a stumbling-block between us and the Lord, and between us and the blessings the Lord would grant us.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="font-family:Symbol;">Þ</span></strong><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#000000;">  Judgment, fear of hell, and curses are spread in the name of the Lord; this should not be so.</span>  (<span style="color:#3366ff;">Luke 4: 18-19</span>) (<span style="color:#3366ff;">John 5: 19-27</span>) (<span style="color:#3366ff;"><a href="http://niv.scripturetext.com/john/3-17.htm" target="_blank">John 3: 17-21</a></span>)</span><span style="font-family:Symbol;">¯<br />
</span> <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_arrow.gif' alt=':arrow:' class='wp-smiley' />  Christ does not condemn, for He does as the Father, YHVH, does and the Father does not condemn either.  We condemn ourselves by rejecting the Lord of Life and therefore being outside of His goodness.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">→ </span><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><span style="color:#000000;">We are called to bless and to never curse</span></span> (<span style="color:#3366ff;">Romans 12: 14</span>) (<span style="color:#3366ff;">James 3</span>) (<span style="color:#3366ff;">Luke 6: 27-37</span>).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="font-family:Symbol;">Þ</span></strong>  Goodness, life, love, blessing, faithfulness, kindness, joy, peace, hope, salvation, deliverance from suffering… these and all good things are of the Lord.  These are His ways.  These are promised to us if we so choose them.  Those who choose the ways of life inherit life and goodness.  Likewise, those that choose the ways of death are injured and snared by it until they embrace the Deliverer and find Life once again.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#000000;">→  We claim all souls as the offspring of the Lord that He may reach them, correct them, deliver them, and keep them in His care evermore (<span style="color:#3366ff;">Hebrews 12: 5-11</span>).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"> <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':smile:' class='wp-smiley' />  Be forever ever blessed, everyone, amen.  And may we all receive love, grace, mercy and a place where goodness and life can be found.</span></p>
