Despite the efforts of the devil to demotivate me by putting people on my path that railed against me I know that I am not condemned. I have a natural optimism and sense of fun that no body can take away from me. I don’t care how super spiritual you think you are , you’re not on the right side of history by trying to tell me I am not saved. Telling me that I have a spirit a soul and a body and trying to convince me that I have to ‘ work ‘ on my soul is counter gospel. Jesus wouldn’t die to make it so hard for me to walk in His identity. But you , oh fool , are so far from salvation I take pity on you. If your soul didn’t get the message your Spirit wouldn’t have come alive. So your soul is saved together with your spirit when you get the revelation. Your spirit man isn’t separate from your soul. Jesus died to save your soul. And it isn’t a work in progress. It’s a fact. If you die to today , what are you going to tell Jesus when you get to heaven ? I can just see it -‘ Oh no wait.. I still haven’t worked on my soul enough ‘ Then you haven’t accepted what He did for you and you’ll be sent to a rather firey place. 

People like you ; the one’s who preach emotional healing ; make me sick. You’re pathetic losers who want to cajole the victims in this world for your own glory. Jesus commandment was to go into all the world and make disciples of Him. Not to write your own copy written books and cd’s for your own glory and fame. It’s one simple truth. One mielie if you will. ( I was once told that all I see of the whole bible is one truth – a corn of maze – south african ‘ mealie ‘ ) And that’s all it is as far as I am concerned. One flippen mealie. One truth. Jesus died for your sins and rose again for your justification. A finished work. Now accept it. But Nooo…you’re too egotistical to accept it , you want to be able to tell your story..of how you went through all your history when you were in your mothers womb even. Rubbish ! I see no one in the new testament crawling up their family tree being delivered from blood line curses or their victimhood. People like you make me sick . I can just feel the Holy Spirit fire within me as I write this.

I am not condemned. Never was and never will be. I am not so foolish having begun in the Spirit that I am now going to be made perfect in my own flesh. I refuse to panel beat my old man. I am a new creation in Christ Jesus by grace through faith ! It’s good news you buffoon. It starts as good news and works itself out because of good news. Theophostics is nothing more than working out your own salvation. But how many times do you have to see that Jesus loves you for you to actually believe that He loves you unconditionally ? Just believe ! And no one having drunk old wine immediately desires the new for he says the old is better. What does this mean ? It means your desire to want to panel beat your old man is pathetic . It’s religious. It’s Arthur Burkey. Pathetic ! Its like those unbelieving Israelites who wondered in the desert for forty years never making the destination of the promised land.

If your father promised you a car tomorrow morning and gave you the keys. What do you need to do to receive the car ? Only believe it , go out and get it. What’s all this mindless working on your soul for ? Be transformed by the renewing of your mind is to get to the place where you simply believe otherwise why would the commandment be to enter into His Rest ? Never deviate from His Rest. I resent people who make others doubt their salvation. Who cause them to disect their behavior into OCD type compartments. Self absorbed , self monitoring selfish beasts. Focus on Jesus !.

I am naturally optimistic and I will fight the good fight of faith till the day I die. I will uproot every false doctrine and lie in the name of Jesus. I will not stand by and watch His body be lied to and never walk in victory. You are my enemy because you refuse to believe in Jesus and only Jesus. There is no Jesus plus Arthur Burke ministry or any other clown you can name. . There is only Faith in Jesus FINISHED work. The one Mealie.

How can you hear the gospel , start to believe and feel the bubbles in your stomach and then veer off to lies and false doctrines ? You are a body soul and a spirit my foot. You’re just you and that’s that. You’re either in or you’re out . Make your mind up.

I’ve often wondered about what happens when people read your most intimate thoughts on the internet. Does it really matter what I write here. People are reading but do they really care ? Are they influenced. It’s crazy to write for a large audience and not quite be in the space you ought to be to write for a large audience.

I guess if the Lord is at the center of who you are then it doesn’t really matter what the world thinks. It’s really Him writing through me. But still. Sometimes it leaves me feeling like I am doing emotional streaking. The kind of streaking that would happen if you were to say take all your clothes off and run across a soccer field at half time. To expose one’s private life to the world is stupid. I don’t suppose I’ll be doing much more emotional streaking here . I think I’ll just show a few events and things I’ve noticed. But my private life will no longer be displayed here for all to see. It quite simply has got nothing to do with you.

Enjoy

My dad’s not so well.

Last week we took him to the hospital after he’d been complaining about a flue he just couldn’t seem to get over. He’d been coughing phlegm . I tried to be there as much as I could in order for him to get better and to have a sense of someone caring for him.

I discovered many things about my dad. He has an enlarged heart. He has scoliosis of the spine. He is intolerant to B+ blood group plasma. I just don’t know why everyone didn’t appreciate him for his courage and determination that he’s displayed all his life. He has been through so many operations and has always come through the other side. Recently he had eye problems . He had an embolism in his eye. So we had to have his eyes seen to . Eventually after 50 injections in his eyes he had to have his lenses replaced because of cataracts .

When I was 28 he had an operation to have his heart valve replaced. He was told he would live for fifteen years and then it would break. The same heart valve is still working to this day. It’s been 18 years.

He has had just about every joint in his limbs operated because of osteoarthritis . I see my dad as Jesus going through death burial and resurrection every time he faces a challenge. And this is how I know faith works. Don’t come and tell me about your little soul issues and how you’re going to counsel them  away. Your soul is supposed to be saved because you have TOTAL trust in what Jesus did. Make your mind up today. You in or are you out ? If you’re not in today you’d better work out your salvation with fear and trembling . I give you exactly one day to make your mind up. It doesn’t take fifty years !

He had constipation and a lack of energy and many things wrong with him but as I watched him handle the pain for the past week I saw that getting old isn’t for sissies. I saw a man on a cross hoping in the resurrection as he coughed his lungs out. And now finally after a week and two days of coughing he has conquered the flue and the fleghm. I admire his determination to want to live. So many of the people in the world have nothing wrong with them and walk around with the weight of the world on their shoulders. This man is made of steel and he’s the greatest dad that ever lived in my eyes. And ofcourse I am biased. I am supposed to be.

He might have to go for another operation to sort out his enlarged heart. I pray he makes the right decision but for me , my dad has displayed the ultimate walk of faith to me. He has not caved in to what people think of him and always did as he saw fit. He didn’t buy a new car every five minutes to brag and always helped whoever needed help. My dad is my hero.
