This Little Person woke up and was ready to turn and run home. He did not know which direction to do go for he had no idea where he was anymore. The sun was shining bright as a big cloud came over him. The cloud protected him from the heat.
The Old Man was not in sight but, he heard a voice and he thought it was from the cloud. The voice resounded in a great thunderous sound……. Here is My beloved Son, hear Him.
Then the old ancient book opened by a strong breeze to the King’s sermon teaching Little Person. He sat and leaned on a tree that held many birds. He did not notice this before, but was very thankful that it was there as he put that ancient book in his lap and started to read.
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake.
Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore.
Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil.
It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.
But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance.
Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
“Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:
When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart.
This is the seed sown along the path.
The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
But since they have no root, they last only a short time.
When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.
But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it.
This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown,” (Matthew 13:1-23).
Little Person read this teaching numerous times. He looked up to the sky and asked for the courage and boldness to have a heart that would withstand evil, the persecution for the word’s sake and the desires that world tempts him so he may stand with his King.
Please, Sir, allow me to keep You first and never forget what You showed me up on that hill.
He was a little overwhelmed that he had to depend on his own strength for this walk.
Then another wind blew that special book to another page:
Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control;
and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
Therefore, my brothers and sisters,
make every effort to confirm your calling and election.
For if you do these things, you will never stumble,
and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, ( 2 Peter 1-11) .
Little Person sighed. He did not want to lose what he received. He knew in his heart, he was different. He had no words to put to this new place he was in by God. But he knew this was a different place, he had a bubbling type feeling in his gut that never was there before He saw this King.
The colors of the world were brighter and the birds’ songs were even bubbly too. He thought maybe this King sent these pretty bluebirds that were singing a new song above him in the shade tree.
The knot of fear was totally gone that followed him around like his shadow. So many things changed and he didn’t want this to stop either. He felt this great God put him in a bubble in His hand. He was being showed a story and a movie and was glad to be His captive audience.
The breeze blew again and opened to the Psalms and the Psalm 139 was blinking brightly , so he read:
You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Two things stuck out, actually three:
He asked, Sir, how can the darkness be as light to You? Will that also be for me being with You too?
Sir, also, please tell me when was I sleeping and is this the awake that I am now in?
One last thing, Sir, is Your Spirit with me now? Is He here to help me know You and understand the great things you are teaching me?
I see, Sir, in the Book of John, I am born from the will of God John 1 -9-13 :
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
Does this mean I am born a new as You spoke of in the chapter three, verse 3-8?
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.
“How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.
So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
Sir, does this mean, I may call You, Father? The concept of this great God has called Little Person to be His son made the love of God really large.
God’s love covered him with a warmth that he never felt before. He never felt so loved as he did now by such a great God that created the universe. He created the universe and yet, He is teaching me and knows me, Little Person. WOW!
He saw the sun was setting and the pillar of fire stood by as a Soldier protecting him from the dangers around him.
He forgot to eat the food that was set beside him……. He noticed some squirrels brought some bread and nuts to him hours ago.
But He was so engrossed with the conversation going on in his spirit with His new Father, he never stopped.
He was learning of this great God, and King and His Spirit……
He did not know how many days went by.
He thought that maybe he is in eternity now when time has stopped for him because He was with the King in His kingdom.
He also wondered if he was going to get to ride the white horse which he read about at the end of the book….
Sir, may I, please, have Your horse to carry me through the days and nights and see the nights as day ? May He carry me through the battles while My King brings us through?
His questions never quit and I think if we were to see Heavenly Father, we might see a sweet smile as only a Father can have over His son.
Sir, am I awake now?
If I am not, please wake me, so I do not miss a thing.
As Little Person was looking out at the horizon and eating his food, he heard:
My Little One,
Read about your ride in Psalm 45. The heights of the hills shall be your path.
Your ride in I AM will be fast and slow, magnificent and lonely, yet you are in My family which is more numerous than beyond all the sand on the seashore.
Keep your eyes on Me and then you shall be so free that you trails will cover widths and depths and lengths and heights you never thought as they are far beyond what you could ever imagine or think.
Hear My Words.
Let them have full reign in you.
May My Words grow and take root in you so I AM as large as the tree that you are leaning on.
May I AM be found in you as this is your glory.
My Spirit will never leave you and will guide you in all My Words.
Listen and drink a lot from My fountain of living waters. Drink abundantly and freely.
He was writing as fast as Little Person could. He wanted to savor the Words and His sound forever.
He curled up and noticed how the deer came and laid down to keep him warm as he rested.
He was on an adventure that little people his age only read and dreamt about.
But he was living it……. How could he sleep, but his eyes were heavy…….He was so grateful and thankful, his eyes were shining with excitement as well as tears. Is this grace, He wondered as he drifted off.
Chapter four to follow- God willing.
Drink deep of the fountains of living waters of our great God.
He is willing to be with any one who seeks Him with their whole heart and abandon their prejudices and grown up ways. Seek him and start His adventure in the Kingdom of the Redeemed.
Little children, come and sit by My feet and learn of Me……
Come and hear My Son. He is My Beloved One.
SELAH!!!!
CAN’T WAIT FOR CHAPTER 4 !!
