DANIEL 180: BLIND TO SIGHT / DARKNESS TO LIGHT
My Redeemer said, "Do you really want to see?
I thought, "but I can see! What is He really asking me?"
As I stood there thinking what to say and He said,
"do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
I could only respond as Ezekiel did in the Ancient Scrolls found in Qumran. I said,
"O Lord GOD, thou knowest."
As my Redeemer and the disciples were walking they saw a blind man on the road. His disciples said,
"Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" John 9:2
My redeemer looked puzzled wondering why His disciples would cast judgement like this on this poor man and his parents.
My Redeemer said, "no one caused this! That's not why he is blind! He is Blind so my father in heaven will be glorified!"
I said, "Lord why do we always blame you when unfortunate things happen in life?
People think you are playing some type of game of rewards and punishment for all to see. Is this true my Lord?"
My Redeemer said,
"I know! The self righteous religious people use this 'game' as a way to manipulate people. I'm not that way! Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:29
Then He said, "This really concerns me that my disciples were so quick to judge."
"People have a tendency to cast judgement and accuse people for unfortunate circumstances that happen in their lives. I would rather have them respond with Grace."
"The Religious People misrepresent Me and act as if life is a balancing act of good works equating to My blessings and evil resulting in My punishment."
"This is what blinds people My friend."
Then I said, "So who is really blind? Is this man blind or the people that are quick to make judgements, point fingers and draw conclusions?"
Then my Redeemer touched the man and healed him.
So when the people saw the blind man that wasn't blind any longer they were amazed. They were asking him what had happened and who it was that healed him? The blind man said, "some great person named
Jesus."
The formerly blind person went on to say. "I don't know what where or why. All I know is that yesterday I was blind and today I see!"
My Redeemer said, "it's really that simple bro and the same is true for you! Yesterday you were blind with anxiety, fear, shame and confusion. Today you are able to see beyond the unfortunate situations and see My Father's hand in all if it.
This is what I meant when I asked you if you would like to see. Do you want to have a great outlook and vision of life? Do you want to see a great future with Faith and Hope?
"I came to heal the blind, feed the poor, free the captives and heal broken hearts!"
"My Father in Heaven is Glorified when we go from blind judgement to seeing Grace in all."
Now just Go! Tell everyone this Great News!

My Redeemer said, "Can you be happy again?"
As I was Trembling He said, "Fear Not My Friend!"
I could only respond as Ezekiel did in the Ancient Scrolls found in Qumran. I said,
"O Lord GOD, thou knowest."
"Oh how Happy is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered." Psalm 32:1
Then I said, "but how can I be forgiven? I just don't perceive it Lord! I have too many shortcomings and character flaws in my life! I have hurt too many people! I've been wronged and I want revenge! I've done too many drugs and wasted my life! My life is hardened now!
Then He said, "the same sun that hardens the clay can also soften it."
Then my Redeemer said, "Remember my friend, I am the Potter and you are the clay."
Then He said, "why did Judas throw down the 30 pieces of silver in the Temple after he met with the Priests?
I said, "because he regretted that he sold you out and betrayed you for such a price."
My Redeemer said, "this is true however it was also so I could have access to the Potters Field which gives me access to your heart.
In my Ancient Scrolls the Priest could not use the money Judas gave them because it was blood money. So the Priest bought a Potter's Field instead.
The cool thing is this: I told Zechariah that this would happen way back in 485 BC and had him write it my Ancient Scrolls. Come here and take a look my friend."
Then He showed me a Clay Jar and said,
"This is one of the Clay Jars that were found in Qumran in 1948. The Priest put the Temple Scrolls in the Clay Jars and hid them in the Qumran Caves. The Jars he used were from this same potter's field.
Then my Redeemer said, "I want you to read this verse in Zechariah 11:13."
I began to read:
"And the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter"--the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the house of the LORD." Zechariah 11:13
My Redeemer said, "I wrote this 500 years earlier.
I predicted over 300 events just like this so when I came to earth the first time there would be no doubt of who I am.
In my laws of probability and statistics the P Value for all 300 events to play out is beyond chance and is statistically significant.
Then my Redeemer said,
"Lo, I come: in the volume of the book" Psalm 40:7
Then He said, "Tell me one person that has ever predicted where they would be born (Bethlehem) nonetheless by a Virgin. Tell me one person that has foretold circumstances and events in his childhood. Tell Me one person that knew He would need to flee to Egypt. Tell me one person the knew he would need to come back to Nazareth.
I wrote in the volume of the book that I would live in poverty, heal people, give people hope, set captives free and heal broken hearts.
I also wrote that I would be presented as a King on the exact day I predicted.
I Am the revealer of secrets," He said. "I foretold everything before it happened so when it did happen you might believe!"
The date was
April 6 32AD which is also known as Palm Sunday.
After this the Scrolls say that I would be betrayed (four days later) for 30 pieces of Silver. The Silver would then be used to buy a Potter's field. Finally it says that I would die on a cross on April 10 32AD or Nissan 14.
I did all of this so I could buy the Potters Field to purchase you my friend. I did this to have access to the Field and to your heart my friend.
You see, I not only turn Deserts into Springs of Water, trade Ashes for Beauty and make all things New. I tell you events before they occur so you will have no doubt about my Love and Passion for you," He said.
I did all of this to build such a strong foundation for you to fall back on that nothing can convince you otherwise.
Then I turned Judas's betrayal into an opportunity to purchase the Potter's Field! This was the field used as a Wasteland of broken lives like yours."
I said, "so you are talking about me?"
He said, "you and those like you that are broken with no future and no
hope! I'm talking about people like you that the world has tossed aside as good for nothing!"
He went on to say, "the sun that hardened the clay with lives of regret, anger, frustration, depression etc...
Replaced with the Son of God who will soften the clay by providing forgiveness of every sin, transgression, shortcoming, character flaw etc...
He will use your Tears of Regret and Anxiety to soften the the clay.
"Now the Real Son can make you and mold you into the image of My Father" He told me.
He said, "All of this New Found Hope, New a Found Life and New Found Forgiveness was purchased for only 30 Pieces of Silver and a Roman Cross.
Then He said, "What the enemy meant for evil and 'blood money' I used to provide Forgiveness and a New Beginning!
Then He said, "oh by the way, remember the Priest that put my scrolls in the clay jars and hid them in the caves?"
"He did so because he knew Jerusalem and the Temple would be destroyed in 70 AD by Titus. He wanted to preserve and protect the Ancient Scrolls."
Then I said, "how did he know this?"
He said, "He was outside the Temple when I mentioned it to the disciples."
Then My Redeemer said again,
"Oh how Happy is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered."
Psalm 32:1
"Behold, I make ALL THINGS NEW My Friend!. It's Beyond Chance my I am who I am.... Tell them I am has sent you!!"
Then He said:
"NOW DON'T THINK ABOUT IT!
JUST GO!"

My Redeemer said, "Can I make Beauty out of Ashes in your life?
I could only respond as Ezekiel did in the Ancient Scrolls found in Qumran in the 37th chapter of his book.
"O Lord GOD, only You know!"
As I was Trembling He said,
"Fear Not my Friend! Come to me with your mental exhaustion and I will give you continuos Sabbath Days of Rest for I am your Sabbath every moment of every day!"
Then my Redeemer told me what He said in Isaiah's Scrolls that were found in the Bedouin Caves next to Ezekiel's:
"To all who mourn in Israel, I will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like Great Oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory." Isaiah 61:3
- A Beautiful Crown
- A Joyous Blessing
- A Festive Holiday of Praise
Then He told me the result in my life will be like the Great Oaks He planted that were Strong and Un-moveable during the Storms.
He went on to tell me that He is proud of me and glorified when I Stand Tall during the difficult situations in my life as I apply these truths.
Then He said,
"Behold, I am making you
Strong my Friend as you are well rooted in my Word!" Psalm 1
"My Word is a Lamp unto your feet and a light unto your Path!"
"The Springs of Living Water I told you about yesterday will allow these roots to go deep and wide so when the storms of life come you are well established and grounded."
"When the Spring comes your branches and leaves reach out giving others My Future and Hope when they look at your the Fruit of your life."
"When the Summer comes your branches and leaves provide cool shelter so when situations get heated up in and around your life you will remain cool and relaxed by resting in me."
Then He told me to
JUST GO and FINISH STRONG!

My Redeemer said, "Can I do a New Thing in your life?"
As I was Trembling He said, "Fear Not Friend!"
I could only respond as Ezekiel did in the Ancient Scrolls found in Qumran. I said,
"O Lord GOD, thou knowest."
"Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."
Isaiah 43:18–19, ESV
He said He is:
- Doing A New Thing in my life!
- Will put a Spring of Living Water in your life!"
I said to my Redeemer," I don't perceive it Lord! I have lost too much! I'm regretful! I've been wronged! People use me! I've done too many drugs to escape and waisted my time! My spouse has lost her desire for me and is looking elsewhere etc... I hurt too bad my Redeemer!"
My Redeemer said He will:
- Make a New Way!
- Make not just one River but many Rivers in my wilderness!
Then He said,
"Behold, I make ALL THINGS NEW!"
I told Him that I thought that was only in Revelation at the end! Then my Redeemer gave me a Peace that is beyond all human understanding and He said,
"I Make All Things New Starting Now!"
Then He said:
"DON'T THINK!
JUST GO!"

Calcified = Stent Recoil
Calcified = Stent Fracture
Calcified = Mallapposed
The .0120 Guide Wire used in OAS Atherectomy Severely Calcified Coronary Arteries present challenges when recrossing a newly implanted stent with traditional .014 PTCA Balloons:
- Crossing Profile is an average of .0185.
- When recrossing a stent strut over a .012 guide wire the tip of the traditional .014/.0185 compatible balloons hang up (Fish Mouth) on the edge of the implanted stent.
With the recently approved Skived Tip Technology by Trireme Medical Inc. Stent Strut Recoil caused by Calcific Disease common in Type C lesions (especially on a bend) provides a Safer and more Effective Approach then traditional PTCA options.
Skived Tip Technology with a .016 crossing profile is 20% tighter around the PTCA guidewire which reduces the chance of "fish mouthing" and hanging up on the Stent Strut.
Above is an example of Skived Tip Technology. This enables the operator to
Skived Tip Technology also provides a Safer and more Effective approach to Side Branch Access with a More Predictable and Controllable outcome.
Skived Tip Technology may also save procedure time and contrast in these very sick patients with multiple risk factors as well as Co-Morbidities associated with this patient population.
Skived Tip Technology may also reduce 30 MACE Readmission Rates associated with Technical Complications during procedures. As of 10/2014 the Hospitals will be responsible for the Readmission Cost that is an average of $50-60k per event.

As I was walking with my Redeemer to our evening meal in the city I saw a stone on the side of the Temple that had the following engraved in Hebrew:
כִּ֣י עֹ֤וד חָזֹון֙ לַמֹּועֵ֔ד וְיָפֵ֥חַ לַקֵּ֖ץ וְלֹ֣א יְכַזֵּ֑ב אִם־יִתְמַהְמָהּ֙ חַכֵּה־לֹ֔ו כִּֽי־בֹ֥א יָבֹ֖א לֹ֥א יְאַחֵֽר׃
For the vision is yet for an appointed time...though it tarry, wait for it..."
Habakkuk 2:3
My Redeemer told me that sometimes He doesn't just give us all the answers to our dilemmas. He wants us to endure through the tough times to build us up for a tougher time down the road. He went on to explain why it is important to tarry, sojourn and be still while waiting for the Lord's instruction.
Then He reminded me of the time in the Ancient Scrolls when He said through Isaiah, "Wait on The Lord and He will Renew your Strength!"
I suppose this means that I need to remain calm as I sojourn through while waiting and receiving strength!

Entered our world Your glory veiled
Not to be served but to serve
And give Your life, that we might live
This is our God, the servant King
He calls us now to follow Him
And give our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to the Servant King
There in the garden of Tears
My heavy load He chose to bear
His heart with sorrow was torn
"Let not My will by Yours" He said
Come see His hands and His feet
The scars that speak of sacrifice
Hands that flung stars into space
To cruel nails surrendered
So let us learn how to serve
And in our lives enthrone Him
Each other's needs to prefer
For it is Christ we're serving"

I had a dream of a young deaf girl the other day. The girl was about 8. I was amazed as she told me that my voice was the first thing and first time she had ever heard clearly.
Then she faded away into the night fog. I think it was my Jana! Before I woke I saw her talking to me from afar when she told me the clarity of sound quickly faded back go normal.
Not knowing what this was all about I was suddenly in the End Zone celebrating a Touchdown in The Ventura Bowl. This was the last time I would ever carry a ball in College Football game. It was a screen pass on a Trips Play before The Spread Offense was made popular by Urban Meyer at The University of Utah.
Then I woke up!
It was as I if my Redeemer was giving that little girl
a glimpse of eternity with clear hearing. For me it was just another emotional dream with the most important person in my life while playing the sport that taught me everything I needed to know for a successful life.
It just blew me away and I had to ask you Jana: have you ever heard clearly and if so what did it sound like to you?
I have never asked you Jana this simple yet obvious questing before. Maybe that's the problem or should I say the opportunity!!!
I have been missing the most obvious little things that are not really things in fact if you think about it these "little" things are the most precious things in life.
My Momma told me when I was 8 yrs old that "little" things come in Big Packages. She said Hod will even wrap little things like a rabbit foot in Huge Package so we will know that little things to us are Big things to Him.
She said Value is not the Size of something it is the Thought and Passion underneath it that matters!
Then she said "Go get em Tiger" as she dropped me off at practice for my first real test in life.
This was a big test for a little 8 yr old boy filled with fear and anxiety that couldn't make a "little league" football team.
As I left I said, "hey momma, why did a rabbit have to lose his foot so I would understand this?"
She said, "oh Ricky, don't let those anxious butterflies (which I thought were real) in your stomach make you overthink it too much Ricky.
JUST GO RICKY!"
I guess this is why I always end everything with JUST GO!
Then my mom lit up a viceroy cigarette right there in that lot next tho Edison High School that would become the famous Smokers Field! This was equivalent to a mini type of Haight Ashbury or Wood Stock.
Then she drove away in a white Chevy Station Wagon with bald tires ready to blow out at any time. You see didn't have much money in those days.
By the way , I made the team that year in 1973 and in 1974 Edison High became the first school in the Country to have Grace on a new Generation of young people by developing "Smokers Field"
Most said they did this to keep the kids out of the bathrooms. Smokers Field was a place to go for anxiety stricken kids with Chemical Imbalances like me didn't have to feel ashamed by their habit of smoking.
They were just trying to fill up their lack of dopamine and serotonin in their frontal lobe of their brain that causes all this in the first place.
Kids could wear glasses to help them read is this any different? Thank God for School administrators that were able to have this foresight to meet this "little" need.
"Who cares about cancer I just want to make it to tomorrow!" I heard one hippie chick in bel bottoms say!
Rumor has it that someone saw my momma that summer day in 1973 as she was was dropping at practice.
My First real test in life was before me. I was challenged by the coach to tackle Todd Thanning who uwas the toughest kid on the team that year. I had to tackle more then Todd Thanning! I had to tackle anxiety, depression, endurance, desire etc...,
I think my Redeemer saw all of this going on and gave a school administrator the idea of "Smokers Field!"
You see all of us have things we have to Tackle in Life. For me it was Anxiety played out on a summer day in 1973.
For You Jana it is your hearing loss day after day surviving all those classes and conversations you pretended to hear.
And for my Mamma it was Tackling her addiction (that turned into Grace on that "Smokers Field" day.
Mamma had the biggest fight ahead of her though in the mid 80's as she was Tackled by Legionnaires' disease (which is a severe form of pneumonia) after her lungs collapsed.
This time though my Redeemer did for her what she couldn't do for herself and that was Tackle her Cigarette addiction with an unfortunate circumstance that forced her decision to quit smoking. You see if she wanted to live to see her Great Grand Children she had to make a choice.
This is Called the Gift of DESPARATION!
Sometimes God uses events like these to squeeze out the best in us
Jana, isn't it kind if ironic that you can't hear but YOU ARE THE KINDEST AND GREATEST LISTENER there ever was!
Boy does our Redeemer do things in the most mysterious ways to confound the wise! Well, I conquered fear that day! My Mamma conquered her fear and anxiety in a hospital bed right next to Paul Newmen at Hoag Hospital.
Jana, your Problem has turned into your Greatest Asset and that is your ability to hear the heart of people better than anyone who has ever existed in this planet!
Well almost everyone! Everyone except our Redeemer! but wait a minute! Maybe I'm wrong! My Redeemer just whispered to me in a Still small voice that He gave you His ears Jana when He Tackled a Cross 2000 years ago in another Smokers Field called Golgotha in Jerusalem.
"Give EAR to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up." Psalm 5
Jana, thank you for letting me know that you gave thought to this. I had tears in my eyes when I read, heard or dreamt about this.
Now I'm not sure but I was blown away by the thought of all this. Just like I was blown away when you told me you never heard a cat pur till Flur. Is that why her name is Flur ?
I just realized that!
Anyway I want you to hear so bad. I would give my eyes and my ears up for you to hear clearly.
It has been a very emotional week. I have been up every night praying and writing till 4 am. One night Rick's Movie writing wrote a script about my Jana. I actually dictated it with music of forest gump.
It is about the resurrection when My Redeemer saw Mary Weeping as He walked out of the Cave.
I watched my Redeemer ask Mary, "who are you looking for and what are you looking for?'"
Then Mary changed and suddenly it was you Jana. Then my Redeemer explained a few things both serious and funny. Then He said, I came to Free Captives! Then I see Handcuffs come off of Josh and Anger Fly Away from Jed in the form of a Sparrow. Depression fled from Joy m the form of a Cloud. Then anxiety ran away from JoJo like fiery tongues on Pentecost . And of course the locks came off the refrigerator for Jill.
Kind of like that last scene in the wizard of Oz when Dorothy was surrounded by all her loved ones when Toto / Lacey jumps up on you in her bed.
Then my redeemer said , " He also came to heal broken hearts and this is when I lose every tear I have as my Redeemer looks at you Jana and gives you The Lion or Tin Man's heart in the Wizard of Oz. He says, as I cry right now, I got you a new mended heart Jana. Then Josh puts a big heart necklace around you. Then my redeemer says look! Up in the Air it says Proverbs 31 as all of your children Bless you....,,
I just read this again and I have so many tears I can't control. This is all I ever wanted for us... My Redeemer completing you when fail. My Redeemer being strong when I'm Weak!
He said, "hey I married both of you on Dec 25th 88. I'm the same now as then and so are you. I haven't left you. I'm still here for you!
Look to me and not to each other and you will automatically see each other.
Now may The Lord Bless you and Keep you and may His Face shine upon you and give you peace!!!!
The Good news is this: Time has a beginning and an ending according to Einstein and so do problems and issues. Why?
Because our Redeemer said, "It is Finished!" In other words He took our situations and issues on His shoulders so we could keep "Pressing on through the Finish Line!"
Remember: "weeping may last for the night but Joy comes in the morning!" Psalm 30:5
Joy, not because God makes all the situations and issues go away (which He can) but because He is in the Storm with us and has it all under control. He said, "be still!" and the storm calmed down!"
Question: Was He talking to the Storm or to His friends?
Now I realize I must:
- Be Still
- Accept the Storm
- Take Responsibility for it
- Execute with my new Captain known as my Redeemer at the Helm!
There is a Time for Everything under the heavens. There is also a time of reflection and taking personal inventory called:
Acceptance of the Situation!
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace!
Ecc 3:1-8
The Holy Spirit was speaking through Solomon not to condone any of these things but wanted us to realize these things are reality.
Today it is Time for Our Father and Creator because after all He Created Time in the First Place.
Have Joyful Fathers Day My Friends!

This song says it all so simple and so true written in the early 70's by a lesbian.
A young person said, in a to response this:
"don't all of us have sin in our lives?"
That just blew me away! Young people are so clear!
Our Redeemer came to seek and save all that are lost and weighed down with burdens and anxiety which leads to a target practice of misses as we try to get relief from every shortcoming we have. The Bible calls this sin which in the Greek means Missing the Mark at Target Practice!!!!
The Target Practice is everything we aim at to fill the hole in our soul with anything other then our Redeemer. It could be career, adultery, drugs alcohol, sex outside of marriage, abortion, pornography, arrogance, judge-mental, lesbian, gay etc..
The bottom line is all of us have been way off the Target. And guess what? Our Redeemer isn't disappointed! He knows we are way off the Target as we try to fill the hole in our souls. The Cool thing is this: It's only considered Target Practice in His Ancient Scrolls.
Yes this Target Practice can potentially hurt a lot of people including ourselves if we are way off and someone happens to be in the firing zone. With that said He is willing to give us a Mulligan (in golf a second chance on the first Tee Shot) on one condition: We change our Target. My Redeemer and His friend Johnny B. calls this Repenting or changing the plan.
Isn't this what coaches do all the time at Half Time. My Redeemer told me that one of a His friends said it like this:
"If what I am doing produces the same damaging results over and over again then I must change or I will be considered insane!"
My Redeemer said, "it's weird! I always get blamed for everything! I'm not the one making the choices for I have given them the right to choose! I was proud of my boy Josh in the Wilderness when he said, "as for me and my house we will choose The Lord!" My Redeemer then said Josh is good dude! He got it! This was a huge statement considering he was in the midst his wilderness experience when he said this! Josh shows us It's possible to win even in the storms of life that all of us will go through during Target Practice. I can't wait tell you meet Josh in Dad's Mansion! I love that dude!"
So the real message here is this: His Target is much Bigger and Easier to Hit then all the above targets in target practice.
My Redeemer said He allows us to go through the worst of all the scenarios so when we finally get in the game it seem a lot easier. Not that it will be easier but all the preparation and Target Practice in the worst of situations makes Romans 8:28 alive and well in our lives allowing us to Change and go Full Throttle to the Finish Line!!
FOR THOSE TEARS I DIED!
"You said You'd come and share all my sorrows,
You said You'd be there for all my tomorrows;
I came so close to sending You away,
But just like You promised You came there to stay;
I just had to pray!
And Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by My side,
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied;
I felt ev'ry teardrop when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you that for those tears I
died."
Your goodness so great I can't understand,
And, dear Lord, I know that all this was planned;
I know You're here now, and always will be,
Your love loosed my chains and in You I'm free;
But Jesus, why me?
And Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by My side,
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied;
I felt ev'ry teardrop when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you that for those tears I
died."
Jesus, I give You my heart and my soul,
I know that without God I'd never be whole;
Savior, You opened all the right doors,
And I thank You and praise You from earth's humble
shores;
Take me, I'm Yours.
And Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by My side,
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied;
I felt ev'ry teardrop when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you that for those tears I
died."
Your goodness so great I can't understand,
And, dear Lord, I know that all this was planned;
I know You're here now, and always will be,
Your love loosed my chains and in You I'm free;
But Jesus, why me?
And Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by My side,
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied;
I felt ev'ry teardrop when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died."

This is what my Redeemer said in the Greek language of the day.
λέγει [a]αὐτῇ Ἰησοῦς· Γύναι, τί κλαίεις; τίνα ζητεῖς; ἐκείνη δοκοῦσα ὅτι ὁ κηπουρός ἐστιν λέγει αὐτῷ· Κύριε, εἰ σὺ ἐβάστασας αὐτόν, εἰπέ μοι ποῦ ἔθηκας αὐτόν, κἀγὼ αὐτὸν ἀρῶ. John 20/15
He asked her, "Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?" John 20:15
Then I realized He said this same thing to the Samaritan woman at the well in the 4th chapter of His Scrolls that His friend John wrote.
The Samaritan woman at the well was crying when she met my Redeemer but her tears were different. She had tears of bitterness, abuse, strife, sarcasm, regret, anger, frustration etc.. However her tears were draining inward crystallizing and hardening her heart into a Pillar of Salt.
This Samaritan Woman did not recognize my Redeemer at first.
My Redeemer: "Can you spare a drink of water for a traveler?
SW: "Why? You are a Jew and Your people are not supposed to have anything to do with us."
My Redeemer: "if you knew who I am you would ask Me for Living Water and I would give it to you! With My Water you will never thirst again."
SW: Sarcastically she said, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."
My Redeemer: "Go, call your husband and come back."
SW: "I have no husband,"
My Redeemer: "You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true."
My Redeemer went on to say His living water has the power to get rid of the tears of bitterness, abuse, strife, sarcasm, regret, anger etc..
The conversation went on and then she realized like Mary did that the one speaking to her was her Redeemer. For He was the promised Redeemer spoken of by the Ancient Prophets.
Then I realized this woman has woken up every day since she could remember in an abusive relationship willing to let others define her value. Her tears of bitterness were making her a Pillar of Salt just like Lot's wife in Genesis.
She was frozen in a crystallized body of Anxiety and Regret.
I remember reading in the Ancient Bedouin Scrolls found in Qumran by the Dead Sea that my Redeemer actually went out if His way and changed His path to meet this Samaritan Woman.
This had me thinking that maybe in a round about way my Redeemer was still bummed out that Lot's Wife didn't listen to Him when He said, "don't look back!"
Maybe He wanted to prevent the same thing from happening with the Samaritan Woman at Jacob's Well.
Then all of the sudden I realized that when I look back and remember all of the strife, anger etc.. I too will become a Pillar of Salt. I Must look ahead at all times!
The Samaritan Woman's story ends better then the wife of Lot. This Samaritan Woman went from used and abused in bitter relationship after relationship to tears of Joy and Laughter.
This same Samaritan woman was instrumental in planting the first Church and Hospital in Samaria.
My Redeemer takes the used, abused and rejected people of this world and turns them into the incredible Leaders of tomorrow!!
Now I realize that when I am distraught He calls me by my name for He personally made me and fashioned me in my mother's womb. Psalm 139
I also realize He keeps track of all my sorrows and collects all of my tears in a bottle so the tears of bitterness and strife don't crystallize and turn me into a Pillar of Salt. Psalm 56:8!
Now I realize My Redeemer is the one I look to.
My Redeemer knew my name way before I knew His!
I Must Embrace this Truth and give it away to someone new everyday for the rest of this life.

6. ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΝ 19:30
ὅτε οὖν ἔλαβεν τὸ ὄξος ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· Τετέλεσται, καὶ κλίνας τὴν κεφαλὴν παρέδωκεν τὸ πνεῦμα.
"It is finished!"
"When my Redeemer received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished," and He bowed his head and gave up his spirit."
John 19:30
My Redeemer fought till the very end. When He tasted the sour vinegar I realized what was finished.
What was finished was the shortcomings and character flaws passed down from generation to generation in our unique DNA code; we know this as sins and transgressions.
Not that these flaws in my flesh are no longer present within me but the power, influence and bondage these things have over my life can be conquered. I am Free at last!
My Redeemer Finished the job by taking my place and undoing what began in the Garden many years ago.
My Redeemer told me in His Ancient Scrolls, "Greater is He that is in me then he that is in the World!"
What a Price my Redeemer paid?
"Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be used for His own advantage. Instead He emptied Himself by assuming the form of a slave, taking on the likeness of men. And when He had come as a man in His external form." Phil 2:6-7
I still don't understand why He would do this for me. As I write this I have tears of joy and tears of sorrow. Now I understand why there is a season for everything under the sun. I guess that is why He told me in His Scrolls that it is His Goodness and Kindness that leads me to Changing from the Wide Road to His Narrow Road.
Now I realize My Redeemer paid the price for me so I don't have to stress out with Hematidrosis like my Redeemer did in my own Garden of Circumstances and Confusion.
My Redeemer paid the price for me so I don't have to taste the sour (vinegar) of a life of strife, circumstances, complaints, excuses, bitterness etc..
My Redeemer paid the price for me so I can enjoy life and end the struggle that I experience because of my character flaws and shortcomings.
My Redeemer paid the price for me so I don't have to be a slave that panics to get relief from my genetic flaws and disorders.
Now I realize, Adam, Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Elijah, David, Ruth , Judah, Esther, Rahab, Nehemiah, Isaiah, Peter, Paul, Samaritan Woman at the Well, Thief on the Cross etc...all had a the same issues as me. My Redeemer used their weaknesses to make them Strong!
Now I realize I have the power to Accept, Take Responsibility and Take Action rather than be stuck in the gray area of indecision.
Today is the day my Redeemer Finished His Work!
Today is the day of a New Beginning of His Spirit at work in my life so I can now continue the work He did for me toward others.
Now I realize my life is a vessel that His Spirit indwells to carry out the rest of His Plan while constantly polishing me and transforming me into His Image.
I must pass on this Great News today before the sun goes down!

DANIEL 180: THE POWER OF SEVEN STATEMENTS!
This is what my Redeemer said in the Greek language of the day.
kai
phōnēsas φωνήσας φωνῇ
μεγάλῃ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν
Πάτερ εἰς χεῖράς σου
παρατίθεμαι τὸ πνεῦμά
μου τοῦτο δὲ εἰπὼν
ἐξέπνευσεν Luke 23:46
"Jesus called out with a loud voice, 'Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.' When he had said this, he breathed his last.'" Luke 23:46
My Redeemer reminded me that His servant David proclaimed this prophesy 1000 years before now which is 1 of 300 prophecies of His first visit to planet earth:
"Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, Lord, my faithful God."
Psalm 31
At this time I was a bit confused. My Redeemer said He was releasing His Spirit into the care of His Father. My thought was how did He do this if His Father and Him were one and the same as remember Him saying, "I and my Father are One!
Then my Redeemer reminded me of what Paul would say to his bros in Colossae:
"My Redeemer is the Son and He is the image of the invisible God, the first in preeminence over all creation. For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things exist and hold together."
Colossians 1:15-17
It was similar to Caesar's stamp on the coins of the day.
Suddenly I realized what my Redeemer was talking about when He asked for the coin and said,
Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, "Whose image is this? And whose inscription?"
"Caesar's," they replied.
Then He said to them, "So give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." Matthew 22:19-21
Then I realized my Redeemer (like the coin) is the image of His invisible Father and Spirit all working together as One and was in fact God in human flesh.
Cesar was invisible to most just like my Redeemer's Father and Spirit. Just as no one has seen God at any time the image on the coin gave people a picture of Caesar from his throne in Rome. In a similar way the Image of God the Father and God the Spirit from His Throne in Heaven is stamped on a Roman Cross and now my life with a picture of my Redeemer !
- Just as the coin's value was used for trade of goods and services my Redeemer's value on earth was used as trade for me (goods) and my service!
The Stamp of Caesar made the coin real, authentic and impossible to counterfeit just as the Stamp of God which is my Redeemer makes His Finished Work here on earth real, authentic and impossible to counterfeit.
Now I finally understand that I am to Render unto my Redeemer what He Owns and Created and that is my Life!
It is Finished! I must have my Redeemer's Coin in my possession at all times reminding me of the Price He Paid for my goods and services as they are all His in the first place.
I must Render unto my Redeemer my whole life as this is the Price He paid as His Stamp is on my Life!
I must pass this Finished Work of my Redeemer on to everyone I meet showing the the Coin with my Redeemer's image on it which is now me; for I was made in His Image before the Time Began! Eph 1
It's time to take on my new assignment and tell others the Incredible Message of my Redeemer! I must start today before the sun goes down!
"I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth."
Job 19:25

Monday, June 2, 2014
This is what my Redeemer said in the Greek language of the day.
5. διψάω John 19:28
I thirst for, desire earnestly
"I thirst!"
When my Redeemer was taking his last breaths on earth they offered him some vinegar after he said, "I thirst!" This was done to fulfill prophesy and also to show that the world and everything in it is sour compared to a Relationship with my Redeemer.
- He told the people in the Temple to come to Him and He would give them Living Water. Now I realize my life is the Temple of my Redeemer. Now I have access to this Living Water 24/7 instead of just one day per week.
- Now I realize before the Cross we had to go to the Temple to get this Living Water however now the Living Water comes to us through our Redeemer. It is like the physics of H2O to simplify a very complex equation of 3 distinct centers of consciousness acting as One. (I am not trying to minimize my Redeemer to human examples of physics but it may help the reader get more insight into my Redeemer's nature as it did for me). 1x1x1 is 1. H2O is liquid, steam and ice but one same H2O acting as one. This is Incredible because H2O can be a a very simple example of my Redeemer's Living Water as Father, Son and Holy Spirit acting and being One! My Redeemer reminded me of what His servant Joshua said in His Ancient Scrolls, "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:" Deu 6:4
- I have come to realize that the world religions cannot give me this Living Water that my Redeemer gives me. He reminded me that with His Living Water I will never thirst again!
"Why is this? Then I was reminded that this is true because of His Spirit that in dwells my life and in fact is One with my Redeemer.
My Redeemer once told me that my life was like a building with no Cornerstone. It was unbalanced to say the least. Every time a Storm would hit my life my foundation became very wobbly. I tried relationships, drugs, alcohol, eastern religion, philosophers, money, prestige, power etc... Nothing would fit the Cornerstone to give me stability. Then my Redeemer promised me that He would fit into the Cornerstone perfectly if I gave Him a shot. He said in His Ancient Scrolls in Psalm 139 that He designed me this way so nothing would fit or fill the gap in the Cornerstone except Him. So after much thought and failure doing it my way I finally gave my Designer a shot. He is so kind because the fact of the matter He was giving me a shot. You see He knew how to communicate with my stubborn mind so He pretended to let me think I was in control.
- My Redeemer was different then all the Religions and things I tried to fill the empty Cornerstone with. My Redeemer was not a one size fits all cookie cutter approach. My Redeemer actually made a Custom Fit Cornerstone just for me. He did this through the compliance and flexibility of His Spirit within me.
- All of the others tried fitting their version of the missing Cornerstone from the outside to inside. However, my Redeemer customized the missing Cornerstone in my life from the inside out. It was like the difference of a physician diagnosing a fractured scull with and without an MRI. The Religions don't use the MRI to diagnose however my Redeemer does. As you know this is a much more accurate way of diagnosing and finding a solution.
After diagnosing the situation my Redeemer sent His Spirit and filled the Cornerstone perfectly with no cracks or leaks. I know this because when the storms of life began to hit my foundation stood with no leaks or cracks in the foundation.
Now I finally realize no other man-made religion could do this for me.
Now I realize I am able to have incredible Power to live the way I was intended to live; in my Redeemer's Image. Now I know I can Conquer all things with His Spirit working in my life making me more like Him every day. His servant Paul once said in the Greek scrolls, "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength!" Phil 4:13
Knowing this I realize that my life is to be the Temple of my Redeemer. He said, "To anyone who thirst let them come to Me and I will give them Living Water" I Must now be that Vessel He uses to give this Living Water to a thirsty world.
Now I know what He meant when He told His friends to be the Salt of the Earth. I am supposed to make people thirsty for Him. Also, as salt is a preservative I am also to be a preservative in my circle of influence to keep His message of Hope Alive!
I also realize I don't have to struggle over guilt and condemnation anymore because I don't have to enter a Temple made with human hands anymore. Now I am the Temple of the Living God! Instead of me entering this man made Temple to meet my Redeemer He actually enters me as His new Temple to Dwell in. Now I know what Nathan the Prophet meant in the Ancient Scrolls when he said to David God is going to make you a Temple. Most think it was Solomon's Temple but my Redeemer assured me Nathan was referring to my Redeemer. His servant John in John's Scroll chapter one, "His Tabernacle/Temple was among us." After my Redeemer gave up His Spirit this Tabernacle/ Temple transferred to those that received Him as He gave them the right to be the children of God. What an amazing thought this is! It is very humbling knowing that the Creator of the Universe believes in me enough to give me this awesome responsibility of having Him live within me.
Now I am free to be who I was designed to be in the first place! Paul said again to Rome in chapter 8, "there is therefore no condemnation to those that are in Christ!"
I Must pass on this Great News of having access to H2O - Living Water 24/7. I Must do this before the sun goes down!

This is what my Redeemer said in the Greek language of the day.
4. περὶ δὲ τὴν ἐνάτην ὥραν [a]ἀνεβόησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγων· [b]Ἠλὶ ἠλὶ λεμὰ σαβαχθάνι; τοῦτ' ἔστιν· Θεέ μου θεέ μου, ἱνατί με ἐγκατέλιπες;
ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 27:46
"Eli, Eli lema sabachthani," "My God, my God, why have your forsaken me."
Matthew 27:46
This makes me realize:
- My Redeemer was forsaken by His Father in my Place. When people ask me, "who killed Jesus?" I will tell them it wasn't Rome! It wasn't the Jews! It was me! My shortcomings and character flaws know as sins and transgressions put Him on that Cross.
- This Attitude makes me grateful because he took my place and the rest of mankind's place when He forsook Himself by rejecting Himself.
- With My Redeemer on the Cross I realize He is 3 Distinct Centers of Consciousness working together as One or 1x1x1=1. This is Amazing and I don't understand it but this is repeated throughout the Ancient Scrolls.
- My Redeemer said His Father and Him are One! My Redeemer said that He will raise Himself from the grave in three days. Later in the Scrolls He said through His bond servant Paul that God the Spirit raised My Redeemer from the dead. Then I remembered in Genesis 1:26 of His Ancient Scrolls that He said the following:
"Then God said, "Let us make mankind in Our image, in our likeness..."
I thought, "who was God talking to? It couldn't be the Angels because they are not made in the image of God. Angels are His messengers."
Then a Hebrew Scholar read this to me in the original Hebrew out of the Ancient Scrolls founded in 1947-48 in Bedouin Caves in Qumran. This is the actual text from Moses.
כו. וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים נַעֲשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ וְיִרְדּוּ בִדְגַת הַיָּם וּבְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וּבַבְּהֵמָה וּבְכָל הָאָרֶץ וּבְכָל הָרֶמֶשׂ הָרֹמֵשׂ עַל הָאָרֶץ:
In the original Hebrew the word for Us and Our refers to a plural but compound unity. Not 1+1+1=3 but 1x1x1=1.
I still didn't fully comprehend it but then again I also can't comprehend the Love and Passion my Redeemer has for me in that He would lower Himself to His Creation to take my place on a Roman Cross. He did this knowing that the only way to make everything Right in His Creation was for Him to come here with His perfect sinless life and become the innocent lamb sacrificed on Passover for my life. He took my place knowing I would never do it on my own.
He knew the enemy has a Wide Road of Promises trying to deceive me daily from my Redeemer's Narrow Road that few will find.
- My Redeemer also told me He did this only if the agreement was to give all a free choice in the matter. He didn't want robots. When someone joins His Team He wants the cost of their decision to be well thought out before joining His team.
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." Psalm 51:17
He doesn't want anyone taking granted what He did and what the Cross means to the Creation of the Universe but especially for Mankind which is His most Prized Creation.
- Now I realize there is a cost involved in every decision I make especially when it comes to the Leadership of my life. For I know this allegiance will be passed on to many generations to come and has great repercussions.
- He told me many times both in the Ancient Scrolls and through His Spirit whispering to me, "for the Joy that was before Him He endured this Cross!"
- I asked Him what that Joy was that He was referring to?
He told me that the Joy was His deep love and pleasure He has for mankind. He told me it was a cost He was willing to endure with all of the Pain and Rejection. He told me if He didn't do it He could never connect with the billions of souls He fashioned past present and future as He wrote about in Psalm 139.
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." Psalm 139:13
My Redeemer told me that He gave His perfect life for my life so I could be with Him in the the mansion He is Fashioning for me in His Father's House.
- I Must Follow my Redeemer and no one else because He is the only one selfless enough to die in my place paying the price for my sins and shortcomings.
- I Must pass on this Good News before the sun goes down.
