From Blaise to Blaze

We have in every culture and generation tried to fill Blaise Pascal’s “God-shaped vacuum in every man’s heart” with long-shot human structures, rituals, symbolism, and irrational compromises of every kind. We all do it, we have all done it. Again and again. It doesn’t work.

Oh, for lucidity from birth, instead of “the hard way” for ALL of us!

While hungering and searching relentlessly for identity, community, understanding, peace, life, love…

We have been looking in the wrong places.

The entire human race has had to feel the Blaise, the God-shaped vacuum… in order to have the audacity and tenacity to search for the Blaze, the Life and Love and Fire of God Himself!

The spirit of prophecy is the Testimony of Jesus! The Second Adam, welcomed as the King over us, regardless of culture or previous world religion, whether Presbyterian or Papal, Buddhist or Baptist, Hindu or Atheist. He came for all of us, to share Heaven-Life DNA, with “ever-increasing Glory” as we “behold HIM.” He leads us to the Tree of Life to share in the Divine Nature, as we work to make our mammal DNA more and more subordinate to the God-Life infused into us at our “Faith of Abraham” moment of abandonment—the covenant-accepting ReBirth that comes through “saving faith, saving trust.”

Feel the Blaise, the “God-shaped vacuum,” then let go and feel the Blaze of His Life and Love and Wisdom! “THIS is the work of God, to believe on the One whom He sent.”

This is the Invitation, not to a special day with a special human presiding over a special meeting or building, with special words about a special topic. It is the Invitation to Come to HIM.

He invited us all, “Come to me. All you who are weary… and I will give you Rest.”

Jesus: “πραΰς εἰμι καὶ ταπεινὸς τῇ καρδίᾳ”—“I am praus and tapeinos in heart.”

“I am powerfully-gentle, and never self-important in heart.”

Come to Him, not about Him. Let the Great Shepherd of the sheep, the master Architect, show you how to participate in the Divine Nature, together, daily. Not meetings but FAMILY LIFE in the Spirit, as we “rise up and sit down and walk along the way,” and “live and move and have our being” in Him, the Second Adam, the “Life-giving Spirit” who knows our pain and weakness and came to be a bridge into a realm we would have had no right to even know about, let alone to Experience with Him.

How does all of this “look” to the nations and cultures, and those “seated in the circle around Jesus” of “every tribe and tongue”? It will look sooooo very different in every country or generation! But “our hearts will burn within us” in every language and culture and physical appearance, without “judging anyone after the flesh!” The “test” is the Spirit of Christ, the mystery withheld for ages and generations! They, we, will ALL… Experience Him—with our nation and neighborhood’s culture. Experience Him—with our language. And, while radically different to the human observer because of their previous culture, the Master Architect’s infrastructure will be universally intact for all. Whether ex-Muslims, ex-Christians, ex-Buddhists, ex-Atheists, ex-Hindus… all have Encountered the filling of the “GOD-SHAPED VACUUM” by the Spirit of the Living God! NOW, all with a “king over them” and Abraham’s kind of trust, “the faith of Abraham.” Their Life and DNA-Change in ReBirth is REAL, not a doctrine or world religion.

NOW, Experience Him with the Master Architect’s infrastructure, and His load-bearing truths supporting and undergirding all that He does, anywhere.

What is that infrastructure and architecture that every culture and expression, any ex-ANYTHING ANYWHERE will demonstrate? Instead of building on “sand” we must see… Devotion to daily Life and Love and vulnerability and self-sacrifice! “That the world may know.” What He builds will be unique to your nation and culture and daily life and your ex-Anything. But every architect knows the load-bearing, often-hidden infrastructure and foundational essentials are nonnegotiable. (Check out Hebrews 3:12–13 and “one another” list as an example of some of those essential foundational truths.)

There is SO much more to talk about, but please START now. Start by Seeking HIM, asking HIM to know HIM. Your words from your heart. He will hear you.

“Dry bones, you can’t get there from here”—but GOD can draw you to Himself, supernaturally, IF you will offer Him “the faith of Abraham” instead of the nonsense of mammal rituals and symbolism, man-made systems and even well-meaning medicine men and clergy—who ALSO can come to the Real Deliverer, as so many have and will.

For those who have been faithful, sincere, loving to the core, what then is the benefit of having applied yourselves and led your family as best you can amidst the evil of this present age? As Paul said, “Much in every way!”

“All things are possible, for those who abandon to Me,” says the Lord.

“In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.” (Dan.7:13–14)

God made us sit together in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us who are in Christ Jesus. (Eph.2)

And He did not come merely to educate us or start another religion. He came to put His Life within us. Eternity-Life. Not “go to heaven when I die.”
