My Spiritual Retreat

I wasn't sure if I could do this... I wasn't sure if I could write about this... the memories are fresh, but they are fading. The Lord of creation is sustaining. The friends and family are praying. I have strength enough to write what will come. The last few blog entries have been quick and sharp - straight from the heart. I have felt overcome by a power, some Spiritual force... not because I'm inspired - not because what I write is worth anything... but because I'm so broken... so toiled, that my fingers simply type... and my only hope is that darkness does not appear on the screen. For my soul is wretched and sought by two sides. And whomever shall win? This is the story of good versus evil. Jesus is the Light. He is salvation. He is purity. He is God. No One compares! The only Gospel of Jesus Christ has been written. Hate what I write. But the Good News of what God has done through me not only continues, but I must perish if I don't record it! Jesus is Lord. I am but His humble servant.

Ha ha... programs crashing. Jesus doesn't work in this way. He has power over computers... but His power needs not be displayed against me, for I worship Him. The enemy doesn't want me to write what I am writing. But if God be for us, who can be against us?! Claim the power of Jesus name, He be forever praised. The ruler of the power of the kingdom of the air has failed. His dominion has a short number of days remaining! There is no darkness in the Light of Christ. God was pleased to display the fullness of Himself in Jesus, His Son. All others fade. All others fade! Jesus dwells in unapproachable light, all who approach Him must be so on bended knee! I long to touch His toes, but that's not enough! He has called me "brother" and cleansed me from sin, from deep within. My chest is full of Light. My heart is full of Light. My eyes are full of Light! My brain is full of Light! The Spirit of the Living God is within me. No darkness has claim here in my soul! Satan must flee in Jesus name! Jesus has all power and dominion forever and ever! Jesus! Jesus! Praise the name of Jesus! Glorify the Lord with me, saints! Praise His name forever! He is Lord. He is God. All are below. He is above! Great is His name in all the earth! Glorify Him with me! Great is the Lord! He is mighty to save! There is none like Him! Folly are all those who do not seek Him!

Create in me a pure heart, O God! Defend my case in court, O God! Righteous in Your dwelling place You are, O my God! I cannot stand to hide from You. There are no secrets from You. Nothing is hidden from You, O Lord, my God! May we all stand in Your presence, unashamed, for we desire to live with You forever and ever! You are Light. You are beauty. You are crimson solid white gold of fire and power beyond compare! Words fail to describe You. You are lofty, beyond our description. You are KING. You are pure! You are holy. Make us holy, as you are. Not so we can steal Your glory. We want YOU to be praised above all! You are God! You are the righteous One! All powers, all darkness bows before Your name. Your face is too bright to look into. We long to see the eyes of your beautiful grace peer inside our souls and burn out all the darkness! Let there be no darkness there! All the sin that we hold dear, all the idols. Destroy them in Your holy grace. Your holy name is above all! Beat that, Satan! Beat me with broken software and crashing junk?! No, for I have the power of CTRL+C and CTRL+V... ain't just here now (CTRL+Christ, CTRL+Victor). It's in another program. It's saved on the desktop. Beat that! Huh! Do you think you control the power over Christ Himself!? The power of Christ is above you. You are nothing. You cannot stand in His presence! He broke the power that you thought you had! You made a stupid mistake by trying to be like Him. Did you think He was your brother? Did you think you were brighter than Him? Did you think you could beat Him in a battle? Did you think your arm was stronger than His? Mighty is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, who steps on your head! Strike His heal, and you will die. No brother of Jesus are You! Jesus is your Lord. Jesus is your Master! Fire awaits you, for you have no power! You think you stole this world. You think you own the souls here. No one but Jesus is our Lord! No one but He can satisfy our souls. We hate you, for you are against the Lord of Hosts, the bright and mighty King of earth. Yes, even earth is His. He died to "earn" it. The souls here are under His control. He alone has the power to cast into hell or save. You have no power. Your time is limited. Fear and cower in shame, for you chose the wrong god. The power of Jesus Christ and the living Word of God is in me. No one can take a captive except the Lord of Hosts. I will follow Him all of my days. He will lead me beside still waters and green pastures. Even the darkest place is no place to hide! Not even you can hide from Him. He will find you out. The souls that walk the earth are in His hand alone! You have no claim over any of them! Jesus Christ is Lord of all! He owns it all, for it was created through Him, He sustains it by the power of the hand of His Father! Jesus and God are One. The Holy Spirit, who is one with God and Jesus is in us who are now considered the body of Christ! That's right. Jesus did not leave this world. In fact, He has only increased His dominion in the form of many---we are all His temples. We are the ones who are against you in this world! No one can stand in our way, for Christ Himself is in us! We will not succumb to your small plans of darkness. We will expose your weak powers. We will destroy your work in this world. The Righteous King Himself has declared it. There is no one besides our God! He sits enthroned on high! He is the Lord! He is our King! No one can stand against Him. He is our righteousness. He is our Light. He is our salvation. No one can stand against Him! Praise the Lord of Hosts. He is righteous and holy. He dwells in unapproachable LIGHT. He is the Light. We ourselves cannot bear His presence! Yet He calls us to Himself! He gave Himself for us! He died to set us free! No power can stand up against us, for the power of Christ Himself has set us free!

We are captives of the Love of Jesus Christ. We willingly follow Him into battle against the dark forces of this world! We have no Lord except our God! We follow the One who saved us from death! We will not dwell in darkness any longer. He fights our battles. He stands firm before us. He lights our way. He is our Salvation. No one can stand against us. We are the body of Christ. He is our Power. The Holy Spirit is within us. No darkness, no shadow, no corner will be a place for rest. We will shine them out! Sin has no place in us. Jesus is our Righteousness. His robe is beautiful. His face is shining. He is alive in us. Great is His faithfulness! Fall before His face, for Jesus is God Himself! Declare His name above the heavens! Shout of His righteousness on the rooftops! Hear O heavens, listen O earth, for the Lord Jesus is God! He Himself has made our salvation and our rest sure! We will enter the rest of the Father who reigns on high! Great is our God, in Him there is no darkness. He is the power and the dominion and the glory forever and ever!
