Can You See Him? WWJST?

Revelation 2 & 3
POEM:
Tell me: What Would Jesus Say Today?
In an American church, would He stay?
Or just walk away - wish He didn't knock
Leave the church in shock, watch Jesus walk
Not skipping down the block, never crucified
Not a Christian blogging about who had lied
He would address 7 churches, share his mind
A righteous judge, He's been prepared in time
Before it existed, He spoke it into existence
Speaking of Himself, no resistance just persistence
Thoughts plague minds with doctrinal literacy
Beef it up for Jesus, not an optional delivery
The letters have been sent, no theological junk
Filthy rags have a scent of a psychological skunk
There is nothing more meaty than Jesus
Beef up Christology, LORD lead us
Remember how high & how far we have fallen
Repent! Do the works. That's why He's callin'
Otherwise, your lampstand will be removed
Reflect & go back go the joy of your youth
No sync problems, words match up with character
They perceive unpolitely, about His figure
So many seasons, but He is sovereign
Many had Him, left Him, dismiss Him & forgotten
Too many spoiled and rotten, sippin on syrup
Begging for milk money, livin to burn up
When the trumpet sounds, He will (still) rule
Flexing His muscles, with enemies as His foot stool
So pure & righteous, even said to Thyatira
Eyes a fiery flame, feet of refinin' fire
Rise from nothing, like a branch from a stump
Made something, it's something - stand don't strut
Seven spirits of God with seven stars
He is the annointed one, holding you in His hands
Yeah He's got the whole world, but we don't listen
Pray everyday? You text but don't call. PAY ATTENTENTION!
Remember how high & how far we have fallen
Repent! Do the works. That's why He's callin'
Otherwise, your lampstand will be removed
Reflect & go back go the joy of your youth
People give up the palace, for the pig pen
You are royalty, and you've been forgiven
Left what you were given, your inheritance
Sorrow will follow into repentence
Why be P.C.? You'll end up P.C. in hell
Politically Correct equals religiously fail
Entitled to nothing, BUT by God's grace
Replace a sour taste, return - seek His face
SCRIPTURE:
1 John 5:20
Isaiah 11
Luke 2
QUOTE:
"Jesus would either be a lunatic - on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this mans was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us." C.S. Lewis

Stop Praying! Seek, Listen, & Heed. Obey + Love
Last month seemed like a huge test or trial for many of those I care about. This month has been better yet kind of excruciating. I am overwhelmed by a relentless God. Yes. It's crazy love. We immediately seek counsel, or pray. But I have a suggestion (as suggested by Francis Chan)...
STOP PRAYING!
What if I told you to stop talking AT God for a while, but instead to take a long, hard work at Him before you speak another word? Solomon warned us not to rush into God's presence with words. That's what fools do. And often, that's what we do.
Be obedient: listen and take heed to what you hear.
God has placed a number of you in my life for a divine purpose. I love that I don't have to walk this life alone. This battle is brutal but the war is enduring. I am a soldier moving forward into battle with my armour. And with my shield of faith to prevent firey darts from hitting me. But the enemy is unfair and keeps shooting them at me, when I'm my weakest, and even when I'm my strongest.
My faith may withstand a few arrows. But eventually it will wear me down and I will no longer be able to move forward. I will be caught dead in my tracks. I pray for help. I thank God He has placed you guys there on the frontline with me. If I didn't have back up, I would be captured and devoured by the enemy.
Let's get each other's backs. Allow us to uplift and encourage one a other. Not only pray, but share our joy for the Lord. Let us share our testimonies. We are all going through something right now. We need to be encouraged and strengthened. Let's unite as one body. Under God. Indivisible. With liberty and justice.
You guys have listened to me. You have answered my questions. You have been there for me when I needed inspiration. I appreciate you all. Even when you aren't 100%, you give me just what I need. I praise God and I thank Jesus for you and your willingness and your desire for God. I love you passion. I love how He blesses you. And through those blessings I am blessed as well.
I pray I can do and be the same for you.
May God bless you with grace, peace, mercy, patience, self-control, love, gentleness, kindness, hope, and faith. I pray you find wisdom as you seek him as well.

Can You See Him? Portraits of Jesus
Can You See Him? Portraits of Jesus
4/11/2010 www.WSFC.org
Pastor John Fehlen
POEM:
Here's a revelation that will tear corsets to pieces
John will illustrate some 'Portraits of Jesus'
You can break it down using numerology
That's 'Much Ado About Nothing'-theology
Eschatology, I haven't read Rev. since I was a teen
'Symbology', realize Jesus has always been seen
Similar to Magic Eye; the picture of Christ
'Can You See Him' glorified? Brighter than lights
Suffering servant, that's a familiar portrait
Nothing attractive about his poor trait
Watch blood pour straight, flowing grace
This will wash sins away, with pain replaced
As he was, now reveal who he is & will become
All sovereign. All knowing & powerful thee Son
Not a Freddy Kruger state - that might scare
This is John's dream, not an Elm Street nightmare
Fall to His feet
As though you're dead
Feel His right hand
Laid upon your head
Isaiah fifty-three
That was the past
Fear not!
He's the first and the last
The Living One
Died, now alive forever more
Of Death + Hades
He has the keys to the door
Jesus never refuted his divinity
He always was one third of the trinity
Christ is King, he's God as well
What else would he die for? Do tell
Since the dawn of man 'US' includes Him
He knows your deeds, you can't elude sin
A prelude to grim, such a great authority
Superior like white snow as it flows to the sea
Some grow to greed, pray to be slow to speak
Don't know your need? Grow and Breathe
Don't be passive, speak up and speak out
Declare MAJESTY, he has reached down
Stand at attention, prepare to respond
He will return, he'll be here, it won't be long
30 years life 3 year ministry, then atonement
Never compromised, he was always poor and homeless
Fall to His feet
As though you're dead
Feel His right hand
Laid upon your head
Isaiah fifty-three
That was the past
Fear not!
He's the first and the last
The Living One
Died, now alive forever more
Of Death + Hades
He has the keys to the door
SCRIPTURE:
Revelation 1:12-18
Isaiah 53
Mark 12
John 10
Daniel 7
Hebrews 4:12
NOTES:
9 descriptions of JESUS
1. Robe (Authority)
The greater the authority the longer the robe
2. Sash (Dignity)
All GOLD, not just a thread
3. Head & Hair (Divinity)
4. Eyes (Clarity)
5. Feet (Purity)
Lamb of God without blemish
6. Voice (Majesty)
Stand & Declare like a mighty and strong lion
7. Hand (Security)
Holds the entire church
8. Mouth (Supremacy)
Not a dagger, but a battle weapon - 5x in NT
9. Face (Glory)
