From The Authors Heart

Books are a preacher’s whiskey--or so the saying goes

This book is a work from the heart to bring glory to God, to His created works, and how amazing His love really is for you and I.

It is a story from the garden of God birthing hope in human form; a story of “Thorns and Thistles” causing a disturbance and distortion of the original harmony of God's creation.

Sin was introduced into the nature of humankind and earth alike by which the flesh gained the mastery over the human spirit instead of being more and more transformed into the life through the spirit of God for the new heaven and earth to come!

All of creation on earth becoming a prey to death spreading like a disease over the material world; so that everywhere on earth there were to be seen wild and rugged waste lands with desolation and ruin, death and corruption causing paradise to be lost.

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
Said---Apostle Paul

This is a story about the beginning of sin; about everything injurious to humankind has been released as the earth itself carried into effect a curse that would bring to life the connection between sin and evil taking all that was perfect into becoming imperfect till the perfect would come righting all that is wrongs and giving in the flesh.

The path of the righteous is like the dawning light, which shines more and more until the perfect day!
Said---King Solomon

A perfect bringing a solution to the wrath of God on account of sin being revealed as man gave up his godly nature to own this new ungodly nature bearing fruits of gratification for his own sinful lusts and desires turning against himself making all good for him become poisonous and destructive in his fall.

The earth itself produced one thorn that would change the world and bring mankind back into the loving arms of God called the Arabian nabk (The feathery tamarisk) most suitable having many sharp thorns, which to inflict painful wounds easily plaited in the form of a crown for a King of all sinners to receive!

The mercy and long-suffering of God afforded space for repentance, and so controlled and ordered the sin of men and the punishment of sin, as to render them subservient to the accomplishment of His original purpose and the glorification of His name from Thorns and Thistles of sin to the Thorns and Thistles of salvation giving hope to all of mankind.

Sometimes the thorns and thistles becomes Purgatory; A place of pruning, a mystery yet to be solved! But when time ends and eternity begins all things will be known to us.

This is a story of one life; a story of two hearts made one and yet it will mirror the lives of so many others; it is the life of one woman; real or fictional the mystery is yours to decide; it is a message of hope and it is a message of love that unfolds the faith of two souls made one in the darkest of seasons of human experience from loss and abuse, hopelessness, murder, and homelessness for Gods glory in becoming a messenger of hope for the souls she has been appointed to touch like the Masters hand at creation.

This story is cloaked in a mysterious world of fact and fiction that cannot be seen unless it is revealed by the power that created all things called Elohim and it is the same power behind this book and behind each of His children becoming like Him!

For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. For everything hidden is meant to be revealed, and everything concealed is meant to be brought to light.

So beloved ones, now that we are the sons and daughters of God we have yet to fully understand what we shall be: but this we know, that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him because we shall see Him as He is!

Words found in ancient text millennium years old; stories told by Saint Luke the Evangelist, Apostle Mark, and John “The one whom Jesus loved.

” Stories of living words printed upon paper and we each have a story to be told; one with a beginning and an end, but for the ones who answered the call like those of Luke, Mark, John, and the countless others we are transformed into a people having no beginning nor ending, having no time, but an eternity of service to a Holy God called “Elohim Kedoshim.”

It is a destiny that God wants us all to follow; it is a destiny in advancing His love, His Hope, His Mercy, and His Grace speaking into our hearts “I Am Depending upon You!”

We each have a life-course designed perfectly for us and yet we are given a freewill choice to map out our own life or to follow the one God has mapped out prior to your birth. Words we can find as being true in Psalm chapter 139 verse 16 proclaiming “You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.”

It is hard to get a hold of the depth of all this knowing that God wrote a book about us; a record of our life has been mapped out and penned by God before you were born and yes, it will be a story of bumps, bruises, and even wrecks due to bad choices. Wrong choices detour us—but do not be discouraged or condemned.

When we stray from the course, genuine repentance can right the journey.

We live in a fallen world. Consequently, Jesus said we would have tribulation and would suffer adversity. The good news is that because God knew what manner of evil would try to overtake us before we were born; He made paths for us to escape and even come out triumphant. This is why He calls us “over-comers” in His Word.

What will be your story? What will be your journey? Maybe it will be like the journey of Gods little lamb Shellie; one having many rocky roads, but one that does live out the words of Hebrews 12:1 that exhorts us all:
Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.

Therefore, you have a book; at least two one about your life and one about your deeds and that path will determine if your name is found in a very special book called “The Lambs Book of Life.”

In God's book store you will find a book about you and it is written upon the foundation of His love and completing this story is crucial not only for you but also for those you are called to influence. It is important not to write on pages given to us by the world but on the ones God has put before us, because the impact of our faithfulness will go far beyond what we can see.

I hope and pray you will find what I pulled from Abba Fathers bookshelf of life a book called “Purgatory; A place of pruning to be enlightening and intriguing enough to join Shellie, John, Abba Father and the host from heaven as we battle through time upon this earth called purgatory.
