Miley Cyrus Can't Be Tamed Video, a Block and a Break and the Sum, Light and Darkness, Notes from the Wilderness

Cloud from Final Fantasy Children of Advent, He is the 'good guy' btw, fighting the powers of evil

I have been taking a much needed break from blogging, as I attempted to write the following series with Scripture on Miley Cyrus's video and I was in a strong mental block.  I didn't know Why at the time, but that same day I watched a series, "Wild Pacific" on Discovery and then boom, boom, God just started showing me tons of things,  pertaining to things HE had been working and wanting to work in me/my life.  Some of which I will eventually in HIS season will incorporate into  the following series of the video/comparative analysis, of the Miley Can't Be Tamed Video, etc.   You see the thing is, there isn't like this Outline of scriptures pertaining to the nature cycle [other than in Job and one I know of in Psalms] and it's relation to spirituality and our Life in Christ, but they are All OVER the WORD.  I've seen numerous of them but what I am seeing now is more that so much of what I've noticed through the Spirit showing me pertains to my heart...the human heart, so much that HE wanted to show me where I need change, growth, growth in His knowledge, to be Transformed, etc.

.and I am learning that sometimes God says NO,  to my writing everything down, one because it's not ABOUT ME....and I am also learning, that I don't have to Explain everything or Prove everything or anything for that matter, that all I have to do is Live, Christ living in me, and it's really what one SEE's, not HEAR's through me, etc., and that somethings or often times what is revealed is to be pondered, reflected and Personally walked in.  So, with that in mind...

a few of those 'revelations' that I feel comfortable in sharing, the first being Light and Darkness,

let's take a look at this video again, then I have just a few comments to make on it.  Just right click on it to open another window...

when I saw this video, I first thought, OK one of those dark leaning to really dark videos, types of dark metal music, but I was urged to watch the entire thing, which I did, then one thing immediately came to mind,

Isaiah 45:7 (King James Version)

 ⁷I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Religion has always 'boxed' things in either Good or Evil, Black or White, the Knowledge Tree,

and when we Stay in that Knowledge Tree we miss something very important...that WE can't see because OUR HEARTS, ARE 'DARK', 'EVIL' AND BLOCKED.

LIFE


WE see things in black and white, good and evil...but we Stop there, we don't see Beyond that--


a tree, casts a shadow, that shadow is darkness.  

 
In some places, this permanent shade [numerous hours of day] is detrimental to many forms of plant and insect life.  We tend to see Darkness as the EVIL only force, that is to be avoided at all costs.  Darkness doesn't feel good, it is sorrow, it is sadness, it is even death,

but DARKNESS can also be LIFE,

that same darkness that can limit, hinder or kill life, can also save life...as this photo shows

 Those same shadows, depending on place, time, use can Save LIFE, by providing refuge, shade, protection!

If one was stranded in the deserts and found Shade that Shade, that Darkness can give them precious hours, especially when there is a shortage of water and other food nutrients.  Many plants, flowers and insects cannot survive Without shade, darkness...

Our hearts, can see in Black and White only, Good and Evil only, because it is our Hearts that are Dark, 

when we let GOD change our hearts then we can see LIFE in that darkness as well as in light,

live in spite of evil, Resurrection, because LOVE controls both, LOVE can use both for LIFE.

I use to believe that when it says in Revelations that Heaven is Light that there would only be this white light, like a sterile hospital room with these bright white lights and to be honest my heart would be a lot of sad because I like the seasons, I like color, I like textures and things in Nature.  Over time God showed me,

that scripture does not mean, there would be no darkness as in shade of light, but that there would be no Spiritual Darkness that would cause us to only see through hearts of evil, dark, not seeing the LIFE and LOVE force that operates,

like the depiction of the Raven in Miley's Video, that video could be seen through the hearts of darkness as only this video of this music industry girl grown into woman becoming raunchy, etc., and maybe that is what the market intended, who knows,

but what I did find interesting is when doing a google search, and also the blogs I read, just how many are Quick to jump on the things that point out to Darkness, that point out to negativity [myself included], how we are inclined to think that way, to act that way, to SEE that way,

and then I thought, Maybe that is the purpose of so much in our lives, is to Teach us, that there is something MORE...that it's HOW WE SEE

not WHAT we see.

This does not imply that there isn't evil, there sure is, but I wonder, is the evil in the world so much created by GOD or by our own evil hearts and how we SEE through the eyes of Law, Judgment, Darkness because we have no LOVE, and because we have no LOVE and therefore we humanity act on those things...that good and evil, knowledge, that death,

where as, GOD creates LIFE, creates LIFE out of DEATH, LOVE out of HATE, if HE so chooses,

because GOD is HOLY, to me Holy means Whole, Holistic, with good intent,

where iniquity is the opposite, without good intent, or something to that accord.  Maybe this is why King David said to God when he was given a choice of punishment he preferred God's punishment rather than at the hand of man.

So why did I choose the Final Fantasy character Cloud?  Because it just fit, [and it will go with the series I will be doing Using the game story of Final Fantasy Children of Advent and a few others later on this fall-winter]

 

Psalm 121 (King James Version)

Psalm 121

 ¹I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

 ²My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

 ³He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

 ⁴Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

 ⁵The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

 ⁶The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

 ⁷The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

 ⁸The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

God is not the problem, it is our Hearts...

when we see things in only Black and White, we miss so much, God shows us, all through Nature,

 Oh how we don't see the blue-red blood that is LIFE in them [minus the bug] OR how all living creatures breath the same Cloud laced Air...

but Most of All,

may we see, how GOD, the LORD GOD, sees us,

Black and White we may be, but HE sees us through the eyes of GRACE.  It's not HIS vision that is cloudy, it is Ours...HIS gift to us, the world, it isn't GOD who shuts us out, it is us when we choose to shut HIM out, when we choose to only see darkness and black and white and Reject His LOVE and GRACE, that HE extended to ALL, not just a few chosen, but to All....it is OUR hearts, not HIS, that are


dark. 

Notes from the Wilderness, stay tuned, more will be coming....

in season, in time,

in the shadows.

Love,
