ATTENTION: It's Not About You

 

It’s not about you. 

THIS foundational impetus, understanding … is a key that unlocks, breaks spiritual stultification.  It is also a most powerful, devastating, effective offensive AND defensive weapon in this day of raging spiritual battle.

Truly.

The fallen . . . are constantly trying to get noticed, garner attention . . . from other creatures.

Who thinks of and cares about the One who gives every living breath? Who gives water, food, a moment under the sun?  Minutes, hours, days, weeks, months--often years--go by . . . and yet barely a thought of concern, gratitude, imploring, calling out to the Creator of it all. . . .

Yet, note . . . in the heavenly realm, the angels and the saved and all the rest of creation there cannot get enough of worshipping, loving, basking in . . . the presence of God.

YES . . . of course, there is something about YOU.  You are precious as any rarest gem, any worldly treasure--unique and "fearfully and wonderfully made" . . . beyond anything you can presently grasp (though sometimes, I dare say you do, albeit "through a glass darkly"). . . . YES, you are infinitely important and intrinsically woven into the unfathomable, awesome, beautiful tapestry of God's creations. . . .

Here, now . . . however, there is such a push and a diabolical premium on calling attention to oneself--to create your own little (temporary) kingdom of fame, security, recognition . . . so that, it is essential and effective to recall . . . that in THIS LIFE . . . OUR PURPOSE . . . as those created in His image--Imago Dei--is to ultimately know and experience intimately: "For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen." --Romans 11:36

We waste so much time straining for gnats here, worried about our worldly future, yearning for attention like little children toddlers. . . . WHEREAS . . . at some point, we need to grow up, and stop begging crumbs from the fallen and instead yearn and crave but only the attention of our Father Creator.

YES!  THAT IS A CRAVING WORTH TIME AND EFFORT IN THIS WORLD!!!

Imagine today, tonight . . . were your last moments in this world. . . .

How would you want to be found?  Griping, fighting, scrapping for attention from doomed fools?  Griping, complaining about this or that?. . . .Worrying, shouting for attention so much, such that you cannot hear the still, small, BUT INFITINETLY powerful, direct voice of God?.....?

ATTENTION.

It's a thing.  Hence we see how the enemy has "weaponized" it through "social media" constructs. . . .

We indeed are each, one and all, craving attention.  Attention . . . is like electro-magnetic power, amidst the ether and heavens--an energy source . . . which can be directed and harnessed. . . . HENCE, why the enemy and the wicked ones specialize in directing "attention energy" . . . . . . . . .

Demons, spirits, fallen people, various beings, etc., (those not on the path of sanctification) all seek to harness, use, monetize, manipulate . . . the power of ATTENTION (fame, power, money, crime, petty concerns, evil etc.) whether they are consciously deliberately doing so or not.  Psychopaths do this, often unconsciously.  The dark adepts, the occultists, who understand the wielding of "attention energy" do it deliberately and ritually. . . . But sadly, also, many, many do it unconsciously at the behest and manipulation of such adepts. . . . This is the world.  Especially today. . . . Family, friends, the public . . . the town square . . . it's all going on. . . .

ATTENTION is energy. . . . Where you put it, things grow . . . or destruct . . . depending on the spirit/Spirit YOU are involved with. . . . One is Good.  The other . . . is bad.

Where do you apply, focus your attention?  

If this were the last day of your life . . . what will you be found doing, thinking about, desiring? Loving?  . . . . . . . GOD?

In the worldly way, yes . . . it's about you. 

In the Kingdom of God . . . it's ALL ABOUT GOD!

The devil hates that, and so do his/its minions. . . . Hence temptation to take you away from directing your attention (devotion/heart) toward God, but instead to self and those (demons) who can (temporarily) boost your self's importance, pre-eminence. . . .

When you find and give ***The Lord Son, God Father, Holy Spirit*** the proper and SINCERE, MIND-BLOWN, FACE-DOWN, WORSHIPFUL, AMAZED, GRATEFUL, LOVING, DEVOTIONAL, SELF-SACRIFICIAL, ADORING ATTENTION HE obviously merits and draws (if you've got Eyes to See it) . . . . Well . . . THEN . . . you will find out how special and worthy of HIS attention YOU are. . . . !  WHICH IS A LOT AND HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU EVER!  HE LOVES YOU, HE MADE YOU and HE HAS AN INCREDIBLE DESIGN AND PURPOSE FOR YOUR ONE-OF-A-KIND BEING/CHILD-OF-GOD!  It's incredible and face-down, fall flat on the temple floor astounding once you See it, Hear it, Know it, by His Grace!

HAH! BUT it's not about you!  This is a key truth to know and love!....  It's also a profound weapon and defense in these surreal times of fully engaged spiritual warfare....SO THAT IT WILL BE ABOUT YOU and GOD--YOU ENJOYING AND WORSHIPPING GOD FOREVER!

Just sayin'. . . . :)

That's what He's telling me today:)

YOU know this:)

God bless you.

Love you. . . . . !

He does!
