Aquaint yourself with light

 Be friends with the True

 Make love your companion 

 Leave Him not out of your business 

Your daily dose of death is all thanks 

 To the one you've loved and lived for

 You did not chose to sorrow all your life

 You did not decide that gloom would be your destiny 

 You wished it good, blissful,and ecstatic 

 It is the promise of this lover that made you to choose him

 The Promise 

 To give you the world and make you it's owner
 

Now you have signed a bad contract 

 A contract designed against you 

 To make you slave yourself away

 For a price that can never satisfy 

Now you have gotten the world

 But you haven't really gotten it

 You see now how empty, vain, and incomplete it truly is

 And now you search for a joy that doesn't exist 

 For you have chosen a path that gives no peace 

 So you wallow in depression 

 Awaiting the night death will come

 For every day you live is become a night 

You wish to walk away, tear that contract 

 And truly live like one who has limbs

 But you fear you have no hope 

 You fear that death is yours to have 

But I tell you you can tear it 

 That contract you can tear it

 That agreement you can annul it

 You still have the choice to do so

 He could tell you you have no hope

 But I tell you now you do

 You can be free 

 You've gone far I know

 But you can be free

 You can be free

 You can

 You can

LIFE WITHOUT LIVING

Life is worth living,  
But there is a way to live  
to make it living.  
There is a how life is to be lived,

An essence which can't be neglected  
to make it living.  
We think we understand how to live,  
What to do, what not to do,

When to do, when not to do,  
Who to meet, whom not to meet,  
How to look, how not to look,  
Whom to love, whom to hate.

We feel we understand all the hows, whens,  
whos, wheres, whats...  
We feel with all of these  
we can say we lived as we ought to.

But does understanding all of these  
make us live life as we should have lived it?  
What is our own definition of living?  
From whom does the teachings of how we should lived come from?

Who taught us the hows, whoms, whats, wheres...  
Have we asked the Creator of Life  
on how we should live?  
Have we sought to know how he wants us to live?

Have we asked the Giver of Life  
on the essence of our lives?  
Do we really desire to live?  

The hope of life is tied to its essence.  
The essence of life is in its purpose.  
The purpose of life is hidden  
in the Gospel.

In the Gospel we find our hope,  
In the Gospel we find our essence,  
In the Gospel we find our purpose.  
Understanding the Gospel is understanding our life.

Living the Gospel is living Life as we Ought to.  
Life is not worth living  
until you've found the Gospel.  
Let's find the Gospel, Lets Live.

"For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring."
— Acts 17:28 (King James Version)

Faith Journey ★ Featured Thread
Formation into Creation
The call of man has never changed. From the beginning, God’s intention has been conformity to His own image, the expression of the Eternal in a created vessel. This is not a secondary theme in scripture, it is the central thread that runs from Genesis to Revelation. “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” establishes both the origin and the destiny of man. What God conceived in His heart, no corruption in time has been able to erase.
Though the fall introduced distortion, it did not cancel divine intention. The adversary altered formation, but he could not touch the original creation as it existed in God’s heart. This is why redemption is not merely about forgiveness, it is about restoration to divine purpose. As Jesus Christ declared and demonstrated, the goal is the bringing forth of a new creation. “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature” (2 Corinthians 5:17). This is not improvement of the old, but the unveiling of what God had always intended.
The apostolic emphasis aligns with this. In Romans 8:29, we see that those whom He foreknew, He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. Conformity is not optional, it is the very definition of salvation’s outcome. Colossians deepens this mystery, speaking of “Christ in you, the hope of glory” and unveiling “the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ” (Colossians 1:27, 2:2). This is the curriculum of heaven, God forming Himself within man.
Drawing from the spiritual weight often seen in the teachings of Watchman Nee and T. Austin-Sparks, we understand that God’s work is inward before it is outward. The cross is not only an event to be believed, it is an operation that dismantles the old formation so that the life of Christ may find full expression. The Spirit labors not just for activity, but for formation.
This perspective also resonates with the apostolic burden carried by ministers of the new testament, where emphasis is laid on spiritual growth as a structured journey. There are layers to this formation, dealings, teachings, seasons, and divine arrangements all aimed at producing Christ within. It is not accidental growth, it is intentional formation.
In contrast, the present world system is rapidly producing what scripture calls “vessels of wrath” and a generation aligned with perdition. Formation is happening on both sides. Darkness is discipling its own, accelerating corruption, shaping desires, and normalizing rebellion. This urgency makes the call of God even more critical. The church must not merely gather, it must form. It must become a spiritual institution where men are trained, broken, instructed, and built into the image of Christ.
The agency of this transformation is grace. “The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us…” (Titus 2:11-12). Grace is not passive, it instructs, disciplines, and empowers alignment with God. Yielding to grace is yielding to divine formation. It teaches us to deny ungodliness and to live in a way that reflects the nature of God.
Therefore, the call remains clear. In a time where false formations are multiplying, believers must uphold the banner of divine purpose. This requires intentional yielding, a willingness to be taught, corrected, and shaped by God. It requires embracing the full scope of God’s curriculum, from revelation to discipline, from doctrine to experience.
God is still after His image in man. What He conceived before time is what He is bringing to pass now. The question is whether we will submit to His process. For in the end, it is not activity that will stand, but formation. Not appearance, but conformity. Not mere belief, but the full expression of Christ in us.

CONVERSION PROCESSS
The present state of the human soul requires conversion to inherit Everlasting Life. What is this conversion, from a fallen man to a Spirit (Christ), then to a Living soul? The technology is Christ (Power), Rom 1:16. All flesh has returned to dust without a conversion process to restore human common sense; we are all in the grave. The process does not end with receiving the Life of Christ but continues the journey unto Everlasting Life. 
“Question? Is there another Life after Everlasting Life, then if there's what is next? If there's not, why will Paul say in 1 Corinthians 15:19 (KJV)
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.  ”

I have observed a troubling and consistent trend over the past year: an increase in premature deaths. It feels as though the illnesses that once only claimed the elderly are now tightening their grip on the young. While I am not moved by fear, I have been brooding over this reality. I have come to realize that we cannot simply assume a spiritual "covering" belongs to us by default.
The secret to the protection of the Passover was the physical application of the blood upon the lintel—it was an act of obedience, not merely a verbal claim of identity. There are times when God is looking for those who are truly in a covenant relationship, rather than those simply confessing the covenant. Many who have fallen prematurely surely confessed and claimed promises of longevity, yet the trend of decadence continues.
I woke up recently with a sudden "knowing." There is a high level of decay in the world today that is reflecting in the shortened lifespan of man. The very fiber of the human body seems to be weakening, returning to the "dust" proclaimed in Genesis.
In this climate, the guarantee of long life is tied to the hope of salvation. According to Psalm 91:16, God promises: “With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.” This suggests that long life is a provision for a specific kind of person one who is looking for salvation from the onset. God grants the length of days so that the believer has the necessary time to lay hold of and fully witness His saving power. Brethren, let us labor at following salvation, this is the only guarantee for Good keeping us alive for long "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them." — Deuteronomy 30:19-20 (King James Version).

What prompted building brethreign(tentative)
I used to be active on Twitter (reading post wise) (now X), but early last year, I made a startling discovery: I was coming away from the platform feeling empty and void. The environment had numbed something vital within me. I found myself becoming desensitized to things that should be jarring—the culture of "who can insult the loudest," the pervasive pornographic images quietly registering in my subconscious, and the flood of fake news designed solely for engagement.
Eventually, I stayed away and deleted my account. I was left with one simple, driving question: "What if there was a safe space—exactly like Twitter—but a place where people leave with life rather than death?"
That question became the catalyst for my labor on this platform. I wrote the very first line of code for it on May 14, 2025. Looking at what we have built today, exactly one year later, I am filled with hope and excitement for the future.

We can't stake our life on the Promise of eternal life and not be serious with God. Either we don't understand what we're saying, or we've been bewitched. Ahhh, please we shouldn't play with our life if we're not ready to be committed.

The Promise isn't automatically received by being Born Again. Being born again doesn't give it to us; it only gives us entrance to begin the journey. We have to journey to the end to receive it. But it is sure that if we follow God, we will have it. If it were received by being Born Again, the Scriptures wouldn't tell us to make our calling and election sure: 
"Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make our calling and election sure: for if we do these things, we shall never fall:" 
— 2 Peter 1:10 (KJV)

The journey of salvation requires us to walk diligently. We can't stop being diligent. We can't stop pressing. We can't grow weary of the journey. It won't be easy, but we can have the Promise.

"And we desire that every one of us do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That we be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises." 
— Hebrews 6:11-12

The Threshing Floor of Clay(A CHRONICLE OF FLESH TO SPIRIT)
The Threshing Floor of Clay
The dust of this country is a heavy thing.
 It clings to the hem, it settles in the bone,
 A weight of dying where the shadows cling,
 And every mortal heartbeat cries alone.
 For we have walked the markets of the beast,
 Where Babylon sells souls for silver coin, 
And sat as beggars at a hollow feast, 
Feeding the restless hunger of the loin.
The flesh is a fierce warden, 
loud and blind, Demanding worship for its passing breath,
A subtle rope of vanity designed To bind the living to the law of death.
 We feel the pull, the warfare in the veins, 
The ancient rot that whispers of despair
 But look! Above the smoke of burning plains, 
A quiet Glory breathes upon the air.
The Breaking of the Veil
“"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life..."”

It is not a dream of some far-off, distant sky, 
But blood and marrow made completely whole. 
The God who pitched His tent to watch us die Has breathed His very nature in the soul.
 He does not merely pity our decay,
 Or mend the tattered garments that we wore;
 He tears the shroud of mortality away,
 And flings a wider, deeper, living door.
The inheritance is not a crown of gold,
 Nor streets of glass where lonely spirits tread. 
It is the Life that never can grow old, 
The Breath of God that wakes the sleeping dead. 
To share His being! To partake His name! 
To find our pulse within the Great I AM! 
A roaring fire, a holy, consuming flame, 
The bride made ready for the bleeding Lamb.
The Morning Star Rises
So let the kingdoms of this world collapse, 
Let Babylon go down into the sea. 
Let time devour all its fading maps,
 For we are anchored in Eternity.
 The war is fierce, the corruption presses nigh,
 But oh, the Hope that anchors in the veil! 
The mortal flesh will stumble and will die,
 But God’s own Life within us cannot fail.
We are His daughters; we are His chosen sons. 
The ancient night is giving way to dawn.
 The river of His life already runs 
The corruption ceases.
 The Eternal has begun.
