The Book of Remembrance
There is a Story: The Book of Remembrance.
There is a Story that The LORD has been putting together that has many characters participating.
Not all the characters are really willing participants in the story. Every story has its protagonists and antagonists, all being put together in a plot that will be revealed as the story unfolds.
In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God. Without this Word, there is nothing made that was made.
This Word became the power working in the characters that were created by The Author, for the purpose of working all things together for the good. The Author is called, “The Word That is Sent.”
As stated previously, not all characters were willing participants in the story. There are staunch antagonists that were created for the story, but were still given free will, to attempt to stop any good reason for which the story is being created.
These people have it within them to prevent the success of those the Author called for the purpose of creating Unity in The Body of the story.
The Author intended for The Body of the story to become comprehensive, fitly framed together, you know, like living stones put together to become one structure, held together by that which is supplied to make it a sound Body.
But the antagonists have been having a hay day with the free will that they have within the story. They cause disillusionment, fear, doubt, lovers of pleasure, demonic oppression, demonic possession, strife, hatred, witchcraft, unfaithful, liars, bearing false witness, causing strongholds in the minds of those who strive to know the truth of the story’s Creator.
They even crucified the One who is known as The Word That Was Sent.
But the “Word That Was Sent” became flesh and dwells among us; and now, every day we are beholding His glory, the glory of the only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
The “Word That Was Sent” is also the Author and Finisher of your Faith.
We are looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith, Who for the joy that was set before Him, endured the Cross, despising its shame and is set down at the right hand of the Father, and makes intercession for you.
Every moment of your life The LORD is writing your life’s story:
“Then those who feared The LORD talked with each other, and The LORD listened and heard. A book of remembrance was written in His presence concerning those who feared The LORD and honored His Name. “On that day when I act” says The LORD Almighty, “they will be My treasured possession. I will spare them just as a father has compassion and spares His son who serves him. And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.” Malachi 3:16-17
