We Wait

We are all subject to the element of change. My eyes have been opened to how much can change is so little time. One day we will stop being subjected to the element of time, but never to change. Things will always be changing, in this life definitely, and even in the next also.

I remember a time ago when kids were kids, and kids didn’t have kids of their own. A time where parents were parents and (it seemed at least) these parents and their kids had infallible joy, a visible presence of love, and knowledge of hope. This time looked like Sunday school plays, youth skits and mimes, dad hugs and kisses, it smelled like homemade everything and the perfume of the moms who cooked it, the air was filled with the sounds of laughter, singing, the good kind of crying, and hollering from the crazy games that children played.

Years later, these parents are grandparents, and these kids are “parents”. There is a new generation and for now they are babies. However one day these babies will be grown and what will they be? I look beyond myself and see a many of people in line to make decisions, life altering situations waiting to happen, and I wonder, will these babies be kids with kids, or will they be parents?

Kids are having kids and the first set of kids (it would be logical to think) had to have learned this from someone. We can suppose that the parents of the kids are the reason, and then what is the reason for the parents? their parents? and their reason? their parents? I should like to think that the claim that the issue of parents not being “full capacity parents” in which the evidence is that resulting in their young minded kids having kids of their own, is not an attack on personal ability or character, rather it is an attack FROM a spirit creating a separation of parents and their children. It is a spirit that causes parents to be less than what their full potential is, to be less than what they are intended to be, less than what they are purposed for. It causes a drift from parent and child, creating an empty space between them: a lack. This lack from a child separated from its parents, then produces actions in a way that only this specific lack can create. This is a spirit that is creating children without parents or those who are like minded. This is an Orphan Spirit. -The blame game is always a complicated one (however interesting it may get) to play. It still ends in one way; “what next?”

There are generations that call out to every generation that is now, is becoming, and ever will be. These generations of old are all pointing us to this one same thing. They are there to examine, to let us see and know of them through and through, to let us learn from them, for the purpose in which learning is necessary: change.

Change happens, no matter how hard or long one may try to fight it, it will happen. It can take two forms: bad or good. In this case of bad happening, events and times and situations may differ from the previous, but ultimately, is there a contrast between the mistakes of old which have the same results of the mistakes of new? -No, if what one generation birthed is the same lack that the next birthed, there is no contrast, no ultimate change. How then, can change happen and how do we know of it? We may know of change the same way we may know not of it; its results, it’s birthing, what it produces. If for a set of people one thing is bad and for a new people that same thing is bad, then there was no change from one generation to the next. Yet, if one thing is bad and for the next it becomes good, then indeed a true change has occurred. It seems that change, can actually only be change in nature, not by two forms, but by one. (Of course, how can one thing have two opposite characteristics in which it is defined?)

Change, (a differentiating contrast between one thing and the next) is true change only if there is indeed a difference, in this case, from bad to good. Perhaps, yes, change can be defined in other ways, ways in which such a drastic difference is not necessary. On the subject of such things that drastically effect people, lifetimes, and generations, I feel that only a drastic change, a “radical change”, or however you may wish to call it, a change that actually does occur and that actually stays, is the only change that is acceptable, that is actual, that is change.

It appears that because change is “bad becoming good” there will always be change. -In the aspect of eternity- I should clarify that maybe, if I may say, it is not to be thought of as bad, but rather less good than a better good.  We are humans moving on into the newness, the perfection of completion, of “glory to glory”. …Eternity (heaven) oft is an enjoyably wonder to ponder on, yes?

If what we learned from previous generations is that there is an army besieging new generations rather, “next generations” (for to be new, there should be a change from old to new, thus not creating cycles or “circles”). We learned that this army is coming with an attack of an Orphan Spirit, so still, the question remains: “What next?”

What are these generations of old calling out to us for and pointing us towards?

Our ancestors, heritage and family plead with us for a change. If the problem is an Orphan Spirit, then the solution, the answer for change, can also thusly be found in the definition of change, in “differentiating contrast”. The only plausible solution to an Orphan Spirit is what can make an orphan not an orphan: a spirit of Adoption.

Generations before me, mine, and those after are calling out with the will of the lord god almighty himself, “The hearts of the fathers will be turned to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers” all for this one thing: to be brought back into a perfect union with ones parents, for that which makes one cry out, “Abba Father”. So that once again there would be infallible joy, manifest presence of love, knowledge of hope: redemption to these things.

I am thankful that I have this infallible joy, manifest love, and peace of hope. I am thankful that when I surely do cry out Abba Father, I know that my parents are there to do everything they can to connect me to him. I am thankful for my parents. I am thankful that I know Abba God. I am thankful.

A spirit of adoption is here and it is ready to break forth like the light of a new day. It has been on the edge, in preparation, for far too long with the taunting of “maybe next time.” It is waiting as generations are waiting, as god is waiting, as orphans are being made. If we learned that there is an orphan spirit that needs to be counter attacked with a spirit of adoption, and the question posed is “What next?” I begin to wonder, have we really learned? If the Spirit of Adoption is ready, willing, and waiting, then verily, “What next?” Perhaps, these generations, god, and orphans say unto us, we wait for YOU. If we know the solution to a problem, there will be change… if we learned.
