2 " The Fathers intent desire is that none would 'perish'. The promise God has given us is one of 'liberation'- Freedom. Being set free " from" captivity and reconciled " to" your Father. Intimacy with Jesus garners son-ship with Abba. As Jesus " demonstrated" that Son-ship of Grace he said, 'I only " say" and " do" what I hear the Father saying and doing'. Proclaiming the Kingdom of God by " Do'in the Stuff" . The early church 'got' Jesus. John Wimber 're-got' Jesus and began proclaiming the Kingdom and demonstrating it as any loving son would of his Father. Now, we are no longer refuges but 'Bona Fide' citizens in good standing with our King and our new country. Where Love, Mercy, Grace; Peace 'rains' on us eternally here and now. 'The Already But Not Yet' (Ruis)." ~R. Alan Woods [2013] "
3 " Ten thousand men possess ten thousand hopes. A few bear fruit in happiness; the others go awry. But he who garners day by day the good life, he is happiest. "
