Month: October 2016

In the first posting we covered the colors of the sky, water and the grass. So now lets continue with the colors of the rainbow. The colors of a rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, Indigo, violet (purple) and white. Some of these have meanings that are pretty clear. Red for example is symbolic of Jesus’ blood. White is purity. Purple has a meaning of royalty. Yellow or Amber is for the Glory of God. But what about the others. Green for life, blue for Heaven and Holy Spirit. Indigo which is a darker blue could mean covering. Finally orange, which some say is for fire. Many say it means separation. A person could go and spend a lot of time researching this and still not have a definite answer. For our purpose we will keep this simple. In these colors along with the rainbow itself we have the holy trinity. Colors that represent Jesus the Son of God. God the Holy Spirit. And God the Father who created it. I personally may spend more time looking into this, but not write about it. For the sources out there with some answers talk a good talk but I need to verify their statements. I know this may not be overly exciting. As the meanings of red, white and purple are easy to understand. Its just that the other colors seem to have many meanings and I don’t want to say yes this is definitely it.

This next part is thought provoking. The prophecy mentioned that they won’t always be there. The colors that is. So, why not? One reason could be the simple answer of death. When we go on to the next part of our journey we will be else where. Not on this earth and in this body. Looking on the colors as we do. Or it could reference some of the happenings mentioned in the book of Revelation. Of course physical blindness is a thought. Which brings the question of why talk about it if there is no clear answer? But there is a clear answer. That answer is to pay attention to it now that we can. Turn our focus to Him who has given us life  A life more abundant. We need to pay more attention to God then we do. Our days are numbered and short. Time is short to spread His good news. Start talking about the one we truly love. Plant seeds, water seeds already planted. Harvest time has come for many and the workers are few. This is mentioned in Matthew ch.9 verse 37 by our Lord and Savior Jesus. It applied then and it applies now. Even more so as people fall away or just don’t like doing it because they aren’t comfortable doing it. What will people say or think of me then. The real question is what will Jesus say or think if you don’t? It challenging and not always easy or comfortable. But needed none the less.

Please spend time in prayer. Seeking Him who gave you a reason to live. If you don’t have that relationship with Jesus than ask someone who does to pray with you. guiding you to the door of salvation. Letting you know how easy it is to open. If you know someone in this spot then take the time to talk to them about a life with Jesus. We all need strength for this time coming. And the only one who can provide it is Jesus.

Be blessed, Ken

Its been almost two weeks since I gave this word to the body. It was about some of the colors God has created. As is the case I will not be able to quote it exactly for I don’t remember the exact wording. It started out with there is a reason for the blue color of the sky. There is a reason for the water to be blue and the grass green. Now take my rainbow. I know its a sign, but it also tells you what you need. For soon they will be gone. But, they will always be there. If you are in a dark place then you are not where I want you to be. If you see nothing but darkness then you don’t see what I want you to see. Look up and see. You will be set free. These words are close to what I said. Even though there may be a small portion I totally forgot. None the less this is the part I want to talk about.

Lets start with the blue sky. First of all blue represents the Holy Spirit. Did you ever notice that the farther away you get from Earth the darker the shade of blue. We’ve seen this with pictures from airplanes, spacecraft, and satellites to name some. What makes blue lighter in color? you simply add white to it. Now you have added a color representing purity, righteousness, and the holiness of God. This sky contains the very thing we need to breath and therefore live. Remember that God so loved the world … Yes He gave His Son. But that is not all apparently. And yet we don’t think about this. We take it for granted.

Next in line to talk about is the water. This one is more common to see and think about. One of our references is in the Gospel of John. In chapter 4 verses 4-15 we have the story of the Samaritan woman at the well. In it Jesus tells her of the “living water.” A story that hits home for all of us. As you will notice that water is also blue. And when you look at it from above the shallower the water the lighter it becomes. Similar to the sky. So, with this train of thought, we have blue and white again. This time its something we need to physically drink . A vital part of our existence depends on it. As human beings we need air and water to live. How can we have not seen the similarities before? Something we take for granted because its a natural part of life. God the Father, the Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit are as much a part of our lives. We do need them for life and a life more abundant. Lets take them into our lives just as easily as drinking water and breathing the air (sky). They really are a natural part of our existence.

Along with the water God spoke of the grass being green. Green represents life. Wow, what a change this is, right. Obviously we know that more than grass is green. Just about all plant life is green. Some plants are red for instance. Red is symbolically of the blood that was shed by Jesus. This also has brought us life. As the way God created plants, they take in the breath we exhale (impure) and give off oxygen (air) that we need. Once again giving us life. Notice that this is a cleansing process. Cleansing needed to have life. Like going to Jesus and asking for forgiveness of our sins to receive Him into our lives that we may have life in Him.

In order to keep this from not getting to long I’m going to stop here and make this part one. It won’t be long before part two comes out. But this is a lot to think about and take in. To meditate upon His word. To spend time with Him and get to know Him more and more. Please do take this time and get closer to Jesus. Its not something you will regret. Go for a walk and see the colors.

Be blessed, Ken
