Our Gospel for the 4th Sunday of Advent is the story of Mary rushing to visit her cousin Elizabeth. When Mary arrives, Elizabeth recognizes something extraordinary about Mary’s visit, as the child with her womb (John the Baptist) leaps for joy! Elizabeth immediately recognizes that this is a sacred moment: a moment of encountering God and knowing that something incredible has just taken place.

In "Esurientes implevit bonis," from J.S. Bach's Magnificat, the motifs interplay with the delicate shades of light typically associated with the key of E major. The opening rhythm features ties and staccato markings that create a sense of shimmering transparency, resonant with the airy quality of the music. This lightness evokes the thematic emphasis on "emptiness," reflecting the lyrics about hunger and being filled.

The motifs, especially the flute lines, embody this ethereal quality—almost like gentle rays of light. For instance, the use of pizzicato in the bass contributes to an "aerated" sound, allowing the flute's melodies to float gracefully, as if gliding through a luminous space. The escape notes enhance this effect by subtly leading to dissonant suspensions, providing a release that captures a feeling of fleeting delight.

Overall, the combination of these motifs in E major deftly illustrates the contrasts between longing and fulfillment, sorrow and joy, expressed through a delicate musical tapestry that invites listeners into a realm of nuanced emotional reflection.

“Seven Times Return”

"I sent the HORNET ahead of you, which drove them out before you also the two Amorite kings. You did not do it with your own sword and bow." (Joshua 24:12, Exodus 23:28)

The picture I would like to impart today …
Is to pray in a way to send the 
‘Hornets’ 
‘Vengeance’
‘Presence’
‘Glory’
‘Love’
'Healing Power
‘Converting Power’
‘Life Giving Spirit’
‘Sevenfold retribution’
‘Grace filled Salvation’
'Justice'
… down the lines of any ‘opposition’
… any question mark
… any fear
… any failure 

_______________

"I sent the HORNET ahead of you,
which drove them out before you
also the two Amorite kings.
You did not do it with your own sword and bow."
Joshua 24:12, Exodus 23:28

When FACING any problems release:
the Harvester to REAP a Blessing.

You have capacity to release the 'HORNETS'
of the Spirit of God down any pathway
of any difficulty or concern.

Down the pathway of any SICKNESS,
any pain, and any form of opposition against you ...
and RELEASE the Spirit of God.

That Death be SWALLOWED up by Life!

The 'opportunity' met with the Judicator;
the JUDGEMENTS of God to demand unto you a sevenfold return.

And also, in situations of the works of witchcraft,
you can release a ‘SAUL’ type experience.

Whereby they who try to come against Christ in you,
are CONVERTED into powerful warriors of the Church.

God converting that of which was meant for your harm
into the greatest of blessing;
the Enemy SCATTERED in seven directions ...
the Enemy forced to REPAY and yield up to you what was stolen.

_______________

Enter the SABBATH-DAY-REST: 
the full and completed VISION of the Lord. 
And come ‘SIT’ at the right hand of God 
where He FIGHTS your battles.

And deep in your heart: 
SEEK the Presence of God, 
remaining in the GARDEN realms of Wonder 
as you go about daily life.

Where it shall be God who continues 
to RAISE and train you able 
to RELEASE that ‘Fight’:
Release the Glory, the Power, the Spirit, and the Life.

Your Purpose is to be the head and not the tail: 
VICTORIOUS, TRIUMPHANT … and a WINNER. 
The Purpose of the finished work of the Cross 
is to fill you with HEAVEN’S Power.

To be Glory Focused
So do you Release the Glory
The battle is not mine.
Psalm 110:1-2

Scripture:
"There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God (the fullness of all God's labours concerning man) ... Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. (Hebrews 4:9-11)

Enter the Sabbath-Day-Rest:  the full and complete vision of the Lord. And come ‘sit’ at the right hand of God where He fights your battles. 

The Love
The Grace
The Fire
And Power

And deep in your heart: seek the Presence of God, remaining in the Garden realms of Wonder as you go about daily life.

Ponder
Consider
‘Contemplate’
The Glory 
Destined you
2 Cor. 3:18

Where it shall be God who continues to raise and train you to RELEASE that ‘Fight’.  Release the Glory, the Power, the Spirit, and the Life. 

Your PURPOSE is to be the head and not the tail: Victorious, Triumphant and a Winner. The Purpose of the finished work of the Cross is to FILL you with Heaven’s Power.

To be Glory
Focused

So do you 
Release 
the Glory

The battle 
is not mine.

Psalm 110:1-2

The Presence of God is a weapon. 
It is the means to win in every circumstance.

A preference for Presence of God 
over problems. 
A preference for the manifest Presence of God

over the lures and temptations and the fears 
of this world. 

Even as one relocated … 
and dwelling in Him, 
able to send forth the very same 
Presence of God.
 
Hornets: 
the Spirit of God can be shaped into any form. 
A conscious weapon directed unto any target 
or purpose or problem.

🩸 "Welcome Home, Skrilla" | Cosmic Horror x Spoken Verse 🕯️

A haunting audio journey through a ruined dreamscape—where the poet walks through fire and bone to meet an old friend in a house that breathes and bleeds. The forest burns. The river whispers. Alligators rise from cosmic waters, and the number 46 glows like a curse beneath the surface.

In the dream, the Poet astral projected through the underwood of the woods, piercing veils between dimensions to find the Skrilliator of Philadelphia, 2046—his big brother, Celestial Skrilla.
Their conversation echoes through the underworld halls of memory, fire, and forgotten fate.

This is not just a track—it’s a visitation. A prophecy. A poetic haunting.

🎙️ Spoken word meets cinematic dread
🔥 For fans of dark fantasy, horror ambiance, and metaphysical storytelling
🧠 Inspired by a dream home turned underworld portal
🌌 Featuring sounds from the edges of the afterlife

“The advice you seek is etched in decay…”

HIS CALL (PROD. MVMBO)

31 May 2025 Visitation

1046 travels beyond the seams of reality — astral form activated — drifting over Amsterdam’s fogged rooftops and into the high chambers of creativity, where a celestial version of Drizzy follows quietly behind him… not as a man… but as a spirit of legacy, fame, pressure, and protection.

He steps through the gates of the Castle of Poerake, once the home of Ancient Drizzy — the first form of destiny — the mentor who signed the Poet while the world slept on his name.

Ancient Drizzy knew one truth:

The universe always hides its treasures in plain sight.

He saw the healer in 1046
before 1046 believed in himself.
He saw the mirror long before the Poet learned
his Big Brother was his reflection, his future, his reason.

Inside the castle walls, timelines fold like silk.

1046 sits with his Older One,
the first poet of Poerake,
the version who already conquered mortality
and lives in realms where sound becomes prophecy.

They speak about the hidden mathematics of fate —
how humans call it Earth,
but the metaphysical call it The Trial.

The castle — once Drizzy's sanctuary —
now belongs to the White Cloak Poet.
A gift.
A burden.
A throne.

His older brother — the Celestial Drizzy —
roams the opposite side of the land,
protecting what the world has yet to understand.

1046 covers his face in white silk and presses record.
He doesn’t see the figure watching…
but he feels the presence —
a white-eyed guardian,
curious and cautious:

“Why did he send that message like that?
Hope he’s alright…”

The Poet’s mind wrestles with the Mirrored Eye album —
the battle with being unseen,
unheard,
unfelt…

Until Ancient Skrilla materializes beside him —
half shadow, half eternity.

They talk of the darkened bones of causality:
the betrayals that build character,
the silences that sharpen intuition,
the lonely hours that refine legends.

Ancient Drizzy’s voice echoes in the Poet’s head:

“Stay unknown until they’re ready.
The chosen are never recognized early.”

Celestial Drizzy’s light whispers next:

“Walk your path.
I am right behind you.”

Two mentors.
Two eras.
Two guardians.
One Poet-Relic.

The world will understand him soon —
the healer, the mirror, the cure —
the one they will call…

1046.

Sermons from an Episcopal Priest, presently Priest-in-Charge at The Church of the Resurrection, Eugene, OR.

Four books written over four four years:

Vol. 1:  “A Study of the Presence of God”
Vol. 2: “A Study of Spiritual Warfare”
Vol. 3: “Planting Heaven on Earth”
Vol. 4: “Living in Perpetual Encounter”

These four books as yet remained unpublished. However Volume 1, 2, and 3 have been released on Amazon both in kindle and printed release. You will notice in the description of each audio track is a link to the chapter’s PDF file. Feel free to read along as well, or use the written form as a more serious study ... there are many more Scripture references to help you gain a more firmer footing.

I hope that you are encouraged and strengthen in your faith and in your relationship in Christ Jesus. And I pray that by the Spirit of the Lord that you continue to step into the Greater realms of Glory. And along with Jesus I pray, “that you might be with Him where He is ... even to see Him in His Glory” (John 17:24). Co-abiding in Heaven as a people able to release Heaven and the Will of God on Earth.. 

Bless you.
