THOUGHTS FROM THE 21 DAYS PT. 1

/ joseph elon lillie / Leave a comment

In January our church held its annual congregational fast. For 21 days we prayed together, fasted together and meditated on 1 John together. Here are my thoughts from those times of devotion in 1 John.

DAY 1 -That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 1 JOHN 1:1

Your faith is built on the historical, physical reality of Jesus, not an illusion.

Jesus is not my subjective reality. He is not someone I made up in my mind like some imaginary friend. He is a historical figure. History attests to his life. History attests to His expanding influence and history attests to the millions of miraculous life transformations in His name. He is reality. His promise is sure. We can be sure what He said will come to pass.

INFINITY LOOP

I have been feeling like a return to creative writing projects is at hand in 2026. I’ve felt it before, but have not had the resolve or the organization to carry out said projects. I feel it is important just now to make a return to creative writing. I have to admit, I don;t really know why…I just know it is time.

Here is a project I have been working on since Sunday’s sermon, on the Importance of Corporate Prayer, preached b y Jonathan Bauver.

YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE SERMON HERE

INFINTIY LOOP

The Code is broken.

The program repeating to its origin point.

We are all lines of code injected into the glitching game

Born to sin, repent and repeat.

Even Heaven is stuck in its perpetual “Holy! Holy! Holy!”

Leaving us with “Woe is me! I am flying to pieces here!”

And “How long oh Lord?”.

The White Hat Hacker came and wrote a new line,

“0’s and 1’s”…”X’s and O’s”…

“It is finished!” He said,

But the infinity loop,

STILL…STILL…STILL

HOLY…HOLY…HOLY

SIN…REPENT…REPEAT.

Here we wait for the seventh seal to be torn.

Then the unreachable code will be breached and

The loop will terminate.

“It is finished!” will “Behold I make all things new!”

“HOLY! HOLY! HOLY!” will be swallowed in that unprecedented half hour silence of Heaven that marks what is next.

Finally, sin… repent…repeat will be dressed in robes of white and never hunger or thirst again.

At last, infinity will receive eternity.
