It’s 6 am Wednesday. My sleep was filled with dreams.
I went to bed totally wrecked from a hard day’s work as was the day before that lifting heavy trailer gates and pulling heavy canvas curtains.
Having to lift the side gates back up onto the trailer for the 8th time sapped me.
Back at the depot I went out like a light.
In my dream I was being accompanied by a robot with the binocular looking head and eyes.
The Bot was positioned next to me as I stood. It was scanning to the right away from me and then started to scan back to the left pivoting it’s metal head.
As it scanned past me to the left and then back the right it sudddnly did a double take and quickly pivoted back to me as if it had found something! It’s weird metal bot face formed a kind of sarcasti smile. It was being funny. The bot had been trying to make a joke!
I was amused for it’s sake but inwardly was saddened for the sake of humanity. What was happening that for a confidante we have non human machines!?
There were more dreams and phrases during the night.
I heard this: You are an outlier.
According to Wikipedia an OUTLIER is:
“In statistics, an outlier is a data point that differs significantly from other observations. An outlier may be due to a variability in the measurement, an indication of novel data, or it may be the result of experimental error; the latter are sometimes excluded from the data set.”
The last definition interested me.
I am an outlier! Every week I meet other men my age and even younger who see me working and are amazed. They often simply say “How do you do it!?” My answer is: “By the grace of God!”
I dont go to the gym – Work is my gym.
But even the way I think is set apart from the crowd that make up the dataset. I have always been this way, all my life. That too is the work of God’s grace.
I have never been one to follow the crowd.
And I dont want be followed either. Therefore I have walked a lonely path yet I am not alone.
The bots scan us daily. Via our constant use of technology they know us. They read every single blog post and hear our most intimate worries and fears bis thd microphones all around us. They see our facial expressions as well connected with our words and emotions. They seek to imitate us and REPLACE us.
You are Jesus in the Earth. That is what being in Christ means. They seek to replace humans as God’s image in the Earth.
But as Jesus said Unless one is born from above he cannot enter into Kingdom reality. A person without Christ is not fully human.
Those without Jesus make up the large mass of data on the straight line graph. Also included in that graph are Christians who are not spiritual. Those that live out from their flesh mind.
Then there are those who are not able to be identified and characterised according to the statistical parameters the bots use. These are the outliers.
These are the hidden forgotten ones.
I think that is wonderful.
John 8:19 (NKJV)
Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”
“The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tellwhere it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:8
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Col 3:3
You are an outlier friend.
You live only through Christ Jesus in your Spirit. You are not rightly understood by the natural minded and their minions The Bots.
They think they know you. They do not. You are as the wind to them.
You do not have to try to evade them. Just be who God made you. You! Just be you and believe that Jesus is your Life-the one living as you daily. He shares everything you do and think.
The world does not know you.
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
1 John 5:4 (NKJV)
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world–our faith.
1 John 4:5 (NKJV)
They are of the world. Therefore they speak [as] of the world, and the world hears them.
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
1 John 5:4 (NKJV)
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world–our faith.
1 John 4:5 (NKJV)
They are of the world. Therefore they speak [as] of the world, and the world hears them.
1 John 3:1 (NKJV)
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
