Change to Original

Until now, this blog has lived FOR obscurity and IN obscurity.  My posts have been cloaked in the safety of the unseen.  Concerned enough to say, "What if..." Cautiously written "just in case..."  But this is the season for change.  Not ordinary change, but for changing back to original intentions.

This blog: Destination Reflection; today is changing back to its original intention.

This life: Deidre Kay Campbell-Jones, today, is changing back to her original intention.

We as a people, are changing back to God's original intention.

And from now on, this blog will reflect those changes - whether anyone reads them or not.

Original Blog Intent:  To share the deepest of my thoughts, un-inhibited in spirit, and in truth.  To chronicle the progress of my my life and God's purpose for it.  To share with others in written form that which I have no other opportunity or platform to share through any other medium.

Original Life Intent:  To walk in the fullness of God's power.  To teach, example, preach, write and lead others into the fullness of God's Glory, Power and Grace.  To live and to show others how to live in the manifested realm of God's Word.  To walk in God's promises and to show others how to do the same.  To have a true, manifested, tangible, full and moment-by-moment relationship with God Almighty, through His Son, Jesus and the Holy Ghost.

Which brings me to God's original intent for us as a people:  All of the above.  As well as:

Restoration
Reconciliation
Redemption

These are now words of "Christianise" that have grown to be meaningless.  It must be the work of the devil because these 3 words are truly the most powerful words regarding our standing in life as Believers who have confessed with our mouths that Jesus, the Anointed One is God in the flesh, born of a virgin, died on the cross and resurrected on the third day.

What are we restored back to?
What are we reconciled back to?
What are we redeemed back to?

We are restored back to original dominion... for God.
We are reconciled back to original relationship... with God.
We are redeemed back to original power... in God.

Adam and Eve were created in the image of God and that image was not revoked.  Adam and Eve were given dominion and that dominion was not revoked.  Adam and Eve were given power and that power was not revoked.

Our original image was distorted (not revoked) by the lies of satan.
Our original dominion was given (not revoked) to satan by our own disobedience.
Our original power was diminished (not revoked) by our own lack of knowledge and understanding.

Our created image in God still IS.  We can take back our dominion and we can walk in the fullness of our true power once again.  By God, because of Jesus, through the Holy Ghost. 

God, came to Earth, clothed in flesh as Jesus.  Fully God.  Fully Human. 

How? Because Mary's DNA and God's DNA formed one Man - free from the seed of sin passed through the seed of the male; pure from sin by the seed of the Holy Ghost. 

Why? Because God said, "the life is in the Blood." And only a blood capable of Eternal Life could be the antidote to the sickness of eternal death.  Only God's blood could save us from man's death.  But God is a Spirit.  And so He relinquished the Glory of His Spirit and clothed Himself in the glory of man, so that He would have the only blood pure enough to redeem us back to life.

What!? Because everything Jesus did on Earth He did as MAN, not as GOD.  If He had done it as God he would have called down leagues of 10,000 angels to wipe out the devil himself.  But He didn't in order to show us the power WE have over the devil.  He healed all who had need to show us the power WE have over sickness.  He raised people from the dead to show us the power WE have over death.  He was brought low and made poor to show us the power, dominion and riches WE have as men and women of God.  Jesus walked on water, calmed the storms, fed thousands and turned water to wine so that WE would see what WE are capable of - not so we would know what God was capable of. 

God showed what He was capable of to the Israelites and they didn't listen.

God is showing us what WE are capable of through Jesus Christ.  ARE YOU LISTENING?

Destiny's Journey


Some journeys are well traveled roads. Common, familiar and easy. We cruise along the path oblivious to the process as we habitually turn each corner, climb each hill and break each slope. Only to arrive, blink and wonder how we managed without incident or memory of the trip.

This journey - my journey - is not like that. This journey is one of reluctance, hesitance, unsurity, insecurity and yes, a moderate amount of fear.

As I open the window for you to view my progress, you will undoubtedly come to your own conclusion based upon the progress of your own journey - and your observations will be varied.

Some might say that I am making slow but steady progress toward a clear destination. Others may say that I am floundering and wandering aimlessly down a muddy road with too many directions to choose from.

I say my journey has just begun, although it started more than 10 years ago. I say I still have such a long, long way to go, although I am teetering on the precipice of completion. I say the journey has made me weary, leery and weak, although I trudge on with a strength and endurance that is beyond me. I say the path is muddy, with many obstacles, directions and difficulties still yet to come. However, my destination is clear - crazy, unimaginable, overwhelming and clear.

When this path first appeared it was like a hazy, dirt road on a foggy day. I peered at it without knowing what it was or where it was going - then tried to ignore it as inconsequential. When the path persisted I joked as to where it might lead, then still tried to dismiss it as a path not meant for me.

It was years before the view of the path cleared and I was able to see the destination more clearly. It was absurd to think that the reality of where this path could end up would be in a place far more outlandish than even my most absurd imaginings! OK, maybe - just maybe this path ended up in a very good place - but a place still not meant for me. Definitely not me.

Why not me? Who else but me, since I was the only one to see? Please, Dear God, not me! Yes, me. This path was meant for me.

And so I watched it, argued with it, denied it and tried to imagine a life without pursuing it.

Four - no five, has it already been five? Five years ago I accepted it. I stuck out a big toe like testing the cold water of a pool - then yanked my foot back like I so often would. I wrote about it, dreamed about it, and tried it on for size in the privacy of my dressing room of life. And by the way, I still watched it, argued with it, denied it and tried to imagine a life without pursuing it.

Three - sorry, I forgot - Four years ago I made up my mind. I packed my bags, said good bye to the sanity and sanctuary of friends and family who always had thought they understood me, and I took my first hesitant and frightened step.

In these last four years I have walked, sometimes trotted, but never quite run toward a goal I think is crazy. I have stopped, I have even sat down and I have wistfully looked back to a time when I did not know and could not see what was meant for me.

But I will not stop. I packed my bags (all my baggage), and made up my mind. Armed with nothing but 2 scriptures and a great deal of hope, I continue to trudge on driven by the surity that if - just if - I happen to arrive at this awesome, fearsome destination, it will be extraordinary, phenomenal and inconceivably wonderful. This destination...

A destination, a journey to a place that is called destiny. My destiny. Destiny's purpose in life. My God given purpose.

Sometimes while we travel, we see another driver, glance in that direction and never take note or give them another thought. Perhaps that is how you will see me.

Sometimes we see another traveler and something catches our eye. We may watch a moment, muse a moment or even briefly wonder... Then they continue on their own separate way and thoughts of them fade as quickly as they do. Perhaps that will be how you see me.

Other times we get caught in traffic, bunched up with drivers because of fate. And whether we cruise along peacefully or struggle with road rage, we share a community of progress, each with our own destination. Perhaps that will be how you experience me.

And on rare occasion on our own individual roads of life, we travel a path where we encounter another driver - seemingly traveling to the same basic place. At times they follow us and then we follow them. We may take note of who they are and what they drive - possibly even read a licence plate. We'll share a moment or even a long while - silently and separately together, with maybe a glance, a smile or a brief a wave of acknowledgement. Perhaps that will be how you experience me.

I cannot say how long this path will be for me, so whether you glance and move on - never to take notice; or whether you wonder a moment at who I am and where I'm going; or whether you follow a while, smile and wave or better yet, if you decide to stay for the journey, I invite you to come along for the ride.
