Copied from one of my pastor's blogs:
...
God’s people had a word for it: SHALOM.

“The webbing together of God, humans, and all creation in justice, fulfillment, and delight is what the Hebrew prophets call shalom. We call it peace, but it means far more than mere peace of mind or a cease-fire between enemies. In the Bible, shalom means universal flourishing, wholeness, and delight — a rich state of affairs in which natural needs are satisfied and natural gifts fruitfully employed, a state of affairs that inspires joyful wonder as its Creator and Savior opens doors and welcomes the creatures in whom he delights. Shalom, in other words, is the way things ought to be.” Neal Plantinga , Not the Way It’s Supposed to Be:

No one helps us see SHALOM more clearly than the prophets. The prophets with no power, no money, no position…changed the world. They gave the world a dream and a conscious. They dreamed God’s dream about the way things are supposed to be. They did not use legislation or technical expertise to change the world. They used pictures, symbols, metaphors, and images. Mostly, they gave their lives to make God’s dream a reality.

Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. Revelation 7:16 (NIV)

Think about it. How would that look — the elimination of hunger? No more pictures of little children with swollen bellies. No mothers trying to scrounge around for enough food so that her baby could survive another day.

He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Isaiah 2:4 (NIV)

No longer will technology be used for violence and bloodshed as the stories we see today One writer putting this in modern terms said, "Intercontinental ballistic missile silos will be converted into training tanks for inner-city kids to learn scuba diving in."

And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children. Luke 1:17 (NIV)

What would we give for that? Tell us that story. No more separations, no more divorce, no more affairs, no abuse, no neglect, and no unloved, unwanted child.

"Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind…Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; In that day people will build houses and dwell in them, they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. They will not toil in vain or bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD, they and their descendants with them. Isaiah 65:17, 20-23 (NIV)

Dozens of passages about the coming of Shalom. Shalom is coming. Shalom is coming. In Jesus, Shalom is coming

God has dream, His-story. History. This tangled web of threads will not always be this way. When Jesus rose from the grave, it was God’s demonstration that even the greatest enemy of Shalom, Death…CAN NOT STOP Jesus from healing us and healing this sin sick world. This is where Jesus is leading us…

Revelation 21:1-5 (NIV)
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

Another world is possible. Join Jesus and let’s go build it together.

What’s one small strategic intervention you can make today to build the Kingdom that will last?

David I agree with Tom . I also think that you are dealing with self condemnation. Continue to sit in the Fathers arms. He approves of you. Hey We are fighting with you.
DAVID A BARTON Comment by DAVID A BARTON on April 28, 2010 at 12:12am
Hello Tom And Chris
It was nice to hear what your both Wrote and yes Tom it is Diminishment that I am dealing with thank you for your wisdom and contunie to pray also
thank you christ for your wondeful word of wisdom and your pray's as well
Love you both and will pray for you both as well before I sign off will tell a true story that happened to me about 2 years ago it was right after I attended
the walking with God Book tour in the spring of 2008 I was going thru a rough
patch I had been out of work for about 4 months when I went to the book tour
I was hurting as well as healing from an Accident that had happened about
3 months before this i didn't have much money and God wanted me there so
My Battle Brothers help me for to the book tour it was the first time I ever met John E I met John and beside getting a gift of the Book walking with God
I also got help to go to my first boot camp that is were things really started changing I read the Book in 2 days about a week after I got back I was out
one night On my front porch just talking to Father God but still not tottally
understanding My own walk with God and still trying to overcome believe's
that I had grown up with for the better part of myu Christian Life which was of and on expect for the last 10 years when I started going back to Church on a
regular and weekly base's they was still Doubt as to know iof God didn't hear
my Pray's so I layed out a flese to see of God was listening the flese was when I woke up the next day if there was water drops on my Cars and that the ground under my cars was dry and I mean dry then I know that God did hear my pray's well when I woke up the next morning and I went outside to go and
do same errror's I needed to run want I found was just amaseing I found on all
3 of the car's in My driveway including my Daughters car there were rain drops on all the car's and the ground around ever car and even on the street
was as dry as a bone I was still unsure so I looked to the right and left of my House and across the street to my Nebors house's there car's were dry no drops of water anywere but On mY Car's since then I know that when I pray
that God listen's. That is why as the things that havew happened the past 7 months has been so hard to deal with for someone whao has seen sign's of God in so many ways and the things I have seen when I have prayed how could
I do the things I have done to have hurt the people I love the most or done the things I have done I am not trying to stay in the past I am just trying to figure out How I could have let Satan back in so fast that I do the same things that God has forgivien me so Many time's before. I know that God Is Real and I know Jesus Christ is also real How could I let it happen again if anyone would
care to share there throught I will listen with open Heart and Open Mind.
Thank you Your Follow Brother and Battle brother In christ David
Tom Comment by Tom on April 27, 2010 at 1:42pm
David, I just prayed and listened on your behalf. I asked Jesus, "What is he dealing with here...specifically?" I paused...diminishment is the word that came to me. I just prayed again...and again..."Is diminishment the spirit David is dealing with?" I had to pause...listen...I believe I heard His voice say with gentleness 'yes'. Then I heard a 'noooooooooooo'...as I meditate on this right now, I believe it was that foul spirit of diminishment. David, brother, I too battle with diminishment. I asked Jesus if there is anything else, and He said this is enough for now...take it one step at a time...and I hope I'm not crazy. :)
Chris Smith Comment by Chris Smith on April 27, 2010 at 9:46am
David maybe God wants to strenghen your sheild. Let him work on that. I just felt lead to tell you that. I have been asking God about that too. As you can tell by my picture I love my sword!!!!!! Take Care.
DAVID A BARTON Comment by DAVID A BARTON on April 26, 2010 at 11:42pm
hello Pam Tom & Dwight

I am rereading walking with God about 2 times and right now rereading
waking the dead I have dreamed most of my life and in the last few years
thru many things I have been thru and have done I can and do talk to God
In one dream about 4 years ago when I was walking with God very close we
were on a park beach and just talking about things I was doing and for a few nights after that we talked about many things I know it was Jesus Christ because he was wearing his classic White flowing Robe he had dark hair and was very soft speaken but the thing is i wasn't able to see his face but in My heart I felt it was Christ talking to me. About 3 years ago I was outside one knight after midnight I was praying just talking to Father God after I was done praying I looked up In the night Sky and I saw 3 cross's 3 decending dove's and then the last thing I saw before I went to bed that night was 3
big letter's written in the night SKy they were the letters JC Everytime I am walking with God so very Close He show's me thru things like this that he
is there so Why is it that when I see things like that and I know that God And Christ are there that I do something so stupid and then I turn around and hurt My Wife and Family it doesn't make any sense if anyone has a words of wisdom please share them I want to walk with God for the rest of my life and also be the Husband that God whats me to be to my Wife and My Family I am tired of taking 5 steps forward and then in a moments notice I take one very large step backwards and I let satan back in at the drop of a hat without fighting him off. Thank You all May God Bless You nall for your prays and I
am Glad God is there with us all. Your Brother in Christ David

I used to "not dream" at all . . . I'd think at night. Seriously. But after I went through the "tearing down the walls" phase, I've mentioned before, I began to dream. I wasn't so tightly clinched on the inside. I got a book called, Windows of the Soul, and started to pay attention to what was being revealed in my dreams . . . fascinating.
Tom Comment by Tom on April 26, 2010 at 10:07am
So I read last night about Dreams. I don't have dreams really when I sleep, but when I do they are indeed sooooooo wierd. Now daydreaming I do a lot.
