Border Line

Borderline

It’s border line, cross the border, cross the line. You have crossed the line, crossed the border.

It is bordered by a line, the finish line, the try line, the perimeter, the border.

You have entered the enemies territory, you have stepped over the line.

One moment in your territory, the next in his. Trespassing or possessing, invading or occupying?

Don’t just stand on the line, make a decision, step over it. No going back. Once you have done it. War breaks out. There is no turning back.

This is not a “borderline” result, this is not a “marginal effort”, this is not a barely pass, not a “just enough”, not a “scraped through”. This is an “occupation”. Did you get that! This is a job, this is an occupation, this is your occupation, this is the place, the position, you occupy.

This is a break in the line, this is a place to cross over. Without a gate, a broken wall, a gap in the perimeter. No guards, unguarded, unprotected, unmanned. A break in the line. A place to cross over.

Like the Berlin Wall, there has been a break between sides, a breakthrough on both sides, a pulling down, without fear, with unity as the intent. The intent is to bring together, to remove the divide, no more division, the cross is over, the cross allows you to go over. The intent to destroy, is now destroyed. I have destroyed destruction. The destruction brings restoration. The act, brings unity. The thrusting forward, fills the gap and brings unity.

From unity now multiplication, from pursuit and capture comes unity and multiplication. New birth, multiplied birth, birth of a new nation. Raise the flag, a new flag, a new name. Stake your claim, raise your name, lift it high, like a beacon, like a lighthouse radiant across the land.

The flag inserted in the ground, is a sign of occupation. Insert the pole, hoist the flag, watch it ruffle in the breeze.

What are you occupying, what thoughts occupy your mind? Where are you staying? What occupies you, becomes your occupation. Where do you reside? What keeps you? What is your shelter? What keeps you safe. Where do you stay? Stay with me! Do not wander, do not allow your mind to wander. Do not be wayward in your thinking, stay on my way, stay on the high way. No shortcuts here, don’t take the back alley, stay in the light. For my path is illuminated, well lit.

My light shines in the darkness.

Acts 12:7-10 And suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared [standing beside him], and a light shone in the place where he was. And the angel gently smote Peter on the side and awakened him, saying, Get up quickly! And the chains fell off his hands. And the angel said to him, Tighten your belt and bind on your sandals. And he did so. And he said to him, Wrap your outer garment around you and follow me. And [Peter] went out [along] following him, and he was not conscious that what was apparently being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. When they had passed through the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city. Of its own accord [the gate] swung open, and they went out and passed on through one street; and at once the angel left him.

And they went out, and passed on through.

I am with you. We go out together. We will pass on through. We will cross over. Occupy, take possession.
