When Sanctuary realizes its dream

January 8, 2007

Joel Akin

 Life is filled with mystery. I am waiting for it to finish so I can find out whodunnit. The fact is that everywhere we turn on earth there are mysteries to be found. Some are in plain sight and some are buried under X Site. Yet of all the mysteries I’ve been involved in the most wonderful has to be what I’m doing right now. Helping you who read this find out who I am.

 Now you think I’m an ordinary man. And you think I’m an ordinary person. Yet I have a friend named God and that may or may not surprise you. What you don’t know and I do is that God is real. Now if you are a Christian forgive me if I spring an attitude check. But if you have a bottle then open it and celebrate. Why? Because I am going to tell you a story and you can decide if I’m crazy.

 A while ago, not long by anyone’s standards, I was born. Now that is part of the story and a mystery only to my family. I came into the world and I grew up and I found myself speaking to an audience who turned in regularly to read my column. Its not that I had forgotten it its just that no one wrote. I waited for a letter and got one from Mark but few others wrote. And so I went on my way wondering if I had heard God speak. After all if you believe that Sanctuary is of Him, and I do, then why is it no one wrote? The fact is there were those who read my words and wondered if I were an arrogant man. After all I talked as if I were the most brilliant of people. I had a friend named God and no one on earth had the same friend I had. And yet He was friends with everyone who wanted to be friends. And they wanted to be friends probably because He was God. He wanted people to know that as God He could do anything. He could build a waterfall in seconds. He could make a universe in a split second. After all in the beginning He made heaven and earth. Boom. There it was. Faster then anyone could conceive. It became the biggest universe of all time. And it was dreamed up by Him in a moment. Not years but in a moment.

 Now if that is fast then think about this. He wanted to know if people read my column. So He made a link and put it up for display and said to anyone who wanted “Here is my friend Joel’s site. What do you think?” And so people read it and they said it was neat but it needed something. And so God said “What?” And there were people who came up with ideas but God said “He has that already on his site.”

 And so it went, day by day by day by day God showed it to everyone. And finally one day someone said “If he has already done all that then why can’t he get anyone to help him?” And God said “Because they have lost their ability to see.”

 And so it was that the people who read it, and they were real, said “Then why won’t someone help him?”

 And God told them “Because they think he is  poor.”

 And if I were poor and if I were rich now that would be a conundrum. A drum of conun. Now that sounds funny because its like Arnold S from California went out again and beat on the drum and said “I’ll build a dream and it will only cost 400 million a year” and people signed up and didn’t say a word.

 Yet if I were in the know, and in a way I am, that my project is going to be bigger then his, you would laugh and say “So what. Where is your proof?”

 My answer would be “Wait.” And then you would laugh because I sound like all the dreamers you have ever heard. Possibly. Because I speak with a voice that is given authority. And with that voice I would just ask with gentleness. “Who wants to be part of a dream?” And maybe you might answer, “I do. But I have no money.” And if that is you then I sympathize because I have no money either. I am still a dreamer.

 But I have a gift and that gift is what is coming. It is a gift that God is going to bring with Him. And that gift is that I know who He is. I really do. I have been with Him spiritually fighting against an enemy many of you know. Sin. He is the worst ax that was ever dulled on God. The fact is he is nothing but a pain and a dull sort.

 Yet if I could get through to you I would say “What is it that dreamers have that no one else does?” And you would answer “A dream.”

And I would say “No, not a dream, but a friend to help me make that dream come true.” And His name is God. And He has promised to build up this dream and to make it His. And I have given Him the dream of my heart because I can’t build it. I have been disabled for years and I suffer. I don’t go into details but people who have dreams don’t usually admit to their fault. I do because you can’t make it come true. You would be a pain to have around. Well, I say that with care and love because anyone who stays near me too long knows that I just tell them “I’ve had enough.” I’ve done it with God and I would probably say it to you.

 But what I go through isn’t my concern either. God is God and is able to bring me through. And if there were a message He would have, that hasn’t been said then it is this: “I build a link for my friend and I put it up in Eden. I made a link to his web site and I made it available to anyone to see. They came by one and by two and by three and by four and by five and by six. And then they came by the hundred and by the thousand. And then they came by the million. And then they came in numbers that were greater then all the stars in all the sky. They came without number and they sent me email. And they wrote to me in care and said “How can we help.”

 Now don’t blame Joel for this. I am helping him write this and he writes with care. He just wants you to know that I am real and I am coming. And I am asking if there are people of earth who would like to help. For I am coming back and I am going to bless and I am going to bless those of you who stop by here. I am going to bless anyone who reads this. I am going to bless all of you. Just drop him a note and tell him you appreciate this and wish he would write something more.”

 Now that is part of the story of life and part of the story of what is to come. It is a dream. And it is meant to sound like a dream. Yet if God were building a web site in Heaven and in Eden what if you could be part of it? What if you could be part of that dream? What would it be worth? A million? A billion? More? How about the worth of all the world? The fact is it is a dream and it is part of the things I have asked God for. No one, to my knowledge, has asked God as often and as seriously as I do to have a connection to the Heavenly net. As it turns out God is thinking not just of making a connection but of building a site of His own.

 And if that sounds strange think of this. Since God inspired me to start a web site in the fall of 1997 I have built this site bit by by with His help and His ideas. Its just me. I don’t have anyone helping beyond the company that hosts it. I pay them to do so and that is the gist of their help. Yet with their help I’ve reached an average of about 25,000 a month. Maybe its not huge but it encourages me to know that people read my stuff and stop by to see what I have to say.

 Yet I am here and I wait and I know that if God has spent ten years working with me then He must have an interest in what is happening with the  net. And that interest is what is meant to be for the future.

 Just remember I am a dreamer. I don’t lie about what I said. I just report it. For soon there just might be a new link and maybe a new email address you can write to. Something like Eden. And then you can wonder if I found a way to return back to the garden where man first was created.

Until then keep dreaming with me and pray because God might have a work for you to do.

All the best.
