Blessed Brother Sirvante, On: Pillow Talk!

Have you ever had one of those days when you just wake up and wonder what it's all for?  I've been having allot of those days lately.   I mean on the surface things seem relatively alright.  But as I look around and try to understand the world a bit.  And the logic for why people do what they do.  I come to realize that even in the simplest of lives there can sometimes be a great deal of confusion.  I often used to pride myself on being able to figure things out relatively quickly.  Now I often sit around and kinda wonder what it is I'm trying to figure out.  I mean at 51, I'm past saving the world thoughts.  And I no longer have any great illusions of fantastic wealth.   The things I ponder mostly today are the things that really don't seem that important in the bigger scheme of things, relative to an individuals every day living.  Yet the thoughts of what go's through my mind somehow seem very important just the same.  You know a person can go their whole lives and never really understand what it's for.  I've gone at least half mine and I'm still not sure.  I mean I'm sure of my convictions, and what it is I believe in.  Sometimes I'm just not sure of the point of it all.  We all make such a big deal of the things we think are important.  And cling desperately to the things we don't want to lose.  As if the world will come to an end if we don't. When in truth, most people probably don't even care!  So what are we fighting for anyway?  And why?  I like to think that at the end of the day, if I do the right thing I can lay my head down on my pillow at night and sleep in peace.  And that in truth is a real blessing;  the pillow that is.  Because when I go to sleep at night I realize that there are many people around the world who don't have one!  Yet somehow peace always seems to elude me.  And not for any real good cause; or maybe for a great cause.  I still have to sleep on it!  I guess it depends on your perspective.  And how you choose to view the world relative to your own existence.  Maybe that's why I take so much enjoyment in my pillow.  It helps cushion the blow of the reality of life. Which I've come to conclude is generally not fair. Yet we all have to live it.  I'm a man of God.  And I've become a man of prayer!  Believe it or not one is not synonymous with the other.  Hoping in prayer gives me even more peace than sleep!  I just as soon while away my day as such.  Evenings to for that matter.  Just thinking on good things for the good of all.  And leaning on God to do it! Because people often let you down.  And allot of times we let ourselves down too.   So the silver lining really is with God, for the love of Jesus!  And that's where I put my hope, trust, and faith!  It seems to me like the right place for it to be.  Life has taught me that when man fails you, God won't.   It's a sad reality, yet wonderful just the same.  Imagine that!
Bless you all in the name of Jesus!  Blessed Brother Sirvante.  

Blessed Brother Sirvante, On: Seeking Understanding!

To seek understanding, you must first understand what it is you're seeking.  We often times want to do what's best in life without really taking the time to understand who's lives' we're impacting with what we think is best.  I have allot of trouble with people who go around with a self righteous perspective!  Always condescending their views on others.  And never really taking the time to understand the shortcomings of their own existence.  Because they're too busy judging others!  From my perspective if life were perfect, then we could all be born and just go straight to heaven.  But I'm a man of faith, so that's just my view of the generalized world.   I believe we're all sent here to learn something! And what that is I guess we all have to figure out on our own.  It's like that old saying, ".....walk a mile in my shoes!"  Sometimes I have trouble walking a mile in my own shoes.  So I have great respect for people who manage to navigate themselves through troubling times in their own lives.  Because that's really what the shoe theory is all about.   And in fact I happen to be a man of many shoes;  as opposed to a man of many hats.  I like shoes!  They challenge my everyday existence.  I have to think about just what's right for the day before I put a pair on.  Lest I get caught halfway down the road and stub my toe on a rock, all because I didn't put on the right pair of shoes.  I like to have shoes for just about anything!  And I think I do.  Life has taught me that! Some people think I have too many shoes.  But at this point in my life I think I have just enough to know which ones not to wear on any given day.  And that's a great choice to have.  Some people don't have choices;  or the choices they have are slim to none!  And that's a very sad position to be in.  However we must all respect peoples choices in life.  Even if we don't necessarily agree.  People should always have a right to choose.  And we should always respect that right.  For our life isn't their life, and their life isn't ours.  And somewhere in there I think you might find the beauty of God! And learn the temperament's of self. For we are all created as individuals.  So who can truly say which walk is best in a protracted state.  I've heard the greatest things in life have in truth been built on mountains of failure.   So do we dare to fail in order to succeed?  And do we dare to trust beyond the understanding of self?  To care is not just a four letter word.  And understanding, despite what people might think must first start in your heart, not in your mind!  It gives clarity to the truth of ones disposition.  And enlightens you to the compassion of the disposition of others.  One never really knows what trails, and trials, and tribulations life will take us on.  So we should all have reverence in the form of enlightened compassion for the miss steps of others.  Because one never really knows whether they might one day end up in those same set of shoes.  Even if it's not their own pair, they still might have to wear them.  And that could be a painful thought, if your shoes are to big for your feet!
Bless you all in the name of Jesus!  Blessed Brother Sirvante

Blessed Brother Sirvante: A Short Bio!

I’m known as Blessed Brother Sirvante!  And I am a brother in the priesthood, in the order of Aaron.  Ordained of God!  What that means is my life primarily evolves’ around spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.  It also makes me a keeper of the flame of God, as in ancient times.  Further I maintain an incense altar, with a flame reflective of the glory of Father God!  It also has a covenant box that contains my personal covenant with Almighty God!  I am also a possessor of the holy spirit of God, through the living spirit of Jesus! 

I was actually born, Anthony Eugene Lee, and later became Anthony Eugene Hunter, while still very young.  However after living a pretty good life for the first quarter century of my existence, while off in college, I began what would eventually become a twenty year addiction to alcohol; drugs; pornography;  and almost every other kind of vice known to man!  My life had dissolved into several minor, and sometimes not so minor scrapes with the law.  I had reached a point in my life whereby I felt about the only thing left for me was the blessed day I could be put out to pasture.  And move on to my heavenly destination.  Because even though I didn’t live a godly existence, I clung hard to the cloth of Jesus!  You know people who live an active sin life like I did, need Jesus more than ever.  Anyway one day I had reached the end of the road for the umpteenth time.  Only this time I was done.  Because I was tired both physically, mentally, and spiritually!   Then I felt the spirit of Jesus talking to me.  So I sung that song, “Jesus Take The Wheel.”  And I meant it!  So He did.  One of the first things He did was hand me over to God!   Then God changed my name and put me on lock down!  That’s how I became Blessed Brother Sirvante.

The Blessing:  One morning while riding on a bus, I was doing a stint in rehab at the time in a town called Marysville, California.  The date was January 5^th, 2005.  I know the date because I wrote it down when it happened.  I saw something that later became known to me as the “Christ Starburst.”  It was a bright white hot light that flash burst in the lower eastern part of the morning sky.  As I looked, I knew something hit me.  I later came to realize it was the living spirit of God!  My body felt all tingly.  I also felt like I was in some kind of suspended state of existence.   So when I arrived at my destination, I ran into a bathroom and looked into a mirror to see if I could notice anything  different about me.  That’s when I realized that I had been baptized with the spirit of the holy ghost, through the living spirit of Christ Jesus, backed by the presence of God!  In the mirror I could see a visible almost misty type cloud dancing off my entire body.  And it was spiritually stimulating all my senses.  Right then I knew I had been blessed of God like no other man in history before.   Because of this blessing of the living spirit of Jesus Christ, as manifested through the holy ghost.  I now commune directly with Father God all the time.  Now as a possessor of the holy spirit of God, Father God, has authorized that I may also bless others in the spirit of Jesus, with a life changing blessing for the betterment of all fazes’ of a person’s existence, backed by the power of the holy spirit of God, through the living spirit of   Christ Jesus! 

In September of 2011, what I call “The Christ Star” began appearing in the eastern sky near my house in Sacramento, California.  To this day it occasionally appears in the night sky taking on the form of a massive bright light in the middle of the sky!  Sometimes it’s in the west; and sometimes it’s in the east.  With mine eyes focused on the glory of the truth of God.  Through the visual beauty of Christ, our Lord Jesus.  I am minded to refer to Psalm 89, for clarity of understanding.   Fore Gods’ standing truth is so revealed in verses 34 through 37.  And it reads:  My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of my lips.  Once I have sworn by my holiness;  I will not lie to David:  His seed shall endure forever, and His throne as the sun before Me;  It shall be established forever like the moon, even like the faithful witness in the sky.  Selah.

Bless you all in the name of Jesus!   Blessed Brother Sirvante

Blessed Brother Sirvante, On: Into the Depths of Truth!

Can rightness be determined by the predisposition of understanding?  And are concepts best left to the conceptualist?  Can we really seek a better day while still stuck in the tomorrow?  Are the depths of understanding best attained from an extenuated positioning?  Can we really hope to find our path in life if we never even see the trail?  What is truth anyway if sometimes you can't even look it in the face!  Are we subject to be prone to a life of disappointment at the mercy of everybody else's clarity of depth;  or depth of clarity as it were.  Can justification be summed up in the desire of will.   Or the will to be justified, summed up in the truth of our desires.  What is want? What is will?  What is desire? And what is truth?  I've often known pain to be the cure for it all.  For it simplifies the position of our truth of want of will.  Which is the base of our desires!  I don't know much about allot of things.  And sometimes too much about nothing!  I wake up each day with a new hope in my heart.  And I try to have a new challenge on my mind.  Yet always mindful of that old saying, how best laid plans can go astray!  I try to follow the golden rule:  Always treat people like you want to be treated!  However in truth, I often come up a little bit short on that deal.  Or so it would seem anyway.  But I guess that too is a question of perception.  Probably somewhere in the category of expectations lost.  Or if you're an optimist which I choose to like to think I am.  You can catalog it in hope renewed.  Because in truth, I find the best peace and happiness in that.  If you give without expectation, well then the bar for fulfillment is pretty low.  But the reward for attainment is extremely high!  And that's where I choose to couch my true hopes!  Love, or adversity;  I take love any day!  Want, or fulfillment;  I choose to be fulfilled, but always in my heart!  Need, or desire;  I take need, it gives me more peace!  If we walk in the truth of our own understandings never caring about the understandings of others.  Then in truth, we go through life never really understanding a thing.  And we miss out on the purist simplest of joys on what life is really supposed to be all about.  Caring for one another, and sharing in the love of our understandings towards each other.  In God we find truth! In Jesus, we find hope and understanding.  In peace we find love.  And in desire we learn acceptance.  We are all no better than our greatest thoughts of yesterday.  And we are all no stronger than our greatest hopes for tomorrow.   Color mine ruby red;  or even crimson blue;  because that is the level of my hope!

Blessed Brother Sirvante, On: Passions of the Heart!

When I was a young kid coming up, around 7 to 9, I had an unusual passion that some people might find unusual for a kid my age.  I used to love to scroll through development lots and look for small antique bottles.  I would sometimes spend half the day looking for these treasured finds.  There was no sweeter music to me then the sound of a bull dozer clearing a run down piece of property!  Day after day I would eagerly wake up in the morning so I could get to a lot that I had spotted was being cleared to see if the dozing had stopped.  So I could then begin to pursue the passion of my heart!  It was a joy that I never tired of.  I would collect the bottles, and take them home to be cleaned up!  I would then take them to the antique store to see if they had value.  I would bring the bottles in and me and the merchant would sometimes sit around for an hour or so sharing our passion!  Sometimes they would buy them and sometimes they wouldn't.  And sometimes after learning a little about the bottles I just didn't want to sell.  I came to appreciate the uniqueness of the entire process!  Which brings me to my point.  Passions of the heart!  As we go through life it is important to find things in our lives that matter.  And when we do we need to always be true to that truth.  Life is short!  One should always be careful not to get caught short in it.  Passions matter because peoples hearts matter!  One must always be careful to never forget that.  In pursuing your passions you must always be mindful that others are impacted by the passions you pursue.  So always be true to the purity of truth.  And your passions will always be true to you. Which is a measurement of the goodness of your heart.  In God we find the sereneness of the reality of truth.  And the truth of the purity of the very definition of passion it's self!  One can never come to understand the error of their ways, unless they first come to understand the passions of their hearts.  And then they will know the reality of their base of truth!  To be right with passion you must be right in your heart. Like the innocence of a child collecting bottles in a field.  And in doing so coming to understand the simple beauty of truth!  Which are the coals that stoke the passions of the heart.  Paint mine amber red!  For the passion in my heart burns the pureness of truth!  Solidified in the fire. And nurtured in the coals of the pain of my soul.  Only to lift me back to the passions of my heart. Which is the rightness of God!
Bless you all in the name of Jesus!  Blessed Brother Sirvante.

Blessed Brother Sirvante, On: Uniformity in Peace!

Probably one of the most difficult things in life is to come to terms with the shortcomings of our own existence.  It's so easy sometimes to just point the finger of accusation at others, while at the same time omitting the accusatory of self.  We all have an innate need to be right!  We've all been known at times to hold positions on issues of substance perhaps allot stronger than might otherwise be warranted, given the totality of any given situation.  Yet we persist on, self assured of our own indignation contained within our own directive point of view.  And then we wonder what the confusion is when it comes to igniting the enlightened understandings of others.  If you come from a non-objective perspective.  Then you can't possibly expect an objective response in retort to any given position that has been proffered forward.  From an unbalanced, misplaced, disconcerted state of positioning.   Peace is attained in harmony!  Harmony is attained in uniformity.  Which means that in order to project the righteousness of your positions forward, it is critical that you come from a space of mutually conducive positioning.  You can't turn apples into oranges;  and you can't turn oranges into pears!  But if you put them all in the same bowl they still look pretty good! Because they come from a point of mutual understanding.  Their all fruit!  And they were created to be eaten.  Which gives them harmony in unicen.  People can learn allot from a bowl of fruit. Sometimes it's best just not to say anything.  And let the rhythm of the truth of your own existence speak for it's self.  Because life has a funny way of often times correcting itself! Sometimes we need to just step back and give it a chance.  Because truth will always surface to the top!  One need not prognosticate to obtain any given position.  And one need not always to position themselves in order to project forward a manufactured understanding, that in truth has no bases in the reality of any given situation.  Peace comes from within!  It never needs to be projected out.  Because then it becomes fabrication, manipulation, and wholesale distortion of the right of truth.  Be who you are!  Be consistent!  And always walk in your own truth.  Then others will see the truth in you!

Blessed Brother Sirvante, On: Probabilities and Perception!

Probabilities are often times based on perceptions!  When man first sought to seek the moon he had to first envision the fullness of it's existence.  And then he had to encompass the magnitude of it's reality.  And even still he was no more closer than the existence of his own thoughts.  What he needed was a real plan to achieve his vision.  And a real focus to get there!  So many times in our lives we come from a point of hope without any real perception.  And so many times in our lives we come from a position of existence without any real understanding.  But the truth of a vision is, it seeks you from beyond.  And the truth of reality can often times not be what you perceive it is.  And sometimes truth has nothing to do with what you see.  And sometimes what you see has nothing to do with truth.  So what are the probabilities of understanding things that are beyond our grasp.  Well I guess that depends in large part on the strength of your vision.   And the probabilities that will allow you to get there.  But the question then becomes where is it that you're trying to get?  Because you just might find that you're already there!  Which leads us back to perception.  I'm a man of faith!  So that's the walk I know.  There are allot of things in life I don't really understand;  and even more I don't care to.  There are allot of people who surpass my comprehension simply because of the things they say and do.  There's so much life that has passed me by that I sometimes look at the world as a mirror.  And believe it or not, sometimes I'm scared to look.  But I continue to move forward just the same.  Because that's my level of faith!  It's often times not what I see that gives me comfort!  Rather what I hope for that sustains me.  In all great success there is also great failure.  But the true measure of good is not determined in neither.  And the true measure of a man, or person as it were, is not determined in another either.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again:  We will all leave this world the same way we came in;  and that's basically alone!  The true caveats in life are the rich relationships and the wealth of experiences we gain along the way!  Be they good, bad, or indifferent.  What we do, and how we do it impacts not only our lives, but the many lives we pass along the way on our journey back home as well.  If I were to have one wish, I'd wish people would be more mindful of that!  And in faith reality and truth may once again become one!
Blessed Brother Sirvante.  Bless you all in the name of Jesus!
