Poka-yoke (ポカヨケ) [poka yo-ke] is a Japanese term that means “fail-safing” or “mistake-proofing”.

A poka–yoke is any mechanism in a lean manufacturing process that helps an equipment operator avoid (yokeru) mistakes (poka).

Ask yourself this question….

if you are a God of love…..

and wanted to create humanity but knew that they would eventually fall…what would you do to help them survive their own mess?

You would Poka-yoke …fail-safe them … mistake-proof them…HOW?!!!.

YOU WOULD MAKE THEM IN YOUR OWN IMAGE…why?

So that even when they (yokeru – the operator – the creature – the human)  mess up (purposefully damage themselves) and their natural inclinations would turn to evil a part of them would still yearn to be more than just failures or sinners. Apart of them would yearn to be like You. Or…parts of them (poka) would still fit together….

Reminding them of their original design. And Your original plan

– you are genetically pre-disposed to forgiveness. You are inherently designed to yearn for something more than you…gotta be more to life.

• oh yes, and be afraid…be very afraid of God…be wonderfully afraid of a being capable of cratfing, designing, building, master-piecing us to resemble so that He FORCES HIS OWN SELF to want to help us even when lawfully He should. Imagine a love so strong, that you as the source of that love, are forced by your own love, to be to TOTALLY loving. Imagine a being who cannot give up on you, only you can give up on Him. Imagine an entity, a Person…so consumed by His own love for you that He will do ANYTHING to prove how much He loves you.

To day we call that obsession or stalking.

I call it Poka Yoke

“these humans…they are annoying Me…i should destroy them….but when I look at them…I see My Son!!!! I see Me (intimacy)..and when I do…when they force me to…they will end, they will cease forever, and I’ll be the one left forever with ashes of Myself”

You don’t believe me? I’m gonna give you the verse. One verse but in different translations so that no one reading this email can say that judgment do is gonna be easy or fun or vindicating or cathardic for God. He’s not looking forward to it the humans look forward to revenge on their enemies. God doesn’t bear grudges, where we do and we feel good when people who hurt us in the past are suffering. No..God…I cant even explain it. If we’re His kids (Genesis 1 and Luke 7:38Luke 7:38

Practical application of Poka Yoke (remember that…God mistake-proofed you, believe that and you’ll really start on the path of sanctification and character change and spiritual growth. The real gospel, not the fake one, the real Gospel teaches that every good gift comes from above. You don’t work or try hard to be a better person. The exchanged life of Christ, where He lives through you and out of you gives you the gift of being perfect, whole and complete. And we are gonna spend our life catching up to what God has already done and given us as a gift lol. That’s why sabbath is called….a day of rest. The gospel is about resting in God. Rest in Poka Yoke)

a. – have you ever lost someone you love, to death tragedy or disease?…it hurts right? Really badly. Maybe right now I’m even reminding you how much it hurts? That’s God way of reminding you that we were never built to die, never designed for loss, never created to cease , our hearts are handicapped or unable to be ok with mourning over someone. Ever wonder why children never understand when you tell them “they’re gone honey and never coming back”.. Remember the confusion on that kids face as their poor little brain tried to figure that thing out? Children begin to lose their childhood when they can understand death…protect them as long as you can, cause when we grow up, we forget that God’s ideal believer is like a child. See? This stuff is alien to us. God mistake proofed you against being ok with death.

b. – have you ever had your heart broken or been through a break up, divorce maybe? That’s God’s way of reminding you, love is for life and that youre heart was never meant to make-up and break-up. It was also never built for “window shopping” or being someone else’s “option”. You’re not an option. A person asking you out is either telling you “youre the one” or you’re downgrading your value to being someone’s “trial installation” or “promotional copy” or “demo”. We were custom designed to love hard, deep and for forever. Whether it works out in the long run or not is NOT what I’m speaking to. I’m speaking to how we normally start off. Which also affects how we end I bet. Think about it. Ever wonder why no break up is ever easy? Well God poka yoke’d your heart too about love. He mistake proofed you to love like Him. Agape. Self-sacrificingly. So…when you disobey that principle, you die a little inside. Sorry nothing you can do about it. Shame. Tough cookie.

c.  – when you grew up….did you look like your parents or talk like them sometimes or maybe even horrified to find yourself occasionally thinking like them sometimes. Do you have allergies they have or conditions. If your condition is chronic, we sincerely sympathize but look at it this way. When you grow up you become like them. At least in some ways. You inherit things from them. – when you grow up, you look like your Dad (Abba). Its inherited. Luke 7:38Luke 7:38

Ok enough. Not one of my longest but typical write? LOL

Love you all deeply. Be immensely blessed and like my partner in heavenly crime is currently fond of saying “May God be Himself to you and yours”.
