The World on the Brink of Collapse and Utter Annihilation

1. Folks “for God’s sake” truly think about the time you are in!

   “God desires the least degree of obedience and submissiveness more than all those services you think of rendering him.

   Reflect how necessary it is to be enemies of self and to walk to perfection by the path of holy rigor, and understand that every word spoken without the order of obedience is laid to your account by God.”

   Saint John of the Cross

   Matthew 24:21-23 “For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. 22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short. 23At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.”

2. (My comment to a fellow blogger mentioning M. Obama possibly running)
   I don’t want to read into anything the Left and Radical Cabal think or will do with themselves! I do know that for a transsexual diabolically corrupt person to run for president would be an abomination as well as a death knell for those involved and America itself, if it were to happen!

   With all of the horrendous transgressions already occurring in America and around the globe I think anything is possible; but only if God allows it! I think that God is going to obviously have to draw the line in the sand in the short term before matters get much worse! With already the blasphemy of reassigning children’s gender, trans-humanism and this twisted ideology that’s now being pushed extensively, which even says a man can have a baby, all of this has now entered into the territory of a “Sodom and Gomorrah World” out of control; with “the father of all lies having a firm grip on humanity” like never before in Modern History!

   The Plan-demic accentuated this point, when humans around the globe were being treated like nothing more than cords of wood for the fire, and so along with all of these other developments it’s clearly saying to me; that this world has passed the point that Hitler brought it all to, with the Third Reich, and we know that he was demonically possessed!

   Humanity is almost vanquished globally, the bare indifference and self-centered materialistic living for pleasure and possessions is now over the top and ugly!
   God have mercy on this terribly sick world!

   1. Quite telling is the fact that I mentioned Hitler when I wrote this comment yesterday and then today early in the day a notification came to me that another fine Word Press blogger had just read one of my essays titled “People Are Too Busy Wanting Likes to Have True Love” which also had a mention of Hitler; a blog essay that delved into the matter of totalitarian control, all rather timely and important to consider in this New Year!

      Here is an excerpt

      Conclusion:

      We can thank God that there is a secular reference to Herod’s massacre of the children under the age of two. History does not record every event found in the Bible. In truth, we do not need secular history to validate the Bible. We often forget that the Bible is accurate history. But many people do not want to accept the Bible as history because they would then need to submit to its authority. It is the Word of God.” (neverthirsty.org/bible-qa/qa-archives)

      All of which should give you a clue to what the world will be like under such totalitarian control when truly evil men rule over we people with total earthly power and control over we humans who are spurned by Satan who directly influences such antichrist blood thirsty men. And, if leaders or governments can do such things to babies who are innocent and pure what do you think the value of your life will be to them if they can’t use you for something, as say a slave or some guinea pig to experiment on; like the Hitler Nazis did during WWII? We are all being played with and screwed over, being prepped for a future of utter control and DEATH; the babies are the canaries in the mine shaft warning in this modern era; those innocent little martyrs that God tells us with His words in Holy Scriptures; how in the End Time many of the innocent will be Martyred!

3. Yes perfectly stated sister Joanne!  I just read your response and the mention of the rabbit makes me very sad and want to cry again, I see these animals as gentle innocent babies of the wildlife; they indeed cry or scream when attacked by a hawk which some folks have accounted to me, thus this one-eyed little friend did have a friend for a while, and then I guess we can deduct that the end was at least quick or so sudden that there should have been no distress; I also gave it a good burial and said farewell little one!  Of course it lives on in my memory and heart which is another example of pain, but then as you said clearly regarding God’s truth of how there is another beyond earthly pain or suffering, that continues on in eternity! 

   And so the moral to this story should be, why don’t people work diligently every waking hour to be on the right side of God; so they won’t possibly end up in a suffering that goes far beyond anything we ever experience here, but also, never ends!  Wow, now that makes me cry and say; God in the Holy name of Jesus I’m so sorry for my sins or mistakes and being a broken human being!

   But also, God’s love and mercy must be incomprehensible and boundless to have allowed all of this to go on so long as we see or perceive things, apparently making and allowing for all the options (opportunity to repent) He can provide in this process to give even the dirtiest of rags opportunity to come to Him on bent knee, and let’s say be like a Dismas at least!  Boy or boy if that isn’t a Father’s and Mother’s type of love, what could be; which reminds me of the Prodigal Son!

   Amen.

4. Always happy and blessed to comment to your writings that are so special as well as bountiful!

   Indeed the rivalry or even animosities that arise between the separated or even segregated schools of thought when it comes to Christianity are very perplexing, as well deeply wrong; simply I ask what or who could be behind such misgivings or trouble in the Body of Christ; and we know who that is without a doubt, which is the same from the beginning of God’s Church!  I have learned to calm down and realize that there is good and bad or like you said in your current writings, even the ugly, when it comes to people differing with each other; and in some cases so defiantly even their God our Creator! 

   As I say, I’ve tried to examine the evolution of the Church and see how these differences occurred, and though I can’t touch the spectrum of knowledge in this realm that you have over the years, but I can readily realize much of it, this disarray, was inevitable, say for example, when the Forefathers of America set out to make a better life away from the tyranny and oppression of their European leaders, they had to “start from ground zero” and worship as a microcosm of the Church in a “New Land” that had “nothing but wilderness!”  If I was one of them, I sure would be trying to find a good spot to gather with family and friends or neighbors, to sit and then kneel together, in order to pray to our God above in Jesus’ name! All the while a massive place of worship, within huge granite or wooden structures, faithful would be carrying on back in my previous land that I called home with music and choirs!  So I think our beloved God is quite understanding about much of this, but, the part that would be “a clincher” would be “anger or animosities that get built up into hate or rejection of our neighbors for practicing their faith to the same God Almighty,” though in a bit different manner that is comforting and inspiring to them; God after all knows His own and I’m sure sends the Comforter to any of them, regardless of which gathering it might be as long as they are genuinely worshiping and loving Him through Jesus Christ His Son then the Holy Spirit will come to them to teach all things!

   I really appreciate how fond C.S Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were of each other and yet their Churches having some obvious differences, that was never any issue and they indeed helped and inspired each other over the course of their friendship in brotherly love!

   Thereby I must say what a beautiful story here about your own growth starting with a Montessori School something new to me, but which grew into your wonderful faith during your childhood and then the subsequent direction the Holy Spirit directed you to in time, in order to accomplish the mission you are now on and being asked by God to fulfill for His purposes!  I just realized how this is more akin to how or what I spoke about when our Forefathers starting from a ground zero could build a new foundation from which to do God’s work and worship Him as they developed into a “New Nation under God,” free from tyranny or oppression of any kind!

   To these thoughts I must add how now in our current time, these are but a few of the imperative thought and soul provoking matters of urgency in today’s very tumultuous troubled world that we are faced with daily.  The “technical complexity of modern life” (artificiality) has really placed mankind in the “fast lane” hasn’t it, with so much happening and changing so quickly it’s mind boggling; but a cursory note that I have to admit here is, “that to me it’s quite frightening and not human!”

   When I was a kid I loved science fiction and couldn’t wait for the newest film to be released, but now, since that more innocent time I see how this world has changed in many ways not for the better, and science fiction is ugly to me now.

   I think more about “wouldn’t it be wonderful to go back to a time of simplicity and natural God created beauty like in the Garden” without the evil or liar lurking in the weeds, and to “just live, really just live!”  To just be, and “in a perfect symbiosis have total peace and tranquility” all around, with everything in that idyllic place (heaven on earth)! Where “God Himself communes with His abundantly beautiful, loving world, as in the time of the prophets, daily by the moment; all is well!”

   I dream, but as we know God’s word has explained in the Bible what and why this isn’t so, and how something even far beyond and better than my puny imagination can envision does await those who love Him!

   1 Corinthians 2:9-10 “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”

   Amen.

5. The one, authentic Carmel consists of a quiet, uninterrupted conversation with God. That is the true Carmel that our Carmelite forebears sought.

   We can neither find nor embrace God just as we cannot sit at his feet in order to gaze lovingly upon him, if we are immersed in noise and activity. We cannot hear the voice of God, who speaks without words, except in silence.

   Let us seek, not emotional satisfaction, but rather a passionate love of truth and light. Let us make that light shine within us, within our monastery, and within our religious family so that we may seek Christ in loving silence.

   Then let us grasp his hand and hold it firmly until that blessed moment when we can see, face to face and eye to eye, him whom we did our best to find here on earth. Amen. Servant of Père Jacques de Jésus

6. Again, you’re very welcome Veronica. Now what was that I said about already going beyond a Penny’s worth?

   We now find ourselves living in a digital world where all of our thoughts, interests and behaviors are being monitored for the purpose of controlling us and monetizing or making money off of us! And “all that glitters is not gold.” “The crooked ways of the world” got a whole lot more crooked exponentially, to what it used to be!

   Because as we know if we’re truly being honest about it, as to what the ancient wisdom has stated succinctly about this; that “money is the root of all evil,” and its “money that rules the world now” or those individuals who have control over most of the material wealth. The material world is a doomed one!

   Art work, especially abstract forms need to be reviewed over time to gain a “full and mindful perspective” as to any hidden meaning or “intent and purpose of expression by the artist.” But of course in the end it’s a subjective experience that each individual can take from it, that which each person can see or envision from “his or her own individual point of view,” as the basic idea behind this art work should be to get people to think and speak their own mind, express their thoughts as to what they really see and believe, whether in the world around them at large or a single individual expression of thought and feeling from the perspective of an artist’s representation of that thought. This is freedom of thought in its purest form, which the controllers want to stifle or even eliminate!~

   But I can explain no better to anyone on this earth than what this following Biblical Scripture says, which I see so perfectly as it’s being, “the bottom-line!” This we can understand readily by just looking at the state of the world in which we live, how absolutely true these words from God are!

   1 Timothy 6:9-11 “Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. 11But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.”

   And so, in the words of that great radio personality Paul Harvey who first said it best many years ago, and up until his passing; “Now you know…the rest of the story,”

   Blessings.

8. NavVet67: correct, Trump doesn’t play the game that most and now practically all of them play! Look how many big names in the Republican Party attacked Trump since J6 and then ever-so fiercely since his bid for the Republican ticket!   They behave completely like “bought and paid for establishment DC Insiders;” go figure they all actually look as bloated and rotting from the inside-out as Chris Christie after-all!  A bunch of blowhards!  I guess sometimes kooky/zany former comedian George Carlin was right, what he said about DC Politicians and their real bosses; “They’ll get it all from you, sooner or later, ’cause they own this fucking place. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club.  Because the owners of this country know the truth: it’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

   Cheyenne; not only are those actions totally deranged, they’re perverted and hideous as they are actually “Diabolical,” as he is “absolutely satanically influenced!”  He is as out of control as Hitler, Lenin, Marx, Stalin, and Pol Pot; all of which worshiped Satan, and as countless others did and are in this fallen world right now!

   

   “But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you, sooner or later, ’cause they own this fucking place. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people — white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on — good honest hard-working people continue — these are people of modest means — continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you at all — at all — at all. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on; the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes everyday. Because the owners of this country know the truth: it’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

9. Sister-in-Christ Jesus, Joanne!

   I don’t care if Mary Poppins started a Socialistic movement many years ago; the reality is what it actually is today and has been for several decades while there is insurmountable evidence to prove it was totally flawed from its inception! There is ample evidence in the historical record that demonstrates how brutal all of those past Nazi, Socialist, or Communist regimes were, and how each Communist or so called “Socialist People’s Governments” were not at all, but instead were absolutely brutal and they all murdered millions of their own citizens! From Lenin and Marx to Stalin, Chairman Mao in China to Pol Pot in Cambodia, as the evil of Communism has over time carved a large swath through Eastern Europe and Asia and as well here in the Western Hemisphere since the early 1900’s.  In China just because it’s called the “People’s Republic of China” doesn’t mean for a minute that the 2.3 Billion citizens there are living under “an umbrella of freedom” and “power to the people” run country; when in reality it is solely operated by “one of the most brutal and evil regimes in human history,” the CCP which even does organ harvesting by singling out the living victims for such an inhuman atrocity by pulling in anyone they choose even off the streets it’s been said or from selective organ harvesting data bases; and add to this horror the example of  “genocide” that is continually being reported, were millions of persons have been exterminated for a number of State Edicts!

   .

   “The declarations follow reports that, as well as interning Uyghurs in camps, China has been forcibly mass sterilising Uyghur women to suppress the population, separating children from their families, and attempting to break the cultural traditions of the group.

   The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has said China is committing “genocide and crimes against humanity.”

   (And I add Blinken is one of the worst and weakest US Secretary of State appointees in modern history so we can assume things are much worse than he states!”

   The UK parliament declared in April 2021 that China was committing a genocide in Xinjiang. bbc.com/news/world-asia-china

   China uses incarcerated prisoners of conscience as an organ donor pool to provide compatible transplants for patients. These prisoners or “donors” are executed and their organs harvested against their will, and used in a prolific and profitable transplant industry.

   As transplant nephrologists and medical professionals, we aim to spread awareness about organ trafficking, particularly forced organ harvesting, to colleagues, institutions, patients and the public. We are involved with organizations like Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting and International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China, which have done considerable work in this area for over a decade.

   China currently has the second-largest transplant program in the world. Transplant operations in China increased rapidly in the early 2000s without a corresponding rise in voluntary organ donors, which led to questions about the source of the organs.

   During this period of rapid transplant growth, practitioners of the Buddhist Qi gong discipline known as Falun Gong, were being detained, persecuted and killed in large numbers by the Chinese government. Similarly, China in 2017 began a campaign of mass detention, surveillance, sterilization and forced labour against the Uyghur ethnic group of Xinjiang.

   Sister Joanne I apologize for being so harsh and indeed negative with all of these factors I bring out here; but I do at times see the horrific reality of what this human race is currently doing to the innocent, or just each other across the board!  And so I can’t try to soften these horrible truths without feeling that I would be a part of the problem in this world for not speaking up or seeing the facts and truth for what it is, like some member of a herd mentality that just “goes along to get along!”

   My reason for pointing this gruesome practice and violation out is to demonstrate the old adage of “Power Corrupts” and “Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely!”  Our America Forefathers were well aware of this fact of life and of the evil that dwells on this planet since recorded history with no need to see the future that we now live in to make the right decisions they did; and now with technology that evil is flourishing like never before, imagine how “freaked out” and how “sad” they would be to us in this mess now!  I also state that we can easily demonstrate how Hitler with his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and madman Dr. Josef Megele, “Angel of Death,” he performed deadly experiments on prisoners at the Auschwitz II concentration camp, where he was a member of the team of doctors who selected victims to be murdered in the gas chambers, and was one of the doctors who administered the gas Wikipedia!”

   All of these most despicable examples of the evil in some persons with power, were all “dancing to the beat of a different drum,” which had “nothing to do with Christian Principles and Beliefs” or any hint of Godliness and doing the Almighty’s will on earth to bring peace and tranquility; on the contrary all they did was serve the infernal beast Satan.

   “The Nazis effectively used propaganda to win the support of millions of Germans in a democracy and, later in a dictatorship, to facilitate persecution, war, and ultimately genocide. The stereotypes and images found in Nazi propaganda were not new, but were already familiar to their intended audience.

     1 The Nazis were skilled propagandists who used sophisticated advertising techniques and the most current technology of the time to spread their messages.

     2 Once in power, Adolf Hitler created a Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda to shape German public opinion and behavior.

     3 Nazi propaganda played an integral role in advancing the persecution and ultimately the destruction of Europe’s Jews. It incited hatred and fostered a climate of indifference to their fate.

   “task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.” 

   “Following the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, Hitler established a Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda headed by Joseph Goebbels. The Ministry’s aim was to ensure that the Nazi message was successfully communicated through art, music, theater, films, books, radio, educational materials, and the press.”  encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/nazi-propaganda

   We can demonstrate the parallels of that time period and this most hideous political mindset with what we see going on now in America with so many radical, insane and absolutely evil agendas being codified and presented as good like the mutilation of school age children for the WOKE, Transgender Agenda of the Left, and also while the Church of Jesus Christ is being infiltrated deeply simultaneously.  None of the aforementioned or this very fact now mentioned here, are from any God view of Humanity based on “Divine Word of God” but are rather so far removed from that place of righteousness while only serving as, all work of the Devil; and that I say with certainty calling it out for what all of it is! If my irritability is palpable and easily detected by anyone reading my commentary I would say to such a person you are fine-tuned and perceptive which is good; thank you.  But the reason for my angst is the fact of how much has transpired in global and indeed America history over the last 100 years, but yet, we see the “off the wall movements or agendas” taking place feverishly with so many of our citizens, some of them even claiming to be Christians!  All of it going on under our noses basically with little to no resistance or complete rejection of such ideas or policies being propagated in our colleges and public elementary school systems damaging countless young children’s hearts and minds, making them part of the bigger problems down the road to come!  Do the masses really learn from history and do they want to prevent the horrors of the past from ever happening again; it sure doesn’t seem so to me with the way things are going!

   As far as looking back a hundred years, yes it was good that women got the right to vote and share in many of the decision making processes of our new and growing Nation under God!  Back then we were coming out of the predominately “Agricultural Age” and moving headlong into the “Industrial Revolution” which would “change the paradigm in more ways than one” and some of it for the better, but, also so much not!  This “New Age” did afford opportunities for so many to live what would be considered by most a “better standard of living” and “having so much convenience or free time” or what’s called “leisure time!”  But we know the old adage, “an idle mind is the devil’s playground” and that “too much of a good thing can become deadly!”  I think where we are now is like the old adage of “letting the cat out of the bag” and that coupled with a “frenzied or harried society” where, yes women compete for most anything a man can seek to accomplish or acquire, but, ask yourself at what cost does this luxury come to the fore! In the past men had to be tough and leaders ready to jump into action, to save and protect in all manner of physical hardships or disasters and of course to go “fight the inevitable wars” while the women bore children as always and stayed home to care for the entire family’s needs and comforts, while doing many other positive things at the same time, teaching the children etc.; it was no picnic for wives and mothers just as it wasn’t for the bread winner protector husbands and fathers.  Oh yes for better or worse we got “the whole enchilada” as they say with so many varying issues and problems since we as a civilization leaped out of that “old farming agricultural age” of keeping it all “pretty simple” to what we have now, which is way overly complicated and disruptive to the cultural norms that once carried mankind for millennia, now being turned on its head!

   Of course this is no exercise to summon opinions in order to point fingers, because again as I see it, we are all guilty of something whether directly or indirectly or just for the simple fact that we belong to this society and agenda that now has its “own head of steam” propelling us deeper into what is evolving for better or worse like some massive marital conglomeration of factors and circumstances beyond the individuals control, certainly not the bliss we all would love, but surely it’s having cause and effect upon each and “every mother’s loving son and daughter!”

   I guess we would do ourselves more good if more people would “get along” and try to be united to see the actual “Truth” and act upon it with the best principles we can summon straight from the Scriptures, the word of God!  But the average citizen is caught up in a system controlled by the very powerful of the world; not the best people by any means or stretch of the imagination!

   So in closing for now; I absolutely reject Socialism and what I really call it, knowing it to be Communism where people live for the State and are basically owned not by God but by the Party who are nothing but a bunch of wicked people in a cult to control everyone and thing around them, and not the other way around as it should be where the individuals are able to be self-actualizing and fully independent human beings with all the power to control the government apparatus collectively; whilst this is the preferred arrangement that God Himself ordained for His children while living here in the flesh seeking to do His will above all!  We need a truly “God fearing people” today like never before, and that is unfortunately waning or lagging behind all of the many powerful cult agendas or even distractions, as they gaze into their smart phones!  Not good!

   God bless you and all who read here!

10. Sister-in-Christ Jesus, Joanne.  Thank you for this thought provoking and stirring presentation that ignited certainly some passion in me, but moreover, more faith in God’s plan!

    Ephesians 6:11-13 “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.”

    Sister I can empathically state with a clear conscience and heavy but also joyful heart, that this is where we as a humanity are right now, at the very precipice, that Lucifer with the many demons has driven the human race for millennia; pushing it ever more closely to the “Day of Final Judgment!”  Bible prophecy is unfolding before our eyes; in America the stark evidence of what evil is at work is absolutely undeniable and evident throughout!  Just a few decades ago public elementary school boards would discuss suggested film presentations as part of the curriculum, and whether one Disney film over another should be selected in order to make sure that the content would not be upsetting to the grammar school children; but fast forward to the present and all manner of vile and even diabolical presentations are permitted, mandated and being heavily promoted not only in the public forum, but, also in the “grammar schools” along with transsexual curriculum or at times even pornography to little children as normal fare for these little ones! 

    The war is raging before our eyes and in our truest hearts, we if containing our faculties, wits and basic common sense should see this happening without any difficulty, as the changes are rampant and blatantly in the face, wickedness sometimes cloaked in mesmerizing subtle trickery! 

    We see the aforementioned in elementary schools and throughout modern culture now and it wasn’t but several decades ago that “a moment of prayer to God Almighty” was removed from public schools while simultaneously “abortion rights were given to Americans!”  That is an absolute culture shock and it was “absolutely intended” or “demonically inspired as part of the Evil One’s planned assault upon America the nation under God!”  Was all of this effort being made in some 3rd World Nation or severely lacking place with squalor and destitution?  No it was specifically “directed full bore at America” that was shining as “a beacon of hope and justice in the world” in order to “set the world on fire” if you will and begin “to bring humanity to its knees to worship lies, false gods and Satan himself!”   America “rejected God” and began to devolve to the point where we are now, with “the majority of citizens in a tizzy and running hog-wild like so many pagan idolaters worshiping one thing or another and even themselves” as the “Principalities and Powers” rise up and attack the world through many vectors; even many pop culture icons say like an Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé, Sam Smith or Madonna have been doing flat out in ya faces!

    

    

    

    

    

    

    When this Nation founded by “God fearing” men of integrity moved forward to the present time when the heirs of this great nation, that’s us, “began rejecting God and our only Savior Jesus Christ” by the millions the portal was opened to bring in demons and all manner of evil in place of school prayer and societal moral integrity, in a Nation where at one time it was clearly understood and was seen how sodomy as the Scriptures clearly state, is an egregious mortal sin before God. This act was punishable by death in ancient times according to some societies; but most important its an abomination before God, it would certainly be entitled to the second death, which God can mete out upon a soul’s final judgment, complete separation from God eternally!  This was even actually recognized as a criminal offense here in America just several decades ago in many locales, but, now sodomy is held up as just some good thing between a man and another man, some form of love and pleasure, to be honored as well promoted, as it is in many public schools now; along with being elevated on “a pedestal of worship” in the entertainment industry; that its absolutely and obviously become an indicator of the diabolical presence in the people now!  Hollywood has become the evil abomination that God allowed me through a Godsend to realize before it was too late for me decades ago, just before I leaped into it “head-over-heals,” most probably to be lost forever if “His grace” wasn’t upon me!

    Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

    “Theologians have sought for centuries to determine what the essence of sin is. Some have chosen sensuality, others selfishness, and still others pride or unbelief. In the Old Testament, God applied different penalties to different sins, suggesting variations in the seriousness of some sins. A thief paid restitution; an occult practitioner was cut off from Israel; one who committed adultery or a homosexual act or cursed his parents was put to death (see Exodus, chapter 22 and Leviticus, chapter 20).”

    “However, remember that whether our sins are relatively small or great, they will place us in hell apart from God’s grace. The good news is that Jesus paid the penalty for our sins and the sins of the whole world at the Cross. If we will repent and turn to Jesus in faith, our sins will be forgiven, and we will receive the gift of eternal life.”

    Let’s take note of some history here for deeper reflection on the “Principalities and Powers” at work back when “Pagan Idolatry” was ruling most of the known Ancient World!

    

    “Ishtar’s role as a liminal deity gave her unique authority over the cultural roles and boundaries of Mesopotamian societies as well. Corresponding to Ishtar’s own ability to transcend categories, the goddess of love enabled her followers to defy or even redefine social boundaries, particularly those related to gender roles. Men who became priests of Ishtar, known as gala, would sometimes assume non-binary gender roles, dress in women’s clothing, and were allowed to engage in homosexuality.”

    http://www.thecollector.com/ishtar-goddess-of-love-mesopotamia/

    I’m certain in my own mind and heart deep into my soul that the floodgate has been opened wide with all manner of evil spirits and demons possessing America and many of its inhabitants now!  This is “a War beyond all Wars” ever witnessed by this generation and all previous ones combined, as the “levels of demonic influence coupled with High Technology” absolutely places mankind at “the literal precipice of Annihilation” and more aptly put “God Almighty’s wrath!”

    So with all of the “role switching” and “gender twisting” going on throughout our society and culture right now, if a person doesn’t see this horror unfolding and has no idea what it means I do pity them, but, if they see and know, yet still do not care to challenge this evil then they get their just reward when God judges them to the “Second Death!”

    Luke 12:4-6 “I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him! 6Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.”

    And we should know by now this is what it’s all coming to without any doubt; we have been forwarded and are given amble opportunity to repent while seeking the only One who can save us giving eternal salvation and peace with total joy, Jesus Christ!  Amen.

    Revelation 21:7-9 “The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son. 8But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.” 9Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

    Psalm 111:9-10 “He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name. 10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts gain rich understanding. His praise endures forever!”

    Ecclesiastes 12:12-14 “And by these, my son, be further warned: There is no end to the making of many books, and much study wearies the body. 13When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man. 14For God will bring every deed into judgment, along with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.”

    Amen.

    With love and prayers,

    Brother-in-Christ Jesus, Lawrence.

    Pray, pray, pray to Jesus Christ.  The choice is; we each choose for ourselves heaven or hell.

    I’ve been moving into a dormant blogging period for some good reasons and intend on responding as best I can to the Holy Spirit for Him to tell me when I should write, not be manipulated by convention or the social media circus where so many people play each other or even feed on each other! This very intensive exposé and fine article does “hit the proverbial nail on the head” for me, in that it points out clearly what I’ve been saying or at least thinking for a few years about what technology is doing to humanity! And most of it is horrible, but, so many are hypnotized by this digital revolution and it’s clearly not a Godly plan at all; but quite the opposite! The following quote puts it into a nutshell as to what I’ve been saying for some time and just stated here now!

    “Rather than rejoicing because the world’s richest transhumanist bought a stake in Twitter, instead a good observers should ask why we’re all plugging into the corporate borg, and becoming Cyborgs.”

    I know how powerful the unseen demonic force can be and how those that are truly materialistic and have so much material power or wealth are prone to being warped or perverted to the Evil One and his dark designs; in other words such persons becoming by default; absolutely antichrist! I’ve rejected all this digital craziness most social media and smartphones seeing all along how it ultimately is a trap being established to bring a powerful delusion to mankind; creating a giant mesmerized herd of stupidity and annihilation! It’s here now, with today’s Paul Revere calling out “the enemy is coming;” the coming of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” which is a monstrous lie and trap to control, kill you and then take your soul! Two epitome examples, Soros and Gates are owned by Satan already; and if you don’t see that you are truly lost! Soros is utterly demonic, from WWII a Nazi assistant to slaughtering Jews and stealing their belongings! Gates just helped murder countless humans by fraud plandemic! Earth is infested which such evil souls!

    Matthew 6:23-25 “But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! 24No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. 25Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?”

    

    And I agree with what you say here because I’ve arrived at the conclusion after much deep soul searching and thought coupled with prayer how this whole digital empire which most of the human race is accepting and becoming immersed in actually is a giant deception and curse! This Scripture sums up where I think we are and what is happening to the human race!

    2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 “and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. 11 For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, 12in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.”

    The world is heading to this colossal catastrophe at breakneck speed now via the greatest deception this world has ever seen and we know how easily the “Covid trap of lies” fooled so many around the planet causing them to attack each other and do great unprecedented harm!

    

    But back to what I said about those that are truly materialistic and have so much material power or wealth and are therefore prone to being warped or perverted to the Evil One’s lies and by default become antichrist! Elon Musk is one such person who is as I see him now very nefarious and corrupted even though he can talk a good tune as the saying goes or be very convincing even when he is lying; which I think he did about accepting Jesus! And with his wealth, influence and power he is a very dangerous individual to me, just as Biden is or the members of the CCP and so many other devious spiritually bankrupt highly corrupted humans all around the planet! And what you mention about Musk I add is like Biden having no problem aligning with the atheist communist totalitarian tyrants of the world, which can only turn out horrible for humanity; as in bring on Armageddon.

12. Thank you so very much, it’s an honor and my pleasure to share in this great message to the world! “Humility and personal sacrifice are so blessed” and desperately needed in this sinful chaotic world now, with all of the division and lies that abound, it seems everywhere at times!

    As my own father used to say to me over the years, we are “continually being tested!” And I’ve needed years upon years for that message to sink in! It’s too easy for us children of God to get caught up in the affairs and “crooked ways of the world,” I say especially when thinking of mostly self, which is typical for our human flesh nature.

    But, to walk along the narrow path or road just as the saints have and do, though not preferred by many of our brothers and sisters or even most of them; it is the “righteous path” which our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ tells us emphatically we should walk upon that very road, with Him by our side, as nothing can be better than “serving our Father’s will” who is in heaven. Thanks be to God in the highest.

    Isaiah 41:13 CEV “I am the LORD your God. I am holding your hand, so don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.”

    Isaiah 26:7 CEV “Our LORD, you always do right, and you make the path smooth for those who obey you.”

13. Revelation 2:5 Amplified Bible “So remember the heights from which you have fallen, and repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior—seek God’s will] and do the works you did at first [when you first knew Me]; otherwise, I will visit you and remove your lampstand (the church, its impact) from its place—unless you repent.”

    Jim Caviezel shares touching message he received from God as he hung on the cross while filming ‘The Passion of Christ’

    

    Speaking with The Christian Post, Caviezel revealed that he was drawn closer to God because of the movie. It then dawned on him to speak of God’s greatness and love through his films.

    “When [God] came close to me in ‘The Passion’ when I was on that cross, [He said], ‘They don’t love me. There are very few,’” the actor said. “I was like, ‘Well, I’m going to love You, and I’m going to tell You that I love You,’” he added. “Tell it publicly, I don’t care. I’m less afraid of ISIS than I am the media.”

    Caviezel revealed that that he did not receive many offers after doing “The Passion of the Christ. He doesn’t, however, have any regrets about working on a faith-based film because it helped him spread God’s word, “speak the truth” and make a difference.”

    1 John 2:15 “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.”

    The refusal to take sides on great moral issues is itself a decision. It is a silent acquiescence to evil. The Tragedy of our time is that those who still believe in honesty lack fire and conviction, while those who believe in dishonesty are full of passionate conviction.
    Fulton J. Sheen

    There is no word more “dangerous” than liberalism, because to oppose it is the new “unforgivable sin.”
    Fulton J. Sheen

    Civilization is always in danger when those who have never learned to obey are given the right to command.
    Fulton J. Sheen

    When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.
    Fulton J. Sheen

    If you do not worship God, you worship something, and nine times out of ten it will be yourself. You have a duty to worship God, not because He will be imperfect and unhappy if you do not, but because you will be imperfect and unhappy.
    Fulton J. Sheen

    The humble, simple souls, who are little enough to see the bigness of God in the littleness of a Babe, are therefore the only ones who will ever understand the reason of His visitation. He came to this poor earth of ours to carry on an exchange; to say to us, as only the Good God could say: ‘you give me your humanity, and I will give you my Divinity; you give me your time, and I will give you My eternity; you give me your broken heart, and I will give you Love; you give me your nothingness, and I will give you My all.
    Fulton J. Sheen

    The world is rapidly being divided into two camps, the comradeship of anti-Christ and the brotherhood of Christ. The lines between these two are being drawn. How long the battle will be we know not whether swords will have to be unsheathed we know not whether blood will have to be shed we know not whether it will be an armed conflict we know not. But in a conflict between truth and darkness, truth cannot lose.
    Fulton J. Sheen

    Very few people believe in the devil these days, which suits the devil very well. He is always helping to circulate the news of his own death. The essence of God is existence, and He defines Himself as: ‘I am Who am.’ The essence of the devil is the lie, and he defines himself as: ‘I am who am not.’ Satan has very little trouble with those who do not believe in him; they are already on his side.
    Fulton J. Sheen

15. John 3:30 “Jesus must become more important, while I become less important.”

    Mark 10:45 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

    Philippians 2:6-8 “Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross.”

    “If God were our one and only desire we would not be so easily upset when our opinions do not find outside acceptance.” ― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

    Amen.

    “Jesus was always bearing within a twofold vision, embracing both heaven and the cross.”

    This is such a magnificent revelation to consider, even though from our mere material human position, because it is “that revelation” of His “serenity” which to me demonstrates as the person “Emmanuel,” this “sovereignty and power of Jesus Christ” who was “serenity” while He walked among the earthly children of God, bearing that cross for all! This needs to be considered deeply by each of us spiritually within our hearts and souls; which can bring us into a closer relationship with our Savior!

    I must try to contemplate and imagine what it was like for those who were “in such a presence with the Lord!” And I truly should in my deepest possible genuflection meditate upon this revelation on bent knee; thusly having to love Him all the more for even considering me or any of us worthy of such sacrifice and love!

    I know all about being caught up in the distraction of the “world’s noise and clamoring constantly,” as the “crooked ways of the world” pull humanity down, and doesn’t ever lift us up from the mire or death; which only Jesus Christ can do, for all who look to Him in devout spiritual reverence and give their hearts to Him!

    Thank you for this revelation in the name of Jesus Christ.

    Ohio Sheriff Issues Warning After Meeting with FBI Director: More Terror Threats Now Than Before 9/11

    Sheriff Jones is determined to ensure his department is fully prepared to handle any potential dangers in light of FBI Director Christopher Wray’s informative session on the current threat landscape.

    “They’re here not to be our friends. Some of them are coming because they’re wanting to come here to the best country in the world. The way we see, some are coming here to do harm to us. And we were told by the FBI director, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when,” Jones warned.

    Jones was informed by federal agencies during the conference that there has been an increase in indicators of potential terrorist activity since the September 11 attacks.

    Given the ongoing military operations in two countries, Jones emphasized that among the numerous individuals from 160 different nations currently residing in the U.S., some may have malicious intentions.

17. How Satan leaves you feeling empty

    “My children, you do not see Satan at work. You cannot see him, yet he spends all his time trying to steal you from Me. He causes you terrible pain, children. All the temptations he puts your way use the worldly appeal of money, beauty, possessions and talent, which are devoured by you because of greed and desire. You believe that when you have amassed all these things that you feel complete. Sadly, this is not true. This is the lie that Satan uses to entrap. When those of you who have reached such lofty heights of wealth, find that, for whatever reason, you have lost it all, then be thankful. For it is only when you come naked of worldly possessions that you can truly allow Me into your heart.”

18. This is so profoundly refreshing and necessary, so I quote from Lawrence of the Resurrection, B; De Meester, C 1994, Writings and Conversations on the Practice of the Presence of God,  translated from the French by Salvatore Sciurba, OCD, ICS Publications, Washington DC.!

    “You will see that his principal concern throughout the more than forty years² he has been in religious life has been always to be with God, and to do, say, or think nothing that could displease him. He has no other interest than the pure love of God who deserves infinitely more besides.”

    I want to say that this is surely being in “a state of complete grace with God,” and actually is the fruit of living a “saintly life” doing God’s will daily!

    And then there is this powerful truth to hold onto that he stated!

    “My God, I am all yours; Lord, fashion me according to your heart.” It seems to him, in fact, that this God of love, satisfied with these few words, falls back to sleep and rests in the depths and center of his soul. These experiences make him so certain that God is always in the depths of his soul that he has no doubts about it, no matter what he may do or what may happen. […]

    “God,” he says, “has infinite treasures to give us, yet we are satisfied with a bit of perceptible devotion that passes in an instant.” He complains that “we are blind since we bind God’s hands in this way and halt the abundant flow of his graces; yet when God finds a soul penetrated by an intense faith he pours out his graces in abundance.”

    “Yes, sometimes we stop this torrent by our lack of appreciation for it. We must not stop it any longer, dear Mother; we must turn inward, break through the dam, let grace come forth, and make up for lost time. We have so little time left to live. Death is at our heels, so be on guard:⁴ death comes only once!…”

    This is such an important and again for me quite timely message inspired by God!   Just over the past week I had written some commentary to a theologian who also mentioned Brother Lawrence!

    I had only learned about him a few years ago and I mentioned him within the context of some of my Christian writings on this Web Site.

    Now here we are recognizing this deep and devout spiritual connection by Brother Lawrence and the profound wonderful effect it has upon the deeply faithful and those individuals who as in this case share this inspirational grace derived through such love and appreciation of the abundant gifts our heavenly Father gives to those faithful servants who put Him above all else!

    But now I sadly add that the polar opposite to this beauty and God’s truth is the stark reality of a world gone mad, with deceptions and horrid sin running rampant around the globe.

    In today’s modern world we see “rebellion” on many fronts against this “basic fundamental condition” or tenet, where at times some women try to be the same as men or even visa-versa in all areas of human behavior, performance and capabilities.  Do we see in the animal kingdom this feuding or opposition between the sexes?  No we do not, and that would be counterproductive to the species, but, some humans try to have it their own way much too often and try to second guess or outsmart God; while some now even totally reject Him saying He is a folktale or worse.  I say this is obviously work of the Devil, who wants disarray and rebellion against God by the very part of creation that God made His centerpiece!  So now we see radical attitudes and ideas being promulgated or even foisted and pushed to the hilt with things like “transgenderism and gender reassignment” gone wild throughout!  To me that there is even such a debate or “contradictions of basic truths” going on that have served Mankind well throughout the ages; is indicative of the fact that we must surely be in “End Time” or in any event the Season to fulfill it, according to Bible Prophesy or the Word of God!

    I truly don’t think for a moment that God intended for men and women to “duel each other to no end” (rabid conflict) in order to eventually destroy each other, which is exactly what is going on these days; surely this is beyond madness and into the realm of the diabolical!  I also know that hardcore feminism took off in the early 20th century along with Communism, and they do go “hand-in-hand” being that as I see it, both were inspired and manifested by Satan through men like Karl Marx, who actually was known to worship the father of all lies! 

    Now we know with the digital world these ideas, thoughts and desires have exploded throughout the world and through all cultures, people and age groups; quite sadly!  This coupled with a very promiscuous culture that revolves around secular materialism and sexuality, while now things like human trafficking are going on rampantly, truly all of it is out of control here in America, so I have to wonder how much more can this go on and will God put up with this absolute perversion, blasphemy and abomination of the purpose and beauty that God originally created for husbands and wives along with genuine family!

    I believe you have brought this to the fore as a Godsend, because it’s absolutely timely and imperative for all human beings to consider and review in their own lives, in order to actually gain a more proper foothold with the Lord; while there is still opportunity to do it!

    I just stated the following Scripture verses in a comment I made, but, the final verse absolutely applies in this context I speak to here in your work, and for all of us to take to heart!

    1 Timothy 6:9-11 “Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. 11But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.”

    I have to ask does the human race continue on this current path or is the greatest awakening in the hearts and minds of God’s children of all time standing before us, as His plan unfolds!  

    It became so clear over the last few years that this is what is coming like a freight train running out of control down a mountain with all of its inertia and no brakes or manmade device powerful enough to stop the inevitable destruction that will ensue and result from all of this madness and sinful “Ways of The World” greed, lust for power and a world riddled with corruption; while many human beings are becoming more sinister and inhuman by the day; both figuratively and literally! We are on the actual precipice and a hair trigger away from total annihilation yet people like in Noah’s time of the Great Flood are acting like they have all the time in the world and are so wrapped up in triviality or even stupidity!

    John 3:30-31 “He must increase; I must decrease. 31The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all.”

    “Then [Jesus] said to them all, “If any wish to come after me, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it.” Luke 9:23-24

    After all isn’t the human race primarily promoting the opposite of these virtues exemplified in these writings, in thought and actions or behaviors!  Today’s world is a world where far too many people love all the pleasures and trappings of the world over God and most seek selfish material gain and certainly not to live a life of servitude and to be completely humble or chaste in all regards!

    1 Thessalonians 4:11(Aramaic Bible in Plain English) “And that you would be diligent, peaceable and occupied with your business, working with your hands just as we commanded you,”

    Thank you and God’s blessings to you always.

    Brother-in-Christ Jesus,

    P.S. I just thought how over the top and frenzied the populations are over hero or pop icon worship, after seeing a news clip about how exciting it is to see Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce bantering about at the Super Bowl Stadium right after the Big Win and sadly what I see is people who are all worshiping two people with far too much materially who are just infatuated and egotistically in love with their own and each other’s fame and fortunes, which is used to drive the public’s desire to devour more of these falsehoods being propagated by the Beast System! It was even brought to light how Biden and his nefarious behind the scenes operators had rigged the Super Bowl to come out just as it did, so then Taylor Swift could make an appearance at the White House to endorse Biden for 2024 to draw in much of the youth vote. If people can’t see how they are being played and manipulated to believe in absolute lies and diabolical falsehoods then I so pity them but there are many who know and don’t care because they believe in the Beast over God Almighty!

21. I made this following comment back in April 2022, and sadly things have only gotten worse, but, I see more people waking up and most important turning to Jesus Christ!

    “A much darker world” and I say the darkest to be candid! I was just talking with a sister today saying how I really feel sad for the children growing up in this mess of a world that in only a few decades has been transformed into near pandemonium and when she and I were growing up it was nothing this sinister and ugly looking! We had some real reasons to have some hope for the world’s future along with us enjoying life in it and not really thinking in terms of actual End Time! But now that landscape not only “out your window” but the entire planet’s terrain is blanketed with a darkness that is no doubt from hell. The still fervent good is that, if we are truly faithful, we have nothing to fear and should live our lives one day at a time for God, through Jesus Christ as our only example of how to live; having all hope and love for Him knowing that He is our Good Shepherd! And through our faith in Him as our Savior we are saved; and therefore we know, He will never let us go! Children today need Jesus, and there are so many diabolical forces through countless minions in all walks of life making it so treacherous for the little ones, but, Jesus is on the way! Amen.

Absolutely beautiful! I point to this passage because I can truly understand by the simple fact of my own sins how our Savior’s heart is so full of love, mercy and forgiveness given to us by the power and glory of the Father, Almighty God; “their repentance, and especially… their loving audacity!” 

    True repentance and sorrow is a joy to our God, because the genuine love is unmistakable when a child of God on bent knee has reached that level of sorrow, when sinners can in their hearts finally juxtapose themselves suffering on that cross, though in mind only, yet realizing all that punishment Jesus endured and took was our deserved punishment; it was really our own “personal damnation” being “forestalled and taken away” with “His complete absolute loving sacrifice.” Jesus could see and felt all the actual sins even yet to come in this fallen world; so I try to envision what that was like for Him in my own tiny fragmentary way!

    When I see in my mind and heart, deep into my own soul, even whether by watching the Passion movie or I truly envision that day on Calvary our beautiful and beloved Savior Jesus Christ nailed to a cross, how He suffered for me as I’m part of the blame, I cry like a child, I’m so sorry Jesus, I’m a broken sinful man!  But I won’t ever give up, because you provided me with an opportunity to be redeemed because you love me that much, therefore, I must try my best for you Lord! Thank you, I want to give you my heart and all, in order to love you the same! ✝️

    Amen.

    Brother-in-Christ Jesus,

    Thank you very much…and the same blessing for Lenten to you! 💜

    Shalom

    Because we are on our Lenten journey I decided to return to this and add further thought in an effort to focus upon the matter and duty at hand.

    And why do I speak as one condemned who committed sin that is in need of being saved?

    Because regardless of the multitude of good deeds and actions I have done during my life I must remain cognizant of the absolute truth and bear in mind that Jesus died for “all sins of the world” and “all have indeed sinned” as Scriptures tell us, “all fall short.”

    Romans 3:22-24 “And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”

    As I see it, I certainly don’t want to fall into the trap of thinking as the Pharisees did, when they seeing themselves as impervious and so far above reproach or fault, they indeed committed a most egregious sin of being so pious to think they make themselves Holy, therefore above all sin; thereby some of them even went as far as to reject the Savior Jesus Christ!

    But sin is anything that keeps us from doing the precise will of God, and that can be in action, thought or the lack thereof; because even the things we fail to do or sometimes just by “the way we think” we have sinned, and so again not met the mark precisely of God’s will.

    And I say this because the good news in all of it is contained in the following Scripture for those who try their best to be “obedient to His will or fully repent!”

    Romans 6:22-23 “But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life. 23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

    Therefore we should always try our best to seek His will while in “humble sublime prayerful supplication” so that we remain in “a state of grace.”

    God bless.

    Brother-in-Christ Jesus,

23. Very enlightening and imperative truthful insights here Sister Joanne!

    “We in the west are very independently minded.” That is a sharp but accurate statement of truth about far too many of us citizens, but, I dare say of modern man overall.  And yes, we too often are as you point out, or as I say it, constantly seeking not only attention, praise, adulation or many forms of ego boosting (self-worship), but at the heart of it; “we still retain a strong sense of autonomy.”

    I would go as far to say that many in today’s modern world take this much further and become arrogant, selfish and then obnoxious, as they’re in a sense drunken with self-gloating foolishness, even narcissistic!  Look as some of the Pop Music Icons of today and the videos that they’re performing in with so much decadence, lustful materialistic debauchery and in some cases actual “pagan idolatry” or “Satanic like rituals” that debase them and I believe separate them from God!  

    Power, money and ego have taken them over and those are tools or instruments of the Devil, anyone with an inkling who is honest with his or her self knows this.  And another basic fact pointing out this truth, especially in relation to Christianity is that “cleanliness is next to Godliness.”  Or as I understand, it’s not so much who bathes the body more often, but who rather bathes their soul and heart with the Holy Spirit through God’s word, becoming a slave to the Lord! 

    Psalm 24:3-4 ESV “Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully.”

    Isaiah 1:16 ESV “Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil,”

    2 Corinthians 7:1 ESV  “Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.”

    This can be illustrated by realizing when we examine the lives of the genuine devout followers of Jesus Christ from the apostles and on to the current devout disciples, which does clearly describe more accurately how “selflessness is the path to saintliness.”  And doesn’t God’s word tell us to “give away our processions and follow Him,” yet most people do the exact opposite and seek more and more material wealth and things; “making them slaves to the material world and possessions!”

    John 3:30-32 “He must increase; I must decrease. 31The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all. 32He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.”

    John 3:34-36 “For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. 35The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands. 36Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”

    If all good things are possible through Christ especially our salvation, then what is there that we need more?

    Matthew 6:24-26 “No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. 25Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”

    Amen.

    And Hallelujah!

    Brother-in-Christ Jesus,

24. We human are in way more danger or trouble than most want to think about let alone believe possible! Over the past few years I’ve written extensively about why this is true and I leave here links to a few of those writings for you to consider if you are striving to see and know Truth!

    The human race lives by a Culture of Death and total Lies on top of Lies! The grip of the diabolical on humanity and the planet has never been anywhere near what it is now which can only lead to total destruction. Dangling on the precipice!

25. Virginity or let’s call it what it is, “a state of physical undefiled purity” which is admirable and as I see it as close to being actually what God intended for His children when He created Adam and Eve! 

    But sadly though, we are in a world now that is so far removed from that “Original Conceptualization” of purity and exponentially beyond “Original Sin!” Nonetheless I see such a stark beauty and power (spiritual) in those who are truly virgins; moreover not just physically, but in mind and heart, thereby soul, as any human earthly person can be; what a “state of grace” to be in, “that is so magnificent and beautiful” to me, like a true child of God’s!

    Thank you!  You’re very welcome, and sure is good to get a “chick or the egg came first question!” Is it purity of mind and heart that precedes physical purity? Yes Aquinas and others have said much about it! I without even considering any of that tend to immediately realize that Scriptures tell us how “Jesus seeks out the heart” and “it’s by our heart that we are judged.” He knows the hearts of all men and women and thereby is a “just judge” as He judges as no other can for “it’s by the heart that we are known and valued against sin or corruption!” People are fallible and can err or make mistakes, but, the end result after reconciliation, “repentance and doing penance” has great value in “restoring a soul to the stature and purity that God demands in His glorious presence!”

    As we know some of the apostles were brutes or foul carrying mortal sin when they were chosen as disciples to follow Jesus and minster to the flock!  I can see how all humans are fallen and capable of sin or that which is not pleasing to our Father in heaven.  Now the Apostles are holy and stand as a testimony to all the world and forever, as to what is possible with God, especially for our sake the Everlasting Covenant through Jesus Christ! Therefore the “redemptive process” that was provided by Jesus Christ becoming “The Lamb of God” who takes away sin is “The New and Everlasting Covenant” that deals with sin for all those who will accept this gift of love from God, by our humble faith in and love of Jesus; our beloved Savior! 

    So I could argue in both directions as to “the chicken or the egg question” and which is necessary before the other, perhaps they both are equally important or neither is in this case, because God has “ordained through the body and blood of Christ” the resolution of any conflict of human nature and God’s Holiness, all things come into alignment with God’s purposes as He is perfect, and knows all things, so I would say He has it all covered!  We have to listen up, and learn all we can about “His plan,” and assuredly “His will for us,” to follow like slaves to the best of our ability and “be thankful for every opportunity He gives us,” whether it’s to be corrected and even to fail, so that ultimately we become the “best version” that we are “meant to be” according to “His divine holy purpose,” that “can only be perfect and holy in the end result!”  I’ve learned that God sure won’t let us fall by the wayside if we “don’t deserve it,” even after making so “many mistakes and being a fool,” He is the only “actual Father and the greatest” that we could and do have, “His love knows no end,” but it’s we children that can ruin it if we really want to defy Him! I say rebelliousness is the original ugly enemy, as we know Lucifer brought on the wrath from God for doing that!

    Then I think of an innocent baby, and how “sweet and pure” they are, but not understanding any of this or knowing sin at all, a big transition from baby to adult, and such dramatic change that can be either horrible or glorious!  But it’s when as they say we get to understand growing up “what the difference is between right and wrong” and therein is when the “real battle begins,” so some all depending may grow up to be magnificent pure adults of body, mind and spirit while others will “run off the rails” as they say and delve deeper into sin as they go, warnings or not, yet perhaps one day being retrieved and joining the holy! Jesus is calling all sinners to come to Him with an open heart; or possibly on the other hand to be lost to damnation!  We are “all on trial” in a sense and “being tested,” but while “we also are living out God’s plan and purposes,” only He knows all!  It’s the end result that counts, and after all that is why Jesus our beloved Savior took the fullness of all human sin paying the “full ransom for any” who will “turn to Him in faith, accepting Him as our only path to everlasting life in heaven!”

    Amen.

    God bless you!

26. People, doesn’t it come down to this in the final analysis.

    Yet, this world as it is reeking and seething with immorality and sin!

    John 3:16 Aramaic Bible in Plain English “For God loved the world in this way: so much that he would give up his Son, The Only One, so that everyone who trusts in him shall not be lost, but he shall have eternal life.”

    2 Peter 3:9 Aramaic Bible in Plain English “THE LORD JEHOVAH does not delay his promises as people consider delay, but he is patient for your sakes, and because he is not willing that any person would perish, but that every person would come to conversion.”

27. “Gestas is also known by such names as the “bad thief”, the “unrepentant thief” and the “blasphemous thief”. Gestas was crucified on the left of Christ. Unlike Dismas, Gestas did not recognize Christ as the Saviour and did not repent of his misdeeds. He only wanted to be saved from his sufferings on the cross.” (religionwikia.org)

    Sounds to me just like Biden the FAKE Catholic or for that matter Christian; who will already go down as the one President who appropriated the most billions of dollars to kill human babies slumbering in their mothers’ wombs!

    “But he rebuked him saying, ‘Do you not fear God?” This is the second thing about this penitent thief Dismas: he feared God. God was real to him. God was his creator, and he knew that a pot can’t take up arms against the potter and come away victorious. It is fitting that creatures bow in submission before their creator and subject all their life to his wisdom. It is even more fitting that sinful creatures bow before God in holy fear, instead of railing against God as if a rebel ant should kick against the foothills of Mt. Everest and demand that it flatten out so the ant can walk across.”

    Third, the penitent thief admitted that he had done wrong: “We are receiving the due reward of our deeds” (v. 41). He had no desire to save face any more; he had no more will to assert himself. He was here and laid open before the God he feared and there was no way to hide his guilt. I know people right now who are in trouble. But instead of laying down their self-righteous defenses, they are devising every means to finagle and distort so as to appear innocent and cool. The penitent thief gave it up. It’s a hopeless tack, anyway, before an all-knowing God!”

    “We are under the sentence of condemnation justly.” This is the real test of humility before God. Many will mouth the confession of sin: “God be merciful to us miserable sinners,” but when some trouble comes, they get angry at him. And this anger reveals that they do not really feel undeserving before God. They still feel, deep down, that they have some rights before God. There are not many people like Job, who, when he lost everything, said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb and naked shall I return; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” But this penitent thief did become like Job in the last minutes of his life—he took his suffering without complaint, and feared God.”

28. “The search for a spiritual father (or mother) is one that takes us deeply into the mystery of our spiritual growth. There are of course monks whose lives are filled with prayer whose insight into the condition of a person is a gift from God. The staretz and spiritual fathers of the Holy Mountain are such cases who see into the soul of a person. Yet God in His mercy and grace does not reserve this gift solely for the monk- again love and being wrapped by the care of some kind God filled soul is, as you say yourself, a key to this.

    Obedience and mutual respect is a beautiful gift within this relationship. Just as we are drawn to friends, the Holy Spirit leads us to find the one whom God has prepared for us if we are open to the leading of the Holy Spirit and recognise those living signposts whom God has set before our path.

    There is no such thing as coincidence, only Divine providence.”

29. The problem with this concept of an equal partnership of discipleship among men and women is the clear fact that God could have and would have simply had Jesus set that arrangement in motion when he was on earth by choosing a few good women or say even 6 as Apostles among the 12 with no room for ambiguity. There was no equal employment opportunity or affirmative action man-made regulatory organizations or other such legalistic venues at the time, thank God; but now we have feminists and many such organizations like the ACLU or Southern Poverty Law Center with many others, all of them atheistic, that would love nothing more than to turn everything upside-down and rearrange what God ordained from day one!

    But yet these arguments obviously fly in the face of common sense, because why is it that Protestants along with many other Christian denominations here in America which in total we have about 2000 of them domestically and globally near 45,000; most of which adamantly reject that the mother of Jesus Christ was a holy virgin chosen by God to be the Blessed Holy Mary Mother of Jesus Christ the Son of God, and who from then on would have a special place in God’s divine plan to save humanity from damnation! I’ve had Protestants tell me to my face Catholics are a false faith, and that their giving any importance to Mary is wicked, because the Scriptures point out that she was just a woman, so they give “zero” reverence to Mary the Mother of Jesus Christ! But we now should give elevated reference to simple women of the past that weren’t Apostles or “key figures” in God’s plan; I don’t buy any of the “anti-patriarchal agenda” of the “feminists, communists or the outright rabble-rouse Left!” All of them are radicals who insist on tearing apart the “well-established foundations” and traditions of the past throughout history that “God ordained and created,” so that they can now serve their own man-made plans or purposes while “twisting and using Jesus;” with the likes of things such as gender neutral, transgender and “all manner of radicalized concepts of what mankind is or what a family should be!”

    No, this is all more of the global push to “destabilize and ruin” what “God intended” and moving forward to then open the door to much worse, as in “the rule of the antichrist” on earth! Look at many universities and the leftist atheist (communist) ilk therein that promote all sorts of “insane radical concepts” upon the younger generations; all “in the name of inclusion, diversity and equity!” The train is “running off the rails” as the saying goes, and it’s going to be “more of a disaster than it already is in short order as the blasphemies mushroom out of control!”

    But now I sadly say that the polar opposite to the beauty of God’s truth, is the stark reality of “a world gone mad,” with “deceptions and horrid sin running rampant” around the globe.

    In today’s modern world we see “rebellion” on many fronts against the “basic fundamental condition” or tenets, where at times some women try to be the same as men or even visa-versa in all areas of human behavior, performance and capabilities. Do we see in the animal kingdom this feuding or opposition between the sexes? No we do not, and that would be counterproductive to the species, but, some humans try to have it their “own way” much too often and try to second guess or outsmart God; while some now even totally reject Him saying He is a folktale or worse. I say this is obviously, work of the Devil, who wants disarray and rebellion against God by the very part of creation that God made “His centerpiece!” So now we see radical attitudes and ideas being promulgated or even foisted and pushed to the hilt with things like “transgenderism and gender reassignment” gone wild throughout! To me that there is even such a debate or “contradictions of basic truths” going on that have served Mankind well throughout the ages; is indicative of the fact that we must surely be in “End Time” or in any event the Season to fulfill it, according to Bible Prophesy or the Word of God!

    I truly don’t think for a moment that God intended for men and women to “duel each other to no end” (rabid conflict) in order to eventually destroy each other, which is exactly what is going on these days; surely this is beyond madness and into the realm of the diabolical! I also know that hardcore feminism took off in the early 20th century along with Communism, and they do go “hand-in-hand” being that as I see it, both were inspired and manifested by Satan through men like Karl Marx, who actually was known to worship the father of all lies!

    Now we know with the digital world these ideas, thoughts and desires have exploded throughout the world and through all cultures, people and age groups; quite sadly! This coupled with a very promiscuous culture that revolves around secular materialism and sexuality, while now things like human trafficking are going on rampantly, truly all of it is out of control here in America, so I have to wonder how much more can this go on and will God put up with this absolute perversion, blasphemy and abomination of the purpose and beauty that God originally created for husbands and wives along with genuine family!

    Could this all be a Godsend, a juncture or demarcation point, because it’s absolutely timely and imperative for all human beings to “carefully consider and review all within their own lives,” in order to actually gain a more “proper foothold with the Lord;” while there “is still opportunity” to do it!

    It became so clear over the last few years that this is what is coming, like a freight train running out of control down a mountain with all of its inertia and no brakes or man-made device powerful enough to stop the inevitable destruction that will ensue and result from all of this madness and sinful “Ways of The World” greed, lust for power and a world riddled with corruption! Yet making matters even worse this is happening simultaneously while many human beings are becoming more “sinister and inhuman” by the day; both “figuratively and literally!” We are on “the actual precipice” and “a hair trigger away from total annihilation” yet people like in Noah’s time of the Great Flood are acting like they have “all the time in the world” and are so “wrapped up in triviality or even stupidity!”

    John 3:30-31 “He must increase; I must decrease. 31The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all.”

30. “There is a middle ground of mutuality, where men and women respect each other and work together cooperatively and complementarily, each as they are appointed, anointed, and gifted by the Holy Spirit.”

    Joanne sister-in-Christ Jesus, that is all well and good, but yet, I see less and less cooperation amongst them as the centuries pass to where now it’s anyone’s guess what order could possibly come from the “fragmentary severely disheveled and defiant” society of today!

    I see God’s prophesy unfolding before our eyes, but, not what He desires of us as His children; rather more of what the Devil has deceived and prodded human kind toward. Of course God and His plan will prevail, but not before things get much uglier and wrong, far beyond what we can imagine! Already in the pipeline beyond “human genome editing” is “trans-humanism” where some will consider morphing human beings into something very special as they think, some big name so called experts on the cutting edge R&D who now have brain chips ready for interfacing the human mind with the cloud; what could possibly go wrong! I speak harshly because we’re not in “a pretend or Sci-Fi movie” it’s really here and happening soon! Is all of this inspired by the Holy Spirit? NOT!

    So my point is we have been in “a very long slow-mo crash disaster in the making” that really got sped up exponentially in the 20th and 21st centuries!

    As far as “the dueling” between men and women doing damage which we can see the results of by just looking around; I actually see the problem as even more of “mankind dueling with itself” which is the next level.

    As I do agree with many of these points you make or illustrate well; “the brokenness of humankind that God prophesied with great sorrow and grief,” and I only add that “things have grown much worse” with the passing of time and the now “more radicalized broken human views of what is broken or how to fix it!” That ditch or (pit) that humans fell into long ago of their own volition just grows deeper and continues to fill with “added putrefaction” the deeper they go, like a “Dante’s Inferno” descent through tighter circles into hell, and eventual oblivion. I mean turn on a television any time of day or look at a multitude of internet sites and see the waste of time pagan, degenerating and even immoral trash being advocated, promoted or pushed upon the society at large, which many are more than willing to accept and slurp up in the name of entertainment or even so called News!

    Indeed as you state, “This was Israel’s big chance to fulfill the mission God had given,” but look where the human race is through the millennia, even after being given such a golden opportunity to straighten out or get right with God; as I see it worse off than if they were ignorant animals running loose, because, with so much intellect, history and capability to be much better off than the wild animals, “the evil keeps building and escalating” over the centuries to where we now see presently “some of the most sinister and demonic plans unfolding” in governments, corporations, elitist inner circles and many other smaller organizations; all with the central theme of “anti-God and totalitarianism of the masses!”

    You see what gets me peeved with all of this is just how “phony and even rotten” human beings have become with their “lip service” or “fancy rhetoric” and “saying one thing and doing another” being “truly two-faced” and “backstabbing” perpetually! For example we had Obama for 8 years and look what he and his entourage did to our Nation under God while the current Biden scam continues in that vein with Congress toeing the line, and there is absolutely no reason for any of it other than the truth being, that humans are a horribly corrupt lot! And I go back to the old standby Scripture that said it plain and simple which now “comes home to roost” and worse now than back then with the ancients!

    Yes I speak pessimistically like this following Scripture, but, I don’t have to look very far to see so much decadence, materialistic idol worship, paganism, violence, stupidity, gluttony and self-centeredness all of which is running or controlling this planet, and it makes me sick!

    The most powerful and rich are the biggest pigs and they look it! I ask where is the improvement over thousands of years? It’s gotten exponentially worse and now evil rears its ugly head in ways never imagined throughout history! “The 2020 Summer of Love” Nationwide Riots and Destruction, was just a hint of what’s to come!

    Romans 3:9-11 “What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin. 10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. 11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. 12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” 13“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”

    Those lips are giving so much lip service in all strata of society and the net result is the same; nothing but lies, deception and debauchery!

    To hell in a hand-basket for sure!

    We need Jesus Christ to return so badly!

31. Sister-in-Christ Jesus. One additional thought to share Joanne. You stated regarding men and women that “God’s intent is equality, and that is what the early church practiced until about the 5th century on.”

    The issue I have straight out with that concept by itself is, “in what way do we speak about this equality?” Off the top they are profoundly different and meant to be! We could discuss that innate difference down to the chromosome level of which there has been deep research and conclusive discussion by the top minds in this science. Or focusing in on just the obvious facts that men for the most part have always been physically bigger and stronger, for good reason I might add, and that was God’s intention! While women have absolutely remarkable physical built-in differences being able to carry and bear another human being, which men have never been able to do nor will they ever!

    I know these factors are academic to most, but yet, today we have the bizarre among us that make arguments that men can have babies or whatever they want to imagine they can do! I say because of the differences I just mentioned above, and there are many others on a psychological as well as emotional level, that the bottom-line is they are not equal, and never will be in this present form, while of course from a spiritual reference that’s another matter entirely.

    Now then, equality of being both human beings male and female born with those “inalienable rights” that our forefathers spoke to, I absolutely agree that all men and all women are equally endowed and should be, as “that is God’s will!” But I do get frustrated with many people who run hog-wild with some pointless arguments about women should be totally equal to men in all regards when that is impossible, and I’ve mentioned in previous commentary that rather than attacking each other over these differences and inequalities which are obvious, that all people should “face the facts” and admit that “together men and women do complement each other,” and each brings not just physical attributes to say protect, or bear children, to the fore; but they can have a synergistic relationship where together they are each at their best, each doing the things they can do better or only can do over each other which is what God intended; making the combination of the two the best possible outcome, as individually they would never achieve such a plateau!

    I just was hoping to make it clear what I really see going on with people in this regard. Far too much confusion, and to be blunt, stupidity!

32. Yes Joanne, sister in the Lord Jesus Christ! I appreciated this fine overview you present here of the rise and fall of societal norms or in essence the balance or harmony and benevolent order that is of God even in Ancient times! But then I see we both have pointed out the same thing, in that, extremes are the cause of most if not all of the unrest in societies as even back then in ancient times and now today, the extremists (radicals) always throw a “monkey wrench” into the “achievable balance.” As for example the now “fake climate crisis” has created an actual “global food and energy crisis” that is going to kill off millions to perhaps billions of God’s children, all of it completely unnecessarily, but that balance or harmony I mention is being tossed aside for a minority crazy viewpoint (radicals) so the fragile real balance we as mere children of God can attain in this imperfect temporary physical state that we must live in until God makes its otherwise! Until the time, “we become like the angels with no marriage and the like,” with the “culmination of His plan for this world” when it enters the new world and is part of His heavenly kingdom again, maybe we can say the reverse of the “Big Bang.” As Scripture tells us “in the twinkling of an eye” God can and will transform all things in accordance with His divine purposes!

    But I say we best use what we have to work with and the opportunities to do God’s will to the very best of our abilities, collectively and individually, “if we know what’s good for us,” because there is no man-made way to eternal life and we best “serve the Master” and put any notions of “transitions, or engineered lifestyles” aside and kick them into the dust! As I have learned through my own personalized school of hard knocks it comes down to “facing reality and the facts” before us! Too often any of us can come up with or concoct some notion or idea that we think will fly and do us more good than “staying inline” or on track with the “tried tested and proven traditional narrow path” that does work, even if not perfect or as easy and pleasant at all times that we would like, it is “the right way!”

    “We know from the Bible there were a good number of women who were prophets, and who must have prophesied during worship meetings.”

    Perhaps, and again I point out that just because there was a smidgen of “female dominance” during a certain period as compared to the bulk of history, lest we forget such a female without here royal entourage or army of protectors she would be nothing but chopped liver! Because these are basically aberrations in the long haul, so does not mean that we should suddenly put the majority aside or put asunder “the mainstay” for a single conclave or even cult! Which by the way is exactly what the American society and government have done over the last few decades, and especially the last few years in earnest, for which we are suffering severely the consequences of such foolish behavior and thinking. Back in “ancient times” there were many more women who practiced the “dark arts or witchcraft” than men, which has absolutely taken off exponentially in today’s whacked-out feminist driven, now extremely pagan not Christian rooted culture, which is flowing over the top of the society like a tsunami, and into all facets of society; making for a very disturbed and dangerous situation.

    Just a side note; when and if the human race is transformed to “living under water” I for one will prefer that women do all the ruling, as mermaids are much nicer to have around down deep in the ocean than tough guys, and mermaids have their “alluring powers” that can conquer as well as hold just about anyone “spell bound!” Yes I try to lighten up the “harsh reality” that I tend to think about too much or at least more than most people around me these days! The Super Bowl meant nothing to me and won’t ever, but, try and tell all the guys or even many of the gals around here that I’m right if you want an argument or even a fight on your hands; here is when the mermaids or in a sense the “angels” come into play!

    And thus we see how easy it is to run off the rails and into myth!

    God bless you and yours,
    Brother-in-Christ Jesus,

33. Sister Joanne-in-Christ Jesus,

    Something interesting came to my attention today which was an episode from a famous TV show from back in “The best of television days.”

    I really enjoy these older programs, so I search now and then or just happen to tune in at the right moment like I did today, and find such finer fare for my viewing than the typical dribble of today!  This was fun to watch, but it also covered some territory that came up in my previous comments regarding “Feminism” or going beyond the typical norms, even breaking that glass ceiling perhaps when it comes to the battle between men and women which I stated got out of hand in the early 1900’s!  Well this story is a true one and was not just very entertaining, but also educational, as it proves I was off a bit on when this tension between men and women got going or heated up!  And this Lady Pauline was quite a lady, as well as “one tough cookie” as they say, with a good heart!  She was given commendation by even President Abraham Lincoln who has always been one of my all-time favorite iconic historical persons!!! Go figure is someone giving me a kick or something?  Sorry Honest Abe if I spoke out of turn!

    Sister I am so moved by what happened it really warms my heart and brings a tear to my eyes because after watching this old TV episode I plugged in Abraham Lincoln to do a search of my Word Press files and “lo and behold” right at the top of the listings was this first and then third suggestions, and when I read them again I found much to contemplate, such beautiful Scriptures as well that I pointed out in these writings.

    I know you are way too busy, but at least for now if you have this put aside maybe when there is a bit of time down the road to review them, and of course that TV story about Pauline which I’m sure you will enjoy; any thoughts would be

    greatly appreciated!  I mean it when I say, I’m not anticipating any of this anytime soon, so whenever is wonderful!

    Divine Providence and God’s Will

    Before Thanksgiving Fades into Memory, Hear the Words of Abraham Lincoln

    Thank you.

    God bless you and yours.

    The Wooing of Perilous Pauline

    “Considered the most beautiful heroine of the Old West”

    “Pauline Cushman (born Harriet Wood, 1833-1893) was an American actress and a spy for the Union Army during the American Civil War; she is considered one of the most successful Civil War spies. She was awarded the rank of brevet major by General James A. Garfield, and made an honorary major by President Abraham Lincoln and became known as “Miss Major Pauline Cushman.”

    In 1879, she met Jere Fryer and moved to Casa Grande, Arizona Territory, where they married (her third husband) and operated a hotel and livery stable. Jere Fryer became the sheriff of Pinal County. Their adopted daughter, Emma, died on 17 Apr 1888 of a seizure at 6 years old. As a result, the Fryers separated in 1890.

    During her final years, Pauline lived in poverty and was disabled due to rheumatism and arthritis. She developed an addiction to pain medication and overdosed on morphine on 2 Dec 1893.”

    Sorry but I just remembered I said how I would consider sending another link earlier, and so seeing as I just sent you all of that, here is just one other link that came up today in my commentaries from past writings.  There were a few other links and some excerpts but I figure I should quit while I’m ahead with all of these long comments! I hope I’ve actually shared the most important information to do some good.

    Thank you for all your consideration!

    God bless!

34. God is so beautiful and precious beyond our mere limited comprehension; we’re in God’s case speaking to the Alpha and the Omega who has infinite understanding!

    So what a perfect statement you’ve provided here in conclusion, for to behold this infinite love and grace you’ve described that God must surely have for those that genuinely love Him is so inspiring; “God will often allow sin to run its course, but there is always a path that leads back to God, to restoration and life, for: Those who lose their life for Jesus’ sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it.” G&P

    God’s forgiveness is so powerful and earth shattering, knowing and encompassing all things seen and unseen!
    Amen.

    Only God truly knows each and every one of us in every detail throughout our lives!

    Jeremiah 17:10 “I, the LORD, examine the mind, I test the heart to give to each according to his way, according to what his actions deserve.”

35. I just referred to the power and corruption at work throughout which applied to even this! We’re all being played and Gaslighted deep into the subconscious mind.

    Still this news does nothing to change the paradigm of the human race being pushed to the precipice of global totalitarian control!

    The underlying problem is pure evil is taking over the human race like never before and on a global level because of the technology and build-in control factors! This is the old world adage of “The Haves And Have-Nots” but now on steroids and because of mass media in this high-tech world we see them constantly in our faces, and how there are many wealthy individuals who are gloating with way more than they ever will ever need in this world, like stuffed pigs who “serve the beast” (Satan) like say Beyoncé, Oprah or Taylor Swift while the majority of people are living “pay check to pay check” if even that that!

    That is a very sick and ugly world, but it’s getting much worse because now those that have are all racing to be members of “the exclusive globalists club to protect themselves and have real power;” say like the actor Leonardo DiCaprio with so many other celebs being in that club with Biden, Bill Gates, Soros and Klaus Schwab along with the giants like Rothschild or Rockefeller!

    All true and part of the plan as the “controlled opposition” continues! Effectively the People have no government! We’re not much better off than those nations with Dictatorships or Banana Republics!  China has become the #1 manufacturer or goods producer in the world which used to be the United States, but with a corrupt crony Congress and ilk like China Joe we’ve been sold down the river like the chumps we all are now!  Look what the J6 election protestors (not insurrectionists) are still going through (nobody gives a flying banana peel) and you know this isn’t America anymore! If and when they decide to start hauling all of our asses off to internment camps (where close to that look how they treat foreign invaders better than our own seniors and veterans, many on the streets while those invaders get put up at 5 star hotels in NYC) and there isn’t going to be much done to stop it! 

    I’ve sadly grown steadily to not trust human beings period, but, especially any governments or those that regulate and control power in any system. The old adage of “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” is so blatantly obvious and in our faces throughout now! “Money is the root of many evils” as the Scriptures say, and look around at all of the ugly, decadent money hungry power player’s through-out society; very evil people and start with the ilk in the White House as a case in point with his 55 years of bilking the public like a parasite living in an animal’s gut! Need I say more!

    Musk isn’t saving anything this is a huge JOKE! He is all about himself and is as weird as they come!  Don’t be fooled and I warn you the Antichrist is coming to this sick world!

    This is just diversion and the Big Game being played by the Big Shots and Elon is a Major Player!

    If you people out there think Free Speech exists and Elon saved it just slap yourself upside the head and look at all those “J6 Protesters not Insurrectionists” rotting away in the “US Gulag in DC the Nation’s Capital!!!”  Do you not see what is happening and what “those in power” think of you and will do to you when the time is right?

    All are expendable and they are telling you that, SLAVES!

    Also the Nobel Prize is a JOKE now and means NOTHING!  They gave one to the idiot child Greta Thunberg “HOW DARE YOU” who is saving the planet from “Global Climate Catastrophe!!!”  She’s a toy used by the elite (WEF UN WHO PUPPET) and doesn’t know JACK!  If you don’t see how sick and screwed this world system is now then you are beyond hopeless!

37. Sister Joanne-in-Christ Jesus,
    Immediately what comes to my mind here in your generalized Christian Church is the simple fact that the Church as referred to here in too general terms and is so fragmentary and in disarray as to really be in a state of pandemonium! Deceased Jim Jones with his People’s Temple fraud cult church is just one example of how insanely diffused and lost many so called members or Christian churches have and are running afoul of God’s intent as directly handed to Peter from Jesus Christ Himself!

    Matthew 16:17-19 “And Jesus answering said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. 18And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.”

    But from the Calvinist’s to the Martin Luther Reformation movement many are proclaiming to be of the Church and are absolutely running off the rails or actually blaspheming God Almighty, and are not of the Church but are man-made cults!~
    Catholicism is the original church or pre-denominational, which now is in the neighborhood of 45,000 denominations globally and over 2000 separate offshoots here in America alone, with people like Joel Osteen, Mike Murdock, TD Jakes, John Piper, Steven Furtick, Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Bill Johnson, Todd White, Creflo Dollar, Hillsong, Carl Lentz, Brian Houston, Joseph Prince, Chad Veach, Judah Smith, Mike Winger that are all operating cults and not serving Jesus Christ! Say the way Thomas Aquinas, or author of “My Imitation of Christ,” Thomas à Kempis, both of which had their faith deeply rooted in the Catholic Church and did follow their faith religiously as true servants of God Almighty through Jesus Christ within the Catholic Church! And as any number of bona fide saints like saint Lawrence or saint Joan of Arc who were both roasted alive proclaiming their devotion to Jesus Christ; while many false prophets like those mentioned in the preceding list and countless others around the planet are light-years away from this servitude and devotion to Christ Jesus! God wants saints, and these two I mention were absolute examples from God’s will, to demonstrate to all true believers; what it takes to resist Satan and truly follow Jesus Christ!

    Ephesians 5:2-3 “and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God. 3But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed.”

    The long list of false prophets some of which I stated here is enormous and they run totally contrary to Christ’s teachings and actually what the true Catholic Church devoid of any of its corruption within teaches, yes the Devil wants to destroy the Catholic Church and has a leg up, but, as Jesus Himself proclaimed, it will prevail over the “gates of hell itself!”

    How long was People’s Temple around or all the other fly-by-night countless churches; while the Catholic Church still stands in testimony through the millennia from the beginning! No we don’t all need to burn at the stake to prove ourselves, but, many will suffer to hold true to the faith with the actual Church Jesus established with Apostle Peter and thus be slaves of Christ; not serving this world in any way, thusly true “martyrs and saints” who should be venerated as such powerful inspirational examples for our own improvement; not all of these false prophets running around proclaiming, here, look here and follow my brand of church! Some of these are absolutely “wolves in sheep’s clothing!”

    Matthew 7:14-16 “But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it. 15Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?”

    Of course all of this disarray is exactly what Satan wanted from the very beginning of the Church from it’s infancy in the “catacombs of Rome” the father of all lies was plotting and scheming all along, looking to derail God’s Church and His plan for it, that Jesus left Saint Peter the Apostle to establish and build.
    “St. Vincent of Lérins classically expressed it, growth over time in the understanding of religion does not mean mutation or substantial change. Catholicism is a religion of faith and reason, where the one never contradicts the other.” thejosias.com/2018/11/02/vatican-ii-and-crisis-in-the-theology-of-baptism-part-i/

    “The Catholic Church venerates at least 6,000 saints officially recognized as such (some would say over twice that many, depending on how you tabulate them). Each one of these saints is a masterpiece of God’s grace triumphing in the frailty and fracturedness of fallen human nature. Each one is a bright light in the encircling gloom. Each one tells us what the Christian is called to be and can, in fact, become by fidelity to Our Lord Jesus Christ. Each one gives the lie to fatalism, nihilism, and cynicism. And each one is an unanswerable argument for the truth of the Catholic Faith.” onepeterfive.com/seminarian-is-there-any-reason-why-i-should-remain-catholic/

    Amen.

38. Mass of the Ages Episode III Premier

    Jacob Tate

    February 23, 2024

    

    We are excited to announce that the third and final installment of the Latin Mass trilogy Mass of the Ages: Guardians of Tradition will premiere on March 9th at the historic Pickwick Theater in Park Ridge, Illinois, just outside of Chicago.

    

    It will also screen in a few other cities and be available for free on our website and the Mass of the Ages YouTube channel starting March 19th.

    This is the capstone film of a documentary series that is four years in the making and has been viewed by millions, introducing many to the Latin Mass for the first time.

    We traveled all over the world gathering this stunning footage collecting stories in various parts of Africa, France, Italy, the UK, Mexico, and all across the United States.

    Cameron O’Hearn, writer and director, describes Episode III in a sentence:

    After Pope Francis restricts the Traditional Latin Mass a group of mothers set out to walk from Paris to Rome on a mission: deliver thousands of letters begging him to reverse his decision.

    Guardians of Tradition follows these mothers as well as other experts and heroes of the Traditional Catholic Movement to paint a picture of where things stand in the Church as well as the effects of various responses to the ongoing liturgical revolutions.

    You will experience the excellent and stunning cinematography you have come to expect from Mass of the Ages, as well as interviews from Dr. Scott Hahn, Fr. Joseph Fessio, Leah Darrow, Patrick Madrid, His Eminence Cardinal Iñiguez Sandoval, Trent Horn, Martin Mosebach and many more.

    Despite the grim outlook that many have for the Church in the coming years, Cameron is optimistic and shares a hopeful message:

    I firmly believe that the Traditional Latin Mass is the solid foundation of faith for our confused world—a treasure that must be shared. Mass attendance around the world is on the decline, but traditional masses are overflowing. I believe the next generation will see a growth of traditional parishes like never before. That’s why I founded Mass of the Ages; with the mission to introduce the world to the richness of the Traditional Latin Mass through the powerful medium of film.

    The theatrical premiere on March 9th is open to the public, and complimentary tickets are available at latinmass.com/tickets.

    For more information and all other inquiries, please visit latinmass.com/press.

    See you in Chicago!

40. Sister Joanne-in-Christ Jesus!

    I’m sorry, but please bear with me on this as I’m very troubled by what I see and hear in this sick world now and especially when it comes to many professing the Faith in one form or another or just being so tolerant and politically correct that they promote a phony baloney version of what Jesus Christ ministered and died for!  What I see favors the antichrist not God our Maker! You see this sickness in our government, media, entertainment, culture, education and pretty much throughout!  I hate to be morbid but this is one evil place now!~

    The great danger as I see things changing for the worse rapidly is too many people have a nonchalant attitude to faith or our very existence; thus paganism has taken center stage with so many youth, while all groups are being softened up or primed for the arrival of the antichrist who will powerfully deceive the masses of soft headed people around the planet!  That is why I see a true Real McCoy, “Genuine Article Catholic” as a person of “devout true faith in Jesus Christ and God’s plan,” sadly most are of the now watered down protestantized 2^nd Vatican Council altered version which along with all of the other absolutely horrendous fake Christian denominations are empty of the “actual love and faith in God” which is all part of the Devil’s work to see to it that more people than not will accept the imposter who is on the way in short order.  I know that actor Jim Caviezel who was struck by lightning during the filming of the Passion is right when he said that he heard God say “they don’t love me!”

    I can’t think how anyone could have put it any better than the Venerable Bishop Fulton Sheen had not that many years ago!

    “There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.”

    ― Fulton J. Sheen

    Catholic Apologetics Online

    “There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church — which is, of course, quite a different thing. These millions can hardly be blamed for hating Catholics because Catholics “adore statues”; because they “put the Blessed Mother on the same level with God”; because they say “indulgence is a permission to commit sin”; because the Pope “is a Fascist”; because the “Church is the defender of Capitalism.” If the Church taught or believed any one of these things it should be hated, but the fact is that the Church does not believe nor teach any one of them. It follows then that the hatred of the millions is directed against error and not against truth. As a matter of fact, if we Catholics believed all of the untruths and lies which were said against the Church, we probably would hate the Church a thousand times more than they do.”

    “If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hates… Look for the Church that is hated by the world, as Christ was hated by the world. Look for the Church which is accused of being behind the times, as Our Lord was accused of being ignorant and never having learned. Look for the Church which men sneer at as socially inferior, as they sneered at Our Lord because He came from Nazareth. Look for the Church which is accused of having a devil, as Our Lord was accused of being possessed by Beelzebub, the Prince of Devils. Look for the Church which, in seasons of bigotry, men say must be destroyed in the name of God as men crucified Christ and thought they had done a service to God. Look for the Church which the world rejects because it claims it is infallible, as Pilate rejected Christ because He called Himself the Truth. Look for the Church which is rejected by the world as Our Lord was rejected by men”

    “If then, the hatred of the Church is founded on erroneous beliefs, it follows that basic need of the day is instruction. Love depends on knowledge for we cannot aspire nor desire the unknown.”

    “When therefore you, the readers of “Radio Replies” in the twentieth century, wish to know about Christ and about His early Church, and about His mysteries, we ask you to go not only to the written records but to the living Church which began with Christ Himself. That Church or that Mystical Person which has been living all these centuries is the basis of our faith and to us Catholics it speaks this way: “I live with Christ. I saw His Mother and I know her to be a Virgin and the loveliest and purest of all women in heaven or on earth; I saw Christ at Caesarea-Philippi, when, after changing Simon’s name to Rock, He told him he was the rock upon which the Church would be built and that it would endure unto the consummation of the world. I saw Christ hanging on a cross and I saw Him rise from His tomb; I saw Magdalene rush to His feet; I saw the angels clad in white beside the great stone; I was in the Cenacle room when doubting Thomas put fingers into His hands; I was on Olivet when He ascended into heaven and promised to send His Spirit to the apostles to make them the foundation of His new Mystical Body on earth. I was at the stoning of Stephen, saw Saul hold the garments of those who slew him, and later I heard Saul, as Paul, preach Christ and Him crucified; I witnessed the beheading of Peter and Paul in Rome, and with my very eyes saw tens of thousands of martyrs crimson the sands with their blood, rather than deny the faith Peter and Paul had preached unto them; I was living when Boniface was sent to Germany, when Augustine when to England, Cyril and Methodius to the Poles, and Patrick to Ireland; at the beginning of the ninth century I recall seeing Charlemagne crowned as king in matters temporal as Peter’s vicar was recognized as supreme in matters spiritual; in the thirteenth century I saw the great stones cry out in tribute to me, and burst into Gothic Cathedrals; in the shadows of those same walls I saw great Cathedrals of thought arise in the prose of Aquinas and Bonaventure, and in the poetry of Dante; in the sixteenth century I saw my children softened by the spirit of the world leave the Father’s house and reform the faith instead of reforming discipline which would have brought them back again into my embrace; in the last century and at the beginning of this I heard the world say it could not accept me because I was behind the times.”

    Taken from Radio Replies, Vol. 1, p IX, Rumble & Carty, Tan Publishing

    The full dissertation by Fulton Sheen: http://www.radioreplies.info/vol-1-preface.php

    This is the horrifying prophecy of Archbishop Fulton Sheen (1895-1979) about the condition of the Church at the time of the anti-Christ:

    “[Satan] will set up a counterchurch which will be the ape of the [Catholic] Church … It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content.”

    We are living in the days of the Apocalypse, the last days of our era. The two great forces – the Mystical Body of Christ and the Mystical Body of the anti-Christ – are beginning to draw battle lines for the catastrophic contest.

    The False prophet will have a religion without a cross. A religion without a world to come. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit Church.

    Christ’s Church the Catholic Church will be one; and the false Prophet will create the other.

    The False Church will be worldly, ecumenical, and global. It will be a loose federation of churches and religions, forming some type of global association.

    A world parliament of Churches. It will be emptied of all Divine content, it will be the mystical body of the anti-christ. The Mystical Body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot, and he will be the false prophet. Satan will recruit him from our Bishops.

    The Antichrist will not be so called; otherwise he would have no followers. He will not wear red tights, nor vomit sulphur, nor carry a trident nor wave an arrowed tail as Mephistopheles in Faust. This masquerade has helped the Devil convince men that he does not exist. When no man recognizes, the more power he exercises. God has defined Himself as “I am Who am,” and the Devil as “I am who am not.”

    Nowhere in Sacred Scripture do we find warrant for the popular myth of the Devil as a buffoon who is dressed like the first “red.” Rather is he described as an angel fallen from heaven, as “the Prince of this world,” whose business it is to tell us that there is no other world. His logic is simple: if there is no heaven there is no hell; if there is no hell, then there is no sin; if there is no sin, then there is no judge, and if there is no judgment then evil is good and good is evil. But above all these descriptions, Our Lord tells us that he will be so much like Himself that he would deceive even the elect–and certainly no devil ever seen in picture books could deceive even the elect. How will he come in this new age to win followers to his religion?

    The pre-Communist Russian belief is that he will come disguised as the Great Humanitarian; he will talk peace, prosperity and plenty not as means to lead us to God, but as ends in themselves.

    The third temptation in which Satan asked Christ to adore him and all the kingdoms of the world would be His, will become the temptation to have a new religion without a Cross, a liturgy without a world to come, a religion to destroy a religion, or a politics which is a religion–one that renders unto Caesar even the things that are God’s.

    In the midst of all his seeming love for humanity and his glib talk of freedom and equality, he will have one great secret which he will tell to no one: he will not believe in God. Because his religion will be brotherhood without the fatherhood of God, he will deceive even the elect. He will set up a counterchurch which will be the ape of the Church, because he, the Devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the Antichrist that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ …

    But the twentieth century will join the counterchurch because it claims to be infallible when its visible head speaks ex cathedral from Moscow on the subject of economics and politics, and as chief shepherd of world communism.” (Fulton J. Sheen, Communism and the Conscience of the West)

    AMEN.

    All I can say is come on people let’s get real and stop all this wasting time with foolish social media likes and praise or following the “Crooked Ways of the World,”  and start to “awaken” to all of the multitude of signs and evidence being provided to us to not become lost or run amuck, so that we can remain vigilant and strong in our faith in the Lord God, and through Jesus Christ our Savior; who tells us to pay attention, remain sober and be vigilant in order to not be tricked “making certain that we will remain now and forever in God’s good graces;” instead of accepting the polished lies of the Devil that will pull so many into the infernal region and pits of hell.

    “Not everyone that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but, He that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 7:21

    Here is just an excerpt from This poem “To a Waterfowl”

    By William Cullen Bryant It Does speak to what I see as how we can survive through the present turmoil and coming storm! The key is in each of our hearts if we will unlock through Jesus!

    “Thou’rt gone, the abyss of heaven

    Hath swallowed up thy form, yet, on my heart

    Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given,

    And shall not soon depart.

    He, who, from zone to zone,

    Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight,

    In the long way that I must trace alone,

    Will lead my steps aright.”

    William Cullen Bryant

    God Bless.

45. 619,849 views Streamed live on Oct 28, 2023 One of the signs given in the Bible before the Second Coming of Christ is the rise of the Anti-Christ. But who is he? Is he the Pope as many Fundamentalists claim? Is he alive today? Is he the Devil or just somebody possessed? Fr. Chris explains the answers in this talk that comes entirely from Scripture and the teaching of the Church.

47. Sister Joanne in Christ Jesus!

    I’ve come to the conclusion that this world isn’t going to continue on as it’s been doing lately much longer! Simply by the fact of “all the rebelliousness and disarray of our society and culture” let alone the women who with the aid of some very confused or maybe “wicked men” are trying to “rewrite history and even change the Bible,” obviously seen happening before our very eyes with statements like “God is still producing new Scriptures (teachings)” which one crazy female preacher said! There was a definite reason that there were 12 men Apostles and the way men have always been the leaders (head of the family) in ancient as well modern history because God wanted it that way and it stayed as such up till the feminist, communist and woke agendas took center stage to disrupt not help mankind(Destroy)! There can be no doubt as I see it now that Satan is working overtime to bring on Armageddon and drag as many souls into hell with him that he can!

    Deuteronomy 4:2 “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.”

    Revelation 22:18-19 K J V 18 “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”

    And we know from the Scriptures that Satan that serpent in the Garden of Eden went first through Eve in order to trick Adam and cause them to sin or transgress God’s command!

    Genesis 2:15-17 “Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it. 16And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden, 17but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

    Yes a woman was used by the serpent to cause man to sin, violate the command or will of, thus against God Almighty the Father, and we can study any science or practical orderly methodology and find that in this world there is always “a weakest link” and a woman was it in the Garden; and the Devil knew it and used it to his advantage! Most modern thinking women will hate me for saying this, but, so be it, because “ultimately its God’s truth” that matters to me or should anyone that truly believes in Jesus Christ! The Scriptures and prophecies have been recorded, so there isn’t any “evolution of mankind” via new Scriptures, interpretations or revamping going on, but, only “the certain downfall” “APOSTASY” just as Scriptures along with Prophecy tell us will be the case! Amen.
    God bless.

48. If I have challenged you with my abrupt and even harsh rhetoric then good; because we all need to be, all, and as a matter of fact we all need to be chastised and corrected because we are doing wrong, every one of us is screwing up in some way or at some moment!  Sure we are imperfect and human and can make mistakes but much of the wrong people are doing is avoidable and inexcusable and that gets into being evil, which I’ve experienced in my midst and people were evil with political wicked agendas and out to protect their own bottom line of past corruption and continuing nefarious ways.  I’ll say this and leave it to anyone reading all of this, dump all I said and me into your own private garbage pail, but I think we all need a WAKE UP CALL, me INCLUDED!

49. We start with prayer to call upon Jesus Christ who will ask that the Father send us the Comforter who will teach us all things!

    John 14:15-17 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.”

    John 14:26 “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.”

    John 16:7 “But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.”

    Jesus who is seated with the Father can now send the Comforter, because of what He accomplished at Calvary and we belong to Him our Savior; so what He asks of the Father will be granted!

    First God breathed life into the dust of the earth and make man then he while Adam slept removed a rib which he then breathed life into making Eve and this was I think to make them as one so that one could not live or be complete without the other they are cohabitators in all regards of the Eden that God intended them to be!

    “John also wrote that we are to leave alone the sins that lead unto death. Is that physical death or spiritual death? Recently I heard an argument that suggests John meant physical death. There were times in the Christian Testament when death was God’s severest mercy to that person–Ananias and Sapphira are the first and easiest example (Acts 5), but also 1 Corinthians 5:5. We must never go against what God is doing–and here is one of the scariest examples of God at work in ways that will terrify anyone:”

    Interesting point but I have believed death in such a case to be physical also but the “2^nd death” is when the soul is put to death in hell for eternity and that “men should fear God not mankind who can only kill the flesh life while only God Almighty can put both the physical and spiritual life to death by judgment!” So we “wisely fear God and that is the beginning of wisdom” as Isaiah wrote.

    Matthew 10:28 “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”

    We know that old expression of “don’t get so high on your horse!”  Well that is where the human race is now up on their high horses (so much decadence, pleasure seeking and materialism ruling people everywhere) doing what pleases them all the day and night long, not genuinely loving the Father who will judge us all!

    Oh yes we are on a same wavelength Sister Joanne on the timeline of present life as I’ve discussed such matters with my very own sisters and how all of our perspectives when discussing what you explained so well here reflecting back on our past is very in sync, as we are all in that same age bracket as you!  The good thing as I see our generational perspective is that we have experienced some of those older generations firsthand and grew up with some very valuable and precious experiences, either while they were here with us, or vicariously when they would spend time with us talking about way back when they were children how different things were!  Youngest among us often have no clue or visceral connection to any of that and that is so sad as I see it! That is why so many don’t have a clue or are meandering around or even shiftless and dazed in today’s fast and furious changing not for the better world that will gobble them up!  This is the advantage we have coming from the space we were nurtured, fostered or growing up in and sadly most of that is gone already!

    Prior to the fall in the Garden the order that God established for Adam and Eve was simple and straight forward as they “shared in their idyllic harmony and beauty equally” and unfettered but after “the fall” that all changed and there could never again be “an equality” as once was in this realm until God reestablishes such.  As they went  on from that point and to this present time all of mankind is under condemnation and we carry original sin so confrontation or a battle commenced and even between man and woman, which we still see playing out now on steroids with radical feminist ideology and all of the assorted blasphemies such as transgenderism and the “mutilation of children” to suit these “diabolical ends and absurdities” that there are now men and women who are saying men can have babies, which is a “total absolute LIE!”  Thus the “family unit” which God set in motion as part of His plan to even allow for reconciliation is turned on its head contradicting what God commands, and corrupting the paradigm further, so that what we are seeing instead is work of the Devil, that is what we see in this fallen world now, there can be no doubt about it! 

    Women that are radical screaming they can make it what they want it to be just like Joyce Meyer and her ilk. But aside from this troubling situation men and women here in this form, fallen from God’s original plan, are not equals in multiple ways and that should be an academic point to anyone that is rational and being honest. This “rebelliousness has fractured and ruined the family structure” causing “mayhem and confusion with so many dysfunctional people running around more confused and destructive than ever before in human history” creating new massive problems as they go not just for the family paradigm but to society as a whole and thus we see the “WOKE” agenda flourishing which is work of the Devil! 

    God Almighty chose for His purposes to have 12 men apostles and if it was best to have women be equal in this part of His plan then He would have had both men and women as bona fide apostles Peter or John!  Anyone that can’t see the simple truth of God’s will in all of this is as I have to say it plainly, antichrist and anti-God!  Now that is straight into the realm of Lucifer and again “rebellion” which we see throughout the human race now with more “secularism and pagan behavior” than this world has ever seen with so many humans on the planet at one time!  This is becoming a “more chaotic and out of control human race” by the day and that will only lead to destruction and total annihilation which I very clearly see is coming!  Final judgment is coming for all of this transgression against God our Creator, and Revelation states it as such for this reason;

    Revelation 20:11-13 “Then I saw a great white throne and the One seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from His presence, and no place was found for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And there were open books, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books. 13The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead, and each one was judged according to his deeds.”

    Revelation 6

    The Sixth Seal: Terror

    “12And when I saw the Lamb open the sixth seal, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of goat hair, and the whole moon turned blood red, 13and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind. 14The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place. 15Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. 17For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”

    Obviously multitudes of the human beings on this planet don’t believe any of this, because if they did, we would not see any of this “arrogant self-serving blasphemous behavior we see going on throughout” but “rather they would be trembling with fear while they shake in their boots!” And Scripture points out clearly “we should be in fear of judgment” which is coming most assuredly!

    Philippians 2:12 “Therefore beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not when I am near to you only, but now when I am far from you, all the more, with awe and with trembling, do the service of your life.”

    The following form gives added depth to the overall importance of this Scripture.

    Philippians 2:12 Amplified Bible “So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ].”

    Rather than fear of their judgment people are running hog-wild seeking “glitter, glamour and gold” in a world where it’s all about “fame, celebrity and being filthy rich!”

    The main stream media for example cranks up the volume about Taylor and Travis (while cranking out the TV ads for Big Pharma the bearers of all cures modern witchcraft pharmakeia), and how great they are and how in love or how amazing in one way or another these people are; they make me sick, and I say who cares what the heck they are doing or how they feel and how much they have or do with it all; this is all so ridiculous and lustful? There is “nothing in them to admire or want to emulate” they are so far from “humble and being Christ like” that it makes me nearly puke at times, I’m truly nauseated looking at them or hearing them speak!!  People that adore and “hero worship” them make me disgusted with humanity as they slip so easily into “the debauchery of our time” that is so decadent and over the top that it’s beyond just sin and is “absolute abomination!”  If people can’t see how sick this is and how low human beings have gravitated into such darkness, then please God bring on your judgment quickly, this is so disgusting and perverse!

    Instead of people “worshiping and fearing God” they are “loving self and worshiping money” with all of its trappings!

    Joyce Meyer a so called pastor is a “money hungry greedy witch” with an “agenda to get as much as she can as fast as she can” which is not unlike so many wicked politicians, say like Chuck Schumer for example who not only has bilked the public but now “sold them out to Communist China” as he waves a CCP flag during a ceremony actually “praising our staunchest enemy on planet earth which is ruled by Satan” that evil communist empire that exterminates human beings (genocide), God’s children like they are garbage; and they want to destroy us as well!  My friends this world is so sick and evil now I am shocked that most of the human population is not so “sickened and afraid” of what we’re becoming or that they haven’t already “fallen down on their knees and are praying for God’s forgiveness;” they do don’t care about that or anything Holy, they want what they want now!  “Live for today and to hell with tomorrow” is the world’s motto! Too many are going to burn in hell for eternity, perhaps even most and that judgment is coming upon this unruly evil world very quickly now! Sodom and Gomorrah was Child’s-play compared to this “over the top” evil age we are in!

    It’s not a game or a joke so do these fools think God the Creator of all things was joking when He made sure this Truth of His was made known!

    Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

    God bless you and yours!  And we pray that everyone will wake up quickly and turn from evil and seek only God with their hearts fully!

    In Jesus’ name we ask this I hope and pray!

    Amen.

50. Powerful and true message Brother in Christ Jesus Terry! I do think it’s what my Dad always meant when saying to, “keep your nose clean!” All of this funnels into these great words of wisdom which were written by a Christian inspired from God!

    The Serenity Prayer

    God grant me the serenity
    To accept the things I cannot change;
    Courage to change the things I can;
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    Living one day at a time;
    Enjoying one moment at a time;
    Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
    Taking, as He did, this sinful world
    As it is, not as I would have it;
    Trusting that He will make all things right
    If I surrender to His Will;
    So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
    And supremely happy with Him
    Forever and ever in the next.
    Amen.

    We do find the root of this prayer in the Holy Scriptures often and here are two fine examples!

    Philippians 4:6 ESV “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

    2 Corinthians 5:19 ESV “that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.”
    Amen.
    ✝️ 🙏
