“Converging Conversations and Inspiration”

“Call upon Jesus to send the Comforter the Holy Spirit; then many interesting things happen”

What follows are thoughts and ideas as well as answers to prayers, that occurred over the last 24 hours, creating a mosaic of growing, connecting, fulfilling faith.

It just came to me in reading some scripture and looking over the writings of few fellow bloggers; that God was speaking loud and clear to me!  It’s getting more obvious to me as I’m sure you as we grow older that we all come up short changed or even broke if we depend on mere temporary earthly contentment’s or pleasures to fill us; virtually an impossible fool’s errand.  But, with a caveat I say we should always try to make the best of what we have and be eternally grateful just for that, indeed our next breath is a miraculous gift; and then seek Him the Divine and Everlasting to satisfy our every dream and need in His kingdom to come!  I’m sure I’ll see you there as long as I keep trying my best, that’s all He expects of any of us!  Amen.

My mind does like many of yours, I find it wandering and almost fishing or trying to grasp onto truths hidden in the wide array of worldly human distractions!  Look at the television and listen to the commercialization or commerce advertising and even propaganda being blasted out at you and me to fill our heads with more unneeded and unwanted trash!   I think somewhere way in the past long before I was born there was a time when it was easier and simpler to focus on the essential and yes even spiritual but now we all get cluttered in our minds and lives around us with so much hurry and get this done or get here or there and almost becoming non-human and more machine in that we are buzzing away getting nowhere fast at all.  Enlightenment doesn’t come this way, no, no it becomes suppressed and muted which is what you got me to thinking about and more people should awaken to this fact!

Let’s hang in there and try better to still live like we mean it and are part of this jumbled up contrived world the best we can, but set time aside day to day and even moment to moment to recognize that God is everywhere and always has been.  But we need to pay attention to Him through His Holy Spirit being manifested in our lives regardless of how hard we may try to stick our heads in the sand like the proverbial ostrich or bury our inner mind with a flurry of stuff to do, and growing numb minded in the process; we need to remain vigilant and of heart; not closing our minds but by connecting them through the heart to the Holy Spirit and let Him lead the way and keep our attention on what really matters in all we do, so that we really live in the moment and are enriched with more enlightenment and not extinguished or turned off in our  “desire to know Him better and do His will” in the moment to moment fulfillment of the daily process of living on earth.

“When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt, but protects the corrupt from you – you know your nation is doomed.” -Ayn Rand

I’ve experienced the kind of massive global corruption spawned from the “New World Order” which is the Devil’s plan; in my own backyard in a most personal way; when my own representatives moved against me to do severe damage with little or no recourse than to try filing law suits which I did alone.  The system is highly politically rigged and extremely biased, Illuminati, Free Mason’s, devils for whom hell awaits; so even the lawyers won’t touch it, unless of course I were able to heap large amounts of cash on the matter, but that would be no assurance that even the one I hire to help me achieve justice wouldn’t sell out to the highest bidder leaving me in the dust.  I’m sorry to say that if this happened to me in my locale where I was born and raised; I’m sure it’s running rampant or much worse in other locations around the globe.  Greed can be the only reason people would do harm like this to each other and their societies willingly or so wantonly with such impunity!  The Scriptures make it clear that money is the root of all evil.  I would say all of this is a clear sign that the human race has moved away from God much too far now.  Sodom and Gomorrah were full of corruption, heathen sin and transgression from God; and they were destroyed!  I dare say that we now living in this radically fast paced, decadent over the top world of celebrity and serving of self to the point of worshiping self, has brought us all clearly to the precipice of the abyss!   You who have ears and eyes had better hear and see before it’s too late!

What we have here now in this era is plenty of lip-service revolving around political correctness or global climate catastrophe which is deflection or diversion away from all that matters most to any of us, and this is part and parcel to the New World Order Agenda.  This ultimately is playing right into the hands of the coming antichrist and enslavement of the entire human race leading to Armageddon, I’m so sad to say!  People will not wake up and join together to save lives and this world as a human family of God’s in order to ultimately save souls from hell; eternal damnation!  Instead, they would rather have the spoils of victory or earthly treasures now and give up any eternal peace.   This is very evil and out of control, transgression.

All any good heart that abides in Jesus should want over all things on earth is for all people, children of God, to awaken and do His will as we surely should if we love Him and each other!  Peace and brotherly love are of God and Holy!  Amen.

The purest heart that ever existed on this earth the “Blessed Heart of Jesus”  said to us and still does through His word and Holy Spirit far beyond what any man can put into words;  is that we should love Him above all things and each other, “seeking to galvanize others to be of like mind and heart!”  All Glory and Praise to God Almighty!  Amen.

Mark 12:30, Jesus tells us that our first responsibility is to Him, “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” This same theme is reiterated many places in the Bible (Deuteronomy 6:5, 13:3, 30:6; Matthew 22:37; Luke 10:27).

“Putting the Lord first in our lives is the most important decision we could ever make.  A life built around anything else but God, is a life built on shifting sand and vapor.  Too many people today wonder why their lives are filled with so much turmoil and misery. However, these very same people refuse to submit to God and live for Him.  These people build their lives on fantasies and deception; then they wonder how it could all fall to pieces.  It is because their foundation was untrustworthy.  They put their faith in something other than God and that something let them down.  There is no surer foundation for life than a relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ.  It is this relationship that must be first and foremost in the life of the Christian.”(RobertDriskell)whatchistianswanttoknow

I think we all get melancholy or feel a sense of drudgery in our sometimes overly mechanical, “going through the motions” and routines of just living a plain temporary physical life!  Like the old adage of, “getting from point A to point B!”  But, therein lies the crux of the matter or question my dear friends, what is truly our destination?  Is it to merely continue on living like a gerbil on the running wheel or as mice through a maze!  We can choose to seek out the Truth and Light or we can follow into the trap!  So we must first and foremost ask ourselves are we willingly being deceived and led astray by the many temptations and the glitter of the fool’s gold or snares of this world?

Or are we looking deeper into the heart of our simple existence here on earth to see the profound reality that much, much more is going on than meets the eye!  The Holy Scriptures say “Seek” and you will find, (7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-12), and I’ve learned though time and some very painful experiences that at times in my life I got too sure of myself, basically allowing myself to get lost in my own delusions of contemporaneous material fulfillment’s, only to find myself on the other side of that process as being more empty and unfulfilled than when I began on my escapade or journey into “going it alone.”  I know now that until any of us actually awaken to the fact that the Almighty made all this possible to begin with and that we are simply here to fulfill His plan, we can go off in ninety-nine different directions and never find one that brings any lastly or substantive  meaning, purpose and enlightenment; like being on a “fool’s errand” if you will, and therefore in seeking we must seek the “Divine and Unseen” in order to elevate our own petty fractional lives of great need above the fray; and into the light of real understanding.

“The straight and narrow path for those who see the light and the forest for the trees!”

I too recognize He was with me all along but I may have gotten too sure of myself while not staying truly sober or obedient to His word, and then I was damaged severely by the onslaughts of others; who were my enemies seeking to ruin me.  Then I look back and feel some regret that I didn’t prevent all of it myself, but didn’t He know I would fail and even be angry?  Of course He did, and even though it’s hard to swallow one’s own pride and know that the damage is done and it may be too late to fully recover, there was more value in things turning out as they did, finally putting me to the test to see what I would decide to do about it all; to truly grow and change as He knows I needed to preparing me for what’s to come at the end of my journey.  You know the old adage of “get up, brush yourself off and get moving again.”  This life is a proving ground, and we all go through trials and tribulations; to come out of it hopefully in the final analysis as not just test pilots anymore, but as astronauts ready to carry out the whole mission!

What comes to mind in all of this is the Prodigal Son Parable in the book of Luke 15:11-32: 11 And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them. 13 Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.”  Basically this younger son was so foolish and threw caution and reason to the wind wasting all that his father had given to him!  Of course in time he realized what a fool he had been and that his father’s servants were better off, so thinking he should return to his father and admit his error perhaps his father would allow  him to at least be kept as a servant, which would obviously be better than being a vagabond or beggar!  On his journey back to his father, “still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. 22 But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. 23 And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’  And they began to celebrate.”  Obviously this is to illustrate that our Heavenly Father who knows and understands all things holds out for us if we have run amuck or been led astray to awaken from our doing wrong because learning from a mistake and growing in wisdom is achieved if genuinely felt in the heart which to God is a most pleasing thing for any of us to achieve!  Because as we are all fallen and none are worthy or righteous, and therefore to rise above sin or transgression and be sincerely sorry is an act of courage and shows character!  Remember how Jesus at Calvary told the condemned sinner and criminal on His right side as they were being crucified, “I say to you today, you will be in paradise with me!”  A despot heathen criminal who in his final opportunity saw the light and truth and showed genuine sorrow and faith to Jesus, so thusly to our Father in heaven, and that was something Jesus would not deny being rewarded; just as the prodigal son’s father saw in his son true remorse or repentance, and how it was a blessing that he came back into the light and fold or the family!  But, in all of this the older brother who had followed his father’s ways and fallen into line all of his adult life was shaken by all this praise heaped upon the wayward younger brother!  He was asked to join the celebration that ensued.  “But he was angry and refused to go in.  His father came out and entreated him, 29 but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat that I might celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes; you killed the fattened calf for him!’ 31 And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. 32 It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’’  This is such great hope and encouragement for any of us to remember that the gate into heaven is narrow and the road to hell is wide; but, our heavenly Father who knows all things is full of mercy and love for us, so there is always hope even for the lowly criminal or worst sinner if he can see the error of his ways and repent turning his heart over to his Father in heaven!  Our Lord Jesus Christ knows us, and when we stand before Him there will be no fooling Him, but there will also be no denying of His own.  That is a promise He made to us!  We should pray we are so worthy when we see Him!

But, clearly the takeaway in all that I say here is that we are all lost and yet all found, because our Father in heaven knows us all better than anyone can and is always calling out to us watching from afar.  C.S. Lewis went full circle being both a faithful son from the time he was a boy going to church with his beloved mother, whom when she died he couldn’t accept it and rebelled; so he became like a younger prodigal son and went astray while at the same time the older son within him who had known the Father all those years going to church never could, which led him to eventually serve our Father doing so much good for Christendom than he otherwise could have done if not for the hard lesson which restored his faith and motivated him!  This the dichotomy of human life how we are all in a state of perpetual conflict actually stemming from our broken hearts, like C.S. Lewis’s, between doing what is right and what is wrong.  Our conscience should be our guide but isn’t always taking the lead, and that is when we succumb to temptation and sin.  I see how when I was so sure of myself at times in my past perhaps too proud under my earthly father’s wing in a sense, I was that older brother and son, but then the younger prodigal son took over or rose to the occasion gladly to stray or sin when I went off on my own coming and going as I pleased, no longer under the watchful eye and guidance of my earthly father.  Our lives are like the test pilots always being tested until hopefully we are full-fledged astronauts going home on our final mission to God’s heavenly kingdom.  But, when we are at our lowest points on this earthly journey and falling away or going astray is when our Father in heaven reaches out to us the most to come back into the fold and be lost no more; and when we do return, just like the prodigal son, it’s such a beautiful thing that happens for any of us, showing understanding and true love for Him our Father who is in heaven; which isn’t by our being like a controlled robot but by choice out of deep genuine love for Him, a true child of God’s.

They say, we should pull ourselves up by our bootstraps when we are downtrodden, and those are words of wisdom!  Only don’t expect AOC to agree or even get what you’re talking about!   Some people only know illogical speak, or lack God in their hearts as I see it; in my mind!  They are truly the blind leading the blind.  Most important is that Jesus Christ promised that those who have faith in Him and abide in His living word that He will be with us to the end and forever!  He is definitely with us and this is a “short ride;” so I often wonder how I wasted so much time!  I really have to kick myself in the ass for that one; so much more I could have done better!  But, the good news is there is no better time than the present, today, right now; to make the biggest impact!  It’s a collective building power of faith, which can get over any mountain and make the impossible possible!  Amen to that.

Convergent Beam of light Rays:
“when the rays of light coming from different directions meet a point, then such rays constitutes convergent rays.”
Examples:
1. Parallel beam of sunlight are made to incident on a solar cooker consisting of concave mirror so that the rays converge at focus point.
2. The rays received by camera are converging through a lens.
3. The rays entering in our eyes converge on the retina.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus Calls Out to You

“Fear not,
I am the one who helps you.”

Jesus knows and judges us by our hearts.  Therefore; Valentine’s day should be a day for “all to reflect” upon what it is we are investing our hearts into, and that by doing this we are able to allow a positive affirmation or resolution on this special day, to make correction and improvement in what our hearts are drawn to or truly invested in.  “To be right with the Lord our hearts must be right.

We are all fallen and in this extremely imperfect state, so it is virtually impossible for one person to fulfill another enough to give him or her any lasting peace and tranquility.  Romantic love is a failed proposition from the outset, setting one up for disappointment and heartache.

crying eye of God web.jpg

To you who say that Jesus is the answer to all of our needs regarding love.  Whether it’s in regard to family, friends or desired earthly romance, I agree and add that there can only be one ultimate truth in all matters of the heart.   You’re on target with this:  “Jesus Christ is where you will find what you are looking for, by true love and faith in Him.” That’s the only source of true love and peace, but yet we all go through the motions here in our contrived fabricated man-made world of pretending.  There is no panacea and definitely no utopian level of earthly love between two humans.  WE SETTLE!  We all do that, deciding that, it’s better to grab and hold onto someone and hack it out, taking the good, the bad, and the ugly for better or worse, because the alternative of being alone seeming so much worse, and is shuddered by most as an unbearable place to be for the rest of your life.  But, we tend to sellout for this quick fix, in this very short-life,  when the eternal plan should be our total focus  Even though, Jesus promised that He walks with us holding our right hand, and that believing in Him we are never alone, therefore, which is giving us the greatest sense of security obtainable in this brief conflicting life.  After all, we are here to decide which we will choose, to walk with Him to Everlasting Life and Salvation, or to turn away from Him to be mesmerized by this world full of trickery, sin, corruption, lies, hate, misery, pain, suffering and all manner of evils; thus in so doing; forfeiting our Redemption and true everlasting sanctity with God.

13 For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
I am the one who helps you.”
  Isaiah 41

Love is not sex and sex is not love.

Here is something I had to incorporate into this Valentine message from my responding to a preacher’s message.

While I was writing a Valentine message your article came to my attention which is directly related to all of my thoughts about these human earthly celebrations and the earthly false notion of love or its true expression.  What you said about sex wrongly being entwined and mistakenly interpreted as love in the hearts and minds of many; to which I say is a great falsehood that is being perpetuated by pagan commercialization of, a spiritual matter between God, His children and each other, as I see it being manifested in cultures, art, film and just about anywhere money can be made by exploiting people.

This is profoundly true, what you said.  But, I also say this is a symptom and indeed a large portion of the bigger problem we as humans are all facing each and every day we live on this earth, being subjected to the ways of the world which are crooked, fallen from grace and all holiness.  The commercialization and pagan secular promotion of what constitutes a truly loving heart is far from being anything like the love that Jesus spoke about and still does in the Holy Scriptures and through the Holy Spirit.  A Box of Roses and even close intimacies, sexual or otherwise don’t signify the presence of pure love, but are many times mostly vain attempts to convince someone of something intangible in human earthly terms as being real, when in fact it’s all become a game of pretend, fakery, delusion or smoke and mirrors if you will; while big business is making a fortune off the foolhardiness, vulnerabilities and weaknesses of people.  But, it is a symptom and indeed a large portion of the bigger problem we as humans are all facing each and every day we live on this earth, being subjected to “the ways of the world” which are crooked, fallen from grace and all holiness.  In essence a continual brainwashing by the man-made world, a world where opportunity runs rampant for the father of all lies to deceive, captivate and lead astray, to cause the lost sheep of the flock to fall into the clutches of, sin, despair and suffering!

Secularism and materialistic living abound and draw upon most if not all people at some point in their lives like the proverbial moth to the bright artificial light.  It’s  been said,  “all that glitters is not gold;” people being often times weak, vain and petty sink to the lowest common denominator of living in this world for only the here and now which would be to serve self and obtain pleasure, whether it be addiction to drugs and alcohol or sex, along with a host of other temptations to escape reality and turn away from God,  that the Devil uses to ensnare God’s children and draw them away from the “true light of the world,” the Creator, our Father in heaven, and instead to that fool’s gold that which glitters but has no Divine truth or lasting reward and instead brings those that follow it to doom, just like the moth into the heat of the bright light being lured continually closer to the flame that consumes it, eventually bringing it to ruin and death.  But, as children of God created in His image this death is not just of our physical bodies that wreaking with sin or imperfection; but more importantly it’s a spiritual death.

The Holy Scriptures tell us in Matthew 7:

7“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

6“Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy.7 Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.

1“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. 2 For you will be treated as you treat others.The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.

3“And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? 4 How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.”

9“You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? 10 Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! 11 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.”

12“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets”.

21“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.”

24“Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”

28 “When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 for he taught with real authority—quite unlike their teachers of religious law.”

Post Script: 02/15/2020

🙏 ❤ This is what all heart’s desire; to be filled with everlasting peace and love, yet all men are incapable of providing such to anyone, not even one’s self.  Therefore, seek the eternal through God the Creator; who is all absolute love and peace!

“If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.” ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 ❤ 🙏

It’s getting more obvious to me as I’m sure you as we grow older that we all come up short changed or even broke if we depend on mere temporary earthly contentment’s or pleasures to fill us; virtually an impossible fool’s errand.  But, with a caveat I say we should always try to make the best of what we have and be eternally grateful just for that, indeed our next breath is a miraculous gift; and then seek Him the Divine and Everlasting to satisfy our every dream and need in His kingdom to come!  I’m sure I’ll see you there as long as I keep trying my best, that’s all He expects of any of us!  Amen.

 

 

 

“There is Always Hope”

“Extreme star cluster bursts into life” 

Even in the worst isolation or desolation there is always the spark of hope; for He that created all things knows all things and nothing escapes His attention; no, not even you who so forlorn and lost in a sea of vast loneliness with unceasing conflict finding no peace, will once again behold the Glory of He the Alpha and the Omega.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”  Revelation 1:8

hTpN3saANhmU42zSXRJ6PR-650-802.jpg

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.Romans 15:13

“My Imitation of Christ”

“Catholic devotional prayer”

I was quite agitated and even angry with some people that called themselves Born Again who viciously attacked this dear Word Press Blogging friend about her article in which she described her practice of doing the Catholic Rosary, and one of them a man even saying she will be damned to hell, to which I say those individuals are “NO” Christians but a synagogue of Satan, and they will be damned for sure as I know through all my life experience and wisdom gained through it, that they are WRONG!  No so called Christian would do such an attack upon another Christian but they remind me of what the Radical Islamist’s do within their own religion and to others; could it be these attackers, that behave as wolves in sheep’s clothing online are not so Christian as they profess to be?

This article is dedicated to that friend for her devotion to Jesus Christ and indeed perfect plan, which He, God the Father brought to humanity through the Blessed Virgin Mary the Mother of God, Jesus Christ our Savior, through “The Immaculate Conception!”  Keep the faith, and do the Rosary dear Friend; the world needs so many more people like you to save our souls through Jesus Christ, by devotional faith, prayer and advocacy supplication in humility, using all of his instruments to increase devotion and obedience in order to strengthen our faith!.  I say this, that whatever praying you offer up to God the Father through Jesus Christ from your deepest heart He will NEVER reject, no not ever, for eternity!  Amen.

The Imitation of Christ

The Imitation of Christ is a Christian devotional book by Thomas à Kempis, first composed in Latin ca. 1418–1427. It is a handbook for spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement, of which Kempis was a member.

The Imitation of Christ (De Imitatione Christi), first published in 1418 by the German-Dutch monk and scribe, Thomas Hemerken of Kempen, better known as Thomas à Kempis (1380 – 25 July 1471).

“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

A quotation of what a Good Reads follower had said about this magnificent book!  “This book is going to forever be in either of two places in my home; my coffee table or my bedside. Reading this book this morning was like drinking deep of Christ’s love. Thomas a Kempis wrote this devotion in such a way to fan the flame in our soul with beautiful gentle words.”

Imitation of  Christ 2.jpg

Yesterday a true believer and gentleman who had been just as dismayed by this attack upon the Blogger, wrote to me a very important comment that I’m quoting a piece of here in my response to his letter that was so poignant and an actual God Sent, that I know God is working this all out by His will through His faithful.  Amen.

I found your words to be quite strikingly profound and they immediately registered as important to ponder or meditate on which turned out to be accurate.  As the evening went on I grew much more tired and had to retire, but then sleeping only a few hours I woke with a clear sense of mission and decided I needed to see what you had written earlier again; then things started to happen and my thoughts crystallized and these specific words reminded me of something, here when you said, “the devil is defeated and on a short leash, and the only evil that can befall me is that which God has ordained to help conform me to the image of Christ and accomplish His purposes.  I thank God for His Word in which I read that Christ said things such as these would happen.”

I know now my friend that what you say here is pointing out a huge part or Truth of what is and has been going on with everything that happened over the last several years in my own life and even this tragic display by so called Christians on the attack!  These words of yours reminded me of a small pocket book version of “My Imitation of Christ,” which a man I knew from back when I had that government job I mentioned to you previously gave to me not very long before the nefarious inspired major injury calamity happened, and this man had studied in seminary to become a priest, which he ultimately found wasn’t going to be his own personal destination in serving the Lord.  If he had become an ordained priest I would never have met him, which is a fact.  An interesting footnote here is that on the first text page or Foreword at the bottom of the page it says, “Feast of Our Lady March 25 1954.”  But I hadn’t looked at this book in some years and you brought my attention to it by your words and I want to read a short passage from it that is located at the beginning.  This was clearly a message for me to share with my friend and any of you who will see and hear!  “But he who would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ must study to make his whole life conformable to that of Christ.  What doth it avail thee to discourse profoundly of the Trinity if thou be void of humility, and consequently, displeasing to the Trinity?  In truth sublime words not make a man holy and just: but a virtuous life maketh him dear to God.” “Vanity of vanities and all is vanity.” Eccles 1. 2.  “Except to love God and serve Him alone.  This is the highest wisdom, by despising the world to tend to heavenly kingdoms.”

Often remember that proverb: “the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor is the ear filled with hearing.”  Eccles 1. 8.

“Study, therefore, to withdraw thy heart from the love of visible things and to turn thyself to things invisible.” My Imitation of Christ.

I skipped a few sentences but the focus of these words for me is that which you mentioned how our time is short here!   Think of that, we don’t live long really at all here.  And tragedy or an accident could befall anyone at any time and this is over in a flash.  When we are younger sure we tend to not think of such things because we feel brash and full of promise but even then it can be over in a heartbeat.  So, it really is so  vitally imperative that any person hopefully learn that these words I just typed here are ideas that focus on a key directive that has been given to us and again by what you said earlier and now these words clearly tell us, “that serving and loving God” is all that matters my friend.

Many dots are being connected all the time; God gives us all of the dots and we are supposed to connect them.  In so doing we demonstrate our faithful heart desire to follow Him, and that we put Him front and center, saying we are here Lord to Love and Serve You.

Here is when I realized I must share a couple of things with you that are very personal.  I know from reviewing my life from childhood to now, that I was always a good heart and wanting to give love to others, but wanting and needing it is also built in.  As I grew up I had my ups and downs with that; feeling at times really appreciated and loved and yet other times feeling alone, especially when my parents had marital difficulty; reacting as many children do in those situations with a sense of guilt and inferiority.  Life itself damages us and how we react to that is key in whether we move forward growing stronger in spite of the hardships or we decline and give into the easy way out of that pain and perhaps drink or do drugs as an attempt to escape pain and fear or guilt and sorrow, but continuing that way to slip deeper into the despair and the eventual ruin that awaits anyone who will be so lost or foolish.  We who are faithful know the only way that great wound or need can be completely filled, that great unstoppable need; is by God Himself.  This deep human need is why so many of us turn to sin or habitual activities to quell that emptiness and inner conflict, to quench the desire to be embraced and loved unceasingly, because that is what this life is all about, LOVE.  God created all of this and us in particular out of endless LOVE.  God  loved us so much that He gave His only begotten not made Son as the sacrificial “Lamb of God” to take away all sin and suffering out of His pure, eternal, absolute LOVE!  But we mere broken humans can’t bring it to absolute fruition while here on earth and so we either develop a good life the best we can while following Jesus counting on Him to bring us to the things that we need and protect us from those that will harm us along the way; to then deliver us unto everlasting PEACE!  Some people strike a pretty good balance while others are off the rails their entire lives, corrupted, broken and sinful even to the end; then there are those most blessed persons who walk with the saints and are doing God’s will as fully and selflessly as is humanly possible and even beyond by miracles!

I was talking with a relative many years ago who said we should listen to our parents and in his case he said especially his father;  to which I replied we do, then he snapped back at me, “no, no that isn’t what I mean, I mean everything!”  He went on to explain how he had not listened and was rebellious thinking he knew better than his father, saying how it’s not just about what you feel like listening to or accepting, and then not the rest,  it’s all.  I told him I get it now, that the one person you know would never screw you over or steer you wrong his father who had fought in War and been all around knowing so much about life and its meaning a very upright and as righteous a man as they ever come, straight as an arrow kind of man; you had better listen and do it so you don’t learn the hard way, and then it’s too late!  That relative had gone through a life of hell suffering I’m sure like none of us would wish on our worst enemies.  He was in poor health from it all and actually was going to pass away even though we all had no idea at that point it would be so soon, we assumed because he had pulled through so much for so many years, even riding the rails; it was a foregone conclusion he was a bull, and would not be stopped!  He was, and it came sudden; being truly a bull, but being stopped when God said no more, without much time to do much of any value other than to ask God to save His soul which is the most important thing we can ask of God for another and then go through family grief and mourning.   The flip side is he laid down his life for his friends, which Jesus told us is the best thing we can ever do to show true love for each other; sacrifice all for the blessings of others.  His devoted loving mother was the only one that was with him when he died and she had ceaselessly supported him and watched after him in so many ways as he deteriorated as a human, good faithful man and son; a Martyr for God, his life being an instrument of God!  Perhaps I will write a very long story telling all about him sometime if it is God’s will because it would be a tear jerking heart moving and faith inspiring journey to read about.  Just a few days before God took him and he passed, I had a brief conversation with him in which he said to me, “we are here to love and serve God.”

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

For now I’m sharing with you that which never was done until now, with anyone outside of the family tree which is a big family in a sense being both a large immediate kindred, while also a brother of humanity; the eulogy I wrote in a few minutes the morning I was getting ready to head out to his funeral and Catholic Mass beforehand!  After I read it the priest got back to the podium and said; “these words Lawrence read to us were inspired by God.”  He a most wonderful human being before he passed on told me, “with God all things are possible.” Amen.

IN MEMORY OF YOU Our “Brother in Christ”

Life can sometimes seem confusing, and we all lose our way or fall short in some way, shape or form throughout the course of our lifetime.  All of us make mistakes, but have a chance to regain our balance and learn from the experience a valuable lesson of life and then move on. While other unfortunate individuals never get a second chance to get back on the path of their life, continuing to slip into a life of despair.  This ultimately leads to an ever increasing hardship and burden that those individuals must carry for the rest of their lives on earth.  But I believe that there is the Great intelligence and Wisdom beyond this temporary life as mere mortals, that has a plan and knows the reasons why these things must go the way they do.  Perhaps like the tempering of steel, some people must stay in the heat of the flame suffering longer than others, while that person’s inner character and makeup is altered and shaped into a newer and stronger form of what the original once was.  And if a person’s soul suffers the sustained pain of a hard life while others seem to have more advantage and opportunity to be content and happy while here on earth, then consider that those who suffer the most may be earning wings to be a special guardian or pilot for the rest of us.  And in this vein, I do believe our dearly departed brother in Christ earned his wings.

Brother in Christ Jesus,

The Imitation of Christ

The Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis has for five centuries been the most popular spiritual book second only to the Sacred Scriptures of the Bible. The edition that I quote from here is by the “Confraternity of the Precious Blood.”  The book illustrates clearly the basic fundamental principles of the Christian Spiritual Life which brings our attention to the additional point from the whole Truth of how the Precious Blood of Jesus that was  spilled when he was being chastised in the dungeon for our sins so that we all may live; was wiped up by the loving motherly hands from the ground where it was spilled by the mother of Jesus, Mary, thus completing full circle her Blessed connection to the Son she bore immaculately to humanity by God’s absolute power and plan, as she is a special part of His plan “The Immaculate Conception,”  without which the “New and Everlasting Covenant” or “Salvation” could not have been brought into humanity and “her being hallowed” above all the saints in order to carry God into this human life; that made her the “Mother of the Church,” Jesus’s Church by Him becoming a perfect man through her most blessed womb, the only mother who carried in her womb God Almighty, as the man Jesus Christ the Savior and Redeemer, to save our souls from eternal damnation or separation from God and all that is good; how she is in that loop, connected with Him the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in this most special way forever and ever, Amen.

I quote from the book here; “follow Christ Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. As we study its contents we are convinced that without that Way there is no going, without that Truth there is no knowing, without that Life there is no real living.”

“The Letter for the Unborn”

“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12

baby in womb cropped.jpg

Sometimes my comments on other writers blogs can get a bit lengthy as I’m sure most of you already know!  I was commenting this week on one such blog I follow simultaneously while I was writing about the Unborn which seemed fitting since President Trump had announced he was going to appear and speak at the major rally in Washington!  According to the Washington Post; “Trump is slated to become the first sitting American president to speak at the ‘March for Life’ – an annual rally in Washington that draws hundreds of thousands of anti-abortion activists. This despite the frequent criticism leveled at the president complaining that he doesn’t respect religion, despite having appointed two conservative justices to SCOTUS and hundreds more to the federal bench.”

But, then I decided I was going in the same direction in both the commentary for the other blog and with my wanting to post something special for this major annual event and then the light bulb went off that both of these writings of mine to commemorate the wonderful event would be better served if I applied all of my heart felt thoughts, feelings and prayers to both sites after a dream I had last night in which my mother was talking to me and who always supported the Pro-Life advocacy and shortly after waking and talking to a sister on the telephone about this matter who is truly a wonderful Pro-Life Advocate; she clearly inspired me even more to do the blog combo this way so I wrote my blog and felt that my previous commentary on the other blog which is quite a professionally done one and has an enormous following would be better served with this combined blog format today.  Like I said my comments become voluminous and can be a distraction I’m sure of that, but I feel very confident with this situation that this other Pro-Life Advocate will very much appreciate my blog as the dovetailed response to one of her followers; to conclude my other previous lengthy commentary on that blog!

I hope you find something in this inspiring or even helpful and if you could at least pass it along to anyone you know who might appreciate it and that you feel it will do some good for; I will be deeply grateful to you!  Thank you very much!

Bringing up Paul having committed murder or participating in such which is a controversial matter in itself with some faithful as well as theologians; in which some extensive research of the historical records and other evidence contained in Scriptures center on whether this could have occurred after the “Road to Damascus” or before because of the well-known fact that Paul was converted to a full blown Apostle of God through Jesus Christ as prophesied anyway; but regardless had no relevance with the matter of the Pro-Life Blog written by Caralyn, as to any point I had made on the Blog.  It’s quite plain to see that you arrived with an “agenda” which failed miserably with me and I’m sure  with most anyone else who follows Caralyn’s Blog especially in reference to the Right to Life, Pro-Life, Anti-Abortion position, she clearly advocates as do I 100%; as I say I’m quite confident this effort of yours failed; with her as well.

Gods creation docu.jpg

You with your thinly veiled rhetoric espousing mercy and compassion could be seen for what it is and you didn’t pull the wool over my eyes in the least bit.  Again, I say my outlook of “no exceptions’ is meant to indicate that this “Sin of Abortion” is so serious that anyone willfully guilty of committing it places their immortal soul in the gravest of danger of eternal damnation; so that is why it is best or essential from the get goes to consider it as a “no exceptions” situation, say in contrast to times of war where out of absolute necessity people defending themselves and their country by killing the enemy is a horrible requirement in order to not be killed while at the same time “defending maximum numbers of innocent civilians” from aggression and murderous hell-bent enemies!  The two fundamental issues do not equate or have anything to do with one another and “Massacre of the Innocence” is mentioned in Scriptures as an “Abomination to God!”  My recommendation from all of what I said previous to your comment when the matter diverged, was that people need to take complete responsibility for their actions and control themselves not allowing themselves to sin or in particular fornicate with others which opens the door to the major difficulty to begin with, which then sometimes leads to those who are weak or blinded to truth or not living up to their own personal responsibilities to commit even greater sin, Abortion being the worst possible end result!  And, you promote the concept in your rhetoric that people have unlimited chances to sin and do as they please which is so far from the truth it isn’t even funny.  “Actions have Consequences” and some consequences are the “final curtain for a soul being JUDGED by GOD” to not be worthy of entering into “God’s Glorious Kingdom and gain Eternal Salvation.”  This is why anyone who appreciates their own life that God has given them and the lives of others, especially the lives of completely innocent unborn or day of delivery humans, should be shaking in their boots if they are in that dilemma of making a final decision that leads to death of the unborn and very likely losing their immortal soul in the process.

I have a relative in the family tree that was faced with the actual dilemma of being pregnant and told by the priest of her parish that she can’t abort the child even though she was told by all the medical professionals that everything indicated the pregnancy was going to kill her; “if she didn’t get an abortion!”  She suffered and went through such torment but “had not even considered aborting her child no matter what” and “always felt this strongly about the unborn;” so she went to full term and the baby was “still born” becoming a “Saint” as the Priest put it; and she went on to live because there is much more to the story, but it was all God’s will and plan “to test her” as He is the Creator and Judge and had plans for her, just as He does for all of us; but not all listen or have the genuine Faith to carry through to the end whatever it is God requires of each of us!

baby in flag docu.jpg

One thing to remember is “NOBODY FOOLS GOD!”  He is searching all hearts out continually to determine if they belong to Him or to the master of lies and deception the Devil!  That is something all of us should be thinking about every day and you are included in everyone, but there are no unlimited chances or opportunities to play around with God and His will for any of us, and “failing Him is the end consequence” that will have “zero chance of reprieve and 100% certainty of eternal damnation!”

“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12

This was actually the final epitaph for Emily Rose after her real life living hell journey here on earth, but in spite of her suffering she chose to serve God’s will and ultimate plan without hesitation over her own dreams or desires passing her test to serve God and simultaneously do His will, which was ultimately all about saving souls from damnation!

This Scripture is one that every human being that has a smidgen of belief in Jesus Christ should be taking to heart each and every day as they conduct themselves in this world, God’s world, where we are all being tested every moment and that is truth and fact.  To ignore what I say here I certainly believe with others in my deepest heart is a grave error, with the most severe of consequences attached to it!

Amen.

Pope Francis stated “NEVER Try to Convert Unbelievers”

“Words from a Pope or False Prophet”

What follows is my response to a blog today regarding another apparent misdirection of the faithful by the active Pope Francis.  I had to get into a more comprehensive explanation and chronicling of my own experiences that have led me to have my current perspective and belief that comprehensive efforts on many fronts including the Vatican are actively working to discredit the faith and renounce God’s word that Jesus Christ is “the Way, the Truth and the Life.” 

Pope_Francis_answers_questions_aboard_the_papal_plane_Dec_2_2017_Credit_Edward_Pentin_CNA

It appears from Holy Scripture what Francis is saying flies in the face of what the Lord Himself has commanded us to do.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God.” He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

I have a few things to add here!  First I apologize for this extremely long comment but so many people around the globe need to get real.  We are living in a most unprecedented time like no other in history when the digital age and information overload is non-stop, which is good and bad! The good side is that spreading the word of God and the Good news of the Salvation though Jesus Christ has never been so facilitated!  But, the double-edged sword is at work in this, because Satan is using many of the advantages of high speed digital communication to confuse, misinform and outright deceive in earnest as the father of lies having these modern tools at his disposal!  We now see a Pope that is false and I dear say he appears to be supporting the beast which I’ve become aware of over the last several years like many of you!  My mother based on her long life experience and being a parishioner of the RCC had been saying for the last dozen years that Jesus is in a sense being  crucified again by an out of control secular world and culture of death.  Obviously materialism and vain exploits riddle the earthly societies tremendously while so many turn away from seeking God and prefer pleasure, lust and all manner of instant gratification.  This leads to all manner of perversions and abuse which we read about or see on TV or the net news daily.  Is it any wonder hatreds and violence plague our man-made system.  This is to me a spiritual warfare like no other that has increased exponentially over the last 30 to 40 years and especially since 9/11/2001 which to me was a definite demarcation line or event to clearly show that two opposing ideologies or beliefs that have been colliding for well over several hundreds of years are now being set-up for a major showdown which is of course The Battle between Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and the antichrist.

On Christmas 2018 I was interacting that whole week with connections of mine on a social media platform sharing happiness and prayers for peace and salvation when a rabble-rouse agent or troll kept appearing on this one particular post and he increased his insults at our belief in Jesus and indeed upon Jesus with many carefully orchestrated rants that seemed to both promote atheism and then Nation of Islam which ultimately appeared to be the mindset of this derelict hateful minion!  I am a passionate person and yes I can become a bit angry when wicked people offend or attack those I love!  I tried for the days leading up to Christmas to be intellectual each time this individual kept appearing not letting well enough alone and allowing those of us of faith to have a peaceful joyous Christmas to share and celebrate the birth of our Savior!  I will not just pass it off I thought; so I took it as a “direct attack” by evil, which I never experienced on Christmas by anyone my entire life until then!  I know from this event and so many others that were painful challenges in my personal life over the last several years or more that this is pure evil at work in the world and it seeks out anyone of faith to attack viciously with its sole purpose to dishearten or trouble the faithful while completely confusing the weak and lost; it is pure hatred I witnessed not only of Jesus but of all His faithful.  This Pope speaks in contradictions and I never thought that I would say such a thing having been brought up a Catholic and knowing in my heart I truly love Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!  But, I won’t go into all of my reasons except one is that I reached out to this Pope at the Vatican during one of my more if not most troubled periods in my entire life where I was up against powers and principalities; or very corrupted political slaves of the Devil in my locale and I got “Zero Response” back from the Pope when at least some acknowledgement regarding the matter which I explained in great detail in a letter of several pages; would have been appropriate.  Now I realize I should have sent it to Benedict XVI instead, but I was duped like so many to believe we had a new Pope Francis.  Now in light of the most recent betrayals of the Church and its faithful this Pope has sealed his fate in my view as being derelict in the least or possibly diabolical at worst.

Before I show you what I said to that attacker of our Lord on Christmas Day 2018 I ask that you focus on this Scripture which says it all in my heart and mind as to why I felt it important to share this long explanation.

“Turn to me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn;
from my mouth has gone out in righteousness
a word that shall not return:
‘To me every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall swear allegiance
.”   Isaiah 45:22-23

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.”
  Philippians 2:9-11

Victoria, for a couple of days leading up to Christmas and right on Christmas this phony and deceptive guy who was commenting on a post about the two Scandinavian young ladies beheaded kept twisting truth like the Devil to make Jesus nothing more than some guy like Muhammad. His denouncing Jesus and Christianity therefore on Christmas set me off onto my mission, as he would not stop it no matter how many important things I tried to explain to him.  He was a clever deceiver.  He did however stop after this piece I wrote to him on the post!

Tony Aツaz Your own words; “live the way you want and not dictate as you are just a human and not a messenger of GOD, like Jesus and Muhammad were.” “Muslim hoax I am wondering how you equate a “hoax” with facts of an Islamic Empire.”             Wonder NO MORE, Pay Attention and learn of your blaspheming error!  You have a huge inaccuracy that needs to be corrected!  Saying that Jesus is another prophet like Muhammad is blasphemous.  First Jesus was not a mere prophet but was God Himself and therefore the Redeemer and Savior of Mankind as he said.  Muhammad was only a supposed prophet and there is irrefutable evidence in the historical text of the time he lived that points to his being an outright liar and heretic as well as a criminal and child molester along with his being a polygamist!  The following statements are highly accurate and actually proven.

“In 632, only months before he died, Muhammad apparently met for the first time with a Christian community as such.  An official delegation of Christians, probably led by a bishop, came to Mecca from Najran in Yemen.  After engaging the Christians in discussion, the Prophet is said to have realized that Christian teachings are indeed incompatible with Islam, after which the revelation followed that only Islam is acceptable to God as a religion.  The Quran also says very specifically that those who refer to Jesus as God are blasphemers, and that Christians saying that Christ is the son of God is an imitation of Jews, who earlier had said that Ezra is the son of God.  According to the Quran Jesus was only a servant; Jesus the son of Mary was no more than an apostle of God.  Quranic verses dealing with Jesus’ death have been interpreted differently by commentators, but generally they have been taken to mean that Jesus did not die by crucifixion.  For Christians the Quran has thus served as a denial of Jesus’ incarnation and death on the cross and of the reality of the Trinity.” (Oxford University Press)

These two points alone put Islam and the Muslims completely at odds with Jesus Christ and all Christians and are the enemies of such!  Muhammad himself began this conflict and was the spoiler and Heretic directly attacking God’s plan as foretold by all the previous prophets going all the way back to Abraham. Things have been in conflict because of Muhammad ever since and are getting worse, this will not resolve until Islam is Chastised or obliterated as a fake religion started by a false prophet and therefore heretic!  In Summary Muslims are in complete denial of what Jesus Christ said and who He was which makes them Anti-Christ and supportive of the Devil and all that is unholy.  Basically Muhammad started this Blasphemy back in 632 AD and outright declared War on Christendom!  Islam you yourself stated is an EMPIRE which puts it in the category of being a Nation not a Religion!  It is not a religion that is backed up with solid historical evidence and prophecy over time by many prophets other than what Muhammad said; he made it all up, the heretic!  Islam seeks to conquer and must be stopped!  And it will be! God’s avenging angels are going to obliterate Islam and any of its followers, they are minions of Satan!

After this experience on Christmas day 2018 the likes of which I had never experienced any such blatant antichrist in your face attack, during a most important religious observance activity for Christians, tells me that we are in the end times, as Satan is working through all means available at a fever pitch to attack Christianity and it’s faithful; because the time is drawing near for God to return!  Of course I could be off by many years but this is my hunch as there are so many signs and I was attacked by evil several years ago to stop me from being a witness and faithful one for Jesus.  A woman of a consecrated Catholic order told me back then that there was a reason I was suffering for Jesus and it would become apparent at some point in the future why I was being prepared!  Now I see in retrospect that God did want me to do something for Him and it could be just to be doing as I am or maybe something more; like a priest told me recently, “wait and see!”

God Bless You.  Amen.

Philippians+2-11+Every+Tongue+WIll+Confess+Jesus+Christ+Is+Lord+black

“He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him” (John 5:23, 24)

Because we who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior believe in the blessed trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that the Father and Son are one; when we glorify Jesus we are glorifying the Father.  Therefore, the eternal glorification of the Father is through the Son Jesus Christ.  If any people will not willingly give praise and glory to God in this life, they will do it against their own will throughout eternity.  It’s made clear through God’s word to all who seek Truth, Hope and Salvation from a sinful world that in many instances is barely even a distorted reflection of God’s Glory, we must do our best to not be deceived making sure to discern God’s will from that of the worldly beast or even ourselves.

Thanks be to God.  Amen.

Note: Upon my actual completion of this Blog in the very early morning hours today a comment showed up in my email from the author of that parallel blog which I’ve included with my reply below in the comment section in-case you’re interested.  Thank you.

The Devil Gets His Due from the Devil’s Advocates

“absolute power does corrupt absolutely!”  

What’s-Up with the Turncoats Party of Traitors!

Welcome to Socialist Communist America where if you’re rich or a celebrity and yes especially a Politician, and of course even if you’re an Illegal Invader who will vote Dem for life You too can have rights and justice served, if not you’re shit out of luck and you can head to Venezuela for all the Dem party cares!

Anyone that hasn’t noticed what the Dem party has been up to since Trump was elected has either been in a coma or is one of their inner-circle holding hands with the likes of Nancy Pelosi or Adam Schiff.  Talk about corrupted politicians with no standards of ethics, principles, morals, integrity or even having a conscience; these people beat all comers hands down in that kind of down and dirty backstabbing politics!  They are either completely alcoholic and in denial or perhaps even demonically influenced, most likely both; like in the old movie with Al Pacino, “The Devil’s Advocate,” because if you ever saw that movie you know what I mean when I say “the Devil gets his due” with those who screw around with power, and “absolute power does corrupt absolutely!”

Pelosi we are insane

I’ve seen my share in recent years of these nefarious political types right in my homegrown midst; crony corrupted unconscionable criminals that knocked me down and then kicked me in the teeth as they say!  So, I told them all to prepare to face the music that God is preparing for them or to go to hell because for me to forget about it all now; is a bridge too far!”   You stab me in the heart and I will bring God’s wrath upon all the dirty rotten scoundrels!

Evil faces b

FACES OF EVIL RIGHT  IN THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT  POWER

How come I can say this you may ask, because these are prophesied times and they ignored that fact and I didn’t!   I had to go through some harrowing and destructive processes because of them and their agenda that was right in my face!   They weren’t going to adjust their fire or reduce any damage so they carried on with their nefarious plans tearing communities and people like me a new one!  So like the old mob these new style political organized crime families just think they can go on pushing all the right buttons to get their way!  God did allow certain sufferings to be heaped upon me, because when you want to be an instrument of God’s to serve His will and not the world’s; then you must walk through the fire and be tempered like steel into a sword of justice and faith!  The changes are coming and if they wanted to wake up and perhaps make amends then they would have HOPE!  But, as I see it lately they are not going to change until hell freezes over and it’s never going to do that, and I’m not backing down now; they can bank on that determination and God given right!

They may have violated my Civil, Constitutional, Human and God given rights but like dear Dad always told us growing up; there are always consequences for doing the wrong thing to another person!”  I figure these punks never learned that one or they got so drunk with power it went to their little soft heads and their brains turned to mush!

Get ready for CONSEQUENCES!

Pelosi forked tongue demons in mouth speaking with her tongue sized

We see on the horizon already what our fine AG Barr and US Attorney Durham are bringing to the fore; and some big name politicians in Washington and in some homegrown locales are about to get a rude awakening!

Just remember you clowns, you had plenty of opportunity to make amends and I even offered to settle equitably, but no dice huh!

Here is what a connection of mine had to say who has lived in Europe and the US!

“The left is so miserable hate driven by fears of rejection, they derailed themselves into Oblivion. They will be in the history book as unstable, unhinged, liar’s, without a clue of what America is about. It’s not about prejudice , skin color , racism , they have supported , ANTIFA , removal of ICE , cop shootings , sanctuary cities and states , immorality , and the lying media . Accusations about Russia, Ukraine, Iran, and impeachment, and they haven’t been right on anything. The Democratic Party has gone on a campaign to remove law and order. They’ll never tell you the truth, and supported by the repetitive liars of the news.  Stay true to your heritage, love your God, and his only begotten son Jesus Christ.”

“Do You Support the Pope or the Devil?”

my heartfelt desperate plea for his help and intercession on behalf of Jesus Christ here on earth;

“Pope Francis denounces violence against women hours after slapping woman’s hand away”

Women are sources of life . Yet they are continually insulted, beaten, raped, forced to prostitute themselves and to suppress the life they bear in the womb,” the Pontiff told worshipers gathered at St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican on Wednesday.

“Every form of violence inflicted upon a woman is a blasphemy against God, who was born of a woman.”

Pope Francis had been making his way to the Nativity scene in Vatican City on Tuesday, New Year’s Eve. When he began to walk away from the crowd that had gathered to greet him, video shows a woman grabbing his hand and yanking him toward her.

He became visibly upset, slapping the woman’s hand in an attempt to extricate himself. Footage of the altercation also appears to show him shouting at the woman.

Prior to the incident, the woman had made the sign of the cross. She addressed the 83-year-old Pope as she took his hand but it is unclear what she was trying to tell him.

During his New Year address on Wednesday, the Pontiff also spoke about gender equality, telling the congregation that women “should be fully included in decision-making processes.”

“Every step forward for women, is a step forward for humanity as a whole.”

I’ve stated plainly in previous writings that I have grave concerns about our current Pope in the Vatican.

I’ve explained how over the course of a few years my doubts about his integrity and being the Pope especially in light of Pope Benedict XVI having been pushed aside and not having died!  But then too on a very personal level after my writing to him with a matter of extreme importance that was both relating to an evil that has befallen my community in my home State even the local town parish being jaded by this political beastly influence that I had witnessed and been attacked by firsthand suffering greatly for my calling it out for what it is, all of which from my eyes this evil has been both destructive to the environment and the human community like some Mafia Mob assault or World War II Nazis upon the “people and wildlife” both of which this Pope spoke to in no uncertain terms as needing to be protected in  earnest since his being ordained Pope; had ignored a direct plea and letter I had sent to him at the Vatican without even an acknowledgement of my heartfelt desperate plea for his help and intercession on behalf of Jesus Christ here on earth; all to no avail.

Then all of the apparent debacle at the Vatican with his controversial introduction of pagan god idols the Pachamama  into the sanctuary of the Vatican and a ritual performed for mother earth blaspheming God, as a direct violation of the first commandment.   Mind you this idol a pagan symbol of a god which human children were sacrificed to in ancient times!

Pachamama_idol_amazon_synod_Rome_645_406_75-2.jpg

October 28, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – “A Brazilian bishop said that Pope Francis’ Oct. 4 ceremony in the Vatican gardens prior to the opening of the Amazon Synod, where people prostrated themselves before a wooden statue of a naked pregnant woman (Pachamama), constituted a “scandalous, demonic sacrilege.”

“Mother Earth should not be worshiped because everything, even the earth, is under the dominion of Jesus Christ. It is not possible that there are spirits with power equal or superior to Our Lord or of the Virgin Mary,” said Bishop Emeritus José Luis Azcona Hermoso of the Brazilian city of Marajó said in an Oct. 20 homily at the cathedral in the state of Pará.

To the applause of the congregation, the bishop added, nearly shouting: “Pachamama is not and never will be the Virgin Mary. To say that this statue represents the Virgin is a lie. She is not Our Lady of the Amazon because the only Lady of the Amazon is Mary of Nazareth. Let’s not create syncretistic mixtures. All of that is impossible: the Mother of God is the Queen of Heaven and earth.”

“The invocation of the statues before which even some religious bowed at the Vatican (and I won’t mention which congregation they belong) is an invocation of a mythical power, of Mother Earth, from which they ask blessings or make gestures of gratitude. These are scandalous demonic sacrileges, especially for the little ones who are not able to discern,” he added later in the homily.”

“The Spanish-born bishop said that a genuine illumination from the Holy Spirit, which “our dear Pope Francis has mentioned so often,” is required to understand the much-debated synod. “We should distinguish between what comes from Satan or from the human mind, from what is of the Holy Spirit. This discernment is fundamental in order to belong to the Church and even more so to evangelize.”

“A friend exorcist says that this idol (Pachamama) is actually the figure of the antichrist. It is a blasphemy and parody of Mary. Pachamama is pregnant but carries the antichrist to give birth to him in the Masonic church, to destroy the sacraments, which is to return to idolatry and superstition. So, this antichrist who is to give birth to a church with an ‘Amazonian face’ is an abomination, it is a contradiction to Church doctrine, which is the dynamic into which these idolaters want to enter into now.”∎ by Paul Simeon

Then his highly visible appearance and involvement in world politics at the UN forming a new body politically and involving himself and the Church directly in global manmade corrupted politics as we know the UN for years has been biased and corrupted on many levels full of SIN!  For this Pope to be in union with a highly corrupt political body outside of the Church is a blasphemy!  It is antichrist!

Now this Pope at the same time proclaiming that women like Mother Mary should be venerated as special and beautiful bearers of new life from their wombs and how so many women are abused and mistreated he physically becomes abusive and slaps a woman in the crowd St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican while making his way to the Nativity scene in Vatican City on Tuesday, New Year’s Eve, expressing outrage and hostility toward her then later recants saying he lost his cool is just another nail in the coffin of this FAKE Pope who I believe now beyond doubt has given us enough proof that he is not who he is professed to be but in actuality is a liar and counterfeit Pope on a mission from hell. He became visibly upset, slapping the woman’s hand in an attempt to extricate himself. Footage of the altercation also appears to show him shouting at the woman. Prior to the incident, the woman had made the “sign of the cross.” Perhaps this is the “sign or signal” we faithful need?  Time to be ever vigilant and prepare ourselves for what is coming sooner rather than later!

What follows is a portion of the:

HOLY MASS ON THE SOLEMNITY OF MARY, MOTHER OF GOD
53rd WORLD DAY OF PEACE

PAPAL MASS

HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS

Vatican Basilica
Wednesday, 1st January 2020

I hope this focus I direct you to now will be where we all continue to give respect and homage to the great value of our women as I do my own mother and how Jesus Christ did for his earthly mother Mary “Our Blessed Mother;” venerating them and protecting all that is good in them and comes from them because that is what God our Father in Heaven wants us to do, “His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”  Amen

“But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman” (Gal 4:4). Born of woman: Jesus came in this way. He did not appear in the world as an adult but, as the Gospel tells us, he was “conceived in the womb” (Lk 2;21). It was there that he made our humanity his own: day after day, month after month. In the womb of a woman, God and mankind are united, never to be separated again. Even now, in heaven, Jesus lives in the flesh that he took in his mother’s womb. In God, there is our human flesh!

On the first day of the year, we celebrate this nuptial union between God and mankind, inaugurated in the womb of a woman. In God, there will forever be our humanity and Mary will forever be the Mother of God. She is both woman and mother: this is what is essential. From her, a woman, salvation came forth and thus there is no salvation without a woman. In her, God was united to us, and if we want to unite ourselves to him, we must take the same path: through Mary, woman and mother. That is why we begin the year by celebrating Our Lady, the woman who wove the humanity of God. If we want to weave humanity into this our time, we need to start again from the woman.

Born of woman. The rebirth of humanity began from a woman. Women are sources of life. Yet they are continually insulted, beaten, raped, forced to prostitute themselves and to suppress the life they bear in the womb. Every form of violence inflicted upon a woman is a blasphemy against God, who was born of a woman. Humanity’s salvation came forth from the body of a woman: we can understand our degree of humanity by how we treat a woman’s body. How often are women’s bodies sacrificed on the profane altars of advertising, of profiteering, of pornography, exploited like a canvas to be used. Yet women’s bodies must be freed from consumerism; they must be respected and honoured. Theirs is the most noble flesh in the world, for it conceived and brought to light the love that has saved us! In our day, too, motherhood is demeaned, because the only growth that interests us is economic growth. There are mothers who risk difficult journeys desperately seeking to give a better future to the fruit of their womb, yet are deemed redundant by people with full stomachs but hearts empty of love.

Born of woman. The Bible tells us that woman come onto the scene at the height of creation, as a summation of the entire created world. For she holds within herself the very purpose of creation: the generation and safekeeping of life, communion with all things, care for all things. So it is with the Mother of God in today’s Gospel. The text tells us, “But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart” (v. 19). She kept all these things: joy at the birth of Jesus and sadness for the lack of hospitality shown in Bethlehem; the love of Joseph and the amazement of the shepherds; the promise and the uncertainty of the future. She took everything to heart, and in her heart, she put everything in its right place, even hardships and troubles. In her heart, she lovingly set all things in order and entrusted everything to God.

In the Gospel, Mary does this a second time: at the end of the hidden life of Jesus, we are told that “his mother kept all these things in her heart” (v. 51). This repetition makes us realize that “keeping in her heart” was not something nice that Our Lady did from time to time, but something habitual. Women typically take life to heart. Women show us that the meaning of life is not found in making things but in taking things to heart. Only those who see with the heart see things properly, because they know how to “look into” each person: to see a brother apart from his mistakes, a sister apart from her failings, hope amid difficulty. They see God in all persons and things.”

I would love to be wrong about this and if I am I ask that God please forgive me for my error in the name of Jesus Christ but too much has happened that we all are witness to and to me personally for this to be confusion or idiocy on my part!

God Bless All of You in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.

“Fight Back Like a Fire Breathing Dragon; I Will Not be Defeated”

I won’t be defeated by lies or nefarious weak devils, who want to destroy me, no, no, I will turn into a fire breathing dragon

Yes, someone sparked my imagination and I just had to let this out!!!!   Part me, Part what the world did to me!!!

Life can be complicated or simple and usually we get some of both regardless of our disposition!  I used to be called a procrastinator by my Dad but then I could just decide, that’s it I’m going to LA and toss my suit cases and tool boxes into my car trunk and in a few days I was in LA checking out the beaches and then UCLA!  Then right from that I was in the WB Studios or Burbank Studios as well.  As far as knowing more than I say; in my case it was a match I know a lot to be honest but I talk about stuff I know just as much as I think it, which means I’m almost none stop mouth piece built into my brain.  I think I shoulda gone with the suggestion of “Radio DJ Talk Show Host” I got thrown at me a few times or the other was, laugh here; auctioneer!  I do notice a lot too, but did miss a few very important signals a few times and “got burned big time,” so that is a big one to be sharp on!

That people hating how you show them up for how dumb ass they are did happen; or outright jealousy did get in my way but not as much as life did sometimes, so it’s all about rolling with the punches I would say now!  You know; get up, brush yourself off, and get moving on to the next chapter, and just be better prepared next time!

I think the control issue isn’t so bad with me I really prefer to be congenial and kind but just being so sure of myself and what I will or won’t do can make me seem hard or controlling even.  But, I’m good with admitting when I’m wrong and want to try hard to fix things always!

OH, I’ve had fire in me plenty of times, passion or ambition came and went but just like romance and infatuation did too!  Life is like that, because people are fickle and unpredictable if you know what I mean; unless you get a steady as a rock almost saintly one, which is harder to find in the modern day fast paced me, me world!  I know my grand’s and other old-timers would tell me stories about the simple times way back when and it does seem beautiful in many ways that there was way less pressure to prove shit for them back then, but they had more time to grow slowly in their work and family through genuine love and daily, sweat of the brow.  Not this overly competitive trying to get more and do better than the next one asinine worldly BS!

Oh man; so I know about what someone’s lies can do and they did to me, then the truth was all that could set me free, from the pain and headache or heartache the liar can cause!  This is the worst area of your piece here, the lies and backstabbing some rotten people do to another; and I mean life altering horror!  Not quite Edgar Allen Poe, but, A Little House of Horrors, perhaps?

But, when the going is tough the tough get going, and that is my story, I won’t be defeated by lies or nefarious weak devils, who want to destroy me, no, no, I will turn into a fire breathing dragon, if I must; to push back to the edge of the earth if need be!

Ohhhh, this next one about doing it to myself I sure did and in more ways than one!  Yea, and once you do that to yourself I learned it isn’t always easy to undo it to myself.  Most of it was bad shit too, so I think doing that to yourself isn’t all it’s cracked up to being; at all!

Well, I’ll exit stage left here as I know I’m on a rant and if it keeps up you’ll really think I’m crazy if you don’t already!  Ya catch my drift!  CIAO!  Or is it Meow!!!

PS If I didn’t bore you completely and you have a bit of Tiger in you just continue another moment and read my comment below! I decided to not add this additional commentary to the body of the Blog, but to instead separate some this way to leave an option! Which life doesn’t always give to us; or are our options what we decide they are?  Hey, at least I’m giving you one this way upfront!  Fair enough wouldn’t you say!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I Notice How Some People are Going Off the Rails

Seek this enlightenment and life is not a problem but a joy

So many rant or complain about all the things they see wrong with their lives or even life in general!

It’s about what one wants to make of life and whether a person places value on the unseen and the beyond or just this simple material plane of consciousness.  Some people will never be satisfied or find peace of any kind but if they see beyond the singular purpose of passing along DNA and that something much bigger than that is happening, then that person will achieve everlasting peace and joy.

Meanwhile, doing one’s best with what they have to work with and appreciating each moment of this life as a golden opportunity is the answer one needs to get the picture and see things in the right light.  Unfortunately too many people only see mundane drudgery and have no purpose to be alive other than to function as a biological machine that takes in and puts out!  Think of it, how stupid that would be for a high and mighty Creator to plan such a stupid thing as that, the Creator being that dumb makes no sense so therefore we must stand in awe of this miraculous gift and opportunity of a basic life each of us has for now set in motion toward a grandeur destination!  We need only to worry about these simpler things that we can handle and leave the giant and miraculous to the Divine One who has it all under control and we’re not expected or able to do anything more than be thankful each and every minute we live!  Seek this enlightenment and life is not a problem but a joy; if not it does seem pointless and a waste.

Some men and women talk about how bad women have had it and how they were and still are so repressed.

Women are not repressed at all and that is a false statement.  They are quite the contrary, especially these days; but not accepting reality is true repression because it restricts one from just living life as it is and was intended not by you or me or any person but by the Creator.  We are not the makers we are the partakers!  Think and face the awe and mystery by living in reality, face it head on, be strong and not a complaining weakling fool!  Far left thinking is a trap to conquer and destroy minds as well as hearts!

Then a woman comes along and shows just how it is done proving that it is up to the individual to make up their mind and face the truth and reality before them.  Perhaps to finally grow up!  This is what I say to her who is awake and positive.

You are a woman which is an honorable thing and you are wise enough to see reality, accepting the greatness of that fact you move forward into the light and joy of being alive, not backward into despair!  The enemy wants any of us to not see the great value in being what we were intended to be while in this plane of material existence; so you decided to live it to the fullest and work your way through it instead of quitting before you start!  Simple truth and facing reality will bring enlightenment and wisdom; but not facing it brings ruin and despair!  In these parts guys would say, “it is what it is,” which is only a fraction of the truth, because “appreciating what it is” shows enlightenment and broadens the perceptions and happiness of living this life to the fullest, even learning how much joy there is in appreciating the simplest things around us!  Then and only then, it all seems so beautiful and enriched!

God’s Love Blessings and Peace.

Added thought here after a conversation with another connection later in the day:

Absolutely true Ishita, so many bad influences out on the information, pop culture highway!  Not just women but men too have to recognize that many highly publicized or acclaimed persons and their mind-sets or organizations are not interested in helping anyone other than themselves!  The Democrat party in America has done this in spades and morphed into an organized conspiracy of thugs, criminals, despots, freaks, and even evil diabolical plotters, a giant nefarious tyrannical machine influencing or controlling media and politics to maintain the agenda to take over the masses!

Subtle humility and simple truth is easy to recognize and know amongst such rabble-rouse nefarious minions! At least for me as I’ve learned sometimes through hard knocks how to see them for what they are straightaway.  Yes, both women and men beware there are those forces in the world that seek to suck you dry like the proverbial Dracula!
But to your main point, women should embrace their positives and negatives because it is what makes us human and different sexes which ultimately together makes us all stronger complimenting each other not tearing each other apart!  In doing this complimentary approach I believe there actually isn’t so much or any negative anyway, as they are not significant within the give and take or ebb and flow of genuine human interactions!  Peace.
