Biblical Prophecy in the Most Unprecedented Time

for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first

What follows is a living testimony of our Living God working within our lives and allowing those who have ears to listen and who have eyes to see, that they will see and hear all He is telling us as He is preparing to return to a wayward fallen world sooner rather than later.

“Anyone who has an ear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 3:22.

“Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” Isaiah 6:10 ESV.

“But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.” Matthew 13:16.

This all evolved from reading a blog article written by a friend and sister in Christ Jesus. I thank her for the inspiration and love to share her insight and faith with any of us who will listen. Now with all humility and a contrite heart I offer anything I can through my inspiration to help any of you, I ask this in His Holy name of Christ Jesus. Amen.

Yes my friend, no doubt these are the unprecedented times spoken of in the Holy Scriptures. If we consider just the fact that prior to the 1900’s or 20th century the entire human race lived in a low tech agricultural based system to exist or sustain it.

Today we live in the most unprecedented age of high technology and mechanization where mankind has been to the moon and split the atom, a time that has catapulted humanity for better or worse into a world where what would appear to ancient peoples as miracles or even witchcraft if they could now see the things that we can do each day that are common place, like communicate around the planet or transplant a human heart and even know that viruses exist, is evidence of the fact that we are now living in the absolute most unprecedented time ever in human existence. But now we humans take so much for granted and many become prideful or arrogant thinking themselves their own self-serving gods and because of all these extraordinary gifts of enlightenment they work against self and men in that yet they see so much more to desire, such as worldly wealth and power, they become blinded by the light of the “shock and awe” of so much temptation that draws the attention of the eyes, but not the heart; in fact these things delude and drain the heart of a desire to know and love our Creator by so many that submit to them.

Human innocent unborn life has been cheapened to be nothing more than tissue to flush away or dissect and use for profit; indeed all life is treated like some cheap commodity or just another disposable item that can be easily replaced. Perhaps we now have too much distraction from the basic truths that have always been and always will be. But instead many have become wayward children looking to make up their own rules as they go, as they use the convenience of all this technology to live like robots or automatons moving freely through a day to day almost zombie like material secular existence, continually trying to get more of the same or possess things, not the Spirit of God! Thus, “the great apostasy that was foretold in scriptures and by many theologians is upon us” as the churches have been emptying out over the last few decades and many are more content pleasing self, than seeking to please God thereby giving thanks in so doing for all He has bestowed upon His creation which is all based upon eternal divine love. So, can anyone honestly say or deny that all I’ve laid out here doesn’t fit to a “T” what these Holy Scriptures say about the approaching End Time.

“And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. Matthew 24:22 ESV

Isn’t there a ramping up of secularism and the march toward New World Order which will be more about totalitarian control by men and not about God and His majesty and rightful position above all men? But would indeed open the door to the antichrist to rule the earth!

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14 ESV

Are we not living in a time like NO OTHER ever; where the entire planet has seen and can access at their fingertips the Holy Scriptures and sees the living testimony every day via the global media age even if they have no interest in Jesus at all, they bear witness to the proclamation of His being the Lord, Savior and Redeemer of mankind. My sister in Christ is right, “unprecedented” is the word to sharpen our focus upon, especially now when along with all of the moral decay or hatred in the world being shoved in our faces every day! All the while anyone can see and hear that the simple foundational truth of Jesus Christ being God Almighty is as plain as day in a most “unprecedented” rebellious world, now more than it ever was! There is no denying it or denying Him for anyone alive this moment; but still whole nations of people do and many that once built churches to honor and adore their Lord God are being emptied out and used for decadent pleasure purposes in Europe, or the actual physical property is being sold for the profit so some developer can build some condos or perform other such profit making endeavors. We see a world now that has sold out for, “the bottom-line” or “the almighty dollar,” rather than forsake all things for Him and follow Him to everlasting life and peace.

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first…” 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJV).

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Revelation 16:15 (KJV).

“Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.” Romans 7:25 (KJV)

“The scripture couldn’t be more plain, if you want to walk with Christ you must not defile your garments. It is sin that defiles them. We must work out our salvation by depending not on our own works, but on Christ’s completed work on the cross. We do this by coming boldly before the throne of grace as often as we sin to obtain mercy.” oca

11“But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless. 13“Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14“For many are called, but few are chosen.” Matthew 22:11-13 (KJV)

3“So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you. 4‘But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. 5‘He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. 6‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 3:3-6 (KJV)

7“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this:

8‘I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9‘Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you. 10‘Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11‘I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12‘He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. 13‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 3: 7-13

Message to Laodicea

14“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this:

15“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. 16‘So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. 17‘Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, 18 I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. 19‘Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. 20‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. 21‘He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 3:15-22

“Understanding of salvation as an ongoing process of spiritual growth, would say that one can indeed jeopardize one’s salvation, but that it is not realistic to say that one has “lost” something that one has yet to experience or possess in its fullness. We continually endure spiritual warfare, struggling against temptation and sin and evil and the delightful thought of doing our own will, even if it conflicts with the will of our Creator. That is why it is of great comfort to know that, if Our Lord commands us to “forgive seventy times seven,” it is only because He is willing to forgive us at least that many times, provided that we, like the prodigal son, come to our senses, return to our Father, ask Him to accept us back into loving communion with Him, and humbly open ourselves to begin our journey to the salvation which finds its fulfillment in His Kingdom once again” oca

“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:1- 4

“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” Jude 1:21-23 (KJV)

Oh yes, we are in a most unprecedented time in history, and it seems imperative that we should prepare our garments and be ready on a moment’s notice in order to be saved, He is coming and like a thief in the night! God bless all of you who are aware and let’s pray for those who are not. Amen.

I’d like to share this beautiful and kindly effort with you by my fellow blogger and Christian Friend Ali. Her work is highly commendable and noteworthy and I was so inspired by this latest positive message from her that I was truly moved and felt the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ moving in this very troubling time with so many doubts swirling around the planet; but here we have Ali my Christian Sister giving me a shot to my heart of the only medicine that matters, the one true cure for anything that ails any of us and it comes to us direct from God in heaven if we just have an open heart to receive it. Ali is a motivator and she certainly motivated my positive energy that I admit can be dampened or skewed at times by the actual resentment I develop toward some very nasty people running amuck on this planet doing great harm and not caring who they pull down in the process. But let me include here what I had to say to Ali just before I realized I had to take this action.
Dear Ali, thank you for this lovely effort and dedication to serve our Lord Jesus Christ and you’re seeking His guidance to serve! I’m very touched and moved by your heart and work that you do in the community!
No suspension of our belief and faith in Jesus Christ who is always with us and to allow Him to handle what we aren’t required to, but to continue being inspired by Him to encourage and serve those in need where and when we can to also receive God’s love and hope for His children, for He alone is our Savior and Redeemer.
“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 41:13
😊 🙏 ❤

Post Script: A few hours after posting this blog article I received another notification about a very beautiful poem by another blogger friend which brought out the following response from me in just a few minutes which I know was because God’s will is working within us all, if we will just listen to Him in silence. The following script fits I feel, like a dovetail! I didn’t plan any of it; it all fell into place, thank God.

Excellent Robbie! Such encouragement is a powerful force for those who worry and tremble in despair, wanting to hear a voice of assurance from anywhere. Pensively they wait all cloistered in their homes, then while all shut in; they wonder if some good will soon come from within. But, at last a voice like yours breaks through that wall of fear, letting them know its OK to let out a tear; as we can rest assured we are not alone as surely the dawn will bring a reprise, when we all will witness another beautiful sunrise. 🙏🏻
God Bless.
This is such a beautiful photo with the words to match, my Friend.

It's a God thing...

We’re seeing the suspension of a heck of a lot at the moment.

It’s discouraging.

Heartbreaking.

Worrying.

But let’s boldly decide NOT to cancel joy.

Or hope.

Or peace.

And lean into Jesus at this time.

What is he showing you right now?

Below is a video I made today, for the community centre I work at.

I hope it reminds you you’re not alone in this.

Love,

The Truth Behind China’s Ineffective Anti-American Coronavirus Propaganda

I truly hope any and all of my followers and anyone else that happens upon my Blog Page will see this article and pass it along to any and all of your friends and family; it’s truly an outstanding piece of honest journalism that we all need to pay attention to!
I truly hope many more good Americas that need to see the light and awaken to the camouflage and propaganda that’s been carried out to subdue us not help us will see behind the mask of these snakes!

The writing has been on the proverbial wall all along as to the Communist Chinese government’s ambitions and purposes. I believe that the fundamental fact that they are devoid of simple basic Christian principles proves that their hearts are ruled by only material forces and the lust for them which leads ultimately to a lust for more power and control. They are tragically flawed as human beings yet they rule one of the largest nations on the planet and have WMD which I still say the Wuhan Corona Virus was fallout from a research program that went awry. Some facts that point to this being an underlying reason for this pandemic outbreak are surfacing but I knew immediately by just a few of the things that were happening with regard to the false narrative and simple truth that there were victims in Wuhan as far back as November which wasn’t being reported to the media until it was time to use their propaganda to blame others outside of China, namely the US their main adversary. The Wuhan Institute of Virology, Hubei was conducting research on biological weapons grade samples of COVID and actual alterations on the virus were conducted there at the institute, then certain scientists or officials start disappearing!
It’s hard to believe actually how in today’s day and age of readily accessible information at people’s finger tips they get sucked into believing what people like Sanders a Marxist at heart promotes as a good thing. History clearly shows us that Communism in any form is lethal to people’s rights, freedom and lives. Joseph Stalin along with Pol Pot prime examples of Marxist–Leninists, that slaughtered millions of their own respective peoples to gain complete control of the population and force their wills upon their nations under communism. Just because China has put on a good front all these years showing the world they appreciate Western Capitalism doesn’t mean they aren’t monsters with ulterior designs and only playing the game to get us all in a weakened position over time then break the back of our systems to conquer. They have us indebted to them to the nth degree and have bought out enough industries and properties here in the US along with having some prominent American politicians in their hip pockets; to proudly say America is practically in the bag! We are dealing with the sleeping dragon that will be extremely hungry and hostile when it wakes up one day wanting to up the ante! They are not our friends not by a long shot and the Party has no heart, they are ruthless, hard core totalitarian minded despots. Trump has been the spoiler in this God forsaken scenario and I believe it’s because God wanted it this way to give the good people of America a last ditch opportunity to wake up before they step off into the precipice and horror beyond imagination under evil tyrants! Please keep up the good fight and bringing us such high integrity, factual journalism my friend.
God bless you and yours!
Guys the problem is there should be big consequences for these types of hysteria generating behaviors and if caught doing it automatic prison sentences for decades; they are causing unbelievable damage to economies and lives! Where the hell is culpability and JUSTICE in this equation? Just because the Chinese government is a sick evil minion of hell doesn’t mean journalists and other assorted enterprising barracudas should be freewheeling manufacturers of mayhem! Get the responsible agents of this havoc and lock these suckers up! In China that type of behavior gets a guy a bullet to the head! Get moving judicial system; where the hell are you!

PS: A very important additional comment for you to consider from me, which I hope gives you a clear understanding of my motivation in writing at all.

I have to let you know just in case you hadn’t noticed I’m a sort of double edged sword of truth and justice these days and I can be as gentle as a lamb or as ferocious as a tiger, which I had to become in my own hometown locale out of forced necessity leaving me a bit edgy but still totally in control because Jesus Christ was with me every step of the way, and so I’m a living testimony of his loving grace at work in our lives, because to be honest in some eyes or according to even medical standards I should have been dead or incapacitated at least, by now. I write to serve Jesus so He again has led me on days to write one thing or another to reveal Him in my life and others days I get creative and just let her rip! My point of view on this whole COVID-19 or actually Wuhan Corona Virus and political mess is something I speak about in two ways. At times I want to be like many of you and speak softly or be gentle to comfort, console and maybe even appease, but then I have to once again be a warrior for Christ, and that is my job too! I fear nothing in this world and the only power or authority I do fear is God Almighty and I’ve had to tell highly partisan political agents in my area that very same thing because they are wreaking with culpability and terrible cronyism or even corruption, but, I told them to shut me up you need to kill me, and I meant it! Because, that is how sure I am of God’s plan rapidly unfolding around us all and we had all better see the forest for the trees as we are burning daylight faster than lickety-split on a Monday morning! Shalom.

Now, however, the mask–and the gloves–are coming off.

In the last few days, the Chinese Communist Party has changed its propaganda tactics. Party officials, government representatives, and state media are now overtly attacking the U.S., spreading deliberate lies about the COVID-19 outbreak.

This dramatic shift leaves experts pondering: What’s up?

More specifically: Why are Chinese government officials now publicly denying that the coronavirus started in Hubei…

“Steady and True”

“seeking His will”

Steady and true is our course! If our focus is truly upon the Lord, then our destination is a certainty that nothing can change! One day at a time seeking His will we move closer to Him.

“For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, his Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7.

Thank you brothers and sisters in Christ, for your faithful efforts in serving our Lord!

Shalom.

God Does Work in Mysterious Ways

“awakening to God’s truth and will” unfolding in our lives.

GOD IS SO PATIENT WITH HIS PLAN AND WE HIS CHILDREN! I thought how I would think it’s time for this freak show to end and I really felt that way until yesterday, and only because God allowed me to get a leg up on knowing all is not lost and He is totally in control of how this will all end-up and that isn’t my worry at all; but my concern is so very basic and simple. A fellow blogger had responded to my no sugar coating commentary which was her typical gentle way of putting things in perspective, in order to move forward and make some kind of progress. I want to chronicle here with some of my commentary then a few of her ideas along with another Christian’s idea from statements that all came into play when I took a walk with my dog yesterday, Thursday 3/12/2020.

Well here I am with another personal chronicle which ultimately will demonstrate once again that I’ve had some dots connecting around me. Actually there are plenty of them connecting all of the time in all of our lives but most are happening like clockwork as routine as the sun rising and setting each day. But, then there’s the myriad of infinite possibilities unfolding that we can neither truly fathom let alone be aware of at any given moment or even second and portions of one of those, down to the tiniest fraction that one can be divided before we are left with zero sections of pie left in the dish. But, “God in His Mysterious Ways” can and does intercede sometimes in ever so slight and subtle ways, or as blatantly as a bucket of cold ice water in our faces. My initial point though is to make sure not to get anyone agitated wondering what are you going on about this time Lawrence, just in case someone is in a hurry now, as most people usually are, too much so for their own good. So, the last thing I need anyone to do is say I really have too much to do and if you’re going to blah, blah, blah then count me out! Well, all I can say to that is don’t be hasty, and as most of us were told as children “haste makes waste;” so nobody should go rushing off half-cocked to count themselves out before they have all of the preliminary facts when indeed anybody may just be the singularly most important person that should be counted in on this excursion, though it may be a bit zig-zaggy, and I don’t mean go roll another joint so someone can try to escape this torment of giving me their undivided attention for a span of time, hopefully such a person will put those away, lol. God knows many have wasted more time online than they will ever want to admit, while still others have just gotten wasted period; so this isn’t going to “break the bank” by any means!

Now COVID-19 has already become a household term and hopefully not for the worst reason in your case, but if you or anyone you know is unfortunate enough to have it I do pray that it will disappear as quickly as it made its appearance in your life. Outside of that my reason for bringing that up was because about the same time it came into the headlines, so too was all of the usual crazy off the wall politics and typical MSM sensationalizing crap that really gets me fuming and so disgusted with the mess people have made of this world, and then even on top of that many people I can’t bear to think about them let alone look at their sorry pusses on the TV or internet!

But, now I’ll drive my point home regarding my infuriation lately with something you may have already read on my previous blog article the day before yesterday, but I do this not to drive you off or make myself come across like one of those horridly annoying human beings we see way too much in the media repeating themselves with their same old shtick, say for example the putrid Chuck Todd of Meet the Press, and who actually have a lot to do with how our lives may go depending on how they perform the tasks at hand for their puppet masters, and if they have a real conscience with integrity being first and foremost; but as you know that’s a tall order to fill with the likes of the tools or trolls running around calling themselves our betters in politics and media, and many even being charged with the duties of public office!

So, before I speak to the remarkably calming and spiritually refreshing occurrence that happened on Thursday when I was out hiking with my dog, I’ll just use a few excerpts from my previous writing yesterday interlaced with some other commentary to attempt to chronicle the progression of dots and the difficulties leading up to this Epiphany.

Things just seem to go from bad to worse with the human race each passing week; especially if we stay plugged into the MSM, New World Order “media appendage,” or propaganda arm for the ruling class, elite and some of the most wicked despots on the planet, AKA, Killery, Soros, Obozo and even sympathizers for Evil Iran, after the terrorist mastermind Qassem Soleiman was taken out in the “theater of terrorism war planning!” It makes me want to puke when I see the leftist, wicked, perverted minded Dems and MSM catering to such brutal evil monsters and the regimes they are part of namely Iran’s mullahs running that country based on a totally false, fabricated, political ideology masquerading as a religion of Islam, but yet many of these same people in the millions continue to push the “kill the babies agendas” that’s become a cottage industry and has total diabolical roots and purpose here on earth! And yet we hear Pelosi’s rant this week that she and her party of “lost souls” want to save lives from COVID-19, but she has to have more cash to kill babies? The New York Times sewer publication and most MSM acted like they lost their great hero and mentor; a most evil, demented devil of terror when Soleiman was taken out. OK, so you most assuredly get my message how upset I’ve been and at whom generally speaking. Then something happened when I focused more on prayer and seeking insight from our God via the Holy Spirit. I know for me much of my dot connecting happens with walks or hikes, sometimes very long ones, but they are always worth it not just for the obvious reasons but because I’ve had actual revelation come my way. This was the case again on “Thursday’s Hike.” Because when on this hike there came a juncture or “crossroads” if you will, right along the path, where I was to encounter a woman and her granddaughter, a newly born child of God only 9 months of age, and some of what I’m about to tell you was actually some text I wrote to another fellow blogger just previous to the hike and after it, that all tied together with the previous conversation about depressing worldly affairs and so many people going against God these days; being antichrist!

The way the hike time got set and the whole progressive excursion had to unfold, too many dots that had to line up exactly in order for this to have happened and one that I can point out now that was so obvious, was while on the hike with my dog, a hawk suddenly appeared in a tall tree a couple of hundred feet ahead of us and just when I brought my eyes into alignment with it, that bird suddenly flew off in a “particular direction,” and although there were a few directions we could head off into, I had in a fleeting fraction of a moment thought about hiking to a “particular destination” which is in the same direction that the hawk flew, that is along that path; where we could stop to rest, then back track! And so, that was the cue, we did just that and got to our resting spot, and after relaxing for a time headed back. When we got back to the open area this woman was coming toward us pushing a baby stroller from the opposite direction and we were going to run into each other with not a minute to spare one way or the other, because both of us it turns out were going to depart away from our potential encounter ahead or that encounter point; crossroad! That was a God Send and meant to bring focus upon what a fellow Christian blogger had mentioned the night before when I had complained about all the turmoil in the world; on what the most important factors are to keep in mind when in battle, which is what we all are in just like this movie I told her about that I love, the old classic “Heaven Knows Mr. Allison,” because God speaks to him at a “critical juncture” or “convergence” point, while he is with a Catholic Nun marooned on a Japanese occupied island in the Pacific during WWII; which ultimately leads to this Marine, a good heartened soul of a man saving many troops lives, and I told her that she and her husband will see what I mean and love it when they watch that movie, which also has a lot to do with today’s message.

These are literal examples of God at work in our midst helping us along where need be or when it really is very important or vital to accomplish His will, especially in helping others who we can by being His instruments, because in the final analysis His will is going to be done, no two ways about it, not anything or anybody else’s, that is what this Christian blogger, a Catholic, helped me to focus on with her telling me how to try focusing on prayer and doing good, even in the midst of so much turmoil; and by the way, that is what the Marine does in battle, the real deal; but I sometimes tend to react too emotionally. What she was saying is like what my dad always told me to do in a tough situation, “remain cool, calm and collected!” Now here I should mention that for this other blogger and myself to be having conversation about some serious challenges that came our way in life which took a lot of faith and prayer to overcome, this too was part of the hike journey leading to a truer “awakening to God’s truth and will” unfolding in our lives. As I had tried to explain my dilemma to her why I was so distraught but, Scripture does tell us plainly that in “End Times” this world will be that bad, so bad in fact that it won’t seem like there is any relief! Now that’s a big problem to tackle for all of mankind, if only “all the corrupt politicians would GO AWAY,” I figure! If we aren’t in “End Times” yet, we sure as hell are close! Of course I must temper this train of thought with the reality of how much, much worse so many people are having it than me, how there are those who suffer incomprehensible pain or sorrow; so that is the reality check needed to put it all in proper perspective. I must thank God for all of the abundance of gifts He gives to me each moment of every day! Be humble is the key.

Already out of all this conversation and hiking on these paths I see how we are gifted even in spite of any unhappy events that had hurt my fellow blogger in her past that she mentioned, just like some similar things happened to me I can see this as a good metaphor, the “Flight of the Phoenix” rising up out of the ashes, as in the sense of being very down trodden and in an injured vulnerable position, to be seeing nothing but defeat and loss; but look what happened by the miraculous loving power of our Lord Jesus Christ! He reached into her heart through her faith and healed it, blessing her with strength of character and intuitive insights that she would never have achieved otherwise! Same with me in a way; as over the last 15 years I could say evil and nefarious deeds were directed at me to punish and torment my heart and take away the joy and happy go lucky kid that was always there but now though I felt sorry for myself at moments or angry and disappointed, I never allowed that to overwhelm me because of “my faith in Jesus” that my parents and grandparents instilled in me; and of course God when He planned me in His infinite wisdom, “The Master Potter,” designed me to be who He needed me to be so I could grow to be who I am now, in spite of those destructive attacks upon my life and heart, and to ultimately do His will serving Him alone, in order to help fulfill His plan! I too like my blogger friend sister in Christ wouldn’t go back if I could and get an easier path to avoid the hardships and pain because I know now, and Jesus of course does, that I’m better off because of my not giving up or trying to fight fire with fire!

Discernment she had mentioned to me in her comment is so vital, and that is the key, I had to carefully learn my hard lessons and discern as I could with Jesus leading the way, but learning how to do it so much better than ever before, to be receptive and listen to Him closely from my inner most heart! My mom to me has always been a beautiful woman and not perfect by any means but not a disaster like some friends I had growing up whose parents with serious alcohol or other disruptive, painful problems added to their burden of daily life. As a kid I noticed my Mom was emotional and that took me time to learn how to understand her more as I grew up, but she had some difficulties growing up even like my friend did, and having many children is a hard thing to go through, but she was always attentive and loving to all of her children like a true Mother in my eyes, like the “Blessed Mother!” My grandmothers along with my mom all used to tell me growing up, “when the kids get all messed up or in trouble out in public, they blame the mother, because it’s her task to teach them and guide them properly in all matters of behavior and civility, to have a conscience and proper respectful attitude; and of course always loving Jesus!” Such good women I’ve had, OMG I want to cry thinking of them all, really fine women even like my friend! “The best of the best!” I know this is so true about Jesus, “He is always holding our right hand!”

But because, I had been so stirred up by the world events and even my own personal difficulties caused by other people; I needed to regain the proper perspective and focus! God is so good in doing that for us just perfectly, if we will allow Him totally into our hearts to speak to us and lead us to paths of righteousness. This verse came to mind after the encounter with the woman with her granddaughter, and upon reading a comment from my blogger friend.

^“19Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.” Romans 12:19 NKJV

As I mentioned this other blogger and I having conversation prior to and after I met the woman and baby, I had some of the following to say to her and I attempt here to elaborate or add to what was said so I’m including partly what was in the conversation and what I’m seeing in all of this now.

But, returning to the encounter as I looked ahead and saw this woman with a baby stroller heading right toward us in a completely open and almost desolate area, in this part of a community, wide open spaces with several paths or roads to take, that I’ve often traveled through heading to my home, but this time I felt a definite certainty and purpose unfolding by just allowing those words we sometimes hear Christians saying; “Let go and let God,” actually was taking place as this was not by chance but only by God’s directing it for His ultimate purpose and of course to help us! I have to ask are we willing servants and warriors ready to follow His will?

We know from my previous writings that on these long walks, with Jesus, at times some important dots get connected, don’t we! I was thinking about your last comment and my lengthy reply and about the idea my father would stress to me about putting things in perspective. On the walk today I came to this very wide open space area as I was making the loop back home when out in this area a lady with a stroller was heading right toward me and my dog. We were virtually the only people around and the day being very comfy we slowed a moment to engage in a nice how do you do interlude. The baby was her granddaughter of 9 months and this baby was so beautiful and bright eyed it was astounding to me! It was so captivating to look into the babies most beautiful innocent eyes, truly into the soul of an innocent baby!

This baby wouldn’t take her eyes off of me as we spoke there for a while, and it turned out the lady grew up in the same neck of the woods as me and my siblings. It also turns out that we had some family dots connecting as her father and grandfather had been in law enforcement and my father knew many of these same folks with some very close ties to them in his growing up and through business relations. I still couldn’t get over how this baby kept staring at me so innocent and sweet with eyes from heaven and I almost want to cry now thinking how precious that child from God is; and this dawned on me, how like you said it’s what we focus our attention on that will matter from here on out to whatever comes, that’s all in God’s hands, but to that I say, these precious babies are in ours now and that is our first priority! Boy, do I love little babies, even my mom used to say so when I was a teen and would give a bottle of milk to my youngest sibling or baby cousins, and they loved me too, it was easy to tell as I would make them laugh and smile so much when I would clown around making silly faces and different voices or tickle them on the cheek or chin, “COOCHIE, COOCHIE COO!” We talked about the bad scene in politics me and this woman, not the baby, she kept trying to figure me out I guess; and how so many things are out of whack, and this nice lady agreed how the media is so warped or biased; as I say “running the evil agenda.” But, phooey on that, we need to use our noggins to put the pieces of the puzzle together and get the best picture we can then get to work doing what we can that’s helping those babies and all the innocent beautiful things that are still in abundance all around us and be receptive that way to do God’s will, that’s the ticket! I know that after my mentioning this meeting to you in another comment you said you had a granddaughter who when a newborn of just one day looked into your eyes and seemed like she was saying hi to you, even making a sound, and this I see is similar to how it was when the baby I met looked at me, how she was talking to me through her eyes and her soul was connecting to mine, being so innocent and a new soul God put in this world!

This whole message of yours is turning out to be a kind of spiritual “manna from heaven” to me, because again I see how God’s Holy Spirit is literally handing us knowledge and insight! “I thought she was trying to say: “Hi’ to me 🤗. She is 22 now, and training to be a nurse.” That was what you told me. This makes me want to cry because now that you said this I must say that little baby today looking at my face so peaceful, calm and in a state of grace as she stared into my eyes, she was talking to me silently and the Holy Spirit was there between us making that possible to convey something beyond what I could see with my eyes, and to say that you will know what the reason is for a given thing happening even if it’s when you leave this life and go with God when all will be revealed. 👼 The Holy Spirit was there between us making that possible to convey something beyond what I could see with my eyes for sure, and the baby is so fresh and new from God who knew that child of His before it was in the womb as he made that baby the unique soul that it is, and it was meant to meet me there that day so we could make the connection, that was God’s will at work, and what it all means I can speculate in essence like you have extolled here about your first encounter with your granddaughter and she wanting to speak to you which led to her becoming an “angel of mercy” now all these years later! I just recalled how my mother told me many times when I was a new born and before I could walk or talk as a baby, “I was so quiet and had an air about me as I too stared at others intently.” But, also like my father would tell me, “what was meant to be was meant to be and you may not know the reason why something happened now or even in your lifetime on this earth, but rest assured there is a reason and God will reveal it and you will know what it is when you should.” He went on to say that, “you will know what the reason is for a given thing happening even if it’s when you leave this life and go with God when all will be revealed.”

You had asked me what is a favorite scripture of mine just the previous evening to which I replied I have many favorites, but I’ll be thinking about this. Now after this encounter with this nice woman and her grandchild this is what I’m thinking God wanted me to say right now, as it came immediately to my mind when I picture the baby I met today with her nice grandmother. And, I know this is what God wants me to say because as you were aware I was troubled by some of these global events happening currently to the point of not sleeping well and the effect has been noticeable in my speech and thinking the last couple of days as I also see my enemies local and otherwise are still hating me and looking to hurt me further as they are influenced by evil without a doubt, but this is the TRUTH God says to focus on NOW!

^“2Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ^[^a^]ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.” Psalm 8:2 New King James Version (NKJV)

I will say this my sister in Christ Jesus, I sense that God wanted that baby to encounter this man and hear him speaking while looking into his eyes to “witness for God like an angel,” and the same for me to see the awe and absolute beauty I beheld in that “most precious little innocent baby girl like a cherub from heaven” to be in that state now for a time, then as she grows up to carry that essence of God’s Holy Spirit working among us, because her work might very well be such a saving grace to others in the future perhaps like your granddaughter being “an angel of mercy” helping the needy and sick or infirm! Something special was happening in that encounter today beyond my understanding it fully, that God directed; and something will materialism from it in the future!

And if this don’t beat all, yesterday you asked me if I had a favorite Scriptural verse and I had a flash of verse come to my mind which I believe was the appropriate one for me to say at that point, but said I would think about this idea further as well. Then this morning I received a notification that a fellow blogger had just posted a verse which I say speaks directly to what you’ve been offering as your personal insight to my own sadness and anger about what I see happening on a global level with mankind. Now I must share this verse here and thank you again for the connecting of such important dots in our daily lives! 😊 🙏 🙏

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 NASB

I add here one other that is at the top of my all-time favorite verses which my mother had a lot to do with it being so if not making sure it was my favorite!

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

I’m sure I should mention Psalm 23 makes me cry, it is so deep into my soul when I think of those words from God letting us know that nothing should be feared if we truly walk with the Lord our God in the Holy name of Jesus! Amen.

Psalm 23

¹The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
²    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
³    he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
⁴Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,^[a]
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

⁵You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
⁶Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

Like you my sister in Christ Jesus, I too am in continued unrelenting amazement as I read your words and actually began crying as I felt God’s presence and glory touching within my heart and soul, saying again just as in the walk and other times lately, “I Am here!” I just absorbed those three words this second after typing them and felt the tears welling up so powerfully, these are never tears of sadness, but tears of joy and peace, knowing our Lord loves us, and He isn’t looking beyond us or ever going to forget us, “WE BELONG TO HIM!” It is we children of God who lose sight and go astray from all that it is we need, and could ever dream of, like wanton foolish or even truly rebellious children, that allow themselves to become confused when the “WHOLE TRUTH” is right before them, as they only need to, “ask and the door will be opened,” He is always waiting on the other side for us to enter into our personal relationship knowing and loving Him by just opening our hearts to Him, so we may join Him in our inheritance, to be members of His glorious everlasting loving family, to be as one and loving each other beyond measure or words; for eternity!

God Himself has shown us so much in the last 24 to 36 hours that I see clearly that I should form a compilation of what transpired in order to serve Him in this acknowledgement not for me alone but for so many others who need to come back into the fold, to not be lost or scattered as we see happening all around in the world, that was what was so troubling to me lately and God said, He is on it, and wants me and others to be a part of the solution here on earth; while our work for Him isn’t completed yet.

Thank you Lord again so much for helping to open our inner sight to the TRUTH!

All Glory is Yours Jesus Christ our Lord, Savior and Redeemer.

Steady and true is our course! If our focus is truly upon the Lord, then our destination is a certainty that nothing can change! One day at a time seeking His will we move closer to Him. “For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, his Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7. Thank you brothers and sisters in Christ, for your faithful efforts in serving our Lord! 🙏

“Heads or Tails You Pick”

“The truth shall set you free”

Why is it that so many people are willing to accept more lies on top of lies? Are they that deluded and brainwashed or more likely they just don’t give a damn anymore and would rather be part of the problem instead of being a part of the cure? Are many waiting to watch the whole mess go up in a cloud of smoke and get it over with? To end their own miserable excuses for lives with everyone else’s in one big mass suicide, say like the inexplicable mass beaching’s of whales that have occurred in some parts of the world at a too frequent pace. Do these people feel like the lost for which there is no lost and found department listed anywhere that they’re aware of so are filled with hopelessness or perhaps they have never witnessed a true deliverance? Has this become so much a secular, “make it up as you go now world” with crazy people running for the highest elected office in the land for the most powerful nation on earth; the likes of a Joe Biden the greasiest, lying, epitome of a crooked career politician as you could find anywhere on the planet!

Or others like the equally crazy Leftist Liz Warren who will say anything to get elected, that is anything but the truth, and as long as its left wing commie pinko socialist trash, or maybe the Marxist had his honeymoon in Communist Russia because he hated what American capitalism is since his college days, and still rather than stay there he wanted to be here to get elected into office so he could pull in over a million dollars in 2018 and in line with what he said is wrong with capitalists he gave away only 10,000 bucks; I guess he likes it both ways, to tell all of us to be good little wannabe commies while we vote for him year after year and let him rake in the doe!

Then there’s the Mini Mik Bloomberg with the giant alter ego who despises most women and treated them like his own little minions in the workplace telling them to get rid of the baby when pregnant so they won’t miss work and he would have to pay maternity leave the cheap SOB; while he through being a total money grubbing capitalistic pig went on to grab all the billions he could; then he decides that isn’t good enough he wants to be King now, to match his huge ego so he’ll just buy the Presidency! Looks like the money sure went to his crazy head! You just can’t make this stuff up! It’s so surreal and outlandish if it doesn’t make your head spin you’re either totally stoned and out to lunch or you’re working as one of his “campaign propaganda machine” staff!

The old adage of money talks and bullshit walks applies these days and too many ultra-rich persons are trying to grab all of the marbles they can! Look at the Clinton’s with their foundation and “pay to play” scam that Killery had going while SOS or the Obama’s raking up hundreds of millions in assets while Obozo was the President starting out with about a net worth of around 1 Mil, and breaking all kinds of laws to accomplish it. I guess He cared so much about you and I along with this Great Nation of ours that he figured it was much better to SERVE himself first than think about doing anything of any substantive value for America; he decided he too better get his while he can.

Is it any wonder now that we live in an extremely selfish culture that off the wall mumbo jumbo mantras are flourishing over traditional faith here in America that centered on Christian values and beliefs from its birth that this Nation under God was founded upon, to be replaced with Mysticism, New Age, Designer religions all of which are not of God but are about self over God, which is derived from the Devil to lead astray souls from Divine Providence and instead into Hell. Many people have turned away from God and glorified self and getting something for nothing as a way of thinking, let alone a way of life!

I see how people like George Soros as well as many others of like-mind, say for example the Clinton’s or Obama’s leaning hard left politically which is the Democrat party for sure now, as being a problem coupled with pure corruption and evil as I see it, but not just worldly; in essence this is a spiritual battle as well as many of the guilty with so many sins are now deeply entrenched in their camp, so there is no turning back even though they head toward the literal precipice of hell! Kind of “too little too late,” which now if they were to give some lip service that they will reform, which in many of their cases would be to take ownership of their crimes and spend the rest of their lives in prison! They have in my view placed the nooses around their own necks and Holy Scriptures speak to these situations that were to come as many would gladly march into hell than to admit fault and culpability, even upon the Second Coming of Jesus! We all know in our own lives when we did something wrong how later we felt guilty and ashamed; can we imagine a person doing that and each time going further and further out on the limb adding more sin and wrong until so burdened down with so much guilt and shame that it becomes humanly impossible to own up to such a disastrous wicked life, to come back off the insecure limb, so they instead wait for the coming catastrophe, preferring to stay out on that limb that is about to snap, than to come back into conformity and face the music. This too is why the Holy Scriptures point out clearly there are those among us who are the “accursed and damned.” This is why we should work incessantly to stay out of the snares of the Devil to avoid our being caught up in such a horrendous grip by evil. The world is beautiful but there is always the dark and sinister underbelly of corruption that any of us can fall victim to if we are not vigilant. I know what I say, because I have sinned and felt the allure of temptation and further sin that could take control of me, just like using a drug such as heroin that takes over a person’s will, and makes an addict out of many a good person.

Yes that’s it succinctly and that is what evil is seeking to do, using the greatest of nations to poison the entire earthly spring or well as it were, in order to ruin all of humanity! The “evil one” is on a rampage to destroy all. Whereas in the past these great nations had given much good a foothold in many regions of the planet fostering actual goodness and compassion, but now that will all be stripped away if this “Far Left” evil agenda is allowed to exponentially increase, which it will if not suppressed; because we can’t utterly eliminate it all outright, this is not Paradise, but we must resist it and push it back into its dark corners of the world. We who see this truth as peoples of any nations can work together toward this common goal; to preserve all that is good in humanity while we uphold peace!

Here is what I had to say to a fellow blogger during a discussion about how the failing of the church should not outweigh all the countless blessings it has brought to humanity.

I too see how one must look at the abundance of good which is the true measure of the value and integrity of the church, for indeed now thousands of years since its inception; and to radically denounce the beauty and heart of the Mother church is not only a foolish thing for some to do but is sinful because Jesus Christ our Lord Himself according to my faith based on the Holy Scriptures, instructed Apostle Peter to build His church, and that is what we all should be doing as faithful servants of God, is continuing that legacy and edict from God Himself as an ongoing building, not tearing down! The human race is full of sin and shame, but do we make matters worse and attack all that is good about the human race because the evil one has his way with many people who commit horrendous evil upon innocence and all that is good daily? That would be like saying everyone should have thrown in the towel when people like Hitler did the great evil he did, because this is such a bad world so why bother. Unfortunately great suffering is a part of this life here and Jesus did instruct us to take up our own crosses, and doing it in our commitment of serving Him is a great thing each of us can offer up to our heavenly Father through the body and blood of Christ Jesus, who suffered and died so we might live. It’s all worked out; and we are doing our best by hanging in there as we try doing the best we can to serve and honor Him our Lord and Savior!

For years I have thought how all people are fallible and sinners so why would priests be completely immune from sin or hurting innocent children if given the opportunity and they weren’t strong enough to overcome such demons within. It’s both sad and sick to me how this sort of behavior is rampant not only in the Catholic Church which does get a lot of attention over this by MSM, another thing I think Satan promotes totally to knock the legs out from under one of the largest Christian established churches to harm Christianity overall with these crimes but they also do occur just about anywhere disturbed and even evil adults had or have supervisory controlling influence over young people, these things can happen; just like the athletic organizations or even the Boy Scouts of America! I agree it’s very good that a cleansing and purging within the Catholic Church and elsewhere is occurring and I’m one for trying to repair or mend all this dysfunction to make for a much better worship experience for all concerned and by no means be radical and “toss the baby out with the bath water,” which I know some extended family and friends were talking like when this subject would come up over the last 15 to 20 years. They would say to heck with the church and I won’t go anymore; which is just what Satan wants and is cheering on totally! People forget that part of the equation that sin is inevitable in us humans but our worship and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ should never be compromised or discounted so easily. I’m very sad when I think of all the pain and suffering that has transpired over many years but I’m still hopeful that the truly faithful and devout will help the Church and most if not all the injured heal, so we can show our Lord we are trying much harder to repair and build bridges rather than abandon.

Let’s remember that many in the world of humanity betrayed even Jesus Christ! He told us in so many of the Scriptures that if they will do that to him should we expect they will do less to us who will follow Him? Of course as we know, He the Master they betrayed; and me a lowly incompetent by comparison a mere fool and only a servant of the Master they will destroy if given the opportunity! Why did it take me so long to be as wise as my dad and not be more careful with people when he had told me to mind my business and keep my nose clean or in other words be hip to the traps and tricks that people use all of the time to cause hardship for those that will let them? Now at this point, I am a bit wiser, and see how way too much bad has taken a grip upon the world, and as I get older I figure its go for broke time for me; just to live is not enough, and so I will make my voice be heard or do some little piece of good wherever and whenever I can and not lie down to this evil sweeping the globe. Of course those with others to be more concerned about must be much more restricted or guarded because family comes first, and that is the priority in most instances. But, God will use all of His instruments when and how He chooses according to His plan; and thanks be to God for that!

I’m interested in sharing truth outside of occasional entertaining essay. “The truth shall set you free” as the Bible tells us and that has always been true and is needed now more than ever with such a frenzy and instability of thought circulating around the world.

We pray and do what we can to be positive and effective in the face of abhorrent evil that is spreading its tentacles wherever it can to cause great pain and suffering. These are most trying of times because the whole human race is on the verge with these major instabilities of corrupt and even insane leadership here in the US and around the globe. We have our swamp that our current Real President is attempting to remedy.

Appeasing or capitulations are not helping matters but giving license to all manner of lawlessness and transgression from God let alone human societies. Sanity and goodness are being dismissed as so much trash while insanity and sin are their replacements in a world turning upside down and inside out! These people that cause this mayhem are worshiping the beast! This will not resolve without Divine Intervention and only God knows what that actually will have to be but we do have significant signposts in the Holy Scriptures to point out what will be signs of what is to come. As I see it the proverbial writing is on the wall already.

It’s a well-known fact that long before 2015 Iran had hidden secret nuclear weapons development facilities and with their evil leadership going back over the last 40 years declaring a proxy war on America and Israel boldly stating DEATH to AMERICA and ISRAEL and some fools think we should hold hands with them like that former criminal Liar in Chief president OBOZO the traitor did, capitulating to them and the Muslim Brotherhood leading to ISIS forming the largest Caliphate in modern times going back prior to the Crusades! The citizens of Iran hate their own leadership but the evil empire is ruled by monsters that follow Muhammad’s false prophecy of the only acceptable religion to God is Islam and all others are infidels who must be converted or killed! This is all the result of a people and their original religion being hijacked by a heretic who slapped together a radical political ideology spawned from Hell itself, and calling it a religion of the Muslim peoples! Those that follow that leadership or actual heresy are in deeper mire than having some screws loose in their heads. OBOZO is a devil that wanted Iran to have a leg up on destroying Israel and starting WWIII, not our current Great President! Trump is the only one with integrity and intestinal fortitude to come along and kick back the evil of the world so they can’t do that! The Muslim radicals are hell-bent on ushering in the “Mahdi” which to them will be their great leader but who will actually be a world conqueror to enslave the human race and have the mother of all wars!

As far as the supposed Iran Nuclear Deal, there was NO DEAL there was an arrangement to appease Iran and give them time to accomplish their ends along with plenty of cash to do it with! It’s the same for this recent cleric meeting on Islam hosted in Egypt, another in the series of charades and cockamamie falsehoods being perpetuated in the name of Islam. “Largely unknown to and unreported in the West, a large, two-day conference was recently hosted by Al Azhar University in Egypt and attendant by the leading clerics and politicians from 46 nations on January 27-28. Titled, “Renewal in Islamic Thought,” Refutable in their certainty and stability; as for those texts that are not entirely credible, they are subject to ijtihad [reinterpretation, especially based on changing circumstances].”

“In plain language, the teachings of those Islamic texts that are deemed entirely reliable—chief among them, the Koran as well as certain hadith, including, according to mainstream Sunnism, all nine volumes of Sahih Bukhari—are not subject to any change; only those secondary Islamic texts, including many other volumes of hadith, the sira (biography of Muhammad), and other works of history, are open to debate.”

“The problem, of course, is that some—many—of the worst teachings plaguing the Islamic and non-Islamic worlds are derived directly from those texts deemed entirely reliable. The Koran, for example, very clearly permits the sexual enslavement of non-Muslim women, the beating of one’s wife, and of course polygamy; the Koran calls on Muslims to have hate for and when convenient to war on non-Muslims—just because they are non-Muslims.”

“Beginning with Muhammad—whose later wars were hardly defensive but rather raids meant to empower and aggrandize himself and his followers over non-Muslims—and under the first “righteous” caliphs and virtually all subsequent sultans and rulers, jihad consisted of “inviting” neighboring non-Muslims to embrace Islam or at the very least submit themselves to its political authority (as second-class dhimmis); if non-Muslims refused, as they almost always did, if they insisted on maintaining their own religious identity and freedom from Islam, then jihad was proclaimed, the non-Muslims’ lands were invaded, and the aftermath looked like an ISIS setting, with pyramids of heads, burned churches and other temples of worship, and slave markets of women and children littering the landscape. This went on for nearly 14 centuries. One need only look at a map of the Muslim world today and realize that the vast majority of it—all of the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey, Central Asia, as far east as Pakistan and further—was taken by violent conquest in the name of jihad. Every Muslim child is taught this in elementary school; it is a source of great pride and validation.” raymondibrahim.com

To those who talk about a broken deal the Iran Nuclear Deal, may possibly believe in the tooth fairy as well! Nice to dream, but there was NO DEAL there was an arrangement to appease Iran and give them time to accomplish their ends along with plenty of cash to do it with! If anyone believes OBOZO was making peace and stability in the Middle East he or she is either a stooge for the Left or an Iranian radical.

Many of the citizens of Iran hate their own leadership and some have awoken to the fact that they’ve been deceived and brainwashed all of their lives but the evil empire is ruled by monsters that follow Muhammad’s false prophecy of the only acceptable religion to God is Islam and all others are infidels who must be converted or killed! This is all the result of a people and their original religion being hijacked by a heretic who slapped together a radical political ideology spawned from Hell itself, and calling it a religion of the Muslim people! You’re in deeper mire than having some screws loose in your head if you actually believe anything is negotiable with Iran for making peace in the region; they do nothing toward that end and only seek to topple the house of cards! At the core of those in power there is the simple fact that there is not a compassionate peace seeking love of humanity within their distorted evil minds and souls. Case in point was the recent precision drone take down of the top Iranian terrorist enemy combatant Qasem Soleimani who was an Iranian major general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and, from 1998 until his death in 2020, commander of its Quds Force, a division primarily responsible for extraterritorial military and clandestine operations.

“His CV included helping Shia militias to kill hundreds of American troops during the US invasion of Iraq, backing Assad as he slaughtered civilians by the thousands during the Syrian civil war, and most recently overseeing the slaughter of hundreds of anti-Iran protesters in Iraq. While Soleimani rose in the ranks to be one of the most powerful figures in the Islamic Republic, he was not known to be a religious man. He never received a religious education. Instead, he rose through the ranks of the military after the Islamic Revolution. The Quds Force eventually started to train military outfits outside of Iran, like Hezbollah in Lebanon.” dailymail.co.uk

What follows are some of the specific highlights of what was the reasoning and benefit as stated in highly reputable non MSM and direct statements from US Senators as to the truthful perspective of the takedown of this evil madman.

“Terrorist general with the blood of THOUSANDS on his hands: Qassem Soleimani masterminded the killing of hundreds of US troops in IED attacks, helped Assad slaughter his people in Syria, was an ally of Hezbollah and ‘more powerful than Iran’s president”

He with Qods force & its proxies are responsible for assassinations, terrorism, and unconventional warfare that Iran supports in countries like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen. Qods Force is also responsible for successful and attempted terrorist acts and assassinations in countries like Argentina, the United States, India, and Germany. He ordered and directed billions of dollars to organizations that engaged in terrorism. He is/was an evil man. forum.pictures/

Sen. Ben Sasse speaks at the Federal Legislative Summit

Sen. Ben Sasse said the Iranian general and terrorist killed by the United States early Friday “is dead because he was an evil bastard who murdered Americans.” General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region,” the Defense Department said.

“Gen. Soleimani has killed hundreds and hundreds of Americans, and was actively plotting more. This commander-in-chief — any C-in-C. — has an obligation to defend America by killing this bastard,” Sasse tweeted. marketwatch.com

“The president made the brave and right call, and Americans should be proud of our service members who got the job done,” said Sasse, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on the targeted killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

“Tehran is on edge — the mullahs have already slaughtered at least a thousand innocent Iranians — and before they lash out further they should know that the U.S. military can bring any and all of these (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) butchers to their knees.” journalstar.com

“Qassem Soleimani masterminded Iran’s reign of terror for decades, including the deaths of hundreds of Americans,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark

“Tonight, he got what he richly deserved, and all those American soldiers who died by his hand also got what they deserved: justice.”

“Wow — the price of killing and injuring Americans has just gone up drastically,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in a series of tweets. “Major blow to Iranian regime that has American blood on its hands. Soleimani was one of the most ruthless and vicious members of the Ayatollah’s regime. He had American blood on his hands. I appreciate President Trump’s bold action against Iranian aggression. To the Iranian government: if you want more, you will get more.”

Rep. Jeff Fortenberry posted a statement to his website: “The Iranian-inspired attack on our embassy in Baghdad provoked a defensive military response and deliberately ripped open a festering wound. This conflict with Iran has been brewing for forty years since our Embassy in Tehran was overrun in 1979,” the 1st District congressman said.

Rep. Adrian Smith “The president’s decisive action sends a message that while our goal must be peace, the United States will not tolerate Iranian provocations or further attacks on Americans.”

Rep. Don Bacon, representing the 2nd District, said in a tweet: “General Soleimani commanded the Iranian Quds Force, killed 600+ US service members in Iraq & led a countless number of terrorist acts around the world. Iran is #1 exporter in terror & Soleimani was in charge. If true, his demise was many years in coming.” journalstar.com

Sen. Deb Fischer, a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said: “The president has authority and responsibility to protect American lives and interests when they are threatened. Over the past several months, Iran has sharply escalated its pattern of aggression against the United States, our allies and our partners. The United States does not seek a war with Iran; President (Donald) Trump repeatedly demonstrated restraint, and Iran’s leaders were given the opportunity to turn from the path of violence and escalation. They did not.”

Sen. Fischer is spot-on and I say that what makes this even worse if you can imagine it is that the Supreme Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei is a Twelver Shia Marja’ and the second and current supreme leader of Iran, in office since 1989. He was previously the president of Iran from 1981 to 1989. Khamenei is the longest serving head of state in the Middle East, as well as the second-longest serving Iranian leader of the last century. This is nothing but a human powder keg that will explode at any time; completely out of control evil power.

Obama’s Deal with Iran Aligning America with Evil …

In Iran and sadly even here in America there are those who reject all religion outright and have no belief in God. When a person says that he or she isn’t religious in my view that person places his or her self in grave danger of saying that he or she is above divinity of any kind; in other words they know better than any Supreme Being or Creator. We can call this atheism and total denial of supreme intelligence and power in all of existence which on its face is preposterous to think as a mere little earthling person that he or she knows enough to state the blatantly obvious that humans know so little in the vast sea of what there is to know, yet inexplicably can draw a conclusion that is absolutely impossible to do. I’ve spoken to atheists and they continually say keep trying to prove to me that there is a God, and they continually reject all that is said to them to point out specifics that speak to the feasibility that God does exist and has given humanity built in evidence of such. I say to them who reject God; then the onus is on you to prove to me that there isn’t one, if they insist that there isn’t. Much more evidence exists that there absolutely is than any that proves the contrary. Even Albert Einstein stated to another physicist during a group discussion of “The Big Bang” when that scientist stated that with enough “random events” in that preexistence or beginning of the whole universe it just happened, to which Einstein was reported to have said, ah yes my friend but, “God doesn’t roll dice.” Also, Einstein was quoted as saying in reference to a Supreme Being in other conversations, not discounting God outright, but did recognize Him by calling or referring to God as, “The Old One.” But, this is what I say in passing, only because there is a mountain of evidence and knowledgeable verified documentation, vis-a-vis theology and historical record that demonstrates clearly the greater truth that God exists and is not going to disappear because groups of humans are defiant and choose to reject God outright unless it’s put right in their face that God is as real as the air you and I breath. And, as you and anyone will admit, after some careful thought that seeing is not always believing, and as well, not all that exists can be seen.

I told a young woman once out in California during a conversation about God who was brought up as a Christian but said she had never really sincerely searched her faith out and then eventually tossed it aside to just believe science and the secular man-made perspectives on what this life is all about. I then asked her what if she is wrong, and the many others that see it the way she was at that time, if it were to turn out they are all completely wrong and when they die their actual very soul or essence of who they are is faced with meeting a Supreme Being who says to them you had no faith and now you gain nothing, but are sent into oblivion! I went on to say wouldn’t it be much wiser and intelligent to say I would rather take out an insurance policy just like we do for countless other actions or man-made situations to protect our material assets and well-being, so as to have some assurance that when we die if we are faced with God we are welcomed as being wise and humble enough to admit we didn’t know it all and were willing to at least work on the prospect of God really existing, and having a plan? In other words if we do that when we do meet the Creator we will hear, good then you have tried to work on this matter of accepting the whole truth, and know then you are welcome. After all, we don’t have the foreknowledge and superiority to tell the State that we reject having auto liability insurance (owning responsibility for our actions) because we know of our own accord we will never have an accident, so therefore insurance is a waste of time and money to be concerned with! If we do that there will be penalties, and one potentially being a loss of the privilege to operate a motor vehicle, especially if an accident does occur! I say too, that people who reject outright the potentiality of God being real, is more like being worse off than putting oneself above such a Divine Creator and being like a Chinese Communist atheist with absolutely no interest in anything of the kind, and who only is seeking more control and power over anyone they can exert it over. This is something worth addressing in my humble opinion. I would like to state un-categorically that the flipside or flipped-out side of this is that, today way too many individuals are into Mysticism, New Age, Designer Religions, which are all not of God but are man-made simply contrived falsehoods with built in agendas not the least of which is to run people into the precipice away from God, making them much more dangerous than historical religion based on thousands of years of history and prophecy.

I’ll stick with the mountain of evidence and all of the greater minds than my own whom over the ages now have been able to decipher the many resources available; to have the most plausible reason for our being here in the first place, before rejecting anything that could be the most beneficial of reasons for me to carry on. But, in conclusion I do believe in God, wholeheartedly.

This is an extremely vital matter of my mind and heart! I hope it is for you as well!

“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: ¹¹And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. ¹²And 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. ¹³Not 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. ²¹And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. ²²But 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. ²³And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. ²⁴For 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, ²⁹but 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. ³⁰But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes; you killed the fattened calf for him!’ ³¹And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. ³²It 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 Mask of Deception

“father of all lies the serpent and prince of darkness”

With the election of Donald J. Trump as the 45^th President of these “United States of America, the Republic for which It stands one Nation under God,” the most diabolical plan to ever occur on American soil had been forestalled, and with the completion of the second term of the first Illegitimate President of the United States of America and the failed rigged election attempt of Killery; the fraud president born in Kenya Africa making him exempt from holding the office of which he was fraudulently elected by the biggest cover-up and scam ever perpetrated upon the American People, the master plan of conquest collapsed! In his first run for the office during his campaign blitz, OBOZO proclaimed that his administration would be totally accountable and transparent; which we know was of course a bald-faced lie because he and his administration went on to become the least accountable and transparent in America’s history. How could he claim to be all in, to be totally accountable and transparent while holding the highest elected office in America, and yet have so much controversy surrounding his birthplace, and not resolve the issue completely or step down from office due to his own professing that he would be, “totally accountable and transparent?” Because the US Constitution does state anyone running for the office of president must be a natural-born citizen of the U.S. as required by Article Two of the Constitution? He lied; that is how he continued on not abating in his fraud and withdrew totally from the obligation to prove once and for all that he was actually born on American soil! TRUTH matters; so he lied once right from the get-go, a HUGE LIE, and kept lying his whole time in office; thus the “LIAR IN CHIEF” president, with Joe Biden and the entire Dem party as his accomplices and partners in crime! Just because he got away with it doesn’t lessen the enormous damage he did to the integrity of our Nation’s highest elected office and the Rule of Law that this country was founded upon.

“Obama Born In Kenya? His Grandmother Says Yes.”

“Obama’s grandmother said the baby—Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.—was born in Kenya and that shortly after he was born, Stanley Ann returned to Hawaii.”

The mask has been removed, he was the “Liar in Chief” and all of the things that the Dem party has recently accused President Trump of in particular to the Ukraine; OBOZO was guilty of each of those accusations leveled against Trump and many more; actually entitling OBOZO to being tried and convicted of high treason and execution. The Dem party and its members have turned into the lowest form of political minions and parasites that this country has ever seen or could have even imagined before this all came into being through OBOZO being made president. The Dem party for a long time has had ulterior nefarious designs for America and it’s People in motion! OBOZO and his wicked demonic plans accelerated this process in earnest for those eight darkest years in American’s history and politics. They’ve virtually been incessant on conducting a soft behind the scene or secretive coup d’ etat’ overthrow of our entire government and the “American Citizens” as they feverishly worked for the New World Order agenda! The Devil’s own Killery was aligned to be installed; not fairly elected into the office of POTUS, and from that point on the evil OBOZO “leading from behind” with all unholy powers on earth and beneath it were to seal the deal and the fate of America; striking a death blow to our beloved America and all Citizens who align with God, family, country, honor and all that is good; to be traded off for a new world system of secularism and enslavement led by the antichrist. Keep praying and doing all the good you can to carry forward righteousness in His Holy name of Jesus, “because the evil” as we have seen since Trump was sworn into office, vis-a-vis with the recent impeachment charade of lies, is not quitting and is only more determined to destroy us and Our Republic of the People now!

no mask can cover this evil!

I swear to you as I sit here sharing these words that God’s wrath is coming and all of those that were directly involved with OBOZO such as Killery, Comey, Schumer, Pelosi, Feinstein, Nadler, Schiff, Brennan, Clapper, Holder, Lynch, Kerry and so many others are directly complicit and will be held accountable, one way or the other God has definite plans for them that they will never escape, even though they have had the luxury of freewheeling or hobnobbing around the globe, seeming to get away with highway robbery and murder; their days are numbered and the “Winds of Truth and Justice” are coming; for all of them! Nothing but greed, power and ulterior motives are behind anything the Dem party is doing now, as they add more lies on top of lies only seeking to insulate themselves from justice for all of their many crimes, and they have become a counterfeit-hijacking political party of the American People, that should actually be completely abolished now; to be replaced by a new one!

Lord have mercy. Amen.

The Dots are Being Connected; His Will be Done!

“We Never Walk Alone”

Here is what transpired as I began my day asking God to lead my way. Each of the people and the immediate circumstances merged in a specific direction and each part connecting to the others by Divine Providence not just my own desires but by God’s!

Early this morning just when I awoke I turned on my cell phone and saw that the time was a set of numbers that match my sisters birthday and I had just thought how maybe I should not call her and throw her off on her starting the day as I can talk too much at times and yesterday I did frustrate her a bit; so maybe to leave well enough alone would be the best thing. But even though I thought that, I felt unsettled in my heart because the love in me was wanting to reach out to her and make sure she gets off to a good start in her day not worrying if we are in a tiff or perhaps I’m not pleased with something she said yesterday. Well, no sooner did I think this and turned on the cell phone to see an answer there staring me in my face saying call her! We spoke of it and a few other things all coinciding with our circumstances and some world events we both are concerned about. We had a great conversation and she was so happy it made me very relaxed and happy as well to move ahead in the day with certainty and JOY. I then shortly after eating lunch saw an email notification about a Blog a priest had written at a Catholic site I visit which spoke to the very heart of what my sister and I had talked about early in the morning which was that God is always there and will enlighten as well as give us Hope and Guidance sometimes in very subtle ways and maybe in a very harsh turn of events in our lives but all of it is leading us to Him and the ultimate PEACE and JOY we all desperately seek and need more than anything this temporary and incomplete world with its many quagmires or difficulties can provide! Here is what I said in the priest’s blog which is titled, “God comes to us often in obscurity, through unexpected events and persons.” God bless you and may He continue to bless you to do His will on earth as in heaven! I was just talking with a sister of mine early this morning about this very subject of how we are given many such opportunities and I indeed have had this happening in my personal life profusely and knew without a doubt that God was giving me actual messages and help to see my way on the very path which I walk here on earth. He doesn’t only beckon to us but guides us always if we will only take heed and watch as well as listen to all the opportunities He provides to us, so we not stumble but move forward in our life mission to serve Him and be ever so faithful to His will. Those monumental humblest human Icons like “Thomas Aquinas” or “Joan of Arc,” were chosen but they too paid close attention as Joan even when so young to God’s subtle messages being provided and we know what great good it did in her case!

I just wrote a Blog relating to this idea along with some others recently that are attuned to this overall subject of enlightenment and I’m including the most recent about “Hope” and also “My Imitation of Christ,” here for anyone that is interested to please take a look and perhaps our heavenly Father through Jesus Christ is reaching out through your Blog and our shared words to others who just need that message or those tidbits of information to shed light upon their paths! I hope and pray this does some good for someone. Amen.

Thank you dear father,

Brother in Christ Jesus,

Lawrence

“We Never Walk Alone,” He our Creator through Jesus Christ told us He walks with us holding our right hand, and I know it for a fact from all that has happened to me over the last dozen years that I’m still here sharing my words and insights to others because He has given me all that I need and should be while on this earth to serve Him until such time that He God will take me away from this hard life to everlasting JOY and PEACE! For now I must hang in there and be in the ready to do whatever it is He asks of me one day at a time, like you even stated yourself my Friend; but never quitting and only doing what we are capable of however little or big a thing it is we can do it by having Faith in Him who gave us the greatest thing a LIFE, which is growing to be even much better than this, A Miraculous Eternity!

“Those who wage war against you will come to nothing. 13 For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you: “Do not fear, I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13

Footprints in the Sand

Footprints in the Sand, a beautiful poem!

“One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.

After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.

This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You’d walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me.”

He whispered, “My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings’.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.”

A few readers wrote about this poem on a web site:

“This little poem, though I had seen it several times throughout my upbringing, really hit home one day about 30 years ago. It completely and utterly changed my life.”

“Greetings in Jesus name!
When first I saw this poster, some ten years ago, I thought “Wow!” How good and faithful is our Lord. What He promised He will do, He really fulfills His promises. He is not a man who should lie.
Even today I am still thinking about the single pair of footprints: Our father’s! When we are tired He picks us up and carries us. Who else can do this? Nobody, but God.”

“Shalom Aleichem (Shalom Aleichem is a spoken greeting in Hebrew, meaning “peace be upon you.”), my dear friends, this is my greatest comfort in time of my low moment. Shalom Aleichem.”

“Been divorced for 3 years been married for 33 years and all in a sudden divorce comes don’t see your kids no more don’t see the grand kids really thought it was the end for me until I read this poem mean so much to me it carries me on to the next day making me realize how good God is he will be by your side every minute of the day thank you Jesus.”

“I love this reading “Footprints in the Sand”. As a child dying of meningitis, He was carrying me. I was given last rites at the age of 18 months and here I sit today, because He loved and was carrying me. Even today, He continues to be with me daily.”

“Everyone on display is beautiful, I know my Lord walks with me every day to guide me, I just love the second one which is the pillow and would have that next to me on the bed every night to give me strength and comfort. Thank you Lord for everything and never leaving me, praise to Jesus, the only real love of my life always.”

Psalm 37:23-24 (NIV)

^{23 “}The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
²⁴though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”

Interwoven into the fabric of the beautiful God given tapestry of my day came along at just the right moment another notification from a writing friend who apparently God wanted to make sure we both saw each other’s written words and do some connecting of DOTS!

Then during the unfolding of my words through Divine Providence a clear immediate purpose for them came into view and this following letter was directed to a friend in need; who like all of us can use any “inspiration that God will send.”

Dear friend and brother. This is a most beautiful masterpiece of precious love from the deepest heart expressed in a literary work of art. A gift from you to others here on earth and of course those who loved you the most who are where we can’t be until we should be with them; but they would ask us to stay on course and grow in faith that all will be made right. But, I also see that your words sound tired or weary and I feel that you are lacking the JOY of your being created in the first place my dear Friend. Seek and you will find and we are all lost in this world as we have no ultimate control over anything. We truly are in the hands of our Maker or Creator which is a truth that I know for sure and is always worth investigation by anyone who is unsure or even those that need no convincing, because we never know enough nor could we living in just a temporary imperfect state of being. I have learned through my life that even though I’ve been kicked to the curb and then beat upon by many situations, and the ones that hurt me the most were those inflicted upon me by other humans, my own race or species of beings! Yet, I still have joy in my heart because I know that the bigger picture is the key, putting things in perspective; and that there is God Almighty who will judge all things accordingly leading all of those that desire Him above all things; to an everlasting Salvation with Him and all that is good.

We must think about how grand this miraculous, mysterious so precious a gift, this life is, even with all of the pain and sorrow it is, the best thing that ever happened; an expression from a Divine Creator with “ABSOLUTE LOVE” that produced from that love a masterpiece of never-ending sharing love for intelligent gifted brothers and sisters who are and will be members of an eternal fulfilling kingdom! We must be hopeful and vigilant to get there, not giving in to sin or failure as best we can; because no matter what happens “we can make it to the promised land,” He has promised us that, and if we will seek Him out of Love for Him as well one another while asking for guidance, He will never let us down; we will be fulfilled beyond imagination!

I’m telling you after all I’ve had to deal with I would suffer it all again if I must, because I’m positive what awaits at the conclusion and after the final analysis of it all, I will be so happy and complete forever, living eternally in a glorified state of being! For now I must carry my cross.

Read my latest blog that I wrote today just before I read your latest blog here and see how God is working in our lives and we shouldn’t ignore or ever deny that fact. I will be very happy if you read my words and then after any careful timely thinking you might ask me or say anything you please; and I will be willing to help I’m sure of it. I went back to the blog I was writing before I saw your poem and decided this was all happening by Divine Providence and so I dovetailed my ideas with the thoughts provoked by the priest and his article coinciding with my personal life circumstances this morning, and then by you and your masterpiece poem! This was all ordained, and thanks be to God! The past, present and future merged in my writing again as in a previous Blog Article but this time without me doing anything fancy!

God led me to write this Blog as it should be written so it shall be His will!

“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.”

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.”
