Last Chance to Wake-up?

“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

Another blogger wrote a very nice piece about how Salvation is by faith not fear which was in reference to the COVID-19 scare sweeping the globe. This article went on to explain how past catastrophes have come and gone and each time there were those that while all the turmoil or uncertainty was in play people showed up at church that hadn’t in a long while or maybe never, then later when the danger was gone they slipped right back into their usual sinful nature. It spoke about how people seek comfort and others to quell their fear and consternation. I want to allow you to read a comment I made to another blog last night which touched on this same concern and how I was seeing too much lip service as usual and the same old routine of almost pretend we care. More like when there was a snowstorm when we were kids and we got to stay home, so then we were on the phone with our friends and having a bit of fun instead of doing our school work at home like we should. Today this article mentioned the attack of America on 9/11/2001 just as I had mentioned it last night in this following comment, which I refer to today’s article. “I left a comment on a NYC resident’s blog where it was a consoling sort of love-in as I saw it and I know how people are just like this blog you presented here says! And quite interesting how it specifically referred to the attack on America on 9/11/2001 by outright evil satanic Jihadists!”

My comment to the blog last night follows:

You sound like you’re getting on the page I’ve been ranting about for a while! Perhaps you and millions of others are ready to re-calibrate and focus on the fact that the human race has gotten too big for its britches as the old saying goes and feel too high and mighty or are living day to day like machines that don’t think so good, even though they are under the deluded false impression that they have the world by the, excuse the expression, by the balls! I’ve been saying this in many of my blogs too, how people are way too self-serving and arrogant and they went beyond ignoring God, but they instead decided to play God, be their own world unto themselves and figure they can do as they damn well please, and butt out everybody, even God! Don’t anyone take me wrong here, I can see why people got this way in our modern materialistic high tech world of convenience, being lulled into an almost zombie like pace and style of living; but we’ve had serious wake up calls before (9/11) and people don’t ever seem to learn or get their shit wired and make up their minds that they better live on the straight and narrow from now on.

They just slip back into their old habits as soon as the dust settles and the dark cloud passes us by! I’m sorry to say, but I think it’s going to take a lot more than a COVID-19 scare to shake the “bejesus” out of enough people to come clean and fess up! Look at our National Seat of Power with people like, Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Feinstein, Maxine the Crazy Machine and so many others that are so corrupted and dirty there is no going back now, they are going to die wicked and greedy pigs! Sorry, I hate to be morbid under such sad conditions but I may cool off and get back to seeing the light shining through, not the clouds, but though “human consciences” hopefully soon and have wonderful things to report to anyone who will listen.

I do think there are still so many people that want to do the right thing and make a good world that is in tune with what Jesus told us to do when he was here. But, we have way too many bad people running things and that has to stop I think before enough substantive change can occur! Sorry, people are ruining this world, so we better pray harder than ever to be delivered from this madness, especially for the sake of all the innocent kids and babies! I hope it is going to change for the better, I do!

God Bless!

I want to add some additional thoughts about this fear factor and related ideas.

Now to this point about fear! I believe everyone should have a healthy dose of fear as we are all fallen and our souls are a glimmer away from eternal damnation if not for the Lamb of God who took away sin on the cross at Calvary, for those who will abide in Him! But, I think some people get the idea it’s not hard at all Jesus did us all a favor and took care of all the dirty details of our transgressing nature, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak,” and our souls that have at least original sin and I dare say most of us are nothing but dirty rags, without Jesus and His salvation, we’re not even worthy to be near Holy God Almighty let alone look at Him! No as in Holy Scripture it tells us clearly:

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

Not fearing the things of this world is fine but fear of God is wise as it humbles us to make certain we know we aren’t worthy in the slightest and we are not home free until we are past the pearly gates so there is no slacking or doing as we damn well please then just when it’s time to face death we suddenly can say hey I’m good I like Jesus and always did!

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” Romans 3:10

“If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” 1 John 1:8

I can safely say I believe that nobody on this earth does enough to hold themselves up as a prize to God, only Jesus could claim victory over all things seen and unseen. Are we worthy of praise for some of the things we have done for others or in the name of Jesus, surely some of us can rest assured of that, but we can also be certain that we carry sin and guilt that will not go away and we will not be free of until we are in heaven with God the Father through and by the forgiveness of our transgressions only by Jesus Christ Himself, and that is why we need to be concerned to a great degree if we don’t call it outright fear, we are all in jeopardy and are in a most tumultuous world these days full of vanity and sin in so many basic things we participate in which serve the beast or the prince of this world and not our heavenly Father. Can we judge ourselves, of course not, we are mere humans that die, but the one who can is who we should fear because we don’t know whether we are truly worthy until He the Lord our God tells us so!

“I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.” Jeremiah 17:10

What we want to hear from our Lord when we stand before him is simply this: “Well done, good and faithful servant!” Matthew 25:23.

Now when people try to fool God they lose. If this COVID-19 is a wake-up call I feel it is potentially a last chance, then again maybe not, but it very well could be and that is how the world should look at it as a last opportunity to come clean, because He sees how evil this world has become and the good is more and more suppressed each year! Abortions by the millions each year alone is a mockery and abomination that transgresses God horribly, so we are in a deep hole full of manure and as my dad used to tell me as a kid when I got wise-ass or a chip on my shoulder; “don’t try to bullshit me.” He would go on to say, “if you did wrong you best admit it and take the consequences, so you can learn from it and not do it again.” My dad meant business and that taught me and tells me now how God is fed up with us here on earth and things better start going in the right direction with so many leaders and peoples, because if not all hell will break loose, because God may allow His wrath to pour out by perhaps allowing evil to prevail sooner rather than later, via-a-vis the antichrist, and that is Scriptural obviously, but still much can be avoided if people will stop and turn to HIM so that many more souls will be saved! Then on bent knee in humble supplication ask for His mercy and help; to only do His will.

I see in this world today how so many opportunities have been given to us to allow the human race to come together with forthrightness and honorable truth that was given to us from God, but all they do is attack one another, even if it is only mind or cyber space attacking it’s all wrong!

Keep praying and changing for the better!

Post Script 3/18/2020

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! 🙏

Seek and You Will Find

“God doesn’t play dice!”

I found a fellow bloggers name listed today for the first time indicating he liked my blog and is now following it. I in turn reviewed his blog and enjoyed his perspective on some topics of interest to me as well, but I immediately noticed a gap in his perception of our earthly reality. My hope here is to help bridge that gap with added insight and revelation, because we all need our own personal epiphany before we depart this short earthly life. I recognize that we humans may come from very different cultures and backgrounds that often give us different frames of reference by which we perceive the world in “varying degrees of difference” that can be similar or vastly different. But again, my hope here is to express my inner most heart and what wisdom I may have acquired in my lifetime to help others to hopefully see the TRUTH, so they won’t “miss the boat” or “not see the forest for the trees!” “This life is an unbelievable, awe inspiring amazing gift” that came from “absolute perfect eternal love” and this short opportunity or window to come to terms with some fundamental principles that we must not overlook should not be marginalized or wasted! But rather, we should with a whole heartened intent ask “the why,” because there is an answer sitting in our proverbial faces to that ancient question! And, that is why, I wrote this blog today, for this man or anyone who will listen. God Bless You.

I see where you’re coming from. I also see the deepest intrinsic value in every speck of existence as miraculous and having qualities that are not random or meaningless or having come into such balance and order by chance or random sequential events taking place at some special by happenstance moment, as I also don’t see how it all has always been as it is with no beginning or end, as we observe readily all is changing and disintegrating in this realm! Scientists know for certain and have demonstrated the “Big Bang” theory, but so too persons like the great Albert Einstein who by far one of the most extraordinary minds to have even been here on earth, told fellow physicists when having a discussion about the millisecond prior to the “Big Bang;” when one of the scientists extrapolated with all of his calculations that with enough “random events” occurring just before that “golden moment” when creation took place or the “Big Beginning,” as I call it, this scientist said these events would surely fall into the precise order required for that golden moment to take place.

Then Einstein said, “Ah, Yes my friend but you’re forgetting one thing, God doesn’t play dice!” You see he knew and could understand by his extraordinary insights or revelation into existence, his epiphany if you will; that a creating power that vast and intelligent would undoubtedly have to exist being deliberate and intentional in all of its actions by the sheer fact of knowing all things which would by default make “each action perfect and precisely what it was meant to be” or the only thing it can be; never a mistake! My point to you and all followers here is that the mathematical probability that all of this unbelievable existence to have come into being by some unknown yet perfect event happening by chance, is basically mathematically impossible, especially when one looks at and examines closely the incredible intricacies of every bit of existence down to the atom and every elementary minute unit of matter comprising the subatomic particle to not see clearly that a vast intelligence is at work in all of this; which is far beyond our puny minds or almost insignificant meaningless opinions, when stacked up against what is really going on here! You and I know basically nothing in comparison and to think otherwise is complete folly and I dare say stupidity on our parts if we are to think so highly of ourselves! We only have what God has given to us and there is obviously a plan or imagination at work that will have the final say in everything here, no if’s and’s or but’s about it! Rest assured you are part of God’s plan, but our biggest task, is to recognize that, and appreciate the opportunity sitting on our laps, while then giving due respect and love back to our Creator, because that was the only reason all of this began, was out of “His infinite love.” We step outside of this plan or design attempting to make ourselves our own God, then we transgress the “OLD ONE,” as Einstein referred to him. That would be quite asinine to do, don’t you think?

Just this fact, that we can think as we attempt to comprehend and make these observations is obviously a miracle and gift from the “Divine Creator” of all things, which plainly tells us that we are meant to see, recognize and understand these fundamental facts, then to let our conscience and heart be our guide, which will lead us to Him in Love and Peace beyond measure, far beyond our present limited human comprehension. As Holy Scriptures have told us, “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. ⁸For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8

Lord have mercy. Amen.

Recently I wrote the following that to me correlates and comes full circle.

“Divide and Conquer” the attack upon “Humility and Trust in the Lord”

The Spark of Goodness Within

“the better angels of our nature”

Something I wanted to say to another blogger who has big questions and wonders when or in what way the answers will come, say for example really knowing what you want?

“Spark of goodness within.” Where did that come from; have you asked yourself? Do you perceive correctly that in this messed-up “mean” world there is absolute goodness and simultaneously absolute evil? These two are the dichotomy of life the duality of what the struggle is all about! They both vie for your heart and soul or what it takes for true absolute love and freedom to exist within individual hearts and souls not automatons; and as you see in today’s world so easily with the advent of instantaneous global digital communication there are so many people doing wicked and horrific things each day as sure as the sun rises; but, all the while there are those individuals that fight the good fight, and like Abraham Lincoln who is one of my favorite top three historical figures referred to such persons at his First Inaugural Address Monday, March 4, 1861 how they respond and as he indicated his own conviction, “that “touched” once more by “the better angels of our nature,” but, I add though they struggle more than most to hold onto the good, they find the inner strength to persevere and bring out that, “spark of good within” themselves and encourage it in others; as I see them, as sort of the Don Quixote like heroes in their relentless journey to “follow that star of hope.”

I temper this with the brutal reality and fact that naivety can make one a target of the nefarious ugliness that roams the earth seeking only to ruin, which I personally know about from my having to contend with this very fact multiple times; but, I would rather deal with that as it comes as a challenge; than to toss in the towel and join the parade of fools, or even worse the wicked; thinking to appease evil’s thirst for my blood with allegiance; I kiss no ass! I walk alone at times, but, proudly of my own accord and on my own merits, trusting that my guidance will always come from above, the only source of absolute truth and love will watch over me; therefore I never truly walk alone! Now keeping in mind what I’ve said so far, do you think all of this is happening in a void and for no reason outside of what we puny fragile beings are capable of extrapolating regarding the why from all of this on our own, or is it more evident that the most high consciousness and power is totally aware of all we are facing and allows it to unfold toward a better end or the ultimate meaning and purpose, the final goal which is absolute love? I don’t mean love in the mere sense of what we contrive love to be, but, an absolute love that is actually never-ending and totally filling; a perfection that does exist far outside of our capabilities to fathom or produce. Could it be that this life as short or as long as it may be for an individual is just a beginning spark that we must strive to foster and protect “so that one day in the future” it will ignite and produce an eternal flame that will never be extinguished. As children and most certainly by the time we are adults we always know the difference between right and wrong, so too was that just in us by chance or accident? I see it clearly that we are tested over time, to choose the path to righteousness and that eternal love; or go in the opposite direction which is the path to damnation and total abandonment. Now, to cut to the chase so this won’t be too long and boring, let’s just consider from human history any historical figure that may have brought insight and truth to humanity like no one else did or could, and that truth was revealed over many centuries indeed millennia very specifically through prophecy and actual witnessed as well as recorded or documented events, that spoke to these questions very clearly and in such a way that nobody else could equal or duplicate and was obviously over time becoming even more valid as world events and all those previous prophecies become more self-evident and pronounced making it abundantly clear that the choice remains the same and is ours to make, each and every one of us; which is, do we want that eternal peace and endless love or would we rather choose to be destructive to others and our own lives in this world of constant conflict.
My friend, let me end this for now where I ended the last long comment to another of your articles with those very same words, which I just noticed I think not coincidentally, actually fits this communication to a “T” which I believe it was meant to. To me this is additional evidence of God at work in our lives.
“And, how would we love Him genuinely unless we had the opportunity to grow, or “evolve” as unique individuals who will decide for themselves, not controlled or manipulated, but, truly love God with all of our hearts of our own desire or volition!”

With Our Faith We Meet the Challenge

“Jesus, our Lord, entered our world, just so that we could enter His”

Quite profound and true words of wisdom you shared! I’ve been through some sad and painful things over the last dozen years that eventually altered me internally and externally, but, I still function very well by His grace and many would not have prevailed as I did if confronted with the same challenges, so, I must count my blessings and accept the outward appearance of what seems unfortunate, but, in reality is only what comes to all of we humans one way or another; change and broken as all things in the material world will do! Then realizing that the ultimate and important invisible change took place on the inside or hidden; the spiritual or deep in my soul; which belongs to God! So, whatever benefit will eventually be derived from all of this challenge and my suffering, will be manifested in His presence, when I complete my time on this earth and then really join with Him in His glorious loving Holy perfection; then I will be completely transformed into His eternal image and likeness, as a perfect child of God; at which time everything will be fine, so completely happy and joyous beyond imagination!

“Jesus, our Lord, entered our world, just so that we could enter His, becoming witnesses of His Greatness.

Until we are seen, until we believe in Him, we only believe that we see Him, in reality, seeing only a vague form. Those who see Him will not be able to remain the same.” “When God Approached – Max Lucado”

This tells me that all things are in God’s hands as His plan unfolds and that these changes are both inevitable and they serve His Divine purpose; so that in the end we are able to have a perfect loving relationship with Him as unique individual free children of God’s. Perhaps this is analogous with birth pains being part of every new child coming into this existence, not easy, but, worth the effort and desire to know and love Him.

God bless you.

“To the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

“Seek and you will find”
“Gods perfect Holy presence in heaven eternally”

What follows is an answer to a question about following The Ten Commandments as the Golden Code verses Avoidance of the Seven Deadly Sins, which I responded to without hesitation. In drawing this in a sense, battle line for debate, between theology and atheism, or magic and religion, I actually saw no comparison or Nothing to debate being a devout Christian with an absolute belief in Jesus Christ I have no difficulty in seeing that atheism is a dead topic with nothing from which to base the conjecture that there is no God and everything just is! Sounds like a liberal out of their minds way of avoiding the truth, where facts and truth are constantly denied, whether in politics or reality. To me deniers are scoffers of God and with great arrogance toss the Creator aside and say I see it my way!

Let’s start with that premise of some supposed battle between theology and atheism and cut to the chase, shall we. There is no battle to be had, nothing and no one can lay claim to what Jesus Christ said and did!

I wrote many times these words that truly resonate with the absolute truth although in the end faith and humility are required of all who seek the heavenly kingdom.

But, ultimately after all is said and done all we have is our Faith in Him, because we are truly in His hands, lambs ready for the slaughter living in the world with its corruption but knowing He will never forsake us if we are living in accordance to His word and will for us, I do trust Him with all.

You are better to take one side or the other, to say you confess that Jesus is whom he was said to be the MESSIAH, or he is not, but this lukewarm nonsense is a travesty and that is something God says in the “living words of the Scriptures,” that He would rather we take one side or the other but not to be lukewarm! Again, I say this one fundamental truth to you and anyone listening, no other human being on this earth ever did or could lay claim to what Jesus Christ did and who he said He was! It is historical fact not maybe or supposes! He was the “Sacrificial Lamb for all Mankind,” in order to take away all man’s sins and cleanse all who accept this GIFT in order that they will be worthy to be in “Gods perfect Holy presence in heaven eternally!” No other way is available, Jesus said “I am the way the truth and the life!”

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me.” John 14:6

God cannot be any more clear cut than that, He has spoken and told us in no uncertain terms that Jesus is the only way to heaven and all else fails but will bring eternal damnation! Simple choice for we simple earthly fools some with huge egos and arrogant ways, thinking they are powerful like sorcerers and witches! They got diddly-squat and will rot in hell for eternity!

Here you answer your own cause with the dilemma, and proves itself an oxymoron with no final answer other than you try as a mere human to come up with this “code” you will chase your own tail into oblivion no doubt!

Here I state in my own words how the person posing this debate is seeking to have people develop a code to live by that would produce great humans that would be always kind and good to each other along with the environment. But, also admitted how in any human devised system there is bound to be corruption, imperfections and discord; leading to major problems.

But, the idea that follows, this takes the cake as being a wild little twist on an ultimate truth handed to us humans from the supernatural Creator to bear in mind and heart, as to what the Divinity of God is and in words for our limited imperfect understanding; being that we are all sinful and hopeless without His plan of resurrection.

Then, there was this one statement made about not believing in Wiccan Power of Three referencing by these words; father, the sun and holy ghost as having religiosity at its core, which apparently like Wiccan to some people is nothing but flights of fancy and make believe. There is no equating the Blessed Trinity with Wiccan! Here is where my own heart and lifetime wisdom through Jesus Christ speaks.

Maybe the Druids or Wiccans and Mayans like the word “sun” but God only speaks about His only begotten Son which is God as a perfect T man, having nothing to do with the sun that heats the solar system. The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost as the One true God Almighty who reconciled all imperfection by means of His absolute perfection! Free Will had to exist in God’s Creation in order to have a family of beings or children made in His likeness. With this Free Will came the opportunity to do God’s will following His teaching or to sin and transgress Him. This was and is a perfect plan as to allow each soul to decide for itself out of love for God which God is absolute love, that these souls or children of God would have their own individual minds making each special and not just carbon copies or robots. They could then grow and be living in God’s eternal kingdom, in the presence of God and in a state of perfection with God.

A great scientist even touched upon this, from the genius mind in science of his work in theoretical physics which points out that this genius much brighter than most of us admitted God is real and perfect without doubt or hesitation.

“The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms – this knowledge, this feeling is at the centre of true religiousness.”

-Albert Einstein

I also wrote recently and quoted Albert again in his one profound statement to another physicist that speaks volumes! Follow my text to the one grandiose sentence he spoke.

I also see the deepest intrinsic value in every speck of existence as miraculous and having qualities that are not random or meaningless or having come into such balance and order by chance or random sequential events taking place at some special by happenstance moment, as I also don’t see how it all has always been as it is with no beginning or end, as we observe readily all is changing and disintegrating in this realm! Scientists know for certain and have demonstrated the “Big Bang” theory, but so too persons like the great Albert Einstein who by far one of the most extraordinary minds to have even been here on earth, told fellow physicists when having a discussion about the millisecond prior to the “Big Bang;” when one of the scientists extrapolated with all of his calculations that with enough “random events” occurring just before that “golden moment” when creation took place or the “Big Beginning,” as I call it, this scientist said these events would surely fall into the precise order required for that golden moment to take place.

Then Einstein said, “Ah, Yes my friend but you’re forgetting one thing, God doesn’t roll dice!”

You see he knew that a creating power that vast and intelligent would undoubtedly be deliberate and intentional in all of its actions by the sheer fact of knowing all things that would by default make “each action perfect and precisely what it was meant to be” or the only thing it can be; never a mistake! My point to you and all followers here is that the mathematical probability that all of this unbelievable existence to have come into being by some unknown yet perfect event happening by chance is basically mathematically impossible, especially when one looks at and examines closely the incredible intricacies of every bit of existence down to the atom to not see clearly that a vast intelligence is at work in all of this; which is far beyond our little puny minds or almost insignificant meaningless opinions when stacked up against what is really going on here! You and I know basically nothing in comparison and to think otherwise is complete folly and I dare say stupidity on our parts if we are to think so highly of ourselves! We only have what God has given to us and there is obviously a plan or imagination at work that will have the final say in everything here, no if’s and’s or but’s about it!

That would be quite asinine to do don’t you think?

I concluded with this:

Just this fact, that we can think as we attempt to comprehend and make these observations is obviously a miracle and gift from the “Divine Creator” of all things, which plainly tells us that we are meant to see, recognize and understand these basics, then to let our conscience and heart be our guide, which will lead us to Him in Love and Peace beyond measure, far beyond our present limited understanding. As Holy Scriptures have told us, “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. ⁸For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8

“Women’s Beauty Sin or Curse?”

The great equalizer is “Conscience”

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” Romans 3:10

A nice lady who was blogging about a beautiful specimen of a woman who could be a seductress and indeed had gone through several hardships over her feminine beauty in dealing with men or even in a love/romance relationship always being eventually disappointed, hurt and damaged but going on to fight the next battle with determination and a stubbornness to prove herself right. The blogger thought of her as a brave warrior because she kept dusting herself off and going on to the next skirmish or battle in life mostly in dealing with men as they relate to her beauty and femininity. She asked why does the world look at this woman with contempt and judge her some kind of failure when it was the men and world that failed her!

This blogger was asking what was this other woman’s mistake? I think seeing the woman as not doing anything wrong was this nice lady’s misconception, as she isn’t perfect, so she must make mistakes! The blogger continues saying, how in every relationship she, that most radiant beauty, was the victim by men and the world, how she was the one who was used, betrayed, abused ultimately causing her great suffering both emotionally and mentally; yet, the patriarchal world or society looks upon her and addresses her as a sinner! Of course when we look at this circumstance clearly we have to know that we are all sinners, the men, women and the society or, “ways of the world” by which men and women can live by, or not let that become their trap and vicious cycle of try and fail over and over.

I believe this blogger was seeing this woman too much as a two dimensional being and agreeing with her failures due to seeing it as a matter of depending on self only; not seeking the higher calling for her being alive to begin with. This limiting perspective will only fail each and every time anyone sets themselves against the world and thinks they will find a way to beat it and come out on top by sheer determination or just learning how to fight the world harder, while perhaps learning the ways of the world better and go along for the ride. That will always lead to doom; and here is why in my humble opinion.

There are lines we must not cross regardless of personal perspective or even upbringing, because God will judge all human beings by what is truly in their own heart! What fills that heart is the sum total of all one’s life experiences, but, the great equalizer is “Conscience” and every person has one excluding the exception of a sociopath or pure evil which does exist. One must learn through life to choose carefully what actions or behaviors they display or elicit from others for that can become a pathway to temptation and sin which are the ruin of humankind from the original fall from grace when Adam and Eve transgressed God, who is God, the Omnipotent always right in all matters, no exceptions. So, that is who we should attune our hearts to nothing else, not worldly fashion or promise nor the allures of fame and fortune nothing will bring everlasting peace and happiness to any soul unless it is through God Almighty the Creator of the universe and we broke humans. It starts with humility and people today lack it sorely putting themselves and some others up on high pedestals, which is complete folly and some stay on that path thinking they are god-like which is what pagan ancient civilizations produced in Greece, the Roman Empire or Mayan among many other empires, which even went as far as human sacrifice in their evil behavior. So yes, there is benevolence and there is actual evil in the universe and mankind is plagued with the dilemma of this dichotomy, the choice is up to each person, but, all have the opportunity I believe to turn things around before they are doomed! The pure example of this is when God came as one of us to say this will be the only way to redeem the fallen sinners, if I God suffer their punishments and transgressions out of my eternal love, but, all they have to do is appreciate and accept this gift from God showing in their heart of hearts by faith in Him, that they believe in Him and will do His will not their own; which even while God Jesus was dying for all our sins on a cross an illustration of this forgiveness was made.

When Jesus was on the cross, there were two criminals beside Him. One of the criminals hurled insults at Jesus. But the other one said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Verily I say unto thee today, thou shalt be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43 That criminal did a lot of bad things in his life. But, God showed him right then that there is hope and Jesus is it, the Savior who will judge and forgive those who humble themselves and have faith in Him.

Does the bible give the names of the two thieves on the cross next to Jesus? According to Nicodemus, their names are Dismas and Gestas. Gestas made fun of Jesus, while Dismas rebuked Gestas.

What this tells us is we are the instrument of our own destruction or salvation “through Jesus Christ” by making the simple decision to turn to Jesus and ask for forgiveness or reject Him and be banished for eternity! biblestudyresources.org

“Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, Vanity of vanities! All is vanity” (Ecclesiastes 1:2,

Romans 8:20 says that all creation was subjected to vanity because of God’s curse. When Adam sinned, God cursed all that He had made (Genesis 3:17–19). In other words, perfection was lost. All of creation is now falling short of its original purpose; rather than working in harmony with God and creation, inhabitants of the earth have turned on each other and against God. We still reel from the effects of that curse. Everything meant to be right side up is upside down. The chaos and insanity of the world as we know it are due to the fact that God has subjected creation to vanity until the time when it will be set free (Romans 8:21).

At the root of all vanity is self, which demands to be protected at all costs. Self cannot co-rule our lives along with the Holy Spirit. God will not share His throne. That’s why Jesus calls us to die to self in order to follow Him (Luke 9:23). Vanity is an enemy of the Spirit and must be constantly brought to the cross and crucified (Galatians 2:20; Romans 6:1–6). gotquestions.org/Bible-vanity

Courage to Change

“This is who I am”

Inspired by my Christian Sister Ali this opening script are her words that started an inferno in my heart to hear what the Lord is saying about change!

“We can carry around emotional junk for years without realizing how it’s impacting us.”

“Thank God for Ali”

Yes Ma’am Ali….You nailed it down here as to how we many times keep house and how we should keep ourselves tidy or organized, in another sense prepared or even just preparing for additional changes coming or necessary alteration and altercations that life here on earth can throw at us; because we aren’t in heaven yet; not by a long shot!

I was initially caught up in the truth of what you said pertaining to me literally as far as the physical stuff in my life, all the extra baggage, and if you saw what I mean you would have pity on me I’m sure, you might even offer your services for a fee to streamline this ship I dwell within! It’s like a cargo ship of sorts a heavy laden vessel, and never mind a cargo hold the whole place is one!!! How did I do this to myself? It started small like your story analogy with a junk draw then two, three and four, but after a while that didn’t work no more! So, then a closet became another even larger junk storage location, to keep just about anything I could fit into it that I wasn’t sure what to do with or thought do I really want to part with this thing, or maybe I’ll have some use for it someday, right?

Sure I could deceive myself easily once this ball got rolling gathering up more of its own inertia until it was a bloody freight train roaring down the tracks with a mind of its own basically telling me to stay out of the way and I’m just along for the ride now! Who is running this train anyway, it sure isn’t me and as far as I know I’m present and accounted for, but, there has to be somebody else around running this building catastrophe?

Now that my garage has taken on the appearance of the closets what can be next? The whole property becomes a draw of junk or buried under so much of this stuff I’m living in a“Junk Yard?” I remember as a teen me and a couple of buddies would love heading over to some what we called “Junk Yards” or auto salvage businesses where all sorts of neat old cars were lying around because they still had some useful parts or even a motor that could be scavenged or brought back to operating condition with a rebuild and as we said back then, dropped into a hot-rod, making for a really cool machine!

Things got nipped in the bud in those days because if I brought one junk car onto my parents property, my dad would say something like, “what are you doing with that piece of junk,” to which I would reply, well dad it’s a really cool car and needs some parts and fixing up but it’s going to be a really nice car. He would say, “Look, a car to me is transportation to get me to and from work or from here to there but not to pile up on my property because it can be cool.” He would then give me an ultimatum to have it off the property by a certain day or he would have the rubbish hauler come take it away, “so hurry and sell it or junk it.” Of course as an adult I’ve had many years to develop whatever habits I want and account to no one but myself right? So, here I am with lots of things that need a home or a “Junk Yard” but, certainly not here where I live and make my home! And this is just the literal material Junk we are talking here in my life, because we haven’t even touched the surface of what it’s like on the inside or in the figurative sense, “the worries or clutter in the mind” or the not letting go of that which is “not helpful and practical” as my dad always called it, so too that a person frees them-self from the “things that make us weary” which Jesus was referring to in the scripture you kindly left! “Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest…” (Matthew 11:28 NLT)

Perhaps this verse or little prayer is key in this dilemma,

“God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change…the Courage to change the things I can…and the Wisdom to know the difference.”

The part here where it says “Courage to Change,” I’ve been a bloody coward not letting go of many things that I don’t need or actually want on my back, but built up a false sense of security by holding onto anything and everything that is attached to yesterday and the past, remembrances and keepsakes that never did what I thought they would for me by holding them tight, so I just kept holding onto additional things perhaps subconsciously thinking these will do the job, but, they never do! I have to do the job not things or anyone else, just “me with God” who is there for me always to give me the confidence to just let go and move on! Man this is so awakening and hard too, because being overly sentimental I have allowed not only things to pile up but my emotions of past times or joys long since passed, just never gotten over them or been resolved, the fact that they are gone now and won’t matter tomorrow because tomorrow brings a new day and a new dawn or awakening of who I really am, NOW, I’m not back in the past I’m in the here and now and this is who I am! This reminds me of something else dad would say when I was growing up how, “some people can’t live down their past or let go of it!”

But, now by your nice insightful essay, you remind us how Jesus Christ can solve any problem or help us through any difficulty we may experience but we have to be honest and really turn it over to Him and then ask him to show us the way we need to go or how to handle one thing or another, to move forward making progress! What I did was allowed, illusion or a facade to transfix me on past, thinking it can remain when it cannot and is gone, so it’s time to move away from the past and leave it where it belongs both physically and emotionally, as sad as that might be, it is what is best! “Everything has its proper place,” was something dad like mom said many a time to me and my siblings when we were growing up; learning what life is all about!

God bless you sister in Christ Jesus,

AGE OF THE HYPOCRITES AND HEATHENS

“cheering on this human devil of a man Biden to be their leader”

It’s hard to believe it, as I never thought I would be living in the time to actually witness or suffer with so many others in a world that is seeking evil and destruction at an unprecedented rate that escalates by the year! Now there are actually many citizens around us that praise evil and hoist up the immoral in order to worship them and the evil one! Just listen to “#Me Too” lately along with Planned Parenthood and many elitist celebrities like the whining Alyssa Milano the has been actress along with Commie Minion AOC saying, “so what” even if Joe Biden did sexually assault Tara Reade they don’t support her, even with all of her vastly verified corroborating evidence; yet these dirty filthy hypocrites that were screaming bloody murder against Judge Kavanaugh during his appointment to the Supreme Court, when he was being accused by a soused, crony leftist, crazy woman Christine Blasey Ford who said 35 years ago when a teen, Kavanaugh raped her at a party, which she had zero credibility or corroboration of ever actually happening!

But her lie was bolstered by wicked Senator Diane Feinstein one of the highest raking Democrats who is even nefariously connected to China, along with the crazy Wicked Witch of the West Nancy Pelosi, both of whom groomed Ford’s testimony before the Senate, while they constructed the narrative through the equally evil Main Stream Media Minions, and to this day Pelosi states, “Joe is just Joe,” as her position about his well-documented established inappropriate behavior of women! Just the way Liar Shifty Adam Schiff carried out a fake story and complete lie of Russian Collusion between the Trump campaign through Russian operatives from the moment he was elected President; then when that failed he accused Trump with a supposed whistle blowers allegation that The President bribed the Ukraine’s President Zelinsky with a congressionally approved aide package threatening to hold the funds back if Zelinsky didn’t cooperate with Trumps Agenda; which was a complete hoax and failed coup d’ etat’ as we all know now after so much waste and damage done by such treasonous agents right here in the US Government at the highest levels, carried out by the previous administration and Deep State Cronies; “Swamp Creatures!”

A time when we see a most Despicable, Lying Crony Career Politician such as Creepy, Crazy, Hypocrite Joe Biden actually running for president of the greatest country on earth; that is of course until it sank into moral decay and deceit on an unimaginable scale to where there are now countless minions of diabolical evil that are actually cheering on this human devil of a man Biden to be their leader, especially the entire Democrat Party that is a refuge of misfits, the worst sinners, liars, cheats, communists, perverts, murderers, backstabbing human scum of the earth, that to me are worse than what I’ve seen in cesspools over the course of my lifetime! A world where a dirty rotten wicked minion and cohort of hell Nancy Pelosi can lead the Democrat Communist Party toward the destruction of America with impunity and with a thrill as she does it, wielding totally corrupted human earthy power even as she claims to be a Catholic just like Biden does, while not even living in the slightest way in accordance with the teachings and tenets of the Church that follows strictly through thousands of years of theologian accurate deciphering of the Holy Scriptures; in order to live in the way that Jesus Christ Himself instructed the faithful to live. Everything they do is in complete opposition to any degree or fragment of what Jesus taught; but rather they blaspheme God! And, they are attempting to lead the world through America’s power and influence toward perdition, under a One World Leader within the guise of New World Order, which will usher in the Antichrist who will usurp all the powers and demonic forces of hell into this New World Construct, to enslave the human race in a world of sin and debauchery like the “good old earth” has never witnessed, in order to bring Armageddon upon God’s beautiful creation!

Repentant Thief Dismas next to Jesus at Calvary who was forgiven any sins by genuine belief!

This doesn’t shake my faith and absolute resolve to “Fight the Good Fight” to the end if necessary, as in fact it demands my ceaseless commitment to be in the thick of it, this spiritual and physical battle that I’ve learned to deal with all too well in recent years being attacked by these so called Democrats in my jurisdiction; even where I grew up! And, I was always a decent law abiding Christian citizen; nonetheless as they turned on me like a pack of blood thirsty vampires wanting me to suffer and die; these vile demonic inflicted, wicked cohorts of the devil on earth, that have no mercy or kindness at all. The underlying force for any of them is more wealth and earthly power or prestige, to be within the inner circle of favor and privilege that they basically swear an allegiance to, as they seek acceptance into this New Order of Totalitarian Power on earth; which is selling their souls to the devil! In my case some devastating things happened; all of which only occurred during what I call the 8 Darkest Years in American History, under the fraud diabolical minion of hell “Obama Administration,” he who promoted so many of the most unholy policies, conspiracies and anti-America agendas this country has ever had to such a degree, seeking to corrupt and ruin the actual fabric of this Nation under God of the People, by the People and for the People whose rights are inalienable and given by God the Creator of all things seen and unseen!

One a Hero-Soldier-Martyr for God-family and country; other Guilty as the Darkest Sins!

But, they saw that I would never give one ounce of my worth to any of it and they knew it by all I said plainly in public and by my actions; so they conspired and set out to ruin, any way they could! They are thoroughly networked and have many schemes up their sleeves to bring down their adversaries or anyone who opposes their evil and lies; that poses any threat to them and won’t align with their program! We’ve all witnessed this firsthand on television and the internet or reading numerous articles about what trap or weaponized accusation the Democrats craft and spring upon the chosen target! Yet these same criminals using the old “Gestapo Rule Book” accuse the Trump administration and its loving Christian supporters of the many wrongs that they the Democrats perpetrate! Like even voter suppression and other civil liberties as stated by the ACLU this month in their campaign against the current administration; when in fact it’s the Democrats who pretend and lie about supporting the people and their liberties, which factually they are always seeking ways to further rob the citizens of these inalienable rights and freedom! All of which I found out the hard way having dealt directly on my own with these Communist, Nazi Gestapo Evildoers, up close and personal, who tried to set traps and use administrative government muscle to subdue and annihilate me as an enemy with a loud voice, which is only going to be heard more loudly and clearly as the fight ensues! These devils picked a fight with the wrong guy, because, I’m a true “Brave Heart” who will march into the devils den to Fight the Good Fight for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who is the one true God Almighty, and the time draws ever near to His glorious return.

This horrendous Wuhan Corona Virus Pandemic was and is another effect of the evil plans these monsters are preparing and planning to spring upon the citizens as opportunity presents itself, making them already responsible with the Communist Chinese Party for hundreds of thousands of deaths and countless numbers of suffering humans! But, if the wicked and cheating liars among us are able to get anyone into office as President of these United States of America other than Donald J. Trump, we will be seeing the suffering and climatic end of our civilization ramped up ferociously to allow the “evil one” the “roaring lion” from the bowels of hell to rise up and devour many unworthy or foolish souls before the final judgment arrives; of this material plane! 1 Peter 5:8 (ASV) “Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”

Valais Blacknose Sheep one of the most beautiful and gentle of God’s creatures!

I hope and pray that more of you out there are wise and loving of your Creator than I could possibly imagine, and that you don’t want to allow this darkness to overshadow all of the good that still is out there in or on God’s beautiful earth; because if you do believe and stand tall to these adversaries showing good faith, which God will allow to serve as a penance, giving special graces to us to soften and reduce much of the suffering that is on the way to destroy humanity once and for all! Please hear my plea and try your best to give up the things of this sick, corrupted sinful world and put all of your hopes and love in God, who loves you more than you can ever imagine, who is only seeking to ask you to remain by His side, in order to take you home to your eternal life with Him and all that is good; to be in peace, love, joy and happiness for eternity!

God Bless You!

Brother in Christ Jesus,
