THE TWO GUYS


I Have a Plan

 
There were two guys who wanted to run the nation and each had a plan. The one who was the incumbent was a tax and spender (Reho) and when he spent all the money he swore he would raise the taxes on everyone and true to his word he did just that. So heavy was the burden that the people cried for relief but it was not forth coming and he had plans to raise the taxes even more for his plan required much more money.
 

There was another guy that also had a plan who promised to lower taxes and to stop all the foolish spending for things the people didn't want (Jero).
 

Things went from bad to worse and some of the people voted for the guy who promised better government and tax relief. Still there were those who continued to follow the tax and spender and it caused a split in the nation.
 

Then it happened; War! The part of the nation which followed sound economical practices were strong and the enemy didn't attack them but attacked the foolish tax and spender who spent his money on foolishness.
 

There was a nation (Egypt) who hated this guy and attacked his defenses and overcame him then they the took all of the riches Reho had left and made him their vassal.
 

The two sides were at each others throat continually and neither side prospered due to the strong disagreement between one with another. Finally GOD was fed up with both of them for they denied Him as their God and went after other gods declaring their nations to now welcome all other gods.
 

After this happened they were taken captive for they no longer served the true GOD.
 

They rejected the words; Exodus 20:3 "You must not worship any other gods except me.
 

Romans 1:28: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.   How foolish were those who disallowed GOD'S word to them!

POINT AND COUNTERPOINT



 

Conflicting information can be presented if done within the context of helping clientele develop critical thinking skills. Jones (1992) noted that critical thinking is "an alternative to making decisions by blind acceptance.

The term Blind Acceptance is an attempt to reduce faith to merely an mental exercise without any substance. When it comes to the Almighty God critical thinking is an attempt to completely discredit the narrative found in scripture.

The poet placed GOD in a more favorable context;   Psalm 8:1-6)

A Psalm of David.

"1 Lord, our Lord,  how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory     in the heavens.
Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
    to silence the foe and the avenger.


When I consider your heavens,     the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,     which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?
 

You have made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their feet."

 

The author seemed to be awe struck when he penned the words  

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 

Though David doesn't elaborate any farther for he is overcome by vastness and contemplation of the subject matter.

When he comes back to himself he states; "What is man?" 

Critical thinking is challenged to come up with a counterpoint to the idea that there could be a creator GOD. They like to use time as a component in their argument for the evolvement of what we see today. This argument starts with nothing. If there was something then it would have to be accounted for as to source which brings us back to an eternal creative force. Then there others who start with something without explaining what the source of the something is. 

There are two statements which people of faith hang their hat on so to speak. The first is "In the beginning GOD." What follows in scripture is too simple for the critical thinkers but in reality it is but a primer book of learning. The full essence of GOD and his works are not gone into and could not be understood even by those we have put up on a pedestal as our greatest thinkers. There is enough revealed to establish a basis for faith in the Almighty and that is all man needs to know.

A clue as to what transpired behind the scenes is given in; John 21:25  Jesus also did many other (Pre-creation) things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written.

Jesus the Son Of GOD was the creative force which spoke all of what we see and what we can't see also into existence.

John did his best to describe the immensity of what GOD has wrought when he spoke those words. 

The second is there will be a conclusion to what we see today. The Creator GOD will eliminate the negative and accentuate the positive and start over with those who will love the appearing of Jesus. 

Critical thinking is designed to allow people to think what they want and draw their own conclusions and live as they wish while GOD"S word's limits these actions to what he has said. Like it or not it's GOD"S way or the proverbial highway.

Satan has a counterpoint for almost every point GOD has made which caters to the lusts and whims of those who follow him. Whether it is marriage, peace, health, or worship,  he gives license to rail against everything GOD has proclaimed to be good.

When you buy into what Satan is selling you are rejecting what the creator GOD has declared to be the final word on all subjects. The time will come when the followers of the master of evil will appear before GOD and all of their arguments and justifications will vaporized before their eyes and they will stand before HIM in their garment of rebellion.

I for one would not impugn their right to chose the god of this world as their lord and master for GOD has granted them that right and who am I to try to rescind what GOD has granted.
 
I am limited to raising flags indicating they are on the wrong track. So this I will do in so far as I can endure the scorn that critical thinking requires to be heaped upon me.

WHY SOME PRAYERS AREN'T ANSWERED


 

(A message preached to myself)

I have heard some say (trying to be cute) “GOD answers every prayer. Sometimes it's yes, sometimes it's no and sometimes its wait.”

I have not been satisfied with that explanation for I think it is a self-serving copout. To me I take prayer seriously and am flatly disappointed when I don't receive the answer I'm looking for.

Prayer is a privilege with honor. A privilege extended to me by The Almighty that I must honor by not trying to abuse the privilege or be presumptive.

When you enter into prayer you enter the realm where warfare is waged.

It is important to know there is a difference between effectual fervent praying and just saying words and adding the tag line of "In Jesus' name."

I fear much of what people conclude is answered prayer is just happenstance and the way things played out. We as a people have bought into the idea that wishing is the same as believing.

Part of this reasoning is a product of scriptures that speak positively about answered prayer and the way we perceive them such as; John 16:23 Truly, truly, I say to you, Whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  

Matthew 7:7-8 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 

These scriptures and others like them present a truth that is seemingly simplistic but behind the speaker in every case is a story untold within the verse. There is the doubt and unbelief struggle faced against prevailing faith.

Being conditioned by times of distress can be a formidable foe against answered prayer. We may say the words while all the time doubting our prayers will be answered. Being defeated in prayer takes some time to get over so it behooves us to choose our prayer battles carefully.

Again I refer back to just saying empty words and calling it prayer. The difference in talking and truly praying is this.

To really pray one must have the Jesus kind of relationship with the Father. A relationship where you can say most assuredly I know you always hear me and the fact of being heard is synonymous with the prayer being answered.
 
Let's look for a minute at Romans 8:4-6  So that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.  

In these scriptures we see two mind sets. One allows us to live as the world lives without considering GOD'S rules for living at all. The other accepts GOD'S control over our lives. The one lives according to Satan's temptations, the other lives by the indwelling Spirit of GOD. 

When we come to the need of prayer the mind set comes into play and what some Christians find is they are trying to straddle the fence between the two mind sets of faith and doubt.  This becomes an admixture of walking after the flesh and being led by the Spirit.

The Apostles all warn against being double mindedness especially James the brother of Jesus.   James 1:5-8  If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. 

While are at it we might as well look at;

James 1: 14-16  But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death (unanswered prayer).

Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. When anyone presumes to do business with GOD they should have their ducks in a row so to speak otherwise they will be confused as to why GOD doesn't perform according to their interpretation of the scriptures.

For many the only prayer they should even consider praying is a prayer for forgiveness after repentance because of the way they are living.

Hearing the Right Voice


 

I used to go night hunting with some friends and we all had our hounds that went with us. It was a delight to ramble around in the dark most of the night and then go to work the next day with very little sleep. When one of the dogs would strike a trail the barking would begin and the interesting thing was we could tell which dog or dogs was hot on the trail by the sound of their bark. I could recognize my dogs by their bark even if there were other dogs barking along with them.  

Another amazing thing is, even with all the voices in the world once you become accustom to someone speaking over the phone you know who you are talking to. 

In the tenth chapter of St. John there is several verses that addresses the importance of recognizing whose voice  is speaking to you.  

John.10:2-3 "The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out." Through out this chapter Jesus emphasizes the relationship between him and the father and the shepherd and the sheep and the recognition of the voices.  

In the realm of the spirit it is essential to know who or what is speaking to you.

1 Corinthians 12:2 You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols. Paul speaking of the Gentiles past reminds them of the voices they listened to in the past and the results from following them. 

"Notice that He said in verse 3, His sheep hear His voice. He didn’t say His sheep CAN hear His voice or SHOULD hear His voice. He made the emphatic statement that His sheep DO hear His voice. Most Christians would question the accuracy of that statement since their experiences don’t line up. But it’s not what Jesus said that is wrong; all true believers can and do hear the voice of God; they just don’t recognize what they are hearing as being God’s voice." Womack

Jesus says in John 10:26-27 But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. Here Jesus contrasts those who are not his sheep and those who are. 1 Corinthians 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
 
There are voices from without and those from within. God can use all of them. It may be a word of wisdom from a friend, from a scripture, or more importantly from out of your spirit. The key is to recognize the source and then the validity of what you are hearing before letting it take on any importance in your life.

Isaiah received some good advice Isaiah 30:21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." This is another way of being led by your spirit in harmony with the Holy Spirit. When GOD speaks it will be Spirit to spirit. There will be an inside knowing of what is right.
 
This is where a debate commences between the mind and the spirit. There are times where the mind must yield to the spirit and is the time when you must have a trust relationship with your inner man.
 

There is another dimension to this subject and that is hearing the wrong voice. It will be like trying to listen to a radio broadcast and having static overpower the voice on the radio to the point you can't hear anything but the static. If you are led by your spirit instead of outside forces there with be peace. The question arises how do I know it is the wrong voice?
 
The first step is it in any way contrary to the word of GOD, if so it is the wrong voice. Second if peace doesn't accompany the consideration of it then it is the wrong voice. Third will it harm others due to no fault of their own then it is the wrong voice. Fourth is can you live with it and be in harmony with GOD and the world around you if you can't then it is the wrong voice.
 

Knowing the voice of the Lord is both an inherent result of being born again and a learned response by walking in fellowship with Him daily.

IS TRUTH IRRELEVENT TODAY?


IS TRUTH IRRELEVAENT TODAY?

The simple answer is yes because we now live and are controlled by political correctness. A given set of facts must be filtered through P C and then be given the spin treatment before anything can be judged to be true or not.

Jesus had a different view on the truth; in fact he said that I am the embodiment of the truth.  “Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth and the life.”

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him; “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 

In contrast to those who are Disciples of Christ we find those who worship at a different altar, the altar of the lie!

One could say the center of LIE-kingdom can be found in Washington D.C. where the worship of the lie is continuously performed twenty four hours a day.  There are those who infuse the world with lies whose origin is found in the heart of our leaders are all too obvious and constantly promoted by them.

The scripture speaks this way about them; “You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires.  He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him.  Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44.”
Adam and Eve are witnesses to this fact.
Even as the gospel truth sets you free; the lie places one in bondage and servitude whether it is a person or a nation the principle and the result is the same.
 
There are many who will participate in the coming election and the question at hand is who is the liar and who tells the unvarnished truth. This is the litmus test for those who are running. Those who are liars are automatically disqualified. It matters not what political affiliation they profess to belong to the lie will render them ineffective as a leader.

Choose ye well!

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.  Hebrews 4:12-13

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO WASH THEIR ROBES


 

 

Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city (the heavenly Jerusalem) by its gates.
 
Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying. 
 

The two scriptures above are a prefect example of contrasting statements.

The first speaks of those who are the redeemed by the blood of Christ and have free entrance into the New Jerusalem.
 

The second numbers some of those who will not be granted access to the Holy City.
 

This scripture came to mind when evaluating the candidates running for President of the United States of America. Among the number of presidential hopefuls were those who match the people named in the scriptures. One by one the number has been reduced effectively down to two candidates.
 

Those who had a strong testimony for Christ have been rejected and disapproved. In doing so America has rejected this strong Christian influence and leaves us with at best a nominal leading toward the Christian faith.
 

The nation isn't sure what they will get if one of the candidates becomes president.
 

On the other hand the other one who is running is obviously one who loves and practices lying. With that one the modus operandi is to deceive with lying statements.
 

Many find this to be acceptable and desirable. GOD"S word declares is unacceptable to the point where it is that which will keep the one who practices lying in word or deed on the outside with no entrance to the Holy City.
 

Chose ye well when you vote.

Three Enemies of the Whole Human Race


Made Alive in Christ
 
THE THREE ENEMIES OF THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE
Ephesians 2 (NIV) As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

All of us at one time were with them, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts.

There is an oft used phrase; "The world, the flesh, and the devil." This phrase rolls off the tongue very easy and in the process reduces it to an almost harmless saying. In fact this is that which has been from the Garden of Eden where man died spiritually. This event was so tragic that it took GOD himself to provide a remedy for the damage done.

The world, the flesh, and the devil is a three fold enemy of all men. Even in an unsaved state they fight against the sinner. They will do everything in their power to keep the sinner from coming to Christ and receiving salvation. It doesn't stop there, they continue to harass the Christian even after being redeemed. A brief look at these three forces follows.

THE WORLD or better yet the world system. At every turn there are temptations of every sort and they are promoted as being good. They have perfected the ways to stimulate the lusts that dwells within all persons. This alone inhibits Christian growth. When one hooks up illicit desires with guilt (even if one never follows through) there is a breach in the relationship with GOD. We are lucky if there aren't lasting scars left as a reminder of our failure.

Another aspect of the world's system is political correctness. Evil men pass laws and insist Christians to accept them as their gospel and reject GOD'S truth. The pronouncement that if it's legal it must be right is deceptive to it's core.

2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

When evil compares itself with evil the outcome is evil. The world judges it self and is found wanting for it can only gain acceptance but never the righteousness of GOD.

THE DEVIL Since the Devil or better known as Satan has been portrayed in cartoons as being impish and in people minds the true nature of this evil spirit has been nullified. He no longer is viewed as the destroyer of men's spiritual nature and sending them to the fires of Hades. Those who underestimate him are soon his willing servants. His captives are constantly doing his will and buoyed up by a myriad of spirits who were cast out of GOD'S presence along with Satan.

These evil spirits (there are no other kind who follow Satan) are constantly searching for someone they can possess. Without a body they are limited as to what they can do. All of the false gods are a product their handiwork through men they have possessed.

THE FLESH This is the area of our being where we are the weakest. It is where we scum to temptation.; Where lust is conceived, Where our wills are compromised.

It is where resistance to the leading of the Holy Spirit is the greatest. All sin is the product of the flesh. It is where pregnancy, birth, and nurture of the seed of sin becomes full grown. It will take control of the body to destroy it. It is the place where sinfulness comes to fruition and enjoyed.

It is where addiction brings the body into subjection to the flesh.  It is the hardest of the three evils to control and where spiritual warfare within the soul takes place.

There is only one way to control the flesh and the is to totally commit oneself to the word of GOD and the leading of the Spirit. This is pretty much what Jesus did when the devil came with all his temptation.

This is the end of my brief comments on your three greatest enemies.
Now as to resources; " The Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." Take advantage of the ministry of each of the trinity and you will make it through and hear; "Well done thou good and faithful servant" waiting at the end.

What is Man?


 

There are many struggles going on within mankind today. There are too many to try to categorize in this brief essay. I will mention just this one which is the biblical scriptures as opposed to what has been termed political correctness.

Admittedly the scriptures are pointedly and clearly defined when it comes to some subjects. One issue that is conflicted is the subject of “What is man?” 

Political correctness declares man is whatever one defines him to be while the scriptures take a narrower view.

Today there are those who have a long list of sub-categories as to kinds of man.  Homosexual, bisexual, transgender, and a host of other classifications.

The scriptural declaration is far simpler; from the beginning of creation, “God made them male and female.” For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife.

Any deviation from this pattern of life will bring on all peoples a price to be paid.

Christians would like to be excluded from having to be judged but such is not the case.

The scriptures further declare; He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

As we look around us we see confusion on every hand because those who reject the scriptural definition of man accept and take whatever persona that seems convenient and acceptable to those who are their companions. 

Hebrews 2:6  How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?  For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man that thou art mindful of him or the son of man that thou visit him?”

Covet Earnestly the Best Gifts

 
 
Covet Earnestly the Best Gifts
 
 
This may be the best thing you may ever hear concerning the exposition of scripture.

Anytime someone expounds on the scripture what you are being taught is opinion and only opinion.

Their teaching may be right on but to make sure for yourself, you need to study it out.

Now to my opinion on the scripture below.

1 Corinthians 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way.

Paul after saying this goes on and says love must be part and parcel of any and all of the gifts. He says without love the gifts are meaningless. That certainly elevates love to the highest pinnacle of the Christian experience.

As good as that is it isn't what I want to address.

The first six words of the scripture above have an important meaning of their own when linked together as they are. Study each of the words and let the full meaning of each as used here soak in till you feel their importance.

For instance the word "But." The word can have many uses but here it seems to indicate regardless of what I just said.

But seek, do not be passive concerning the gifts of the Spirit.

Covet, desire taken to it's highest level. Go after them and be a candidate for the Holy Spirit to use the gift through.

Earnestly, give it all you have. Don't hold anything back in your pursuit. The, Specifically speaking not randomly.

Best, only GOD knows which is considered to be the best gift but the one that is apropos to the moment would rank high with me.

Gift, GODS endowment for service.

Now it's your turn to analyze these words. There is an intimate relationship between the one endowed with one or more gifts, for you, the gift and the Holy Spirit are all working in harmony to accomplish GOD'S will in a matter.

Along with Paul I encourage you to: " But covet earnestly the best gifts" for it brings you into a more intimate relationship with GOD than you can experience any other way!

DON TRY TO BE DON QUIXOTE


 
Stare at the picture and what do you see ??
 
 
As a boy I used to hear about the story of this man who had became enamored by stories of chivalric romances and went forth to slay dragons of ill treatment.

Arthur Schopenhauer cited Don Quixote as one of the four greatest novels ever written and that is high praise.

I haven't heard anything about this “Want-a-be knight,” for many years. Perhaps it is because of the circle I travel in. In any case if you haven't read the story then do yourself a favor and experience the edge of insanity with him.

Getting back to real life; Christians need to keep their focus on reality and not going off to fight windmills. There are those who are afflicted with the Don Quixote type delusions and lead people astray.

They will do things like leading them out to try to avoid the end of the world by hiding in caves or putting on white clothes and standing on some hill waiting for the return of Christ.

Then there are propositions not nearly as easy to see through but just as foolish. When continually exposed to stories of non-existence battles they put forth; one isn't prepared for the real struggles of life when they come along.

Paul warned against such folly in
2 Timothy 4  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 

"For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

"Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience."

Don't fall for some off the wall scheme someone preachers but remain steadfast and true to the obvious meaning of scripture. 

There are two videos of the story of Don Quixote one is a movie and the other a bedtime version should you be interested.

But Ye Shall Receive Power


 
 




But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you! 

There are other translations that I find helpful in understanding this promise Jesus made to the born again ones. 

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. This says the same thing but expresses it a little differently.

These words were spoken by Jesus to the apostles and possibly some others.

The passage written by Luke in Acts 1:1-14 indicates there were many believers in the area. On the day of Pentecost they all received the Spirit's infilling or baptism and after that they were referred to as being Anointed.

Acts 10:38 speaks of the anointing Jesus had;  

"You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached--how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him."
 

There are two things mention here and perhaps we should read it a bit more carefully. Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power. This is all conjecture on my part but the scripture declares the believer is anointed; 

1 John 2:20 "But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth."

But in everyday life the power seems to be missing. When we come face to face with a situation we need both the anointing and the power and we need to know we have both.

We need this assurance in order to pray with authority. If you find yourself questioning your ability to get answers when you pray then it should help to understand the anointing you have as a believer.

Check out the site below, be sure to read both pages. This site covers a lot of what I want to say.

Who Yam I?


 
I yam what I yam what I yam what I yam what I yam
I'm Popeye, the sailor
I'm Popeye, the sailor
I'm Popeye, the sailor
I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam
I yam what I yam what I yam what I yam
I'm Popeye the sailor man!
 

One of the greatest discovery one ever makes is what you are. Some spend a lifetime searching and never come to the knowledge of who and what they are. I have known people who have said I'm trying to find myself.  
 
In some cases they know but are so disappointed they reject themselves and keep looking for a better me. This lack of acknowledging one self keeps them from ever accepting their personage and they project a created persona trying to be accepted or in some cases rejected.  

A Christian has the advantage of being defined in the scriptures. All they have to do is search them and they can know what they are and how to project that image.
Scriptures like; "I am the righteousness of GOD IN CHRIST and "I am a New Creation." On and on goes the revelation of what you are. Once you accept your self in Christ it becomes your normal to project that image before the world. 
 

Then you can sing with Popeye; " I yam what I yam what I yam what I yam what I yam.   I'm  ____________  the Christian man/woman.

It is Unbelievable Hillary gets a slap on the wrist.


Is this Justice for all or only for liars ??
 
It's unbelievable,

The FBI confirms - Hillary lied and compromised National Security
Then they slapped her wrist and said “no charges.”

I'm sure you saw the news today . . .

Despite finding 110 emails containing highly classified information, in 52 different email chains, the FBI has recommended no charges against Hillary Clinton for her dangerous email practices.

The system is rigged  – we must hold Lying Crooked Hillary accountable at the ballot box in November.


FBI Director James Comey described Hillary Clinton as "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information.

He even detailed how her terrible decisions led to huge security risks as she gallivanted across the globe.

She's careless. She's incompetent. And she thinks she's above the law. Yet no charges are recommended against Crooked Hillary.

Plain and simple: this reckless behavior should disqualify Hillary Clinton from the Presidency.

Unfortunately, the FBI's announcement today should come as no surprise. The system is rigged for the powerful elites like Lying Crooked Hillary.

That WILL change if Trump is elected to serve as the next President of the United States. But he needs friends to stand with him.  Can he count on your vote?

End Times





The federal reserve is in the process laying out plans for a form of digital currency.

Conversion of dollars we hold into a digital entry will put the people totally under the control of the government.

This will lead to the control of our food and once that is accomplished the powers that be will have fulfilled the prophesy in the book of revelation the entrance of the anti-Christ and the 666 control of mankind.

It is closer than we think!

THE NEXT CIVIL RIGHTS BATTLE


 
THE NEXT CIVIL RIGHTS BATTLE

“Many experts now view pedophilia as “a sexual orientation as immutable as heterosexuality or homosexuality…, a deep-rooted predisposition … that becomes clear during puberty and does not change.”

Change is coming; it’s only a matter of time. The Gay communities have won their victories and are continuing to demand more rights each day. The LGBT has already changed the method of determining the gender of a person from the obvious biological makeup to a purely psychological decision. There are no limits as to what LGBT can conform to.

They have several choices; male, female, both male and female or nothing at all.  Much like the Rico Law which has become a catchall for whatever the Justice Department wants it to cover the civil rights law is being used to grant the LGBT full rights to be whatever they want to be.

The next battle that is brewing is full rights for pedophiles and I suspect that Hollywood and the Justice dept. will follow their usual pattern and demand full rights to pedophiles.  As I write there are closet pedophiles beginning to reveal themselves.

There will have to be intermediate steps to be taken to change the populace opinions but the final step will be to change the law. The new law will be called something like  “Children’s Rights” and will protect the pedophile from prosecution.  Check the internet under “pedophile rights” and see.

COMFORT FOOD



 


 
Comfort foods may be consumed to positively pique emotions, to relieve negative psychological affects or to increase positive feelings.  Comfort food consumption has been seen as a response to emotional stress, and consequently, as a key contributor to the epidemic of obesity. Studies suggest that consumption of comfort food is triggered in men by positive emotions, and by negative ones in women. Wikipedia notes 

Seems like everything eventually is reduced to a psychological equation but as for me it is my appetite that longs for comfort food.  Now I must admit I get emotional when I think about certain foods but other foods just turn me off.  

Over the years my taste has evolved to the point where I now like some foods I used to dislike.  At present I like about 60% of what is considered to be edible foods (I exclude things like snails, squid, grasshoppers and other tidbits).  The basic purpose of food is nourishment but it also provides the secondary benefit which is comfort.

There is that glorious feeling of having satisfied ones appetite and the knowing you have fueled the body for further service.   This brings comfort to the soul and peace to the mind.

Metaphorically speaking the Word of GOD is spoken of as being food, albeit food for the soul and spirit of man.

Psalms 119:105 Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.

Matthew 4:4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

This applies to every man that has drawn the breath of life. If you are breathing, this verse applies to you, and if the Word of GOD is excluded - - you will be malnourished.

I had a dog and as far as I know he never tasted his food, he just scarfed it down when he could have enjoyed it by taking his time.  

In order to get the most benefit from the word of GOD it pays to take ones time, chew it slowly and let it comfort you. You are surly missing one of life’s great pleasures if you haven’t been comforted by GOD’S Word. 

Jesus said; John 6:48 I am the bread of life.   John 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.

Isaiah 55:1-2 "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come; buy wine and milk without money and without cost.  Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.

 

Truly GOD’S word is comfort food for your soul.
