Confessing Christ

 I confess Christ before all no matter whatever. I believe He died on the Cross for everyone, preached to all those lost in the Great Flood, rose alive in the flesh and was seen before few and many, prior to ascending to heaven. 

I believe when He said that if we have enough faith, we could cause a mountain to be thrown up and hurled into the sea. I believe He is the incarnate Son of God, and one with God and the Holy Spirit. 

I believe the words of Jesus in Chapter 17 in the Book of John.  I believe in the Gospels and all the views contained therein quoting Jesus who wrote down nothing and spoke everything.  All He said was placed in the hearts of believers, survived in many writings guided by those moved by the Holy spirit. 

There is no other story that is so intricately woven, so complete and so unrivaled as the story lived by Jesus. Never has so much evidence been compiled, read written about by so many. I thank God for His Existence, and the existence He has spoken into me. 

Time Enters the Picture in the End

 Hard Giving Up the Flesh

It is easy to be born in my spirit, but it is not easy to separate myself from the flesh. The mind is supposed to control the flesh, but mine often permits excess. Living in change the flesh resists change. With some their flesh controls their mind totally, right into their unexpected destruction.

Few want to withstand the terrors of change. It is not the change itself but the getting there that is the real fear. Then, of course, when facing fear, we are weakening our flesh and endangering even possibly our spirit.

The flesh is short term, very short term. Everyone knows they will eventually die, but not today. Right there is the best definition of forever I think one will ever find. I wonder how time can fool us all so completely, like dreams in the night. 

There was a time when summer was forever only to change when school traitorously reopened. Soon we will all be lost as we cross the Sea of Lethe. All will be forgotten, and everyone will soon forget everyone else. That is the way of the flesh. What will be remembered in the future will very likely be different from the past. 

But if I have enough faith, anything can happen, so long as it does not negate faith and existence. Therein is my hope and my faith. I sense it is soon time for me to once again confess Christ before men, so that Jesus will confess me before God.

Random notes

Beware Leaning on the Arm of Flesh

I must be careful what I believe. I think it certain I believe what I think about the most. I believe what I say about others. It is there that I am revealing more about myself than I am anyone else.  When I talk I am taking the energy from somewhere, for instance, basically talking rather than writing.

So, I must be careful what I think or in particular, say, about others. It does not matter whatever happens or even actually happens. The most important reason we must forgive is for our own benefit. Whatever I hold against another, I am holding it against myself. The hardest judge one could ever face, is not God, it is oneself.

Steve McQueen was the first actor to receive five million dollars to act in one film. I am convinced also that actors deserve every red cent they may get. By acting out movie scripts, and so intensely as they do, puts them in whatever state the movie requires. 

George Sanders acted in many parts 0where he was bored and above it all, that in his suicide note he gave is reason for doing so, that it was because he was bored.

So I believe, by saying, we are believing. How much and how strong? As much and as strong as I do. Jesus said whatever I see the Father do, I do. 

When Jesus was on the Cross, He was acting out the value He placed on the seen world. It will not help you, He said.

Like a Cloud of Atoms

Bound Together by Spirit

If we believe strongly enough the idea has been presented by Jesus that we could do anything. When God looked down, He saw that man could do anything he had a mind to do, even walk on the moon.

What I am thinking is that it does not matter whether something ever really happens or not, has or will happen or not, it is in the believing that will make it so, if not already then, then eventually. When Jesus had risen from the dead after three days, He appeared to the disciples gathered in a room together. He just appeared. 

He could have passed through the walls, atom, or whatever, atom by atom. And like in a dream, He could appear or disappear. All because He was a Spirit in the inanimate seen world. The same way, during His ministry, when the people set upon Him, He passed through the crowd unseen and escaped capture. 

Lifetime in each day

Someone Watching Over Me 

I've always been fascinated by the drama that takes place every 24 hours or so when I work during the day, eating quite often it seemed, and then passing out in sleep. This is when I am closest to death as my systems slow down. I dream and it seems all so real. But when I awaken, from dreams I wonder how I could take it all in so real and believable. Looking back, in the seen world, it was not so. 

This drama is played out every day, every night, and I wonder what it all meant. Is it like a lifetime story giving me a hint of the future over and over for a reason? It seems to me to suggest my afterlife that will appear more real and unlimited.

There is a sense of power while believing in various scenarios. Many have these same devices appear in their dreams also, like flying, and like being invisible to closely passing danger. 

I argued in a dream with a fox as a child. 

His teeth were cutting into my ankle, and I told him while he was doing this that he was only a dream and not real. He said he was too real even as he was clamping down on my ankle. I thought then as I do now, that he was the devil. 

Among other later events I was convinced, I was drowning, and I accepted this, calmly thinking everyone would say I was so young. As I, exhausted while taking in water, was drifting helplessly to the surface, a voice came over my right shoulder telling me to try one more time. 

I answered "ok" as if this encounter was quite natural. My hand gripped the inner edge of a lip just under the top rim of the pool. It is hard to avoid the sense that someone watching over me.

Everyone Takes Their Own Responsibility

Reactionaries Have No Plan of Their Own 

The reason why I witness is not because I want to persuade someone or lead someone to Christ, it is to lead myself for my own benefit entirely. I am intent on existing and existing well. 

Anyone else who thinks I have a hand in their matter with Christ is mistaken. I am no way even an influence. When they observe some artist who was influenced by someone else it was really that they liked that artist They may have agreed or respected their work, but not due to their influence. 

Everyone has to take responsibility for their own decisions, they cannot compliment anyone else, other than themselves. Nor does it do any good to disagree with someone else. The only thing one is doing there is to give tongue to something they do not agree with, they are reactionaries. Reactionaries compliment and publicize work they do not agree with, but nevertheless are supporting it by doing so.

I myself tread in those waters from tine to tune, but I am relieved to get out of those puddles because, as it has been observed, the best way to clear the water is let it settle down by itself. 

Getting too inside the mind of God

In Over My Head

The Lord is merciful, and may His mercy endure forever, as it says in the Psalms. I wonder how it is that the Lord has mercy, but we, we make mistakes, such as I, and many, many others do as well. 

How is it then that we should be blamed and take the any fault for our being stupid. This is why I reason things out logically, logically to my satisfaction, trying to make sure my beliefs are well founded.

This is why I questioned the sick being sinners by virtue of being sick. I suppose they are technically. Some critics, I would call them, think that God has the divine right to do what He wants. We however should do as He says, but not as He does?

I see it as the Laws of Existence, these laws of God, and they cannot be violated without something being wrong. This would be self-negation. I am reminded, for whatever reason, of why the rich should be so pilloried by being faced with the difficulty of entering heaven.

If someone believes he, by his standards, is already in heaven why is it that he has so much difficulty? What about those who are so rich in education that they are treated the same as any other rich person? An educated person is saddled with many doubts, same as those with plenty of money. So the doubts make up the difficulty.

But now I am wandering, rather like a politician who cannot answer one question, slips over to another he thinks he can.

Living for existence

As Dead Men Out of Mind

When someone approaches death, they gradualaly realize they never owned anything. They controlled it but they never owned it. It comes to me from the Bible that we become as the dead out of mind. It is then perhaps that we get a glimpse of the unseen world.

I notice many speak with new knowledge and understanding. They have been drawn by the experience of losing the presence of their wives with new eyesight, and similarly for instance, they were completely fooled by time as well.

The seen world was alive for us, for such a short time. 

Theories still in the teacup

Teacups and Fairytales

Evolution is a very simplified view of the world. Nothing much has been done to it since it came about. I am somewhat amused at the species that have become un-extinct over recent years. 

It is a theory that explains itself by just happening. If something flies, then it is related to something else that flies by the virtual of the power of similarity. They just did it? Talk about closing gaps.

However, all species have to deal with the air, water or land. So, what is the link? The air, water, or land? And that is it?  I believe all things exist by way of the unseen spirit of existence. That is all we really know at this point. Nothing just happens. It does not happen just because it happens out of our unexplained necessity.

Ever notice how many species have two eyes, two ears, two legs, two arms, one nose with two nostrils? My view is that living things change, we can see that in ourselves, but I can hardly see how any view could justify jumping tracks from the ocean to the air on such short unimaginative reasoning. 

We instinctually have an intense desire to explain everything. It sometime causes us to leap start over the concept of God and sit in His chair pretending we know something, whatever it is.

We change alright but there is no evidence to link us to animals who have to deal with the elements the same way we do. I have always felt it was a debate that never got out of the teacup. 

God is Magnified

Power of the Holy Spirit

We come to God only if He draws us. This is the verse that cost Jesus many followers. It always fascinated me that this was so. With many everyone is alike, because everyone is the same to them. But everyone has even the hairs on their head counted, and that phrase tells me the many are all different. Anyway, what would the point be to count everyone's hairs when they are all the same number?

God's power is like magnetism. It is free and unlimited and expands to meet the situation needed wherever it is found. 

One with Jesus, one with the Holy Spirit

All One In God

When you see flooding the sky uncountable stars blinking everywhere, and at the same time know there are vastly more lights not yet reaching us, I wonder how were placed there, since it was not by many of us.

Still, there is much that we did not anticipate until recently, so there likely is much more yet to be known. We had nothing to do with their presence and nothing to do with the unseen suggesting more than we can ever conceive.

Many do not have answers for it all but have not only no answers, not even any questions. Yet some of us still elect to prance quickly upon life's brief stage confident there are no answers since we don't know the questions. 

Jesus brought knowledge of a Spirit. A Spirit not yet born within. It was the Trinity, one with the Holy Spirit, and one with God. John 17 

How I convince myself

Everyone writes 

For their own benefit

Putting my writing down is, I believe, is a good way to understand myself and work out new slants on ideas. I am certain when those who talk or write to convince someone else of anything, are really trying to convince themselves. 

I am trying to convince myself only, and I am not worried I might make a fool of myself. I never know what I might stumble upon.

I only write what I believe. If I ever think I may be wrong, then I will change my mind instantly. I believe it is important to write what I believe down, so I can see it objectively, outside my mind, and better see whether it is acceptable to me or not. It helps to un-muddle my mind and clear my roving eye.

The strengths and weaknesses of my views stand out more smartly when they are highlighted by me writing it all down.
