God of the Fantasies

I have reasoned previously that if one does not believe in God then they must of a necessity be their own God. Somebody has to be God, there is no way out of being without evidential information, but at least there is hope. 

Therefore, if being ones own God is anything other than being a God of ones own fantasies what can anyone otherwise say? Where can that kind of hope exist? Did we invent ourselves out of whole cloth? Did we create anything before we even existed? We are without enough information of any relevance.

It seems to me that without hope we can only fall back on our fantasies. There is no information to support anything but fantasies. I could not even make them up. In fact this all comes to us totally as entire fantasies but one can at the very least, have hope outside ourselves. That is my hope, that I have a God of faith and the fruits of the Spirit. Otherwise, I wonder what kind of fantasy as ones own God that could be?

Praise and Worship

It is true I only know, and that for a physical certainty as well, that my flesh is not only weak but is in control beyond all fleshly contemplations. Just by itself alone I have extensively wasted a large portion of my generously allotted time beyond any justification I can deny.

And yet I have been favored with several unexplained epiphany-like experiences that cast any knowledge I did have beyond acclaimable appreciations.

And yet I feel unexplainedly favored by it all. So, without further concern I will try to describe just how and why one anyone like myself praises God and completely glories in worship. 

I do not feel so independently apart from God that I can carry any doubts of how I was designed, let alone made. The sheer wonderment of what we know of the universe is no only outside my area of expertise, it is obviously outside anyone else for that matter.

One has to read certain of the Psalms to absorb the awe accompanying worship of not only the Creator of the universe generates but the very conceiving of it. One has to simply value existence I would have to suggest. Living without hope is totally unbearable in my view.

Enough faith, enough belief

Working out my acceptance... 

I can sense conscious intricacies of life dancing around me as much as anyone but just why or how, I cannot say. However I suspect there are those who do and do much more than I.

I envy them their praise and their worship drawing me into their inner fountainhead that attracts me I do not quite know how. How they must love God and His effortless intense concentration of love and forgiveness. There is a secret here that is not a secret, acknowledging faith as a capable power beyond my own concentration.

I believe Jesus when He said that if I had enough faith I could move anything, even fountains into the sea. I am not putting a limit on faith, just my envious inability to do the same. 

I also believe Jesus when He also said to the sick woman do you believe I can do this? When she answered yes, Jesus said, then let it be done onto you according to your faith. 

Some point out that God does not heal everyone. It is not God who did not, it is those who could not accept their healing. In any situation such as this I know automatically that it is myself who is at fault, not God.

 Am I too anxious the enjoy the faith based celebration of physical healing before the full graduation of my body into spirit?

Praise worship and gratitude

 With Moses came the first books of the law but with Jesus, as the final sacrifice, came love, forgiveness. grace and all the fruits of the Spirit. 

With Abraham came faith, but it was Moses who questioned God about who He was that the people should believe what God told him to say. No report such as this could carry such powerful weight. So in Exodus we have God's answer how He wanted to be known for all generations.

The question I ask myself is how and why I should respond. My primary reaction was and continues to be gratitude, even an all engulfing thankfulness. Why I am not fully sure. Some I believe focus on praise. I can see why as praise lifts oneself up even as praising lifts  up God. Others glory in worship. 

I suspect there are many who feel uncomfortable, a misunderstanding I suppose because they do not have a strong enough foundation to have an appreciative belief. They have their hands full.

Jesus forgives....

I particularly love God for His Existence and for the existence He has spoken me into. Prophets predict when God places ideas in their hearts. As for me the reason I believe I was burdened with so much logic is that thru it I became a victim of the fallacy of the misplaced authority. 

So I became a witness to the blaming of God for the errors of men. It is an embarrassment for me now. So, therefore now, I am a partisan for testifying before men my love of God and Jesus' promise that if I do this, Jesus will speak for me before the Holy Father Himself.

The most important thing for each of us is....

..anticipating the vital move to the spirit and into the permanent present.  My spongy sense of time tends to fog things up nicely. But there came a time when I realized time had been fooling us all. Even so, Paul  urges us not to lose heart, since even tho our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For my momentarily, light
afflictions are producing for me an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. This, in his second letter to the Corinthians.

Anger is a sign of weakness

 Love is a sign of strength

If anyone is angry they are being negatively impacted from forces outside themselves whereas if they are responding with love, any negative involvement is then more likely heaping coals on top of their own heads prompted by their own original negativity.

The flesh wil not help us

My flesh must be born again, out of the flesh and into the Spirit, before the flesh decays and returns to the unseen.

My primary concern in life

Increasing My Faith

Above all else I want to experience greater faith and a closer relationship with Jesus who was the first to explain God as predicted by prophets in the Old Testament.

I may not have as much time left in this embryonic stage of my life as it appears to me now. Time manages to fool everyone into thinking we have plenty of perceptual time in front of us. But I will soon find differently one day as my body continues to decay with increasingly unexpected speed.

The books of the law in the Bible came through Moses but grace and truth came through Jesus.

Do it yourself God

There is no way around it. If there is no God then somebody has to be God and the tabla rosa unbeliever is it. And that by itself is the a self defeating original sin.

Being born by itself is original sin because we came out of original sin which was desiring to be God by
choosing the tree of knowledge. 

To be God is one who knows everything in the present tense , what was, and what will be from never beginning to no endings. Welcome to AI!

Going to Heaven

World at the Dead End?

How is it so few want to go to eternal heaven, hanging on for dear life to their increasing rack of bones in order to stay here? It was the same in the womb. Based on what we knew in the womb we had it made. 

Now based on our decaying flesh we don't mind leaving this world, it is just we don't like getting there.


Many are convinced there is nothing beyond this life, but we thought that in the womb with the story we had  at the time that far. I believe now the next transition is going to be beyond all conception since all things now
seen came from the unseen.

A tree is known by its fruit

God, I am that I am,

 Spoke Everything into Existence 

and is the author of all existence.

Man, desiring knowledge, was driven from Eden. Thed law was given by Moses but Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ, according to John 1:17. 

God said how He wanted to be called, as reported by Moses in Exodus 3:14 this, I am that I am, was His name forever and to be His memorial through all generations.
