The Devil Goes to Church

                 A Second Redux

It is significant to recall the devil does not mount any significant attack on barrooms. Everyone is already asleep there. No, the devil goes to church halls to quiet folks down and soften their power of Jesus, so as to limit and subdue further even deeper involvement with Jesus.

Tidal Rivers Come & Go

In Sarah Young's unprecedented, all time popular devotional Jesus Calling, she says Jesus abhors the use of guilt to motivate Christians.

Perhaps not strangely enough, I have personally listened to two totally pure guilt sermons. Once before I graduated from high school and again when I retired. I asked God then and still wonder why He showed me two such deliberately mirror guilt displays? 

From one end of my life to the other, what could be His reason? Remember, I do not believe in random coincidences. There is a reason for everything, if we know it, or don't

While the future is fading

And the Days are Dying

I neither own anything, I only control it for a time. All happy times are mere mementos turned to sadness by time. My visible life comes out of a seed and returns to a seed. 

Sideway time

All that time I grew like a flower, will fade and will fall as a flower. And all through everything, time is measured differently everywhere it is mostly the same, It just seems different, fooling me all the tune, every time.. 

Everything looks the same one way one day and gradually I see everything differently eventually, changing my mind as if each day the days are changing my   perceptions. Is it always just time, or really just me?

Judgement is the Lord's Business

Reaping the Sown

I never take an offense from anyone. The reason is simple, I do not want to be an offense person. So? I just do not take any offenses of any kind from any single anyone.

Of course offensive people are offended if I do not take their offenses, so much so they find it difficult to maintain their composure, I do not exactly know why, maybe it is because they are likely their own god, and I am not respecting them as god? 

I suspect as I think about it, who placed me as anyone's judge? I'm glad not me because if I judge anyone it would be myself. In that harsh case I would not be able to forgive myself. Now I am in a pickle. Never mind. My point is edging closer.

In the upper rooms

I note all flesh watches everything that moves. This is because not only is all flesh is governed by time, like a flower comes from a seed and returns to hollow seed. 

But it must be watched! This is important to survival. If whatever is out there is moving, we must watch! It is because if it moves, it might move toward us and eat us possibly while we are yet alive!

It is the same if whatever we watch we eat them instead, it is because we must to eat to survive. We are still on the same square, it is instinctual bedrock.

What has this to do with belief, all of us not of great belief, but somewhat gaining belief? 

Writing in the Sand

 A Tree is Known by Its' Fruit

My current belief that I am going to get what I believe is based on the famous quote a tree is known by its' fruit. 

In other words I get what I say, what I believe about others. Jesus said it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, it is what comes out. 

Everything is Saved n the Clouds

In other words speaking still further, I should not judge because it will be what I will get myself. If I can judge others then I can be my own god, all others stand aside.

If I harp on something I am playing the tune too often for a reason, and it will have to come obvious sooner than later. 

Favorite Quote for anyone unable to see the Spirit

All things seen came from the unseen.

Success is getting what you want.

Happiness is wanting what you get.

God's thoughts are higher

God Draws; Prophets Predict

God is not illogical, but to us He can make decisions that to me, to everyone to be truthful about it, make decisions that appear first flush to be fully illogical. 

But eventually God's decisions prove out to be perfection personified by prophets. Still not everyone is convinced of this however. However since God cannot negate Himself things are eventually seen best by all late arrivals to the scene, that is to say, us.

God places things in our particular hearts, those who are later called prophets. That is why it is said the fathers killed the prophets and the sons revered them, that is, the sons did with the benefit of their hind sight.

Then again what happens if they were to anticipate too strongly their hind sight straight into the place of their foresight? 

Next: Rules of my Road

I Will Get What I Believe

Everything was here and operating when I arrived. I didn't know where and I didn't know when. The creator was God, that is why He is who He is. God has laws. God cannot negate Himself. In the terminology of the ancients, God cannot not lie. 

He created and gave man dominion. That is why He only, can judge. I consume until my flesh tabla rosa consumes itself and I leave my shell behind and am born again based on my hope.

God conceives and so He has laws. Based on God's laws I have rules. My first rule is: no one can prove anything, except to their own satisfaction. I call my first rule faith. 

My faith is my hope, which is if I am successful I will get. But regardless of my success, my happiness will be if I want what I get.

Every question that I answer contains more questions than I successfully solved. So that the more knowledge I learn is that I am more ignorant than I originally thought I was. To be constantly edited  and continued...

The Flesh is Ringed by Time

Top Of the World
Mt Dundas Thule Greenland

My Spirit Steps Free 

Out of Time

Sometimes the spirit within drives the flesh without before its' time. The flesh must obey its' origin but the spirit is the origin. It is time now for my spirit still within my flesh to watch while my spirit resolves issues with the blind guides of the flesh. Until then.....as the old sad sweet song goes, I don't know where, I don't know when

Truth That Never Can Be Told

Those With an Experience Are Never 

at the mercy of  those with theory 

The Spirit deep within speaks only to each one of us and does not tell us any thing about others, or what they are to think or do. 

We each speak the words we are told by our spirit within, which cannot be held back. By this our witness is revealed. 

Words are powerful. They are the fruit of whatever spirit they describe. A tree is known by its fruit. Words reveal the spirit that drives them. They reveal more bout the speaker than anyone spoken to or about. 

According to Jesus the Christ, words that come out of the mouth can defile a man, not words that go in his ears.
