It’s what we’re eating 

Our quality of life is related to what we eat, and I’m not talking about food. Our bodies eat what our five (5) senses put into it, and putting food into our mouths is just one of the five.

Just like our bodies get dirty being out and about, that same process is how the body eats without the mouth. When we pattern the ways of this world into our every-day’s, we’re shaping our lives to become that which we’ve integrated — good or bad. Our body through the senses is constantly sending data to our mind, and our mind helplessly draws it in like a magnet.

Too much of the same routine over time is what the body will soon resort to. This is called the formation of a habit, and can turn into a rut; having us feel as if we’re boxed in. If the body doesn’t get what it’s longing, it will magnify the effect trying to force our mind to cooperate, and if constantly giving into the stimulus, it becomes addiction. Example:

Once upon a time one beer could make you tipsy, but continue to drink beer, and one is not enough.  Once upon a time a kiss and embrace was pretty steamy in a movie, but today, it’s practically porn; it’s the same with foul language. Once upon a time TV went off at midnight, but today if something like that happened, the stations contact info would explode with calls. Why — because we eat that stuff, and have developed a want for more. No wonder we’re stressed, depressed, and feel as if we’re spinning our wheels; sinking, nervous and full of anxiety. “It’s what we’re eating.”

(1st John 2:15-17), tells us: Do not love the world or the things in the world because if anyone loves the world, the love of the God is not in him, because the only thing that’s in the world is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, and those things are not of God, they belong to the world, and the world is passing away and the lust that`s in it …There it is, the three things that keeps us taking one step forward, and two steps backwards; without the help of Satan, and certainly not of God; we’re born with it. I’ll explain.

The world can only offer longings for physical pleasure; wishes for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions.

The lust of the flesh consists of gratifying the want for physical pleasure, trying to please our sinful selves using fornication, adultery, incest, sodomy, and all unnatural lust; including the overindulgence and overconsumption of eating and drinking/gluttony and drunkenness, including drugs; reveling: aka [also known as], cutting loose or living it up.

The lust of the eyes is the love, allurement, and wishes for all the things we see that the world has, and can offer us; it consists of worldly objects that are visible such as gold and silver, houses, land, and all kinds of possessions, including fad piercings and tattoos: aka [also known as], bling-bling. The eyes of men are never satisfied: aka [also known as], covetousness – (Proverbs 27:20).

The pride of life is our ambitions; being overly proud of what we’ve accomplished; they consist of the achievements and assets we’ve acquired, such as the exquisite lifestyle of luxurious living, that’s rich in diet, owning costly apparel, having the choicest first class and upfront seats in places of assembly when there’s many in attendance.

This world and everything that people want in it is passing away, and in many cases for some, it seems as if it already has, but it’s kept alive by our passions for it. This is why when we indulge in the things of the world, we question; even scorn ourselves when we find out it wasn’t all what we thought it would be as we think back; rightfully dissatisfied with ourselves afterwards. Immediately empty feelings begin to persecute; why, because the lust of the world is dead. It offers pain, sorrow, and destruction; camouflaging truth with a mirage that can only deploy Satan’s will to kill, steal, and destroy – (John 10:10).

We’re quick to defend our mind’s imagination and thoughts, but – (Proverbs 14:12) reads: There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. The World battles for our mind because it knows its power, and weakness. The world tries hard to initiate beliefs that derail our innate connection to God. We’ve got to scan constantly what our senses gather, questioning and processing all data that tries to pull our anchor from God, so as not to be captured by responding to the deceptions that spark our vulnerability for the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life, and our defense of it; eating blindly what’s ungodly.

Get this understanding… In Jesus’ Name, amen.

The Walking Dead

Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world – (Revelation 13:8). What does this mean since history has it, He was crucified/slain only some 2000 years ago? Let’s take a closer look at this verse.

This verse reads: And ALL who dwell on the earth shall, [Meaning mandatory; no getting around it.], worship him, [him referring to the Antichrist].  ALL, is referring to the people whose name is not written in The Book of Life, of the Lamb, [Jesus], who was slain from the foundation of the world. Get it … before the World was made.

Again, ALL in this verse are the people who for whatever reasons remain Earthly — individuals that rather seek Earthly pleasures, profits, and honors. Too, they’ll also be known as admirers, and adorers of the beast consciously or not; [Beast — once more referring to the Antichrist.]. Their names are not written in Jesus’ book of people who are promised eternal life because they’ve rejected Him, plus His pardon, and chose to be Earthly minded instead. Or, as I titled, “The Walking Dead”.

Jesus being slain before the foundation of the world is a spiritual understanding, and truth. It’s known by believers who study scripture, that in the Spiritual Realm everything pertaining to, and about the Physical World/Realm has already been done. The reason is, there’s no calculation of Time in the Spiritual Realm, it’s an existence of yesterday, today, and tomorrow all at once — Infinite. The Physical World/Realm, is just a pimple inside of Infinity, and was completed when God rested – (Genesis 2:2,3).

Jesus was part of a predestined phase — sequence of the Physical World/Realm’s, reality concerning Man; chosen before Man’s existence to be slain if, and when this Man creation disobeyed God by rejecting Him, for what Satan had to offer through lies after he was no longer know as Lucifer, the cherished cherub – (Ezekiel 28:14), and – (Isaiah 14:12,13), but as Satan, the devil — and Man did just that. So, the physical manifestation of the predestined slain Jesus, only happened some 2000 years ago; fulfilling Spiritual prophecy’s table of contents relating to Jesus’ physical appearance into our World.

To make a clearer illustration, imagine this parable.

It’s known, they’re some places in the world where there is no crime, [I should say, very, very, very, very, little]. These places have one Jail built on top of a hill for all to see, and it’s always occupied, but still, there’s practically no crime at all, because if someone committed a crime, they killed that person in the Jail, and replace them with the new criminal. So, if YOU committed a crime, they killed who was there in Jail, and replace them with YOU. This works well for them, and everyone owned a manual of jailable offenses.

Let’s fast forward to today. Jesus was the man in that Jail, predestined to die/slain BEFORE the foundation of the world, but innocent of His crime. We committed every kind of offense, and they killed Him, but the power who’s over that kind of justice said, His death is not in vain — being innocent, but for them surrendering their physical life’s sinful nature for a new nature sealed from sin because of Jesus’ finished works at the Cross, or simply put, being born-again – (Ephesians 1:13.14),  ALL will be pardoned by this kind of justice; forgiven, and it forgotten, plus your name then written in a special book so you are saved come the time of God’s restructuring, from those who chose to take their chances, and face their offenses alone, with no hope for redemption.

Basically, if you receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, you’ll never die, your name is inside Jesus’ book, but if you don’t, and remain Worldly in spirit, you’re “The Walking Dead”. It’s just that simple.

Gaidi

Word of note: Lord Jesus, forgive me. For I know I’ve sinned, and I repent. I believe You lived, died, and rose from the dead in my behalf. Come into my life; write my name in Your book, and be my Lord and only Savior, in Your blessed Name, amen.

This prayer pardons “The Walking Dead”, making alive their mortal bodies; with everlasting life granted, and secured with Jesus for all of eternity, which He promises is unexplainable compared to anything Earthly in all its Majesty … What you say!!!!!!!!

Man is not an animal 

Man is not part of the animal kingdom, and it’s Man — who’s not all-knowing, who will try by saying different, to humanize God in saying it’s so. The only connection to the animal kingdom which Man wants to tie himself to, is in his teachings of Evolution. Man tries to have us believe we came from apes; if so, which ape, and why can’t all Apes/Primates evolve into humans? Every man knows who their mother is, so it should be quite simple for us to put our finger on what apes are our parents.

Man was created in the image and likeness of God – (Genesis 1:26,27), and God is not an ape. Don’t get me wrong, there’s the fowl — birds; there’s the fish — creatures of the sea/deep, there’s the beast — the animal kingdom, and there’s Man – Godlike; with dominion over it all – (Genesis 1:26), and – (Genesis 1:28). All birds act the same, all fish act the same, all beasts act the same, and man does too, but there’s one difference that separates us from the animal kingdom, and that difference is the ability to form concepts, and have freewill. No bird, fish, or beast, has free will, nor the ability to form concepts to expand its will, but all of life has the same gene that’s consistent in the physical realm. This gene is in all living things, including plants, tying the physical realm together, but not the species.

Man is the only creature who can live below or indifferent of his intended behavior, or nature, but animals can’t. We do this because we’re broken and don’t know how to be who we are – Human, so, we try to lower ourselves, to the animal kingdom too have an excuse to disbelieve God’s creation; yet alone He dwelt among us in the flesh as Jesus/the Word – (John1:14); showing us how to live as God created us — Human, separate from the beast of the animal kingdom.

Jesus in the flesh was a non-broken Human, and scripture tells us, as He is, so are we in this world – (1st John 4:17). Jesus didn’t live indifferent to His nature. He didn’t live as an animal, but as the Son of God, and we too are Sons and Daughters of God – (Genesis 3:26) in all image and likeness with power, and dominion over all thing in and of this world once again, but now through faith in Christ Jesus, so we no longer need to exist broken, acting sub-human, acting as animals; believing broken men’s lies.

Evolution is a lie, Naturalism is a lie, Atheist, your belief in a non-belief system is a lie. [Yes, atheist do believe, it’s just not in God.]

Let me add. All life in the physical realm were once vegetarians before the flood – (Genesis 1:29,30). God created, said what we’re to eat before the flood – (Genesis 1:29). Try to bite into a raw slab of meat without slicing it first Mr. and Mrs. meat eaters.

It is after the flood when life on Earth went predatory – (Genesis 9:3), and survival of the fittest was established as the norm. It was Man’s counterculture that was reason for the flood; his sub-human, beastly, and wicked imagination, was totally indifferent of his intended behavior becoming a broken prototype of his creation; as he also is today – (Genesis 6:5), absent of the image and likeness of our Father God, but a slave to whose job it is to steal, kill, destroy and devoir you – (John 10:10), and – (1st Peter 5:8).

Humans/Man has three species after Jesus’ emergence, they are male, female, and the born-again/saved with the later having no separation of race, creed, color, or sexual origin, and you’re not part of that third species of Man automatically; plus that’s a choice the animal kingdom of birds, fish, and beast can’t make; It’s a gift reserved only for Man/Humans.

Tattoos 

Have you ever noticed certain events of the day, for instance — a song you’ve heard, [especially the last one.] a jingle, a particular moment in time positive or negative, if so, you’ve been tattooed?  Yes, we tattoo are minds just like some of us pierce, and tattoo our bodies, and guess what, they’re permanent as well. There’s not a motion we make, or thought we think, that’s not captured, recorded, and carved/tattooed into our mind, and the ink is our five senses.

Scripture tells us every idle thought we’ll give an account – (Matthew 12:26), meaning, come judgement God’s going to plug us in; rewind our mind, including the subconscious, and review what has been imprinted/tattooed, and there’s no getting around it because it’s by design. Some of us re-live and review those “Tattoos” as if they’ve happened today, and some of us are still hostile about clashes which were won, lost, or indifferent.

“Tattoos” are scars that don’t go away, visible or invisible, and they’ll define who you are, and what you were about at the moment of imprint, and some of it ain’t good, because they’ll reflect the absence or disobedience of God in your life. These “Tattoos” bind you in that moment, and some of us stay there when we need to be letting go – (1st Peter 5:7), and – (Psalms 55:22); casting all our cares upon God, including mental “Tattoos” that are against His commandment of love.

God doesn’t want us suspended in a moment of time, because it’ll draw us away from Him, giving inroads to Satan and his demons; gapping God’s Will and Purpose; limiting Him to bless us fully.

When people refuse to mature, they’re living yesterday, enjoying the “Tattoos” that defined them as a child, and expecting today to be as it was, instead of learning how it is today so that new knowledge, new direction, and new accomplishments can reveal God’s Will and Purpose; not just for us, but for Nations too.

How is this done?

Get saved – (John 3:3).

Renew your mind – (Romans 12:2)

Have faith in God – (Mark 11:22).

Be obedient to faith and how it works, because you can kill it – (James 2:17),

And believe God when He said, He’ll remember no more, negative “Tattoos” – (Hebrews 8:12).

Seeing through eyes like a Gladiator

Gladiators know they must conquer to live another day. Every morning they rise, it’ll either be fortunate, or not, and immediately they’re aware of defeat, or be defeated. If they do survive, they’ll enjoy less than a moments peace, because of false hope. They cherish any glimpse of peace, and want it to last, but they know the demands put upon their lives because of wickedness evaporates any symbol of that hope.

What do you awake too? Are the demands placed upon you so heavy, life feels as if it’s only meant to survive, so you count the hours and minutes, before you can get to some spot you believe is peaceful, hoping the weight of the day is over, chores are met, demands complete, until tomorrow when it starts all over again? If this is you, you’re looking at life similarly through eyes like a Gladiator, and that’s not of God.

Scripture tells us we’re MORE than conquerors, (Romans 8:35-39). Let me paraphrase. Even though there will be trouble or distress, dealing with the affaires and circumstances of the world — persecution because people hate; too, even though they’ll be famine — needing the bare necessities of life such as food and drink, escorted by nakedness/poverty, and I could go on, scripture says, there’s more to life then these battles. There’s more to life than just surviving it; using a Gladiator’s mindset, which again is defeat or be defeated, because it’s contradictory to God’s intent for Man. That mindset is absent from God – (1st John 2:15-17), and – (Proverbs 10:22). YOU may know God, but your Arena may not. Your Arena may know God, but are they demonstrating it; you included, or is everybody Gladiators at first thought?

Jesus said, He came to separate mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers; even in-laws – (Matthew 10:35-38), and – (Luke 12:53); meaning, to remove you from the Arena, by the renewing of your mind if you believe – (Romans 12:2). Not to renew your mind is disobedience, keeping you in the Arena hoping to fight another day without any optimism, or lasting peace.

You can’t serve God with the eyes and mindset of a Gladiator, and I’ll say it once more, to defeat or be defeated, and God won’t serve you, because survival of the fittest, doesn’t require faith — it’s all YOUR effort, and disbelief in our two only Commandments that matter, which covers them all — love God, and love people as Jesus did – (Matthew 22:36-40), and – (John 13:34).

Gaidi

Word of note: To defeat or be defeated is not for Mankind, it’s for beasts; they inherited it after the fall of Man. And you can’t serve God appeasing those, or yourself who keep fighting in Babylon’s Arena with eyes to defeat or be defeated can you … Gladiator?

Baby Talk

Many of us throughout our day will speak many languages. Some, will speak languages of other Nations; but for many preschool teachers, and mothers with young children, they’ll speak “Baby Talk”. A slew of them will get so caught up with that manner of dialogue they’ll speak this way to everyone if they don’t catch themselves; it’s an association thing.

There’s a language spoken in the business world — Wall Street. There’s a language spoken by the Military. There’s a language spoken by the Building Trades. There’s a language spoken by the Medical Industry. There’s a language spoken on the Street. There’s a language you speak in front of friends and relatives. There’s a language spoken too, about your Enemies, and a language spoken in Private. There’s a language you speak in front of Parents, Lovers, and let’s not forget the Church; those specifically who serenade, and are caught up in self-righteous, non-scriptural, and false doctrine acts of religion; I could go on. How many languages do you speak throughout the day – “Baby Talk’, and how many must you listen to, surfing through their interpretations. Sounds exhausting? Well, it is.

Speaking the wrong language to a specific group, or a specific group profiling you by speaking a wrong language to you, is deflating, a lack of discernment, and disconnecting. Likewise, when it’s in your home; you just might feel like crying, why? Because too many of us who act like this, either don’t know, don’t know they don’t know, or if we do know, we don’t care, and it’s shameful. It’s not of God, It’s the languages of Babylon.

All the above-mentioned languages are the spoken bread of the world. Scripture tells us we can’t live by bread alone – (Matthew 4:4). Because when adversity comes, we’ll crack like cold suddenly meeting hot – (James 1:2-4). Get that wake-up call, or get hit with a reality check, then the languages of Babylon, or “Baby Talk”, is irrelevant; we’ll need God’s Divine intervention taught through His Word.

You’ve heard the church sing the song I’m desperate for you — desperate meaning hungry. We’ve heard the assemblies shout out for God. Jesus is the only one who defeated “Baby Talk”, the bread of the world; the languages of Babylon, established it through His understanding, and returned it to us with ingredients so when eaten, we don’t crack, or act foolishly in this Babylonian system. Those components in His bread are the workings, and word of the Holy Bible.

Each and every day we run the bread of the world through our body’s system searching for stability, worth, peace, love, and reality, and all that’s out there is baby food, and talk. Babies ain’t ready for primetime. Babies work you.

The true language is the language of the Spirit of God; it’s Universal, and not taught, or picked up – (1st Corinthians 14:2). It’s inserted when the Spirit of Promise dwells inside of you – (Acts 2:33). It’s an unknown tongue for God — not Man, and speaking it edifies oneself. It mends; moves mountains, obstacles, and famishes “Baby Talk”.

Scripture goes further to say, babies don’t know what’s right; they live on milk, they lack training, and are immature, plus incapable of digesting solid food, or recognizing the differences between right and wrong – limited – (Hebrews 5:13,14).

For the believers, our solid food is the Word of God; far from “Baby Talk”, with its ways of the world. The Word is the mature language of God; teaching true worth if your spending time with Him for your sanity, and not impersonating characters of the world.

But the majority of us run from the Word of God – (Matthew 7:13,14) like the Hollywood demon of Dracula from the Cross. How wonderful is it to be around mature adults? How uplifting is it to have real peace, and love. You’ve got to forget about playing the world game 7 days a week 24 hours a day, hoping and wishing life would be so much better if they’d just accept me as I am, but unknowing to you — a baby; then you’ll show them. They rejected Jesus! (John 1:11), and (Luke 4:14-30).

Trying to conform to this dying world is a fantasy. The real you — the you that operates this vessel called the body, is letting you know the truth; that’ll set you free – (John 8:32). In other words, get you ready for prime time. But the languages of Babylon, the “Baby Talk”, it’ll get you nowhere.

On what day was Jesus crucified

The Bible does not explicitly state on which day of the week Jesus was crucified. The two most widely held views are Friday and Wednesday. Some however, using a combination of both Friday and Wednesday, argue for Thursday as well.

Jesus said in (Matthew 12:40), “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Too, (Mark 8:31) says, that Jesus will be raised “after” three days. [For me, that means three full days, and three full nights, not partial days, and partial nights].

One of the principal arguments for Friday is found in (Mark 15:42), which notes that Jesus was crucified the day BEFORE the Sabbath — Preparation day. Preparation day is BEFORE every Sabbath — every weekly, every High Day / High Holy Day /or Special Day Sabbath.

The Thursday argument expands on the Friday view also, but some argue that there are too many events, [some count as many as twenty] happening between Jesus’ burial Friday, and Sunday morning. This view points out that the only full day between Friday and Sunday was Saturday, the Jewish weekly Sabbath.

The Wednesday opinion states that there were TWO Sabbaths that week. This Wednesday viewpoint supports that the first “Sabbath” was [the Passover], a High day / High Holy Day / or Special Day Sabbath, separate from the seventh day of the week Sabbath – (Leviticus 16:29-31, and 23:24-32, 39). Now, the High Day / High Holy Day / Special Day is not necessarily the seventh day of the week, but is a Sabbath as well, and no work is to be done.

Note that in (Luke 23:56), the women who had purchased spices AFTER the Sabbath, [the High Day / High Holy Day / Special Day Sabbath] – (John 19:31), returned; prepared the spices, then “rested on the Sabbath, [the weekly Sabbath]. The argument here is, they could not purchase the spices AFTER the Sabbath, yet prepare those spices BEFORE the Sabbath unless there were TWO Sabbaths.

With the two-Sabbath view, if Jesus was crucified on Thursday, then the High Holy Sabbath [the Passover] would have begun Thursday at sundown, and ended at Friday sundown the beginning of the weekly Sabbath or Saturday. Purchasing the spices after the first Sabbath [Passover] would have meant they — the women, purchased them on Saturday and were breaking the Sabbath. [Complicated]

So, according to the Wednesday viewpoint, the only explanation that does not violate the biblical account of the women and the spices, but holds to a literal understanding of (Matthew 12:40), is that Christ/Jesus was crucified on Wednesday. The Sabbath that was a High Day – (John 19:31) / High Holy day / Special Day, [Passover] occurred on Thursday, [Wednesday at sundown]. The women purchased spices [after that] on Friday; returned to prepared those spices that same day; they rested on Saturday which was the weekly Sabbath, then brought the spices to the tomb early Sunday morning.

Let’s do the math:

Jesus was buried near sundown on Wednesday, which began Thursday using the Jewish calendar — a High Day / Passover.

So, Thursday night [night one]. Thursday day [day one], Friday night [night two], Friday day [day two], Saturday night [night three], Saturday day [day three]. We do not know exactly what time Jesus rose, but we do know that it was before sunrise on Sunday. He could have risen as early as just after sunset Saturday evening, which began the first day of the week to the Jews. The discovery of the empty tomb was made just at sunrise – (Mark 16:2), before it was fully light – (John 20:1).

[For me, I’ll let the Holy Bible define itself. God made it just that simple].

Leaders

There’s a difference between “Leaders”, and bosses.

“Leaders” are elevated by God – (Psalms 75:7), and bosses are chosen, or elected by Man. Bosses see things from the arrogance of pride, but “Leaders” see things as they form up-to-the-minute.

“Leaders” are born, but bosses need training to lead. Read how King David was exalted by the Profit, as it is told inside the Holy Bible – (1st Samuel 16:1-I2); I could go on. It’s lonely being a “Leader”, but it’s lucrative being a boss.

“Leaders” don’t always get the prize, but they lay the foundation for the prize to be won.

“Leaders” are not put into leadership positions, it’s assumed; again – (1st Samuel 16:1-12).

“Leaders” are ahead of the norm/curve, but bosses claim they are.

“Leaders” must rewind to be in the moment, also “Leaders” are routinely misunderstood because of that trait.

“Leaders” are last – (Mark 9:35), and their day is long. People ask “Leaders” why do they do it, but “Leaders” answer — In comparison to what? People tell “Leaders” how others are exploiting them, but little do they know, “Leaders” can’t be manipulated.

“Leaders” don’t feel measured; they won’t ripple the water, but if blind eyes try to cross-examine them, they’ll just simply reshape the question so that those eyes are opened – (John 8:7).

“Leaders” are not feared, they attract. You don’t teach leadership, it’s exposed.

Leadership can’t be handed down. It first must be recognized, then shared, because “Leaders” don’t get into other “Leaders” way, for the reason that they all share the same core – (Titus 1:7,11).

“Leaders” are led, it’s just by that All Knowing, Almighty Power greater than themselves; that Power who knew them before they entered the womb – (Jeremiah 1:5). Some “Leaders” know this, and some soon enough find it out, or they’re a boss.

He’s There  

God is there. “He’s There,” and always has been. God is there even if you don’t know Him — like it or not.

Many can’t know Him because of some deranged forces in the spiritual realm; forces that are at war with you, whose job it is too distant you from Him, which is no fault of yours, because it happened prior to your birth; it’s the fault of Adam and Eve; so, the day-to-day teachings of how not to know God, is there; reinforced everyday by this world.

If you and I are friends, we’d be no less friends just because I’m somewhere else, but the distance may make it seem that way according to whom you’re listening. The world frowns upon long-distance relationships because of the difficulties it puts on emotions when wanting to be close. It’s only until that gap is closed that your love for one another can grow — they say, into what you knew it would be if they were here.

It’s like that with God. God first loved us – (1st John 4:19), and – (Titus 3:3-5), but we were too distant to realize it because we were listening to worldly stuff; worldly stuff that teaches us to be indifferent to God. This false detachment made things so confusing, and so hard to understand, because of the secular world’s tainted perception of God, which is proclaiming, and programming us with its phony, deceiving, and mistaken reasonings; marketed through its propaganda techniques.

The secular world wants to have all the answers. So, why is God, and who is He to me? That’s the #1 job of the secular world, and it’s to keep you/me forever in that frame of mind. But God keeps bridging the gaps the way He does, until He’s close enough for you to take notice – “He’s There.”

Once we understand “He’s There,” and His Capacity, our next step is to build a relationship with Him to not just know “He’s There,” but to understand His connection with us that we weren’t mindful existed. But how? I’ll give you one guess — time’s up, His Word. God gave us His Word, and that word was Jesus. Jesus is God’s Word in the flesh – (John1:1), and – (John1:14). God gave us Jesus.

Through Jesus, God’s Word becomes alive to reveal the truth between you and Him, Him and me, and He and us, and that truth is, God’s always there. “He’s There” on, and in you, and always has been, like white on rice.

If you trust your partner in a relationship, what they say because of love, even though you may not have a complete understanding about it, but know their track record is always having your best interest, you’ll trust them because of that love. Both your love makes difficult matters between you trivial. The success rate you unexpectedly found establishes your faith, and strengthens your love, and trust in them, but this partner is not your physical lover, it’s the person of Jesus, the word of God that became flesh in the body of a man, and His story is entrenched throughout the Holy Bible.

It’ll be faith in YOUR and God’s relationship that will unlock doors, level mountains, and make possible the impossible. The stronger your faith in God, the more you’ll see these things happening. Every path you walk, the sea/roadblocks will be parted, and the enjoyment of watching it occur can’t be measured. All you’ll need to do is follow/do obedience.

What once was a distant relationship — practically unknown, you gave a chance, and it got stronger, then it got closer, and lastly, more beautiful because He’s God, and “He’s there.”

It’s Not That Black and White

There are so many people walking around here self-righteous. I’m talking about those who are born-again/saved, as well as those who are not born-again/saved, but say they believe. And I’m talking about anybody else who’ll go around acting holier-than-thou — which is by the way, characterizing oneself as being absolutely correct, and totally convinced they’re morally superior, by nothing more than their own right, whatever that is, humanism is the word.

Come Sunday, many of us scamper to attend church service, when it’s over, and we’re done, we check It off our list as — got that in, and life goes on. Or, we don’t attend church at all but attempt to live a moral life because we believe it’s the right thing to do. Well let me tell you, “It’s Not That Black and White.” I don’t care if you’ve received Christ or not, your life’s habits will not change until you’re baptized into the Spirit, The Spirit called the Holy Ghost.

We’re self-righteous when we mix/compromise our everyday lives to conform with this world, but at the same time not ashamed to answer if asked, do you believe, are you a believer? Carnal is the word. If we’re playing by the world’s rules, mixed with some religion; were fine with that, and that’s the problem. “It’s Not That Black and White.”

God doesn’t regard the world’s way of life at all, or there would not have been a fall of Man. So, how are you living your life?

Do you have white wrongs that make you feel self-righteous over those who have black wrongs? Example: Do you watch movies that swear, rob, murder, and fornicate, but frown upon those that watch porn? One’s white, and one’s black, — depending? Do you smoke cigarettes, cigars, or a pipe if you’re a smoker, but frown on people who smoke pot? One’s white and one’s black. Do you drink alcohol, but frown upon alcoholics that have a tuff time with it? One’s white and one’s black. Do you tithe to a church that help the unfortunate and many more causes, but frown if your tax dollars do? One’s white and one’s black. In that last example, one is considered self-righteous, while the other is robbing the rich to give to the poor.

People, there is no black and white lifestyles. All of us/Saints that conform to the world are wrong, and the reason we can do it and feel self-righteous about it is because there is no conviction. There’s no conviction of the Spirit if the world/masses are in agreement with the way you think; making laws to enhance the imbalanced lust of the lost, so there’s black and white wrongs and lies, which is only thinkable without God.

It’s the Holy Spirit that convicts us – (John 16:8), and – (Galatians 5:17). No Holy Spirit, no convictions, so life goes on with its make believe black and white wrongs; powering self-righteousness.

God says nothing is good in the flesh – (Romans 7:18). So, which one is it? You feeling good about yourself — feeling self-righteous, or receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit that will convict you of ways not of God, so that you can change, so that you’ll renew your mind – (Romans 12:2), so you are changed, because “It’s Not That Black and White.”

Word of note: You can be born again/saved, but have no power. Not the power to be Mighty according to Man, but the power to overcome the world according to God. There’s no change on our own using will power, which is grounded in personal understanding. Something inside of you must work that change.

First, we must receive the Holy Spirit who’ll dwell inside of us as He did Jesus after He was baptized – (Luke 3:22) – (John 1:32) – (Matthew 3:16) – and – (1st Corinthians 6:19).

To receive the Holy Spirit — if saved, skip this first prayer, and say the second; if not, say this prayer first, then the second. If not sure at all, say them both.

Lord, I know I’ve sinned against You because I’m a sinner. I know that you lived, shed Your blood, died, was buried, and rose from the dead because You love me so. I confess my Sin unto You because I believe in You, and believe all You’ve preached to be true. I want to be delivered from all un-righteousness as was promised by Your sacrifice on the Cross. I want You to come into my life, my heart, my mind, soul, and my spirit, to be my Lord and Savior. I ask this of You Precious Lord – in Your most Holy, Sacred, and Blessed Name – Jesus. Amen. Or:

Heavenly Father, I ask that the Holy Spirit Come dwell inside of my total being. Baptize me with the fire, and with the Power that guides me in the ways of my Lord and Savior Jesus — Father God; with the ability to speak in the language of the Spirit/tongues, in Jesus’ Name, amen.
