Turned 66 in August of 2019, a little over a year into retirement. Now live on my farm in southern Missouri Ozarks. At this point I have 4 daughters and 8 grandchildren and 3 dogs.

Resolutely Avoid Intelligence That Proposes to be Artificial

I’d wager that Johann Strauss would be turning in his grave if he could see his beautiful Blue Danube right now. How about the mighty Colorado, which has spent the last several million years carving out the magnificent canyons of the Southwest, and is faring no better? As the Colorado morphs into silent steam and disappears into the arid desert sky, Lake Mead which gets its water from the Colorado, is almost down to the point where it won’t be able to supply electricity, but not far down the road will be deadpool where no more water will pass through Hoover Dam. 40 million people in the desert Southwest depend on Lake Mead for all their water needs.

The thing I don’t understand is that folks are just standing by and watching all the demonic data centers being built at an astonishing pace and they consume vast amounts of our precious dwindling resource, water. Do we just stand and watch as the last of our fresh water is being stolen? I’ve mentioned on other posts that I believe data centers are actually temples to false gods that the wealthy guys are building in repayment to Satan for their wealth. It was part of the deal they made when they sold their souls. But John Q. Public didn’t sign the deal and it’s his kids’ water that is being stolen. Does he speak up or does he just do nothing as the rich thieves use their ill-gotten wealth to forcibly take his family’s future? Paying off local politicians to apply eminent domain to steal citizens’ property for power lines and site locations?

Not one person has been able to make a cogent argument that there’s any benefit to the public at large from AI data centers. They’re not really even trying. I just turned 73 years old and I’ve had opportunity to see how diligent and even desperate public relations narratives are crafted, especially by the authorities. I’ve seen how much work they put into building a false narrative such as the events of 9/11 or the downing of TWA flight 800, both of which are blatantly false, but they nevertheless TPTB put out volumes of false information to sell their propaganda. This isn’t happening with data centers. The wealthy who ever engage in duplicity and falsehood have seen just how easy it is to sell fake stories, and they are growing sloppy in developing their narratives – like the Charlie Kirk killing and the Butler, Pennsylvania false-flag atrocity that likely got this abomination of a president elected. In the case of the data centers, in which it looks more and more like they really need to come up with a narrative that elucidates some public need for them, they’re not even trying. They just mumble incoherent things about jobs – which only last through construction – taxes – for which traitors like Greg Abbott of Texas remove the tax requirements – but never even try to make a reasonable-sounding argument for why the public needs these travesties.

Ungainly abomination on the Texas desert country

If we just take a moment to stop and consider the true costs of these horrendous temples to Satan and then compare that cost to whatever benefit might be implied for having them, I’m pretty sure that any thoughtful American would insist on having them dismantled. Having a new research and surveillance tool for fat deputies who will have more time to siphon down donuts by not having to actually solve crimes – with AI doing the heavy lifting just doesn’t seem to me to be a reasonable justification for this comprehensive threat to our Constitution – especially the fourth amendment. It is however, enough justification to bring law enforcement onto the side of the demon-possessed rich guys who are paying fealty to those demons and law enforcement’s just what they need to keep the citizenry at bay – for now. Our governments, local, state, and federal are abandoning our constitution and Godly principles at an astonishing rate! Instead of using highly trained and heavily equipped SWAT teams to address public disturbances, they’ll be sending battalions of militarized cops to chase down someone for wrecking a flock camera or posting something unfavorable to Israel on social media. That’s where we are, folks, and it’s gonna get a lot worse. A time will come – and is closer than you might think – when patriotic Americans will face the harshest of persecution for damaging or destroying a data center, but I can think of no greater act of patriotism that could be committed by a citizen concerned with an impending water crisis upon his countrymen. We need to start posting the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights on every street corner – especially this part “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Whatever the argument for data centers, it does not, nor can it, comport with the provisions in this document, and it is becoming more and more incumbent on the citizenry to comply with its remedy..

It’s rapidly coming down to a situation in which the rich (and thereby Satan) will have absolute control of the whole population, and this doesn’t just apply to America – it’s taking the whole world by storm. We are at an inflection point now in which we can choose to try and whistle past the cemetery and hope this ship will right itself without our having to get involved, or we can stand as men against something horrifically evil coming upon our nation(s). Peter Thiel is hoping you will continue to do the former – at least until he and his ilk gain the total control they desire. That is exactly what will end up costing you everything you ever hoped for – for your and your family’s future – assuming this world lasts long enough for anyone to make a difference.

The water shortages, wildfires, floods, earthquakes, wars, and other tribulations will only grow worse with time in a population of people who have collectively turned their backs on God. Too many of our fellow travelers have already opted to sit quietly or even support the travesties, genocides, sins, and immorality taking place. The other option could save us – putting our trust in Jesus Christ would be the most providential wisdom for our woes, but the further down this dark passage we go, the deeper entrenched the forces of evil become in our societies. Christ has become to many to be some religious notion for which they just don’t have time, don’t believe and ironically, He’s the only solution to our problems. We have to take time for Jesus Christ. When we choose to do otherwise, we seal our own fate – that of tribulation in our lives in this world but for the one who rejects Christ, life (if that’s what you call it) in the next world will be abysmal, indeed. But it’s your choice, He’s waiting – not sure for how much longer, but you have the opportunity to get to know Him if you do it now. Spoiler – it’s worth the effort to feel His blessing in your heart – even in this life!

Meanwhile the AI data centers continue to be installed apace. Just remember what an old half-educated hillbilly tried to share as best he could – that these data centers are not at all what they’re being sold as. They are some of the evilest projects on which mankind has ever embarked. We must do whatever is necessary to shut them down – God will be on our side as long as care is taken not to hurt another human. It’s time to take a stand. At the very least we must pray for God’s intervention.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father fins and keep us.

Approaching the (Finite) Limit of American Endurance

How much farther will we be able to travel on this journey? Are we able to infinitely submerse ourselves into the depths of delusion until our very biological and psychological functions become unable to cope with such threats as we are presently enduring or soon will?

Lake Mead is steadily emptying and will bring about unimaginable hardships when it gets too low.

Regardless of the hope one may be able to muster in the (un)likelihood of someone somewhere discovering a reset button that could take our earthly existence back to the heady days of the seventies, please this sink in – it ain’t gonna happen! This whole planet is on an irreversible trajectory toward destruction and it’s happening sooner rather than later. There are several impending disasters simply biding their time, Campi Flegri Volcano, Lake Mead water depletion, deadly heat waves across the whole northern hemisphere, nuclear war, Cascadia or San Andreas or New Madrid, take your pick. Any one of them alone would be a catastrophe of Biblical proportions, but there’s a better than even chance more than one of these disasters, possibly several, will come upon us simultaneously. Think Great Tribulation. God has a complete arsenal of weapons (both conventional and cosmic) at His disposal with which to address our malevolence.

Alliances, such as this new one between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye, are starting to materialize, and older ones like NATO are morphing into different shades from their original designs. No matter the stripes of new world organizations, it would seem that due to the US government’s fealty to the genocidal cruelty of Israel, we are pretty much on the outs with everyone. Who’d have thought that among our newest and most hated enemies to have emerged, former allies like Canada, Denmark, and Mexico would be not only among them, but at the fore.

It seems that each and every day some big sledgehammer whacks another MAGA voter upside the head as more and more of them begin to understand that their gas and grocery bills are indeed connected to Donald Trump’s policies, and the intoxicating euphoria of allowing their racist tendencies to dictate their political support might not have been such a good idea after all. It seems that the red states who elected this regime are now the ones who bear the brunt of losing food stamps, health care, etc., while Trump and his billionaire friends throw galas down at Mar-a-Ghetto that would make the Rothschilds blush. So far Trump has been able to keep the Epstein debacle under wraps, much thanks to the now-infamous Louisiana senator Cassidy whose vote ensured Todd Blanch’s confirmation to be AG, and thus the Epstein files will continue to be kept safely from the public as a result. Wonder what they have on Cassidy to get his vote? Wonder how many MAGA Louisiana voters will be able to connect the dots – probably not a lot, after all they are convinced that the god they worship blessed the country with Trump, or so they say.

The US is coming apart at the seams – we have the data center crises, droughts, wildfires, we look to be on the brink of revolution etc. Do you think God – the real God – might be trying to get our attention? There are more and more preachers – some few of them real preachers – crying to high Heaven to get people’s attention to awaken them to the fact that we, as a nation, have turned our backs on Him and these calamities are exactly what happens to a people who choose this approach. We are a people who have almost completely abandoned our spiritual roots, and most folks scoff at those who suggest that we’re headed down a long, dead-end road that many nations have tried many times before and ALWAYS got the same results. The ONLY path we have which might result in our betterment is to turn to God and repent of our evil ways. We must repent of the immorality that is so rampant throughout our society. We must repent of aiding a totally criminal country in its genocide of an innocent people – that country will pay dearly for persecuting the poor, innocent people of Gaza and southern Lebanon, and the USA will pay dearly for supporting them. If the reader happens to be one who hasn’t spoken out against what our government is doing in the Middle East, you might want to go on record – God’s record – as not being in support of the genocide travesty. Many souls will burn in hell for supporting the synagogue of Satan who are bowing to Baal and flying their star of Remphan and starving innocent children. May God the Father of Jesus Christ smite them where they cry at their fake wailing wall – there will be some real wailing when the Ashkenazis finally realize they haven’t fooled God with their deception. They might fool the world, and have to a great degree, but they will never fool the One who counts. The more of us who speak up against our nation supporting greedy Ashkenazi imposters, the better our chances of overthrowing their yoke on our government. By the way – am I the only one who believes this ICE debacle is an invasion by the IDF? No? After all, why do they wear masks? Why are their brutal tactics so similar?

Make your voice heard. Let your senators and congresspeople know that you will under no circumstances vote for any of them who take AIPAC money. Let them know that you will under no circumstances vote for any of them who cast their vote to merge the US military with that of Israel. Look up how they voted on that one bill (NDAA section 219), and that should tell you all you need to know about how treasonous our politicians are willing to become to appease the Ashkenazis who pose as Jews in Israel and in the US. ALL House Republicans except the venerable Massie, plus five democrats in the House. None of those yes voters should be allowed to be reelected. Ever! Those cretins in Israel are publicly laughing at the stupidity of Americans and nowadays even to publicly brag about their control of America – and Trump and the sycophants in his administration say nothing!

While keeping up with who and how much these slimy politicians are working for Israel, don’t get caught up too much in their bait-and-switches – before that NDAA vote hit the floor, the Israelis already have control of the US military but if they can keep us arguing about whether or not they voted for this Satanic bill, we lose sight of the fact that Israel already controls of our armed forces, even without this phony bill! We were apprised of Israeli control of the pentagon by General Wesley Clark back in 2003 when the Iraq invasion was brewing and the Greater Israel project was coming out of the Zionist closet. So by participating in the argument over the NDAA vote and its giving Israel control of the US military, you are tacitly (and ignorantly) admitting you believe America still has control until that bill is signed into law.

It’s a different slant on the same tactic they used about Charlie Kirk killing – when they mention something about Charlie being shot on some news article, they intend for their viewers to accept the foregone conclusion that Charlie was indeed shot without allowing the discussion to actually get into the argument over whether some other method of murder was used. People (especially those who had prior experience planting explosives in communications devices) need for us to believe Charlie was shot to try and keep us off the trail of what they really did (with explosives). Why would they pave over the whole scene where evidence might be found if not to hide what really happened? The same as when they present a fake story about whether Epstein killed himself, Trump had him killed, etc., etc., the main point is for you to sink into some meaningless argument which always presupposes that Epstein is in fact dead, which I do not believe for a minute! There are videos – presumably of him alive and well on the streets of Tel Aviv.

C’mon folks, if a bunch of people from another country can bomb and bring down three skyscrapers in Manhattan killing thousands of American citizens and use their control of every institution of US government to get clean away with it, faking the death of an important MOSSAD asset like Epstein would be child’s play for them! They have assets at every level of the American and state governments and do not hesitate to use them when they have to get their own off the hook like that creep who got busted in the child sex sting out in California – once it was discovered that he was Israeli, he was promptly given back his passport and allowed to go home to Israel. The rest of the suspects were presumably charged and prosecuted, but not the Israeli – it would seem they’re above American law, and as in the case of 9/11, they’re above investigation too.

Netanyahu changed his name to that from the Polish Mielekowsky so it would sound Jewish – because he is not Jewish at all! [Revelation 3:9]: “Indeed I (JESUS)will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.” I have heard that DNA tests are not allowed in Israel, presumably because the people living there who call themselves Jews would find out that they have no Hebraic DNA at all, regardless of what the false prophet John Hagee – and others of his ilk – might say. So by supporting the current interlopers who occupy Israel, you are in no way supporting people who are Jews in reality.

America returning to God would necessitate our disassociation with everything that calls itself (today’s) Israeli or Zionist. Our country has been taken over by the synagogue of Satan, and many Americans are going along with their evil ways and it needs to stop, lest we share in their punishment. We have to start by neutralizing the power of Zionist billionaires who own our government and start electing politicians who share our concern for America first! For one thing, none of the rich Zionists came by a dime of their fortunes honestly. They sold their souls to Satan! I’m old enough to remember a very often-asked question about the relations of the Nazis and Jews during the second World War, which was some iteration of “Why did they hate the Jews so much?” Oddly, you don’t hear any version of that question anymore – from anyone.

There are more man-made and natural catastrophes queued up for our destruction than we realize, and all of them are waiting for God to unleash them on the world. Hang on to your faith in Jesus, folks, it’s all we have. But then, it’s all we need. Stay true to your servitude to Him and you’ll receive your reward in time. So for now, by all means and with every ounce of your being, trust Jesus Christ for deliverance from this wicked world. He’s waiting for each and every one of us to do just that.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

How to Win the Game by Halftime

We got almost two inches of rain last night from a couple of fairly big thunderstorms that plowed across our neck of the woods and hereabouts. It’s so wonderful to get good rain this time of the year because it’s getting to be near that time when the autumn woods need rain to make all those beautiful colors as cool north winds begin to stir. If the weather is too dry in late summer, the leaves all just turn brown and fall, but when the rains hit just right, they get kind of waxy and shiny as they find the colors the Creator assigns to them. If you’re a follower of this site, you’ll already know this old hillbilly tends to wax poetic over the fall colors, and I don’t think this year will be any exception.

This autumn portends some different, ominous changes to the whole world, and frankly I don’t believe this existence in which we find ourselves is going to last much longer. Before you get your hackles up – and it’s understandable if you do – I’m painfully aware of the content getting published about needing to get prepared for hard times ahead, but the preparation this site advocates is mostly about spiritual preparation. In the end, being prepared to meet our Maker will be the ONLY preparation of any consequence and that realization must come sooner rather than later, because for it to actually work out to be of positive consequence it must be dealt with, and wholeheartedly if at all.

For the typical unbeliever who tries to continue straddling the fence between becoming a righteous follower of Jesus or simply living in the world and adapting to each and every kind of craziness the enemy throws at us, maybe you should look at this life like something you probably understand, like a football game. Yeah, think of this life as one big football game and right now we’re playing in the first half. People spend all their time chasing after money and good times and sure enough, just like touchdowns on the scoreboard, they’re racking up what they believe to be a big lead that will surely result in a win, and they tend to forget about that other half they still have to face. Most folks consider success to be about fancy homes and fast cars, boats, private jets, and whatever other items of instant gratification they can accumulate here in the first half. There’s a tendency to taunt us “losers” who appear to be falling further and further behind because of our quest to serve Jesus.

We don’t desire the same lifestyles as the unbelievers, because our “Coach” has given us some vision. We understand what’s ahead, and we trust our Coach who has assured us of victory in the next stage of the contest if we don’t get too worried about what our score looks like to the world in this half, but trust Him. Flashy cars and bank accounts only last until halftime – when your friends, relatives, and acquaintances lay you to rest and promptly start to divvy up all the things you “scored” as you erroneously presumed you were actually driving up the score. You came into this game with nothing, and you will leave it with nothing, no matter how much wealth you amassed during the first half. Google Jacob Rothschild; Sheldon Adelson; Dick Cheney. The game was over for them by halftime, and no matter what they had, they didn’t take a dime with them, and unless they took an opportunity to repent, they face a long and dismal second half indeed.

Just like the first half of this contest, which has varying lengths of time for different people, the second half isn’t really a half at all. It begins when we face our ultimate Referee, who will no doubt disqualify many from the contest entirely. He gave us the rule book and expected us to live by it, but we decided that we could rig the game in our favor – always outside the rules, so many of us gave no heed to them and proceeded to run up a score that would never serve to benefit us at all, for that second half was yet to be faced. That second “half” will last for all eternity, and it is when that unimaginable time begins that we will realize we actually gained victory. The other side will only then understand the depths of their loss. We will have won because we trusted our Coach, who taught us how to play a winning game and not get worried or excited about how dark things looked in that first half. We learned not to envy those with earthly gains that – to their eternal dismay – could never benefit them in the second half, but then they ignored the very rule book which could have taught them there would even be a second half. They did not prepare for what came after that big halftime show in which their great score seemed to assure them of victory, but alas for them victory was not meant to be.

When the “influencers” of the world keep harping on getting prepared, almost all of them are in one way or another talking about getting prepared for a future here on earth and how to survive some catastrophe in this first half of the game, but some of us are crying from the roof tops about preparing ourselves for the second half – listen to the Coach and trust Him, He’s saying that what’s important is on the other side and we should be preparing for that. We should have our minds focused on what we need and how we should live to get into the next life and stop worrying so much about how to survive in this one. The very first play of the greatest game is to make that decision to trust our Lord, our Coach, our Mentor, Jesus Christ. Beyond that is to try and live our lives in servitude to Him and to love our neighbors – even the foreigners among us. Play by the rules and thus avoid penalties as much as possible, and you will be playing to win – we must win – the alternative is too terrible to imagine, but the victory will be worth the effort we exerted on every down!

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Ode to an Ozark Autumn

I mentioned in an earlier post that I lost all of my old site content. I found this one in an obscure document file and reconstituted it – albeit a little early – for this iteration of Folkpotpourri. If you remember this one, you are definitely a long-time reader of this site:

Reach with open hand and open heart; take hold, if you can, those delicious hues of autumn sunset draped in lonely north wind mingled with bedraggled cloud, soon to be brooding for times of verdant summer mist, already near lost in forgotten stories of yesterday.  Indeed, yesterday, the stately woodland rang with melodies of summer, orchestras of wild birds and breezes generously blown from tame southlands where it is easy to imagine such ambience is nurtured.  Yesterday, where shadowy vines of darkest green wound grandly in a tapestry of misty treetops, trains of scarlet now cling to amber and golden hickory crowns revealing they indeed claimed for their own the loftiest boughs of the wood, as indigo and silent winds increasingly and incessantly coax them into a cumulative slow dance to the autumn symphony.  The autumn stage is set, hasten to allow these scenes of nature’s marvel into your memory, do not ignore the accompanying sound – aggrieved rasps of black birds, lonely and whispery whine of the grey squirrel; cold, clear water from unseen woodland fountains trickling over limestone escarpments, soon to be immobilized by icy silence in bounds of copper and yellow leaves.  Every roadway becomes a wonderland.

A great oak stands sentinel, watching somberly, attentively, as the furnace of summer wanes once more among the last few cauldrons of October, now interrupted by nights of cool mist wafting about starlit glens of intruding autumn shadow and whispering threats of rime to brittle, fallow leaves.  His watch unbroken through countless seasons, has once more patiently awaited the gum tree and sumac to emerge from sylvan dressing halls where the Master adorned them with exquisite gowns of profound crimson; they drink from deep, unseen vessels to another celebration of inimitable woodland hues.  Hordes of squirrels secret away for winter scraps of wild provender breathlessly scavenged among leaves, rocks, and prostrate moss-covered sentinels of yesterday.

Raindrops bide, percolating in low-hanging, leaden billows, at last to wrestle free and pitch to a bleak arid earth and to darken streams of dry stones patiently awaiting; blessed raindrops, to soak desiccated trails through endless thirsty hollows. Cold, autumn raindrops, to silence the crusty blanket of new-fallen leaves in expectation of the stealthy white-tailed stag; soon he will need the silence of wet leaves as he busies himself dutifully tearing openings in the fallow carpet to provide irresistible earthen patches to be searched out by does, in obeisance to the ritual that makes them this year’s concubines.  A seasonal urge will soon take him and for weeks he will pursue his regal posture of golden but waning autumn and brook no interloper into his realm.  He has no choice; his role is assigned by the Master.

In the coolness of the October night, as a full moon assumes command of the celestial ocean above, coyotes gather to discuss in shrill voices those pertinent notions of interest only to themselves (and perhaps the bobcat), but in nocturnal earnest, as shadowy breezes drift over a moonlit landscape abundant with small prey lurking fearfully, silently, and most intently eavesdropping on the conversation.  Ignoring the crazed chorus of coyote howls, secretive night birds take notice of the changes in weather that are upon them.  Occasional hoots and rustles in cool oaken boughs hint of their disdain; indeed, some have, in fits of irremediable insult, even departed to spend winter in climes greener and more amenable. 

On most afternoons now, a murder of raucous crows stationed along the edges of the wood take up hurling insults and name-calling; not at all pleased with nature’s effrontery.   Through tears in the dark clouds, rays of silver sunlight reflect from black feathers, perhaps illuminating, perhaps illustrating their displeasure at the way of things.  Their antics and curses go unheeded however, by the autumn wind; it has chosen to stay and it will, mirth or grief of irascible birds notwithstanding.   

The Wealthy Want the Whole World – They Can Have it!

I’m as guilty as the next guy about posting doom and gloom, but not without good reason – things are coming to a screeching halt. At least most of the ways of life we’ve taken for granted over the last, well over the last years of our lives. Things will never go back to being “normal”. Normal for me was how I remember the seventies – graduating from high school and striking out to join the Navy. I was able to go see a good bit of the world, enough to understand that people and places might be far apart on a map, but those people and places aren’t all that different. People generally have the same needs and desires everywhere. Big cities, no matter where they sit are huge sewers for the most part as seen through the eyes of a backwoods East Texas country boy. Big cities are where rich people congregate.

Rich people the world over are typically a bunch of disgruntled, spoiled wastrels who typically inherited their wealth (although there are many who stole it themselves) and would like to make everyone else as miserable as they are, quibbling over whatever pennies might get into the hands of needy folks while at the same time trashing out businesses, buying luxury items they don’t even need trying fruitlessly to elevate their cheerless moods. There was an old Porter Wagoner song eons ago about rich people not ever having a satisfied mind, and it’s so obvious, but then I don’t think I’d be living a very happy life knowing what’s going to befall me (as do those guys) when this life’s over, but hey – it’s their choice. Meanwhile, they construct data centers, invent bionic robot people, engage in lifelong, hopeless efforts to find or invent something that can make them live forever so as to circumvent what’s gonna happen to them when they join Sheldon Adelson and Jacob Rothschild roasting with the demons of hell, all the while doing their utmost to make decent people as miserable as they are.

At the behest of their father Satan, they are compelled to attempt to take control of all the peoples of the world and it’s pre-scripted and prophesied that they will do so over the vast majority, but the part that irks them to no end is that there are still many of us commoners who are Christians and our allegiance is to the real God. There’s nothing, not squat, they can do to upend the believer, up to and including ending our lives. There they are in a catch 22, if they figure out a way to implement their Noahide law project, and they are making considerable progress, then they will be able to summarily execute believers in Christ, which has the net effect of sending us to Paradise to be with our beloved Savior earlier than would have otherwise occurred, so aside from the physical act of ending earthly lives of believers, the damage they will have done is less than minimal. Martyrdom for Christ is after all, the absolute, surest way to guarantee the victim receives an eternal reward of Heaven, so the enemy ironically by his action sends believers on to where they want to go anyway, just faster and with far greater surety. And the rich guy who developed this genius plan in service to Satan will just stand there, I guess, knee-deep in blood and gore trying to figure out whether or not he just punished or rewarded someone, and whatever new malice he can achieve, while the souls of his victims at last go into Paradise, never to worry or regret or experience pain or fear ever again. The believer will go to a place of indescribable joy and peace, so the enemy is effectively just left chasing his tail.

Maybe the wealthy servants of Satan can have some solace in the fact that there will still be great numbers of commoners who have chosen not to follow Christ, so they will still be available to torment and scare with silly things like “total surveillance” and social credit or whatever other nonsense Satan can contrive. Perhaps that will be some consolation, but without ever achieving the most desired satisfaction of robbing believers of their salvation. It cannot happen – not to true followers of Christ. [John 28.29]: “And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.“

So cheer up, even in these worst of times here on this old world that is growing more hellish by the day we have something much greater to which we can look forward. The planet is simply beginning to feel the results of abandoning God. There are heat waves and fires consuming some of the worst offenders of the ways of God. These maladies are not unexpected, John was shown they were coming: [Revelation 16:9]: “And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.” The very water of the earth is drying up in all the places where it is needed most, while vicious flooding is drowning people elsewhere.

While the wealthy people of the world are still jet-setting to some secretive palace where they can still find their perverse enjoyment, buying pleasure islands and what not, they are sure to still find time to bring catastrophe upon the decent people of the nations. Data centers, flock cameras, mass surveillance, any and everything they can contrive to, as mentioned earlier, but probably not enough, make regular folks as miserable as they are. Fear not, if you choose to be a believer and follow Christ, even though you probably don’t enjoy watching them selling their souls, knowing what’s in store for them, but you do not have to follow their paths. Do not envy the rich, he is in for a horrible eternity – he knows it and that’s why he can never be satisfied, no matter how much earthly gain he accrues, but nevertheless he keeps collecting wealth in the hopes that somehow the power that comes with great wealth will against all odds bring him some perverse satisfaction. They can – and regularly do – buy law enforcement, politicians, even militaries, to enact their heinous agendas which ultimately come down from Satan. We cannot defeat them with violence, our weapon is simple, but immensely more potent – the love of God. When we have the love of God, we have everything, though we have no earthly riches at all. Remember that – we have access to something of greater potency that all the riches of all the wealthy men – the mighty men – in the world, something they can never attain to – eternal life in Jesus Christ.

Times are pretty rough right now and they are going to get much worse before they get better, but trust me, trust the Word of God, they will get better for us who choose to follow Jesus Christ. If you haven’t made the decision to let Jesus guide your life, do it now, lest you find yourself on the same wayward side of things as the evil rich people of whom this post speaks. Do not wait until it’s too late, we common folks are what Jesus refers to as the salt of the earth and He loves us immensely. He is willing, no matter what kind of background we come from, to forgive us for our past mistakes and make His abode with us in our very hearts.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Blessed Are…

Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. [Matthew 5:8]

Are we there yet? Are we absolutely sure we’re not holding anything back, avoiding any uncomfortable issues we haven’t faced; can we say with full confidence that we have poured the last drop of guilt on the ground at His feet and asked fervently for His forgiveness? Is there anything left hidden that we choose not to lay before Him? Are there several or at least more than one degree of “pure in heart”? Pure in heart sounds like it’s absolute, either you are or you’re not, and in the context in which the Lord speaks this, He seems to be implying such. If there are degrees of purity however, then they must grow as one spiritually matures, thus whatever level of purity you have indicates the level of clarity with which you “see” God.

What does Jesus mean by being able to see God? We know from the Scriptures that it is impossible for a human in physical form to see God and continue to live. It costed Moses dearly to just catch a glimpse of the back of His form. That event was probably the extreme limit of what a faithful human could ever endure by seeing God, so how does Jesus mean the pure in heart can see God? The Savior of mankind who does not, cannot lie said we would be able to see God, so it has to be possible somehow. Being able to see God in the context Jesus mentions also must be a tremendous reward!

Jesus said the gate is wide that leads to destruction and that many will enter therein and the way to life is narrow, and few will find it, and also that purity in heart is the attribute that allows us to “see” God. Of the few who find the gate, will all of them (us) have attained the purity of heart that will give them that ability to see God? Do we understand the significance – the incredible reward – of this ability? The fifth chapter of Matthew is where the Sermon on the Mount is found in which Jesus lists the attributes of believers and their rewards. What a servant of God we would be if we were able to attain to all of them! This post explores verse 8 in which Jesus makes us this promise of the pure in heart being able to see God, but sometimes the notion is difficult – even for believers – to fully understand what He is saying.

Purity in one’s heart at the level Jesus addresses is absolute honesty with God, which, if you think about it, has pitfalls and shortcomings for most of us. There are scars on our consciences from past sins that we’d rather not revisit, pretending instead that they never occurred, but repentance requires our admission of all of our sins, even – and especially – the bad ones. We must find the courage to admit to those things done in secret that we’d prefer to skip over and pretend they never happened, and if that’s the route we decide we want to take, then we’re denying ourselves the opportunity to “see” God.

If we harbor doubts in areas of our faith as to anything the Scriptures require our steadfast belief, doubts such as to whether or not God loves us, especially with dark sins on our record, we are in doubt of our forgiveness, and that is an especially troublesome issue, but some of us believe the sins of which we’re guilty are of such a despicable nature that even the blood of Christ will not cleanse our soul, we must be reminded of this: [1 Corinthians 10:13]: “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man…” so your sin(s) are not as unique as Satan has convinced you, then what Saint John said [1 John 1:9]: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” All humans are subject to the same pitfalls, no matter how dark and repulsive they may be, but Jesus offers to forgive them so you can clear the hurdle of despair over whatever you’ve done being something no one else has ever done.

We are admonished in the Scriptures to fear God, and as we gain understanding of exactly Who He is, we cannot but tremble at His power and magnificence! He is truly awesome in every sense of the word; in fact, there are no words in any human language that could even begin to adequately describe Him! After all, He created everything – even the uncountable stars of the heavens. He is also a gentle and merciful God Who loves His human creation. From the first day He created man, He desired our company; our fellowship – that’s why He made us in the first place.

God gave us this bountiful earth on which to live and raise our children. He gave us all the animals, some to tame for pets, some to raise for food, and some to just enjoy – birds, creatures of the forest and such. There is a dark enemy who has tried from the very beginning to obstruct our fellowship with God, and unfortunately for the vast majority of mankind, he succeeds too often. We are all subject to the devises of Satan, and in order to maintain a healthy Spiritual relationship with our Father, we have to keep up our guard to avoid Satan’s pitfalls, but we still have further opportunity to get to know God and to see how we can enjoy His company in our lives. When we begin to understand and to experience the joy of His presence, we begin to “see” Him as we more profoundly experience Him and understand His desire to keep our company. We truly begin to “see” God.

God is by no means hidden from us. He sent His Son to guide us through this valley of darkness and to ultimately reach Him; to see Him. The only thing preventing us from fully getting to know – to see – God is our desire to live and thrive in this world of sin and shame. Many – way too many – people ignore the great sacrifice Jesus Christ made precisely so we could make our way to God through Him. We can experience the joy of walking with God, as did Enoch, as did King David, and we can look forward to one glorious Day when we meet Him in person. If you reject Jesus Christ in this short life we have here, you will forever be denying yourself the opportunity to “see” God. What a horrible loss!

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

When Life Falls Around Us

Download Mushroom Cloud, Atomic Bomb, Nuclear Explosion. Royalty-Free ...

For then there will be a time of great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. [Matthew 24: 21]

The world is barreling headlong into some horrible times and people who can anticipate them and see this tribulation bearing down on us are mostly continuing to ignore it. When Jesus Christ Himself says something this significant, everyone should open their eyes and prepare themselves as best they can. The biggest part of that preparation must be to answer the call Jesus makes to every one of us to dedicate their lives to Him and follow His guidance. It’s going to get extremely bad, indescribably bad, for mankind and we need to try and come to terms with it.

Try and imagine, if you can some of the tidings of a great tribulation: some places, probably entire countries will be destitute – lacking the basic necessities for life. Suppose that a nuclear exchange has happened and you are one of the pitiful survivors. Even in the first hours after such a horrific event, you will already envy those who did not survive. Whatever foodstuffs and water that are left will most likely be contaminated with radioactive toxins, but hunger and thirst will eventually drive you to consume whatever you can find – and pay the price. Radiation poisoning will be rampant, the few straggling, injured and burned survivors will all be suffering and violently ill, many to the point where they can’t even get up and walk – resigned to suffer to the horrible end lying on shattered concrete debris beside a puddle of poison black water which will be their end.

There will be no services, no government helicopters swooping in to evacuate the ill and wounded, all avenues of assistance will have been completely destroyed. If there are still places in the country – or the world – that still have any semblance of functioning societies, you can bet they won’t be concerned, they won’t even know of your plight as you lie in agony from the horrific burns all over what was once your functional body. Far away places will never be in contact with your city again. [Revelation 18:2]: “And he (the angel) cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!” Thick, toxic, black smoke will billow from every corner of your destroyed city. You probably won’t even be able to see anything around you except other piteous creatures in conditions similar to your own and such companionship of folks in that condition won’t do anything to encourage or alleviate your suffering.

Left unchecked, all the poisons that have been injected into the atmosphere during the last several years of “climate engineering” might have brought you to a similar situation, but after having breathed such contaminants into your lungs, your body is not able to recover from wounds and sickness as it might have been, so if you are to survive at all, your pathetic condition will linger much longer that it might have otherwise. There will be some few among the ranks of survivors who will be in better condition than you, but most will be in similar trauma, and some worse, but without medical help, none of those will last very much longer.

No birds will be left to fly across the leaden, windless skies, nor to sing their merry songs. The silent darkness of the day will scarcely be bright enough to discern the downtrodden, suffering survivors ambling through the debris-filled streets. They will be going nowhere in particular, like the Hiroshima survivors, there will only be small groups of bedraggled, tortured people, many blind, all burned beyond recognition, leaderless, wandering nowhere. Perhaps they will stop to drink from some dark, poison puddle, no longer caring that the water they consume might be fatal for them. They will be beyond any worry of death by then, in fact they will welcome the comfort of death. Life, as it was known in your city, is over. The following verses describe what is to become of the great city of the modern Babylon, but looks to be a nationwide future, perhaps even for a great nation like the US: [Revelation 18:22-24]: The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.” There is no other nation in the world that has committed more evil in the eyes of God than the US, so why wouldn’t this prophecy, or at least something similar, be directed at it?

Mighty men, wealthy men, our leaders who we all trusted to do the right things, were contriving precisely this situation for the people of the world whole they were having lavish underground structures built and furnished with survival necessities where they planned to ride this situation out, presumably to emerge and resume their lives of luxury once the air cleared. None of them trusted the word of God, Whose prophets and Jesus Himself warned of the oncoming tribulation, and the wealthy were certainly not excused! Their plight will be especially painful, for when these days come about, the Almighty will have become fully engaged. It’s not going to be pretty for the rich and the mighty as they scurry like rats to get to their holes: [Revelation 6:16]: “15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, [j]the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! But the Bible also speaks of a great earthquake, a more powerful one than has ever been: [Revelation 16:18]: “And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.” Maybe becoming trapped dozens of feet underground in the darkness with no way out will be the special punishment of the wealthy who brought these events upon the world, who knows? I do know that in the event of an earthquake of this magnitude, underground is the last place I’d want to be.

You don’t even have to be a Christian to see all of this coming, and you can believe what you will, but the words at the beginning of this post came from the mouth of the Savior Himself, Jesus Christ in the flesh. These things are what lies in store for disregarding what Jesus said about who He is and it will be painful for those who rejected Him as God’s Son at the final Judgement. Those who claim no religion at all and especially those (who are building demonic data centers) in avowed service to Satan (Molech, Baal, Remphan, etc.) will get the worst of it all. The godless world will indeed drink of the cup of the wrath of God, and it’s not going to go well for them.

Get right with God and commit the time you have left to serve Jesus Christ. Nothing else is worthy of your time now. Jesus is the answer to all of the problems upon us, and the spiritually blind will suffer for rejecting the Son of God because they chose to be blind.

May the blessings of the Almighty find and keep us.

Spiritual Enlightenment Cloaked in Insanity

I’m sure that by now anyone venturing into the ramblings of Folkpotpourri is probably convinced that the writer of these posts is certifiably insane, and they may be correct, but be that as it may, some of the content deserves a second look. The subjects addressed here are of importance due to their spiritual merit and the observations of the writer are taken from a Spiritual perspective regarding the rapid transformation of society and our (believers) expectations going forward. And by all means, go forward, never looking back or giving the enemy time to alter your take on things spiritual. He is crafty and if we are not continuously on our guard, he hopes to find a way to drive a wedge between us and our Father. Right now, his whole plan for mankind hinges on the probability that most people will just ignore what is going on. It has worked well thus far. The Spirit within us is able to keep us on our toes, but only if we completely trust Jesus Christ and follow Him where He leads.

Considering the aspect of insanity with which this post was introduced, it has been addressed on this site, and to the casual observer it does seem kinda crazy to think that the data centers being installed around this country are in fact demonic fortresses, or as I believe, temples to false gods. It seems that others are picking up on this fact as well. Folkpotpourri has posted on other public associations with evil entities as well. A while back, the CERN abomination was called out, as well as the satanic ritual performed at the opening of the Gotthard Tunnel in Switzerland. Folks, this Satan worshipping stuff is now out there in the open and is not to be ignored by Christians. There is great evil afoot, right out in the open for all to see. Ignore it at your peril.

Even with all the in-your-face evil in public today, it’s still too easy to look the other way in the hopes that all this evil coming upon the world will just go away – and lots of folks seem to just want to ride it out, but that’s not how the devil works! Normal people just looking the other way is how the entire upper (financial and political) tier of society came to be populated by the evilest of all humans. For crying out loud, the president of the United States is likely to be convicted of being one of the chief perpetrators of a world-wide child trafficking ring and has unrepentantly participated in some of the most despicable behavior imaginable. The pitiful, pathetic Republicans in congress are too terrified of what might befall their precious careers to go against this abomination of an administration and hold him accountable, so thanks to their cowardice, even the most insidious behavior contrived by the human mind goes unaddressed. Satan is indeed in total control and no more proof is needed than having as president a pathetic excuse for a human being who can utter nothing but lies (the language of Satan, remember what Jesus said) [John 8:44]: “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. Plainly stated, Donald Trump is the most prolific liar that has ever publicly spoken, every statement that issues from his mouth is a bald-faced lie, or some erroneous statement predicated on a previous lie. He is of a reprobate mind and is simply incapable of truth! And this same murderous abomination is he whom the wealthy decided to install into the presidency. The same wealthy who are installing their demonic temples that they are calling “data centers”! Same people! How could anything they do be anything but evil in service to Satan who gave (only loaned, but they don’t know it yet) them their (earthly) fortunes?

What are the social justifications for data centers? There are none, Zilch. What public good comes from them? None. Are there any redeeming qualities that will be advanced from these abominations? NO! The ONLY thing that improves from the installation of a data center is the bank account of the proprietor – it’s part of his agreement for trading his soul. When the authorities determine to resort to eminent domain to take some innocent person’s property for whatever might be needed to build a data center, they formerly were required to show what greater good will result for the public by taking private property, but they cannot show justification in that regard. Whatever city council members, mayors, governors, etc., that are approving these water-guzzling atrocities and the theft taking place to facilitate them are getting their palms greased, of that you can be sure. This is the sales of their souls, and they think they are getting away with it. You can trust that God does not forget such things and when a person or people of authority agree to steal an innocent person’s property in service to demonic temple installation, that person gets bumped forward in the queue line for his share of God’s wrath.

Are you a city council member who has just walked out of a meeting with a rep of some multi-billion-dollar tech corporation who has offered you a shiny dime for your vote to put in a data center? Have you determined that whatever lucrative benefit you can derive for such a bargain is worth more than your soul burning in hell for all eternity, not least because you acted treasonously against your fellow townspeople for your own monetary gain? Are you so spiritually deluded as to think the Almighty will withhold His cup of wrath from you when He metes out justice? Do you really believe He will forget, or overlook your treachery? There are obviously many who do. Do you not know that by their very nature these things are evil? If they were not so, then why are the very most evil servants of Satan the ones who are installing them. For crying out loud, folks, connect the dots!!

It’s time to stand up and be counted, for our posterity, for our fellow travelers, but mostly to show our Creator that we will not support such evil in our midst. Attend the council meetings; join the protests; do whatever you can whenever you can to make your voice heard, and do not allow the operators of the media drown you out. Remember, the same demon-possessed wealthy entities own the public media are the ones installing the temples to Satan at which you will one day be required to worship. The sacrifices are already happening – right now millions of gallons of precious fresh water are being siphoned out of US reservoirs and rivers as offerings to them, so everyone is already involved. Do you really think everyone would be required to offer such sacrifices so law enforcement can have your license plate number? This thing is much bigger than what they want you to believe – at least what they want you to believe for now. Later, as this thing gets established and entrenched, they won’t try to hide their real intentions any longer – they won’t need to, the threat of getting shut down will be over if no one has stepped up to stop them by then. We must do it in numbers too big for them and their ICE army to prevail.

As I type this, I’m reminded that simply by using the internet to publish a post like this I’m using the weapon of the enemy. The internet has many uses, but I’m afraid that as time progresses, most of the benign uses will be gone and only the evil will remain. We’ve already reached a point where almost everyone carries a cell phone, with powers we cannot fathom looking at everything we do and say. You see, Satan does not have access, as does God, to our innermost thoughts and feelings. He needs cameras and microphones and memory chips in computers to spy on us – and to store what he finds. Nor does he have the omniscient mind to retain everything that happens to us, every transaction, every conversation, every trip to Walmart. Satan must have some means of recording, and storing, everything we do. Considering that after we repent and are forgiven for our many mistakes God will forget our offenses, but Satan needs a data record of our wrongdoings to use against us when the time comes that he needs such information. When the record of your sin goes into a data center, even if God has forgiven the trespass, Satan keeps a copy to use against you – it’s one of his many ways to try and subvert God’s methods.

If you are a servant of Jesus Christ, you cannot support the installation of the abominations they’re (innocently) calling data centers. We must raise our voices as never before, if we are to show our servitude to Jesus Christ. There are just too many associations of this new dark technology with evil entities, and we have to take a stand – we have to let people know what’s going on even if they do think we’re crazy. It would be a great advancement for the betterment of mankind if for once we common folk could come together and take a stand against these abominations and rid our nation of them (and the people who want them). Some day we could look back and pat ourselves on the back for having done the right thing and taking out our pitchforks and torches to get something worthwhile done. Unfortunately, Satan doesn’t give up that easily and there are too many people in the world who are lovers of wealth and the devil knows who they are and how to buy them. Things won’t get better until Jesus comes back – but when He does, you best believe they’ll get better very quickly!

Until that glorious Day when we all stand on the other side of the river – in His Paradise, we can only do whatever we can to show our Lord that we choose to follow Him. Speaking out against evil seems dangerous – at least for anyone who believes that what’s going on here on earth is the real deal, but I’m here to tell y’all it’s not. Neither is the danger. Our real life starts the minute we step through that door – incredibly the threshold so many of us fear. The real danger is succumbing to this evil and not getting the opportunity to step through that door! This thing we erroneously consider to be our life is but a trial and if we get caught up in worry and fear of what the enemies of mankind might do to us, we’re falling right into Satan’s trap. Don’t get too excited about the happenings on this side. Resist evil with all your strength, but do not fear the evil one. Jesus gives us access to the greatest power in all creation – His love. Perfect love casts out fear [1 John 4:18]: “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. The absence of fear disarms the enemy. Don’t allow the enemy to take that love away from you.

May the blessings of the Almighty find and keep us.

An Asset of Great Value but Still Does Not Extend the Days

Patience – it looks like an ordinary two syllable word in the English language which supposedly denotes an attribute that most folks seem to strive for, but when one takes a second, more profound look at it, when we compare the word, or at least our individual definition of it, to what wise men of the Scriptures – including Jesus Christ – intended for it to mean, we might be surprised. Sometimes it even seems to have different connotations, each of which take a form of patience to try and discern what the writer, or speaker intends to convey.

There are instances in our lives in which we often find ourselves anxious for results in the ongoing drama(s) of the world we inhabit. There are political ongoings, wars, impending climate disasters, and too many other things to mention that some of us try hard to follow, and in almost each case, we have expectations, many of which we don’t necessarily want to see, but nevertheless for the most part we are anxious to know how things will play out. It’s important to note that different people have different expectations, or hopes of their preferred outcomes, and by and large, most folks – even many unbelievers – want satisfactory outcomes, but darker minds exhibit hopes of less than optimum outcomes – especially for their adversaries. When darker outcomes are in play, the unbeliever typically exhibits less patience, primarily because the unbeliever follows Satan, which means he knows his time here is short.

The Bible lists patience (longsuffering) as one of the fruits of the Spirit [Galatians 5:22-23]: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law., so wishing for ill to come upon our fellow travelers would definitely not be a satisfactory expectation for the believer. It cannot be the type of patience of which the apostle speaks when he lists the different gifts of the Spirit because the Spirit of God would never bestow a gift to His people which would allow them to wish bad things to come upon others. The patience Paul mentions is the quiet patience in which the believer abides in his/her faith awaiting the great reward of an eternal home in Paradise. This same patience is for the believer who works incessantly with fellow travelers, especially those who are unbelievers to show them the way to Christ – we speak the Gospel to them and patiently allow the Spirit to take them where they need to go. Another example of the patience of the Spirit is that instead of whining and feeling sorry for ourselves when we are under the weather, we pray to our Father for healing and patiently await His blessed touch to heal us.

When we are faced with scorn and mocking for our faith, instead of getting our hackles up and returning wrath for wrath, we turn the other cheek; we patiently pray for those who do not know better, pray that God will show them the same path we have been shown. That is what our Gospel has taught us. That is what our patience demands.

When a crazy old man sends out a post to try and encourage his readers in their Spiritual pursuits, he must patiently await some views (and comments) that indicate at least some of his effort is being rewarded. Most often this is not the case, but patience must nevertheless prevail. Since he has been convinced of the imperative of helping with the harvest, he patiently continues, and he strives to convince that in these end times more help is needed. The Lord has spoken: [Matthew 9:37,38]: “Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

Be patient, beloved friends. The wars being waged, both in this world and in the unseen realm, will end in God’s time. What our patience must consider above all else is that when we stand before the Judgement throne, we must at all costs be able to stand before our Judge with confidence that we tried our best to work according to His will. We must at all costs patiently wait to hear those words which will carry more impact, more value than any utterance that ever will have been heard by humankind, “Well done, My good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord”.

Impatience is one of the hallmarks of the human condition – and God understands that, but we still must wait for Him for all things. Even during the opening of the seals at the end times, the souls of the martyrs are anxious to see the avengement of their blood but are admonished to be patient a little longer: Revelation [6:9-11]:  “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.” It sounds fearsome from this side of the river, but the Paradise they (we) have coming will make that patience more than worth the wait, and the martyrdom as nothing to fear at all, but that will be realized once we see it from the other side.

Back here on this side, even though we are to be patient, the time is nevertheless growing short, and we have to grab our sickles and take to the fields.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Sacrificing to the Gods of Desertification

I remember reading somewhere about the comparison between seeing something terrible coming and watching a slow-motion train wreck and it caught on and now it’s popularly applied to almost everything, because it seems like everything happening these days is indeed something terrible. There’s a lot of unnecessary worry and fretting about events over which we have little to no control. Unnecessary because while we can’t control the events, we do – or should – have control over the worrying itself. If you are a regular reader here, you already know this author writes often about what the dark clouds portend; the impending drought and AI-induced water shortages, the increasing persecutions of not only Christians, but against any and all decent human endeavors, the enemy is laser-focused on retribution for those of us who dare to recognize and obey God by publicly devoting our energy towards the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

One doesn’t need to search very hard to discern the strategies of Satan in today’s world. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again – that the data centers being installed around the country and the world are nothing more than demonic temples built in an attempt to glorify the evils of the world. These idolatrous abominations already require extreme sacrifices to be made – our precious water, this irreplaceable resource that God put here for the use of all human beings, but the demons to whom Satan has bestowed their immense wealth consider all things – water included – to be theirs simply as a foreordained consequence of their wealth, gained by their service to evil. We will reach a point – and already have in a growing number of areas of the world, where the waste of AI data centers will compete with the need for drinking water. Think about it, it’s not hard to connect the dots from a dwindling supply of clean fresh water in Southern California and Arizona to the increasing demand for more and more water-guzzling data centers, and guess which of these choices all the government institutions, local, state, and national, deem to prioritize? Plainly stated: there is a finite amount of water available for human usage, and we are at a critical inflection point where we must – each and every one of us – make our own decision as to which institutions or entities will be allowed to survive – YES SURVIVE!

By ignoring such warnings and alarms right now while there might be time to make the needed course corrections, you are making your decision. By waiting for someone to appear and magically resolve these irreconcilable issues, you are making your decision – to do (or say) nothing. If you live in the desert southwest and stand silently by and watch billionaires lay wasteful claim to whatever precious water your children need to survive, you are making your decision and it’s hard to imagine how you can go to bed tonight and sleep knowing without any doubt what lies ahead for you and your families, your pets, your very lives. Folkpotpourri has published posts here and here and here on this impending disaster of the highest magnitude, but it’s like screaming into a padded cell. No one will do or say anything of consequence until they find themselves in a desert summer heatwave with no air conditioning and their house stinking of backed-up sewage without even enough gas in their car to even try to get away from it. One thing’s for sure though, when you end up in that or some similar situation, you’ll be wishing you had joined with others and stepped up back when something could have been done – like back when right now!

Think about it – the time isn’t far off when you might just end up in a tens, or hundreds, of miles long traffic jam on interstate ten trying to get several hundreds of miles further east where there might be water – even hot water that has been lying in a discarded plastic bottle in the desert sun would be as welcome right about now as a cool drought from the shady mists of Tahquamenon Falls. In such a horrible dilemma, you might remember reading in your Bible [Isaiah 41:17]: “The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the Lord, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.” God can make water appear – remember Moses and the rock. But by that time, you will realize that you might have waited too long to call on the Lord. Remember Him now, don’t wait until it’s too late. Jesus can guide you to wherever you need to be for the end times. It’s going to get bad – really bad: [Matthew 24:21]: “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.”

The prophecy is clear that in the last days some truly evil characters will arise and take control of the world. Satan has temporarily given them the financial backing to overcome most folks who will think, even in the worst of times, that somehow money will save them, but it ain’t going to happen. There’ll come a time when a man will be willing to do or give up anything imaginable for a simple drink of water. Believe it! Even in the afterlife water will be precious, but then it will be the rich man who will beg and plead for this exceedingly priceless commodity he once so smugly took from everyone else: [Luke 16:24]: “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.” The true value of their money will at last be exposed for what it’s really worth in the grand scheme – nothing!

There will be no water forevermore in that horrible place wherein the unrepentant rich man will be sentenced to inhabit the darkness among the demons with the dragon and the false prophet. Hatred will abound there and Satan will no doubt reveal just how vicious his contempt is for all – especially those who followed him in that short life for they will be the only ones present on which he can express his vitriol. Today’s leaders and mighty men of this world will finally understand how little their servitude was worth to the one who shows no gratitude – they enjoyed the evil, horrid fruits of their servitude during a temporary existence of wealth and immorality – now they are resigned to eternity of torment – neither will they will have any possessions there beyond their fear and hatred. Have you ever tried to contemplate what eternity really is? We humans can’t wrap our limited brains around such a notion, but it’s a long, long time. The word time itself doesn’t begin to fit the concept, for even time implies something with an end, but eternity has no end. They can’t even look forward to dying to end it. A whole different can of worms from what we’ve known in this life.

There’s a Kingdom we are offered in a place of joy we cannot imagine. Water will be abundant in the Kingdom, where the river of life flows through the Great City and the joy of paradise permeates the real world at long last – wherein God’s chosen will abide in eternal rapture in the hallowed presence of the Father and the Lamb. Beauty, peace, serenity, wisdom, and virtue beyond the capacity of our minds to contemplate, and it’s yours for the asking. Jesus Christ has tickets to this Paradise and He gives them to mankind freely. It’s actually spelled out on a white stone with a new name on it: [Revelation 2:17]: ““He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” – our personal invitation. All He asks is that we admit we made mistakes, repent from our faithless lifestyle and follow Him. We must trust Him completely because only He is completely capable of getting us where we need to go. There will be some rough bumps in the road, but that’s how He refines us, it’s how He teaches those of us who are willing to learn. He tests us to determine – not for Him to determine, He already knows – but for us to determine if we’re capable of total loyalty to Him. Somewhere on that long, bumpy road, through His blessed testing, we’ll find out that we can make the grade, and when that realization hits you, it’s a whole nuther life – literally! [2 Peter 1:19]: “And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;” Be patient and wait for that Morning Star to rise in your heart – it’ll be worth it!

Meanwhile, do whatever you can (within Christian limitations) to inhibit, prohibit, prevent the installation of the horrid data centers which will require such grave sacrifices to the demons who rule this world. There have been no sensible or rational reasons given for why humanity needs them – except to increase some rich man’s wealth, and that doesn’t even begin to qualify for the sacrifices being imposed on us commoners. Keep the faith, folks, it won’t be much longer.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.
