They wait. They do not know what they’re waiting for, possibly for someone sane to come along and fix things, but no one dares to step up and suggest ways to do so. The irony of the situation is that everyone can see as plain as day what’s wrong, and thus have ideas as to where to start, but we look at it with the same trepidation as one is asked to lay his neck across a guillotine, the fear of repercussions keeps everyone in line. There are just too many threats to our social status, our financial status, and/or our standing in what passes for civil society for anyone to dare make a move that might flag them as someone who might pose a threat to the almighty system. The glaring fact is that our nation, in fact the entire world, has turned away from our God and things aren’t going to get any better – in fact they are going to get plenty worse – until we seek His favor. When we decide to seek God and come to Jesus Christ, we become a threat to the system – but so be it.

One day a long time ago, there was this itinerant preacher – at least most of the crowds to whom He preached thought He was just a preacher, or rabbi, but He would prove Himself to be much more – who roamed the countryside around Galilee and Capernaum telling people of a new Covenant. He spoke of a kingdom which had come upon the world into which He was inviting everyone to enter. There were, as of His appearance, a new set of rules, a whole new Way of life for men to adopt, that no longer required the religious practices which God had required heretofore, and when the theologians of the day compared what He was teaching to what the prophets of old had prophesied, the serious ones realized this was no common itinerant preacher, but that the very Son of God had come to them.

He taught them that the old laws they had been trying to follow could not avail them of a proper relationship with God the Father and gave specific examples of why this was so. For instance, until His time men had been taught to exact vengeance – an eye for an eye – upon their enemies, but this Jesus taught that a more perfect resolution of dispute would be to forgive someone who wronged them. This new attitude was based on a completely alien approach they had never practiced it was, and is, based on love – the most powerful force in all creation, but hitherto unpracticed as a way to interact with others. Love was, and is, absolutely underrated as to its efficaciousness in human dynamics and in the resolution of human conflict. Other aspects of the old law, He explained practices one by one, which were shown to be not only impractical, but impossible for men to follow to the letter, like a man looking on a woman with lust in his heart being just as bad for him spiritually as actually committing an immoral act with her. In the old Covenant, only the physical act was wrong, and the inner feelings were not considered.

Jesus Christ very succinctly taught His followers that this new Way was much easier to follow due to its simplicity, but now religion must be practiced from the heart and no longer from practice lists and rituals enumerated in ancient texts. His new Covenant is still in effect today – over two thousand years later. This religion is completely derived from – and in obedience to – the presence of God’s Holy Spirit which dwells within the heart, the inner being of the human soul. The prophets of old had foretold that the time would come when God would “write His law on the hearts” [Jeremiah 31:33]:“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” This new covenant was initiated during the gathering of the disciples and followers of Christ described in [Acts 2:1-4]: ” When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all ^[a]with one accord in one place. ² And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³ Then there appeared to them ^[b]divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. That meeting was when God gifted the Holy Spirit into the hearts of Jesus’ followers – the beginning phase of the new Covenant.

Later events would go on to demonstrate the availability of the Holy Spirit to all who made the decision to follow Jesus Christ, thus making the promise in Jeremiah that “they shall be my people”. There are ample other scriptures of prophecy that make it abundantly clear that in the new Covenant all – Gentile and Jew – who call on the name of Jesus Christ will become God’s people. God’s chosen people are, and have since the advent of Jesus Christ, all who follow Christ – but no other. [John 14:6]: “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

There’s no distinction – skin color, nationality, previous belief system, if you are a human being and choose to follow Jesus Christ, you are able to become one of God’s chosen people. That’s a good title to carry – so don’t let anyone convince you that you are second-class or that there are any others more preferred by God the Father than you as a believer in Jesus Christ. Get to know about Him. You’ll be eternally glad you did!

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

Artificial definitions – imitation; simulated; sham. lacking naturalness or spontaneity; forced; contrived; feigned. It ain’t real!

We’re seeing more and more about AI and how it is developing, and from social media I’m starting to see more and more fear within society of what this information avalanche might be capable. Several events have come to pass which on the surface don’t really appear to be connected, but if you see it all through the Spiritual lens the Lord has provided to each of us, the dots connect perfectly.

AI is no doubt the most potent weapon the enemy has ever developed. Were it not for the Mighty hand of our God, it would definitely become capable of terminating this human experiment, but it’s my job to make sure you understand that no weapon of the enemy is capable of defeating God’s people. All who lose the great battle do so because they choose defeat. This battle is taking on the trappings of man’s created “intelligence” against the profound wisdom of the Almighty God!

The big particle accelerator is another contrived weapon – whether or not it can open a portal to allow demons to come through it is a question for smarter folks than me, but that gizmo has another purpose – the same purpose as AI and all the other hi-tech manifestations have – it has been created to generate fear in human beings. Our enemy can cause harm to us with the sword, arrows, or bullets, but he cannot defeat us with such weapons. He can, however, defeat us with fear. Fear is his biggest threat, but even fear cannot defeat the stalwart Christian who believes in the almighty power of our Savior. We are given the perfect weapon with which to defeat any fear the enemy tries to inflict on us – that is perfect love. If you don’t remember anything else from this post, keep this in mind. [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.” It is with the most potent force in the universe that we can stand against the most powerful weapon the enemy can contrive. God’s Love. Once we learn to love, and he realizes he cannot threaten us with his fear, Satan is disarmed against us.

I don’t know how much the reader understands about the spiritual warfare that is underway but always remember that God’s angels kicked Satan and his angels out of Heaven in what must have been the most epic battle ever fought. This means our God is more powerful than the entity that controls this world, but for now He is allowing things to play out to determine which humans will come to understand our purpose here – to serve Him and no other.

There was a documentary I just watched about the huge number of expensive houses sitting empty in urban Texas. The housing market boomed there for a while a few years back when the big tech companies moved there from Southern California. Satan decided to spread his damage to other places, moving the high-paid tech heads around to new places. As far as those folks knew, they would be set up in expensive homes (and paying enormous mortgages) that would see them through their years, but – and here’s a dot connection that might sound crazy – each and every gigabyte of code they created was a contribution to Satan’s planned takeover of humanity by using AI and when they had served their purpose, Satan moved on to the fruition of his great project and threw them under the bus. A lot of hugely disappointed technology experts were left scratching their heads after being laid off and having large monthly mortgage payments and no job. Once this AI thing is set into operation, the guys who contributed to building it are no longer needed – only the ultra-rich billionaires who paid for it all have any control of it now. And their debt is to Satan and not the employees who created their weapon.

A reasonable evidentiary foreboding of God’s hand in all this is the lack of water to sustain the large-scale AI data centers. God is making it where there in an increasing scarcity of fresh water in many places, but primarily in the very areas of the country from whence this evil cloud of AI arises. Southern California and West Texas for example – geographical locales known for their aridity. But for the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead which it created, there would be no people in So Cal to make software weapons. There’s just not enough water (or electricity) available to supply such behemoth data centers, so that’s a good thing, but I wouldn’t bet on the servants of evil giving up – they’ll try everything – including running America completely bone-dry. And ironically, this is the same God Who created the monstrous flood of Noah’s time which submerged the whole world.

Satan is ultimately trying to recreate humanity into servitude to him only, and guys like me out here screaming at the tops of our lungs trying to spread the knowledge of Jesus Christ are his only threat. But guess what? We may know nothing of the inner workings of AI or CERN, but we do know they have been created as an attempt by Satan to gain as many followers as he can to take to hell with him. He doesn’t care in the least how many humans die as he goes around like a roaring lion, in fact, the more he can have killed, the better. His aim is to have us killing each other, that way our souls become his, and every soul he gains is a loss to our Savior. God doesn’t want to lose any of us, but some – most – are determined to ignore His calls for salvation. Even those techies who lost everything on a useless mansion. People like that should be the easiest to convince of the spiritual battle we are in, and maybe some of them will be, only God knows.

There’s rumor that we are about to be invaded, or infiltrated by aliens from other worlds, and right now that looks to be the next contrived threat. Remember that believers in Jesus are Satan’s predominant enemies, and maybe this new lunacy will draw some believers away. Remember also that by creating the new threat of masterful celestial beings, even some believers will succumb, but true believers won’t walk away from Jesus Christ, no matter how tenuous this faith might be made to appear. We believe in a Masterful Celestial Being already, and it is this faith that will carry us through all these machinations of the enemy.

I’m sure the reader is shaking his head trying to make sense of this post using the internet, part of the weapons system of the enemy, to spread the message of Truth. I’m not sure myself how this all works, but as long as it’s possible to get the Word out, to convince even a few, maybe we have opportunity to use this part of the weapon of the enemy against him. I’m sure this opportunity won’t be here long, but as long as it’s possible, we need to work on it. Above all else, do not allow the enemy to instill his precious fear in your heart – fear of this plague-riven AI (or demons showing up in alien garb) is really all he has.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father fins and keep us – it won’t be long now.

Some really important things are being revealed of late. Much phenomenal wisdom is being divulged to all who choose to listen. I understand that the offer of salvation is available to folks – it always has been – but recently, here in our times, the Lord is extending His hand to us in marvelous ways that He hasn’t done before. He knows, as we should, that the time is growing short for mankind. He’s giving us some special tools nowadays with which to fight these battles.

Every day when we roll out of bed, we automatically assume things will go today just as they have every other day in the past. That’s human nature, but what if today something astounding happens? I’m not necessarily talking about the end of the world, although it could happen, but maybe something seemingly simple and of no apparent consequence to the larger events of the world yet still may have drastic consequences to our experience. Maybe this is the day God has decided to open our eyes and our hearts to something profound that has been hidden from us until now.

Considering the notion that people tend to read words in verses without really digging in to what they’re saying, we have to concentrate on a different level to understand the dynamics involved, but the Bible says we have to initiate our own understanding: [ Deuteronomy 4:29]: “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” and [Matthew 7:7]: “”Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” There are several iterations of the same concept in other places, but in each one the accomplishment of gaining wisdom starts with the (soon-to-be) believer determining to learn. Knock, seek, ask – the Lord needs to know that we are serious about searching for Him. Each action is also promised to have a desired outcome – can you see it? He assures us that our serious search for Him will be heard and His presence revealed.

If you want wisdom, ask for wisdom; if you would like to know God, seek Him in truth. Jesus said [Matthew 5:8]: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God”. Pure in heart means we’re not just looking around for information to win an argument or any other motivation that isn’t up front. We actually have to approach God with an earnest desire to learn who He is and how to honor Him. We need to realize that our entire substance never deserves even His acknowledgement, He doesn’t owe us anything. Our reason for desiring His presence in our lives or even desiring to learn about Him has to be honest and sincere and we must show Him we seriously want to know Him. We have to accept that we are sinful creatures unworthy of His time, we cannot love Him as we are told we must, without knowing who He is, and in order to love Him we must above all else, come to Him with a pure heart – a sincere, heartfelt desire to communicate with Him – not because of who we are, but because of who He is. This experience we call life, even though we get caught up in it and distracted to no end, is all about Jesus Christ and not about us – outside the premise that the burden is on us to seek Him – and seek Him diligently. That’s our part, and if we’re serious, we’ll find Him – He promises that.

A big part of seeing God is understanding how to do so, or what it means to “see” Him. If you remember, the Bible says no man can see God and live, and even Moses had to partially hide himself in God’s presence and then he could only see God from behind. So how do we know that even if we are pure at heart, we’ll be able to see Him? Well first of all because Jesus said we would and that in itself is enough, but then there is that death thing…

God has a lot of marvelous methods, supernatural powers that we can experience in ways that we only understand when they overtake us. For instance, we can experience what I call a Spiritual lift – and not understand what just happened except that we liked it. Everyone who has ever meditated on the Lord has probably had those fleeting moments when something wonderful overtakes our senses and leaves us with a fervent desire for more of it, but alas, for our experience here it is but a moment of joy, only a memory. As we search more and more diligently – and always with a pure heart – we seem to enjoy more of these moments and may not realize that these are the times when we are “seeing” God – and without our eyes! I’ve not reached that plateau in my experience (yet) in which this “Spiritual high” is constant, and there may not be any living in the flesh who have done so, but who knows? Maybe Diedrich Bonhoeffer or John the Baptist were there in those last days before their execution – I’d like to think so. Is the sensation we get in our very heart when we see that beautiful wildflower in reality a form of our being allowed to “see” Him? When we are down and heartbroken over losing someone or some beloved pet and suddenly a profound peace of mind takes us and we wonder where that feeling came from, it’s Him telling us He’s there and we can be at peace in the solace of His love.

I’ve been writing a lot about the state of the world lately and it’s seriously getting tough to experience. There’s death and destruction on a scale that our edition of mankind has never seen before. Remember – when fear, sorrow, or worry threaten to subdue us and that sudden peace of mind happens, that’s God letting us know He’s in charge of our fate and we can stop worrying. We, after all, have a choice in the matter of trusting Him. Or we can fret and worry…

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

If my readers have noticed some unusual activity on this site lately, it’s because of some garbage that’s getting through from outside my site, so in order to confuse the procedure, I’ve pretty much deleted the bulk of the site content. The stats reporting have been unexpectedly revealing a complete audit of my site – I do not know by whom nor even why it’s happening, but due to the extreme events in the world these days, my guess is that because this site has become a bastion for a select few Christian believers, even though it is just a small thorn in the side of the enemy, they are looking for ways to either interrupt it, which they have done to an extent, of just shut it down. Meanwhile, I’m still trying to warn people.

Things are going south in the world really fast now; people who pay attention are worried. I try, using whatever information I can post, to encourage folks in their Spiritual preparation for what’s to come, and believe me, Jesus Christ is the only fortress we have to turn to. The western US is running out of water pretty fast. Now I understand that people don’t like to think about it, but it’s happening – Lake Mead will reach what they call deadpool in a short while, and just what are some 40 million people in the desert southwest going to do when a) Their power goes off – permanently, b) No water comes out of the tap? There will be an environmental disaster leading to a devastating migration of thirsty Americans looking for a place to survive! They might be able to last a little while without electricity, but only a few days without water.

When the hydroelectric power shuts down due to there not being enough water to turn the turbines, there won’t be any pumps to pump whatever drops might still be available. There won’t be any power to pump gasoline into cars to try and migrate to more survivable environs. They aren’t thinking ahead and getting out of the desert while they have opportunity – they’re going to wait, hoping against hope that some miracle will happen to save them. When it happens, it will happen all at once. I don’t know about anyone else, but for some reason I don’t think Donald Trump and his clown car of a cabinet are the right people to be in charge of things when we will need extraordinary leadership, and even with such, there’s really nothing folks can do but relocate. But where to?

Florida and Georgia are in a devastating drought at this writing. Wildfires – a thing unheard of in Florida in April – are ravaging the southeastern US, and Florida is running short on fresh water. The Mississippi River is being reported to be running low with no real promise of recovering. Extreme weather phenomena are occurring around the world – Wellington New Zealand just underwent catastrophic flooding. New Zealand – Middle Earth!

I’ve written on Campi Flegrei, the super volcano in Italy, that has been stirring of late, and it’s nearby companion, Vesuvius, is rumbling again. Vesuvius is the one that wiped out Pompeii and Herculaneum back in 70 AD. Naples and the surrounding area could be in serious trouble if either one of those two were to massively erupt. Volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest of the US are showing signs of activity. A super typhoon just devastated the Northern Marianas and Guam. A devastating wildfire just hit on the 19th in Malaysia that burned thousands of shanty homes. Where will those poor people go?

Folks, I’m not trying to be all doom and gloom, but the world is reaching a breaking point. All the leaders can seem to do is conduct war and intentional death, as if natural catastrophes aren’t enough. Foolish wars are not the solution to the ills of the world right now. The western US is headed for disaster, and all the president is worried about is whether his hair looks just right for the TV shots. Or someone giving him some kind of contrived “peace” prize. This is not the man we need as we face imminent disaster here in the US. I’m not sure anyone is capable of leading the country through what’s coming, but this guy certainly isn’t.

There is an answer to our problems, but so few people can see it. Jesus Christ told us of these hard times that would devastate the world in the end days. He knew what was to come, and He assured us that under His guidance, there would be some of us who would be saved. I’m not saying we will finish this on our feet, but there’s a better time ahead for His people in the next life. That’s the one we should be concerned about – this world is finished – it’s too bad more people can’t see it, but most folks don’t want to think about the dark times ahead. Everyone wants to try whatever preparations they can to survive whatever apocalypse might be in the offing, and that’s just not going to work! If people do not have Jesus Christ living in their hearts, they will perish – both in this life and the one – the real one – ahead.

We can trust Jesus and have some peace of mind that no matter what disaster we have to face, we’ll ultimately overcome it all, or we can spend our last days in fear of this darkness that’s spreading everywhere. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m looking to the Lamb of God Who will ultimately rule. You should too – you’ll be eternally glad you did.

There are a few of us who are still shouting from the mountaintops. Folks need to listen and trust the Lord Jesus while they still can. He will accept you – He loves you more than you can even imagine! He even loves you enough to have died so you could be saved from this disastrous world. Things are seriously getting bad, folks, and there’s not a lot of time left to decide. Get right with the Lord asap!
