I rationalized, as almost all of us do, that a couple of beers are harmless enough, and that might be true for most folks, but for me it was a rationalization that just didn’t work. Anyone who has been caught up in the abnormal need for booze can understand this, it’s how we deceive ourselves into opening the door for evil entities. When we take that first slug of anything with alcohol in it, if we are among those who do not have the capacity to stop at a reasonable juncture, we unlock the door – from then on, it’s just a matter of time until we totally surrender our conscious mind to the evil ones. When we become inebriated, our benign selves are no longer in control of our faculties, anyone who has even a modicum of understanding of alcoholism or other addictions knows this without having to read a post, but this particular post is meant to reveal something about the darker natures, the demons that await any crack in our sane, reasonable minds to enter into us and take control of our thoughts and actions.

It took me a long time and countless episodes of drunken misbehavior to actually realize the absurdity of continuing that lifestyle. We are admonished to confess our sins to God and to one another, and I guess this could be read as such, but it is also a warning to all who are able to fool themselves into believing they can stay in control of their faculties and emotions while physically and psychologically impaired under the influence of their substance of choice. There are many, many demons out there and they are just waiting for any opportunity to take control and with intoxicating substances, we give it to them. Once they move in and take over, we find ourselves thinking it’s ok to do things we wouldn’t have in our right mind. It happens every time! We prove that old adage about the definition of insanity being to repeat the same behavior and expect different results. This time I can handle it – unlike the last time and the time before, ad infinitum.

Intoxication is but one of many ways demons take possession of us – we get high or drunk, the enemy comes in, wreaks whatever havoc it can while we’re impaired, and for the most part, it leaves when we’re sober. I say for the most part, because these things hang around longer and longer as we progress into the addiction, meaning that even when we’re sober, we don’t really act normal and this gets worse. I think they call it being a dry drunk, where one becomes irrational and sometimes violent if they’re away from the booze for a while. This is because the demon becomes angry with the person being sober even for a short while. I had NCOs in the Navy who became so arrogant and nasty tempered when we were at sea that no one wanted to be around them. When we got to shore and hit the bar, they could be some of the most fun guys to party with. That is, when the demon (of alcoholism) regained control.

There are other, more insidious ways demons can possess us, and normal folks can see it, but I don’t think most of us understand what’s going on. I’m just going to say it and let the chips fall, but whenever we see “successful” people, those who have hit the big time and become wealthy and/or famous, I believe that, with very few exceptions they are those who have sold their souls; invited the demon into their beings in order to be wealthy. Look at the lines of “work” they are in – entertainment, sports, art – all are different forms of idolatry, and all are variations of “successful” lifestyles that are precipitated by being willing to serve the demons in control of fame. Some celebrities even willingly admit to their possession by evil entities. I’ll leave it there.

Banking and finance people are probably the most notorious of wealthy types, because at some point in their progression, they realize that service to the one(s) who have made them wealthy includes mistreating and causing financial ruin of others – I once happened to be in a loan officer’s office once when someone called, apparently trying to get a break on loan payment in arrears. This loan company guy was a ranking member of the local First Baptist Church, supposedly a devout Christian and the things I heard him saying to the person on the other end of the line were things that I couldn’t imagine a human being saying to another -what with all of Jesus’ admonitions to help the poor. I never heard this individual speak to anyone else in that tone of voice – the demon in him came to the surface when an opportunity arose in which he could demean and castigate someone who obviously didn’t have the means to pay their bank note on time. Persecution of the poor is a big no-no in Christian theology – a horrid, evil practice Jesus Christ Himself warned us not to do, but the demon who possesses these types of people cannot resist it. That demon was in control of this paragon of the First Baptist Church.

There are throngs of other wealthy people who use their ill-gotten gains to cause problems, destruction, and destitution for their fellow human beings in any way they can, for instance, it’s only the demon-possessed wealthy who are promoting and building those demonic data centers that use up all the water of the country. AI data centers are without a doubt and in every way a travesty to free humans’ way of life, depriving us of water, peaceful neighborhoods, they store information gained by spying on people, and I’m convinced they are also homes for demons to which the wealthy proprietors are paying dues for their souls. If you really look into AI and the “unexpected” things that some people catch AI saying and doing, there’s little room for doubt that it is controlled by demons, if for no other reason than the people who build them are without doubt people who have sold their souls. Check out the wealthy men in control of “technology” (another word for sorcery). No one in their right mind could consider any of these characters to be normal humans. These are the ones who are possessed full-time by demons and being evil is their way of life. If the truth was known, these fellows know what lies ahead for them – they have devoted their lives to Satan and know they are going down with him, and their primary motive is to take as many people to hell with them as they can. They have no wisdom, only fake (artificial) knowledge. If they’d had an ounce of wisdom, they would know that, like Sheldon Adelson and Jacob Rothschild, they will expire one day and then face the wrath of the Almighty God, finally being held to account for the evil they orchestrated in the world for their scant few years of wealth and power.

There are indeed many demonic entities loose in the world, be they the ones who are members of, or control, Demonic institutions like the Bohemian Grove, the Skull and Bones or the Mentmore galas, but those are just a few of the ones who occupy the extremely wealthy and can safely operate more and more in the public eye. There are many more that normal folks cannot identify. They occupy the hearts of cruel people all over the world, especially those who mock and persecute the unfortunate poor peoples. God will settle with them one day and it’s not going to be pretty. Demons and their master are destined for the lake of fire so be wary of them and their practices. Don’t get involved in any Satanic rituals, even down to such malevolent things as ouija boards – stay away from evil. Do not lust after money – even a poor man can lose his soul for lusting after wealth even if he has none – remember it’s the LOVE of money that’s the root of all sorts of evil. Keep yourself away from worldly lusts of all kinds, that’s where the demons capture you. If you haven’t given your life over to Jesus Christ, do so today before those demons get a chance to capture you – they have many ways of doing so, they’ve had thousands of years to practice their techniques. Do not allow anyone to convince you that all this technology is harmless – it definitely is not! I’m convinced this AI business will be one of if not the most successful techniques of Satan to capture many who do not believe Jesus is the Son of God. Those types are easy prey for Satan. Don’t be among them

By the way, I’m closing in on 24 years without alcohol – all thanks to the merciful God and Jesus Christ Who took up residence in my heart years ago! No way I could have done it without His help.

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

Yesterday I was interrupted from one of my numerous projects by a surprisingly determined little creature imploring me to stop my work and pick my sickle back up and stay involved in the harvest in the way He has given me to do my part. Today I’m preempting that little fellow just in case he should find me back out there neglecting my real assignments. For this paragraph to make sense, click on the link a few sentences up, and take five minutes to read the article. Today the Spirit has beckoned me to try and paint a verbal picture – I’m not an artist, so bear with me. Allow the thoughts presented to sink in and just imagine what you would think and feel when this event happens:

It’s seemingly a normal day and you are going about your usual grind, fretting over this or that, allowing your thoughts to meander through the news cycles of recent events, maybe trying to figure out what you want to do for dinner, or whatever else occupies your time. You don’t notice that the world outside has become totally quiet and still, almost as if in anticipation of something, but what? Something suddenly does happen; an unusually loud noise, then a bright light, brighter than the normal daylight blasts through the windows. The noise becomes more and more distinct until you realize it’s a trumpet blast – louder than anything you have ever heard! Something big, really big is happening out there, and the suddenness of it all is amazing.

You go to the door, but before you open it, you are seized by an unfamiliar sensation – this is something that in the back of your mind, you knew was coming, but you always diverted your attention to other things when it arose – put your head back into the sand until the thoughts of it went away. As you open the door, you are stunned by the brilliance of the light – it’s not a glaring, threatening light, and as your eyes adjust you can make out huge clouds slowly drifting earthward and the noise of the trumpet, though loud enough to be heard throughout the whole earth, doesn’t cause any discomfort – in fact there is an indescribably soothing effect in your very heart.

Your mind races; Could this be??!! You realize in a moment that this is it! This is none other than the return of Jesus Christ! The seminal event in all history of mankind and it’s actually happening right now! You reel in disbelief, almost fainting with excitement! Your thoughts immediately go to the last time you prayed. Was it last night? Was it a few days, or a week ago? Perhaps you have been putting off saying a prayer for a really long time now, and you wonder how many sins you’ve accumulated on your record since the last time you sincerely asked for forgiveness. How many…

You begin to realize that your life in this moment is absolutely and forever changed. No more worry about the money in your bank account. No need to fret over picking the kids up from school, or to think about that all-important project you’ve stewed over for months. No more worry ever again about how much gas is in the car or how much it costs. That trip out to grandma’s you had planned for the weekend is now cancelled – forever. Thoughts flood your mind. Will I ever see anyone in my family again?

Neighbors are coming outside now, each person with the exact same thoughts racing through their minds. The fear is palpable – you can actually feel a huge knot growing in your throat. You realize you are actually trembling with fear and anticipation – Then you see Him! There on the highest bright cloud – higher and more enormous than any cloud you have ever even imagined, stands the celestial figure of the brilliantly lit Son of Man, the light is actually coming from Him, His magnificence is unimaginable and indescribable! He is surrounded by powerful angels in a celestial setting too beautiful and magnificent to put to words. You are able to see colors you’ve never seen before – colors you never knew even existed. There are no words in any human language that could even begin to relate what you are seeing! You realize instantly that no institution, no army, nor any weapon ever devised by mankind would be of any use to try against this celestial being whose presence fills the whole sky – indeed, all the Heavens are filled with His power – His glory! You feel yet another sensation as He comes closer – your thoughts, your physical presence, your whole existence actually experiences the actual, physical feeling of His sensational love – wonderful, unimaginable, indescribable love – that surrounds and encompasses His whole Being, and in that instant you begin to understand this presence of Him is something so absolutely wonderful that no mere human could have possibly imagined the glorious joy of simply being near to Him, but it’s also a joy to be lost when this is over – when one is rejected from His glorious presence – denied because during this very short life we have here on earth, His offer of eternal life with Him was denied. The horrific impact of experiencing His marvelous presence and then realizing the joy that comes with being near Him will be forever lost because we were too busy with the goings on of this world to entertain the notion of getting to know Him in that life when we had the chance.

Time itself stops as these events unfold. As His wonderous gaze lands on the eyes of each and every person, people drop their heads, few have the psychological wherewithal to withstand His piercing eyes. Tears flow like rivers on faces of shame and all present instinctively go to their knees – finally in obeisance, some belatedly begging forgiveness – before Him Whom they should have acknowledged in earlier times, many attempt to hope there is still time for forgiveness, but those hopes are instantly dashed in their minds. They know. They realize now that that night at the bar, that football game, wasn’t nearly as important as a church service; that working all that overtime was absolutely pointless – the events surrounding this return of Jesus Christ are the only things on everyone’s mind, the price of gas, picking up the groceries, even sweeping the floor – nothing left in this world in which you have spent your whole life learning to exist is of an iota of importance now – now and forevermore. Nothing that is, unless during that meaningless existence you paid attention to the Holy Scriptures and made yourself ready for this day.

Jesus told a parable about ten virgins waiting for a man to appear who would be their prospective groom. Five of them were wise and prepared by filling their lamps with oil to welcome him, some of them just kept putting off their preparations until, in the dark of night he arrived. As he approached the girls who had no oil asked the ones who did for some oil, but the girls who were prepared told them they would have to go and buy their own, which they did, but they had waited too long, and while they were away, the groom took the women who were prepared in and shut the door. Now this is important, so don’t overlook it – the groom said he did not know the girls who were not prepared.

In the magnificence of this upcoming event, when the Groom for this wedding returns, if we are to celebrate in total joy and rapture of the moment, we must have oil in our lamps. If we are prepared, this day of absolute terror for some and ecstasy for others will be the beginning of our eternal reward, but if we are of those who always put off a relationship with Him, then that day will be indescribable fear and terror. The last thing anyone wants to hear on that day is [Luke 13:27]: “But He will say, “I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.”

Are you absolutely sure those words are what you want to hear from Him on that terrible day? One of the greatest freedoms He gives all mankind is that of our choice. He does not make anyone serve Him in this life, but He does make some incredible promises of a new life. If you’d wish to be among those who are able to stand and share in the joy of His return, just go ahead and fill your lamp now. A prayer of repentance and asking His forgiveness for living a worthless life would be the first step. Jesus said He stands at the door of every heart and knocks. When we open that door, we begin the journey to the place we can stand when He comes back, and we can eagerly anticipate that life of perfect peace and joy – joy so profound we can’t even imagine it from these tents of flesh where we dwell. Find a preacher and get baptized into the faith today.

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

The last day of an incredibly hot August and it’s still blazing hot out, but I thought if I could take it easy and not stay out in the heat too long at a time, I might be able to make some headway on a raised strawberry bed I’ve been working on. In order to get started I needed to mulch up some old rotting hay and compost, and I thought my old chipper might just do the trick so I went out to the barn and swam through months of cobwebs and finally got the thing out. It was, as expected, in fairly decrepit condition as it had sat in that dark corner through seasons of horse dust, bugs, and other barn accoutrements and of course it would not start. As I struggled with all my 73-year-old might to pull crank the old contraption and get the heavy flywheel to turn, I noticed something (besides my progressing weakness) – there was gasoline dripping from the little carburetor. This usually means that during storage the needle in the tiny float valve figured out a way to get stuck open and continue to allow gas to run into the float bowl and overfill it – those little carbs are always trying with all their might to be the first thing to fail to operate when a machine is needed.

While I was dutifully disassembling the tiny troublemaker and struggling to keep up with microscopic components, the strangest thing happened to me. Now I’ll tell you up front that I hope you don’t think I’m a bit insane – no, I’d much rather you just go all the way and think I’m completely crazy – certifiable and ready for the institution, but this little butterfly came along and lit on my sweaty wrist and clung on as he (she?) very delicately probed around on my skin with his little probiscis; first here, then turn his tiny head and there, and I had to stop being frustrated with my clumsy hands trying to perform microsurgery and watch this little guy and as I did, my curiosity began to get the better of me, and then astonishingly, he spoke to me. He didn’t speak with words or any sound; he didn’t need to. I could hear him from inside. He began by asking me, “What are you doing out here working on this confounded thing?” I already understood where he was going with this, and I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t have a reasonable answer in the moment.

He continued, “You of all people realize how close this old world is to wrapping things up, and the time is short.” I dropped my head and listened intently now, the profundities of his thought were piercing my inner sanctum. “You do realize your precious strawberry bed can wait for a while so that you can do something much more important, and you also know what that is, so what are you doing?” he said as he gingerly stepped around on my arm so that his tiny little eyes were in direct line with my own. “There may be a prospective reader out there who needs just the post you write today to begin his/her move toward an important goal you might inspire for them. There may be a believer who is down and needs encouragement at this very moment. By fixing this dratted machine, you are only satisfying your need to accomplish something, but it is a menial and useless thing compared to what might transpire in the heart of someone who will read an essay today that God has given you the ability and desire to create.” This little guy was cutting my conscience like he knew exactly what he was doing.

The tiny butterfly left my arm and after a moment, I determined to continue with my project, assuming of course, that the experience with the miniature lepidopteran was a temporary departure from my normal insanity into something more profound – which would be an experience I’ve heard is not uncommon with old codgers – but as I reached for a tool, he came back and landed in the exact same spot and looked at me, “Don’t you know you’ve just been visited by something more profound than you can even imagine? What are you still doing here?” I was awestruck, to say the least! Flabbergasted might even be a better word!

I knew I needed to reassemble this “dratted machine” before I did anything more, else I’d never find the parts (the cats would see to that) nor, more importantly, remember how everything went back together, so he waited patiently right there on my wrist, never flinching or fluttering away until I got it all put in place and tightened, and when I turned the last screw, he left me – I guess to ponder what had just happened. I have to admit, I’ve never had my conscience accosted to such an extreme – by a next-to-nonentity at that.

How on earth did God know to make that little critter come speak to me at just this time? Now you might (and probably do) think it was just my own conscience hammering on me to leave something unimportant and go inside and get something done for God, and any other time, I’d probably agree with you, but what I wrote is what happened – you can believe it or not as you choose. A tiny little butterfly – one with a chunk of a wing missing (so I knew it was him when he came back that second time) – rode upon a summer morning’s breeze from who knows where in God’s celestial realm and lit on the greasy, sweaty arm of an old short-timer in this world and ever so gently got his attention and in God’s own gentle and loving way, urged him to break into what he was doing and get something important done for Him. And I never even tried to crank the thing – came straight here to my keypad to make sure you – the one reading this, know that Jesus Christ loves you with an intensity none of us can even begin to comprehend – and He wants to hear from you.

Now the little insect didn’t tell me this part, and maybe I don’t even have to tell the reader, but unless whatever you’re doing is in some way connected with God’s work, just stop whatever it is and check in with the Lord – He’d love to hear from you. That, after all, is what this whole story is about. If I can stop what I was doing up to my elbows in sweat and grease, to send you this post, then you can stop what you’ve got going and talk to God. I believe that was the intended result of His sending that beautiful little creature to get my attention. All just for you. There may not be enough time left in this old world for a crop of strawberries next year anyway.

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

We’re closing in on the most seminal event of all human history and too few of us are ready for it. That is the return of Jesus Christ! After all that has happened it would take a blind person – one who is blind indeed – not to be able to connect the dots by now. Things are happening now that haven’t happened before. There is a degree of evil afoot all over the world, but especially here in the US, that is of greater and more profound malevolence than there ever has been. This proves beyond any reasonable doubt the enormity of [Revelation 12:12]: “Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” The time is growing shorter by the day! We now live in a time when recognized governments – once thought to be in good standing – accept, indeed perpetrate the most heinous acts imaginable or befriend those who do. And they lie – they tell damnable lies about it all! God is about to act, and His vengeance will be a dreadful event for those who have rejected Jesus!

I’m old enough now to have lived through times of hope – almost innocence – where a man could get a decent job, buy a home and raise a family with all the accoutrements of living a decent life. Sure, there were shady dealings in our post WWII world, but they were kept mostly behind the scenes, giving the population at large a sort of plausible deniability so we didn’t feel wholly responsible for the evils of the world. We seldom considered the persecution our forefathers visited upon the American Indians largely because our media of the day disparaged them as bloodthirsty savages and we didn’t ever question that view. Our collective consciences were sufficiently clouded as to believe our time here was honorable. As long as we worked and paid our taxes we could build and maintain what we considered to be a respectable existence. Any dishonesty by the government was mostly kept hidden.

Along about the sixties things started to change. We were absolutely sure of a North Vietnamese torpedo attack on US ships in the Gulf of Tonkin and most of us therefore supported “retaliatory” measures by US armed forces. We also “knew” that Vietnam was the linchpin domino that would unleash communism on the whole world if it should fall to those commie rice farmers! Very few to none of us had any idea that the NVA (North Vietnamese Army) didn’t even have vessels that were capable of launching torpedoes at the time. Vietnam was the first conflict of my lifetime that our government lied us into, but back then when us proles had a modicum of confidence in what our media told us, it was really easy for Uncle Sammy to do. Since the heady days of our military action in Nam, we have slowly, bit by bit, learned that, thanks to institutions of deceit like the CIA, the US government writ large, is unquestionably the most dishonest operation the modern world has ever had the misfortune to tolerate. Lyndon Johnson lied to the whole country, even to the extent of having the techies of the day to take some video footage of torpedoes slicing white trails through the water but in reality, it was American ships performing target practice on ship hulks out in the water but the claim was that these were Vietnamese torpedoes being fired at American ships. Sure looked convincing back in the days when we still mostly trusted what they told us.

When the “hippie” movement started back in the sixties, the young folks – especially on college campuses – started a trend that forever changed our trust in what we later came to understand as government propaganda. Back then most of us didn’t even know what propaganda was, but thanks to the hippies – and the “Jesus Freaks” (more on them later) – an unfamiliar facet of our regard for what we were (and are) being sold by our government, a long-forbidden concept now widely known as TRUTH began to drip out into the public discourse. In the sixties, anyone with enough intestinal fortitude to dare challenge any narrative put out by the government through a compliant (oh, how compliant!) media, was asking for trouble, especially in the redneck southern communities. That part hasn’t changed much right up to today, but more and more “conservatives” are beginning to see the light. In my opinion, the events of 9/11 and the public reaction to the government narrative of it, probably revealed more than any other event up to that time about the mistrust of our government. After that seminal day in American history, many citizens were willing to actually revisit government narratives of other things, like the Kennedy assassination and events surrounding Pearl Harbor. Once people – complete with their own eyes and ears saw those big skyscrapers fall to the ground in an obvious controlled demolition, most of them (us) could no longer bear the burden of trust in our government. The slow, steady drip of truth became a deluge! Once that genie was out of the bottle, sane folks realized that if they were willing to lie to us about an event of that magnitude, they were probably lying about a lot more things and the US government has never enjoyed the benefit of public trust since.

It seems like every event which has happened since – and including – 9/11 has become another focal point of the doubt of a government narrative. Nowadays instead of buying into the “official narrative” of any major event, be it a fake assassination “attempt” in Pennsylvania for photo ops, or the obvious lies about the real murder of Charlie Kirk, everyone first examines things like, who benefits from this? Why did this happen at the time it did? Why was there a missing minute or two of the Epstein “suicide”? (This is a big one, because they’ve gone so far as to even suggest Trump had a hand in his beloved friend’s “death?” in order to sell the public on the notion that a valuable MOSSAD asset is actually dead. I do not believe for a nanosecond that with all the resources at the US government and MOSSAD’s disposal that they could not have busted him out of prison and put the cadaver of some unfortunate soul in his place, but that’s just me.) Again, there’s this truth thing that keeps threatening official narratives…

In Donald Trump the government of Satan has it’s greatest liar ever to breathe. Almost EVERY word that comes out of this man’s mouth is either a baldfaced lie or some statement that is predicated on a lie he has told earlier. I do not waste my precious time watching his speeches or any other occasion he exploits to spew his drivel. You learn absolutely nothing from his discourse except that there are actually human beings around with the capacity to tell so many despicable lies even in occasions when the truth would serve him better. Be it three-hundred-foot gashes in a pool liner (he doesn’t even have enough sense to realize the impossibility of that, what with cameras on 24/7) or reducing prescription medicine prices by 600 percent, the inanity of his completely senseless diatribe is an absolute revelation of a psychopathic liar of the first order and Senate and Congressional Republicans should rightfully bear the responsibility for the damage he has caused and the allies he has estranged. Trump, in his progressing dotage obviously cannot help himself, but the congressional Republicans can and should stop him. It’s every bit their fault and as I have written before, I’m not a Democrat – I deplore them equally as profoundly as Republicans, it’s just that the Republicans are the ones stopping any action from being taken to relieve the country of Trump. They serve Satan and he won’t allow them to act even if they were brave enough to do so. Remember their disregard for the good of America when the mid-term vote comes due. Every one of them know Trump is an insane narcissist who might well destroy the country, but they are too afraid to confront this monster they have created! Democrats are a sold-out lost cause, but the Republicans are downright evil!

Back to the days when the truth started coming out. There was a time, as mentioned, when US citizens largely trusted whatever we were told by our media. We had anchors on three networks that we never thought to question. Walter Cronkite was a folk hero. Who in the world were all these freaks with long hair running around protesting against our sacred war in Vietnam? I’ll break it to you – their credo was peace, love, flowers, and in many cases, Jesus. Now I don’t care what your issue is, nor where you stand on world events, if you honestly follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, you eventually win the battle. Sometimes it doesn’t happen right away, sometimes not even in this phase of our existence, but you are guaranteed to win the long game. Peace and love are attributes of following Jesus, and they are the absolute best iterations of human behavior. We do not, nor did we ever, need war in this world. Satan has created the conditions and attitudes necessary to cause human beings to hate, to kill. The “Jesus Freaks” of the sixties and seventies have grown old now. I am one – I can’t claim that I’ve always followed His teachings as I should have – nor can anyone else, although there are many who’ve been more faithful to Him in pastimes than I have – but I wholeheartedly follow Him now!

As a true Jesus Freak, I now feel the responsibility to pass along the hope that He has given me. Things are wrapping up in this phase, think about it. If you are reading this essay, know that Jesus Christ loves you with a profound love of such magnitude that He was willing to endure one of the most horrific deaths imaginable – just so He would be able to save your soul, the part inside you that counts. The part that will be around forever. He wants to be your eternal friend, your King. He said [John 14:6]: … “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father but by Me.” For the purposes of this essay, that Truth part is worth a second consideration, especially as we practically drown in the sea of lies that Satan has put before us. You can really trust Jesus and in this world of lies and deceit, that’s a rare and amazing comfort. He gives our psyches blessed Spiritual lifts ever so often in this life, from His profound store of love, and it’s worth following Him just for those events! With the complete failure of an unbelieving mankind to effectively steward this wonderful world He gave us, it’s so passionately refreshing to know that our ultimate future will indeed be won – it already has been if we but follow our precious Savior – all the way to that wonderful mansion He has prepared for us (I can promise you that mansion is going to make Mentmore look pathetic). When that sinks in and you understand that Heaven is where you are headed, that Spiritual lift kicks in and the ills of the world are relegated as trivial indeed.

Get right with Jesus today. Ain’t much time left so don’t wait until it’s too late – my heart really hurts for those throngs of people who will have to depart from His face. Don’t be among them – become a Jesus Freak today – give Him the keys to your life and let Him drive – He can handle it!

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

It’s no big surprise to know everyone is blaming the Jews in Israel and those in America who support them for the ills of the world, and truth be known, some of them might play a big part, but there is another, more insidious entity at work which we tend to ignore. If we actually knew the entities, the actual perpetrators of the world’s biggest atrocities, it might surprise some to learn they are malevolent demons who possess people, and they don’t necessarily need to find Jewish hosts, although it would seem that, due to the rapacious evil behavior and the proclivities of the people who identify as Jew to desire wealth and power (through unscrupulous means), the purported Jew tends to be a likely enough host. Purported of course, because the majority of people in the world – especially in the Holy land – who claim to be Jews are not Jews at all.

There’s a crucial distinction to be made between the real Jew and those who claim to be, and when this is considered in the interpretation of prophecy, we might find that all of our preconceived foundational bases are flawed to the extent that, in many cases such premises have to be completely discarded and we should completely start over. Nonexistent dots cannot be connected, no matter how tempting it might be to rely on preconceived notions of ethnic characteristics to try and do so. In other words when the Bible speaks of things that are going to happen to Israel in the end days, it is not talking about Jewish descendants of Jacob, but of the people who have set up shop in Israel – the imposters Jesus referred to as the synagogue of Satan. These people are of Eastern European lineage and their relation to anything Jewish is merely based on the conversion of their ancestors long ago to the religion of Judaism. They are correctly identified these days as Ashkenazi or Khazarian and there’s scant if any evidence of Judaic or Hebrew blood in their populace. Benjamin Netanyahu is the current name of a fellow of Polish descent who lived in Philadelphia named Mielekowsky who has no proven Jewish DNA at all, but in order to capitalize on all the advantages of being Jewish, he needed a more Jewish sounding name. Look where it’s gotten him! Many more of them have also done so, in fact almost every one of the Israeli leaders for many years.

They claim the title of Jewishness due to their adopted religion and not their lineage, but in these latter times when it became profitable under the guise of holocaust survivorship (not to mention free (stolen) land in Palestine) to call oneself a Jew they jumped on the bandwagon without a second thought. All of a sudden, people over the world, especially Germans, owed them tons of reparation money and all who could even remotely pass for a Jew suddenly became bona fide – and of course, thoroughly persecuted – Hebrews. I’m not sure, but as far as I know, the German nation still pays out holocaust reparations – most likely even to non-Jewish people who never came near a German concentration camp. Perks sprung up for these swindlers to the extent that some of the “concentration camp” sites were reportedly being retrofitted with post-world war crematoriums and gas chambers for anyone who might doubt the horrors that went on and visit one to see for themselves. And of course, if someone voiced any doubt of the veracity (and ferocity) of the holocaust. there were laws passed to punish, indeed excoriate such heresy!

Jesus referred to these people as liars who called themselves Jews and as a Synagogue of Satan [Revelation 3:9]: “Indeed I 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.” This is to Christians. The only religion the synagogue observes comes from the Talmud and if you don’t know what that execrable heresy is, I suggest you learn about it. There are passages in it that speak of Jesus Christ burning in hell. A damnable religion of blasphemy of the highest – actually the lowest – possible order.

Another point that I believe is widely missed is that when Jesus was being crucified and Pilate was trying to get the crowd to tone down their hostility towards Him, Pilate washed his hands and told them he (Pilate) was innocent of the blood of Jesus, they smugly replied, [Matthew 27:25]: “His blood be on us and on our children.” Now there aren’t many preachers who teach about this and I believe it’s because the dots are difficult to connect, but I believe the real Jews who vowed that oath brough a curse upon themselves in which God would require the blood of Jesus to be avenged upon them – the ones who actually vowed the curse and their descendants. In fact, they actually cursed themselves, but here’s the part that doesn’t get connected: It would seem that if a people arrogated to themselves a national identity (today’s “Jews”), one of a totally different people, that they would inherit the curse(s) that come with being a member of that nationality even if they are genetically different. Us Gentiles adopt the new identity of sons of Abraham when we become children of God. Instead of the curse of those who killed Jesus however, we inherit the blessings of Abraham because of the Christian identity we have chosen.

There are Talmudic Jews in America and currently settled in Israel who are not Jews at all but are a very corrupt and sinful Gentile synagogue of Satan, but there are Christian Jews who are the adopted sons of Abraham through Christ, thus adopted sons of God and may be of either (real) Jewish or Gentile descent. If they are followers of Jesus Christ, it makes no difference. Then if the people calling themselves Jews simply because they occupy the geographic nation of Israel and are not Jewish at all, they fit the description of the people who trample the outer court [Revelation 11:2]: “But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.” I’ve never heard anyone teach that the fake Jews who currently occupy Israel are the Gentiles to which this verse is probably referring, and if correct this will change a whole lot of people’s interpretation of prophecy! Especially the prophetic timelines. When trying to work out prophesy, do not assume the interlopers who live in Israel to be Jews – they’re not!

As an aside, and speaking of Talmudic “Jews”, did you ever wonder what happened to those demons Jesus cast out of the Gadarene man? A whole legion of demons begged Jesus not to send them to the abyss and were allowed to go into a herd of swine after they left the man. The pigs stampeded off a cliff and were killed, but I don’t think demons can die, so where did they go? Since Jesus did not send them to the abyss as He was apparently able to do, maybe He left them there for a reason and they just bided their time until new a bunch of new hosts came to Israel. No scripture to back that up, but it is a thought that – in light of those people’s repugnant and vicious behavior – who knows? Might have some merit.

Once again, we must remember in every attempt to understand and/or interpret prophecy, that the people currently in control of Israel are not Jews! I’ve seen a lot of preachers who’ve been thrown off by believing things like the parable of the fig tree being the rebirth of Israel – thrown off because these people are not sons of Abraham at all. Then we come full circle back to the likelihood of them being “normal” people who are possessed by demons – they have to be demonic to hate Jesus like they do, and if you want to believe charlatans like John Hagee and many in our political establishment who are rich because they support these imposters in Israel – imposters who kill innocents, some of their victims actual Christians – in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon, then go ahead, but you’ll be bringing their curse down upon your head too.

From what I gather in my Bible, I’ve no doubt the Father’s wrath will be fearsome to behold for those who attack and/or belittle His Son. Yet there are still people out there who buy into that Talmudic blasphemy that so disrespects the King of Kings. They will pay dearly in the presence of an angry and wrathful Creator.

Everybody needs to avail themselves of the opportunity God is giving us right now to get right with Jesus Christ before that awesome and terrible Day. Fake Jews can be forgiven and brought into the Kingdom too – otherwise that’s an awful curse to which they’ve committed themselves!

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

The Samaritans were the “illegal aliens” of the day. They were shunned by the society around the environs of Jerusalem. You would not want your friends to see you talking to one of them. If there had been the likes of Donald Trump around with the authority he has arrogated to himself, you can bet there would have been some iteration of ICE roaming the streets and arresting them for wildly exaggerated offenses. Truly they must have believed the Samaritans were lower class people – if you dared to even publicly consider them to be people.

All of the populace was no doubt convinced that if not for these subhumans in their society, the ills they underwent would disappear; that’s how propaganda works and has worked for as long as there has been “civilization”. It still works remarkably well today. These racist attitudes were precisely why Jesus Christ spoke this particular parable – of one of those dastardly Samaritans performing an unimaginable, impossible act of kindness. This was tantamount to blasphemy! How could this “teacher” dare imply that one of the hated, abhorred social misfit Palestinians – I mean Samaritans – come to be – nay, perform the lead role – in a story of human compassion?

Wasn’t this Jesus aware of all the travails of their society were caused by these Samaritan (Palestinian, Mexican, Arab, etc.) terrorists? Where was His patriotism, His concern for the public good? Why wasn’t He at the fore of some big protest carrying a sign bemoaning all the problems their nation faced because no one was “protecting their borders” and deporting these interlopers instead of speaking parables depicting them as human beings – even human beings with compassion in their hearts for the very people who persecuted them?

Coming from East Texas, I had many opportunities to interact with Latinos as I grew up, but perhaps I learned the most when as an adult, I worked on a construction project in Mississippi several years ago, and as is typical on construction sites, there were several crews of mostly Mexican workers. Some of them even rented units in the same trailer park where I and a couple of my buddies were staying. We got to know some of them, and although most of them couldn’t speak English and we couldn’t speak much of their native Spanish, we nevertheless became good friends. We shared stories of our lives where we came from and generally got to know each other. One of the things that struck me was how personable they were, never a cross word among us. They liked to party on weekends, and every Saturday night without fail, one or more of them would be banging on our door to come over to join their festivities. These guys were for real, not to mention they really knew how to throw down, complete with guitars, great cuisine, and songs we couldn’t understand, but that was never a problem. I remember one of them writing his home address on a piece of paper and telling me I was welcome if I was ever down there and needed a place to stay – even if he wasn’t home his family would welcome me. He was from Guadalajara and I knew I’d probably never go, but he was being genuine! Samaritans – every one of them!

One of the biggest draws of the Trump campaign was possibly the only thing he promised that he actually tried to do, and that has to do with stopping immigration. The reason it was such an election boon for him is quite simply the rampant racism in America. Never mind this ICE gang that’s running around illegally arresting people – even American citizens – and murdering people or locking them away without due process, the racism in this country is way more out of control than problems caused by immigrants. I’m sorry – no I’m appalled – at how my fellow white Americans act toward people of other skin hues. It’s downright sickening to see and hear otherwise good, sensible people making flimsy arguments to support outright racism. How did we get here? And it’s not just aliens, I’ve been around long enough to have seen this government embark on white vs black racial campaigns every time the public appears to be coming together and challenging TPTB, the Vietnam protests come to mind. Then came the Watts riots – whites and blacks turned on each other like flipping a light switch.

If you doubt what I’m saying, just take a look at each and every situation in this country where the races are turned on each other and you’ll see some issue the government is trying to distract us from; every time. George Floyd, Rodney King, etc. Watch the news – when you start to see a bunch of stories about white cops shooting black people, or one of their favorites, black “thugs” raping a white woman – there’s something going on that the legacy media is not being allowed to talk about. More than that, it’s always something that needs the public to be distracted from, so they play the old race card, and it still works like magic. Same techniques they use with Latino immigrants. They’re all Samaritans – the blacks and Asians too!

We should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing our Satan-inspired government to use us this blatantly. A racist society gives Satan the tools he needs to control it. We have to stop hating on the Samaritans and take a good look at what the power brokers are doing to us. Our problems are not derived from black neighborhoods, from Islamic folks, from south of the border – our problems start right here in our homes. Our problems start when we teach our kids that we are somehow better than people with a different skin color or folks who come here from another country. They start when we teach our kids and our fellow travelers that we need to fear and/or hate other people. There’s nothing our corrupt government fears more than a backyard bar-b-que gathering with more than one color of people in the crowd! They hate stories of white cops befriending some black fellow who needs a hand. Think of Jesus speaking well of that Samaritan! These things portend a nation that is evolving beyond something that so profound a weapon as racism is becoming of less and less effect.

I’m going to relate a short version of the story of the good Samaritan as it is narrated in the Bible, but as the parable progresses, since we are in modern-day America, think of the protagonist as a Latino, or if you rather, a black man in a white neighborhood, but as you imagine a modern scenario, remember this is probably just how those folks back then regarded the Samaritan.

Jesus tells a narrative [Luke 10:30-37] of a man, most likely a native Israeli (just consider him to be a white American man) traveling through an area which was predominantly Hebrew (think white) who was attacked by robbers who beat him up and took his clothes. He didn’t get into the ethnicity of the robbers, maybe since doing so might incite the racism of the listeners. The man lay in pain and distress as a priest (think Texas evangelical preacher) passed him by, even going to the other side of the road so as not to directly encounter him. Another fellow, a Levite (the family of the priesthood) saw him and did the same thing – purposefully dodging the guy. Finally, a Samaritan (illegal alien, black man, Arab, whatever) came upon the hapless fellow and instead of going out of his way to avoid eye contact, the Samaritan had compassion and helped him. He bandaged up the guy’s wounds and allowed him to ride on his own animal and rented him a room and ensured he was attended. Needless to say, that nasty Samaritan alien turned out to be the good guy.

Jesus told this parable to warn people to avoid the very attitude that got Donald Trump elected! Our nation has strayed from what we were taught in or own Bibles and it’s shameful. The Bible says the whole world belongs to God and everything in it. [1 Corinthians 10:26] Whoever is in possession of property is only allowed stewardship of whatever he sits on in this world and its resources and the Lord expects us to share it with our fellow travelers, no matter where they are from. [Malachi 3:5]

And I will come near you for judgment;
I will be a swift witness
Against sorcerers,
Against adulterers,
Against perjurers,
Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans,
And against those who turn away an alien—
Because they do not fear Me,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

At this moment in time, it seems that Anglo Americans have overwhelming stewardship of this nation that belongs to God (as do all nations) that we call America, but that does not an any way mean that it belongs to us or that we are justified in expelling or persecuting others. I’m an old white man who grew up in a very racist South, but God has opened my eyes to a serious failure of my kind, and we have to allow the wisdom of Jesus Christ (in this very parable) to take us beyond racist inclinations. We have a lot of voters in this country who voted for a man BECAUSE of his racism, and that ain’t speaking good for us.

To all my black, Latino, Asian, Arab, etc., brothers – hang in there, pray for the Lord to open more eyes – His purpose will be done.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
