Madness of Misdirection, MAGA, and Money

I feel sure they have something on Trump. Something in the Epstein files maybe, I don’t know, but it’s very odd that he’s gone way out of his way to perform insidious acts of evil and violence, acts which go against all of the things a megalomaniac would normally do to try and make people love him. Especially one whose desire is to be known as a peacemaker. That’s their high, after all, to be adored by the masses. He wants to go down in history as a great, no as the greatest of presidents, but he keeps doing things that absolutely will prevent his ever attaining anything close to that status.

He watches as the population of the US (all too slowly) come around to the realization that the US government he leads is so totally wrong in its approach to dealing with humanity that even the most stubborn Trumpers with their MAGA hats are actually beginning to take notice. Indeed, people who think of themselves as upright and moral Christians are experiencing the greatest cognitive dissonance imaginable trying to reconcile their support for Trump and his support for the slaughter of innocents (just like Biden) with their Christian beliefs. They are waking up, and not in a “woke” way, but in a Hind Rajab and Aaron Bushnell way. After trying to understand why someone like Josh Paul would give up a nice position at the State Department, or remaining bewildered over college students all over the country willing to go to jail for their humanitarian and/or moral convictions, some of the most hard-core Trumpists are seeming to allow the Almighty to speak to them. Are they actually starting to listen?

I think it was Mark Twain that said it’s much easier to fool a man than to convince him he has been fooled, and for sure there are a lot of MAGA types out there who are more willing to swear that Trump is a patriotic American rather than trust their eyes as to what he is doing. They have been, and are still being fooled, but rather than try and be objective about what’s going on in Gaza and Yemen, and in Occupied Palestine, they smugly insist that the orange one is looking out for America. Even though North Carolina still is reeling from that hurricane, even though much of the American southeast has been devastated by tornadoes and wildfires, even though there is not enough money to even begin to help the country, they still find tens of billions of dollars to send to Israel for weapons, healthcare, (yes, they have free healthcare in Israel) and whatever else is needed for a genocidal entity, largely funded by American taxpayers who pay through the nose for “health insurance” and medical care that could be funded by some of the wealth sent to Israel. That’s what happens when your congress is staffed by Zionists, many of whom are dual citizens. They make sure their real constituents, the Israelis, live fat while the Americans who they are supposed to represent, do without. For crying out loud, when I was in the AMERICAN military, we wouldn’t have had to worry about being arrested in foreign countries on vacation, we couldn’t afford such vacations, but the Israeli soldiers apparently travel abroad routinely. America first for our Zionists in congress is simply a campaign slogan that means absolutely nothing.

American college kids are leading the way for our nation, in spite of a government that is waging war on them. It’s not a new thing; we went through this during the Viet Nam days – we’ve seen it all before. The pols are pinning their hopes on the fact that many of the younger folks don’t remember those days. They’re dusting off the old playbook they used back then – it’s plainly happening – notice all the videos on social media about how white people have mistreated the blacks and vice-versa. This is an old card that has worked very well for them – once again get the whites and blacks fighting with each other and they’ll take their eyes off the real problem, the problem of a government of crooks willing to subvert its constitution to protect millionaire legislators, judges, and presidents by pitting the people against each other. Google the Watts riots, the end product of a perfect government setup. Are we willing to fall for it again? By now we should all, white, black, brown, etc., see this move for what it is. Our government is participating in one of the most heinous atrocities of our time, this middle east genocide, people are seeing it for what it is, and they have to get our attention off of it, and if it takes starting race riots or even a major war, so be it – they’re not willing to give up their fortunes or positions of power. If it looks like that is about to happen, they are willing to blow up the world rather than give it up. They’re going to once again wager on the ignorance of the masses first, though, and try to agitate the public against one another.

Back in the days of Viet Nam protests, there were a lot of young folks who turned to Jesus for His guidance and support. There were a lot of them – people called them Jesus freaks, and I admired them for their faith, although back then I was too young and easily misled to join their ranks, but there were a lot of us kids who simply protested. We had music, flowers, love and Jesus, and somehow that combination won the day as the popular movement against the war was so intense the US eventually had to turn tail and leave the Vietnamese to sort out their own problems, which they immediately and easily handled once Uncle Sam exited their country. If enough people get their priorities in order and understand that we have the power to stop a genocide, we can do it again. If a popular movement arises again, I’m too old to join in protests and get banged up by the mindless uniformed zombies who inevitably appear to disavow their oath to the constitution and protect rich Zionists against their own countrymen, but I will continually pray for our nation to return to its moral sensibilities and stop killing innocent people in the name of the Synagogue of Satan. I really can’t force myself to believe that most Americans want to be seen as supporters of the murder and starvation of children. If that’s the case, I don’t think there is much hope left for us as a country, nor frankly do we deserve any hope.

The Jesus part of this equation is the most important part, because His Kingdom transcends this earthly existence where rich people’s money is Satan’s offer to them and thus dictates that evil must occur. That’s what it’s about after all. The rich man’s money, and power – in complete obeisance to Satan. They haven’t been given (nor do they desire) the spiritual insight that this existence is so very temporary. They believe in nothing more than a bunch of money in the bank, a private jet in the hangar, a beach chair on some tropical island and giving orders to the world.

[Revelation 18:7]: “
In the measure that she (modern Babylon) glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.” They are in for a rude awakening – the torment and sorrow will be all too real – and it will be forever!

Keep praying – Jesus is able to make things right, and I don’t think it’s going to be long before we see Him appear in all His glory to do just that. Pray that you are on the right side when He returns.

Matther 25:31-46: “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world‘”. 

For sure, be on the right side. No Satanic child murderers will be found there.

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

Tornadoes and Wildfires vs Debt to Rich People

Regarding my last post, and for those of my readers to whom I have conceded my “last” post, okay I’m recovering right now from a spiritual sledgehammer blow. Just as I thought the admonitions and encouragement from folkpotpourri were essentially useless, God sent extremely important messages, both in the form of weather destruction across broad swathes of Trump country, and in Hebrews chapter 3:14,14:“but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.  For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end”. Therefore, I follow this to enlighten and encourage you.

I’m not sure what to make of this, but in light of the stance of our orange-haired antichrist’s insane attacks on innocent Yemeni civilians in support of the Israeli genocide, there are dots to be connected here.

Netanyahu, the Israeli PM, in his continuing effort to stay out of corruption trouble by fomenting more war, has once again in a demonstration of some of the most heinous evil imaginable, closed off the Gaza crossings, essentially denying food, water, and any other life-sustaining necessities to those war-ravaged people. This includes women, children, and infants! Trump has launched attacks on the nation of Yemen in support of this evil. People, I don’t presume to speak for everyone, but supporting this unadulterated evil is NOT what the America I grew up in is about. We’re supposed to be the good guys! There are many who don’t think we are, and maybe they’re right and we’ve never been, but that’s still the image of this country I would like to believe in. And from the looks of things, I don’t think God is happy with us these days.

I don’t know how many readers are aware that one of Donald Trump’s top supporters in his campaign was one Zionist Miriam Adelson, widow of Zionist gambling magnate Sheldon Adelson, who Trump, in his last term referred to as his “king”. Now I don’t know about anyone whose king is likely burning in the fires of hell for among other things, making his fortune off an insidious human addiction, but part of his fortune left Trump in debt to the tune of a hundred million dollars to Miriam Adelson which is now being paid by American citizens. American ships are in the Red Sea launching attacks on a country that is bravely fighting Zionist genocide, and the wrath of God is completely apparent to the people of Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi who largely voted for this overly zealous monster that Zionists like Miriam Adelson installed in the White House. Now in return for your Trump vote, we are entering into a dark period of destruction and war so he can return her favor. For anyone willing to see, the dots align perfectly, even with similar death counts in Yemen and the southeastern US. The damages are alike too.

Missouri – get the picture?

For anyone who might think I’m some sort of liberal who hates Trump, I’m neither. I do not hate the guy, but I do hate what he’s doing. There are other instances of God’s retribution that don’t involve Trump – Southern California took a big hit recently, also an act of God’s vengeance, this time on a cesspit of immorality and decadence. Of course, everyone who got devastated there are not guilty of serving evil, but we are warned to get out from among those who are. Open your eyes, folks, God is getting active now, and His vengeance on those who commit or support the evil taking place in the world – and I’m speaking to those who choose to support or even overlook (like voting for and supporting the horror of this Trump presidency) the genocide of totally innocent human beings – is going to be a horror to undergo!

The terror of the wrath of the Almighty God and the Lamb will be upon all who support the immoral and evil operating in the world, [Revelation 6:15,16]: “And the kings of the earth, the great men, [j]the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!”  Do not think for one instant that your wealth (if you have any) will avail you at that terrible time.

There is a group of people who essentially own the wealth of the world. They actually believe they are entitled to rule the whole world and that every other people are beneath them. They have stolen all of almost every country’s wealth. When they tell Trump to jump, he does. He imagines himself to be some sort of ruler, but he is under the thumb of these people who literally hate Jesus Christ. He voluntarily does their bidding in order for them to allow him to sit in the White House.

The horribly misinformed country people of the “red states” actually believe this person is a patriotic American, maybe some think he is a Christian, but nothing could be further from the truth – just look at the devastation of the south right now. Who controls the elements?

The wealthy people who run America and own the congress might be on top of the world for now, but the day will soon be upon them when they will be among those scrambling to get in their holes and under the rocks, count on it. Do not be among the self-deceived people who follow or support any of them – especially the politicians and money lovers who occupy the congress.

Among the threats to our civilization are the possible impending eruptions of extremely dangerous volcanoes such as at Campi Flegri. This would swiftly bring the wrath of God down on the entire world, but especially on the middle east. It would be a devastating event that would undoubtedly result in millions of deaths around the world, but the Bible prophesies such cataclysmic events. At least no warplanes could fly in the volcanic ash, so there’s that.

When you see the nation beginning to crumble, especially when it is being assailed by “natural” events like wildfires, weather and earthquakes, you might want to put on your thinking hat for a change and understand why it’s happening. Look at the evil this government is committing (with the support of many of the people) in fealty to an antichristian nation and at least you won’t need to wonder why God is taking vengeance on us.

Get right with Jesus Christ while there is time. Remember that it’s okay to be an enemy of evil, in fact it’s our responsibility, and in the end, you’ll be eternally grateful you were.

Or just keep listening to false prophets like John Hagee and waving your Trump (or any evil politician) flag in your yard and looking the other way.

Just some thoughts while folkpotpourri is still operating…

May the blessing of the Almighty God find and keep us.

The Great Spiritual Inheritance

There’s a thing in my closet, and to tell the truth, I’m usually at odds with myself on the best way to deal with it. I certainly can’t get rid of it, nor do I wish to. It was passed down to me by my dad, and he told me he got it from his dad and his dad from his grandpa, and so forth from many generations ago. It’s not really anything very impressive, maybe just a thing made out of some kind of unknown material, but if it’s as old as I’ve been told it is, I’m pretty sure they didn’t have man-made materials that can do what this thing does that long ago, so it’s anyone’s guess. Whatever it is, it has held up well over the years. In fact, if I didn’t know better, I’d swear it gets in better and better shape as the years pass. Old stories have been passed down of years gone by during which the object got twisted around and distorted, but it always seemed to get back to its original shape, especially when the owners really studied it and wielded it, and tried to learn as much about it as they could.

Dad told me this thing is of utmost importance and to take care of it with my life. Each of my forebears was told the same thing by their fathers, and that although we only have a relatively miniscule understanding of the significance of it, and may not see what it portends in our lifetimes, there will come a time when its true value will be revealed, and we should hope that we are the ones alive and in proper care of it when that happens.

I’ve talked to people about this thing, the care of which I am currently entrusted, and doing so has taught me that there are folks who listen to the tale of this thing, but most think I’m some kind of nut and change the subject when I mention it. For some reason I’m still compelled to tell people about it, and when someone actually listens and hears the story of it, I seem to get a lift and so the listeners, I don’t know why, but it’s as if I’m obligated to inform people about it.

When the story of this thing began, as has been passed down through the years, there was some kind of itinerant preacher who came to some villages in another part of the world and spent some time there speaking to anyone who would listen about another life that folks would arrive at when this one is over. He wasn’t a wealthy man, a fact which didn’t allow him much regard form the better-off townsfolk, so most of that kind of people didn’t pay him much attention. There were some, though, who came to him and listened attentively as he spoke words of profound wisdom – those who listened to him received a gift of being able to perceive his messages to be of ageless importance, they all seemed to feel blessed when he spoke, and no one could explain or understand why.

Throughout my life I have pondered the stories about this fellow and have been amazed that the people I try to talk to about this thing have the very same reactions to the stories as those guys back when he spoke to them. Some want to hear more but most others turn away. Anyways, the story goes that a select few men were chosen (by him) to hear him out and learn of his message. He gave instructions such as how they should behave towards each other, but outside his group not very many seemed to want to hear that part of his message – they certainly didn’t take it to heart, and to this day they still haven’t. He also told them how to care for this thing he left behind, this thing of which I find myself in possession.

He left the object of which in my time I have been entrusted with very specific instructions as to how to care for it, in fact it was his own idea that whoever would be in possession of it was obligated, as part of his or her stewardship, to tell as many folks as were willing to listen about the thing. Even though it’s an old story shrouded in the supernatural, I believe it with all my heart and that is why I feel compelled to speak out about this object of which I have come to know is of special magnificence, this thing of which I speak. I often wonder though if the guy who left it in the first place already knew I would end up with it in my lifetime thousands of years later, but then deep in my heart I realize that of course he did. He spoke words long ago most of which I fully understand today. He must have been the greatest of prophets.

My dad also told me that there are others – and have been through the ages – who rightfully lay claim to this same object – they have it too and keep it in their own personal places, and the ones who can legitimately claim it are under the exact same obligation to tell people about it. Don’t ask me how several people can be able to claim the same thing, but I’m sure this thing transcends any physical constraints of which humankind is aware. Somehow, I understand that the others who own it are not only co-owners of the same inheritance but are also beloved brethren and instead of being jealous or envious of someone else claiming something that I know is rightfully mine, the original fellow who left us this thing taught his followers to help each other to share it boundlessly and heartfully support its equal ownership by their brethren.

There’s an interesting thing about this object of which I speak, and this is perhaps the biggest reason there are so many detractors of the truth of it – it’s invisible – to know it’s real you have to believe it exists, but you can feel it if you try to hear and learn about it. One can hear it with the heart, so to speak, but not everyone can – only those who are willing to stop their worldly pursuits long enough to listen. It’s like someone knocking at your door, you hear the rapping, but unless you open the door you never have to admit anyone was there, much less listen to what he might have had to say. Now even though you can argue that no one was there and there was no message delivered, you can’t honestly argue that you didn’t hear the knocking.

The closet I mentioned earlier is actually the vault of my own heart, and there are many things in there – some if not most of which I really, really need to get rid of, but I’m afraid I’m stricken with the remembrance of them, at least until that time comes. But even though its invisible to the human eye, the valuable object is in a prominent place there. A valuable lesson I’ve learned is that the more time I spend studying and meditating on that blessed thing, the less time I spend regretting the bad things – things that someday will be gone forever. Which brings this story around to the object again, if you can really call it an object – I don’t think there are words in the languages of men to do it justice. The story that has been passed down also relates to that time I mentioned earlier when the one who left the object said he’d return. I believe He will return; He will want to see His blessed object on earth and how well I (we) have cared for it. He will already know how or if we listened to the part of His message about caring for each other, and at that time we will realize just how well He knows. If things stay the way they are going there will be plenty of rubble and debris around to testify as to how mankind listened.

He spoke of a wonderful reward for those who shared the object with their neighbors, He spoke of the new life to come, and of the joy and wonder of a place we have yet to see, in which the owners of His beloved gift who nurtured it will spend in eternal paradise.

If you enjoyed this, by all means share it with someone, by doing so you will show your desire to assume your share of ownership of our inheritance.

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

Hatred of Genocide Ain’t a New Thing

Could it be that as our world disintegrates before our eyes that we are being presented with a challenge that will determine our future, a test of sorts that very simply defines who we are, or who we’d like to be? Is it a test of our faith to see if we can resist the hatred born of witnessing evil? If you are an American living in the 21st century, you’ve learned about the American Indians who were the proprietors of the home of the brave, back then they were even called braves. Though I’m just an old Ozark hillbilly living as a simple redneck, I have a profound respect for those folks, and a profound regret for what our forebears did to them.

Now that we’re seeing first-hand what colonialism, genocide, and extreme racial prejudice looks like in our day, we should remember that our ancestors were as guilty of this barbarism as what we witness today. This same mindset has been prominent throughout history as empires came and went. People are being slaughtered without mercy – that doesn’t make it right by any stretch, but it has happened countless times through history, and you’d think we would’ve advanced beyond this inhumane behavior, but alas, I guess we haven’t. If anything has changed at all, we’ve developed more depraved ways to torture and kill. This genocide we are watching today isn’t something new, it’s just happening in our lifetime, indeed before our eyes.

Most human beings aren’t totally heartless, so it stands to reason that at least some of us are shocked to see such barbarism and destruction as we see in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s difficult to imagine our esteemed American ancestors visiting this level of malevolence on the Indians, but they did, they just didn’t use 2,000-pound bombs. In fact, the genocide being perpetrated on the Palestinians is exactly the same, and for the same reasons – the invaders wanted the land, and they weren’t willing to share it – the invaders had to have it all. They also were convinced they were of a superior race. They were willing to stoop to whatever level of depravity necessary (and unnecessary) to get the land, too. That’s where the revelation of whom they serve becomes obvious, for Satan takes great delight in seeing the viciousness of which his servants become capable under his tutelage.

The only possible remediation to the evil of colonialism is to stop it – shut it down. We can’t go back and undo what has been done, there’s just too much water gone under the bridge for that, but we could take time out from whatever manifestation of evil we find ourselves involved in (or against) and try to peacefully resolve our issues. There have been several international “agreements” that were passed to address and prevent one sovereign nation from stealing property from another sovereign nation, but when a government has the power and the opportunity to “seize” assets of another country or another people, they always avail themselves – mankind cannot help himself and history has proven this. Satan, always through fiduciary malfeasance, has bestowed this power upon those who choose to serve him, and resolving problems using peaceful means is never his strategy.

When Satan took Jesus up on the pinnacle where He could see the whole world, the devil offered Him control over the kingdoms of the world – power and riches beyond imagination, Jesus denied him, because He would have to worship Satan to receive it. Few men have denied this generous offer, it’s the very reason there are such wealthy people in the world – they took the devil up on his offer. As part of the bargain, they play a big part in the evils going on in the world, including the support of genocide. Wealthy Zionists work feverishly behind the scenes to shut down protests against genocide on American college campuses, they us the evil AIPAC political lobby to try and get legislation passed to illegalize speech they don’t like and foment diverse attacks on the US constitution.

Only a few years ago when someone spoke of evil men taking over the world, they were made the objects of ridicule, and this was part of the plan. Such grandiose malfeasance as world domination was so unimaginable, people who spoke of it were made out to be fanatical conspiracy theorists, at least until sufficient power could be accumulated for this exact objective to be realized, because when enough power ($=power) could be amassed, it would no longer be necessary to heap scorn upon those who try to warn the masses, they can do their dirty work right out in the open with no fear of popular uprisings against them, or so they think. Sadly, the vast majority of people are perfectly willing to voluntarily extend their hands for the shackles with which they will be enslaved. Few dare to risk being radical enough to publicly speak against the evil they are seeing. In fact, such free speech is becoming illegal in more and more places, constitutions be damned.

I’ve written about this before, but it’s important to stay mindful of the treachery of Satan. He knows full well that the rich guys who currently serve him only have a limited time to operate. Sooner or later even the slowest of John Q Public will realize what is going on and eventually the pitchforks will appear. This is when Satan will produce a premeditated army of implacably angry proles who have once again learned how the wealthy – including government leaders – have dealt so treacherously with them and one of the biggest, yet unexpected objectives of his strategy will come to fruition. Common people will have hatred in their hearts for the aristocracy (see French Revolution) and otherwise normal people will think it’s justifiable to commit offenses against the covenant of Jesus Christ, acting out of abhorrence for those who tried to enslave them. You see, Satan doesn’t in the least mind turning on his servants, in this case the ones he provided with wealth and power, in order to gain the multitudes’ subservience. There are many more souls to be had among the proletariat than those of the few wealthy ones, and for him it’s a numbers game, after all. He also harbors a special hatred for Jesus and those who choose to follow Him. He has no power to harm the Lord, but he has several ways to try and defeat Jesus’ followers. One of his proven methods is to instill such frustration into the hearts of good men that they allow anger to fester into hatred. When people rise up and begin to take vengeance, they become his Satan’s new trusted servants, so he wins souls either way. Do you really think the internet would be available to conspiracy freaks to point out the evil elites if this were not the case? People can use alternative media to say things that stir up the mob, because anger, frustration and hatred are all in his toolbox. For now, we Christians can use the net to warn others, but that is rapidly changing, due to content censorship. If you doubt the effectiveness of this sewing of hatred, just read the comments of most popular blogs.

There’s a lot of back and forth going on in social media about all of the dastardly atrocities that are happening, and there are indeed some hideously evil things taking place, but the revelations of these things is only part of the plan. Populations worldwide are hearing of these developments – the elites and the governments they control can no longer keep a lid on them – so a seething rage is building, as I said, it’s part of Satan’s plan. At some point folks will get enough and the house of cards that Satan dealt the “elites” will come down, but if common people aren’t careful, they will become the new servants, and this because of the desire for vengeance. This is also a very effective weapon of the devil, and Christians must beware of it. God said He’d take care of the payback part of all this, and we must trust that He will. Do not give in to the desire to see those bad guys hanging on lamp posts, because when you do that, the same enemy wins. Also be aware that the plans of the “elites” and Satan’s plans don’t always coincide, so when you see and hear voices talking about the evil “elites”, keep your guard up – even if what they are saying sounds true, the devil might be coming at you from a different direction.

Wealthy people are too caught up in decadent lifestyles and the ego-stroking echo chambers around them to realize what’s building. They completely leave God and His warnings out of their plans, to their utter damnation. God will, in His time, deal with those who persecute the innocent, especially His own servants, and we, as believers in Jesus Christ, must be vigilant to remember this and not take (or promote) our own vengeance. Stay above the fray, keep the narrow gate in sight; pray for the very ones you know work for the enemy, so that you can be like our Father who makes the rain fall on good people and evil ones as well.

There have been genocides, ethnic cleansing, and other malevolent persecutions of human beings through all of history – the one we see today is nothing new. As human beings, of course we can do better than this, but for right now we have to recognize and keep in mind Satan’s purpose – he can and has caused people to kill each other for time immemorial, but in this age of instantaneous information, for the first time he has a tool with which he is capable of corrupting the hearts of multitudes more humans more quickly than ever. He has the opportunity to foment hatred in the hearts of everyday people with a lust for vengeance. Just take time to think it through and you’ll be able to avoid this snare he has set for believers. In the secular world, things happen for a reason and don’t think for a second that Satan would be reluctant to throw his wealthy servants under the bus in order to defeat servants of Jesus Christ.

Please be aware that the people in most megachurches led by millionaire pastors are not faced with this threat – Satan already has them where he wants them, so don’t expect them to worry about or succumb to hatred of those who engage in genocide. In fact, most of them actually support it. No, this is a special trap set to try and capture the minds of true believers, those who follow Christ but still might be susceptible due to their repugnance of genocide to the extent that it might spawn hatred in their hearts. If you fall into this category of Christians, be honored that the enemy has a special strategy just for us, recognize it and do not fall for it. Pray for them. Pray for the wisdom to recognize this and all other snares of the enemy.

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

Beyond the Intensity of the Great Conflict

As we watch the wars around the world, we could overlook the big one that is coming. This one will involve all believers in Jesus Christ and one day soon it will be over. Meanwhile, we will be expected to voluntarily walk into the greatest battle humanity has ever faced and fight with our heart and soul. We will have no fighter aircraft nor mortars – not even a rifle with which to repel the enemy that will be upon us, but we will still have a great advantage over him. We will also have a song in our collective heart that will announce the absolute victory we will have attained. The song is:

“Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, O’ king of the saints. Who shall not fear you, O’ Lord, and glorify Yor name? For you alone are Holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You. For Your judgements have been manifested.”

Image result for free pics of jesus carrying the cross

When we are assailed by our enemy, when our chances of survival seem to grow dim as the darkness besets us, this song of praise to our King will lift our spirit. This is the song of victory of the saints who are faithful to the end – the song that will be voiced by those who overcome the mark of the beast and refuse to worship him. The Bible doesn’t tell us how many saints will be around to sing this song, but I expect that among the hordes of people who emerge from the battle, comparatively few will be able to give voice to this wonderful song of victory. If I were the reader here, I would make it a point to memorize it so you will be able to join the chorus at the appointed time. Be a voice.

Our faith in Jesus is the greatest weapon we will have at our disposal to wield against the very powerful enemy we will be required to fight, but no matter how dreadful he may appear, we must refuse to be intimidated; we must never surrender. All we have ever understood to be good, to be righteous in the course of the ages, will be on the line. There will come a time when we must even go against our human instinct and realize something more important than even our earthly lives will be at risk during this spiritual battle and it’s imperative that we get a prior understanding of that before we determine to join the fray. You see, the realization is the important part, for our eternal soul is indeed at stake, we just have to get to the point where we acknowledge that and fight accordingly. Also, and very importantly we are able to disarm the enemy when our fear is no longer in play for 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.” We have to double down on our faith and pray for God’s love, there’s no other option.

I like to imagine that day when we look around us at the smoldering ruin that was our world, sweat and blood dripping from this earthly shell as God wrests our spirit away, when we are able to clearly shout and sing hallelujahs and praise to our King Who brought us through the great war to a victory of which the very angels of Heaven will have witnessed. I believe those angels will be singing along with us with voices of such beauty that we could have never imagined and as Jesus our Lord walks up to His soldiers one by one and welcomes us into His unfathomably magnificent Heavenly Kingdom which appears beyond that river – the great river we at one time feared to cross. The power of His love will be revealed, and we will be able to feel it with senses we don’t have now, but to say it’s going to be a marvelous experience is a huge understatement, but then, we don’t have words in any human language to describe such Heavenly splendor. No words at all.

God is eternal, so before He created human beings, He and Heaven had been around from time immemorial, and after we are gone to our eternal abode, He and Heaven will be around forever, but maybe there will be songs and stories of mankind’s great struggle – and Jesus shepherding us to our victory – in Heaven forever – but who knows?

We indeed must resolve to fight this battle to the end as loyal soldiers, always looking to victory. When you begin to understand how it must be fought you will be amazed at the weapons we have at our disposal. Our enemy has no access to our arsenal. All who decided not to fight – those who rejected Jesus – will look on with helpless and agonizing envy when they see our jubilation and joy! Now it’s on you to find Jesus and get to know Him. He’s not that far away.

If you plan to join this amazing celebration, just in case there are no lyric sheets around, you should probably memorize the song – it’s in Revelation 15:3,4.

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

The Real War – Between Wealth and Faith

It would be easier to just turn and walk away. I have to confess, the temptation is there. I often feel like a fool for trying to get folks to at least look into opening their Bibles and take that decision to finally address their problems, indeed the problems of their world, through the eyes of one who believes in Jesus Christ. He very plainly tells us that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. [John 14:6] No matter how cross-threaded one is, it’s hard to misinterpret what He is saying in that statement – especially the Way part. If you’re looking for a way to deal with – not the problems of the world, they’ll only be solved when He comes back – but how those problems are affecting you right now, Jesus is the Way and there is no other. Believe me, I’ve been as frustrated as anybody. Like most folks, I wish there was some magic wand someone could wave and fix this mess we’re in, but that option isn’t available. I wish people would stop expecting some politician to step up and get us going in a better direction, but that’s not going to happen. There will indeed be one, who will appear at first to solve our problems, but he will be the very one we must avoid.

Donald Trump is once again in a position where he might try to solve the world’s problems – if that was his intent. But as before, without Jesus Christ’s guidance, he won’t be successful. I don’t care how sold you are on him, he is just another rich man out to get richer, and that’s the bottom line. Look at all the billionaires in his administration. I’m not saying he’s the antiChrist, but he seems to be auditioning for the role.

There are statues of him everywhere

For their entire lives on this earth. these people have never known what it’s like to worry about their lights being turned off for the lack of money to pay their electric bills. For Pete’s sake if Trump was really trying to help with the country’s serious problems, don’t you think he’d be hiring people with some semblance of ability to tackle homelessness. Our cities are in shambles. America definitely needs to be great (again?), and no amount of fealty to Benjamin Netanyahu is going to fix that. Trump’s been in office almost a month now, and the only moves he has made thus far is to prostrate himself to wealthy Zionists, even moreso than Joe Biden did, and that’s a low bar. His obeisance to Netanyahu was particularly disappointing for Americans -particularly those who wanted to see him as a courageous leader – to have to watch.

The fake $100 bills in this pic have “In Trump We Trust” on his goat statue in Mara Lago.

Donald Trump, in his quest to appear wealthy, smart, and successful, continues to thoroughly embarrass America, both at home and especially in all foreign countries, he’s shaming America. That’s a real pathetic issue for sure, but there are several pressing ones. There’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for them all. Our nation has almost completely abandoned God – that’s the root cause of our problems!

Personally, I don’t believe we should accept the insult to God that printing “In God We Trust” on money in the first place. The idolatrous love for money is the root of all evil and the one thing the Bible warns us about more than anything else, but to substitute Trump for God even in this out-of-place phrase is openly proclaiming Trump to be equal with God – the original sin of Satan. This is blatant idolatry, goat and all.

I live in an area of the country where houses still proudly wave Trump campaign flags. One day when the evil of his administration is manifested, they may out of conscience opt to take them down, but God is taking pictures of those yards to remind folks (in case they haven’t repented) at the judgement that they supported this fellow. Of course, the democrats are as bad or worse, but opposing one evil group by supporting another one will be no excuse.

Do you really want to put yourself in the position to have explain to the Lord why you had something like this in your yard?

So here we are, most people at a loss for what to do, how to deal with this tsunami of evil overtaking the world, and so few of us have come to the realization that mankind doesn’t have the power within us to emerge victorious from it. At some point in the near future, a Savior will indeed appear, and He will decisively and forever defeat the enemy, but when that happens, it’ll be too late to get off the fence. [Revelation 16:15] “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.” [16;18,19]: “And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.” A horrific moment for all who have rejected the Son of God. I think America fits the description of the great Babylon here, don’t you?

The opportunity for individuals to win this battle is slipping away, and no amount of fealty to wealthy people will help in the end. Jesus is the only Way, we need to start looking at our situation from a new perspective, one in which we are able to see that there is another existence, for only by understanding there is a better life ahead will we able to comprehend and elude the evil that is upon us. Too many of us reject the very faith that is able to save us, and it’s the only path to victory – those who turn to wealth, or even the desire of it, will be in for a horrible time.

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

Promises, Prayers, and Patience of the Saints

The things happening in the world today should serve, if nothing else, to reveal to us that mankind does not have it in him to direct his own way. For crying out loud, look where we are! Look at the horrors of war and destruction happening in so many places in the world – how can humankind be so smug as to behave as though men are in control of everything when we watch the homes of multimillionaires – some of them supporters or financiers of genocide – burning into cinders in some of the ritziest places in Los Angeles? Their money couldn’t save their homes; is this God’s way of showing us that wealth and the (illusion of) security it brings are by no means absolute?

I personally believe the LA fires, as well as all of the unusually severe weather events, such as the winter storm that just ravaged Great Britain and the Saudi Arabian floods in the desert – are reminders from the Almighty that He is watching. He’s watching as tens of thousands of children are being mercilessly slaughtered in places like Gaza – especially in Gaza – and He hears prayers by the thousands, maybe millions, for His intercession, as we wait for Him to move. It’s an odd thing that we seem to hope for the hosts of Heaven to appear, angelic swords and lightning flashing; thunder pealing, looking for the planes and tanks of the evil ones to burst into flames, but alas for us impatient folks, God works in His own way – maybe those things will take place one day, but for now we are left to try and connect the dots between the Hind Rajab atrocity and the fires in the Pacific Palisades; between the demon-possessed military men who laugh as they post videos of blowing up homes in Gaza and snarled traffic from unexpected snowstorms in places that have never seen snow, at least in living memory.

As believers in Jesus Christ, we have to force ourselves to acknowledge the disconnect (and it is a huge disconnect) between how we would handle the atrocities that are going on, and how the Almighty chooses to deal with it. Keep in mind that He can see both sides of this experience we call existence. He sees what is happening here on earth for sure, but unlike us He also is able to see things on the other side, and therefore has other resources besides His great wisdom from which to draw on for the action He takes. I think this is the main reason we allow ourselves to be so incredulous as we await signs of His retribution upon those who perpetrate this evil genocide. For instance, we are shocked and dismayed at the loss of life of the children and other victims, but He sees those children sitting in eternal joy in the arms of Jesus on the other side – He knows they are and will forevermore be safe and their tears have been wiped away, so His methodology is not influenced by their loss the same way as it drives us (to hope for vengeance) here on earth.

God is eternal, time means nothing to Him, so He doesn’t have to be in a rush and has the luxury of patience, and as odd as it may sound, the worst offenders of human norms right now have the same opportunity for repentance and salvation as anyone else, and it’s quite possible that their consciences will evoke contrition to the extent that they might seek Jesus Christ. At least the opportunity is there for now. Many of them have been unable to come to grips with some of the things they have done and instead of repenting, have taken their own lives like the Israeli bulldozer operator a while back. Right now, everyone has time to seek Christ’s forgiveness and come to the Kingdom, but that time is growing short. How do we know this? [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.” He has but a short time in which to do his wickedness and he knows it therefore his wrath and hatred of all things moral and Godly is being revealed – he is out in the open with it, daily hammering at the fortresses in which good people try to take refuge, so we must be sure the refuge we choose is the right one.

As believers in Christ, our Fortress is the solid Rock – Jesus Christ – which Satan, try as he might, cannot assail, and he seethes with rage against those of us who have chosen Jesus Christ in order to be victorious over this world of which the devil with all his riches temporarily has charge. Do not give in to the despair of watching the evils that are happening! The situation, as dire as it is for now, is not hopeless! We are not, nor will we ever be helpless, no matter how desperate things appear – that despair is one of the devil’s most lethal weapons and it works best against those who are faint of heart. Our hearts can be strengthened, though: [Psalm 27:14]: “Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!” We must be patient – Jesus spoke of the importance of patience in the last days, He even told us how as well as the importance of being patient, [Revelation 14:12]: “Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Yes – following His commandments and keeping the faith in Jesus results in our patience. Some things are still to take place before the end, among which wars and rumors of wars will plague humankind until the very end: [Revelation 14:12] “He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”

There’s are many places in Scripture that speak of patience such as one of my own favorites from the Apostle Paul: [2 Thessalonians 3:5]: “Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.” The point is that we must go against our human nature of impatience – no matter how dire the situation – and keep on trusting that God will take care of things in His time, no matter how urgent things might seem to us at a given moment.

Food for thought: Our prayers mean a lot to the Father: [James 5:16]: “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Since we realize our prayers can influence the Father, think about this. Our prayers have great significance when they reach His throne, He will take action: [Revelation 8:3] “Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.” Our prayers will play a big role in the events of the end times – before the very throne of God! We must never allow ourselves to believe our prayers aren’t important!

The human-induced events happening in the world these days may very well be connected to fires and floods. Worse punishment from God has been levied in the past because of human behavior. Remember Sodom. God is the Master planner – it may be that in the decadent places of the world God has chosen to show the wealthy just how impotent they really are in the face of His awesome power. For instance, we might indeed be impressed at the destruction caused by a 2,000 lb. bomb, but have you ever considered what it might be like to witness God’s devastation in a super volcano eruption, or how about a stellar nova up close? Mankind has it in his power to blow up a building or even a city, but the Almighty can take out millions of light years of stars and planets whenever He wants. Wildfires and floods in decadent cities are no problem for Him to set and spread with high winds of His mighty breath.

Satan might have the upper hand with human beings for now, but you can rest assured that’s about to change – and forever so. In the meantime, pray, just chill out and watch God work…

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

The Harvest of Our Spiritual Agriculture

There are some big corporate farms, less in number are large family-owned farms, and tons of tiny farms, or just country homesteads that grow gardens. Some places are trying to make it illegal to have a garden, such as in Oregon where TPTB are claiming that the homestead’s need for irrigation water creates a situation where a permit is required to raise a garden there. Somewhere in those ivory towers where the commanders of humanity hang out, it looks like someone doesn’t want folks to be able to fend for themselves when they decide to drop the hammer on the economy. Looks like Oregon is one of the first test sites for legislation that appears to discourage any degree of independence from corporate America. These sources of questionable legislation are endeavoring to shut down the private raising of livestock, too. Especially chickens, at least for now, but they have made several moves that indicate they will go after beef and pork as well. Slowly but inexorably, the beast system is herding everyone into pens of its mastery where we all become beggars and slaves, with no hope of fending for ourselves.

This post addresses another type of harvest, one that requires a different kind of water of which there is an endless supply if we avail ourselves of it. [Revelation 22:17:”And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely”. No legislation can possibly be enacted which could prevent our access to this metaphorical water, nor indeed our successful involvement and/or operation of the type of gardening that needs it. [Revelation 14:14]: “Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.” This relates to that Day when Jesus Christ gathers His chosen people as if it were a great harvest – and it will be! This will be the seminal, monumental event in all of human history when we will finally be taken from this evil world that is currently controlled by Satan and his minions. The evil of this world will never again be a threat to believers.

Can you imagine for a moment the horror this event will slam into the hearts of the evil servants of the devil? Those who traded any and every vestige of their opportunity for eternal joy and happiness for a few days of mastery over the slaves of the world – will no doubt be aghast at what they’ve done. All these latter years they spend digging out bunkers and supplying them with provender – every bit as perishable as their human bodies – will have been totally wasted, and at that moment, they will finally realize it. [Luke 27:21: “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” The Son of Man, who they soundly rejected as they amassed fortunes, will reveal Himself in a way that leaves absolutely no possibility of doubt of His Kingship any longer!

Billionaires will rue their choice to spend their lives pursuing wealth and will be horribly reminded of each and every night they slept in soft plush decadence with enough money in the bank to have fed millions of starving kids who went to bed hungry those same nights. At the moment of Christ’s appearance, they will realize the wealth they have amassed will not avail them towards His forgiveness. They will finally and shockingly face Someone who cannot be bribed. They won’t find videos of Him engaging in any Epstein mischief. There won’t be a Mossad or CIA assassin who might be interested in trying to eliminate Him. They will be done! No private jet or yacht will take them away to a tropical island.

There always comes an end…

To their eternal dismay, Jesus in His glory will be incomparably more fearsome than He was as a poor carpenter’s son. To say His wrath will terrify those folks who have grown accustomed to having things their way will be an understatement. Even their willing servants will join in their horror: [Revelation 6:15-16]:”And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! Imagine being so horrified that you beg for death – death which might remove the body but can never remove the terror that has come upon the eternal soul.

He who wields the sickle will complete the harvest and take His beloved children to an unimaginable paradise which He personally prepared for them. [John 14:2]:“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” Unimaginable because the Apostle Paul also said: [1 Corinthians 2:9]:”But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” My friends, our eternal souls will truly experience a happiness of which owning a yacht or earthly mansion could never come close.

What do we need to do to gain access to the wonderful promises of Jesus? Simply to make that choice to listen to Him: [Revelation 3:20]:”Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” All we have to do is open that door and let Him come into our hearts. I really don’t believe that sickle is going to hurt a bit, but the joy will be worth it!

Keep growing the garden – He will bless you with His abundance, both metaphorically and literally. They might be able to come and take away your carrots and cabbages, but they can’t touch the spiritual harvest – it forever belongs to the One with the sickle.

May the Almighty Father’s blessings find and keep us all.

Finally! How to Fight A War Worth Fighting

If you have to engage an enemy in battle, some of the most important things you need to know are what kinds of weapons he has in his arsenal, how and when he intends to use them, and maybe the most critical, how you must defend against each weapon.

The battle of which I speak is, of course, that battle for your soul, and you can trust that the cunning enemy is willing to use everything in his power to defeat you.

It’s snowing here in this neck of the Ozarks this morning, and though I’m an old geezer now, I’m still as excited to see a beautiful snowfall as that kid back in rural East Texas long ago. Of course, we rarely got snow down there, so it was a special treat.

God is amazing at creating silent beauty

After a few days on the ground, the ice and the magic dissipate and we invariably look forward to some thawing out, but for now the dogs are playing excitedly, crows are partying and it’s nice. Now I suppose you’re wondering how this post is trying to connect a snowfall event with the spiritual war in which we are engaged, and by geriatric logic it’s sort of simple – since we have inclement weather and are pretty much stuck inside, the need to write a post on this topic has been on my mind, so today’s snow event has provided a perfect time for it.

The Apostle Paul does a discourse in his epistle to the Ephesians on the subject of spiritual warfare in which he points out the things God provides to His army – the people who have chosen to join with Jesus. His army is comprised of all volunteers, so we are spared the indignity of forced conscription – we’ve all seen videos of the Ukranian Nazi “recruiters” dragging those poor kids (and old men) into the vans to send them to die. Fortunately for us, God doesn’t need anyone to help Him to defeat the enemy, and He allows for our voluntary submission to – and faith in – Jesus Christ to be the only requirements to join His ranks. Where the Ukraine purpose seems to only be servitude to Satan by fomenting as much death and destruction as possible, the army the Lord calls us to join is the Way to victory over death. We are issued Spiritual defensive weapons which we wield to stave off the attacks of the enemy, and one offensive weapon with which we can both beat back his threats and attacks as well as invade his army.

[Ephesians 6:11]: “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” This armor of which the Apostle Paul speaks is critical and necessary because [Eph 6:12]: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Wow! In order to get some idea of what we, as believers in Jesus are up against, cogitate on that one for a while! We indeed have a powerful host of enemies arrayed against us and we must not underestimate them.

With all the violence, the wars, and the rage in the physical world today, the Word tells us that there is also a more critical war in the spiritual realm, and since the powerful enemy exists there, believers must acknowledge that we are in for a struggle, and it would even seem hopeless but for the power of God and the armor which we have at our disposal. The apostle describes all of it and it’s purpose, and it all comes from the Word of God. [Ephesians 6:14-17]: “Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God…” “Gird your waist with truth,” and where do we obtain truth? Jesus said [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 is no other source of truth we can rely on but Jesus Christ! As for the breastplate of righteousness, Abraham was one of the greatest examples: [Genesis 15:6]: “And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.” So, true belief in the Lord (which entails belief in His mighty power) is the main requirement. This breastplate is closely related to the “shield of faith”, which is another crucial defensive weapon [Hebrews 11:6]:” But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” So, we are also able, with this piece of the armor, faith, to defend ourselves but only when we believe in God and His power.

“Having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace”, but how do we accomplish this? The gospel of peace is the gospel of the Prince of peace. The gospel is to be found predominately in the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, but is alluded to throughout the Bible in both the old and new testaments. We must diligently study and “abide in His word” [John 8:31] to be able to wield this piece of the armor.

And what is our offensive weapon? It’s the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. The weapons and attire that the apostle enumerates in his passage are all defensive in nature to thwart the effect of the enemy’s weapons except this one, we have the Word of God, which is Jesus Christ and with whose power we can help others to find salvation – the perfect foray into the ranks of the enemy. [John 1:14]: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” With this mighty sword, we are able to attack the enemy and much to his chagrin, help to conscript the lost into Jesus’ mighty army.

Are you ready to don this weaponry and fight for Jesus in the Spiritual war? It’s the one war that counts. When it is over and the battle is won, His army is guaranteed to be victorious, and His soldiers will have an eternal mansion where He is – where He and His servants will be forever: [John 14:2,3]: “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” When He left, He wasn’t just leaving for no reason – He had something important to do. Just imagine; a mansion built by Jesus for me! I’m in! Amen!

And still the beautiful snow from Heaven flies…

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

The Great Battle of and for the Church Ain’t Over

No normal human being with a heart and soul can possibly justify, rationalize, or especially ignore – the travesty that is taking place in Palestine today. Certainly no practicing Christian can support the outright murder of children, this is beyond insane! As far as the church goes, for a man who is looked at as a minister of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to stand before an audience of would-be servants of Jesus and try to convince them that as Christians, they need to support the Zionist cause (which includes these endless acts of murder of innocents), is a universe away from the truth, and these misled sheep will find that if they don’t stop following these teachings, it will eventually cost them their eternal souls.

Men, women, and children of Gaza and the West Bank are losing their possessions, their homes, their lives and most tragically, the lives and limbs of their children every day and the so-called Christian members of many mega churches are expected to unquestioningly support the purveyors of this wanton murder. These parishioners support it because some demon-possessed millionaire pastor has twisted the Bible scriptures into some grotesque screed that requires them to support murder by a Synagogue of Satan – and they seem to be okay with it. For the sake of your own soul, people, stop listening to these evil creatures and READ YOUR OWN BIBLE! Understand that with the right motivation ($$$), those who follow Satan can contort the scriptures and make the Bible say whatever they want it to say. That’s why to gain a proper understanding of God’s Word, we must have the Spirit within us to reveal it to us as we dig into it for ourselves. If the words of this post seem strong, then I suppose it’s good, as many of us are passionate in our service to Christ; maybe it will wake some up. I believe we will be forgiven for using language that might be too passionate; but there will be no forgiveness for staying silent in the face of evil.

People not familiar with Christianity, especially in other nations see this support by “Christian” churches for abject genocide and are aghast that any “religion” could support something that even the most secular of atheists can plainly see is wrong. For this reason, many non-believers reject Christianity because a big chunk of its followers support Zionist murder. This support is largely due to the followers of said churches buying into the notion of the “righteousness” of today’s Israel. People who are not familiar with the Bible actually think Christianity teaches that we should be on board with genocide, and from the gusto with which false teachers spout their fabrications, you can’t blame outsiders for thinking so. Those mega church members who listen to charlatan millionaires are committing grave offenses to their own religion, and there’s no way God could be pleased. Though I am not a preacher, nor have I lived the ideal Christian life in my past, the Spirit inside my heart is stirring – It’s telling me to speak through this platform to try and reach as many people as possible who seek to serve the Lord and turn them from supporting the obvious evil being visited upon the Palestinians. If the reader knows anyone who may be caught in the snare of which I’m speaking, share this post and maybe some of this will hit home. And no, I’m not saying like and subscribe; my site is not monetized, and although it’s encouraging to see good numbers of folks are interested in the truth of Jesus Christ, as far as my vast wealth goes it makes no difference if I have many or few readers. I write strictly from the Word of God and things the Spirit says to my conscience and my conscience says it’s high time for real Christians to stand up and be seen and heard. When we find ourselves surrounded by those who support behavior that goes against the teachings of Jesus, we must remove ourselves: [2 Corinthians 6:17]’ Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” Think about it, we have this amazing chance to show God that we are willing to stand with Jesus and in this case against the martyrdom of innocent Palestinians – and true followers of Jesus Christ are the only people in the whole world whose fervent prayers can get this travesty stopped.

News flash! The people of the geographical nation of Israel are NOT God’s Chosen people! Just because they call themselves Jews does not make them Jews, and Jesus plainly says of the people (of the last days) who call themselves Jews are not Jews at all, and that it is blasphemy for them to make the claim that they are. They are a synagogue of Satan, [Revelation 3:9],” Indeed I (Jesus) will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie —indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you…. “, and it doesn’t matter to the Lord how much (ill-gotten) money their wealthy benefactors here in the US pour into the American government, the universities, and the mega churches, they are indeed a synagogue of Satan, and nothing short of them repenting and accepting Jesus Christ is going to change that! Satan has given them ($$$) power over a big portion of the world, and we true Christians are fighting this battle without any support from worldly sources. But we have to keep trying to hammer the point home that if we get and keep our heads screwed on right and follow Jesus to the very end, and that if we reject $atan’s offers, we can expect to win this fight! Of course, Satan knows it too, so expect some serious bumps in the road we have chosen, but He promises you it will have been worth it in the end when we hear Him say [Matthew 25:23]: “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” What must gnaw at the very essence of Satan is the fact that neither he nor any of his servants will ever experience the joy of hearing that absolute statement of victory. It is within our reach, folks!

I have a habit, and I suppose it’s a habit we can get into from the frustration of feeling helpless to do anything about the travesty that is Palestine. This habit is allowing the optimism that we sometimes get when watching news clips about the fighting going on in places like Gaza, and it seems like every time we hear of some minor success of the Resistance, we tend to feel vindication because we’re pulling for them, but on some level of our spirit, we have to know deep down that this battle cannot be won with more violence. We must remember that the people who are committing this incredible evil are still human beings – it’s just that their spirit has been taken over by evil – that evil is the enemy. Some of the most courageous and wise men who have ever lived such as Mohandas Ghandi, Martin Luther King, oh, and Jesus Christ, taught that violence is not the way to victory. Violence only begets more violence. Hatred only begets more hatred – one of our biggest obstacles in these times of evil is that if we aren’t careful, we allow hatred to fester in our hearts. There’s a good argument to be made from the scriptures, that it is no sin to become angry at the evil that’s happening, but when we allow that anger to foment hatred or violence against other people, we begin down that slippery slope toward sin, and if we don’t rein it in, then Satan wins that way too. And after everything is said and done, that’s where the ultimate battle is taking place – in each and every one of our hearts. Jesus indeed teaches us how to gain victory over evil, and though His methodology goes against every human instinct inside us, it is the correct Way – the ONLY Way to achieve what He intends for us – victory! And, from the way things are developing, this victory is going to have to be won on the final lap, but it looks like that’s the way it’s intended, but that’s another issue.

We, as followers of Christ, have access to the greatest weapon ever known. That is the love of God, and the evil ones can never access His love. Satan cannot bear the notion that the poorest peasants in the world can obtain something he can never have – and to further his frustration, the righteous ones cannot be bought with his most significant weapon – money. The love of God is the greatest force that could ever be brought to bear, and only we who follow Jesus Christ have access to it. And it’s free for the asking. As many of us try to awaken Christians who are being misled by servants of Satan posing as ministers, I try to help them to imagine what power is within their grasp! If the Christian world were to awaken and rise up in condemnation of this great sin of genocide, we have access to the Power that could stop it. If millions of Christians were to fervently pray the same prayer, we could move mountains – and stop genocide! Satan knows that, and he pays his pulpit managers handsomely to keep those members (who could otherwise avail themselves of this power) convinced that: a) The ridiculous notion that the murderers are the righteous Chosen of God, b) It’s okay with God for the murders to be taking place, because, a). None of them speak of the love of God and its power. None of them know about the love of God, nor do they have any idea of its power. None except their master, Satan.

If you happen to be one who has not made the choice to follow Christ, there’s another power you can have – that of the blood of Jesus for forgiveness of sin which was shed for precisely that purpose thousands of years ago. With the decision to follow Jesus, when you are baptized into His Kingdom, every sin, every error, every bad choice you have ever made in your whole life will be instantly forgiven, gone forever, the Almighty God himself will approve you just as you are, such is the power of this marvelous blood. If you read this in some country overseas and would like to be part of that fellowship, seek out a Christian ministry, they are all over the world, and join it. The US is full of churches, and some of them are real – find one. Get your hands on a Holy Bible and read it.

On the last day of war on earth, Jesus will have amassed a mighty army with which He will emerge victorious over the servants of evil who challenge Him. Those who chose to serve in that mighty army will be peasants, servants, farmers, shepherds, not military types at all, and certainly not wealthy people, but those who will have chosen to join ranks with Him – you, and me, the meek and lowly of the earth who have put pride behind them and rejected a sinful life of decadence on this earth – in exchange for that joyous promise of eternal life in His presence. Those who have decided much to the chagrin of Satan, that they cannot be bought at any price. Then pray to the Lord and watch Him work – to say He is amazing would be the quintessential understatement. No one knows, no one can imagine the peace and joy of the existence we are about to inherit! You can purchase your ticket ahead of time by accepting and choosing to follow Jesus Christ today. He has already paid the price.

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