Jesus: Reactions, Responses Matter

What God hates
Reactions God Hates

Jesus taught it isn’t how we are treated or what is said to us that matters, those things will most assuredly happen, it’s how we react that matters. Try seeing yourself and others through that lens. Be self aware intently for a time. When someone triggers you, however your instant reaction is, stop, remain quiet, no gestures, examine it, think it through. Recall past words, gestures, responses when you were proud of yourself and when you weren’t. Did someone, or something get the “best of you”, and actually brought out the worst of you. So, so many times in the 27 letters, we read the words of Jesus, Him teaching, preaching, counseling, advocating us that it isn’t what happens TO us that matters, it is how we REACT that does. Why did he say that so often? Want examples, I’ve got plenty, read on. This is part one, part two coming soon.

It’s Always Been About Control

If there is one message, I could say to everyone right now, and only one, it is this.   Wake up sleepers!  It is the end times, the battle of good and evil rages, and they are both trying to own your soul and your eternal life. Every soul on the planet will have to decide for themselves this question: is Revelation 13:16 true prophesy, or foolishness. 

And, before I get started, let me just say that my words of persuasion or anyone’s words will never, I said never, persuade anyone to give their life to Jesus.  No apologies to all you preachers, pastors, and teachers, but your skills at speaking and your ego’s cannot write the check for the lost souls you have lead astray. I used to think I could talk the talk and others would follow right to Jesus. But I learned after receiving the Holy Spirit baptism that was not true. And, over the years, I’ve seen too much to know better.  We may plant a seed, draw them closer to God, but ultimately the decision to Trust Jesus with their lives has to be made completely and solely by the person’s “will of the soul”.  It’s an act of will, not reasoning.  It’s an act of faith, not understanding. It’s a complete trust in a person (Jesus) not an idea, religion, or anything of this world.

Is Life A Game Of Chess

Chess is being played everywhere, by everyone, you just don’t know it. And if you do know it, you are of course ahead of the game and winning. This is a scene from the movie, In Search of Bobby Fisher. I clipped this here because, IMO, its one of the best scene of all time. Right now, in the world, good and evil are playing a game of chess. God is in control, and satan is not liking it one bit. He is lashing out, trying to take everyone down with him. He plays the game and cheats, lies, deceives, tempts. He goes after the low hanging fruit and even the elect. In these last days of this age, he will sacrifice any pawn to save himself from being locked up in hell for a time. He thinks he is winning when he is destroying lives, taking chess pieces off the board, but he is really only losing more with each act of evil. He looks at his chess pieces and thinks he has control of the game on earth, but the truth is God is in control, always has been, always will be. Spoiler alert, God wins.

The Bridge Of Faith To God

God created all things.  He also created us, and a bridge to Know Him, not understand Him.  But you need a building permit, and you can get that from Jesus, by just asking Him, its free. And that bridge’s name is Faith, and the pieces of wood that make up that bridge are called Trust. The nails that hold it all together and keep it all together are called Honesty, and honesty is the only way to build that bridge.  And when you and Jesus finally build the bridge of Faith, the only way you will Know in your heart whether that bridge is real or imagined is by taking that one real big step onto it. And that step is called Trust and Surrender.

Honesty With God Brings His Healing

What does honesty not bring to life and heal? It’s like cool water in a stream flowing here and there and bringing freshness and life to whatever it touches.  It heals whatever it touches, even the places it has not been for a while or ever, even the darkest crevice and the deepest parts. It relaxes the soul, calms the nerves, and brings to mind what was forgotten out of fear to recall. It is a safe place to be when everything else within you seems at war.

Being in the Presence of God

Living word of God
Living word of God

It was evening, just finished my workout, and it was a struggle finding motivation to exercise. As I sat there, I knew I had not prayed in a few days, honestly, earnestly, quietly. I pray often during each day, but you know, that prayer that says to God, I know you are there, listening, and I want to be careful what I say to you, and talk to you from that place inside me that is totally honest, truthful, so much it hurts to think of it.  Here’s that prayer.  Do you ever feel like this?

Is The New Pope The Antichrist?

I want to post this, because I see many posts saying this is the antichrist here or there, i.e. the new pope, etc. especially if their name adds up to 666 in numeric terms.

The spirit of the antichrist has been around ever since Jesus resurrected. How do we know this? John tells us.

1 John 2:18, “Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.”

Understanding God?

Can you serve a God that you don’t understand? Being vulnerable and insecure is natural for all of us to avoid. We want to feel safe secure comfortable. And what do we put our faith and trust in? Ourselves? A parent or guardian? God? Do we as children obey our parents without question?   So do we have to understand God in order to put our faith and trust in him? Our initial answer is probably yes, which is the wrong answer if we were to ask God. Since we can never understand him I’m sure if he were to answer he would say it is illogical to expect to, and as illogical to wait until we do before we put our trust and faith in him.

God’s Healing Music Frequency

I have been sick for about 6 weeks now (post date : 01-26-2024) , and getting over it just today I believe.  The coughing that took me to blackout and just short of it, is less now.  Chest congestion, head congestion, ear aches, body aches, foggy thinking, stomach aches, no taste or smell of food, and if there was, it was awful.  Through that time praying was hard, much more difficult than ever before, and just having hope was impossible.  Hope in what?  Another night and day of certain misery until?  Its one thing to be sick for a few days, even a couple weeks, but 6 weeks!  I knew and know God is with me, in me, but it became also clear he was letting me go through the length and width and breathe of this sickness.  Perseverance is a very unwelcomed teacher.  It teaches lessons we don’t want to have to learn.  It reveals in us complacency, taking things for granted, even apathy.  But, I didn’t care really, if there was a good reason for it in the end or not.  I just wanted it to be over with.  So I prayed angry prayers, why wouldn’t he heal me!  I mean out loud, yelling to Him, to His face.  I knew he could, I hoped he would, but he did not.

We Have A Dog Named Bear

He is a family dog, and I get to spend some time with him.   His name is Bear .  He likes me because I give him treats, show him singular affection, and tell him what good boy he is.  Since there are seven dogs on the farm, competition for food, treats and affection is fierce.   I am training him to sit and stay and to not knock me over, not steal my lunch, and, oh yes, stay off the furniture.

You may say that’s nice, but what does that have to do about God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. Well allow me to explain…

If I

If I could Speak to the whole world at once and was guaranteed their full undivided attention for 60 seconds what would I say?

If I could stand before God for one hour with all of heaven watching and listening what would I say?

If I could silence the world, as if it did not exist, and quiet my mind in perfect peace, and my body was at complete rest in no pain, yet awake and fully aware of my past present and future, what would I think and dwell on for ten minutes?

Are You Ready? No You’re Not! And It’s OK.

Are you Ready to Meet Jesus? No your  not, nor will you ever be.  Just come as is.

Are you ready? No you are not! But that’s OK, and that is how it should be. Here is a truth, if you are waiting to give your life to Jesus until you are ready, you will never be ready, ever. If you are waiting until you are worthy, you will never be worthy enough, ever. If you are waiting until you are presentable to Him, you will never be presentable. If you are waiting for the right time in your life, when it is easy, convenient, and you have time for it and for Him, it will never be easy, never be convenient, and you will never have the time, or find the right time to do it. Are you waiting for permission from someone, something, yourself? There is none and none is coming. Are you waiting for the right person to pray with you, teach you how, guide you? No one can do this but you, and you don’t need anyone else, and they cannot do it for you anyways. It’s all up to you and only you. Are you waiting until you can plan it, speak to your church or pastor, read enough of the Bible, study enough sermons and holy talk? There is no additional knowledge of life or scripture needed, no person to pray with or discuss it, can make this happen for you. He wants your heart “as is” and now, not later, because later may never come.

God is!

God is! Prophets have tried to describe him using words from their heart and mind and soul, if even words can live in the soul of a person. But words fail don’t they? Thoughts fail also. Even in our imaginations, though we see images, what we see fails in comparison to what we know. But we don’t know Him, we cannot, ever, until we are in heaven with Him. But we can Know Him, with a capital “K”. Capitalizing the word Knowing encapsulates all that heaven has reveled to us in our spirit about Him, all that we have learned by reading the scriptures, and also all we have experienced of Him with Him by the Holy Spirit. Having stated how impossible it is to explain who God is and describe Him, I will still try here.

How Did Jesus React

How do you react?  It’s a very good question.  I realized a while back that how I react, or whether I react or not, is very spiritual.  What is my reaction to a trigger for fear or faith?  Do I let someone, something, a situation, an event, the words of others to cause a reaction in me, and then from me either in words or actions that I won’t like when I am done reacting?  If one of my main goals in life is to live my life in every way that is first and foremost pleasing to God, then how I react is everything, and do I react in ways that please Him.

A Field was planted by God

I am the vine you are the branches
I am the vine you are the branches

He cleared and tilled and planted a field with good soil. His seeds germinated, sprouted, and grew well. His enemies saw the sprouts but were very busy with their plans to distract, deceive and destroy the world and everyone in it. They did not pay the field any heed.  The plants grew and multiplied.

Then satan noticed the field was growing and now in full bloom. So he sent a beast to destroy the field and all the plants by mowing them over and rolling them under. He left believing he had completely destroyed all God had accomplished.  Very soon the rains came and as the sun shown brightly on the field, the scattered pieces of the vines of the plants that were tilled under grew quickly into small plants, and the field was covered with them again.

A message to all those who have Hacked this website

I wanted to post this very important message to all those who have tried and succeeded at hacking this website over the past months. Whether they have been bots or real humans hand typing their way to try to destroy this website and its message, its wrong. Even the lesser attempts, such as registering as a member, and using false email, just so you can infect the site, and use it for your own purposes, such as even advertising, its simply wrong. It is an offense against God. Imagine walking into a church, pick a church of any kind, even the one you might attend or want to attend one day. And as you enter it you deface it, vandalize it, and scream blasphemies into its air.

Mark of the Beast 666

This is the most important prophetic post you will ever read, and the one I am most reluctant to publish.  I don’t say that for “click bait” or just to get you to read it.  It’s a fact.  This is not some general prophesy that uses generalities and metaphors.  I stay in tuned with financial markets and the economy, and God has shown me how these spiritual and natural dots connect.  The Spirit has been showing me things over the past few years and I have kept them in my heart because this picture has not become clear enough to share in a meaningful way. Also, there has not been an urging from the Holy Spirit to share it, until now.  I posted something on this website a few years ago, but it was general, because that is all I could see in the Spirit. This post is specific to today and the very near future.  It alarms me that I don’t see any videos or posts that really see the details I am seeing.  Its like I am watching a ball game, and I see something happening on the field that’s God in action and its amazing, and I ask to my left and right, “did you see that”, and they say “see what”.  So get ready, settle in, this is a long post, but first let me say this…

Holy Spirit Prompts

Jesus was a homeless carpenter.  He chose disciples that were common trades men, doing manual labor, and women from all walks of life.  He cherished children.  He hung out with people with no standing, sinners, the poor, the sick and the disabled. I often wondered why He would choose them, choose me, for anything, but he did, and for that I am eternally grateful and blessed.   I don’t have a PHD.  I have no position, no wealth, no social standing.  I am a small business man and manage and maintain community associations, just being real. (yes sharing personal info) I am older now, and mostly just supervise, but in past for many years one day per week I would ride a lawn mower and cut grass with my crew.

It’s Simple, Don’t complicate it

It is simple.  A statement for the universe and for eternity.  A fact for everything that is and what will be.  Life is simple, and the purpose of life is simple.  Humans complicate it. Everything that I think, say, do and write is based on one simple fact, God is, He is Life, and he has gifted us our lives. We could not even exist with Him. It is the Truth, the pretext, the premise, the one certain factor in everything.  Here is another simple fact.  When you take your last breath, you will be face to face with Him, and how will that conversation and experience go for you?

The End Of This Age

There is a change happening, of such magnitude, the world has never seen, to each one of us, whether we realize it or not, and most do not.  Every life on earth is being touched by it.  The spirit of the antichrist is responsible for this major change in the world, and the many specific changes being spawned by it.  It is so significant and wide reaching every one of us will have to choose to accept these changes, or not. I will be writing about this as a series, so look fore future posts. For now let me just say these few things.
