You Want It - Pay

O, how I like what I have heard!

Cash, in the currency of life, is king, and this is the subject of our conversation today. 

While some companies, for example, Dave's Hot Chicken, have decided that cash is not acceptable at the till, despite money being legal tender, other companies prefer cash payment from customers. Think with me now. The banks that issue credit cards, love the interest they soak card holders for, when the card holder does not pay their monthly balance in full. Retailers that want you to use credit, have to absorb the cost of fees attached, each time you ring in your order and pay with plastic... or do they? Listen to me now: the customer, the patron, the guy or gal doing the buying, always has to pay for the extras, because the add on fees, get added onto the cost of the products, blended in as it were, and don't you know this to be true, dear one, with the constantly rising costs of every little thing?  

Who is making all the money without lifting a finger, earning a cent, or paying an exorbitant amount of cash for watermelons and steaks? My answer, and perhaps I heard your similar response to this question, is the credit card issuers and bankers. These clever fellas are benefiting in buckets of filthy lucre via usury; they figured out long ago, how to pick-pocket unsuspecting marks that want now, what they cannot afford. Eventually, what should have been paid for with cash, is paid for in a low, and in some cases a high grade, of feverish anxiety, that shadow boxes the indebted, throughout their waking hours, and haunts them into their sleepless nights. Owing money, and for many, enormous amounts of money, can cause stress induced headaches, bouts of irritation and self-recrimination, interrupt thoughts making a person ineffective at work, and worse yet, destroy communication with a spouse, along with negatively impacting interactions with playful children that are just too rambunctious for the overwhelmed person, that feels crushed under the burden of constant, unremitting debt. 

Since bankruptcy and things like consumer proposals are available to the debt laden, there is in the back of many minds, an out, that grants them a reprieve from repaying, for all they have wantonly purchased. I will state this and then we will move on: The Bible makes clear, Thou shalt not steal. If you buy what you cannot afford, pay interest on said item or items, and never really reach the bottom of the pit of debt you have dug for yourself, then you are a thief, taking what is not yours, because you simply could not, can not, afford the item. This puts you in a pickle of a problem, and does it make sense, to be anxious when you owe, considering the price your conscience, your soul pays, for having in your possession, what does not belong to you outright? 

Think now with me, about people putting on their credit cards, fast food purchases, and the interest they pay for their food, over and over again, and how so many people are getting bigger, while their ability to accumulate a safety net of funds, diminishes each day they do not pay, for what they have consumed. Does this cycle sound and look familiar to you, either in your own life, or the life of people you know? Money is such a touchy subject for most people, but it is because they aren't good with the money they have, meaning, they are not conscientious when they consider the when, where, and how, of spending, saving, tithing. People that have a grasp of how money works effectively, are usually very happy to share their wisdom with anyone that wants to learn the ways of wealth accumulation and management. This said, I want to share with you now, the reason for this piece of writing today. 

There is a new trend that I am thrilled to see coming into play, and it is small business owners that have initiated an old fashioned way of doing business! As an entrepreneur. I never fell into the trap of offering clients the option of paying for services via credit card, and I have always received payment in cash, cheque, or e-transfer format, with no fees attached for my clients, or for me, which means the greedy paws of the middle-men, do not touch what is not theirs. I went to a restaurant years ago and when the bill came, the waitress told my friend and me that there was a 10% discount if we paid cash! I loved this so much, and now I am hearing that small business owners are telling patrons that they, the customer, will be charged the credit card fee if they pay with plastic... YAY, it is about time, dear one. Why should an entrepreneur, have to absorb the cost of fees, and in turn hike up their prices, in order to accommodate banks, and clients or customers, that may or may not, be payment problems? In other words, when people purchase via credit, never pay off their debt, then declare bankruptcy, or are permitted to pay less then what they owe, we all have to pay more for what we buy. Someone has to pay for the losses, and it is always the customer that takes the hit, no matter what marketers are pushing when they advertise that they price match, or have the lowest prices in town. 

If you want something, you ought to feel obligated to pay for it. Does this sound strange to you? The you want it, you got it mentality, is wrong, wrong, wrong. You cannot have everything you want, in fact some of the things you want, may be the very worst things for you to have, and who among us does not have buyers remorse and purchase regret, for some of the small, and rather large expenditures, that have cost us some angst. 

Dave's Hot Chicken is some of the best fast food I have ever eaten. I was surprised and disappointed when after I ordered food, I was told they do not take cash for payment. This ought to be illegal, and yet, those of us in the know, understand the push to eliminate legal tender from the hands of people that have earned their money. Cash is purchasing power, and the wanna-be-powers-that-be, do not want you and I to have the ability to make our own decisions with our own money. This said, it is the mark of the beast that they want you and I to agree to, in the form of a chip placed under the skin in our hands or foreheads, so we can barcode pay for our lives while being scanned, processed, counted, corralled, and controlled cattle like, by handlers that want to treat us like their chattel. 

If this sounds dramatic and a little too dystopian to you, then you are already behind the curve, and need to do some current events catching up. 

Cash is king when it comes to purchasing power, and the more we believe this and live according to rules of buying what we can afford and saying no to instant gratification that we can never fully pay for, the better off we will be as a society. One last thing: if you make a lot of money, and got the cv shot because your job was threatened, and because you knew you would not be able to sustain the lifestyle you had plastic purchased for yourself and your family prior to the planned panic of all things cv, then you are in a precarious position moving forward dear one. You must decide that your autonomy, your ability to make your own financial decisions, is separate from what your bank, your employer, and the government, wants you to do. 

Pay for your life, dear one, or you will pay with it, when push comes to shove and your resistance is too low for you to fight back. 

NOTE: The Bible is full of wealth wisdom. Go there for a most excellent education. 

Rapture Time!

Any day now, I mean literally, any day now, God's people will see Jesus on the clouds. He will arrive in a timely fashion, to remove followers from this sin soaked world; this will occur prior to the tribulation, non-followers will have to face and suffer, when the end comes. Is this storyline accurate and true, dear one? Will faithful professors of Christ as their King, be plucked from amongst soiled humanity, to be taken-up, airlift rescue style, by the Saviour; and will this take place soon-ish? I declare that faithful followers read The Bible faithfully, and it is in the sacred writings that these, and many other questions, are answered readily. 

This is the matter at hand; and I ask you, What is the matter?

The matter of the rapture has become of monumental importance, with Christians setting up opposing camps amongst themselves: listen to pastors that were raised up approximately one hundred years ago, to preach and teach scripture, and you will see, or should I say hear, that they believe in the rapture, and have had no trepidation lecturing from this misguided stand point. You may be thinking, Well who do you think you are, Linda Grace Byers? Are you a theologian? Did you go to Bible college? What gives you the right to question, let alone have a mocking tone, regarding what many believe, will happen in the near future? 

My answer is simple and straightforward. I have the nerve to read scripture without the lens others have attempted to place over my eyes, and I have discovered from reading God's Word, that there are some historic events that must take place, before the entire world does indeed, see Jesus, on the clouds. Here are two of them: 

1. There must be a great falling away, do to great delusion: in other words, the masses will be deceived because they do not love, embrace, and abide in the truth, which is righteous, but rather, they delight in their evil thoughts and deeds.

2. The son of perdition, Wicked, must take his place in the temple as God, presenting himself as though he actually is God, in direct opposition to the God of the universe that created you and me, and every thing that we see that is in the natural order, that sustains us. 

Alas, scripture is plain for the reading, and the message straightforward for our understanding, as I indicated above, for those that are disinclined to spin the messages found there; and for those that would prefer to see truth as presented via the inspired word of God, rather than accommodate their own notions and beliefs (or the beliefs of their favourite pastor). What is truer than true, is this: the entirety of The Bible must be read and considered, before we piece together an understanding of eschatology, and we must not place within the picture, ideas or doctrines from our own imaginations, or by our own design or desire. The apostle Paul is plain in his speech, and to misconstrue what he states undoubtedly and obviously, is to take unholy liberties with scripture: 

Do you take such liberties with the very essence of God's teachings? the very teachings entrusted to his divinely emboldened ministers and messengers? 

Only those that deem themselves greater then Jesus, greater then God himself, have the nerve to state a rapture date; a date when he will return as Judge: Jesus made it clear that this date was none of our business. Our work and business is to believe in the one God hath sent, and to spread the Good News of the gospel. We are to rely upon and trust in, God's providential care, while we walk the earth, and for our eternity too, when the time comes for him to roll this place we call earth, up like a scroll. 

Hear these words spoken by Jesus the prophet, the King of kings:

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only (Matthew 24:36)

Before I get too carried away with my own thoughts, let us go to 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12, for what Paul has to say, on the matter at hand:

For that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition: who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 

Let us digest together, what we just read:

The return of Jesus will not come, until there is first, a falling away, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition: who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Falling away, refers to mankind turning away from God with a preference to live free from accountability to, and gratitude toward, him. I generalize in this statement, because I could spend all day enumerating the ways humans deny and disregard God, and I am confident you could write a long list of all the ways you have done this too, as we all can, and yet... the falling away is so blatant and so obvious as to be an en mass apostasy. Think back with me to Noah and the arc, and the flood that drowned reprobate humanity for their gross and flagrant rebellious sins: this is what society on a global scale has become, grossly, flagrantly, and repugnantly rebellious, in their opposition to God's commands, and in opposition to Christ as The Way, The Truth, The Life. 

This said, we must once again look at the scripture above for what presents as obvious regarding the rapture, following the falling away: 

A man of sin will be revealed

He is the son of perdition

He opposes God; and

He exalts himself above all that is called God; or

That is worshipped; so that

He as God sits in the temple of God

Showing himself that he is God

The great and grand deception will take place finally, with a human being taking the temple throne and presenting himself as God himself and darn it dear one, people will believe in him, because: 

even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;

The son of perdition will perform what appear to be miracles: as Satan's worker, he will be enabled to display his abilities with signs and lying wonders, as evidence of his feigned divinity. The masses will be in awe and bow down to this deceiver as their God, namely, because they did not love and embrace the truth when they heard it; they did not love Jesus as their King, and ultimately, they prefer a fake and fraud, over the one true and living God of the universe, that saves souls. 

Look now with me at our final scripture sentences: 

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 

If we choose to not believe the truth, love and embrace the truth, and live accordingly, we are making it clear that we believe lies, and that we love and embrace lies, and are willing to live as self and other deceivers: is this you, dear one? Do you prefer fables over facts; a fraud over the author of life? The apostle Paul speaks to the Thessalonians with clear messages, and he is not shy about repeating what he has already stated, and man alive, God tells us over and over again what to believe, and yet, the falling away is perpetual and amplified, even in professing Christians. 

Thus, God will send strong delusion to the self-deluded. God gives people over to their sin of disobedience to him as their God, and it is a damnable thing to not believe the truth but rather, to take pleasure in unrighteousness. Do recall, the Father sent his Son to give signs and wonders and perform miracles to prove his divinity; he sent his Son to live a holy and perfectly pure life, and to be crucified, die, be buried, and rise again on the third day, for the saving of the souls that believe these realities, these truths, and he does not take kindly to anyone that denies the deity of his Son. 

The Devil is a con-artist copy cat fraudster, and he mimics and wantonly parrots what he has seen and heard, and he does his damnable best, to trick you and I, to tempt each person, to believe what he is snake oil selling, over what God has stated to be true and trust worthy. The delusion is already great, and the falling away started long ago, but the rapture will not occur until this Wicked one, takes his temple throne, and presents himself as God. 

Dear one, do not be deceived by date setters, or the rapture obsessed that give fatal nonsensical warnings, about the end being imminent. The end may be imminent, but there will be some events that take place prior to Jesus touching down, before Judgment day. 

NOTE: I did not address the part of scripture noted above regarding references to what has been withheld. Please do, go to Bible study notes, or Matthew Henry's commentary on this matter, since it requires a lot more space and time to investigate and understand, then you and I have here together. 

Blaming Others - Shame Transference

O, what I see, has me ever so slightly irritated. Okay, I understate, I am very agitated. 

Fauci, Trump, Trudeau, Gates, and all the global guys and gals that publicly perpetrated fraud against unsuspecting, naive, and susceptible people, are culpable, but dear one, so is every person that followed the advice and did the bidding, of these wicked instigators. 

If you wore a mask, stayed away from other people as a way of "social distancing", washed your grocery store produce, hand sanitized constantly, and lastly, got injected with the cv shots, along with recommended boosters and other injections to preserve your health and keep you from dreaded and purportedly deadly diseases, then you are accountable for any and all repercussions regarding your health, your financial situation, and lastly, the relationships you destroyed, by following the orders of strangers, rather than having rational and reasonable conversations with people you previously knew and loved as intimate and trustworthy friends and family. 

Media coverage of the Fauci fry-up is ubiquitous, and while fingers are pointing rightly at the little troll for the role he played in mass m@rder, you and I know that each of us, or we ought to know? is accountable for the choices we made, and continue to make daily. Everyone wants Fauci to fold, to confess, to be grilled and humiliated, but I think there is some shame transference occurring that must be addressed.

What role did you play in the decline of your own health via compliance with cv protocols?

What role did you play in having your loved ones die without the benefit of your comfort, because you were following orders?

What role did you play, in the demise of your most excellent and trusted long-term relationships? 

The perpetrators understand that while people are suffering and dying as a result of all things cv, the masses need someone to pour out their puss infested souls onto, as a way of releasing the pressure and placing the blame, for the predicaments in which they find themselves entrenched. It is natural to be enraged when one discovers they have not only been duped, but that they rushed in where angels dare not tread. The masses did what the masses do, they followed one another into mask wearing, keeping their distance, injections, and lying to themselves about the reasonableness of it all, so that they could justify being part of the crowd, or as the evolutionists like to call the masses that amass, the herd. We are NOT cattle or sheep, we are human beings created in the image of God Almighty, and it is shameful for us to be called animals, because animals, dear one, do not have morals or ethics, but human beings, are more than capable of displaying their abilities to understand the difference between right, and wrong: we have the ability to choose, and choosing not to follow the crowd, is often the wisest choice of all. Natural law and consequences are comprehendible for thinking beings, and dear one, you are a thinking being. 

During cv, many of us wept in bitter anguish, grieving losses, since we had to face the fact that backs were turning on us, when we did not go along with the deception that was propagated non-stop. The weeping was anticipatory too, because for every person that we knew that went along with the injections, we anxiously saw into the potentially fatal future they more then likely guaranteed themselves, of suffering and sickness, and possible death, as a result of the injurious products purposefully placed in vials, that were syringe injected into arms. 

Nothing good has come from the cv injections, in fact, all manner of suffering is the result of toxins introduced into otherwise healthy humans. If Fauci, Trump, Trudeau, Gates, or any of the other guys and gals that delight in wickedness, did not inject you or the people you love, then perhaps you will start looking at the perpetrators within your reach, the very people that you went to, to get your shots, and then, look in the mirror, and face off with the one you see there...

Then beg God for forgiveness, for any and all roles you played, in perpetuating one of the greatest lies ever told and sold, to humanity, on a global scale. 

Let's not indulge in too much scapegoating, since we all sin and fall short of the glory of God. Let us take the time to go down on our knees, before the living God, and ask him to forgive our transgressions, heal all of our wounds, and make us holy, as he is holy, for Christ's sake, AMEN. 

Unconditional Love Confession

Dear one, I have a confession to make, and I am o so glad that you are here with me as I make this declaration wrapped up in disclosure: 

I have fallen into unconditional love, with a very famous person that everyone in the whole wide world has heard of... maybe you feel the same way about this man, so you won't be surprised to see his name when I spill the beans about the fella that has stolen my candy sweet heart. Do I tell you his name now? or describe him, so you can guess who he is, since he is famous and all.

Let's play the guessing game, shall we, just for a little while, so that we don't bust wide open from having to anticipate and wait for my confession about the guy that I can't help adore. Here are some hints:

He is tall

He wears a suit everyday to the oval office

His hairs are, shall we say, interesting

He is great, I mean really great

He is excellent at retaliating when someone says anything he thinks is rude

He is rich, very very rich

He is confident, and isn't shy with his bragging

He claims to have saved thousands and thousands of lives via vaccines

He fires people and badmouths them when they challenge him in any way

He is never wrong, and never has to apologize

He is the president of the United States of America, two times over!

Did you guess who I am in unconditional love with yet? You know, so many people feel the same way I do about Donald: they know he can do no wrong, and even when bad people tell him to do bad things, it isn't his fault for taking their expert advice! He can't be held accountable for stuff, cuz he is trying so hard to make America great again, and he is rich after all, which means, he can be trusted like no body's business. 

Donnie gets some bad press, but people just don't understand how very great this man is: if they did know just how great Trumpy (my nickname for my lovie) truly is, they would have only great things to say about him. He is, after all, the president twice over, and deserves some accolades, don't you think? He is tight with very important people that live abroad, and they shoot love missiles at one another whenever they get a chance. It takes a brilliant man to negotiate the best deals like Donnie does, and no one knows better than his fawning fans, how entitled he is to great honour and adoration. 

He may go down in history as the greatest president, even if he does say so himself. I for one, would vote for him as the greatest. You know, I understand unconditional love better than I ever have before. Unconditional love means that no matter what Donnie J says and does, I remain unfaltering in my devotion to the man that has captured my sugar coated heart, and wooed my soul to dedicated allegiance. This man, do recall, has Warp Speed super hero type abilities, and with his fathering of the vaccines, has declared that he saved millions and millions of lives when potions were injected into babies, children, mommies, daddies, and grandparents - taking Anthony Fauci's advice wasn't wrong at the time, even if medical tyranny was the only way to get the job done - Donnie the president just didn't have intel, he just didn't know how bad, very bad, the potion shots were, so we simply cannot blame a man that did not know, thus the unconditional love! 

Unconditional love means without conditions, and I am committed to my man, no matter what he says or does next. There is of course, the small matter of Melania, standing between me and Trumpy, but he has been divorced and remarried several times before, so eventually...

O Donnie, you rock my world, you top heavy with pride man you! I look forward to the time when I meet you, and get to tell you what I really think, in person. Until then, know that I watch you on TikTok, and you will always be my number one pick as a performer, you little monkey you.  

Here is the evidence of just how great my Trumpy is, in his own words!

I would a put a warning on or something just that particular vaccine but I certainly wouldn't a paused it and gotten front page news all over the world and then people don't want it, and d, probably affects the others, cuz you know there’s a big situation with a lot of people don’t want to take the vaccine, well this played right into their hands, and they want me to do public service messages and everything about everybody taking the vaccine and look I guess in a certain way I’m the father of the vaccine because I was the one that pushed it. Ya know to get it done in less than nine months was a miracle. Fauci said it would take three to five years. He thought it is was something that just wouldn’t be that effective because it would take so long to get. We, I pushed the FDA, like they have never been pushed before. I wouldn’t exactly say their, ahh, their in love with me. They have never, this is a very bureaucratic organization. I pushed them like they've never been pushed before and that’s why we have it, ahhh, when they did the pause on Johnson & Johnson, I thought that was a very very stupid thing to do. 

Donnie, baby, you are in a class of your own, and there just isn't another quite like you... but my dear, you already know this. Hearts and hugs Trumpy.  

The Hucksters All Dressed Up

Pardon me?

A mass murderer is pardoned. Dressed in his million dollar best, ready with an impish grin, Fauci repeats that he has rights under the fifth amendment: it appears he is on the meat hook as a guilty party but alas, his interrogator is the one that announces to the viewing audience, that the tiny trouble making troll called Fauci, is off the meat hook as a murderer, because he has been granted impunity via... via... who the hecker's would grant exemption to a man that obviously played a malicious and diabolical role, in the roll out of all things covid? 

The theatre is rich with official looking surroundings, with a whole bunch of official suited-up men and women in a court room setting, there to hold Fauci to account, but for what exactly? I mean, the man is pardoned, according to some behind the scenes insurance coverage that keeps him from being liable... man alive, I pay for insurance year after year, minus any claims, and when in the past I did put in a claim for coverage, I was immediately rewarded with rate increases! Now explain to me how this whole legal system is working for all the cv assassin's?

Fauci was interrogated by Rand Paul, and I just so happened to notice, that the little scythe, got to run wild and free after that kangaroo court extravaganza - it is now Sen. Hawley's turn, sitting up high for all to see, shooting quips and accusations at a grinning Fauci. This is their public play time, they are ON, with lights and cameras, and someone calling, ACTION, all staged for an audience hungry for justice, longing for retribution, hoping that someone will be held to account for maiming, permanently injuring, and killing, their friends and family members.

We cannot expect unrepentant perpetrators to profess guilt, and we certainly cannot expect someone to be put in handcuffs, an orange onesie, and shuffled off to jail, when he is protected by a pardon, so why ask him questions? Why feign that the rich and infamous Fauci, will be punished, when clearly, nothing of the sort will happen, since he clearly, is protected by men that are in cahoots as killers.

In the video I watched, Sen. Hawley states what happened, as facts, and the facts ought to bring tears to eyes, but we see none of this in this pretend courtroom like setting. Each time Fauci pleads the fifth, the grin on a lady's face grows broader, and it is painful to witness the lack of appropriate emotion, and the insensitivity to what we have suffered en masse as a global society. The injections are working, and people are hurt and dying, and it is excruciating to witness all the suffering. While the suits pretend justice will be served, the people that fell for the fraudsters sick plan, have no recourse, as they trip and fall into an early grave. 

I will never forget what the wicked ones did under the influence of their commander and chief, Lucifer. Lucifer lies and kills and destroys, and so do his workers of iniquity. I weep for the dead that did not have Christ, and the more people that die without knowing the Saviour, the more successful the Luciferian's, in their ploys and plots, to accommodate their malicious and murderous task master.

If I have learned anything over the past six years, it is that social media is an excellent vehicle for Satan to push and pull people in many wayward directions: we must be watchful, and keep ourselves from being deceived, because we simply do not know the people we view on screens, and we cannot trust all we see... rather, it is wise to look at them with squinting eyes, and suspect them as untrustworthy, when they act like they are righteous, and yet do nothing to make things right. 

My sister is dead. I watched her decline after three injections. Picturing her in a mask in my minds eye has me weeping in a mess of tears, and when I see Fauci behind a mic, and people like Sen. Hawley playing prosecutor, I think of Jesus, and how much God hates persecutors that have wounded the vulnerable and unsuspecting. 

The Judge does not grant pardon to unrepentant murderers, or hucksters that defraud people of their peace and liberties via societal and medical tyranny... God sees all, and he will wipe the grins from off the faces of those that delight in their own clever and murderous schemes. 

Jesus will judge the living and the dead, and the wicked ought to be very, very, afraid. 

I leave you with some look-up homework. Go to the King James Bible, and read:

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

I bid you ado, until next time, dear one. 

The Holy Spirit Does Not Rub Off

The warnings in The Bible that must be taken seriously and heeded, are for believers, not those that are outside of the body of Christ:

2 John 9-11

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed. For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 

Dear one, the company we keep matters, and the long term ramifications that result from intimate and personal relationships with those that profess faith in Christ, but do not obey the Word of God, can at one end of the spectrum, be befuddling, and at the other end, devastating, with lots of sorting and cleaning up required, in order to get a house back in order. 

The apostle John is known as the love apostle. He was the only apostle that was not martyred, but he was, as were his fellow Christ followers, persecuted for his faith. John's elder years were spent in exile, and one would think that perhaps, this isolation would prevent his preaching the gospel; alas, you and I have the benefit of his godly wisdom, all these centuries, and in fact, millennia later, accessible to us, in The Good Book. Look again with me, to the apostle John's note. 

Whosoever trangresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God.

Back then, and now, we have the convoluting of the Word of God; we have excuses and made-up teachings; we have men and women taking liberties and attempting to rewrite God's rules, which are truly, natural and commendable laws, not to be tampered with, or set aside for a more becoming of the day version that permit, what God deems as sin and condemns. 

As a believer in Christ Jesus, there is no room for obvious, subtle, or subconscious sin. The conscience in a believer, meaning the Holy Spirit of God, cannot abide his people blatantly, openly, or secretively for that matter, sinning in disobedience to his orders and commands. This said, we can plainly see when a professing Christian, hath not God, when they are not abiding in the doctrine of Christ. The thou shalt not's, along with all the thou shalt's in The Bible, make conspicuous for anyone reading The Bible, what doctrine of Christ means. 

He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

The Father and the Son, are inseparable: if you have one, you have the other, because they are indivisible, meaning what one says, the other agrees with. Humans are duplicitous and often times we are a house divided, wanting what we must not touch, and touching what we must not have. People want it all, including the fulfilling of their ungodly desires, with God as their soulmate and friend, believing he will bear them up in their sinful thoughts and activities. God the Father does not condone misconduct, mischief, or mishandling of his precepts, and the Son, perfectly represents his holy and righteous Father, in every way. Sometimes we do this too, isn't that right, dear one? we perfectly represent our own, sin soaked, disobedient, obnoxiously stubborn, father or mother... the apple, as the saying goes, does not fall far from the tree. 

If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed.

The love apostle speaks these words in writing, and I can hear them in my head as an echoed reminder, of all the times I did not heed this warning. It is in love that he instructs Christ followers, to keep from their door, to prevent from entering in, those that bring not this doctrine. Christian: you are to share the gospel because the hearer may be converted to Christ in the listening, but you must not, hold their hand while they are living in the filth of their own sin, while feigning faith in Christ, in the hope that by your example, and via exposure to you as a faithful follower, that somehow the Holy Spirit will rub off on them. It is by the mercy and grace of God that you were saved from your sinful self, and if your friend or family member is to be saved, your role has played out, once you have spoken the gospel Truth: the best you can do for them is be the shining light and salt of the earth for them to watch closely out of curiosity, if they care to do so. 

The last part of the sentence above, is a clincher: neither bid him God speed. We do not bid a person good luck, may you prosper and have peace, when they are not abiding in God and living the doctrine of Christ. For instance, if you know someone that professes Christ as their King, but they steal, lie, cheat, feign innocence, fornicate, use God's name as a swear word etc, can you bless them with God speed, knowing full well they are wanton in their sins? Christian: you cannot transform someone into a Christ follower, but they most certainly, can influence and impact you, which is why the warnings in The Word of God are for believers, not those that fake faith in Christ by professing him with their mouths, while living like heathens. 

Now for the linchpin: 

For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Dear one, the sentence above deserves deep contemplation. Sending good vibes, love, peace, hope, light (all new agers say these things), to someone that is not a Christian, is a way of condemning them and partaking of their evil deeds. God knows what people do in their secret moments, and Christians must pray for a cleansing of souls, a clarifying of the mind, a purity of the spirit via truth spoken, heard, and received as life altering, for the lost and godless, not for a soft place to land for them to soak up gentle and ineffective healing, that does nothing for the soul sickness they suffer as far from Christ earthlings. 

I speak from experience as a Bible study leader and group facilitator, when I say that I used to have a come one, come all philosophy, when inviting people to my home to share the Word of God. In what I thought was a show of love, I believed I could foster faith in those that seemed on the cusp of committing to a life of following Christ as Saviour, but I was dead wrong. Some of the people that crossed the threshold of my home, wreaked havoc in my life, as back biting, mischievous trouble makers, that I wish I had never met. I did not wish them God speed when they got prayed out of my house, I hoped to never see or hear from them ever again. 

Dear one, it is not what you can do for them, it is what they can do to you, that John, the love apostle, warns about. We are influenced and can be misled, when the company we keep has us colluding with them in their sin: we become guilty by association, when it seems we are condoning their transgressions, while they call themselves Christian. 

As a Christian, I love people to Christ, and when they are living a life with the evident desire to be holy and sin free, there is nothing I enjoy more, than to share the reading of God's Word. The blessing of fellowship, and the ability to freely speak God's speed without hesitation, is awe inspiring. I want this with and for everyone, but I know I cannot give it away, or have my faith rub off... God's hand is needed for the plucking of a soul as a brand from the fire, and mine is to hold in friendship, when I know I have been given, a brother or sister in Christ. 

Silly

I watched a fella on YouTube that calls himself Spidey: this is his tag name and is a reference to his spider like senses, quite similar to famed and pretend super hero Spiderman's, extraordinary abilities. What this mentalist will not say, left this listener baffled and annoyed, because he is very committed to simply observing body language, without ever really having an opinion about fakes, frauds, pretenders, scam artists. As a trickster, I get why the human spider won't call out his kindred, his own people, as it were, but he makes a mockery of his own self-professing capabilities of reading people, when he refuses to see, that Charlie Kirk, was not murdered, but was set up to look like the victim of murder. 

Hurrah, hurrah, for the milking it for all it is worth crowd, that engages in the silly nonsensical defence of what did not happen, that appears to have happened. Erica, the weirdo, has made an angry face fool of herself each time she feigns offence when someone dares to question the supposed killing of her pretend husband; and everyone that Trumps up the event as true, stomping their feet and insisting on the validity of the murder of Charlie, looks like a child that can be accused of protesting too much, when challenged. Notice how dropped off this issue has become among the Christians that wept bitterly over the death of Charlie, and threatened other Christians with banishment from their fairytale land, if they whispered even a hint of suspicion over this production, of was Charlie, or wasn't Charlie, murdered? 

He wasn't murdered, but he was playacting. Don't ask me why this fiasco was set to roll over the people, all I know is that guy, labelled Charlie Kirk, got a lot of airtime, when many of us were knocked off from social media exposure each time we questioned covid, the mandates, face mask wearing, social distancing, injections, not being able to work, or have people in our houses, or worship in unison with other Christians in church. Charlie was a popular guy with cameras rolling non-stop, and so many people admired him, despite his avid and obvious hatred for Muslims (the unsaved must be prayed for, not targeted as people to kill), and also despite the fact that Charlie approved abortion if a mother was endangered during pregnancy - did God tell Charlie there are exceptions to his commandments, or was that a liberty this man took upon himself to promote as a way out of fulfilling to completion, a woman's duty, to protect her child when in the womb, and to deliver that baby into the world, when it was ready to make its debut? 

The loud and the proud love the attention, and we can count of these foolies to grab all they can get when it comes to the spotlight. As they dim the atmosphere with their darkness laden lies, no one seems to care anymore, because they have moved on, or at least, that seems to be the case? 

Covid did a number on the masses: medical professionals are now openly admitting that after being injected with potions from Pfizer, they have aliments that debilitate and cripple them. The grim reaper is knocking on doors, and he cares not that people believed they were doing the right thing, when they said yes to all things covid. The father of lies cares not if you or I believe Charlie Kirk was killed, but he does really savour how silly we become, when we argue with one another. and insist on what we cannot prove, one way or another, because we weren't at the venue during the event of the supposed shooting, and we are not forensic officials with evidence to assess before us. 

As long as the focus is off of covid, the culprits run wild and free. My sister's death anniversary passed recently, and within a week, her birthdate will arrive, without her here to celebrate the day. Those injections that were all the rage in the early 2020's, expedited her departure from this world, and I have not forgotten what the wicked did to ensure that many would be maimed and murdered, with their destructive propaganda pushed on the unsuspecting masses. 

Spidey supposedly is observant and shares his skills to facilitate learning for those that would like to be more aware and intuitive too, but it is the Christians that have been given the gift of discerning the spirits, and we are the ones that see through and past, the great delusion, to the devil on the other side, each time we witness the bull paddies that pile up around the fraudsters and fakes, that take up hours and hours of silly social media space, spinning their lie webs, hoping to catch some naive human flies. 

And for what, I ask you? What do they gain with all their mischief making, and what do the susceptible audience members gain, for believing the lies and pranks and misleadings? 

Our focus on our faith, on Jesus Christ as Saviour, is diminished each time we spend time, on nonsense. You could, if you like, accuse me of wasting my time and yours with this piece of writing, but I would reply, I am challenging you to clean up your viewing and listening, so that if you were indeed tricked by covid, you will be cautious and reticent, when next the tricksters attempt to win you over to their wicked side of wrongdoing. 

You have heard the expression, Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me? We must be ever vigilant and aware of our surroundings, and what interactions we have that lead us in a dark direction of deception. The long term effects of covid are evident now to most, and I hope the blame is placed on perpetrators, those that take to microphones and cameras, to spread thickly, the lies told them to tell, by Lucifer himself, since they are, under his command. 

NOTE Un: I realize the Charlie Kirk devotees are being stirred up and want justice for their murdered hero... this is a sad waste of time and effort, since the whole thing was a make-believe set-up, for a salivating and frothing at the mouth audience of human idol worshippers. 

NOTE Deux: It appears the mentalist actually believes Charlie was murdered, which has me recognize, once again, that bullsh%t really does, baffle brains.
