Okay, I voted. Not going to tell you who I voted for… just kidding. We are all in BIG trouble; not just Americans, but the world. Jesus is coming and He is not happy with how we Christians have been poor stewards over His Creation. It is a really big deal. Look at Revelation. Jesus is talking badly about the churches—I wonder which churches it applies to these days?

This is why we are in big trouble. I voted today for Obama. I had listened to a neighbor talk about how the Republicans had done this and that for so many years—negative things. As a Christian, he, like countless thousands of you, do not view life through the spectacles of spirituality, but see things through carnal eyes. Not to say you are not Christian but many view life through intellectualism (what others think), peer-pressure (what others do), money-pressure (what others have); instead of spirituality (what Jesus said, says, did and does). So I, like many others with no real choice—had to make one, i.e., a poor choice for the American President.

What we have are two or more evil camps vying for America—to run it in preparation for the Return of Jesus and the Great Tribulation and that which comes before it and after it—preparing to war against His Saints. So, you and I see an election; whereas what is really happening is…

…First… Obama. This is the problem.

1) I believe that both candidates represent only their personal interests and those of the FAT CATS who paid for their elections. (The American people should pay for elections—and election spending should not exceed $250,000 for each candidate. Period.) Oh, you say, Obama got most of his money from the public, from people donating money on their credit cards. Right. The problem is your understanding. “My understanding is fine,” you may say. Listen then.

 

2) Obama collected millions in unsolicited, undisclosed credit cards from all over the world—actually no one knows where they are from because they are not traceable. Can you smell a problem here? The answer is yes, that is a big problem here in America and where you are also.

 

3) Obama has a huge Jewish backing—Hebrew money—Israelite support. What is wrong with that? “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” 1 John 4:3 (KJ)  If Jews (or Americans) are not born-again Christians, then they are antichristians. I don’t care how much they say otherwise, be nice to you, give (loan) you money, or smile in your face. They murdered Jesus or tried to and are antichristians. They support both Obama and McCain-- which the more? They also run Hollywood. Can you say movies, television? Can you say satan the “prince of the power of the air.” (Ephesians 2:2) 

 

4) Ignorant Americans believed in and still do believe in a tax relief for the Middle Class. Economics 101. In a closed system, money has to come from outside the system to improve the economic system; tax cuts for the Middle Class is like smoke being blown up your _ss.  Why don’t the news people say so—remember they are the VALUE MAKERS, who get paid by the FAT CATS who own the company for which they work. They are pretty puppets on a string, right Robin? Let the talking heads get out of line, and they will be in a line—a job line today and maybe a soup line tomorrow. I have not received my Bush tax cut and in the state of Georgia there are millions in unclaimed tax relief checks. Remember, nothing in life is free, not even tax relief. There is a price. And the price is your children’s futures. A tax relief for the Middle Class is nothing but a fart in American economics. A fart blown you know where. The FAT CATS know it. So they fed us a TAX RELIEF check, $1,500 and stole $700 billion+. See why I say that you are spiritually ignorant?  You do not see what is going on or you choose to ignore it. Stop bending over and taking it up the behind. FAT CATS are DRILL KINGS or haven’t you noticed. You will feel it and it will not be nice. “Thank you sir, may I have another,” you may say.

 

5) Obama promised the world—everything you wanted to hear. None of which will be delivered. Because just like Hillary Clinton thought she and her husband’s big Democratic machinery could oppose BIG PHARMA—but it could not. They needed Christ to help, but alas they are politicians-- who needs Jesus? PALIN speaks of Jesus, no other. Obama says church. Church is not Jesus. The Catholic Church is the largest non-Christian church in the world—or should I say largest anti-Christian church in the world. Everyone and their brother knows it but will not say it openly or in public for fear of reprimand. They aligned with the Jesus killers of old.

 

6) Obama has an addiction—tar, nicotine—TOBACCO. As one who used to smoke, I know it is more difficult to quit smoking than most people understand. Obama is hooked on tobacco—I’m talking about BIG TOBACCO. You see, while the auto industry spent millions of advertising dollars on television advertising, BIG TOBACCO did not, therefore there coffers are filled to the brim with money. Much tobacco money went to Obama for political favors. Do not be surprised to see cigarette commercials on television again if Obama is elected.

 

7) People with addictions--whether they are gone or not have addictive behaviors. These behaviors show up as big stuff, big work, big involvement. In the case of Obama, big PORK BARREL SPENDING which is not only his trademark but those of the who? FAT CATS. That is a large part or way they get much of their funding. That is why Palin is a great choice and why the FAT CAT VALUE MAKERS, including women, have slammed her. And slammed her. Did I say they slammed her? Yes, women slamming women—and they are not gay.

So, you and I see an election; whereas what is really happening spiritually is two different EVIL camps vying for control over the antichrist state of America. Say it ain’t so? Say he didn’t call America an ANTICHRIST NATION. This sounds like a whole new devotional to me—AMERICA. Two camps, two evil camps. McCain camp: Big Oil—NECROMANCERS. Big Defense Contractors—KILLERS & DESTROYERS. Hebrews—ANTICHRISTIANS. Banks—SUFFERINGS. Insurance—SUFFERINGS.

Obama camp: Hebrews—JEWISH ANTICHRIST CAMP. Banks—SUFFERINGS. Insurance—SUFFERINGS. Catholics—CATHOLIC ANTICHRIST CAMP. Tobacco-KILLERS & SUFFERINGS. MAMMON in both camps. We are in big trouble. Where are the TRUE CHRISTIANS?

It is coming. Change like you cannot yet imagine.

Read Revelation to imagine the planetary change on its way.

“1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. (I asked the Holy Spirit to share with me what this meant, remember—days ago. Today I received in my spirit, aborted male infants born of the children of the tribes of Israel.)  2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: (Imagine harpers playing for the aborted children as if in a traditional funeral ceremony in your culture. The Voice: an earthly manifestation of God’s Presence in the form of Voice, probably symbolic of Metatron.)   3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. (These aborted male fetuses have been going to Heaven for some time now. I wonder how many are of the 144, 000 Israelites. This 144,000 could actually be Israelites because unborn fetuses would not come into the knowledge of Judaism nor any other religion. So they could actually be of the tribe of Israel.)  4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. (Aborted male fetuses of Jewish women.) These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits (This is how you know it is aborted children. They are firstfruits.)  “But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.” 1 Corinthians 15:23 (KJ); “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” James 1:18 (KJ))  unto God and to the Lamb.  “5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.”

REVELATION 14:1-4 (KJ)

I receive spiritually on many different levels from many different members of Father God’s Holy Family. If I tell you or told you that the Holy Spirit told me something or Jesus told me something or Christ told me something, then you had better listen. You had better listen to what I am about to tell you and what is coming in the next few days in the upcoming devotionals. These MY FRIEND are the last days before the RAPTURE, then comes CHANGE. Senator Obama told you that change was coming and it is, but it is not the happy change you are experiencing emotionally right now. Your emotions will betray you and get your heart to get your mind to look the other way. Someone needs to be looking now and last week and next week for a hand is waving in front of us and we are looking. The other hand is doing something which we know not at this time. I am not talking about Obama nor his camp—or am I? Change is coming and yes we cannot see it.

My friend Marion told me that Obama was going to win, as did many people. But I knew that after he had all that money and was allowed to purchase large television time, it was over. If you do not know one thing about the American public: if you put it on TV (tell-a-lie-vision) then you go with it. Everyone else is, if not, it wouldn’t be on television.

But Marion was so happy, I suppose like so many other people. I took am flabbergasted, happy, excited because I never expected in my lifetime that I would see a Black President in the White House. (LORD let him make it there.) Oh, my Father God! But my joy is subdued, not because of the prophecy to drive you to the site, but because of what is coming. And you are not ready. Last week, I began to hear from the Holy Spirit that “IT IS COMING.” I asked, “What Lord?” The reply, not a word. As I pressed the next few days, I received: “I will let you know.” So I am waiting. But I do not a lot of what is coming and I will tell you in the upcoming devotionals.

Marion was all happy and glad as he said that he could not wait for next year for Obama to get in office so there would be more jobs, and better jobs so he could get a better one. Well guess what folks, haven’t you been listening to anyone or anything other than election news? This economic thing is terrible and will last for about 7 years—but it will be interrupted by global catastrophic events: CHANGE, planetary change which will show up next fall. But by then there will be economic duress and suffering beyond the kerosene heaters in darkened apartments, worse subway beatings than ever before, more car bombs exploding in the most safest of places. Am I saying this is due to Obama—not for sure, not likely, but this American Election has marked the beginning of the End of the World and I pray the Holy Spirit will allow me to share it with you… with you soon.

You see when the “W” camp realized that the “O” camp was going to outspend the “M” camp, then “W” got his cronies together to created another 911 disaster: the $700 billion dollar bailout because the “W” camp doesn’t know when it will again have the Mammonites (lovers and followers of money—chasers of the “almighty dollar.”) favor.  Look at the Bailout and you can see the members of the “W” camp. The “O” camp has now come into power with many allies.

This is the last devotional in this series. This series is the beginning series which leads us to the RAPTURE. Also look for a devotional series called the Rapture. Good luck President Elect Obama. Good luck to America and the world. I pray that the McCain prophesy inspired greater participation in the AMERICAN ELECTION.

PREPARE TO  MEET YOUR CHANGE

The thing to know about sin is:

 regarding all the sin you can see, there is also sin you do not see.

“And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”

GENESIS 15:6 (KJ)

The thing to know about sin is: regarding all the sin you can see, there is also sin you do not see. Regarding all the sin you know that you comment, there is sin you do not know you commit. Regarding the sin you know about, there is sin you do not know about. Those sins used to hold humanity down, but with Jesus, He takes ALL our sins—known and unknown—sins of omission and commission. Large or small, He takes them all.

One of the issues with our righteousness is that as flesh humans we wear a corrupt skin. So when we sin, if we are saved, then Jesus takes that sin and wears that skin. That skin on Him is Holy because He lived without sin—His Flesh is HOLY so when He wears our “sin skin,” our “skin” is without sin—when you give it to Him.

I am talking about “SAVED” people here. The problems are:

1) Many accept their sin as their own. They often live in their sins, in their “sin skins,” wallow in their sins, and lay claim upon those sins until they die.

 

2) Many accept their sins, do not lay claim on those sins, but turn them over to Jesus at the altar at church, or in the closet at home, in the car, or in a quiet place at home or work. But soon after that, you forget that Jesus owns your sins, (that particular sin that you can never get away from—that “prickly sin” stuck under your fingernail) when that “EVIL VOICE” comes along to whisper that you are such a sinful sack of humanity. This often happens when they feel your desire (hear: emotion) wanting to do a sin—the “sin” crime. That desire is instilled upon you from outside of yourself, not from within. (The Holy Spirit will have to tell me how—I am just getting that last sentence as I write.)

 

3) If that voice does not work…and it usually does—(I pray it never works in your life—sin to never work against you.) soon after that someone physically comes along and blames you for your PAST sin. Or you try for a job and guess what? Your sin is waiting for you there—this is the movement that the antichrist uses to get people and systems to “stick” your sin upon you like “Super Glue” or the most sticky substance you can imagine. Your gossip helps spread and empower the antichrist’s attempts to get you to help others keep their sins. Gossip attempts reduces a person’s dignity—thank you Marion.

 The antichrist wants you to keep your sin. So the antichrist has set it up in societies for people to not only judge people for their present actions—but their past actions as well. The antichrist knows there is NO ACTION which you can do which can surpass THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS, though the antichrist will try to get you to do think otherwise. AND the antichrist tries—watch it in governments, groups of people—the antichrist tries to punish you for FUTURE ACTIONS which you have not committed—and may never commit. Example: Attack Iraq, attack Iran, attack Georgia, attack Korea, attack China for the possibility of future misgivings or potential harm to Americans. (I think the Chinese merchandise coming to America’s BIG MARTS, uncensored and uninspected as criminal and harmful as—yes you guessed it—the $700 billion FAT CAT RUSH to injustice.) Watch for that in your back yard—they may be locking you in a Guantanamo prison for being a black on welfare, white of Irish decent, a felon, a non-contributor in society, for being an alcoholic; one can only imagine.

Please know this—as a Christian you will sin. When you do, do not purchase the idea that you are now no longer a Christian. Purchase the idea that you were bought with the Price of the BLOOD OF JESUS. Hallelujah! And therefore, you no longer should lay claim to that sin. Hallelujah! That sin belongs to Jesus. Hallelujah! It no longer belongs to you.  Hallelujah! What the enemy does is bring in a tare which tells you that YOUR SIN belongs to you. WRONG! And that is a BIG wrong. Your SIN belongs to JESUS. What, you want to make all of Jesus’ efforts to be in vain by you not accepting His Offer, His Gifts of Grace and Salvation to you? RIGHT NOW! GIVE YOUR SINS TO JESUS! I said, right now! C’mon.

RIGHT NOW! GIVE YOUR SINS TO JESUS!

There is power in agreement.

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (KJV)

There is power in agreement. When brethren dwell together in unity, God commands His blessings upon them. Psalms 133:1-3. In the upper room, all of the 120 Disciples were in one accord before the Holy Ghost came down like a cloven tongues of Fire upon everyone of them. Acts 2:1-4.

In Genesis 11:1-6, the people of Babel were in one accord and determined to build a tower that would reach heaven. The power of agreement bred commitment in them to continue in what they had purposed. The Bible says, because of their oneness of language and determination, then nothing they planned to do will be impossible for them. v. 6 (NIV)

BLESSINGS OF STANDING TOGETHER    

1-       Impossibility becomes possible: what is impossible for one man to do, many men standing together can achieve it easily. When many lazy men work together with determination, they can move things and it becomes even difficult to know they are lazy men.

Will there be a white male backlash? How will it look?

  And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

NUMBERS 11:1-3 (KJ)

“Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.”

1 CHRONICLES 29:9 (KJ)

I am going to tell what is happening spiritually that your bishops, pastors, and many, many others are not telling, because they do not know, BECAUSE their forehead has the mark of CHASING THE DOLLAR!  What does that sound like to you? And getting you to chase the mighty buck to—but guess what? The buck has stopped. The buck has stopped at the White House.

There will be a white male backlash from the Obama Presidency. There will be one or a wave of them which is normal from an oppressive society though we have freedom beyond the imagination of many peoples, but too much freedom can lead to ___________; use your imagination. The backlash of which older African Americans would know about and understand. What I am talking about always comes from hurting, angry people in power, in their ivory towers of power.

It is like Obama, the middle class black guy starting dating, two years ago the local white middle class girl, the White House chick. He caught some grief, not too much and he—they just dealt with it and said, “They got the problem, not us.” Then when he, Obama won the Democratic nomination, it was like he got engaged to her, the White House woman. More steam, more heat; bearable—keep going. Now President Elect Obama has gotten married to “ole White House gal” and there are white male racists who have gone on to be with the other “great racists in the sky” who are rolling over in their graves—flip, flip, flip. What a mess. Those on the ground’s disbelief and exasperation will wear down into _________; we will see.

On the night of the Inauguration, President Obama will take his new White House bride to bed. Won’t that be something? So let us look to see how white corporate America and any white males who bear racism in their hearts, and separatism on their sleeves wear this new patriotism, this new spirituality of nationalism from the “O” Team. Television and Oprah can do wonders; let’s get these “good ole boys” to watch.

This white male backlash will not be a unified one. It may operate in what looks like unity, but it is not; it is complicity. COMPLICITY of purpose.

PLEASE GET READY!

One tree can never make a forest,

neither can you afford to work / stand alone.

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (KJV)

David never fell again after the issue of Bathsheba because, he surrounded himself with Nathan the Prophet and Gad the Seer.

In the face of persecution, the brethren prayed together in one accord against the Disciples’ persecutors. Acts 4: 23-31. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. v.31.

When Peter was imprisoned by Herod the king, brethren gathered to intercede for him in Mary’s house. The Lord delivered Peter. Acts 12: 1-19. Thereafter, Herod himself was killed by an Angel who slapped him. This resulted in revival, and the gospel was preached unhindered. v.20-24; the work of God moved forward. v. 25  The Bible says one will chase a thousand; two will put ten thousand to flight.

Unity: The Bible says a cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Eccl. 4:12(b). When we stand together in love, unity of purpose is inevitable. Since a house divided against itself cannot stand, unity breed blessings and love of God.

A bunch of brooms cannot easily break but, a stick of broom will not only break easily, it can even be crushed. It’s important to live and work together with our spouse, and the family of God.

As people of God, it’s great when we work with other ministers of God especially when we are divinely connected together. Since one tree can never make a forest, neither can you afford to work / stand alone. A lone game is an easy prey for the hunter. Working together will enable us to war together and take more territories as well as carry one another’s burden. Phil. 2:2-4.

.....and with all his problems, he hopes for betterment for those less aware or fortunate.

A microcosm of the reality we all bear....as we stride, and strive, toward something “better”...

“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”

ACTS 26:18 (King James Version)

My Shawshank Redemption – 1. Lancaster, California, Dortel Williams - Nov.10,3:00 am.  – Next September will mark my 20th year in jail. It is not an anniversary I'm particularly proud of. I was convicted of murder and hopelessly sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

When I arrived at the infamous Pelican Bay Prison, I was shocked right out of my criminal-minded circuit of stupidity. The flow of in-house narcotics profits didn't appeal to me anymore. My drug-dealing days had already brought me to terrestrial hell.

Like the majority of prisoners on the yard, I just wanted to do my time as trouble-free as possible. I simply wanted to build on the better part of me, redeem whatever part of me was possible.

As the cycle of drug abuse, negative peer pressure, and unfettered rebellion roiled around my years of confinement, I began to long for something better. I wanted to be productive, do something better.

That desire to build on the better part of me swelled, but with little comfort and no outlet. With fervent disillusion, I came to see the California Department of Corrections (CDC) as nothing more than an empty shell.

It's a colossal department with two overriding modes of operation: 1) behavior control with a heavy stick as its main prod; and 2) the fostering of survival of fittest, thus encouraging a cut-throat atmosphere of criminal cronyism. In other words, if you don't join a clique, you could be swallowed up as a loner in the predatory food chain.

Scarce are the rewards for positive behavior, especially for lifers. Still, I managed to remain disciplinary free for 14 consecutive years (dodging the racism, prison-styled hazing, and violent clique initiations), in spite of the pervasive violence, negativity, and hopelessness.  (to be continued)

“There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.”

JOB 3:18 (KJ)

“For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.”

PSALM 69:33 (KJ)

“Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:”

PSALM 146:7 (KJ)

“To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.”

ISAIAH 42:7 (KJ)

“That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.”  

ISAIAH 49:9 (KJ)

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

LUKE 4:18-19 (KJV)

My Shawshank Redemption – 2. (continued)  Ironically, it wasn't until I found myself in trouble (for being too friendly with a nurse), that I was transferred to the state prison in Los Angeles County, host of the Prison Honor Program.

Suddenly, my lack of cognitive stimulation and productivity was turned on its head. There was such a wide array of self-help opportunities to choose from, I didn't know where to start: yoga, creative writing, critical thinking, painting, and many other classes and activities.

I also experienced a different type of peer pressure. My first day out, I was approached by a succession of other prisoners, echoing the same guidance as the first guy: "We don't 'bang' here; we don't play [prison] politics, racial or any other kind; and we respect every one, including the guards." That speech has been an indelible part of my daily living for the past six years.

I later learned that the program was initiated in 2000 by other reform-minded prisoners. Prisoners who also had an avid desire for inner growth and change. With the support of open-minded staff, peer-instructed classes were allowed, using inherent individual talents to sharpen the masses.

To my amazement, not a single class was racially segregated. Everyone interacts and we've come to understand one another better. On the yard, all races play and exercise together, a freakish sight after years of being programmed the other way. Graffiti is nowhere to be found, replaced instead by colorful, creative murals and other works of art.

Since I've been here, racial riots, rapes, work stoppages, and the wide range of other wickedness are all memories of the past. I believe this is the only facility in the states that can make such a positive claim.

The success of the Honor Program cannot be denied. According to a study conducted by prison staff, the Honors Program saved the CDC (and taxpayers) more than $200,000 in its first year alone. Meanwhile, weapons infractions decreased 88 percent, and violence and threatening behavior dropped 85 percent.

In a state that features one of the nation's highest recidivism rates – two-thirds of Cailfornia's offenders return to prison within three years – such tangible evidence of behavioral correction is welcome indeed.

The secret to this is that it is a completely volunteer program. To our dismay, our success has earned only partial and inconsistent support from the institution and past secretaries of the department at headquarters in Sacramento.

Sadly there is still a school of thought that doesn't believe in incentive-based programs or rehabilitation. For members of this camp, continuation of the failed model is sufficient. They want the stick and nothing but the stick. Sadly, the violence, deaths, and costly court interventions don't help them see the light.

My hope is that the new secretary of the department, Matthew Cate, will see the light and help move corrections out of the shadows of the dark ages. It would be a shame to see such a proven success – and a single tree that could yield a much fuller set of branches – go by the wayside.

We cannot wrap our minds around

 how magnanimous our Holy Heavenly Father is.

“For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.  And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.”

MATTHEW 20:1-16 (KJ)

he Mystery of our Righteousness - 7.  (continued) Please touch your eyes and ask Christ to allow you to see and understand what you are about to read and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you what it all means. Listen carefully as the antichrist does not want you to know or understand this information. See Part One, 12 October 2008.

Okay, let me share with you what the Holy Spirit shared with me. (Remember, if you are saying, he doesn’t hear from God or God doesn’t speak to people—that is BLASPHEMOUS—so stop that kind of talking and thinking IVORY TOWERS.  “Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.” Matthew 12:31 (KJ) (Blasphemy: Saying something that is not of God when it is.) God is bigger than what any of us can imagine. We cannot wrap our minds around how magnanimous our Holy Heavenly Father is.

A key to receiving the Kingdom of Heaven. This is what I received and am receiving:

1)       Father God went out to find laborers. These laborers were not working for him; though some were seeking the Truth, others did not know of It or was not interested in it—but all those who were called upon came to work for Father God.

2)       Our Heavenly Father agreed to give all the workers a MUSTARD SEED OF FAITH, the penny.  They should have gotten paid more, they should have been given more faith which the LORD could have given, but He only gave a mustard seed… a very, very small seed which produces a big shade tree. Our Father gave us only a small amount of faith with which to work.

3)       This is a message of faith, trust, and obedience. Faith in the Father, trusting the Father, and being obedient to the Father. The mustard seed represents RIGHTEOUSNESS. We have to apply faith, trust, relationship, and obedience to allow our righteousness to grow into His Righteousness.

We have to apply faith, trust, and obedience to allow our righteousness to grow into His Righteousness. How does one do this:

4)       Seeking: Seek the Righteousness of Father God through the Righteousness of Jesus, Who is the Christ. (application of faith)

5)       Trusting: Trusting that The Father will not allow you to fail—should you fail—The Father will not allow your failure to be negative. (application of trust)

6)       Listening: Knowing Christ is with you 24 / 7 and is talking to you and because it is written in Proverbs 3:8, “Acknowledge God in all they ways,” talk to Jesus; “and He will direct your paths,” He will tell you what to do, where to go, who to meet, what to say, what to write, some of you can imagine what I am talking about. Others pray about it. (application of relationship building)

7)       Obeying: When the Holy Spirit or Christ speaks to you, or an Angel intervenes in your life circumstances, or things happen in a lucky manner—do not ABANDON your faith by saying it is: circumstance, chance, luck, happenstance, coincidence, being at the right place at the right time, or a mistake (hear: there are no mistakes with The Father), or any of those words (which has the tendency to move people away from Christ) which the antichrist has taught humanity. Move on what The Father has told you in His Writings (the Bible, etc.), what The Father has told you through His Beloved Son, or what an Angel has told you or any number of His Saints which speak according to His Holy Words. (application of obedience)

CHRIST IS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

JESUS IS OUR BRIDGE TO CHRIST

God has a character, Jesus has a character, and the Holy Spirit has a character.

Some characteristics are the same and some are different.

FATHER GOD

“Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.”

LUKE 6:36 (KJ)

“Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.”

ISAIAH 35:4 (KJ)

CHRIST JESUS

“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”

MATTHEW 11:29 (KJ)

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”

JOHN 134:34 (KJ)

THE HOLY SPIRIT

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”

GALATIANS 5:22-23 (KJ)

(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

EPHESIANS 5:9 (KJ)

Am Real… God wants you to know that He is really real. And I am afraid that many, many, many will find out the hard way. Sadness. This devotional is about the characteristics of our Heavenly Father, Christ Jesus, and the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit). It is important to remember saying what is of the Father, from the Father is not real is blasphemous. That is specifically directed to those who say that others do not hear from our Heavenly Father, as though He does not exist, is real, or manifests Himself to His Children in so many ways. Be careful about calling what is of the Father, blasphemous. God does not play. Let me explain.

I tell people to view the Holy Family through the eyes of a typical family: God as Father, the Holy Ghost as Mother, and Christ Jesus as Son. This is a simple, effective and strong concept.

Jesus as Son. We easily get Jesus as son, as the Beloved Son of the Holy Father.  “And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17 (KJ) Jesus our Counselor, as the Son who goes to the Father and says, “Dad, don’t be so mean or tough on them. Anyway just look into my eyes and my heart and see them in me.

Holy Spirit as Mother. Who else will teach you so much and comfort you? “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” John 14:26 The Holy Spirit comforts us, teaches us, and is constantly at our beck and call through the course of each and every day handling our every scraped knee or elbow.

God as Father. This is another easy concept. “But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.” Matthew 15:13 (KJ) Now this scripture brings home the message. And that message is Father God can be brutal and even murderous in many Old Testament events. I know that “God is love.” But tell that to the Israelites who were in the Wilderness for 40 years when they should have been out in two weeks. Or the Israelites who craved meat though instead of the daily manna from heaven, murmured and God filled their nostrils with Quail to the extent that they died. God does not play.

So when I get angry or frustrated or vocal about an evil thing, do not tell me that I am not in the spirit of Christ Jesus; or not a Christian or not acting like a Christian. More Christians need to get angry and upset about more things and maybe the “world will not go to hell in a hand basket.” Tell me that I am not in the Holy Spirit or exhibiting the Fruits of the Spirit, because you see, anger is something you can read about our Heavenly Father. And by the way, anger is something you can see written about Jesus as well.

In conclusion. I would always suggest to pray to Christ Jesus and ask Him to convey your message, your prayers to the Heavenly Father. When the Heavenly Father takes notice of you directly, He will be looking at your heart. (That could lead to trouble.) If the Heavenly Father looks at you through Christ Jesus, then He sees a Pure Heart. Which would you prefer to happen on your behalf?

 “The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you.”

HABAKKUK 1:1-5 (KJ)

The first devotional is going to tell you about three specific planetary events which will not begin in December 2012, but that will be the mid-point of these events. What this means is the event horizons for these events are beginning or about to begin, i.e., global warming, strange weather. When they begin, the physical events, they will coincide with or intersect with the present and upcoming political, social, military, religious, spiritual, and human events which shape our daily lives now, as we know them—they (our daily routines) are about to change forever for many. Please listen carefully. President Obama listen carefully.

President Bush, “Wardaddy,” is trying to do a number of things before he leaves office. Here are two:

1)       Stay in office by committing some military action which by the Constitution will keep him in office. Or get someone else to do so.

2)       Pay off all his campaign promises to his allies, cronies, and financial cohorts; filling up their coffers (hear: bank accounts) before he leaves office. Can you say “bailout?” Let me digress here for a minute. If a homeowner defaults on a loan, or a car owner, or a landowner, or a farmer, the B-A-N-K-S or finance company sends the collector to get the money, house, resource, etc.

But before they come, the “owner” (antichrist lie: the “owner” is the bank or lending institution, but there goes that “suspension of disbelief” thing again. People are “sold” they are homeowners and they believe it.), but before the bank comes to collect, the “owner” sells most of what he or she owns to pay off the debt or as much of it as possible. HEAR THIS! None of the institutions the Middle Class is bailing out is selling what they own. I am not talking about assets only, I am talking about personal household goods / treasures, personal luxuries, personal box seats, personal “you name it.” They are not selling anything: N-O-T-H-I-N-G at all like that, and hardly any assets to mention; not even giving up salaries, or substantial salary cuts.

What is happening is this. The Middle Class is propping up or keeping the status quo: interpreted—we are continuing the lifestyle of the rich (hear: NOBLES) by paying them money to continue to operate as rich people do, in the style they are accustomed, the rich foods they eat, the rich places they live—all the while thinking they deserve it—saying, “The poor you will have with you always. We deserve it; we are smarter than those people. ”

Question: Big Three Automakers—what have they sold to try to keep the company from going bankrupt? Nothing. They have $25 billion coming, approved from Congress. $25 BILLION; now they are going with another hat in hand, hoping that you will be too busy, too tired, too entertained, too involved to stop and call your congress person, your senator, to write your legislator, or to email your representative to let them know where you stand… to say, STOP. Get involved politically before it is too late.

In steps Obama… a man about change; great ideas, greater talker. Listen. I am a Southerner from North Carolina. I thought the Civil War was over until I came to Georgia. Then I found out that they have not forgotten Sherman. “Oh, poppy cock,” you may say. Listen. Which region of the country has the most military instillations? The South. Check it. Where is the Blackwater operations? Fayetteville, North Carolina—the South. Where is Mr. Bush from? Texas. The South. Listening now. Can you ask where is the Defense Contractors located? Can you ask, “Is the North prepared for a Southern military attack if necessary? This is why. The DIVIDED KINGDOM model; see 8 February 2008 IDD. Solomon who everyone in America and their brother is trying to be as rich as, and screw anyone and everyone along the way, right my brother? (Not talking about Obama here.)

(Here I am.) Mr. Obama if you merchandise “Obama,” give that money that you will get from the lower middle class folk back to them in the form of a social program. You know that the folks in the ghettos and who can ill afford security, food, clothes, and shelter will purchase the bulk of your merchandise; so give it back, please. Don’t be like Oprah, have tons, give a few pounds, then feel like she did something, she lost something. She did do something with you and Tyler, huh?

Back on topic. Okay, everyone listen closely. The upcoming planetary events will be kicked off with planetary reaction (people’s reaction around the planet), next fall from Australia when the sister sun to our own is visible; looking like a red one instead of yellow. Two suns in the sky will cause panic.  But before that, what is happening now—the Russians are sending weapons through Iran, through Iraq, through Afghanistan militias to kill Americans because America spent $1 billion dollars to kill Russian soldiers; then went on to make a movie to brag openly about it. Charlie Wilson’s War.  Russia: vengeance is the Lord’s. (Don’t think they heard it.)

What is also mounting is a white male backlash from corporate entities who are unsure as to what an Obama Presidency will bring, (hear: bring to their coffers). Be careful. The Divided Kingdom model is one where a country is taking away with idolatry, giving them a divided heart—the evidence is a divided mind—what holds most of your focus during the course of any day—the LORD’s Purposes, His Will, His Service? Obama has set the stage for the Kingdom (America) which is already divided along racial lines to become embattled militarily in it again. The liberal whites and blacks will look like Kent State against Blackwater regulars and / or US National Guard and / or US Army regulars. Incitement occurs between / among the troops. Conflagration. Who started what when? And how? Conflict… the stage is set. As this is happening, whatever it is…

Nuclear. US soldiers will not leave Iraq before small nuclear weapons are deployed. US soldiers in Afghanistan will receive small nuclear weapons attack. US soldiers in Korea will receive small nuclear weapons attack. US bases in Europe receive small nuclear weapons attack. Look to the Russians to supply the last components needed to send forward a multi-level, multiple location incendiary attack. Most of the US Army abroad will be destroyed or lost in the confusion that follows. This all happens as everyone’s attention is on potential, catastrophic planetary events promising at the doorstep. This happens before next December 2009 or before January 2010. Saudis and Bush components involved on secret levels as potentially same players during 911 event integrate new players of fortune. Players like these surreptitiously manipulate world financial systems with the end being their benefit.

Tectonic Plate Movements. There will be earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and other small planetary events pursuant to and before and after nuclear proliferation. Areas of the sky will darken for weeks, before clearing, other darkening events will occur. The world will be in disarray.

Then the food supply will be affected. (TO BE CONTINUED)

Things ALWAYS look differently through the Eyes of Jesus than through the eye of man.

“These things I command you, that ye love one another.”

JOHN 15:17 (KJ)

“A Psalm of David, Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.”

PSALM 32:1 (KJ)

“And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; they sins be forgiven thee.”

MATTHEW 9:2 (KJ)

Is unforgiveness in your mind? If you saw the title of this devotional and your heart skipped a beat or your mind “went to thinking” about that person, event, or unforgiveness in your life—then pray for Christ Jesus, for the Blood of Jesus to wash you clean of the unforgiveness, hurt, pain, and all the other negative energy that goes along with those unclean spirits which brought you that “stinking thinking” in the first place, due to life’s circumstances and life events which most all experience—only differently in many ways—but which should be viewed and experienced through the Eyes of Christ Jesus. Things ALWAYS look differently through the Eyes of Jesus than through the critical eye of man.

“(IF STATEMENT) Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: (THEN STATEMENT) Give, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:37-38 (KJ) What this is saying is this. Do not judge, do not condemn and you will not be judged or condemned. If you forgive you will be forgiven. Like you give to others, it shall be given back to you, whether you give good or bad, it is coming back to you. Some people call this Karma; or “what goes around, comes around.”

Most of the time people do not have the time (hear: are so busy) nor make the time to realize God is showering current blessings and future blessings their way by protecting them from the evil ones.

Let me say this before continuing. There are many people who are holding unforgiveness in their hearts. If your life is running into a lot of little obstacles, for instance, things are not going right in so many ways: the car may not start, or the grocery cart wheel is twisted, when you went to the doctor he couldn’t see you, or any little things like dropping a spoon with food on it—check this out—a SPIRITUAL KEY—if you hold unforgiveness in your heart, your sins catch up to you very fast and overtake you. Let me say it again, if you hold unforgiveness in your heart, YOUR SINS OVERTAKE YOU very fast. What happens is: GOODNESS and MERCY are no longer protecting your rearguard. In the Lord’s Will: “Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rearward.” Isaiah 58:8 (KJ)  “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” Psalm 23:6 (KJ)

How do you know this, you will ask? Listen very carefully. How many prayers did Jesus leave us with? Think. Think about this. Your Heavenly Father comes to earth in the form of Christ Jesus and only leaves one daily prayer for His Followers to use. That prayer must be extremely powerful and hold innumerable secrets to spirituality and spiritual growth—spiritual growth in the extreme. One section of the prayer concerns this devotional: “give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us…”

When you hold unforgiveness in your heart—I am not talking about hate, jealousy or things like that—I am talking about unforgiveness; when you hold unforgiveness in your heart your lose the forgiveness which is directed to you from Heaven. “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15 (KJ)

So all those little bad habits, all those little unclean spirits, all those big, bad demons come your way really fast. Oh! You didn’t know you were in a spiritual battle. When you enlisted in the Lord’s Army—when you got saved—you enlisted. Oh! Gobblety-go. Oh gobblety-go nothing! What did I tell you up above—saying spiritual things are not so is blasphemy. Demons and such are not from God, you may say. I ask you, “Who created them?” Not you nor I; maybe Father God huh? Right. Wake up!

The planet earth and its inhabitants renounce you satan.

The planet earth and its inhabitants loose themselves from you satan. 

The planet earth and its inhabitants casts you out of their existence never to return; keep out and stay out !  Depart satan, leave the planet earth and its inhabitants alone.  The planet earth and its inhabitants / are righteous sons and daughters, institutions, churches, schools, governments, clubs, neighborhoods, societies, communities, and organizations of Father God. 

Christ Jesus Emmanuel please pour Your Blood into the planet earth and its inhabitants and fill the planet earth and its inhabitants up and keep the filled up with Your Blood.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 – “What know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (KJ)

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,” Revelation 1:5 (KJ)

Adapted from Dr. Terry Law, Law Outreach World Ministries, P. O. Box 3563, Tuscaloosa, Oklahoma, 74101.

What is so important about Christ being is us is this: One person had Christ indwelling in them up until now: namely Jesus. If we can get five people or more carrying the Christ like Jesus, then we, I believe can change the world and the world’s spiritual destiny.

Too often modern-day Pharisees pass on their beliefs to new Christians

getting them to dance to the old “antichrist” tune. Gain is not godliness.

“Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.”

Here is the mystery revealed in the Matthew passage: THE PENNY REPRESENTS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. (I believe that this analogy applies to the Parable of the Mustard Seed where the mustard seed is our righteousness. Additionally, the Parable of Talents—where the Talents represent our Righteousness. See how things tie together in the Words of Jesus. Why are there those people who seek new teachings—secret teachings of Jesus—when the LORD, El Shaddai, has not given them what is in the scriptures they presently have? Now read the first scripture again with new eyes.

Please listen closely. (Listen modern Pharisees, The Father is watching and listening to you, especially early in the a.m.). “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.” Romans 10:3 (KJ)

Let me stop here before I lose you completely. To the above Keys, know this: YOU NOR I CAN DO ANYTHING TO OBTAIN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD BUT IT BE GIVEN FROM ABOVE THROUGH JESUS, WHO IS THE CHRIST.  (This is for mature Christian Seekers: There is nothing, you or I can do to obtain the Righteousness of Christ Jesus, except it be given from The Father.)

“…and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)”

Romans 5:17b (KJ)

“… even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.”

Romans 5:18b (KJ)

Have you ever been in bed and you could not move a muscle?

Have you ever been gripped by fear?

“For their power is in their mouth, (Banks with the ability to tell you a lie with which you live in every day—homeowner owns the home when the bank actually owns it; thus the genre of lies.) and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. (Their reach from its central location, stretches through its branches, personal bankers, loan officers, dividend managers, and approval authorities.) And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues (Depression, recession, compound interest, credit, greed, avarice, complicity—murder in spirit, those unable to compete financially, those psychologically fiscally deprived, drained spiritually due to worship of money—their striving for it.) yet repented not of the works of their hands, (Writing poor and bad loans; writing loans to non-existent clients, rejecting / declining opportunities for the less fortunate; extending credit to people with known poor money management, or loaning money to illicit sources or for illicit purposes.

he Ether -1. This is a spiritually mature devotional. Please ask Christ to allow you to receive this information because it is specifically for spiritual warriors, those on the spiritual warrior path, and those who plan to exercise their status as a spiritual warrior-priest of the Holy Father God. This devotional is a spiritual key; use it for active spiritual growth and empowerment.

I am going to speak here from my experience. Your experience may be different, and then again, it may be strangely similar. If disbelief attempts to enter into your hearts, simply say, “The LORD rebuke thee.” This is a good practice to use during your days and nights when any negative thought approaches you (if you hear a negative thought), simply say, “The LORD rebuke thee.”

Dictionary.com as most sources I checked immediately speaks of ether as a highly volatile, flammable liquid chemical composition. Sure, in the carnal, earthly realm ether is a chemical. But that is not what I am addressing here. For the purpose of this devotional and your spiritual life, ether is the SPIRITUAL REALM. We live in the earthly realm or plane which intersects and is a part of spiritual realm; they exist together. What am I talking about? First, you have to realize that you have a spirit residing in your body. Do you know that you have a spirit in your body? Not your emotions. Not your mind. Not your heart. Your spirit. Your spirit dwells in your body. This vessel of yours represents an intersection of the spiritual realm and the physical realm. What I just wrote, I just heard for the first time, just now. Wow. I knew about our spirits being in our bodies, but I never in all that I am about to tell you thought of the fact that our bodies represent a entranceway, a portal into the spiritual realm. The portals which allow us entrance into and out of the ether, the spiritual realm is what this devotional is about. I will address “portals” soon.

Dictionary.com lists synonyms for ether as: air, anesthetic, atmosphere, compound, element, gas, sky, solvent. This is especially interesting from dictionary.com: Physics. A hypothetical substance supposed to occupy all space, postulated to account for the propagation of electromagnetic radiation through space. This sounds like the ether I am talking about.

If you have ever been lying on the bed or on the sofa and suddenly you were gripped with fear and then you could not move. This experience can happen to you without the fear coming first, without the fear at all, or the fear coming later depending on how you handle the situation. Ok, how many of you have ever had that “gripping” experience? Doctors, psychologists will tell you that that is “anxiety;” an anxiety attack. Let me tell you, I have had those attacks and they only went away once I could get my lips to move, to get my tongue to move, to get my mouth to move to say, “Jesus.” “Jesus.” “Jesus.” Then once I could get “Jesus” out of my mouth, I would then say, what? Yes you guessed it, “The LORD rebuke thee.” When this so-called anxiety attack happens, know this: it is an attack from the enemies of Father God, from one enemy typically—an unclean spirit. One unclean spirit attempts to get in then it is followed by others; once one is inside you, it leaves the door, the window, the crack, or the pin hole open for others. (to be continued)

When you hold unforgiveness in your heart—I am not talking about hate, jealousy or things like that—I am talking about unforgiveness; when you hold unforgiveness in your heart your lose the forgiveness which is directed to you from Heaven. “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15 (KJ)

EXAMPLE: And if you have an issue (hear: unforgiveness (disclosed or not)) towards God, say, “Father God, I forgive You for __________.” It will be so. This is an act of forgiveness and forgives those to whom it is directed. “And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.” Luke 7:48
