JUST wondering

 Ephesians 6:10-12

King James Version

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, 

and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, 

that ye may be able to stand 

against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 

but against principalities, against powers, 

against the rulers of the darkness of this world, 

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

I'm not into conspiracy theories.

I merely connect the dots, through the HOLY SPIRIT's prompt.

More often than not, as I write an article, other articles are spawned.

I merely follow SPIRIT's lead.

Such as when we ended yesterday's article with:

"America is on the road to recovery with the Trump team.

Nation-wise, militarily, economically, and spiritually.

CHRIST's enemy knows that.

Precisely why he placed obstacles before them.

And that's for another post."

-- "AMERICA's re-elected HOUSE speaker"

This article you're reading now is that "post".

The trigger actually came right at the start of the Mike Johnson video, when he prayed for the victims at Louisiana.

Wherein a military guy plowed through Bourbon Street.

Killing 15, and injuring dozens of people.

RIGHT at that moment, I began to wonder if it was connected to a recent cybertruck explosion:

Are these "coincidences"?

FIRST, the car-ramming in Louisiana, which happened to be Speaker Johnson's home state. It happened just days before he was to be voted in Congress.

SECOND, the blowing up of the Tesla cybertruck, in front of the Trump hotel. Tesla's Elon Musk, and president-elect Trump, are pretty close. Trump's inauguration draws close.

THIRD, both perpetrators are military men; both American citizens. What pushed them over the edge?

FOURTH, both came from Fort Bragg.

FIFTH, both didn't mind perishing (the first perished through police gunfire; the second was self-inflicted).

SIXTH, both seemed to have marriage problems.

Are these two random events, or are these connected?

Were they meant to warn the TRUMP team?

Is there a larger picture here?

What made these men "fall off"?

We are not into conjecture either.

We wait for the investigator's findings.

We shall know more as the days evolve.

We add videos below as they show up each day.

But we do know this -- Satan continues to menace.

Either to cause panic, fear, confusion, deception, hatred, anger, death, and destruction.

Those are his "fingerprints".

BEWARE his ways, and intentions:

1 Peter 5:8-9 

King James Version

8 Be sober, be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, 

knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished 

in your brethren that are in the world.

And to the public, know this:

Only through JESUS 

can we be safe, and saved.

The LORD assures believers:

Matthew 10:28

King James Version

28 And fear not them which kill the body, 

but are not able to kill the soul: 

but rather fear him which is able to destroy 

both soul and body in hell.

Luke 21:18

King James Version

18 But there shall not 

an hair of your head perish.

Revelation 1:18

King James Version

18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; 

and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; 

and have the keys of hell and of death.

BEYOND peripheral VISION

1 Samuel 3:1

King James Version

3 And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. 

And the word of the Lord was precious in those days; 

there was no open vision.

Once a reader of new age material, I prided myself in having "peripheral" vision.

It's "seeing" from "outside the corner of one's eyes".

I thought that was the right way to "see".

Of course, new age makes you think you're more than you really are.

Well, soon as GOD made me born again in 2019, I began to see differently.

Starting with losing all sense of "self".

My vision truly expanded.

I began to see beyond the peripheral.

I began to see , and become aware of "others".

Their plight, their needs, my sins against them.

When you really start "seeing", the latter is the most painful of all.

But it's something you have to go through.

That's what automatically happens when GOD makes you born again.

FIRST, you receive a "humbling".

SECOND, the "forgiveness"

THIRD, the "anointing".

You begin to finally "see", as GOD wants you to see.

Your vision is not clouded anymore.

You begin to understand, and grasp things, through Scripture.

The WORD of GOD becomes your ONE, TRUE GUIDE.

You begin to appreciate everything GOD gave you.

You begin to acknowledge all your sins.

You realize self is not as important as new age says it should be.

I never thought I was the center of the universe.

I always thought the sun was.

Even that was corrected.

Only GOD is the center of the UNIVERSE.

Concern goes beyond self.

You begin to truly care about others.

Love becomes "unconditional".

Because JESUS taught us that.

That's what it means to go BEYOND peripheral vision.

Now, you have SPIRIT and SPIRITUAL vision.

You are now being taught by the HOLY SPIRIT.

He teaches you about GOD, self, and others.

He teaches you about GOD's commands.

He teaches you about JESUS.

He tells you of past, present, and future.

He answers all the questions you have.

As born again, you see who you really are.

You see others for who they really are.

You see the world for what it really is.

You see GOD for Who He Is.

You see JESUS for Who He Is.

You see SPIRIT for Who He Is.

You see Scripture for what it is.

Nothing is withheld from you anymore.

As born again, you see beyond the norm, the usual, the programmed.

It's like, all of a sudden, you don't need to "wear" glasses anymore.

Now, you see through the LENS of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Your "vision" has become perfect!

Or, at least, being perfected.

Now, nothing is being hidden from you.

Scripture tells us all we need to know.

That's why I marvel, and write like crazy.

We have created 110 blogs, as of this writing.

Those blogs explore, and expand, on our Bible discoveries.

As my vision expanded. so did my understanding of GOD's laws.

Now, you don't need to see through "philosophy".

Or what man thinks you "should" focus on.

Now, all you care about is that SPIRIT makes you "see".

You don't need intellect, as much as you need a childlike heart.

As a teen, I came across this quote from "The Little Prince":

"It is only in the heart that one can see rightly, 

what is essential is invisible to the eye".

-- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Today, I reflect upon it.

And discover HALF of it is right.

It is not "in the heart" that makes us see rightly.

It is only "through SPIRIT" that one can see "rightly".

1 Corinthians 2:10

King James Version

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: 

for the Spirit searcheth all things, 

yea, the deep things of God.

And yes, Exupery was HALF right, too.

"What is essential is invisible to the eye".

John 4:24

King James Version

24 God is a Spirit: 

and they that worship him 

must worship him in spirit and in truth.

JESUS said these of the HOLY SPIRIT:

John 3:8

King James Version

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

John 14:17

King James Version

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it seeth him not, 

neither knoweth him: 

but ye know him; 

for he dwelleth with you, 

and shall be in you.

Apostle Paul speaks of the "unseen":

2 Corinthians 4:18

King James Version

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, 

but at the things which are not seen: 

for the things which are seen are temporal; 

but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Pray to be born again.

You have no idea what you're missing out on.

I champion the cause of being BORN AGAIN.

Not in the way many elite, or prosperity churches have abused it.

But in the way that JESUS defined it.

John 3:3-7

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time 

into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

Only through GOD's LOVE, and GRACE, do I have clear vision.

Otherwise, I couldn't write as I do.

Much less understand Scripture, as I have.

I'm done with peripheral vision.

It is limited.

GOD isn't.

TRIMMING the LAMP

 

Matthew 25:6-7

King James Version

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, 

Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

I had no idea the significance of "trimming" the lamp.

I had been doing it nearly three years now.

Every single day, several times a day.

Lighting a candle, in honor of my baby sis.

And trimming the wick, every so often.

Spurgeon declares that, as "High Priest", JESUS would "trim" the lamps.

He also said mentioned in a video another set of "trimmers":

"These Philistines have intruded into our temple

under the pretense of trimming our lamps

but their aim is to put them out."

-- Charles Spurgeon

I didn't realize my trimming the wick every so often had any spiritual significance at all.

I thought it was just plain common sense, to make the candle burn better, brighter, and longer.

I had been doing it long enough, to know it actually works.

Now, SPIRIT and Scripture, gave new dimension to my every day task.

As warrior, writer, and watchman, I am tasked to share the gospel

To tell you that JESUS is the LIGHT.

That we need Him in this dark world.

That only through JESUS can we do anything.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

Through Scripture, my readers would have REAL hope in JESUS.

They will not fear; but trust the LORD.

They will understand GOD is in control of everything.

They will also know who is trying to put their lamps "out".

I also learned a few more things about lamp "trimmers".

How vital their task was.

"In the days when light came from burning oil in lamps, a vessel at sea needed crewmen to constantly care for the lamps. This care involved trimming the wick, which drew the oil up from the storage reservoir, so that the flame would be clean and bright."

-- Wikipedia

I was also right in doing what I was doing.

Trimming the wick, and all that.

"The end of the wick of an oil lamp needs to be cut off periodically to avoid having it become clogged with carbon deposits. The wick height is also adjusted so that the flame burns evenly and gives good light without producing a lot of smoke."

-- World English Bible footnote to Matthew 25:6-7

Sometimes, it's mundane tasks that have great significance.

Because a born again is wont to view it differently.

Through the LENS of the HOLY SPIRIT.

We connect everything through Scripture.

That's how precious the Bible is.

It tells you about GOD.

About JESUS.

About SPIRIT.

About the world.

About the enemy.

About others.

And about you.

The UNFATHOMABLE mysteries of GOD

 

Deuteronomy 29:29

King James Version

29 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: 

but those things which are revealed 

belong unto us and to our children for ever, 

that we may do all the words of this law.

We will struggle a lot in life, unless we're born again.

We may be plenty angry, too.

We may turn resentful, and rebellious.

For we will be puzzled at how life seems hard.

At the seeming lack of justice.

At how GOD can allow certain things.

Such as pain, death, sorrow, suffering, chaos.

We won't be able to plumb such depths.

Unless we are born again.

Which is another mystery, too.

John 3:3-8

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time 

into his mother's womb, 

and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born 

of the Spirit.

When you're born again, GOD teaches you His laws.

Through His Son, JESUS.

Through His Spirit, the HOLY SPIRIT.

Through His Word, Scripture.

Then all will become clear.

The struggle will end.

Resentments will end.

Confusion will end.

Anger will end.

PEACE will prevail.

And you will begin to understand what JESUS meant.

When He said:

Matthew 16:24

King James Version

24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, 

If any man will come after me, 

let him deny himself, 

and take up his cross, 

and follow me.

Hardships have a purpose.

GOD's ways are NOT our ways.

His thoughts are NOT our thoughts.

GOD said that Himself, through Isaiah:

Isaiah 55:8-9

King James Version

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, 

neither are your ways my ways, 

saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 

so are my ways higher than your ways, 

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Now, you will be able to understand the verses.

Which are to follow.

In the context they were given.

All for GOD's perfect purposes:

GOD gave us His ONLY begotten SON.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

PURPOSE: That the world "might be saved", through JESUS.

Only through GOD's perfect mind, can He do such a thing.

He made His SON to be sin, for us.

2 Corinthians 5:21

King James Version

21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, 

who knew no sin; 

that we might be made 

the righteousness of God 

in him.

PURPOSE: That we "might be made the righteousness of God".

JESUS taught us holiness, righteousness, and perfection.

Joseph suffered, through his brothers, for GOD's perfect plan.

Genesis 50:20

King James Version

20 But as for you, 

ye thought evil against me; 

but God meant it unto good, 

to bring to pass, 

as it is this day, 

to save much people alive.

PURPOSE: To "save much people alive".

This, during the days of famine, as prophesied.

There is no judging another, for GOD has a perfect purpose.

John 9:1-3

King James Version

9 And as Jesus passed by, 

he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, 

saying, 

Master, who did sin, 

this man, or his parents, 

that he was born blind?

3 Jesus answered, 

Neither hath this man sinned, 

nor his parents: 

but that the works of God 

should be made manifest in him.

PURPOSE: That the "works of God should be made manifest".

GOD has a gift for all mankind, even through physical suffering.

GOD answers a prayer, through His terms.

1 John 5:14

King James Version

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, 

that, if we ask any thing according to his will, 

he heareth us:

PURPOSE: Our prayers get answered "according to his will".

JESUS taught us -- it's ALWAYS been about knowing GOD's WILL.

Being born again is the only way we can begin to understand GOD.

And not swear at Him, when we fail to receive blessings.

Or our prayers don't seem to get answered.

Or GOD "seems" not to hear our cry.

Or an answer seems "late".

Or we don't receive what we asked for.

When you are born again, you get to know GOD's ways.

And His way is "perfect".

Scripture testifies of it:

Psalm 18:30

King James Version

30 As for God, 

his way is perfect: 

the word of the Lord is tried: 

he is a buckler to all those 

that trust in him.

Trusting GOD means --

The struggle will cease.

We then lose our tantrums.

And look to GOD in awe.

Romans 11:33

King James Version

33 O the depth of the riches both 

of the wisdom and knowledge of God! 

how unsearchable are his judgments, 

and his ways past finding out!

Why SPYING is FUNNY

 

Galatians 2:4

King James Version

4 And that because of false brethren unawares 

brought in, who came in privily 

to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, 

that they might bring us into bondage:

If you think spying is an honorable game, wait till you hear what Scripture has to say.

If you think spying is fun, wait till you hear why it's funny.

If you think spying is cool, wait till you hear what will turn your heart cold.

Here's my stand:

I don't need to spy on anyone.

What for?

GOD tells me everything I need to know.

JESUS already told me everything I need to know.

SPIRIT tells me everything I need to know each day.

Scripture tells me everything The TRIUNE GOD wants me to know.

Don't you see how wonderful GOD is?

If you're a believer, you know where you stand with Him

If you're not a believer, you know, too.

GOD is transparent.

He expects us to be transparent, too.

John 4:24

King James Version

24 God is a Spirit: 

and they that worship him 

must worship him in spirit 

and in truth.

In this world, you never really know.

Unless you believe in JESUS and Israel.

Ah, then, you'll know where you stand.

John 15:18-19

King James Version

18 If the world hate you, 

ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, 

the world would love his own: 

but because ye are not of the world, 

but I have chosen you out of the world, 

therefore the world hateth you.

In man's world, most is hidden.

By the elite few.

In GOD's world, nothing is hidden.

All is revealed.

Just a matter of fulfilling the last prophecies.

Which Scripture already laid out for us.

Many have already been fulfilled, more to go.

Being born again is the best!

I know what to believe.

I know Who to believe.

I know where to put my trust in.

After all, true PEACE comes from FAITH, and TRUST.

In the RIGHT Sources, such as these:

In JESUS is LIGHT.

John 8:12

King James Version

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, 

saying, 

I am the light of the world: 

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, 

but shall have the light of life.

In GOD is ABSENCE of darkness.

1 John 1:5

King James Version

5 This then is the message 

which we have heard of him, 

and declare unto you, 

that God is light, 

and in him is no darkness at all.

In SPIRIT is LIBERTY.

2 Corinthians 3:17

King James Version

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: 

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, 

there is liberty.

Spying is such a NEUROTIC thing.

You always wonder what others are doing.

Your eyes, and ears, are gonna fall out from doing all that.

Much better you focus on what GOD's doing.

Or what He has done, and will still do.

Consider what spying does:

Spying is a TRAITOROUS thing.

You check what others are doing.

And they think you're friends.

Such betrayal.

Spying is a DANGEROUS thing.

Watch documentary spy videos.

You'll find spies out-spy each other.

Not only that, they betray each other.

Spying is a DESTRUCTIVE thing.

You aim to steal secrets.

The other aims to do the same.

Until such time you've both outlived your purpose.

It's all about BETRAYAL.

How can you be comfortable with that?

There is no truth in spying.

There is no loyalty.

There is no sacredness of life.

There is no stability.

How can it not destroy you, as a person?

Consider who you REALLY serve, when you spy:

John 8:44

King James Version

44 Ye are of your father the devil, 

and the lusts of your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning, 

and abode not in the truth, 

because there is no truth in him. 

When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: 

for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Only GOD has a RIGHT to send "spies".

For His own perfect objectives.

Especially regarding His chosen people.

Numbers 13:1-3

King James Version

13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, 

saying,

2 Send thou men, 

that they may search the land of Canaan, 

which I give unto the children of Israel: 

of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, 

every one a ruler among them.

3 And Moses by the commandment of the Lord 

sent them from the wilderness of Paran: 

all those men were heads of the children of Israel.

To read that full account, click here.

If you're thinking of becoming a spy in this world, forget it.

Or, if you're already one, please reconsider.

Why live such a life?

Why live such a lie?

Why live such a low?

Consider these things:

If you think you're good-looking, someone else is more good-looking.

If you think you're rich, someone else is richer.

If you think you're smart, someone else is smarter.

If you think you're slick, someone else is slicker.

If you think you're favored, someone else is more favored.

If you think you're fast, someone else is faster.

You will smart at the fact someone else is smarter.

And yes, even ruthless.

It's a no-win situation, honest.

Now, you see why spying, and the above, are a form of neuroses.

It will drive you nuts.

It will drive people from your life.

It will destroy lives.

It will take out all godliness from you.

It will deplete you.

FORGET covert stuff.

Why?

JESUS tells us why:

Luke 8:17

King James Version

17 For nothing is secret, 

that shall not be made manifest; 

neither any thing hid, 

that shall not be known 

and come abroad.

My SPIRIT-guided suggestion?

Don't get a lie.

GET a LIFE.

Have eternal life with JESUS instead.

Focus on JESUS, for a SURE future.

John 10:28-30

King James Version

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, 

which gave them me, 

is greater than all; 

and no man is able to pluck them 

out of my Father's hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

I told you Scripture tells me everything.

We have over 100 blogs to prove it.

Without any neuroses, on my part.

And without hurting anyone at all.

But we get to love you, when we tell you GOD's laws.

When you spy for yourself, or others, you betray self, and others.

Not to mention how we betray GOD, Who taught us to love.

You will be mired in an intricate web of lies, and deceit.

Is that really how you want to live?
