TEST of leadership

 Lamentations 3:40

King James Version

40 Let us search and try our ways, 

and turn again to the Lord.

No wonder GOD wanted me to keep writing about Trump.

Which I did yesterday.

The 10-day-old leadership of president Trump was to be tested.

As well as the five-day-old leadership of Pete Hegseth, the new defense secretary.

Not to mention the day-old leadership of Sean Duffy, the new transportation secretary.

A commercial plane and military helicopter collided yesterday.

The airliner carried 64 on board; the chopper, three.

At least 28 bodies were recovered.

Many believe no one could have survived the impact and explosion in mid-air.

Neither the freezing, choppy waters of the Potomac.

CBN News reports the water temperature was at least 35 degrees F.

35 °F is equal to 1.67 °C

-- Inch Calculator

We commiserate with the families of all who may have lost their lives.

It's especially poignant, considering their plane was already preparing to land.

Something that happened a month ago, with the south Korean incident.

Should people be afraid to fly now?

No -- our lives are in GOD's hand alone.

Job 12:9-10

King James Version

9 Who knoweth not in all these 

that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, 

and the breath of all mankind.

A true tragedy in the early throes of the renewed Trump administration.

Reminding me of a tragedy that faced my own Philippine president, Benigno Aquino III, after he just sat in office on 30 June 2010.

Barely two months in office, he, too, got a "baptism of fire".

A disgruntled police officer took 25 hostages in a bus, 20 of whom were tourists.

"The Philippine and Hong Kong governments conducted separate investigations into the incident. Both inquiries concluded that the Philippine officials' poor handling of the situation caused the eight hostages' deaths."

-- Wikipedia

The first thing that came to mind?

President Aquino was being tested for his "leadership".

Now, it's happening with president Trump, and his two newly-confirmed cabinet members.

I mean, what are the chances that he, and his two men (relevant to the incident), would be tested so early on?

In any major leadership, crucial "tests" are given.

Somehow, I know how Trump would handle it.

With heart, firmness, and common sense.

Strangely, the American Airline incident directly involved the  Federal Aviation Administration, too.

Trump's press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, just mentioned the FAA in her FIRST press briefing two days ago.

That was her opening at the briefing, talking about the "drones" over New Jersey, silencing all qualms, and conspiracy theories.

As if by GOD's design, we also just mentioned the FAA in our article yesterday.

This will test Leavitt's leadership, too, for she will be busy addressing questions from hereon.

Even as the president already did today.

All these, I was made to "witness".

THANKS to the HOLY SPIRIT.

Who keeps leading me, inspiring me, and teaching me.

I really must keep writing about Trump.

It's the assignment GOD had given me.

Is GOD keeping us all "sharp"?

That, I am wont to believe.

Now, Hegseth, and Duffy's, will look into their departments.

Yesterday, president Trump blamed air traffic control.

Today, the DEI issue came up.

Expect Trump to be rid of that, completely.

Trump said he made reforms after Obama's presidency.

But Biden reformed his reforms.

And now, Trump reformed it again three days ago,

Knowing the president, he will make sure an incident such as this never happens again.

GOD-willing, it won't.

The air space in D.C. is very busy.

Trump, in his usual common sense, questioned why the plane, and helicopter, were on the same level, and direction.

Arthur Rosenberg, an aviation attorney and former pilot, felt the same way, too.

As the president gave his initial statement last night, I thought to myself he won't let this pass, without an uproar.

He cannot bear lives lost, because of ineptness.

After all, who could be the busiest "flier" than Trump?

He has his own TRUMP plane.

Now, he's got back his Air Force One presidential plane.

Not to mention his Marine One helicopter.

Of course, I expected his critics to forget that.

They sure did, as they "attacked" him at the presscon.

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.

NAVIGATION we need

 

Jeremiah 33:3

King James Version

3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, 

and show thee great and mighty things, 

which thou knowest not.

What makes for perfect navigation?

A map?

A guide book?

A satellite system?

A celestial system?

A bunch of gurus?

Or a different celestial system?

The born again knows.

If you want perfect navigation, turn to GOD.

SPIRIT and Scripture attest to the LORD, our GOD.

Look at how He navigates for us, and how He directs us.

Away from all possible harm:

Nehemiah 9:11

King James Version

in a vision of the night,

and sealeth their instruction,

17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, 

and hide pride from man.

18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, 

and his life from perishing by the sword.

Psalm 23:1-3

King James Version

I hope it does, for there's only GOD to trust.

Through His Son, JESUS.

SKETCHING the EYES

 1 Samuel 16:7

King James Version

7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, 

Look not on his countenance, 

or on the height of his stature; 

because I have refused him: 

for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; 

for man looketh on the outward appearance, 

but the Lord looketh on the heart.

It's been decades since I last sketched.

I would normally sketch eyes, effortlessly.

As if there was something about eyes, that beheld me.

But I would normally sketch lovely women's eyes.

Enjoying the curve of the eyebrows, the slant to the eyes, the long lashes, the light-colored gaze, the grace to it all.

Taking up architecture seemed to have dislodged all that.

Probably because structure replaced "freehand".

It was only today -- 44 years after -- that I held pencil and sketched again.

But this time, I sketched a face, outlining the features, and the background first.

And this time, I skirted around sketching the eyes.

It was a stranger who coaxed me into sketching him at a park.

A small group of people gathered, waiting, and watching.

I remember that stranger's beard, hair, and eyes.

And I sketched everything, BUT the eyes.

I left it for last.

Those round, black eyes.

The mirrors to the soul were to be last.

I seemed to be sketching for hours.

Prodding myself to finally take to the eyes.

But somehow, it didn't get done.

Strangest of all?

It was a dream.

I had been sketching a stranger in my dream.

A man I never saw in my whole life.

Another poignant thing is that GOD woke me up at EXACTLY 4:44 a.m.

It took me 44 years to finally sketch another face.

What is it about the number "4"?

Ed f. Vallowe's "Keys to Scripture Numerics" says the number 4 stands for:

CREATION....WORLD

Interesting...

Something to think about, for a future time.

But those eyes were forever imprinted in my mind.

Only because I didn't get to sketch it.

And I sure don't want to lose the memory.

You know how dreams are.

They could be strange.

You know the motions you do.

You know how you egg yourself to act on things.

You even know your movements.

What was SPIRIT making me see?

Why did I leave the eyes for last?

Why had I not finished the sketch?

I was about to do the finishing touches.

Such as darkening the hair, for contrast.

That the face may stand out "among the trees".

And last of all, the eyes, which would complete the face.

Everyone waited patiently on.

Including myself.

But I never got to doing the eyes.

Those round, black eyes that my hand wanted to faithfully sketch.

For I was like a copying machine when I'd sketch.

I wanted to capture ALL the details.

I wanted to capture the EXACT image.

I wanted to capture EXACT proportions.

But I never got to finish those eyes.

It's not a disturbing dream.

Just an intriguing one.

Before GOD made me born again over 50 months ago, I had no trouble sketching eyes.

It served as "doodle" for me.

Now that I'm born again, it was the last I could touch.

Perhaps, because the eyes are sacred?

Very strange, indeed.

Leaves room for thought.

But I leave everything to GOD.

Only He sees the soul anyway.

THREE-day JOURNEY

 

Proverbs 29:18

King James Version

18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: 

but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Surely, I'm not imagining it.

A born again devoted to the WORD of GOD can't.

But here are some random thoughts.

Occurring over a period of days.

Three days, in fact.

All attuned to Scripture.

As I observed the world, daily:

1. When covetousness is gone, you can really serve GOD. The struggle ceases. Covetousness is idolatry.

Colossians 3:5-6

King James Version

5 Mortify therefore your members 

which are upon the earth; 

fornication, uncleanness, 

inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, 

and covetousness, which is idolatry:

6 For which things' sake the wrath of God 

cometh on the children of disobedience:

2. The goal has always been perfection. Not by man's standards, but by GOD's standards. Thus, JESUS.

Matthew 5:48

King James Version

48 Be ye therefore perfect, 

even as your Father which is in heaven 

is perfect.

3. When GOD wants to expand your work, prepare for something wonderful. GOD is full of surprises. Only a fool would not want to work with GOD.

1 Corinthians 15:58

King James Version

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, 

be ye stedfast, unmoveable, 

always abounding in the work of the Lord, 

forasmuch as ye know that your labour 

is not in vain in the Lord.

4. Only through SPIRIT can we understand Scripture. Only through SPIRIT can we know JESUS. Only through SPIRIT can we be born again.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

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.

5. Following the world is risky. There is no risk in following GOD. Your salvation and surety can only come from GOD; not from great wealth, insurance companies, tax havens, or people.

Luke 16:14-15

King James Version

14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, 

heard all these things: and they derided him.

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.

Following JESUS is the best course to take.

Obeying GOD is what JESUS taught us.

SPIRIT reveals everything JESUS did for GOD.

Why do we struggle so?

In an instant, all could be well.

In an instant, all could be gone.

In an instant, all could be peaceful.

Only GOD has true power over everything.

Revelation 1:8

King James Version

8 I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, 

which is, and which was, and which is to come, 

the Almighty.

Once you are born again, all foolishness stops.

You commit Scripture to heart.

GOD's WORD is that powerful:

Psalm 119:97-106

King James Version

97 O how love I thy law! 

it is my meditation all the day.

98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me 

wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.

99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: 

for thy testimonies are my meditation.

100 I understand more than the ancients, 

because I keep thy precepts.

101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, 

that I might keep thy word.

102 I have not departed from thy judgments: 

for thou hast taught me.

103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! 

yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: 

therefore I hate every false way.

105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, 

and a light unto my path.

106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, 

that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

JESUS is the SAME forever

James 1:6

King James Version

6 But let him ask in faith, 

nothing wavering. 

For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea 

driven with the wind and tossed.

Man's laws constantly changes.

Depending on his personal agenda.

His mind shifts.

His loyalties shift.

His heart shifts.

And yet, the LORD JESUS remains the same.

Hebrews 13:8

King James Version

8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, 

and to day, 

and for ever.

The LORD's love doesn't waver.

John 15:9

King James Version

9 As the Father hath loved me, 

so have I loved you: 

continue ye in my love.

In comparison, man is governed by these:

Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.

1 Corinthians 3:19-20

King James Version

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 

For it is written, 

He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

20 And again, 

The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, 

that they are vain.

Ephesians 4:14

King James Version

14 That we henceforth be no more children, 

tossed to and fro, 

and carried about with every wind of doctrine, 

by the sleight of men, 

and cunning craftiness, 

whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

Colossians 2:8

King James Version

8 Beware lest any man spoil you 

through philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world, 

and not after Christ.

1 Timothy 4:7

King James Version

7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, 

and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

2 Peter 1:16

King James Version

16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, 

when we made known unto you the 

power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

Being born of water, and of the SPIRIT, as born again, helps us understand the laws of GOD.

Scripture guides us.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

SPIRIT guides us.

John 16:8-15

King James Version

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world 

is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, 

but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, 

is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, 

that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: 

therefore said I, 

that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

We cannot be swayed by the world's ways, once we belong to JESUS.

We have come to know the ONLY ONE to believe in.

In JESUS lies our PEACE.
