The March of beat of God's Grace...!

So how are you? I'm fine. I hope you're fine too. Sometimes when thing start drying out here I visit my old Blogger account. It takes me back to where it all started. It's like visiting an old freind. It feel good to be back on the old town...

It just occurred to me, that we nothing but a breath. We puff and puff and what ever but everything marches all according to God's merciful grace. I had a great day. As always everything was ajar, wrong size, wrong brand, wrong application, wrong! wrong! wrong!...

But God showed that nothing is going to happen until heaven is ready and pleasing. But its' great to breathe new air. Although we've been all around. Yes, God can make things anew even with old things...

Yep! Nothing happens until we pray and hope on God. God has reserved for himself the last word and glory and the last laugh if you will...but remembering that God is a good God and want all the best things for us...what if everything marches to will of this good God that we have...

A New Outlook on life...and perhaps God...!

I was feeling particularly relieved today. I had finished some chores around the house that were taking more peace from me than I realized. I feel so much better now. And now when I thought that it was safe to feel relieved, Christmas and Thankgiving is around the corner...

I happen to like the havoc of this time of the season or play on words, the season of havoc, I perhaps happen to like. The fact of the matter is that we are broke. But the good news is that we're broken. And that's our treasure.

We have a whole new batch of faith in our heart to meditate upon. I sought this moment so much. It's been a while since I had a break. God wants to meditate upon Christmas and Thanksgiving.

God said through John the Baptist that no one can receive anything unless it is granted from heaven. And I think we are in the pinnacle of the year, when the hot weather will begin to wind down.

God made each season for every purpose and purpose for every season. In God glorious wisdom, each season last just enough to fulfill its purpose. The harvest time of the year, a time of browning of leaves and cool breezes in the evening.

But Thanksgiving start it off and we have through a lot and have a lots to be thankful for, perhaps even the tense times that come along. And somewhere along the thanks-giving we can forgive those who have offended us.

If we can turn out a good harvest of forgiving some if not many, then we have had a good year and we can really look forward to ending the year with a sense of real accomplishment. I hope your year is a year of forgiving, just as God has forgiven us in Christ. Ephesians 4:32.

May you be blessed. Amen.

Spilling the beans on the con-job...

Wow! Hello Journal, have I had a day! They kicked us out of so-and so club site! It was disappointing to be cast out! I now know what it is to be cast out! Easy, easy take easy soul. Relax and let on the spilling the beans about the con-job!

I don't know if I can put it together. I fear. I won't be made clear! Well let's head on! Once upon a time the devil started a compaing in Babel or now Babylon. He want to get into the business of humans and their God.

He started a Religion called Mystery Babylon the Mother of all abominations. This is in Revelations. He figured man likes to feel good, so we will invent a religion where he will feel good. And the devil know or knew that men like personal satisfaction.

And we wanted to feel good about obeying God and started the Religion of works. And surely we will hop on the bible and make man obey God. That will work. After all God has nothing against obedience.

You know what happend to Adam and Eve for disobedience. God punished disobedience. So that what we will build. A guilt trip based on obedience. God will surely punish those who get out of my obedience trap.

Am I clevely devil or not?! So throughout history we will prompt men to feel holy for obedience. You know this Jesus is praised for his obedience even unto death. Men will want to imitate him. And many imitate the great ones of obedience of the bible.

I will not mention what Exodus 31:31 say that the Sabbath is a perpetual sign to remind God and men that it is God that sactify them. I want them to trust on their own 'obedience' to feel holy. Like if they owe God something.

This is wonderful! You cleverly devil! Men want to feel good. And I will teach them to look down on other 'sinner' so they feel more good and more holy. And for desert I will obscure the command to forgive others and put this ritual with those who worship idols!

They will never imatate an idol worshipper! But then I will have a party, just before the He comes who says I AM, who does he think he is God?! I need proof of that! But about the party! I will put a test to test their obedience. I will require them to accept my stamp or else?

I will take hostage their pantry. They won't be able to buy or sell groceries unless they have my permission. I will not permit with out my stamp! I know by then they will all believe that they have to loose their lives and they love in order to be holy!

They will never believe that non-sense Solomon who said somewhere that one should not be over-righteous and destroy ones head for their 'holiness'? I know they will have trouble! Their own family will pressure them to take the stamp of my approval!

But if they only knew that they did not have to believe me and do what ever they have to eat and have shelter. Their own Lord told them what David do when he hungered, he went into the temple and ate the holy bread and shared it with those who were with him.

But this sort of stuff I will never bring up in Bible School. I have to keep them believing that they have to keep earning 'holy' points until they are holy enought to be worthy of anything. I will make them lament and question their salvation. Why they would never question what they have

been taught in church for centuries! But I better hurry and help them feel more good and holy before He come and ruins the party for us devils. Hush! Do let anyone spill the beans! Well we see ya soon, holy people, you are VIPs at my party coming soon! Yo ah take care naw!

Journal! Journal! Help me! I had the most horrific nightmare. I'm glad it was just a nightmare! It was so real! The devil has this plan....

Getting off the stage-coach...

Now that felt good. Getting off the stage-coach and into the inn. Sound like the scene of western movie in Rio Bravo or somewhere in some dusty town of the old west. And we I get off the stage-coach I go to my summer house in the country-my blogger account.

We got thing going elsewhere, but we just want to take it easy and try to think clearly for second. We've been running round and round the web and we just want to retire here for the evening. Now where do you think I would go with such as this introduction.

Well let's pray and hopefully God can tell us what and in what direction he has numbered our steps. We went into some web hosting but we were not to satified with the results. We want to be where the fish are.

We've made lots of friends here in this site and written quite a bit of blogs and had some view and comments on those blogs. Someblogs were out-lawed and some held at gun-point and some ambushed. But most of the cattle made it safe to the corral.

There this certian person in this site one old and one young, both precious on my friends list. I really pray when I wake I write something that ministers to them. We haven't been able to fast like we should. The flesh is giving me a fight.

Sooner or later I really have to turn in my badge to God and let him run the jail for a while while I visit the saloon and check for building code violations. A Sheriff is indespensible. You just have to lighten up and loosen up there. You are all too tense and stressed.

I seems everything is in check here in the saloon. The wine is fine and the tables are clean. I'd better get back to the jail and keep an eye on 'Billy the Kid' and keep him there until the marshal get here for the trial.

When the marshal get here, he's going to put alot of people in jail. We'll thats that way things are in my town out west. I could use a Mexican Salami burrito right about now. Yes and now you know what happens if you get off the stage-coach in my old town here in old blogger west. May

you keep out of trouble. You don't want any trouble with the sheriff. Bye.


See ya now!

Looking back a little bit...

Sometimes I turn back to my blogger account and tell it something I don't tell any other. It's when I take my tea or coffee and just let my mind wonder and think and take the road less trodded. Ever since we started our blogger account things began to happen.

Now we have an account in about two and a half sites. I call one a half site, because it's under devilopement and we had our problems there, but the Lord allowed us to stand. At Christianblog, we made a lots of freinds.

At True2Ourselves the building continued. The Lord has allowed me the greatest streak of prodigal indulgence since January of this year. The Word of God just keep on giving. All we've written we just have given it away like the same way our host allowed us into their sites.

I think the greatest challenge for the Christian blogger is staying faithful to the word of God, because not everyone does. And when become clear to me, sometimes it is not clear to everyone and sometime we have misunderstandings.

But our of the flints of strife the Lord has been able to bring fires of fellowship and freindship. It has been a good year so far. But then we have to pray for the less fortunate than ourselves and perhaps refresh their dire life with the wealthe that we have.

And now the Lord want to minister to our youth and how are we going to do that. I have to ask for God's help and grace to accomplish that. But I still believe God can accomplish any task his sets his heart to do and we don't doubt that it will come to pass in due time. May you be blessed.

The deal with giants...

I was ending my day with heavy afflictions. My hobbies did not give me rest. I couldn't read the bible. Even my friends who visit me did not lift me up. I really did not know what to do. I turned my face to the wall, sat and told God my problem and sins.

Then I changed the channel on my TV and tuned to a 'christian' station. They were having a telethon and the show brought me back to remember something. I used to support this television station with regular giving.

But ever since I noticed some 'pastors' spending most of the time in the lobby of that 'christian' television station. I realized that that television station had turned into a 'church' were some few individual control the spirit of the station.

I stopped giving totally and have no regrets. I see them now spewing out their whim doctrines. A a television which was a wonderful channel for the gospel had its perfect ruin from the work of Satan. God says that if anything is not focused on him, that group is not christian.

Yes many call themselves by God's name and proclaim things, but the end result is to focus on themselves and not on what God has to say. Religion bases on what man does is not of God. Turn to 1Thessonians 2:4-6,

["...4But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
5For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
6Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ..."]

Now these characters have no intention to represent what God has to say at any time. Turn to Phil. 2:19,

["...19But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
22But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
23Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me..."]

And these individual are truly giants in the literal sense and call them selves by God name. And the fact of the matter is that this persons truly believe they have angelic parents and have some real 'heavenly' power. Turn Gen. 6:4,

["...4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown..."]

And they believe they can grow children to God at will and certainly believe that God does not choose whom he has foreknow and elected to save. They really belive they can invoke the holy spirit on anyone them choose.

To finish this 'giants' or Anakites of the industry. The bible dictionary label them in hebrew meanin "long-necked or strong necked" And certainly dragons have long necks and strong necks. And these people are known to God. Turn to Jude 3-4,

["... 3Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ...."]

Yes these folk deny the word of God to teach and tell other people what they itch to hear. They give and offer a Jesus them can accept on their own terms, and the Jesus of the bible. All in order to continue to be giants and have the mega churches. May you be blessed. Amen.

When things get dire...

Sometimes I end the day trembling because of the trouble we have in this life. The constant sniping from satan and his emmiseries can run us down to near zero strenght and near zero faith. But it all has to change.

When we life our eyes and see the Lord and remember his words that he will never leave us nor forsake. And in fact we have nothing to fear in this life no matter if we walk in the valley of the shadow of death.

Some of us have illnesses or have cronic unemployment or just plain want to give up on life. But if we only took a hard look at the majesty of God and try very hard to understand and percieve that the Lord is faithful and can be trusted to answer when our storms come.

Why don't we do just do that forget all that our troubled heart tells us and listen to what Jesus want to tell us for our own good. We turn to Palm 23,

["...1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever..."]

Why don't I take this six barrel shooter verses and point them right at Satan and tell the devil, let me tell you six things in case you have forgotten...the Lord is my Shepherd: I shall not want...!
