Signs of the times

To lend insight to the difference of opinion here are a few from a website posting the comments of family and the grandchildren of the late Senator "Teddy" Kennedy: "Buckanddoodle13
09:38 AMAug 30 2009
NOW MABE MASS CAN MOVE ON AND ELECT A SENATOR WHO CAN ACTUALLY MOVE THE STATE AND OUR COUNTRY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. KENNEDY WAS AS FAR LEFT AS HE COULD GO, AND TRIED TO TAKE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WITH HIM."

I want you brainwashed zombies to pick up your local newspaper this week. Someone will be killed by a drunk driver. When you read the story, imagine describing the drunk driver as a great and noble man." also: "JOKER DANO
09:36 AMAug 30 2009
MAYBE SOME DAY WE WILL LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT JFK'S ASSASSINATION. THEN PEOPLE WILL SEE WHAT ANIMALS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS. WHY DID NIXON LIE ABOUT BEING IN DALLAS AT THE TIME JFK WAS KILLED??????? REMEMBER NIXON AND THE BUSH FAMILY WERE VERY CLOSE. GEORGE W BUSH EVEN DATED TRICA NIXON." and this one: "Skc968

Jmadamspa///09:30 AMAug 30 2009///Seriously, how can anyone call him a "great man" ? He was cheating on his wife, got blitzed, drove into a river, left a young woman in a sinking car, walked past a private residence, and a fire station, and returned to his poker game. This is not some sort of crazy right-wing conspiracy theory. This really happened. The authorities made findings of fact. He did not deny that he did this s hit. Why are you trying to convince yourselves, or anyone else, that these are the behaviors of a "great man". That conduct is shameful. Stop bulls hitting yourselves. That is the first step toward recovery.**************Thank you!!! Guess you will be on the list as well. LONG LIVE THE LIST!!!!!"
I was burning with criticism and animosity and wanted to react foolishly from a flesh point of view, then I ushered my thoughts to hear the pain and see the need in these individuals rather then further the evil by reacting in flesh, I responded in spirit with this...

In the honor of free speech I must appreciate even the stupid, derogating and brainwashed agendas, but I should give my own to flavor the cauldron pot of conversation. For those of us(we are one race, one CREATOR and one blood) who embellish on negative from a different perspective, pray for that one and live openly to lend view of diversity with grace and understanding. Attacking one another with silly names and altered judgements intensifies division.
This adorable being Edward Moore Kennedy was perhaps the male version of Mother Theresa dedicating his life to correcting "rights" that should have been privy for the sake of humanity. Sure as all of us with skeletons in our closets, he spent his youth finding himself without the shadow of another. He found himself and his purpose not his father's wish or his brother's dream. His "failures" allowed him to examine his purpose and the platform(Senate for almost half a century) with respect for everyone and their belief. He fought to give voice to those without microphones(acceptance) and to provide liberty for all not just a selected few. If you can't appreciate his faults honor his need to serve which is what he did up until his dying breath. He acknowledged his error of decision in each of the press documented experiences of his life with sincere repentance and dedication to service. I have not in 47 years heard of any public figure that the media and society haven't found something to promote negatively rather than use that negative to show human errors and correction of them, accountability and responsibility. All of us have found excuses to escape the depths of self evaluation and public acceptance. Respect one another and be different but being different doesn't have to divide or conquer just communicate and honor the findings.

Will we ever stop believing lies and except truth?

From the beginning of time humanity has allowed the forces of evil to penetrate our authority and decrease our power. Since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden(Genesis chapter 03), we have consistently fell for the banana in the tailpipe.
The forces of evil evolved from Pure and Holy to what we know of it today, an enemy to THE ALMIGHTY GOD(1. Chronicle chapter 21), prior to being kicked out of Heaven due to rebellion that evolved from pride(Proverbs 16:18).
Believing his own hype the angel Lucifer with all his authority and leadership of various offices in Heaven attempted to overthrow GOD and HIS PURPOSE, for Lucifer's vision and ideology. He was talented beyond our capabilities of Holiness, a personal assistant to GOD. His revolt failed and he kidnapped one third of the angels(Revelation 12:04) and became prince of this world(John 14:29-31), prince of darkness(Luke 22:52, 53/Luke 11:333-36/1. John 01:05-10) and a principality(Ephesians 01: and 03:08-13/Luke 10:18-21). Reading these verses and chapters you will notice with all his might, we have been given power and authority by ALMIGHTY over Lucifer, Satan, Beelzebub, that old dragon and the devil just a few of the titles assigned to the prince of this world. His anger from the failed rebellion has kept him busy tempting us with monetary and finite obstacles deluding our faith and trust in THE ALMIGHTY. He lied to Eve when he told her she "would not surely die(Genesis 03:04)" and to JESUS while HE was fasting in the wilderness(Matthew chapter 04).
Eve believed the hype, JESUS rebuked Satan and used Scripture to expose his lies. JESUS stood HIS ground with confidence in HIS belief and The Word of GOD, He did not flirt with disaster or trust what Satan was saying.
We on the other hand will play with temptation, execute doubt in THE ALMIGHTY to excuse our lack of faith and fall victim to that we have been deemed "more than conquerors(Romans 08:37)" over. We submit to our flesh and ignore the HOLY SPIRIT warning us through heart felt conviction. We forget that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but spirits. We need to embrace the Holy Bible(Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth) and implement the Commandments into our daily life experiences. We need to recapture our inheritance of Power and utilize the Word to combat temptation and lies.
The subject of abortion has always rubbed me wrong because I feel as though the "so-called" right to choose should be prior to conception not after it. Clearly we make decisions that are not always the correct ones but covering up a mistake or denying it only escalates the consequences. Planned Parenthood is to assist you with controlling your body and administering medication when you can't. Vacuuming your body to kill a life before it has a chance to develop into itself if murder. Roe vs. Wade was a human compromise not a right of decision.
As much as we are screaming for non-governmental actions to our rights Roe vs. Wade was begging the system we claim to protest to help you murder a child that you carelessly allowed to enter into your existence. We have full and complete control over the actions that initiate conception. Abstinence, birth control and reversible surgeries. The only option you give that child once it begins to develop in your body is the horrid suction into a waste receptacle as if its a garbage disposal ridding your sink of crumbs. A website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion had this to say about abortion:" From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus/embryo, resulting in or caused by its death. An abortion can occur spontaneously due to complications during pregnancy or can be induced, in humans and other species. In the context of human pregnancies, an abortion induced to preserve the health of the gravida (pregnant female) is termed a therapeutic abortion, while an abortion induced for any other reason is termed an elective abortion. The term abortion most commonly refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy, while spontaneous abortions are usually termed miscarriages." and further, " Spontaneous abortion (also known as miscarriage) is the expulsion of an embryo or fetus due to accidental trauma or natural causes before approximately the 22nd week of gestation; the definition by gestational age varies by country.[2] Most miscarriages are due to incorrect replication of chromosomes; they can also be caused by environmental factors. A pregnancy that ends before 37 weeks of gestation resulting in a live-born infant is known as a "premature birth". When a fetus dies in utero after about 22 weeks, or during delivery, it is usually termed "stillborn". Premature births and stillbirths are generally not considered to be miscarriages although usage of these terms can sometimes overlap."
I will spare the gore of pictures but hope you allow the words to penetrate your thick skin and become a voice for a child who otherwise become waste in a landfill somewhere on planet earth. I'm not suggesting disrupting traffic or damaging abortion clinics but that we become aware of the truth and flush the lies. If any of us had been aborted in the beginning we would have no feelings pro or con. Think about that.
The argument that bombs and guns help restore order or save lives to promote war is another pet peeve of mine. The world over cries for life, justice, equality and providence, yet are quick to shoot a gun or ignite a bomb or slash a wrist or throat. Torture is an amendment to capture and humiliate. The idea of inflicting enormous pain on a human to gain insight to culture is overboard in my process of thought but governments and militias have invoked these instruments for reference. We have entered deep into the twenty first century and still resorting to barbaric and primitive actions to communicate with diversity.
The two current wars that America and the world are witnessing leaves an empty space in my psyche. How is it that Peta will throw paint on an individuals personals and allow a government to abuse innocence and youth to validate wars that should never have been allowed? The mere shock of the tortures and forced commands leave the minds of these innocent victims/soldiers confused and abandoned by a society that claims to be the model for humanity the world over. These soldiers are sent away like slaves to foreign lands and thrown into combat with enemies of life and righteousness not to mention religion.
Hence another peeve of mine the argument of religion to kill, steal and destroy life for weapons, war and fame(John 10:07-18). Religion is instituted as a guideline of beliefs and trusts, we have abused its authority and fight irrelevant wars to excuse the abuse of righteousness. With so many realms of acceptance and rejection how can we expect cohabitance without pure and undefiled actions? I am growing into understanding as I relinquish my flesh and its authority for the inner peace of my spirit and its desire to reunite and communicate with ALMIGHTY. It becomes easier to conduct my reactions and interactions with others than to judge and pass sentence on others(Matthew 07:01-06 ). I've learned to look for the positive and observe the negative with wisdom and understanding. It eases stress and generates compassion toward all. Permitting me to think outside the "box". I evaluate (me) in every situation and appreciate every opportunity to enhance my understanding and increase my abilities to live and let live(Philippians 04:08-13). I release anger for understanding and associate mistakes with opportunities for wisdom which comes from ALMIGHTY(Proverbs chapter 08).
A final example of the lies we accept is the "welfare system". How many times have the children that is the sole propieter for the money distributed by governments slipped "between the cracks" and fall victim to homicide and murder or torture and humilition? The neighborhoods that house these children are filled with violence and liquor stores, rarely a grocery store or playground. Noone has reformed the system or protested for these innocent lives. As one concerned I once attempted to help a family that was teetering violence and crime. The agency was more concerned with sending a check to me for the children rather than investigating the allegations and assisting the mother with proper shelter and provision.
I've also been involved with an abusive and deranged mate and sought assistance through the police department and the judicial system which informed the culprit of all of my information while serving him a restraining order. It always seems as though the defendant receives greather right than the victims.
I can see why we would not want to become involved but that is what is increasing the immoral and violence our society faces due to misinformation and lack of concern. We can all do more to become involved with our world today, there are so many avenues of media and information to communicate valid opportunities to enable society to live peaceably. Accepting responsibility and owning failures promote growth by experience. Govern your flesh don't let it govern you and we are our brothers keepers. Seek pure, holy and Spiritual wisdom and control flesh and negative thoughts and actions with spiritual guidance. Reject the situation to invite negativity and promote peace through love, compassion and understanding.

Forgive to live

This year in particular seems to be one of the most death filled times of my experiences in this life. I have been in the company of death since I can remember. Constantly ushered to a funeral accompanied by the rumors, heresy's and the caskets filled with adorned members of someones family. I can remember rehearsing to act or perform at certain ceremonies. As a child I'd hear things and respond to them to gain ground or acceptance. It quickly became a trigger for a lengthy separation from reality. A complete depression filled with excuses and accusation but no merit(Acts 25:16).
As I began to journey toward ALMIGHTY GOD and HIS PURPOSE for my life, I am learning to shed negativity and gravitate toward positive and illuminated energies(Matthew 05:13-20). I can see the HAND OF GOD in my daily activities and constant evolving of my previous beliefs. Recently I witnessed the power of forgiveness at a reunion of a former place of worship. I exhaled and proceeded by faith into the path GOD DESIGNED(Romans 10:16, 17) and I must daily or at least repeatedly humble my flesh and permit my spirit to follow GOD'S PLAN(Zechariah 07:09, 10).
With the many public deaths that have been announced,
Bea Arthur, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, to name a few. The thoughts of forgiveness have weighed at my heart and I've concluded life is too short and unexpected to stall a relationship due to monetary or imperfected truths. I have had opportunities to witness and view so many facets of life and it's abilities to alter or destroy what you or GOD had in store for your future. GOD has allowed me these experiences to grow in my faith and adopt the characteristics of Holiness and Love(Romans 12:01, 02).
As a society we look for trinkets and monetary gifts to evaluate success or failure. This is an injustice to the truth of the power and abilities granted us for being CREATED IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD(Genesis 01:26-29).
It has been established and documented that GOD'S WAYS are not our ways and GOD'S THOUGHTS are not our thoughts(Isaiah 55:06-12) and the movie Passion by Mel Gibson. Many of us recite THE LORD'S PRAYER from the 6th chapter of the book of Matthew, there is a line "forgive us our debts(sins)as we forgive our debtors(sinners)." We are telling GOD to forgive us as we forgive others. Yet we harbor anger like Moses and deprive ourselves the fullness of being "set-free"(Romans 08:01-17).
Anger, resentment, envy, strife and hatred are spiritual cancers that penetrate the soul and destroy life. The time spent housing these culprits create division and cancel equality and forgiveness. Forgiveness on the other hand disables the power to destroy and allows healing and love to permeate rather than the cancer that only serves to kill.
A site, http://www.explorefaith.org/life_issues/why_forgive/forgiveness_justice.php had this to say about forgiveness. "Forgiveness and Justice
Isn't forgiveness all about things that happened in the past?
Written by L. William Countryman
In the long run, our growth in forgiveness is a part of our growth in faith. We can’t sever them from each other. As we grow in faith, we experience the change of mind and heart that brings us closer to what God has always aimed for us to be: citizens of the age to come, beloved friends to God and to one another, people whose lives overflow with God’s love, people who practice justice and peace. "
There are many situations disguised as right to prevent the practice of justice and the character of peace. If we want GOD to forgive us, we must also forgive those that we think have wronged us. Each situation involves various truths and accounts that need to be individually assessed. Permitting GOD to instruct and guide your spirit would reduce the accidents of your flesh when you are caught off guard. The evidence of freedom is the mental acceptance of that fact. You must first believe and then receive. Consistent walks in the spirit cancels the flesh and its weapons, strips the power to destroy and aides and heals every wound. You will have to train yourself to take a moment to seek GOD and do an immediate physical exam and place yourself in the hand of GOD and have HIM CORRECT the situation if that is necessary. Often times we rush to fix what isn't broke because we are viewing with the eyes of our flesh and imprisoning our spirit. Grow in grace and live in peace are easier said and done in the WILL OF GOD and not our interpretations of predicated circumstance. Families are ripped apart from a previous altercation and passed through generations, this should stop and healing will take its place and reform and rehabilitate. Friends are broken due to money or heresy and this also should stop. Relationships are an amenity to allow us growth by faith and action. Alone we have depression, doubt, loneliness and anger, in relationships we have participation, interaction and opportunities not ignited alone. Therefore we should welcome opportunities to share and learn. Appreciate every situation for without it your journey would be stagnant and void. Go in Peace forgive and begin to live.
