One of the Best Moments of My Life during the "Bush" era was when I Took the time the Read The Holy Bible chapter by chapter & verse by verse from Genesis to Revelation due to hearing the elder Bush reference that George W. had read it three times. I felt ashamed I'd read other literature's and information's methodically but restricted The Bible by leaders denying THE STRENGTH OF GOD'S WORD(2 Timothy 03:05 & Titus 01:16 & 1 Timothy 105:08) led by their own desires.
Scripture Informs, "When CHRIST JESUS COMES AS KING, HE WILL BE THE JUDGE OF every1, whether they are living or dead. So WITH GOD & CHRIST AS WITNESSES, I(apostle Paul 2 Minister Timothy) Command(Encourage) You to Preach GOD'S MESSAGE. Do It Willingly, even if It isn't The Popular Thing To Do. You Must Correct People and Point Out their sins. But Also Cheer Them Up, and when You Instruct Them, Always BE PATIENT. The time is Coming when people Won't Listen To Good Teaching. Instead, they will look for teachers who will please them by telling them Only ? they are itching to hear. But You Must Stay Calm and Be Willing To Suffer(Acts 09:16, Romans 08:17, 1 Corinthians 12:26, 2 Corinthians 01:06). You Must Work Hard To Tell The Good News and To Do Your Job Well(2 Timothy 04:01-08)".
Earlier In Colossians 03:1-17: You Have Been RAISED TO LIFE WITH CHRIST. Now Set Your Heart on What is IN HEAVEN, WHERE CHRIST RULES AT GOD'S RIGHT SIDE. Think about What's UP THERE, not about what is here on Earth. You died, Which Means that Your Life IS HIDDEN WITH CHRIST, WHO SITS BESIDE GOD. CHRIST GIVES MEANING TO Your Life, and WHEN HE APPEARS, You WILL ALSO APPEAR WITH HIM IN GLORY. Don't be controlled by your body. Kill Every desire for the wrong kind of sex(only the Union of Marriage orchestrate Right Sex). Don't be immoral or indecent or have evil thoughts(2 Corinthians 10:05). Don't be greedy(Joshua 07:07, Luke 03:14, Philippians 4:11, Hebrews 13:05), which is the same as worshipping idols(Isaiah 02:08, Jeremiah 50:38, Jonah 02:08, Zechariah 10:02, Romans 02:22, 1 John 05:21, Revelation 09:20).
GOD IS ANGRY WITH people who dis Obey HIM BY doing these things. That is Exactly what you did when you lived among people who behaved in this way. But Now You Must Stop Doing such things. You Must Quit being angry, hateful, and evil. You Must No longer Say insulting or cruel things about other. Stop lying to each other. You Have Given Up your old way of life with its habits. Each of You is Now A NEW PERSON. You are Becoming More and More Like Your CREATOR, AND You WILL UNDERSTAND HIM BETTER. It doesn't matter if You are a Greek(non Jew) or a Jew, or if You Are Circumcised or Not. You may Even be a barbarian(foreigner-non Greek) or a Scythian(a savage), and You may be a slave or a Free Person. Yet CHRIST IS ALL THAT MATTERS, and HE LIVES IN ALL OF Us. GOD LOVES You and HAS CHOSEN You AS HIS OWN SPECIAL People. So Be Gentle, Kind, Humble, Meek and Patient. Put Up With Each Other, and Forgive Anyone Who Does You wrong, Just As CHRIST HAS FORGIVEN You. LOVE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN anything else. IT IS WHAT TIES Everything COMPLETELY TOGETHER. Each One of You IS A PART OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND You were CHOSEN TO LIVE TOGETHER IN PEACE. So Let THE PEACE THAT COMES FROM CHRIST CONTROL Your Thoughts. And Be Grateful. Let the Message about CHRIST COMPLETELY FILL Your Lives, While You Use All Your Wisdom To Teach and Instruct Each Other. With Thankful Hearts, Sing Psalms, Hymns, And Spiritual Songs To GOD. Whatever You Say or Do Should Be Done IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, AS You Give Thanks TO GOD THE FATHER BECAUSE OF HIM. Further in chapter 4:2-18: Never Give Up Praying. When You Pray, Keep Alert and Be Thankful. Be Sure To Pray that GOD WILL MAKE A WAY FOR Us To Spread HIS MESSAGE AND EXPLAIN THE MYSTERY ABOUT CHRIST, even though I(Paul) is in prison for doing this. Please Pray that I Will make The Message as Clear as Possible. When You are with unbelievers Always Make Good Use of The Time. Be Pleasant and Hold their interest When You Speak The Message. Choose Your Words Carefully and Be Ready To Give Answers To Anyone Who Asks Questions. After this letter has been read to your people, Be Sure To Have It Read In The Church. I am signing this letter Myself: PAUL. I Pray that GOD WILL BE KIND TO You. I simply Adore The Apostle Paul & the Disciples for their Testimonies and Experiences of their life and times With and without CHRIST. It took me a longer time to Complete the Entire Bible because I had to keep pausing to Reread quotes I had been misquoting or rather quoted out of context. Revisiting those same Scriptures, see neither They(Scriptures) nor Time had changed. There are due to technology & experience various translations or dialects of The Bible but as GOD SAID HIS WORD WOULD NOT RETURN TO HIM VOID. It Doesn't. We distort it and assassinate It's CHARACTER by our desires and agendas. To Each his own. As for time changing, yeah from this moment to that moment but the moment itself will Arrive With or Without your desires. Not everyone wakes up after they've gone to sleep, and not everyone asleep is dead(comatose). It is My Desire To Follow THE WILL OF GOD & Acknowledge my errors immediately so they have no time to regroup(find another temptation) and re attack(manifest their findings). I want them gone on to the next falling Saint while I Re Group( inventory desires), Re Submit(To GOD, My Authority to control) and Re New(My Faith, Strength & Trust IN ALMIGHTY GOD). I counter my flesh with every attack by THE WORD OF GOD just as CHRIST DID in the wilderness. Observe how the enemy personally attacked HIM WHILE HE WAS ALONE with thoughts because the devil(GOD'S/Our enemy) doesn't have a physical anything he is only SPOKEN WORD just like the 6th DAY CREATION no flesh just SPIRITS then the 8th DAY AFTER GOD'S REST & OBSERVANCE OF HIS WORK DECIDED TO CREATE Us IN HIS IMAGE see it never says that about the angels or the spirits of evil they are just SPOKEN WORDS(message). We Are Protected from the sons of GOD(the sixth DAY CREATIONS who caused THE FLOOD of Noah's Day to rid the Earth of the giants being born to Satan(the opposite of GOD desires). This is why the Law Of Moses Ushered Temporary Relief from the powers that be over Our Power to Know the difference. The buildings, Mosques, Temples & places of Worship all the schools(my husband gets tickled by Sunday School) should be Preparing us for the battles these spirits wage against us by entering our thoughts which eventually control our bodies. Like Janet Jackson recognized a Freedom of Expression in the 1980's We as THE BODY OF CHRIST ought to Recognize sin and its affects on Our Heavenly Bodies, Housed in CLAY FROM THE EARTH GOD PLANTED HIS SPIRITS then GAVE THEM POWER Over EVERYTHING including NAMING THE ANIMALS & EVERYTHING ELSE GOD CREATED FOR Us to Utilize as Time permitted us Experience & Maturity While Searching for Wisdom & Understanding. I'm Stronger & Wiser yes So Much Better than I was in 1977 at the age of 15 leaving home. Looking back it was only an illusion of power that made the decision to wander through the earth in search of love I had no knowledge of but longed for anyway. That's insanity isn't it? Repetition of actions to achieve a variant definition becomes insanity to repeat the cause to change the outcome. Well that's my best interpret because I don't agree with a lot of the languages we each call our own but it is Not. Deeply attuned to the activations or temptations that allure to my flesh as opposed to the ones that assassinate My Spirit. My Spirit Reveals Secrets and Does So Without sorrow. My flesh on the other hand is consistently seeking revenge or vindication and either results in some form of sorrow. Guilt(ego wounds/feelings of Control lost), regret(wanting to repo any Kindness), sorry(obsessed with vindication) different from apologetic(acknowledging an error & Requesting ReConciliation) & vindication(vigilante activities seeking self gratification a conscious decision to be judge & jury) are all children of evil and our flesh. Thoughts our bodies give birth by reacting. If we had learned this in Sunday School we could have avoided correctional institutuions and rehabilitaions. Instead consistently and to date we are studying " will a man rob god", " give and it shall be given", "a few of the 600+ COMMANDMENTS" & " don't forsake fellowship".
The Weapons Needed to Succesfully Fight The Battle THAT IS THE LORD'S are hidden between the pages of the few Scriptures they repeat to rehearse their illusions by our reaction to their lies. I've become stronger IN THE LORD'S ARMY by Reading, Searching, and Studying HIS WORD and Applying It To My Heart so that It Permeates My Daily Existence. I'm not gonna write as though its easy anything easy isn't worth having. You Learn Appreciation by losing it then you Give it as You Realize its Value. I'm a huge fan of The Apostles Luke & Paul. Neither had the Opportunity to Know JESUS as a CONFIDANT AND MENTOR, but both Experienced HIM AS A PERSONAL SAVIOR. Once Receiving The Message of CHRIST'S Death & Resurrection they relented to ReEducate Those that had become complacent with Forgivness forgetting THE KINGDOM'S WORK. GOD'S KINGDOM IS NOT OF this world Therefore HIS NEEDS WON'T BE EITHER, Except where We are concerned. We Matter TO GOD(John 3:16). "Resist the devil and he will flee from you(James 04:07)". The story behind that Revelation is Itself a theme for the next movie. The wrong context " you must avoid your old friends and habits because that's the old you and the devil will trick you back in the world if you hang with worldly people." I like the Commentary in My Nelson's Study Bible, " Submit 2 GOD: We must Follow in Order 02 COMMANDS in this verse. 1. We Must Submit TO GOD by Abandoning our selfish pride(verses 01-06). Submitting also Involves Putting On THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, an IMAGE THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING from Placing Our Faith IN HIM to Immersing Ourselves IN THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD(Ephesians 6:11-18).
2. We Must Resist Any temptation that the devil throws Our Way. Then the evil 1 will have No choice but to Flee, 4 We WILL BELONG TO THE ARMY OF THE LIVING GOD.
I was running for my Life one night and the devil was screaming that he was going to kill me as he was chasing me down the middle of West Grand Ave. in Central Oakland, CA. I had consciously decided I no longer Needed THE HAND OF GOD "interfering in my affairs, if HE IS TRULY A LOVING GOD HE WILL back off and permit me to experience life without HIM since HE SEEMS TO HAVE DOMINATED at least 88% of My Life. I had Praying GreatgGrand & GrandMothers. Big-Momma and Mama.
I tried to escape religion, god, gods, astrology, pathology, phsychology and Everything that would Invite one to consider a Final Destiny. I look back over my life and observe my lowest points were when I was allowing the mental status of others to dictate the Presence of my mentality. I would consciously seek individuals to give Responsibility of my life to. A pathetic frame of thinking but at the time it looked a lot like what I had perceived as love from my childhood. Adults whether Parents or not should be very alert to the Innocense & Presence of children. Be mindful not to utilize their Impressionable and unDeveloped Minds as city dumps and their ears like garbage cans. They are Learning therefore aware of things they don't quite Understand but have the Opportunity to Witness verbally or visually. I remember things that seem to have happened during a time I was unable or stubborn to speaking, therefore I grew up with a perceived thought about any circumstance or situation borrowed from others interpretations & receptions. Forgiveness became a word constantly changing definitions and applications. Sort of like facebook. lol. Forgiveness; From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dr. Robert Enright from the University of Wisconsin–Madison founded the International Forgiveness Institute and is considered the initiator of forgiveness studies. He developed a 20-Step Process Model of Forgiveness. Recent work has focused on what kind of person is more likely to be forgiving. A longitudinal study showed that people who were generally more neurotic, angry and hostile in life were less likely to forgive another person even after a long time had passed. Specifically these people were more likely to still avoid their transgressor and want to enact revenge upon them four and a half years after the transgression.
Studies show that people who forgive are happier and healthier than those who hold resentments. The first study to look at how forgiveness improves physical health discovered that when people think about forgiving an offender it leads to improved functioning in their cardiovascular and nervous systems. Another study at the University of Wisconsin found the more forgiving people were, the less they suffered from a wide range of illnesses. The less forgiving people reported a greater number of health problems.
The research of Dr. Fred Luskin of Stanford University shows that forgiveness can be learned. In three separate studies, including one with Catholics and Protestants from Northern Ireland whose family members were murdered in the political violence, he found that people who are taught how to forgive become less angry, feel less hurt, are more optimistic, become more forgiving in a variety of situations, and become more compassionate and self-confident. His studies show a reduction in experience of stress, physical manifestations of stress, and an increase in vitality.
Its astonishing to realize that most of our words are derived from experience then interpreted by an unrelated character preperceiving & falsely comparing. How many times or words does it take to say "hello" well let's explore hi, good day, 'morning, wassup, buenos dias, just a few. But who the heck was webster that we all identify his findings as gospel? I keep finding repetition and cancelling of context by formation of grouped words evolving a particular subject.
Anyhoo this piece was written ignited by my flesh's desire to vinidicate itself for a wrong issued by many on the network system facebook. However, After My Spiritual Spanking I relinquish my quest for exposing another's faults to Recognize My own & Meditate With GOD'S WORD Until It Transforms My Thoughts To Align With GOD'S. Flesh is not just a word it's Your virtual reality because Your Physical Reality is that CHRIST DIED AND ROSE FROM THE dead to FREE Us from the burden of sin, guilt & misinterpretation. HE LIVED the life We complain about pre-facebook, myspace or blackberry phones. He ENDURED insult, persecution, riddicule, shame and death for Our RECONCILIATION TO Our CREATOR & FATHER BY ADOPTION & Belief IN JESUS THE CHRIST. Be Blessed All & Watch as Well as Pray
