upside down world

Someone gave a speech to the nation the other day (which I watched, so these are my own opinions). You know, a typical American political speech - dark red background, military men standing behind him, angry tone from start to finish with both fists up in the air, devoted to only one subject - dehumanizing his opposition.  He said during that speech and in the weeks prior to that speech that anyone supporting President Trump (meaning me!) was:

1. A threat to our Constitution

2. A threat to our Democracy

3. A fascist/nazi

4. An extremist

5. A traitor 

6. A domestic terrorist

7. An insurrectionist

8. A white surpremist

Wow! Never in my 72 years have I heard or seen a speech like that (except in newsreels).  Here I am, a white, church going believer in Jesus, who loves his country and hates corruption in government. I want an honest press, an internet that doesn't censor my views or restrict my access to information, free but fair elections, secure borders, an end to the killing of babies, the right to refuse being injected with something I have serious doubts about, the right to talk about and demonstrate against government corruption and the right to say positive things about President Trump and his policies without being shunned, attacked by trolls or told that I'm worshiping a man instead of God. 

But that is the world I am living in. The politician who says that I am a threat to the Constitution fears the guarantees of the 1st amendment giving me rights of religion, free speech, free press and open assembly.

The gathering at the Capitol of a couple of hundred thousand unarmed people in Washington on January 6 who believed with good cause that an election had been stolen came to support a possible legal option that Vice President Pence could refer the electoral college delegates back to the States for a limited period of time so the elections in certain states could be audited. As the crowd marched to the Capitol, families, ministers, grandmas, grandpas, vets, the vast majority being the heart and soul of middle America, sang religious and patriotic songs and came to show solidarity with President Trump and with the democratic process. They were exercising their basic 1st Amendment rights.

President Trump suggested before hand to Speaker Pelosi (it was her call) that National Guard be called up and stationed at the Capitol so there would not be any problems with the large crowd. Pelosi rejected the suggestion and also did nothing to beef up Capitol police forces. We now know that FBI and other government agents were actively involved with the small number of anarchists who arrived at the Capitol prior to the crowds to remove barriers, open doors, break into windows and encourage crowds (who had only come to stand outside) to enter into the Capitol building. Lies were then spread that 6 policemen had been killed by the rioters.

Someone wanted this to happen. Someone wanted to label this "an insurrection". Someone wanted to label their political opposition as extremists, traitors and homegrown terrorists (now known as the greatest threat to our democracy).        

Someone wanted to put in jail thousands of innocent protestors who had opposing political views, waive their 5th Amendment rights of due process and 6th Amendment rights to confront opposing witnesses and to have a lawyer. Hundreds of people without any prior criminal records were arrested, thrown into filthy prisons, asked to sign false statements, put into solitary confinement and denied the right to make any public comments on their case. Many are now still in prison. The FBI has a list of a thousand more they are looking at. Others who were at Washington that day have been tagged on a watch list and cannot fly without being pulled aside. This is America today.

The politician who says that I am a threat to the Constitution fears my 2nd amendment right to bear arms and then mocks me this week by saying what I really need if I'm worried about government abusing my rights is an F-15.

The politician who says I am a threat to the Constitution can for political reasons have the FBI violate my 4th amendment rights of not having an illegal search and seizure by sending a swat team to knock on my door in the middle of the night, haul me outside in my underwear without first showing me a warrant and then take my cell phone and computers to obtain any information they want.

The politician who says I am a threat to Democracy and to the Constitution can violate Congressional rules by forming a select committee without participation by minority leadership as required to investigate January 6. In this "investigation" there has been select editing and misrepresenting of the facts, no presentation from the other side, no opposition to anything presented and 5th Amendment right of due process and no 6th Amendment right for President Trump to have attorneys or to confront his opponents. Political opponents have been subpoenaed without their 5th and 6th Amendment rights and threatened with jail if they refuse to cooperate.

The politician who says I am a threat to Democracy and the Constitution can send the FBI to invade Presidents Trump's home and seize documents under a pretext so lame and twisted it would make a pretzel blush. And the mustard on top is that everything we are allowed to see is heavily redacted because the government/FBI, insists on it. 

Now in a true "Democracy" there would not be a government press who would stay silent about all of this or who exhibits zero curiosity about any wrong doing from a certain party or who actively pushes the agenda of a single party. There would not be an internet that fact checks, demontizes, bans posts, tweets, videos and internet searches about certain subjects, such as a certain election, a certain laptop, a certain virus, a certain insurrection, a certain mental incapacity, financial deals between a certain family and a certain Asian country and a certain Ukrainian politician. You would almost think that Orange Man bad 24/7 for 6 years straight was a strategy planned and directed on a daily basis by certain people who have control of the government press.

Someone gave a speech to the nation the other day. The powers behind the someone fear the Constitution because they fear you and me. They want total control but our God given freedoms and divinely inspired rights get in their way. Those with me and you are way more than those with them. That is why they cannot allow any proof of their cheating in the last elections to come to light. That is why they continue to implement ways to cheat. That is why they call us fascists, traitors, terrorists, extremists, insurrectionists and the greatest threat to the soul of this nation.

Here is a poem I wrote after the speech.

  

The rantings of a man gone mad

well, maybe just demented

his grasp of facts was rather sad

all truth got circumvented

The lectern's framing - dark - and red

two soldiers in it's shadow

his wife led in a man half dead

just given an espresso

He coughed to clear his muddled mind

then barked and pounded sand

that we were Fascist of some kind

(though he wore the armband)

A doctor led him from the stage

his days expire soon

he'll miss the dawning of an age

when light will flood the room

Can Yoga Be A Christian Activity?

Abstain from every form of evil (I Thessalonians 5:22)

Idol: 1 - an object of extreme devotion - 2 - a representation or symbol of an object of worship (Merriman-Webster)

Idols are representations of evil spirits. Evil Spirits reside in idols, not just for the opportunity to be worshiped but also because it gives them access and PERMISSION to demonize those that come to worship before those idols. 

Evil spirits are the power behind all occult power. Expressing interest in anything associated with the occult gives evil spirits access and PERMISSION to demonize those that do so.

Examples of things that attract evil spirits that want to demonize us are horror movies, movies representing the occult, certain types of music, books or games promoting witchcraft or other occult activity, objects used to obtain information through the spirit realm (ouija boards, horoscopes, crystals etc.) or objects that were dedicated to evil spirits or were even just in the presence of evil spirit activity. All likely will have evil spirits close by and our participation will have given them access and PERMISSION to demonize us.

Demonized does not mean possessed. But it does mean there are certain areas of soul and body that evil spirits will attack and grab onto because a person (usually without their knowledge) has given evil spirits a LEGAL RIGHT to do so. This is true for Christians as well. Evil spirits can affect a person's physical and mental health. I am also convinced that a Christian who has been demonized has also suffered greatly in their ability to be able to discern the activity of evil spirits in them as well as their ability to be able to discern the leading of the Holy Spirit for their lives. 

Which leads us to the subject of Yoga. Is it possible for yoga to be a Christian activity? Can someone use traditional yoga exercises and positions and substitute Christian meanings and meditations so as to not attract evil spirits and give them PERMISSION to demonize?

Let's think this through. Is there anything wrong with taking time to engage in different types of stretching or to learn to control one's breathing or to release to God any pent up anger, frustration or unforgiveness?  I would say no. Those are all good things which will give glory to God and will benefit a person physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Is this what yoga does or is that even what Christian yoga does? Well, my first question would be - Why is "yoga" which describes an occult activity, in the description? And my next would be - Does Christian yoga use any of the same body positions, vocabulary, chants and hand positions as does traditional yoga and does it direct people to empty their minds in the same way traditional yoga does?

Yoga is part and parcel with the Hindu religion which recognizes 330 million gods, all of which are representations of a hierarchy of evil spirits, weak to powerful. Each position in yoga, body, hand, as well as words spoken, represents and thus worships a different Hindu deity and there are spiritual reasons why each position or word are done or said in a certain way. Evil spirits will be attracted to places where traditional yoga forms are practiced and people who participate in those forms are (even without their knowledge) giving those evil spirits PERMISSION and a LEGAL RIGHT to demonize them.

The underlying principle yoga is based on is an anti Christian idea that there is spiritual energy at the base of a person's spine and through yoga exercises that energy travels up the spine and is released through certain specific spots in the body. A key aspect in yoga is at the end where a person either sits or lays in the "dead body" position and then opens their mind to where ever those spiritual forces will lead (or what the yoga master might suggest). Frankly, this is an invitation for spiritual deception. Indeed, a person's body and mind may feel relaxed and refreshed right after doing yoga but they have carved out a tiny hole in their soul where an unholy seed has been planted.

God's way for man to operate in the spiritual is totally different. And God is a jealous God. He does not want there to be any false gods before Him and He does not want us to entertain any evil spirits. Instead by the shed blood of Jesus He has given us authority over all unclean spirits.

My prayer (if you currently are or have in the past been involved with yoga) is that the Holy Spirit will open your eyes and guide you to what is true and will then show you how to repent and how to renounce your activity in it. If you're not sure you agree with what I've written at least take some time and have an honest conversation with God, search the Word and tell Him you only want to know what is true and that you are willing to change if you have been deceived. 

Repenting and renouncing are key factors in taking away the legal rights of evil spirits to have a hold on you. But you may also need to take other actions to be truly set free. Find a book which talks about deliverance from evil spirits. They usually have a section for the reader which will lead you through areas to confess and the steps needed to be set free. If after doing that you still sense there are more evil spirits around then find a Christian friend or minister with wisdom who understands the spirit world so they can walk you through anything else needed to set you free.

And, if reading this essay has caused you to get very angry - that's a good sign you are probably demonized. 

   

Resetting The Great Reset

If I shut up the heavens so there is no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people, and my people who are called by my name - humble themselves - and pray - and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. II Chronicles 7:13-14

What if you found out that Covid 19 was created in a lab in China, funding to do so was provided by the United States, and people working with the CCP had it intentionally released in China during their New Year's knowing that it would then spread to the West for a 4 fold purpose?

1. Kill and sicken a lot of people.

2. Harm national economies.

3. Enable governments to lock down and control populations.

4. Discourage in person voting in order to utilize mail-in-ballot cheating.

What if you found out that the same people also developed other deadly diseases for the same purposes and have or will if given the chance release them before the midterm elections?

What if you found out that the same people have plans to remake societies and reduce world populations through diseases, wars, famines, abortions, drugs, vaccines and a multitude of other means? 

What if you found out that cyber warfare was conducted against our election system during the 2020 elections (and before) using programming originally developed by the CIA for foreign election interference and that IP addresses were traced back to China, Italy, Pakistan, Iran and other countries?

What if you found out that entry into the Capitol building and riots of January 6 were planned by prominent people in government who want to silence and eliminate all future opposition?

What if you found out that Antifa and BLM riots were financed from abroad as well as domestically?

What if you found out that the training, rise and advancement of a certain American politician was financed by both domestic and foreign entities who wanted to use him to weaken American prominence in the world in order to create their ideal of a one world government, ultimately controlled by them?

What if you found out that same former politician is actually still calling the shots for his party and that he has much grander visions for himself?

What if you found out there was a blueprint many years in the making for implementing (among others) the goals below?

1. Control Academia to influence the thoughts of each generation.

2. Use the platform of Arts and Entertainment to do the same.

3. Neuter the influence of the Church and marginalize Christians.

4. Destabilize society by redefining Family and by eliminating traditional moral values.

5. Destabilize society by redefining language and rewriting history.

6. Destabilize society by stoking racial tensions and creating grievance groups. 

7. Elect/appoint judges who will do what they are told.

8. Elect Secretary of State and Attorney General officials in order to control elections.

9. Elect District Attorneys in large cities to weaken the rule of law in order to destabilize society.

10. Control Politicians through financial incentives and compromise as many as possible using sex, drugs and threats against family, business and friends.

11. Own and control the press in order to influence public opinion. This includes newspapers and magazines, network news, cable news, popular internet platforms and fact checkers who will censor or mock any opposing viewpoints.

12. Place people of like mind into all areas of government bureaucracy.

13. Place people of like mind into leadership positions in the justice system, including FBI, CIA, and DOJ.

14. Place people of like mind into leadership positions in the Military in order to weaken the Military.

15. Create a cashless economy to better control and monitor all financial transactions.

16. Monitor the movement and communications of the entire population.

17. Eliminate any opposition by altering and getting rid of our basic principle of Free Speech.

18. Eliminate any opposition by disarming the population.

19. Increase the size of Government and make people dependent on Government spending and handouts.

20. Increase the availability and use of drugs to reduce, weaken and neuter the population.

21. Create Open Borders in order to redefine National Identify.

22. Submit the U.S. to International Courts and International Regulatory Agencies. 

What if you found out there are rich, powerful and influential people who actually worship Lucifer, make blood sacrifices to him, traffic in young human lives and who believe that the time is near for the Antichrist to appear and that they will rule with him at the top of the food chain in a new one world government?

What if you found out that some politicians or judges you thought were good guys (or women) were actually not on the side you thought they were?

If you have not figured out the above already then what are you going to do when it all comes to light, your world turns upside down and you find out the depth of the evil being practiced and the extent to which you've been lied to? I've always wondered how otherwise smart and good people could be so blind as to line up to receive the mark of the beast. But the last few years have shown me how easy it will be.

The good news is that this is not yet God's appointed time for the judgment of God upon this nation, the rapture of the Church and the arrival of the Antichrist. It appears God has heard the humble appeals to heaven of millions of believers. This will be instead a God ordained time to push back the evil agenda, to pour out His glory and salvation to multiple hundreds of millions of people, to call the prodigals home, to renew, reform and restore America to its Christian roots and to separate the sheep and the goat nations.

All that has been taken away will be restored.

Satan had an announced timeline for 2030. The election of 2016 set back that timeline. In order to secure the 2020 election the enemies of this country made many mistakes which people noticed and which opened the door to finding out how our elections have been manipulated and how the Deep State controls the media, both political parties and the intelligence community. The 2020 election steal was actually a gift of God because many bad actors are now known and whistle blowers and moles have come forward and provided plans, documents, audio and video evidence that will be used to bring forth justice. 

Speaking from the viewpoint of an intercessor I know that the battle for this time has already been won against the evil spiritual principalities and powers over this country. Satan has lost his command and control structure in the air. We are now at a point where the enemy suspects it will be defeated and is throwing out everything it can to hold ground. The days ahead will be interesting with much prayer and action still needed, but our victory is assured. 

God has heard from heaven. He will forgive the sins of this nation and of all who sincerely call upon Him. He will heal our land and the lands of other countries who have also humbled themselves and prayed. Wait for it. It will not be long. God is about to do the unexpected. To Him be the glory!

   

   

Life

Last Friday was a good day. A day I had longed, hoped and prayed for but was never sure I would actually see. A day marking a major victory against dark principalities and powers in the high places over this country.

Early June of this year Jackie and I celebrated being married for fifty years. When we met both of us came from Catholic families but she had a relationship with Jesus and I was an atheist. It had been my plan to avoid having any arguments about politics or religion but here it was several months after our wedding and we were having a Sunday dinner with her mom, dad, nine brothers and sisters and a couple of brothers-in-law.

When dinner was over and everybody was sitting around the table a couple of Jackie's cousins dropped by. Their mom was very involved in the Right To Life group in Kalamazoo and they had just finished helping her stuff some mailers. So the discussion around the table became about abortion and then switched to religion. It was Jackie's oldest brother (the other atheist) and me against the crowd and it began to get a little heated. Jackie of course had been praying for me and now she was screaming to God in her prayer - "What are you doing?"

Well, it turns out God does know what He is doing and this argument turned out to be a catalyst for my surrendering my life to Jesus and being filled with His Holy Spirit a few months later at the end of November that year. The following January the Supreme Court ruled on Roe Verses Wade and the evil of killing a human life while still in the womb has been heavy on my heart ever since.

In fact for me, someone who majored in Political Science and minored in History, a candidate's stance on the life and rights of the unborn and their willingness to fight for those lives and rights outweighs everything else when I consider whom to vote for, including economics. I believe that if we stand firm on this God will give us guidance and clarity on other issues and will even bless our stupidity when we miss the mark.

So much about following the will of God revolves around core principles. The core principle here is that inside a pregnant woman is a unique individual who has a growing body with a soul and a spirit. That child already has a God given destiny that awaits him or her in time. It matters not how that child is conceived or if indeed it is even wanted by the parent. In life there are struggles and tragedies but God is loving and He longs to pour out His love and healing to all: mother, child, family and community.

The Supreme Court ruling reverses a gigantic self imposed curse over our nation which will greatly weaken the spiritual forces that are trying to destroy this land. The blood sacrifices they desire are starting to end and now the battle can be waged State by State. Watch now for great moves of the Holy Spirit which will transform what are known as the seven mountains of influence: Church, Family, Academia, Government, Media, Business and Finance, Arts and Entertainment.

For over 49 years I have been standing on the ramparts, ready to call out the advance of the enemy or the coming of the great King. For over 49 years I have laid before my Lord the bodies, souls and spirits of many prodigals who walk in the wisdom of this world but do not have a relationship with the one who made us in love. It has been 49 years of seeing many lives wonderfully changed but also seeing the world devolve into the stupidity of the wisdom of this age. Friday was a good day.

 

Scams

Scams you have been led to believe by a lot of supposedly smart people.

Space Aliens and UFO's. In fact, physics places severe limitations on the time and speed needed for any objects that have mass. Travel between stars with planets that could sustain life would take many thousands of years. I don't doubt UFO's but they are not piloted by aliens from other planets.

Life began in a primordial sea. You have been taught that the beginning of life was due to the right chemistry and that complexity evolved through random mutations over time. In fact, life requires an extreme amount of information on many levels which has not and logically could not self organize.  Mutations are always regressive, i.e. the loss of information and there is no logic for development of more complex information over time without immediate benefit.

Variety in species is proof of evolution. In fact, species react to their environment by utilizing information already present for minor changes without adding complexity and can do so only as far as that information allows.

An unborn baby is not a unique human life until it is delivered and unless it is wanted. In fact, once a woman's egg has been fertilized a new human life has begun. It has all the information it will need to develop into a special person with a special destiny, no matter how he or she was conceived and how much he or she is desired. 

Carbon emissions are bad for the environment, less carbon consumption will reduce global temperatures and rates that sea levels rise but will increase severity of weather. In fact, carbon is food plants eat and need. More carbon will equal more and healthier vegetation thus allowing more people to be fed. Fossil fuel consumption has been the key factor in bringing a large portion of the world's population out of poverty. Man released carbon is only a minor fraction of total air born carbon and its total elimination will only have a tiny effect on temperatures. Sea levels have risen at the same rate since we started measuring them and historically there has been more severe weather events during periods of colder temperatures.

All people are basically good so Utopia can be achieved through the leadership of an enlightened leader or leaders and a managerial class who control production, distribution and the education of the masses. In fact, a government needs checks and balances on its ruling class precisely because all men are basically selfish and will, without the desire to follow the will of God, ultimately be deceived into following the will of Satan.

What are the practical results of those scams? The prospect of a Designer and a Creator has as its logical conclusion that God has a will for every person, that our lives are not really our own and that Designer and Creator should be worshiped and obeyed. But even the most intelligent of us have this great desire to be the lord of our own lives. This blinds many to what is obvious and leads others to the deception of false gods that can be satisfied with works and religious acts.

Satan wants to deceive us about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He wants individuals, families, people groups and the population of countries to be controlled by his servants and he does that by offering the illusion of a life that would be better by doing and being the opposite of what God desires for us. He ultimately operates through pride, fear and intimidation and the fruits of his rule is always suffering and death, even for the elite.

So the next time you hear about spending billions to find water on Mars so we can better understand how life began, or are told that climate change will lead to the destruction of mankind so we must eliminate fossil fuels, or that overturning Roe V Wade is anti woman, or read that aliens are probing our private parts, or are asked to vote for people who cannot define what a woman is and see the Constitution as an impediment to progress, just step back and think about why this is happening and who is benefiting from it.
