The Power Of The Son

    So this phrase keeps rolling through my head. The power of the son.

It brings me multiple thoughts. Like how 'son' could be interchanged with 'sun'. And how very much like the sun, the son is... Bright... powerful... with the ability to shine the light for ALL to see clearly.

And it amazes me how Jesus, The SON of GOD also shines a bright powerful light to light up the darkness so all is seen clearly. Sorta like what is happening in the world today.

I love it! It's going to make a great movie some day! 

But 'the thing' is actually different from all these thoughts. 

Here's the story...

A few weeks ago my x step son showed up here. Now, he was 15 when I married his dad, and he is now 44. I was surprised to see him. He was looking for a place to stay. And I told him there was no room. And there's really not. All the bedrooms are filled and we have turned the back room into a living room again, after my daughter and her crew moved out of it. They were all sleeping back there. We now have a new couch back there and we decided we didn't want anyone sleeping on it. 

He took it pretty good and said "well thanks anyways." and left. You see...

He had recently gotten out of prison. Alcohol and anger issues and driving drunk got him there. And he hasn't been a very good person, I just didn't feel like I could handle all the drama and problems.

I didn't really give it much thought, I did love and care about him, but I guess I wasn't very confident in my ability to show that love and care at that time. I have been feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. 

So... a few days later, guess who calls me...  nope... not his dad, but MY son!

This is where the origin of the power of the son hit me!

So he tells me that my step son walked over 2 hours for a 10 minute meeting with his boss for a job! The boss was so impressed he got hired! Wha??? And my son goes on to say, "He has changed, I know he used to be a not so good person but he's really different! 

And here is the power of the son... he says... "I think you should try to make room for him, I would but my wife doesn't want him here. I know he won't let you down, and he can help with money to pay the debt." I pause. To think. And I quickly checked with the other people living here and they all said OK. So I said, well I guess we can set up a cot either in the living room or the dining room, or even the front hall. Which the hall would be my personal choice cause it can be shut off by doors to give some privacy.

That day, I had to take my son to the Dr. before work and I dropped him off after the appointment. Here is the first sign of change... my step son happened to be at the big doors when we pulled up... I saw him smile and wave and take 1 step towards me and instantly checked himself and went straight back to work, instead of coming over to see me. I was impressed! 

And here is what followed...

A couple days after he got set up in the front hallway, I noticed something. He was always talking about the Lord... I LOVE that when people start preachin' to me! And he was! What it was, was while he was in prison, he found Jesus!  I mean, he REALLY did find Jesus, not some of that fun and game crap that some people do. I mean this kid... he has it down! He has GOD within him! He is still a babe in Christ, but friends... this is the real deal! And how very appropriate and positively awesomely amazing to see it with my own eyes.

And this is what its all about Folks, GOD didn't send Jesus to save the world... the world is a wonderful place, men errrr, people have created some mighty wonderous things to be amazed at! The world does not need to be saved... no... Jesus came to save the fallen, the downtrodden... the lost.

Ha, years ago I watched as his blood father went after him with a knife and ended up cutting his own self... I knew then, GOD was in control and watching over the kid. 

And yes, I did tell his dad... see, ya went out with bloody intent and it came back to bite ya.

Well to this day his dad doesn't have anything to do with him. His whole family has written him off. His mother passed in April. Ya know... I am glad that GOD used my son to give me a change of heart.

Its sorta how Jesus makes intercession with The Father...

To save a lost soul. For the son knows... the heart of his brother.

So the days have been good, if not challenging me to keep up! 

But there is calm... there is PEACE and there is LOVE!

I have good close relationships with my kids... I can't imagine some people turning their backs on their kids... even in the hardest of times... I am just glad that GOD gave me that sort of LOVE to share. And I am thankful for Jesus for showing us the way to GOD The Father, through the Holy Ghost that comes to live inside a person who seeks the spirit of GOD.

And I am Thankful to GOD for giving me this job to do... 

And my heart is glad...

GOD Bless US, Everyone! IJCNA

MisUnderstandings And MisInterpretations

 I don't know where exactly I'm going here today, but I know and pray the Lord will lead me into the right words!

AMEN

I feel like misunderstandings are the WORST!

There have been so many bad consequences put out simply because someone misunderstood something. I have had this happen in my life a few times and I always feel like a fool when I discover that I got it wrong in the first place by either not hearing right or not taking the time to re-examine what I actually heard. I can tell you now that I take extra care to understand these days!

I can see it so much in our system. I can't really think of a better word for it because in our world its people who 'pretend to be good' who are the problem. If you have ever known someone who always thinks their right... never admits to a screw-up, they're probably hiding something.

Now the problem for US (US meaning all of US, not just the United States)... is... the promises of the devil always, always sound better than they actually are. Because Satan loves it when he can bull-shit you! And tell you something that you will believe and then laugh later when you find out the truth and find out you'd been sucker punched.

This is why it is so important to GOD to catch you all before you get sucker punched.

Remember that this is GOD, The culmination of all the saints and sinners that have ever lived and died, who have knowledge to help! Now these are all the people in your blood line from the past who have gone before you. Souls who care about you! And have joined together with other souls to make... a pretty powerful entity. When you don't acknowledge GOD, you cut off the voice of everyone of the good souls who are trying to help lead and guide you! If you don't listen they do get tired of talking to air... except maybe 1 or 2 who spend their time constantly praying 4U! Like a mom or dad.

     And The Lord showed me the evil ones, who pretend to be good, who smile in your face while their buddy is stabbing you in your back. I see the ones who think their all that, thinking their going to get something special but in actuality they will just get stabbed in the back by the evil ones above them.

When will people learn? I'm wondering.

But feeling like some never will.  And things will only change for them when the ones who are corrupt die. And I know this will happen. Evil people do eventually die. Some horribly.

But we don't have to wait that long to see. 

Because what is different now is WE ARE A SMART PEOPLE!

We are not stupid and uneducated. We in the USA will be the ones to slay the dragon (with the help of other countries)! By standing up for what we know is good and right and true! We have done it many times before! You can even see the trend now as the bad people are caught and get their comeuppance. Because we know that 'there is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed'... The truth always comes out. lol... because good people who see the evil, can promise not to tell.. but for a guilty conscience when it comes down to it, they will have a testimony!

And WE are a GOOD PEOPLE!

All of US... around the world, no matter what color or creed or doctrine or tradition, WE all know the difference between a lie and truth. It's not hard to see. And for a person to lie they have to know in their hearts its not the truth... it didn't happen that way. We as A PEOPLE are not stupid!

Which is seriously funny to me because us being stupid is what the devil counts on. 

For every step that evil makes, in the footsteps of a person, cause we know spirits are nothing without a body to work for them... there are several more who will stand up against them. I see it a lot! Especially now when everyone has a fast camera in their hand!

Isn't it IRONIC?

And we DO have specialists who can tell if its a fake video.

HAHAHA can't win there either!

It's called misinterpretation when someone alters a video. Misinterpretations are suffered a lot. And usually this is someone who has had a misunderstanding of their own.

Its very complicated. And easy to believe and repeat something not understood correctly. I believe that's why school is so good! It usually catches misunderstandings through tests. We at least hope so.

People with the most education are really gonna catch it, if its wrong. Well, of course its a different story if the teacher is corrupt and misleads with their opinion on purpose. 

As for me... I am small potato next to some other huge potatoes... and I can sit and see them in action doing GODS work! They know if they don't speak out loud enough they could be silenced!

You know, speaking of that. I feel like I was silenced long time ago. I remember here I was going really high with my numbers... now I am averaging 400 people a month. Which I do thank GOD for, but I see where it says that this page is not secure. I'm not sure what that means. This page is like an open journal for me. As I was told long ago by mental health workers to keep a journal. At first I kept it on my computer, but then I learned the hard way that computers crash and I lost all that I had written. That is why I came here as an online journal. It has never crashed in all the years I have been here. 

But if someone could explain this to me, I do get the gee mail instantly. You know as motherpope. I know that with the big business they are watching me. I mean this blog has been read in 115 countries and several countries a week. And I am so grateful for that. I feel like GOD want's me to keep going for some reason. And I am hoping it is because smart people around the world are also fighting against corruption in high places. 

Well one thing is for sure, its gonna make the most recent greatest story ever told! People will be reading about this, this last serious battle against good and evil that we are seeing being played out today... yes, the final battle is happening now! It's playing out now in our media and when our media finally get it right and defy their corrupt people with the powers that be... WOW... we'll really see the TRUTH of the battle play out to watch and all others in the far future will only get to read about it or watch the movies that others will make to portray it! 

I laugh now at the evil ones who will soon be brought down, in the name of Jesus!

But for now... I will say...

GOD Bless US Everyone IJCNA

Seeing 'The Wizard Of OZ' Through Spiritual Eyes

 My disabled friends first words to me this morning were "I'm gonna watch The Wizard Of Oz, you want to watch it with me?" ... "Oh yes!" I replied! 

I've seen this movie more times than I can count, but its been a long time since I've seen it last. So we started it. And as I started watching it The Lord begin to show me the movie through spiritual eyes and told me that the writers never knew the depth of the message they gave.

At the beginning we are in the world... showing both kind people and the evil person... Ms. Gulch. It showed us how some people care and some people don't. 

Boy was I mad at Ms. Gulch for even wanting to hurt Toto... and in turn hurt Dorothy. But I loved to see that in his peril, Toto managed to escape the clutches of this evil woman! That's how GOD works guys! Simply and thoroughly! 

I loved the transition from the world to the wonderous...

Beautiful, lovely place... within.

Oh and the spectacular view! 

Seeing the good witch was like seeing the greatest Saint to be had... there are many many great saints I have seen and read or heard about! And I instantly loved her.. oh and started to cry knowing that the Good Lady was there to lead and guide Dorothy to the right way, the way that was GOOD for her! And the way she did it was perfect! As she placed the ruby slippers on Dorothy's feet she instantly gave power to Dorothy... herself... sorta like GOD gives us the Holy Ghost that lives with us and is always there to take us home... To The ONE... as we walk in the shoes of the SPIRIT!

The characters she met on the way spoke to me like the 3 wise men... or even the trilogy of GOD! Representing Wisdom and Soul... and the Courage to fight the good fight of faith... for our battle is not with flesh and blood, but all about fighting for our morals and standard and principals we have tried to teach our children since... well as long as I can remember.

(BTW... this is what is going on in the world today. More on that in another blog.)

The perils of this group were very much like our own struggle down our own path. Doesn't matter which sort of person you are. What I mean is, no matter what your labels, GOD loves you and will always lead and guide you to a beautiful, wonderful happy place! 

I know you see a lot of people in the world who are not in a good and happy place. But you must remember. If you don't believe... if you are not with GOD... GOD is not with you! However, GOD might help you simply because whose blood you are. You Know? Like HIS promise to a certain PEOPLE. There are some people blessed like that. 

But GOD, being the gentleman that HE IS, will not impose HIMSELF on you. HE waits until HE is invited in. Not like that sneaky evil one who slips in when you are unaware.

So all the struggles that Dorothy's group struggled through, you see the GOOD spirit always watched over her and her crew.  (Remember the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband. That's how it truly works.) So just as The GOOD Spirit is helping Dorothy, IT is also helping the others!

Even when the evil one puts drugs in front of you.. the goodness of GOD gets you through it! Unless of course you have no faith. Then.. I'm just not sure how or if you'll make it.

So they finally get to OZ... to apply for the gifts they thought they needed. But was told to go and do a specific good deed. Which was good because in doing the good deed they stomped out evil. And the people were HAPPY because they were no longer a slave to evil!

Now we know that OZ was a man... with really a lot of power and assets and knowledge. And He as a man... taught them that what they were seeking was within themselves all along, they just need to be justified and helped to get to a better place. And of course they were... and then the old man went away... just like all old folk do. And left the young ones in charge to lead the PEOPLE!

 I think I loved it the most when Dorothy woke and realized that everything that gave her JOY was right there where she was... with people who loved her and knowing she's in the best place ever to be!

Oh and I asked GOD... but isn't the wicked woman who wanted to take Toto away from Dorothy going to come back? And GOD said... "No, she died in the storm!"

And of course I was crying big tears by this time. And knew in my heart I wanted to come and write about my feelings. I mean after all that's what I started this blog for in the first place. To write about what I feel. Not so much about what I think. Smile If Ya LOVE Jesus!

GOD Bless US Everyone! IJCNA 

An Angel Came To Visit

 Wow, I can hardly believe it! But its all true!

If y'all have been reading my posts I did ask for financial help. It was a while back. There was no response but it might of been they don't take payments that way. But not to long ago I received a late tax bill of 1400. and freaked because they were going to charge 15% interest! I did panic!

I am 61 year old grandmother and I do work. I make 8.8$ an hour at 32 hours a week. I don't make much money so its really hard to cover everything. You see my sister was living here and helped me do some home repairs and she was paying them but she died and it all fell on me. Now, I do have 2 close friends who bring me food on a regular basis. Thank GOD for that! I could apply for food help but, I feel embarrassed. I choose to eat lots of beans and other peoples left overs.

So I was really hurting and I got this thought of appealing privately to my friends on the book for help and I offered some of my old treasures... a beautiful Mexican dancing outfit, shirt... colorful sequined  skirt and blue sequined shoes that tied up the leg with ribbons, for the taxes... and 3 nestled ashtrays from Royal Haeger for the gutters and under eves... and 2 sets of china from Southern Pacific Railroad for the doors and windows. I never got any response there either. Which shows you not even my friends or family will help. Really sad about that. I did get a call from a very close friend worried about me, but she is retired and is lucky to get the little amount that she gets. I told her I was handling it, but just paying the minimum payments. In fact she is one of those friends who brings me food.

So time went on... and yesterday on old friend of mine showed up. I'll call her Ms. A. She's not on the book so she didn't see the post. So she had gone to visit a mutual friend who I'll call Ms. P... who is on the book and she told her about my problem. Ms. P is also a widow on disability and unable to help. But let me say this woman is so smart with natural knowledge that if you have any problem she knows the answer! I do call her when I need info on anything... health, antiques... the treatment of vinyl records... I could never give her enough credit for her wisdom. Oh yes, she has GODLY wisdom also! 

But most of my friends do. 

So Ms. A said to me, "Hey Ms. P was telling me about a post you made, hang on I gotta get a cigarette." I laughed nervously, "Oh yeah."  I knew what it was about and told her about my situation.

Now this lady has worked in a Law office for years and had lost her job, during the pandemic and was collecting unemployment and I was worried about HER financially... she has for years given all she had to her 'ungrateful kids' (her words not mine, I've never met them) and she has often spent time crying with me and we would pray and I would uplift her as well as GOD instructed me to. You see, she is a beautiful lady... inside and out. People have used and abused her ... her X husband, her brother... her sis in law... a couple boyfriends... but mostly her kids hurt her the worst emotionally. She has every right to be in pain. But she is strong in the Lord and GOD has always caught her when she would fall. I'm telling you GOD LOVES this Lady!

So when I finished telling Ms. A  my sad story she said "I want to help you".  What? I looked at her... "Really?" She said "Yes" ... she asked if she could Zelle me money and WOW... I just happen to be able to be Zelled! She was getting in her car.. I started to cry... I mean I couldn't believe she was saying that! I mean she has given her kids everything. She rents a house, she does own her car. But honestly I was worried about her financially and she was saying she was going to help me! Now I became confused because let me say this... if Ms. A says something you better believe it to be true! I knew she wouldn't bullshit or joke about it! But... wiping my tears I told her to "be safe and I loved her"... I always say that to her, it wasn't about the promise of help. 

So when she got home she zelled me enough money to practically pay off the taxes! OMG... she did it!

I cried as I immediately sent it through e'pay to the county tax office! 

Here is our text!

Her: Hey girly Happy 4th. I'm in town and wanted to stop on my way home. If that's good for you.

Me: Yes that's a good plan.

Her: Thanks Sweetie.

          And then she showed up and all that... and then later at 9:59PM

Me: OMG! You really did it!!! Oh I pray GOD blesses you 100fold! I can hardly believe you did this for me! My home taxes! I'm sending it right now!

Her: GOD bless us All!

Me: OMG... I just sent it to the tax collector with tears streaming down my face! I have no words... But Thank you so much for helping me. No one ever has b4.

           And then this morning...

Me: How you doing? Any regrets? I feel so much relief. I praise GOD for the feeling. Here I was worried about you financially and you cared about me financially! I feel like words are so insufficient. Only GOD can understand and fix our lives for the good. You are angel sent from GOD! Please don't deny it cause I wonder if you really understand how much you helped. I pray GOD can show you and bless you 100 times over! I mean you didn't even hesitate at all! You just wanted to help! I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Her: You make me cry girl tears of joy I could do something to help someone who really appreciates it! Thank You Jesus! I love and admire you so much! You such a good Godly woman, so proud I am of you! 

Me: Well I'm crying tears too! Again! It's hard to realize you care THAT MUCH! That was GOD within you! HE told you and you helped! Wow! I will always remember! 

Her: Yes it was!

Me: I normally wouldn't accept help. But long ago the elders in the church said if you don't accept help you deny the helper of a blessing. Its a HUGE deal.

Her: Yes ma'am its hard to accept help but you didn't ask. I inquired. There is a difference.

Me: Yes I see!

Her: God moves in miraculous and mysterious ways! He is awesome! Amazing Grace! 

Me: AMEN Sista!

         Well I wanted to share this with y'all. It has inspired a new hope that this is just the beginning of a whole new world for me! I am still in a terrible way financially. Since my sister passed its been real hard. So I did post my story before so if you understand my situation and want to help you can email me at motherpope at either the Yahoo or gmail mail. and I will gladly send you 1 of my treasures for helping. 

I am praying for relief...

GOD Bless US Everyone! IJCNA
