Why We Need GOD

GOD knew that people loved and worshiped 'things'' an 'other people'. 

How could we make GOD 'our god' if we didn't know any better?

We do know better!

When we think about other people more than we think about our self, we follow GODS will. 

Over time GOD has wanted us not to be arrogant and not be narcists. Life is full of things that are wonderful and Holy. What makes them holy is they promote LOVE and LIFE.

Some people live in a world where it's OK to sin. Some parts of the world promote sin. Sin is big business. Some men want to explain it away. But that is where GOD is the same forever and always has been. Against unholy actions.

One of the sins of the world is, 'adultery'. GOD saw early on, that life is best when a man is the husband of one wife. And nature even tells us it's not a good thing, by the way a woman responds when she finds out her husband has been cheating. WOW... it HURTS to say the least! Even some men who find out their wife has cheated... they kill her or kill them both, or they make life hell in other ways. 

So, this is why GOD says don't do it. You will hurt another person who is supposed to be a part of you! Some men fix this problem by being allowed to marry more than one woman. Other men have no concept of it being a sin and they just go have girlfriends. Well, they must know it's wrong because they know to 'hide it' from most other people. Others don't.

Another sin is gluttony. HA! In some places it is glorified! Worshipped even. We cater to people for their desire to eat. We tell a fat woman she is beautiful! And I guess if that's what you like. But for most being fat is like a side show attraction. When we see a hugely fat person, our eyes get big, and we thank GOD that's not us. And the most important point is, we KNOW being fat is unhealthy! Being fat can bring on an early death. That is why gluttony is a sin. It does not promote LIFE. Gluttony is nothing but the LOVE of food. We shouldn't love food that much.

Another sin is homosexuality. Why do I have to be FORCED to accept this as normal? Why is this a sin? Because it does NOT support life! Same with another sin... abortion. Does not support life!

GODS desire for us is to have LIFE and have it more abundantly!

I find it hard to believe that some people choose not to believe in GOD when GOD is a label put on things that we love like, LIFE and LOVE and JOY.

Seems like some people are more into putting death and hate and pain into the world. 

What can we do about it? 

I guess we can do what Jesus wants us to do and put labels on everything in life and stay away from everything labeled under 'bad'. Yeah! Thats a great idea! So, when some say they are waiting for Jesus to come and make everything right, what they are actually saying is, they are waiting for everyone to come into agreement on what is good or bad... right or wrong... either or... and choose to live in a way that cares and thinks about others. 

Look, I am not wanting to condemn anyone here... I just want to live the life that is the best life I can! And good men have written about it since the beginning of time! So, I want to know what the best life is! And the best life is to have one spouse, don't smoke, don't have sex before marriage, don't lie, don't be jealous of other people's good fortune, don't overeat, and especially; Love the LOVE! 

GOD recorded these things through the hands of HIS PEOPLE because HE wanted you to know the difference between GOOD and BAD! HE wanted you to celebrate the goodness that life has to offer, and HE wanted you to be kind to other people because alas, they are humans too!

This is why we need GOD in our lives, to show our children that there are things more important than themselves and what they want. I promise if we brought GOD back in our world, we would have much better people in general running around! Less killing, less stealing.

I read an article the other day talking about traits of smart people. Well, I took an IQ test years ago, and my IQ was 123.  So, I guess I am a pretty smart person. You know what was one of the things that was said? That smart people are not very traditional. I guess that's why I tend to shake off the labels. But for most people in general, they are traditional people and its very good for them to go to church and serve a higher power!

GOD is REAL!

GOD is LOVE!

GOD is Wisdom!

GOD is a POWER for GOOD!

GOD Brings JOY and PASSION into our world!

GOD lives within the HEARTS and MINDS of HIS PEOPLE!

GOD Bless US Everyone! IJCNA

 

Hate, Not

 I am the sort of person who wakes up feeling good. I don't let shit bring me down. I have a safe home and family who love me... sometimes too much. But I take life in stride, and I feel so blessed with it. 

Sometimes when others are having a bad day, or they are letting things get to them and they are having a bad fit of sorts. I always ask, 'did Jesus teach us to be like that?' And I walk away and soon enough the Lord works in their heart and they get back in the mode of Jesus!

My grandfather said to me once, "Find GOD" I didn't understand it then, but the words resonated in my heart. Best advice I ever got! Because the wisdom of GOD can perfect your soul! And you will be soooo happy about it when it hits your brain! 

One of the wisest men in history, Socrates said, "An unexamined life is not worth living."

So, we know it is good to examine our actions. The consequences of this are a very good thing! When we have the wisdom of GOD, that is the wisdom of the ages... we are able to examine our actions to see if they are good or bad. We know that with the Holy Ghost, which is the spirit of GOD, we know in our hearts and minds what is good or bad. 

The devil depends so much on your ignorance of this. 

Something really sad is the fact that some people are being bad, and they don't even know that they are being bad. They are just emulating someone who did the same thing. 

This is why GOD wants us to emulate Jesus, the most perfect person of all time!

I love to see people I know emulating Christ! 

Today... we were talking about how we all have a parent who loved themselves more than they did us, their children. I believe I will suffer the rest of my life for my parents' choice of loving themselves more than they loved me. In my case both of my parents loved themselves the most. Now there's a natural disaster... divorce and fatherless children are the result of this action. We see it all day long in some people still. They didn't get that Bible learnin' in. One of the earliest lessons I learned at 6 years old came right after 'Jesus Loves Me'! It was this... 

GOD is 1st, my friends and family are 2nd, and I am 3rd. 

There's something special about being that 3rd person. 

Here is the theory. If your putting others first, they are putting you first and we all get the loving care we need. But these days, we have lost track of our senses and we have learned to put ourselves first. Why? 

I can tell you I have been told many times; you must put yourself first so you can care for others. But GODS way, you always have someone to care for you. GOD never meant for people to be alone in life. 

And if we are emulating Jesus...

I've seen to many people who have been selfish all their lives, always in a bad mood, tearing down others... nothing is ever good enough... I have noticed they always end up alone because people get tired of all that crap!

Will I always be bitter? 

I don't feel like I am being bitter as I have forgiven them for being selfish. But what remains is the pain of the suffering. I will always suffer for their sin. I will always hurt inside for the rest of my natural life. Because if they had put GOD first, they wouldn't have ended up hating each other.

And that leads me to my main thought... 

I was watching TV this morning; it was a news show. They were talking about racism. 

HUGE deal in the media, but I am seeing that in our daily lives it is not the case. I feal like we solved the race issue long ago. Some people keep dragging it out again. And to me, this is just the devil trying to put HATE back into our hearts, instead of having the LOVE of GOD in there. 

Don't listen to them. Don't allow the hate to consume you! Emulate Jesus, the one who taught us to LOVE and CARE and HELP each other in this life!

Lots of people are doing it! I can look almost anywhere and see the LOVE being shared, burdens being shared by those who care and can actually HELP!

This is again where Jesus comes to HELP US!

In my city, yesterday a son shot and killed his mother. Don't you know that had they had the LOVE of GOD with them, it wouldn't have happened? No one with the LOVE of GOD would ever harm another human being, unless of course they had to, to save their life or the life of the children.

This is why GOD will always reign true... 

GOD IS WITH US!

We have the wisdom of an entity who shares the knowledge for FREE!

It's not just for certain people... it's for you! It's for your brother and sister and cousin and parents. It's for your neighbors and your children and your coworkers. 

Can you imagine a workplace where there is peace and harmony?  If you have that, U R Blessed! Some people have to suffer haters on the job. I can't imagine the suffering of that! How terrible that would be. I am grateful I have never had to deal with that. What can solve this issue? Jesus! If that mean coworker shared the LOVE of Christ, there wouldn't be a problem.

Let's promote the SPIRIT of Jesus... where the fruit of the spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE.

Let's not promote the hate.

Do you want to know what keeps me going? What keeps me in a good mood? It's because I know that GOD will bring me to a better place! And honestly, I want the people I love in my life with me always! Yes, sometimes I want to go off by myself, but I know that one day I won't have to do that anymore, because in time we will have Jesus to lead and guide us! All will be kind and thoughtful!

GOD Bless US, Everyone! IJCNA

This Or That

 I was hoping GOD would give me a good blog today. 

Today, I am thinking about 'a this' and 'a that'...

I'm thinking about how crazy this world is.

How this way may work for one, but you need another way to work on another.

I'm guessing it goes along with the scheme of things. This person feels this way and another person feels another way. But both agree on basic life stuff. Like, being kind and considerate.

You see the biker dude being nice to the old lady?

You see the Lion laying down with the lamb?

What? You don't? Well, I do! And it reminds me of a time, where people learn to live in peace with one another. Oh yes, I can see with my spiritual eyes a place in time where the lion does lay down with the lamb and it's no big deal! It's like 'why fight?'  There's room for both the lion and the lamb.

Why are we fighting so much?

And The Lord says, because it is the evil one who has overcome so many people who were meant for something beautiful. But they fail to find the beauty in life because they are to busy looking at the dirty disgusting crap as something normal. Which is a shame because GOD doesn't want us to live like that. GOD has something much better planned out for us.

OK first of all, who is GOD?

GOD IS the culmination of all the saints and sinners who have ever lived and breathed and died. That little glitch that starts our heart and powers it throughout our lifetime is a small part of GOD. That little glitch or spark if you will, is what comes alive in us before we are even born and leaves us for various reasons along our lifetime. It is the thing, that when it leaves your body, it goes and joins the other sparks when it is able to fly away, not being limited to the fleshly body.

The reason I am going over this today is because I think the reason a lot of people don't believe in GOD is because they don't understand what and who GOD really is. It's sorta scary. But I believe all who have gone before us go there and are able to share memories!

In our life we have the choice on who to emulate.

Most people choose to emulate Jesus because he was the most perfect human being. Yeah, GOD made him to be that way, to set a good example for us and to show us the good results from doing good!

But we all know that devil, who is always jealous of the GOODNESS of GOD... its natural and we see it still happening every day. Sometimes the devil is a bully, sometimes he's sickly sweet. Sometimes he is a fright and sometimes he is beautiful, definitely a mystery. And we don't give credit to the devil because we can't see him, for he is a spirit and can only be seen through spiritual eyes. If you don't have spiritual eyes, you won't see him.

And why anyone would want to follow evil ideas is beyond me. I would make a guess tho... because it feeds their arrogance and pride? They think they can, so they do.

But I am here to tell you, there's some bad shit out there in the world that will bring you down in a heartbeat, because the devil doesn't want anyone to succeed. He didn't want GOD to succeed in Genisis, and he doesn't want any of GODs children to be successful, so he does his best to use any body willing to let him, tear another person down.

GOD wants us to be filled with beautiful, lovely things. It's like here, I never watch horror movies. I have in my life, and I choose not to because GOD told me to be careful what I put in my brain. So, Dee does watch horror movies every day and she always complains about bad thoughts and bad dreams. Do you see where I'm going here? I do love to watch sci-fi when I can, and I have some really cool dreams. 

It's really all about what you entertain in your brain.

I have changed my life many times over for the better! Like, I quit smoking 42 years ago... Dee is younger than me and she has COPD and coughs and hacks, complains she can't breathe. 

And... here we are I have 15cents in the bank, she can't borrow for cigs and she is having to do without. She is not a happy camper.  She's what they call 'feinin'. 

I thank GOD I listened and quit because I can breathe just fine!

One day, there will be a place where being good is the norm. There will be no problems because we'd of worked em' all out. Found a solution. And there will be no more issues because we will be of one mind... the mind of Jesus! 

I think its silly to be waiting on Jesus to come down out of the sky on a cloud. That's Hollywood. Jesus will RETURN in our hearts and our minds... for all of us! We will all 'get it'! And things will change! People will change for the better! And no one will argue about it because EVERYONE will know the TRUTH! Yes, the TRUTH will indeed SET US FREE!

GOD Bless US Everyone! IJCNA

Thought Of The Day 12-22-2021

    I guess I am going to have to rely on this page and Twitter to express myself, because people don't like it when I say truth to them. But yet they say they love me, and they won't move out, so... We know Truth hurts sometimes. And I suppose I do expect it, but the back lashes sometimes hurt me too!

One thing about me is, if I don't know something, I don't make something up, I say I don't know and ask questions or I do a web search, most times both. Until I do have the knowledge to even have an opinion.

Here's today's dilemma.

It's about smoking cigarettes. Now I used to smoke, and I quit long ago. And of course, over the years I hear all the info. So, I do have an opinion.

In the house, everyone else smokes cigs. I am the only non-smoker. And believe me it's not good when I am trying to eat and someone lights up, because they ate first and are done. 

There are 2 smokers who depend on my mercy to buy them cigarettes. 

Yesterday I spent my last 10 dollars and some change and bought them both a pack each. 

Now before I go on let me tell you that one smoker, Dee... She was smoking her last cigarette when I decided, instead of buying food (that I could share in), I bought cigs for them, and then the heaviest smoker who has tried to quit smoking several times, even with medical help, got mad at me because she had set her mind to quit with that last cigarette. Now, please... I know better. She is on many psyche meds, so I don't even waste my time being upset. But I did tell her, oh, well let's give the pack to the other smoker... OH noooo... that didn't happen. I knew it wouldn't when I said it. 

So today, the light smoker is missing a few cigs. But he still has 2/3s a pack. (it's his fault for leaving them in the TV room). But no one can be blamed without proof. So, I just told him to not leave them out, he got mad at me!

And then I discovered the heavy smoker has no more cigs. Well, I can't help them now. I am maxed out. They both knew it. But now, she's mad at me. 

What did I do?

Well I was working in the kitchen and saw there was still a half of a pot of coffee. That Dee had made. I have been trying to tell them for weeks that I am running out of money, I guess they thought I was lying like they lie. But honestly, I learned long ago not to be a liar. Ya know, Jesus... ohhh GOD first said, Don't Lie!  And you know them ones on all of those pills can't tell the difference between reality and a personal made-up thought. 

Anyway, I noticed the coffee and I knew she had made it, so I went in to ask if she was going to drink the coffee. She says, she made it for everyone. OK, she knows I limit myself to 2 large cups per morning. No one else wanted coffee. I told her to only make some for herself from now on, (I think throwing out all that coffee is a sin) She got mad at me! She said I was always getting onto her. OMG... I try to tell them my thoughts/feelings and they get mad! And usually, it's about smoking and their health or throwing food away. Fact is, there's enough beans and canned food to feed me for months, but they want fresh food every day! It's not in my job description to buy their food, but I have been. 

Now... they are both in a rotten mood.

So, I come in here and shut my door. Figured I could get my opinions out without trouble. I know I can trust y'all, my readers, to understand me! I say my readers because I do have a few hundred readers a month. It's sort of bizarre to me because most times there are no comments. Even on Facebook, very few comments. Well, that could be because most know I can't get to all the PM's

Oh... AND... Yesterday on Twitter, I found out a very popular Christian Ministry started following me! I mean this is one who is on TV several times a day! I was so happy and excited I had to SHOUT IT OUT LOUD! And of course, I Thank GOD for it because if this wonderful beloved preacher is following me, I ... well, I know they know that my words are TRUTH!

Ohhh GOD is laughing at me. HE IS saying, one day many more Men Of GOD will know my name! Well, that makes me HAPPY! I am thinking if I get very popular, I can Sell My book; Proverbs 2000! I wrote it many years ago and just sitting on it. But I know the potential is there and then I won't have to worry about not having money. Oh, did I tell you? With a heavy sigh, I can say there is no money for Christmas dinner or any presents. But ya know what? Jesus LOVES me anyway and GOD knows my heart! It's probably just a test, like GOD puts us all through.

GOD knows I am quietly in my bedroom with the door shut because... well let me explain. When I 'act like' or 'be in' a bad mood, they are all loving and caring, but when I am in a happy mood, they are sour pusses. The option was to be mad all the time so they wouldn't be, but the GOD corrected me on that real quick, HE doesn't want me to live like that. HE wants me to feel the JOY and PEACE that is HIS hallmark! 

So this is why I often dream of living in the side of a mountain in a small cabin.

But truth is, I LOVE them... I try to set a good example. 

All I can do really is share the knowledge I have that GOD gave me through the years that I have searched. You see, GOD doesn't go where HE is not wanted. If you have no thought of GOD, HE won't push HIMSELF on you... you have to SEEK HIM.

And you know the WORD...

Seek and you will find!

Knock and it will be open to you!

So first seek to learn about 'the man' Jesus. His story is told in the Gospels. Learn His WORDS.

I mean its all I can say. Because Jesus saved me from the reality of HELL. Yes its still a struggle, but isn't that what life is all about? Struggling to have a better tomorrow?

Not everyone can be born unto Heaven.... 

Some of us must struggle to get there!

You know what they say...

The struggle is real!

OK, thank You for reading! I feel a special connection with y'all. HA, I tell y'all my innermost thoughts! Not everyone gets to hear them. As y'all know I don't mix this life with that life. This actually started as a journal when I had a computer crash and I had lost all my stuff. And now... 115 countries? HAHAHA I am still excited about it. And most people in my personal life have no clue I am here.

So that is my rant for the day. I am supposen' that I should shut myself up more often and come where I am appreciated! Hey, I appreciate You too!

GOD Bless US Everyone!

Learning The Lesson

 I don't have a good report today. I have been so sad. Depressed even. Because I really wanted to believe that goodness is dominant in people who profess to know GOD.

But I guess we can call them pretenders.

So, the man who was here on parole who was, I thought to be a blessing. Turned out to be a liar and a thief. Someone who I thought would be so close to me as to be a help in GODS service!

He was the one who started calling me MotherPope when I married his dad. Mr. Pope.

I honestly thought life would be better for having another who could 'preach it' so well.

Add to that, I feel like the Lord wants me to help others. 

At first it was pretty good. Until I discovered that he was using meth. And then he lost his job. And then unknowing to me was also selling meth. As time went on... I noticed he was not complying with his parole and me being his 'sponsor' they called me. When I confronted him, he just said he already took care of it. But it got worse, he started arguing with me and running me down... "You don't know." was all I heard. I kept praying and questioning GOD, but I also kept caring and trying to help. 

He started bringing in all sorts of people... different women... even after I told him we would rather him not bring people in the house. He didn't care, he would bring them in, and they would sleep on an air mattress all day and be up all night making huge messes in the kitchen. I was really upset at this point. But all I could do was hope and pray for him to get his snap and follow Jesus.

Other people in the house were asking me WTH?

I became confused. And we know GOD is not the author of confusion, so there's that!

I still didn't want to believe he was serving the evil... and I just kept praying to GOD for help. And then one day he handed me the phone, it was his wife... (whose living with another man)... but I am supposing she felt the same as I did... wanting to believe. And yes, he was married and had 2 beautiful little kids! You see it was supposed to be about them... I was told at the beginning that he wanted to get an apartment for his family! But months passed and there was nothing but BS. And more lies.

So, he had handed me the phone and his wife asked if 'dad' could babysit the kids here for a day or so. Ohhh, YES! I said, thinking that it would get him to do better. But the next morning another adult in the house knocked on my door very early. She explained to me that the kids were running around, and she couldn't get their dad up. She said he kept yelling at her. WHA??? So, I go in there and knock on the door and told him his kids were up and he needed to get up. OMG, he yelled at me too! He said to leave him alone! And the more I said that the kids needed him the madder he got. So, I did sit up with them for a couple hours. Until we had to take a roommate to the Dr's office. So, I told him again, we had to go to the Dr's office, and he needed to get up with the kids. 

Two hours later we came back he was still sleeping in the bed! And you know I am telling him that he loves his sleep more than he loves his kids! I said that because that used to be me. My mother would make us leave the 1 room apartment at 5am and she would sleep. This had a serious effect on us as bad people tried to get close to us in that park.  All this pain came rushing back to my mind and I felt the hurt all over again... and that pushed me over the edge... I went off on him... brought up the awful truth and even what I had learned about the meth... and he didn't like it... he actually got in my face and screamed at me "FUCK YOU" and said 'that it wasn't any of my business'... Oh? whose house are we in buddy?  

It was then that 2 other people in the house told him he needs to leave. 

I called the mother and told her what happened... she was so upset and asked if they were OK for the day... I said YES and I did sit with them for several hours while their dad went back to sleep. When they went to sleep that eve, I texted the mother said I was going to bed. She came and got the kids... who by the way are awesome kids! The 5-year-old girl knew to just shut the door and let him sleep! Which made me cry that she even knew to do that! 

After that night when I woke up, he had the same woman in there that he had just argued with 2 days earlier... it was something about him using her car to buy and sell meth. He told me all this stuff! I am not making this up! He tried to come and talk to me, but I was so broken at that point he was a 'trigger' and I couldn't even look at him. I told him it was too late. At this point I had talked to my daughter in law and found out it was this man who got my son on meth... this was a battle! I had prayed and cried and prayed and cried... always told my son how important he was to me... at that time I didn't know who had got him on it. (he's off now). 

But at this point all I could do was sit in my bedside chair and cry. 

Other people in the house don't like it when I just sit in that chair and cry.

But I wasn't just crying... I was praying... asking GOD "WHY"???

And then I heard GOD... "I can't judge him unless he does the actions."

What?? Because in all my muddled mind... it suddenly became clear to me. 

GOD knew that I would survive it... and so allowed the evil to be done here because it had to be, so that GOD can create the consequences, to be able to SEE the actions enabled the judgement.

Now this may sound logical to you, a very simple thing.

But for me I was blinded to the evil. At first! 

I am just grateful its over!

Ohhh... when he packed up and left, he took a stereo that I bought in 1976 from my 1st job! He told my roommate that I told him to throw it away! She tried to talk to him, but she knows he lied. Because she has known me since 1972 and knew that was my 'precious memory stereo'... when I discovered he had taken it, I text him to bring it back, he argued. He said that it was trash that he got it working! Lie! All it needed was a wire connected to the speaker. Nothing wrong with that stereo.

Looking back on it now...  

Would I try to help another person?

My answer would be YES... just as the devil is involved in this world... Ya never know when you will entertain an angel! And being the positive person I am, I know The Lord IS WITH ME!

Whom should I fear?

The bad day was December the 10th. I am feeling better.

I just pray that GOD allows me to continue as HIS servant...

GOD Bless US, Everyone!
