Is voting just an act of insanity?

One part of me says if we could get the whole country to stay out of voting for one president - I wonder who would win..you know? We could all stand back and say, "I never pulled THAT lever." I wonder how badly the fraud and lying would go. We could all stand back and expose the little confused man behind the scenes who Did put that puppet in office.

On the other hand I WANT to pull that lever, fill in that circle, touch that screen button to choose who I want for President because I want my voice heard. You see, I do believe the elite see who the country is voting for and can tell if their lying and manipulation of the media is working. I want them to know I will not settle, I will choose for myself and I have not given up on America. I know what Einstein says but in this I believe he would agree that it isn't about actually winning but it is about doing the American thing, what people lived, fought, bled and died for us to do. It is the quintessential act of freedom that we do not share with any other country on the face of this earth. Canada and Europe are still dealing with royal families, here we only have the royals who the lib media raise to a pedestal and bow to.  We The People, when we go to vote are now standing side by side with our founding fathers and those who sacrificed their fortunes and their lives and their families to gain the privilege that we so cheaply consider tossing away. The founders fought the same families and the same elite system we fight against today. They fought against the wealth of royal families in England who at the time ruled the seas, talk about going up against an unbeatable foe!!!!

It's us, the peasants who dared to believe we are as good as them! It is us, the men and women who blindly and faithfully believed and supported a government that slowly sold us out for money and power. We are not the ones on the losing side gentlemen but rather it is they who fight foolishly against what is truly right and just in the sight of Almighty God and the heavens. They did not beat Washington and the founders then and they tried again in 1812 and lost their ass again! We are the Israel of the West and God is at our side. It is only when we as a nation and a people turn once again and acknowledge His presence, humble ourselves as a people and call out for His protection. We must do what Washington did so many times and pray for forgiveness for turning our backs upon His precepts and principles, we must ask for His mercy and to send His angels to once again protect this country because gentlemen it is no longer about America it is about good over evil and we can either be on the side who fought the good fight or the side who sat down and never pulled that lever, never blacked in that circle, never touched that screen button and just ...let...evil...rape...our...land.

God's Holy Word, is it still relevent in YOUR Life?

As for me I do not have to decide on this issue, the Word of God has spelled it out quite clearly for my understanding. The reason I am posting this article is to point out that many denominations are "changing" their thinking or stance on this issue. I will not tell this church or that church what they are to believe or teach, for me I see it as fruitless. I will choose not to attend any church or receive teaching from any pastor who sides with continued living in a state of sin and patting me or anyone else on the head to say "there, there, it's OK, God still loves you...just put your money in the plate and pass it down". I do not care if the sin is gambling, adultery, drug abuse, whatever, the Word of God is clear that if it leads to death of the spirit and our interactive relationship with God our Father then we need to ditch it and fast. The first commandment is that we will love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our mind and all our strength. If I am in a relationship that I prize more highly than being in complete alignment with my Creator's heart then I am idolizing that relationship. For a "believing" pastor to change and say the bible is not clear on what is sin is like saying the sky is orange - not blue. Sin, it will get us all in trouble, every time.

Sgt. Maj. Page to St. Louis Oath Keepers: The End of American Sovereignt...

Why I appreciate Cliven Bundy and how he helps me see God in My life

 Heard from Cliven today on Alex Jones, it was a good interview for about half an hour. The more people who hear Cliven and hear his explanations of what it going on and how the Federal Government is out of bounds on all of this, the more people are seeing the true picture and how the idea, the idea of America is not dead. America is alive in our hearts and minds, America is a place like the forefathers gazed upon. A place, a plot of land where a person could shape out their home and call it the place where they may spend the rest of their life. A life not filled with hustle and bustle but filled with honest work and a sense of purpose. A man needs a struggle, a wrestling with life otherwise it all comes too easy and it won't mean much and a man won't feel like he's accomplished anything that amounts to much. Any force whether natural or man-made which gets in the way of a man cutting out his place in this world stops him from reaching his destiny and maturing into what God intended for him to be.

 

 A natural force is something a man can deal with but man-made that is another thing. I hear in Cliven's words the frustration that any man can identify with in that he has his life and he realizes the wealth of it, that what God has gifted to him and his family is worth more that gold and silver. Cliven has purpose and his efforts benefit so many people. He can raise cattle, bring them to the buyers and at some point some of his cattle help to feed our military, families who are growing and patients in hospitals who need good food for nourishment and healing and Cliven has risen to that need and does it in a part of the world where many of us (myself included) would have no clue where to begin. For others they will see the struggle of government oppression and the frustration of not being heard as a part of American society, a Constitution stepped upon and liberty being stolen from us and the blood of our forefathers spat upon and I would be right there with you and I feel the same things. Another side to this is a halting of what God set in motion for Cliven and all the Bundys, people wanting to live their life and be one with their God through the struggle He has offered to them, it is a gift and the Bundys enjoin with God in that struggle and together it is a success and that, THAT! is what life is really all about. Joining with God not apart from Him and we share in His struggle as much as He shares in ours and together it is a success and no amount of money can replace that feeling of being a part of your Heavenly Father's plan and finding your place and purpose. Thank you God for Cliven Bundy and for any and all who do the same every day, for it is those individuals who live life truly and with purity of heart and give the rest of us a taste of what is good.

Psalm 34: 8 ; Taste and see that the Lord is good;

blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

** Watching Connecticut **

Connecticut citizens to turn in guns

This article contains a scanned copy of the letter being received by residents of Connecticut stating that they, personally, did not meet the deadline for registering their "assault weapons and/or large capacity magazines." As a consequence they are now directed to dismantle or in some way make the firearm inoperable and to do the same to the magazines. Or...they can sell the items to a licensed gun dealer or turn them in to their local police. Bottom line...the Governor of the State of Connecticut does not want residents of Connecticut to possess "assault rifles". I put the term in quotes because gun grabbing political figures call a lot of firearms "assault" weapons when what the FBI and the Military define as assault weapons are those that are Fully Automatic...only. Americans Can own fully automatic weapons but they Must apply for a special class 3 permit from the Bureau of Tobacco, Firearms, Alcohol and Explosives which is by no means an easy task to accomplish so..for the rest of us peasants it is Semi Automatic rifles down to single shot. The gun grabbers call any rifle that is decorated with black paint or black plastic accessories an assault weapon per Diane Feinstein or Barbara Boxer. 

Last month pictures were all over the internet of Connecticut residents standing in line to register their guns and America sighed. Today Connecticut residents (more than 90%) have NOT shown up to register nor have they mailed in the form. This is going to be a test of wills between the Government of Connecticut (Governor on down) and the residents of Connecticut as to who will back down first. I believe the Governor will allow Law Enforcement to knock in some doors to scare the rest of the sheep and in some cases bullets may fly. We can hope that cooler heads would prevail but if it doesn't happen here it will happen somewhere else in the near future. Tempers are growing shorter with every passing week we learn of Government mishandling of funds, of projects which negatively impact the people of that state (the unemployed in particular) and more and more talk from the media of how patriotism is bad because of blah blah blah...etc.

This situation is important and I wait to see if the Mainstream media will cover this situation at all or will they talk more about Michelle Obama going off somewhere again to spend millions of our tax dollars on another vacation to get over the fact that hubby did another selfy and posted it to facebook. The media wants to paint us a picture of imaginary things and turn our attention and focus from how our elected leaders are tearing our country and our ability to worship, to live and to grow from our grasp. Only a closed and dead mind would cling to the notion that All of Society must live in a certain way, believe in a certain way and love in a certain way or those who disagree must be re-programmed. I consider them cowards and haters of freedom, liberty and Godly living. Jesus told us already in His own words that He did not come to re-write the Law of God but to fulfill it. He told us He is like a two edged sword splitting bone from marrow. Separating father from son, mother from daughter and on down the family tree - why? - because as human beings each of us individually will at some point in our life decide who we are and how we will live out our existence on this planet, that is the power and purpose of free will. Jesus knew and accepted as we should accept that not all would choose Him and His ways of life. Many of us know family or friends who have many differences from ourselves and we may or may not accept that but when a person chooses differently from the ways of God (listed and noted in the Bible) then they make a choice of eternal consequences. 

I am not for people to be carbon copies of one another but I also believe God gives us room to live out His commandments in different ways but the end result is that we live to love God and to love our neighbor as ourselves. A society that chooses to embrace and welcome pedophiles and living in the ways of self gratification and of love of material things has already walked away from God's commandments. The first four of the Ten Commandments outline for us how we are to live out our relationship with God our Father and the six remaining commandments explain how to live out our faithfulness to God with our neighbor (family, friends and strangers). Occasionally we all will fall down on at least one of these commandments and God's law states that to break one commandment is reason for death so what is a person to do? Enter in Jesus who came to accept our faults and failures before God and with us accepting His passion and death as payment for our mistakes (sin ) He has guaranteed for us eternal life with Him and our Heavenly Father for all time. An exchange of sorts that God has allowed and ordained and guaranteed for all eternity if we drop our pride and humble ourselves to ask Him for forgiveness and mercy. I challenge you to consider the ways of this world right now and ask yourself if you can see the separation of society, of culture and morals. If so then you now see the separation Jesus speaks about, this is why family or friends would be torn apart because the ways of the world feed that fleshly mentality and the ways of Jesus, the ways he listened and loved others, the ways he loved God the Father and the extent He went to so as to guarantee our acceptance into God's eternal Kingdom are not about material items or pleasures but more about love, a love that cannot be bought or sold, therefore it will be forever, unchanged.

How does this all fit into what is going on in Connecticut you now ask? Good question and I will give my interpretation: a government that will not allow me a way to defend my life or that of my family does not trust me to do the right thing for the right reason. That government does not have regard for my life or the lives of my family and would rather leave me exposed and vulnerable to the evils that you and I both know exist everywhere in this world. Secondly if a man is not respected enough to allow him to live how he sees fit and to follow God how he believes he should without doing any harm to anyone else, that man is not living in a world where the fact that he was created and exists is not being appreciated and he is not seen as an equal in the sight of God as one of His creation but rather he is seen as a subject or servant who's master(s) have stripped him of his rights as an individual and a complete creation of God. That to me is what the founders of this country were stating in the Declaration of Independence,

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and happiness."


Our founders recognized the importance and necessity of including God in the equation and through the eyes of faith chose to see each and every individual as a single creation of Almighty God and therefore “fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Psalm 139:14

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

I will not debate on the theology of the founders but rather point out they recognized the importance of God in their life and ours and the life of this country.

There is a segment of society growing more every day that has lost sight of this and has chosen to remain blind to it and without this predisposed position of how to view ourselves and each other we are turning into the Republic of China or Russia where the people living there are subjects or slaves, they have no unalienable rights but rather permissions granted them by the person in charge at that moment. The Governor of Connecticut is beginning to view his constituents as subjects and not as fearfully and wonderfully made creations whom are the property of the one who made them…God Almighty. The Governor and his people (team) are losing respect for people and seeing them as sheep and are moving to oppress them to the point of removing their means of self protection, possibly by force which will change Connecticut residents to servants or subjects and not free men and women under God.

 There is a separation coming and we see it before our eyes. It will not be avoided because this is something God The Father and Jesus through the Holy Spirit set in motion over 2000 years ago and what was begun by His hand will be fulfilled. Brace yourselves and choose today which house you will serve, as for me and my house we will serve the Lord God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth and in doing so I recognize my brother and sister of creation as having the unalienable right to defend themselves or their loved ones and not be dependent or enslaved to any government agency for such a thing because the loyalties of that agency can and could change with the shift of the wind leaving people vulnerable and helpless in the face of true evil, that is a heartless way to treat anyone. Jesus reminded the rich man and He reminds us of the two greatest commandments of all; “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself.” Let us pray the Governor of Connecticut comes to his senses and chooses to love his constituents instead of ruling over them.

  

Is this my solo hour?

How to write, what to write for it has been so long. I used to send things to people that didn't ask for it because I felt I had a message to share. I felt God was speaking to my heart and I wanted to share those revelations, those epiphanies with others. Not days or weeks or months but for years I did this and only a small amount of times did I ever hear back from any of them. Those that I might meet in public would bring up my writing and say kind things and be very sincere and I thanked them for their kindness. But I couldn't help walking away with a hollow feeling that they were being ..nice. I questioned their motives but I later realized I should accept gifts when they are given and not look too deeply at the intentions. Receiving is just as important as is the giving. I do not hold it against them and I thank God they had kind words and not bitter words for my ego is fragile and my writing is a bearing of my soul in many ways. I know we are not all on the same wave length but I wanted to connect with someone, finding connection is difficult.

Looking for connection is putting your heart out in your hand and walking forward and hoping that no one slaps it out of your grip. That they would give you wide birth and allow you to move forward and speak and preach and say what you want and listen...oh to just listen and consider what I have to say. I do not speak much but when I have something to say I want people to listen. Listening to me means turning off their present line of thought and to focus on my words, to intake them and contemplate on them for at least the rest of the day before discarding them.  Writing or speaking while no one is even looking at you speaks to me as, "we don't care about you or your words. What you say and who you are is insignificant to us and we could care less." It is the concept in my mind that I am taking up space, that I'm an oxygen thief and I have just interrupted their day. How does one get over that feeling? How does a writer get past the notion that since they aren't listening that I should just shut up and hope and wait and see if they come around? 

Will they? How long will I wait? Not long because the hurt of being ignored is very taxing on the spirit and I will not allow myself to be rung out like that any more. So time goes by and the message grows moldy, the level of urgency of the message has long faded and now holds no context.  What do I do then, write and let nature take its course or wait until they begin to realize they have overlooked me and now they need to give me their attention. I do not believe the latter will ever take place, it is not natural and would only happen through super natural intervention to which I do not believe I should wait for God to thump them on the head and hope they pay attention, why should they? Jesus himself spoke to the people and many turned away, many ignored Him and some dismissed Him as a nut case. I follow Him and if it happened to my Master then it will surely happen to me. No, I have learned through doing that a writer, a preacher, a singer is only an instrument and the melody that flows through that instrument makes a particular sound and some may hear that sound and squinch their eyes and plug their ears because the melody is unpleasing to them. Others will give a listen in kindness but later forget all about it and a very few will think it is the most beautiful music they have ever heard. That it is a melody that resonates within them, it makes them dream daydreams and lifts their hearts. That is the task of the writer, singer or preacher to make THEIR kind of music, tell their brand of message and allow the melody to fall where it may. To examine the message is to question the source and if you question that source to be of Heavenly origin then you can check it by the fruits of the Spirit as given by God Himself. 

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5: 22-23

This is the measuring scale by which we can know that our message is grounded in God and given to us by faith, in faith that we will deliver it to the appointed receivers. We are but transmitters for a voice with the sound of many waters, a rushing wind, a clap of thunder. God's voice is a whisper in the breeze or is a tap of rain dripping off a metal roof and landing on a rusty bucket turned upside down. It is never the voice that captivates us, it may at first because that is God's plan to hook us and pull us in but when we open our hearts and ears to hear then we hear the melody and we allow the music to resonate within our soul then we will know if the melody, the message was meant for us.  I must go out and find those who can hear my music, read my words and play music for them. I must share the notes and tunes the great Conductor has placed inside of me. I must set myself free in order to follow Him.
