Universal Law Of Prosperity

December 30, 2008

Sowing and reaping are universal laws of nature because God set them up to be universal laws of nature. These laws work in all things. What ever is sown is ultimately what is reaped. Scriptures declare it! Here is just one.

 

Gal 6:7-9

7          Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap…for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not (KJV)

 

This Scripture principle applies to the sowing of finances as well to sowing seed on a farm. If you sow corn you will reap corn. If you sow cotton you will reap cotton. If you sow tomatoes you will reap tomatoes.

 

Likewise if you sow finances into God’s vineyard, you will reap yourself a money harvest. This is a universal law. What you reap now is what you sowed yesterday.

 

God showed me some years ago, why sowing and reaping works with the planting of money into God’s vineyard. He showed me that He quickens or makes alive the inanimate, dead money that we sow.

 

Even a seed of corn, cotton or tomatoes dies in the ground before it can reproduce itself. Consequently, the thought of money being made alive by God should not be shocking at all. After all, He makes the corn, cotton and tomato seed come alive even though it is dead.

 

In other words, seed money planted into His vineyard takes on a supernatural life that is capable of reproduction just like a grain of corn that the farmer sows. Get this well! Your money seed lives and reproduces itself just like a grain of corn. This requires a supernatural act of God.

 

Think of it. When you plant a money seed, God actually makes that money live with the life of God in it. Consequently, it can supernaturally reproduce itself a hundredfold and come back to you in the form of a money harvest.

 

Begin now to sow everywhere you can and as much as you can. This way you will have a continual harvest of money. The more often you sow, the more often you can reap.

 

This is the miracle working power of God in your money life. When you sow money into His vineyard, you make Him responsible for your financial condition. When you do not sow into His work, you and you alone, are totally responsible for your financial situation.

 

Sow some seed today and let Him be responsible for your finances. You will be glad you did.

UFOs – What is The Christian View of Them?

December 30, 2008

To deal with the subject of UFOs I have taught people for over thirty years to ask three very important questions. Almost everyone Christian or not has asked questions regarding UFOs. What I noticed years ago was that unbelievers only asked two of the three questions. Believers are compelled by the scripture itself to ask all three questions. It is the answer to the third question that raises a warning flag on the whole matter.

 

1. Are they real? Millions of people around the world have seen UFOs; some of them are rather notable. President Jimmy Carter, Bob Larson, and Astronaut Gordon Cooper are a few of the initiated. It would seem unadvisable to fly in the face of all these witnesses or to call them unreliable. Are UFOs real, yes in the sense of having appeared to so many people around the world.

 

2. What are they? The most common answer to this question is that they are ETIs or extra terrestrial intelligences. Because of the conclusions outlined in the Air Forces Blue Book investigation and a host of other studies, I make an entirely different conclusion. The Blue Book said because they had the ability to change direction at speeds far above supersonic that they appeared to be “metaphysical” in nature and not physical. Science doesn’t dare use terms like “spiritual”, it is not an empirical term so they use its cousin, metaphysical, which means exactly the same thing. The bible has spoken of angels of the Lord and angels and minions of the god of this world (Satan) as being among us for as long as we have inhabited this planet. This being the case it would be safer to say they are ECIs or “extra celestial intelligences.” A world bent on human knowledge to explain everything and a penchant for believing that we are not alone in the universe is not likely to accept this idea. In this case I’ll go with the bible and not man.

 

3. What message do they convey or leave for us. Bible believing people are not at liberty to dismiss this question. In fact there is no phenomenon, new revelation, prophetic utterance or any other worldwide advent that can go without being scrutinized by this question. The Apostle Paul outlines the question for us in a very clear and emphatic statement about messages or revelations received from any source at all.

 

Paul said…But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:8 Do the reports from abductees or any other message left behind by UFOs concur with the bible message of the gospel? The answer is unequivocally no. In some cases the reports conflict. Some people said they were told the ETIs would intervene at a propitious moment in our history to show us how to harness nuclear power. Other reports said they would intervene to show us how to completely eradicate any use of nuclear power whatsoever. But in no case have any abductees said that they were willing to admit that Christ was the Messiah of the world. They would not say he had died for the sins of the world, been resurrected and was yet to return to judge the living and the dead. Some of them even denied knowing about Christ at all. Since almost every one in this world knows about Christ, believer or not, what does that say about the “intelligence” of the ETIs?

 

In these days just before Armageddon just about every phantasm known to man is being laid upon us to facilitate the dislodging of our faith. Under question number three it behooves us to give up the most commonly accepted answer to question number three, and hold fast to the gospel.

Two Thousand Years Later

December 30, 2008

The Passion of The Christ has caused a lot of discussions. Some people accuse the film to be anti-Semitic or that it has the potential to incite hatred and violence towards Jews. Other people object mainly to Mel Gibson’s gruesome depiction of Jesus Christ’s last 12 hours on earth in his latest film: The Passion Of The Christ. Though these are of importance, we should not allow Christ’s main message to drown and be set aside in favor of our discussions of religion, politics, film-comparisons, film-critiques and censorship. We should take this opportunity to remember what it was that Jesus Christ died for. Perhaps we can re-think and re-learn the message He may have been trying to tell us two thousand years ago.

 

I would have preferred this paper to discuss only the main teaching of Christ and how it relates to us today; however I feel that I should address the two most popular discussions regarding the film before I can continue on. Was it anti-Semitic? I don’t believe the film was anti-Semitic. The Jews had to make a decision then and they did it no differently to how we, as a society, conduct our affairs today. In the latter part of this document, I argue that there is no reason for non-Jews to blame the Jews for what had happened. Was the gore and violence of the film appropriate? Yes. I think that the gore and violence of the film was important in illustrating the sacrifice that Jesus had to make, and was willing to take, so that we would understand what he had been trying to tell us all along. The pain and suffering he had endured shows the amount of strength that is required to love – completely and truly.

 

Regardless of what your religious beliefs are, or whether you have a religion or not, let me first ask you to assume, just for this paper, to forget religion. Forget the notion that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Forget the notion that he was sent here by a Divine Power. Let us just assume that he was a mortal man, made of flesh and blood, just like you and me. He saw the world differently however. He interpreted information, his experiences and his emotions differently to how most of us process our internal and external environments. As a result, he gained immense wisdom and knowledge beyond the comprehension of most of us. He tried to tell us something. He tried to share with us what he knew.

 

The main teachings of Jesus Christ revolve around the core idea of LOVE. Love everything. Love everybody. Even your enemies! If they hit you on one cheek, turn the other cheek. Like Buddha’s message: Do NOT do unto others what you would NOT like others do unto you. Be compassionate towards all beings. That was what they taught: LOVE.

 

He believed that it is the only philosophy that will allow us all to achieve harmony and happiness in our universe and in our lives. No amount of hate should be allowed every day and in every way that we conduct ourselves. No matter what happens, we must not hate or wish malicious thoughts towards anything or anybody.

 

To spread that message, he spoke about it when he could, where he could. People flocked to the mountains and in the temples where he preached. A lot of his ideas fascinated people. They were new, bizarre and sometimes his ideas went against basic human instincts and the prevailing beliefs that people had at the time. He was a leader, like a shepherd guiding his herd of sheep. He led with utmost integrity.

 

We have had a lot of leaders in the past, now and we will continue to follow them in the future. They tell us one thing but they do not have the strength and courage it takes to refuse to do another. They contradict themselves and their ideals.

 

Is it only our leaders, celebrities and other prominent members of our society – whom we read about in the papers – who are at fault? No. Their faults are our faults. How is that? Because we still believe that it is OK to hate or express negative emotions towards others whom we feel have done us wrong or will do us wrong. We, as people, still exhibit little signs of compassion, consideration, thoughtfulness and understanding towards other people and other beings.

 

We experience negative emotions towards other people when they mock us, when they ridicule us, when they bully us, when they humiliate us, when they deny us justice or fairness, when they torture us, when they kill or threaten to kill our loved ones, or when they deny us anything else that we consider to be our ‘human rights’.

 

“Of course”, we say. “That’s natural!”

 

That is exactly my point! Jesus Christ had to endure all that and yet he had gone through his last twelve hours without displaying any signs of anger, hatred, disappointment, greed or fear. In fact, during his crucifixion, he still asked that his enemies be forgiven for they knew not what they were doing. Who among us has the courage, strength and wisdom to be able to accept our predicaments like that?

 

Jesus Christ has shown us that we must love even our enemies, be wise enough to increase our capacity to understand and show compassion towards all beings…regardless of what happens.

 

The Jews at the time had to make a decision: to kill Jesus or not. What would have been the right thing for them to do? They did not know. If you were a common person in the streets of Jerusalem at that time and you were asked what you would like to happen to Jesus, what would you have said? For a lot of people, the information they had of Jesus Christ was very sketchy. He was whispered to be The Messiah. He had many controversial ideas but he seemed very wise and he had helped ease the misery of a lot of people. At the same time, Jesus was also accused of being a liar, a madman, a witch and a blasphemer. He had made Lazarus come back to life, walked on water and he had turned water into wine. Would you have believed those miracles? If they were not true, why would people have made them up? If they were true then definitely, Jesus was no ordinary man. And if he had powers like that, what else was he capable of doing? What if he was the Devil in disguise? Maybe it was right that he be killed while his threat could still be subdued. There were so many people chanting for his death. Surely their reasoning would not have been baseless.

 

It was not an easy decision for any person or any group of people to make. Even Pontius Pilate who was in a position to have all the information in the land to make a decision, was torn what to do with Jesus. Pilate was like the President of the United States, with all the advisers, intelligence agencies and reporters at his disposal. Yet, he did not know what he was supposed to do.

 

The decision came to pass to crucify Jesus. The High Priests were threatened of him. Pontius Pilate weighed his decision and allowed the people to make the choice for him. Those who were most vocal and more aggressive in their belief that Jesus Christ ought to die, got their way that day. There may have been people who probably felt strongly against it but they were not willing or able to do anything to stop it. Others were not there probably because they allowed themselves to be in a position where they knew too little information to have an opinion at a time when it was crucial that they did. Sadly, many may not just have cared.

 

Think of all current issues we face. There are some of us who choose FOR or AGAINST a motion. Others do not choose, however, by not choosing, they have also made a choice. As one global voice, we are all divided in our opinions towards most of these issues. And only with hindsight, can we truly assess the impact of the choices we have made. It is the same dilemma that the Jews faced then.

 

Should we look outside ourselves to see whom we can blame for the killing of Jesus? No. The Jews killed Jesus, a fellow Jew, but how different are we when we kill or hurt our own? How different are we when we allow others to suffer because it was not our problem or because we did not yet know enough about the problem?

 

Added with our inability to be wiser than we are to accept and feel compassion towards all beings, it was our ‘human nature’ to hate and inflict pain and suffering on others that crucified Jesus Christ. That ‘human nature’ still remains unchanged even after two thousand years. What Jerusalem was then is what the world is now. And it will be that way forever…until we change.

Two Beginner Witchcraft Spells For Money And Protection

December 30, 2008

Your first spell in any path of Witchcraft should be one of protection.  There are two reasons for this.  First, protection spells are very safe… even if you are inexperienced, no harm can come from casting a protection spell the “wrong way”…

 

The second reason is because most protection spells are relatively easy.  I’ve given you one here, and also a simple money spell you can do too…

 

Beginner Spell #1 –Make a Piggy Bank Seed

 

This extremely simple spell is so easy it is almost funny. Don’t let that fool you though, it works very well to bring wealth into your life. My Grandmother had me do it as a child (it worked so well, I still have the same dollar bill in a piggy bank almost 30 years later).

 

This spell also works best in the evening, and in the protection of a Magick circle – at your altar.

 

You will need:

 

A piggy bank

A dollar bill, play money, or a piece of paper

Clove oil

Green or gold thread

 

Dab the four corners of the money, play money, or paper with clove oil. Fold the bill three times.

 

Wrapping towards you, wind the thread around the dollar bill. Tie it with three knots. Place this seed dollar in the piggy bank. The anointed dollar will act as seed money and will draw more money to it (and into your life).

 

 

Beginner Spell #2 – Dragon Protection

 

This spell will create energy of protection through your aura – giving your protection from bad luck, and bad energies.

 

This is best done after you have cast your Magick circle, in your sacred space around your altar.

 

You will need one white or purple candle to represent yourself and one black candle for the earth dragon.

 

 

Cast your magick circle. Stir the dragon of the element of the north (Earth). Light the earth dragon candle and chant these words:

 

“Earth dragon strong and true,

Send to me your magick new.

Egg of protection we shall see,

This is my will so mote it be.”

 

As you chant, envision energy moving from the dragon candle to the one that represents you. See the energy around your candle as green light in the shape of an egg.

 

When you feel this has been accomplished, light your candle from the dragon candle. See your magick happening and know you are protected. Snuff out your candle and put it in a safe place. Any time you need additional protection, light this magickally charged candle. Remember to snuff it out (don’t blow it out) and put it in a safe place.

Twenty First Century Lies

December 30, 2008

A boy went flying down the staircase from his room and after finding his mother busy in the kitchen he blurted out a question with great earnest and urgency. Mother he said…is it true what the preacher says at funerals about us when he says we are going from ashes to ashes and dust to dust? His mother pondered the question for a moment and replied…yes that is true son. The boy took only a few seconds to think of his mothers answer and then blurted out…well Ma you better come upstairs real quick because there is someone under my bed but I’m not sure if they are coming or going.

 

The question of our origins and our final destination has been more than a child’s question to us since history began. The answers we provide ourselves are many and some of them could hardly satisfy a child’s curiosity. We send multi billion dollar space craft to Mars trying to find clues about the origins of life in our solar system. We search religions and the supernatural in quest of the answer to what happens after life. More often than not we sail right by the answers that have already been provided especially if they cannot be scrutinized by our own science or human reasoning.

 

It seems like one great open ended question that is up for grabs. Anyone can take a stab at the answer thus no answer is regarded more important than another. Since the answers are up for grabs that makes the question seem as if it isn’t very important. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact it is one of the most important questions any individual may ever ask. The answer will determine more about our world than we could imagine.

 

At this point you would expect me to identify my particular view based on where or with whom I stand. If I start by saying what the Christian view of the origin and final destination of man is you may not even bother to finish this paragraph. Who is not familiar with the biblical view of life and death? Of course there will always be those who just don’t give a damn about where we came from or where we are going. It is not the argument but genuine care for people that cause the true believer not to give a damn that they don’t give a damn. More often than not it would not be expressed this way but maybe it should be.

 

God does not have a view. If God had opinions and viewpoints we’d all be sunk. We would have to stumble through life like a man driving down a dark mountain pass late at night in the fog on a road with no painted lines to help guide the car. We would endlessly debate the true meaning of the ten suggestions or the beatitudes if you can handle it ideas. We could create a whole new ocean of new religions in which to sink or swim. Drowning would be normal.

 

God has been very clear about the origin and destination of mankind. He is also makes it very clear that agnosticism, atheism and unbelief in general is a choice not the natural concomitant to the lack of humanly acquired answers about the beginnings or the outcome of life. God says he made the earth and every living creature on it and that one day he will visit it again and hold us accountable for what we have done with our planet and our lives. This is called accountability.

 

Late in the last century two grand musings were presented to the world that have gained wide acceptance. They are of course the theory of evolution and the idea of interstellar space travel. How convenient that these two answers have come just in time to help a world spiraling out of control to have answers that trump God and handily remove all accountability to him in one sweeping new wind from the devices of the heart section of our philosophies.

 

If we came from the lonely amoeba swimming about in the primordial ooze and evolved to our present grandiose state, then we don’t have to answer to God. Conversely if we are to just fly off into space and colonize infinite planets to further the human race then we won’t ever have to answer to God after life. There would be no after life but only the continuation of life elsewhere in the great somewhere in the sky (space). Whew! Sounds a lot like the gospel of secular humanity and I can almost hear someone voicing a strong amen from out there somewhere.

 

God says He is not just telling the truth but He is the truth and that truth was also embodied in his only begotten Son. John14:6 Lies also have a source according to God. They come from Gods enemy the devil. No, not the horned red faced and pitch forked demon from the comics or folklore but the covering and brilliant intelligence the scriptures refer to as “the God of this world” 2Corinthians 4:4. In fact he is not just a good liar; he is the “father of lies” John 8:44.  Sure the Devil may be the inspiration for the lies you told your mother about skipping school or the fibs you told your girlfriend about kissing Suzie behind the bleachers but don’t be fooled he has much bigger fish to fry and he is a diligent cook.

 

The garden variety lies are endless like robbing banks will make you rich and happy, pornography will excite you and help fulfill your otherwise dull life, a great political ideology will finally bring peace to the earth, etc, etc, etc. But just before the judgments of God take place and Christ returns the Devil pulls out all the stops. In order to solidify the world with one mind and one pervasive secular world view he introduces the two most dastardly lies of any generation in history.

 

The wise of this world think that they won’t let the notion of an unknowable and un-seeable God make fools of them. At the same time they are letting an un-seeable entity (Satan) make monkeys of them in the most literal sense of the word through a vehicle known as the evolutionary model. The god of this world caps off his greatest deception by providing the wildest imaginations with ideas of Klingons, Vulcans and Kardacians living together with humans in a happily ever after world of the future.

 

Sometimes I wish I could whisk about and visit every person who just sat down in front of the TV to watch an episode of Star Trek or some nature program filled with great swelling statements about what took place four hundred million years ago.  And much like the minister I heard about who approached a scoffing prison inmate after he screamed out “there is no God you idiot” I would say “hey, did you know that you were in the Bible?” The prisoner said “show me where I am in the pages of the bible and I might believe in God too.” The minister read to him from Psalms 53:1 “The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.”

 

God has been clear that anyone who seeks Him will find Him. I think we not only know that but we know where to look for him. This idea is given credence every time someone cries out to God when in extreme danger or despair. Never has it been heard that the soldiers crouching in a foxhole encompassed and outnumbered by their enemies decided to call out to the great one cell amoeba of the past or the future brother hood of humans, Kardacians and Vulcans.

TV Evangelist Pat Robertson and Muhammad

December 30, 2008

One group of people is sailing up a roller coaster ride of emotional rises, falls twists and turns driven by daily news flashes and bits of the latest gab from around the globe. The other group spends the time to get the history or the background of a matter and through some open minded consideration and comparison, often arrive at a more balanced and honest view of any particular issue.

 

The most cursory examination of Pat Robertson’s remarks about the inspiration of the Islamic religion would lead to the fact that Mr. Robertson was far from the first person to entertain this possibility. Far more shocking is the fact that the first person in history to think that the visions of Muhammad were satanically inspired was the Prophet Muhammad himself.

 

Muhammad, born in Mecca in 570 lived through a turbulent childhood being passed back and forth from his mother to his nurse Halima. On one of the occasions when Halima returned Muhammad to his mother, she voiced her fears about fits and other behavior that made her think that he may have been demon possessed. She finally returned the care of Muhammad to his mother when he reached the age of five. But the thoughts she and others had about his possible connection to evil spirits did not end there.

 

Muhammad was disturbed by the moral decadence around the hub of Mecca and began pondering what might bring the Muslims to recognition of a greater power and a return to a more moral life. That compunction drove him to the caves around Mecca where he began to meditate and search for a connection to that higher power or God.

 

He had many dreams, visions and revelations as a result of his search, however, those visions troubled him so much that he was driven to the brink of suicide. Muhammad was the first one to doubt that his revelations had anything to do with God at all. He thought his visions were a product of the “Jinn” or satanic spirits.

 

We can thank his wife for talking him out of that doubt. She told him that the visions were truly inspired by divinity and should be made known to the world. There is little doubt also that Muslims would give credit to a woman for starting Islam, considering the status women hold in that religion, but by all accounts she should be credited with it. He was inclined to take no credit for it at all.

 

A basic fact almost always overlooked by Islam or any other religion in the world is that “not everything that is supernatural is Divine.” Can Satan give people visions and revelations? Let’s just say you can bet your life on it. And that is what you would have to bet but what price is the losing?

 

As for Pat Robertson’s remarks about Islam not being a peaceful religion it is certain that he is far from the first to come to that conclusion as well. Rev Franklin Graham the son of evangelist Billy Graham was one of the first voices to go on record after the events of 9/11 in New York City. If the adage that “deeds speak louder than words” is true then the radical Muslims who perpetrated the infamous deed were the first to go on record saying Islam is not a peaceful religion. Subsequent acts of terror spawned by radical Islam all over the world have kept that message alive and well ever since.

 

Over 600 homes and many churches in the town of Tentena a province of Central Sulawesi were burned down or destroyed by jihad driven Islam. The group called “Laskar  Jihad” in that region is said to be bent on the destruction of all Christianity since November of 2001. Over 15,000 Christians have fled the area since then. In Indonesia alone over 9000 Christians have been killed or uprooted since 1999. That’s a heck of a record for a so called “peaceful religion” Is anybody listening?

 

How can the most educated generation in the history of the world not notice that the Islamic jihad is part of the message of the Quran itself?  It is the doctrine of Islam and is central to all Islamic view and behavior. If the constitution of the United States had as one of its tenants the destruction of every other political system in the world wouldn’t somebody notice that? If the Bible had a New Testament call for the death of anyone who wouldn’t believe it, would any one take note of that? Yet we are asked to ignore the very essence of the writings of the Quran in favor of a promise that after all “Islam is a peaceful religion.” There is a word for this juvenile notion and in keeping with its juvenile premise lets just say that word is “baloney”

 

Muhammad went into a cave and since he came out people have been dying all over the world but never so much as lately. Jesus went into a cave as a dead man and came out alive and with a message and a promise of life to anyone who would believe. Wow, what a blatant contrast. But will that change anyone’s mind on a large scale? No, it will not, but on a one to one basis it has been changing minds and hearts for centuries and it will continue to do so till the end of time. But don’t be discouraged even Jesus knew that the world would turn their backs on his greatest accomplishment and said …”If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.” Luke 16:31

 

Rev Bresciani is the author of two Christian books. One book entitled An American Prophet and His Message or Questions and Answers on the Second Coming of Christ is published by Xulon Press. He also has hundreds of articles on religion, politics, advice and current events published both online and in print.

Trinity of Truth

December 30, 2008

The conservative approach to God and his word has a kind of trinity of truth at the heart of its doctrine. All three parts of this trinity come from the Bible but together they are what can assure us that we have found a true biblical conservatism. It is not always a failsafe and at times may still produce some controversy among the believers, but it is an altogether safer platform from which to start any search for biblical truth and the salvation of God.

 

The first doctrine in the trinity of truth is found in 2 Peter 3: 16…All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Starting here is to fully recognize the authority, the inspiration and the infallibility of Gods word. This is also the best starting point from which to approach all second coming doctrine.

 

The second part of the doctrinal trinity comes from 2 Peter 1:20…Knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation: The opposite of private is public. That means there is a public interpretation among the believers. A consensus or a main stream of thought emerges concerning all Bible interpretation the world over. Just one example would be that while some think that antichrist could be only a spirit or some body politic like the UN, the larger body of Christ (the church) worldwide holds that he is just what scripture says he is…a man.

 

The third part of the doctrinal trinity, answers why the church arrives at generally the same interpretation all over the world. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you. 1 John 2:27a. The Holy Spirit teaches every believer around the world the same thing, God is not divided against himself. Thus a Spirit taught church says what its Father says, it hears the voice of its Savior, and it doesn’t hear every wind of doctrine. The church doesn’t cuddle up with every doctrinal new kid on the block. If we were to take the time to do the homework we could see that the main body of the church throughout the world comes up with just about the same interpretation of scripture, not counting the liberal church of course. That single Spirit taught, scripture trusting interpretation is what conservative means. If you stick to the conservative side of second coming doctrine you will find yourself outside of the confusing fray and that is exactly where God wants you to be.

Transitional Fossils

December 30, 2008

Transitional fossils, or the supposed lack thereof, has been used for many years by anti-evolutionists to argue against evolution. Here, I will explain what a transitional fossil is, and why it is not valid as an argument against evolution.

 

A transitional fossil shows the evolutionary development from one species to another. For example, if organism 1 existed 70 million years ago, and organism 2 shows up in the fossil record 5 million years later, then theoretically there should be intermediate species in this 5 million year gap, which shows gradual progression from one species to another. The lack of these “transitional” fossils is proof to young earth creationists that evolution is false.

 

Evolutionists have shown that indeed there are transitional fossils, and there are plenty of examples of them. For instance, see this article.1 Here is the key point…even if young earth creationists accept these examples of transitional fossils, they will still claim that there are no transitional fossils! These fossils will be called either unique species, or they will come up with some reason (disease, birth defect, etc) that accounts for the apparent transition feature.

 

Naturally, they will say, “Where are the transitional fossils between these transitional fossils?” If we had a clear fossil record, showing progression every 10,000 years for millions of years, they will not believe it, and will want the “transitional” fossils for the missing 10,000 year period. No amount of evidence will convict them that their belief is wrong.

 

The same thing could be said of progressive creationists as well. Progressive creationists believe in an old earth, but that God created each species a unique creation, and not evolved from an earlier species. I happen to be one of these myself. However, we must be careful not so say our view is the only one that is valid. Dr. Hugh Ross of the old earth ministry Reasons to Believe, has put forth many arguments against evolution. However, when you consider the possibility that within Theistic Evolution, you have God guiding the evolutionary process, then all bets are off. Yes, evolution by itself could not have happened…as Dr. Ross explains, 13.7 billion years is not nearly enough time, statistically speaking, for evolution to occur. However, with God’s supernatural intervention and guidance, it could have easily happened.

 

I’m not saying that evolution is right, but what I am saying is that with God, all things are possible, including evolution. We should not be so quick, as progressive creationists, to condemn evolution.

To Serve – or Not

December 30, 2008

Shall I serve? If I serve, who shall I serve? The young person, regardless of educational achievement, is seldom taught to ask and answer these most basic questions before others are supplying the answers. The Bible says the choice boils down to serving God or money. For most people, the distinction is easily lost. In most cases, the distinction was lost on their parents and grandparents for their entire lifetimes, so it it not a matter of age. It is certainly a matter of wisdom, which is usually in very short supply.

 

     If the choice is to serve money, the matter is greatly simplified and that is the choice most Westerners make. The common choice is to get money. That puts us in the service of money because we are paid to make money for someone else, who makes money for yet another. This is the result of a global value system which places gold and precious stones above all else and values souls and slaves as the cheapest, most disposable merchandise. Therefore, one serves God by serving that of the least value and serves money by serving anything else. To serve God is to reverse all we have observed and all we have been taught. True service is summarized by the great commandments. Love God and love your neighbor. The biblical answer to who is your neighbor is found in parable as a person in need of help. A soul and probably a slave as well. Like or unlike our selves.

 

     And who is a slave? All who serve money, by choice or by force. Herein lies the rub. How do you help slaves in need without serving the money they serve? On the global scale, this is the vexing question in economic aid. Give a poor man money through his national or local leadership and you divide your giving between the slave and his master, who is also a slave. Teach the same man to supply his own needs and he may or may not successfully withhold the fruits of his labor from his masters, for he too must make a choice.

 

     Benjamin Franklin understood that politics amount to fraud and theft. At the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention Franklin said the republic would last until the people were corrupted. He must have said this with a wink because he was witness to the corruption of the conventioners for the entire length of the convention. The conventioners arrived in Philadelphia with authority from their respective state legislatures to revise the Articles of Confederation, which made the states and their citizens the national sovereigns or ultimate power and authority. The conventioners threw the Articles out the window, decided they knew better than anyone what was needed and created a document which made the federal government sovereign, the states and citizens mere agents, servants and slaves. Because these scoundrels we call our founding fathers knew the state legislatures would never accept this political coup and power grab, the conventioners wrote provisions for ratification into the document itself. These provisions would by- pass the state legislatures by requiring committees to ratify and approve the power grab. It was a close fight. The citizens and the states lost it to the money men who would forever enslave a nation. They would call this slavery freedom to help us feel good about the whole thing and we do.

 

     The matter would not be tested until Franklin had been dead for seventy years. Thirteen states and their citizens declared they would not be the slaves of the federal government and fought a very bloody war to make the point. The masters convinced half the slaves to slaughter the other half and restore an involuntary union in the land of the free. They knew involuntary union and liberty could not co- exist. It never has, nor will it in any other part of the world. Americans are a conquered people, no less so than the natives they pushed onto reservations before and after this matter was settled. It is a fundamental of conquest that the conquered survivors and their children live at the mercy and pleasure of the conqueror, who showed mercy for their lives during the conquest. In this case, Washington D.C.. This is why no court will rule against a federal levy of money, property or persons from the citizenry. We are all federal property by right of conquest.

 

     It is not necessary to fight yet another war or violent revolution to end an oligarchy publicly desribed as a democratic republic. This is and has been a government of the people, by the money masters, for the money masters from before the ink dried on the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution made it official. All that is needed to establish a government of the people, by the people, for the people is to revise the U.S. Constitution to make it more like the old Articles of Confederation. The pen is mightier than the sword indeed, yet people are easily persuaded to use the sword because they were corrupted just as Franklin must have expected. From the first moment we accept and support corrupted leadership, we are corrupt ourselves. Because we are corrupt, we deserve slavery and the contempt of others. Likewise, the Africans who came to America on slave ships were victims of the corruption of their leaders and as the practice flourished, corrupted their selves. It was always the duty of those who remained in Africa to end the corruption of their leadership. It is the same for all of us today, everywhere in this world. We excuse the ignorant and call them innocent because they are us.

 

     We see the corruption and how money buys elections and the very laws we are commanded to obey. We smile and wink. Poltics is dirty work, but someone has to do it. Somebody will until the people change the value system and quit serving money. It is forever the people’s right to change the laws and governments they live by and the “supreme law of the land” is the great global fraud. Politics is corrupt. By definition all politicians are corrupt because the righteous do not willingly serve corruption, which brings us again to the subject of service.

 

      All military service is political and corrupt by definition. When one joins, he or she is surprised by a loyalty oath, most never heard of until they obediently “repeat after me”. The oath puts each slave in bondage to the President of the United States, whoever it may be and then the U.S. Congress after him. We are tricked into an oath whereby we swear to defend a commercial contract made by a handful of scoundrels over two hundred years ago for the slaves of that era. We swear to defend a fraud against all enemies, foreign and domestic, with no idea who is an enemy and who is a friend. It is the act of swearing any oath that holds power over us. I have pledged my sacred honor to do as I am told by any and every superior stranger in a military chain of money servants. I keep my pledge by obedience to authority, never understanding that any contract created by fraud is null and void and has no power of obligation on either contracting party. The money servants are free to change the terms and conditions of your agreement as they choose because the “supreme law” is a fraud, the government it created is a fraud and the loyalty oath we swear is a fraud. To defend a fraud is itself a fraud. Slaves have no valid contract with any fraudulent authority. The money masters know this but only a law student will ever read it in a textbook and they intend to serve money.

 

    We who have sworn a fraudulent oath, know not the truth. If and when we do understand, we can call it what it is and walk away. Doing so would likely result in undeserved punishments and make of us an enemy of the fraud, so we wait for our contract to expire and ponder the lesson learned. We keep our mouths shut and warn no one of the fraud. To do so is un patriotic, which means a patriot is any person who promotes and supports the money fraud. He or she declares the patriot kills and dies for freedom and justice when in fact, the patriot believes this as he or she kills and dies for money. The money masters define our words and the truth is too horrible to admit. A dishonor to the deceived. Untold millions are duped in every generation. Not one patriot will ever suggest we change the “supreme law” and dissolve this great commercial slave enterprise that one might be able to serve both God and nation. That one might value souls and slaves above gold and precious stones.

 

     Workers seldom check the habits, ethics and morals of employers before they contract for employment. This is why they deserve whatever treatment they receive and probably worse. They are corrupt. They do not care who or what they serve. They care for the money they receive in exchange for their service. They have likely spent many years in schools, learning HOW to serve. Learning obedience to illegitimate, presumed authority. Training to serve the money masters in their military and in their factories. Scripture tells us “train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” No one knows the truth of this better than the money masters. One generation trains the next to serve the money masters and it all works like a well oiled money machine. Because, just because.

 

     I am not saying money cannot be used to serve God. I am saying that rarely happens. I am saying the truth of our labor is too painful to bear, so we prefer all the comforting fraud. We smile and we wink. We try hard not to rock the money boat. We choose to serve money and we love neither God nor neighbor in money’s service. Better any God of love be forgotten. There is much work to be done. Many people to deceive. Many people to devalue.

To Manifest Faster Results You Must Learn to Detach

December 30, 2008

Detaching from the outcome is by far the hardest step to manifesting what you want.  If you examined the core failure for most people it is the inability to let go and trust that what they want will absolutely come.  If you are successfully able to detach from the fear that it may not happen you will yield outstanding results. 

 

Have you ever noticed that the things you like but don’t care too very much about happen very fast?  Maybe you have the desire to meet a particular friend, you think about him or her and your desire is quite strong but you are not worried or stress out about it.  Maybe later that day someone tells you that they met that person and he or she would like to find you too.  This sort of thing happens every day in our lives but we disregard it as a coincidence.  Truly this is the art of manifesting.

 

Fear and worry rules the lives of most people and if you are unable to detach from the illusion of tomorrow and first see where you are in the moment then you are unlikely to be successful at manifesting what you want.

 

Where ever you are and whatever you are feeling now in this moment is creating your reality.  How then do you detach from what you want and still manifest it?  You can start by letting go of the feeling that the thing you want is a necessity to your life.  You are probably saying right now that it is a necessity but I am here to say to you that it is not.

 

No matter what you want there are options that you have not explored and what you want is simply only one of the many life experiences that you can have.  First find the beauty in what you are presently experiencing in the moment.  Do a self inquirey and the moment you do it will free you up to manifest faster.  Follow this tried and tested series of questions and most of all get a notebook and begin to write it all out.  Writing it out confirms it and brings it to the surface of your conscious mind where it can be processed.

 

1. Willfully choose to see the beauty in everything which you experience, even the hard and difficult things.

 

2. Make a list of the good things that have come out of hard and difficult situations in your life.

 

3. Allow yourself to see the qualities within your present experience and how those very qualities will enhance what you are aiming to manifest.  Without those present conditions or qualities you may not be able to get what it is you are wishing and hoping to attract.

 

4. The moment you begin to see that there is great wealth and beauty in your present conditions then and only then can you transcend the situation and truly manifest.

 

5. Your experiences are waiting for you to acknowledge them.  Denying them keeps you stuck in a cycle and prevents you from manifesting other things. 

 

6. The greatest good comes out of the darkest circumstances.  Love the dark as it contains the most light.

 

7. Your present conditions are actually molding you for the dream of tomorrow.  Bless all parts of your life now and you will be amazed at what will happen to the dreams that you are choosing to manifest.
