An Introduction

I was raised Christian (Pentecostal). One Sunday, when I was about 15 years old (in the year 1994 or 1995), I was in church with my mother, ...

Glory

For the last couple of days I've been thinking about the glory of God. I've been debating if I should even discuss it, because no one can yet hear, but it has been on my mind. I remembered something recently. The first time a spacecraft ever flew in response to something I said, it was in reference to the glory of God. Those spacecrafts had already been flying overhead, but in 2006 I believe, I said, "Your glory is in the sky", and a spacecraft flew very fast. I was perplexed, so I said it again, "Your glory is in the sky", and a spacecraft flew very fast. Then for months, they only flew in response to the things I was discussing.

Even though I said, "Your glory is in the sky", I didn't yet have understanding of what I saying, but they did, and I just so happened to be right without even understanding why I was right.

Only God can glorify God. All things exist, both light and dark, both moving and still, for God's glory. Lip service is never ever required. In fact, man cannot glorify God; only God can glorify God (even through man, a rock, an ant, or a dog). If God could be glorified through man, then God could also be unglorified and brought low by man.

If God wants a tree chopped down, then the tree can be chopped down without a single person knowing God's desire.

Is the glorification of oneself selfish? By definition, yes. If we could compare, we seek pleasure by eating rich foods, and playing card games, and painting, and understanding the unknown, and allowing others to lick and rub our genitals - all for our own glory. Even if it were possible to be completely selfless, you'd have to have the desire to do so. No one prefers to exist doing the things they hate to do - God surely does not. God is no tyrant and certainly no slave.

Glorification is absolutely 100% harmful if done without care (for oneself and others). God does nothing without care, even abandoning a race of people (humanity) for thousands and thousands of years.

God can only be God, and you won't find any half-stepping with God (a bullshitter who has no intention in completing what was started). The tree-stump known as Jesus may heal you from whatever ails you at the moment (as you have prayed and believed), but your whole existence and being knows your days are numbered. This is Jesus half-stepping; healing the wounds of the dying dead.

For God to glorify you is for God to glorify who you are; for God to glorify you is for God to glorify God. There is only death and eternal life, and God is honest and severe and glorified in both.

Perhaps for the sake of clarity: there were these dogs who spent so much time with mankind that their bodies changed, and they learned how to talk. Learning to talk, they learned how to write. The dogs became so curious about their own existence, that they began to seek understanding, but only for a time. The dogs began to make up stories to fill in the vacuum of information. They also began making up arbitrary rules, even convincing one another that it was wrong to bark. Something being wrong for long enough epochs became a sin - a sin which the dog lord hated. So the dogs refused to bark, even when they had the urge to. They then enforced rules of marriage and life-long monogamy - so no more humping the legs of men, that was a sin too. According to their stories, the dog lord promises to eternally shove a hot curling iron up the ass of the dog who humps the leg of a human. The un-dogs became judgmental and even inflicted violence on the dogs who barked. Male dogs who mounted other male dogs were beaten, shot, stabbed or hanged (depending on the area of the world they were in).

But then there were these other dogs who knew that they knew nothing, but who wanted to know things without making anything up. They barked, and played, and humped whomever allowed themselves to be humped. Even with the little that they understood about their own existence and the existence of God, they refused to lie to themselves or make anything up; they only believed what was in their face. Those were the dogs of God's favor; those were the dogs who believed the little of God and were given more; those were the dogs with which God was willing to share eternal life.

A dog is a dog, and God has never expected it to be anything else.

Tweets - June 18th - Inequity and Lessons

Not long after I posted my last tweet, I became under the impression that all of those spacecrafts I saw were representative of people. That's what makes sense right now based on my own reasoning.

I needed to remind myself that I have absolutely no control over the situation. People may in part cling to God and desire the Garden of God, but they may also cling to the status quo. This wouldn't be so much of a problem if the status quo didn't perpetuate so much harm and inequity, and SO MANY forms of injustice.  All I can do is make things plain to them - light up the path and be a voice of caution - they will do with that information as they see fit. I remember my stubbornness and my insistence on doing things my way - it was humiliating, it was painful, and I imagine at times it left a bad taste in the mouths of folk who walk with God (on Earth and above). BUT it did also allow me to foresee and to understand God in ways I previously hadn't. I could only be myself, and I do not regret any of it (not anymore).

It has been interesting watching people perceive the world in ways they had never considered before. Inequity ain't cheap - it's costly in the long run. I myself would only teach lessons on decency and faithfulness to people who want to learn (to walk with God is to walk in liberty). But those who don't want to learn have to be taught as well - it just won't be me teaching them. You are what God makes you to be, and there is no way everyone will be able to survive God's lessons on human decency. If God is willing to split the unsplittable stone for me, then God is also willing to turn the stone into iron for the sake of decency and justice. God is capable of teaching lessons to people who refuse to learn anything (of course there will be exceptions, and you'll find them in cemeteries and mounds of dirt).

It was God who created the conditions that would allow injustice to grow and thrive. Have you seen some other world? It was not man who chose to abandon God, but it was God who chose to abandon man. As such, you have no control over God's decisions. You cannot choose God, God chooses you (or not). Grace is truly grace when it comes to the Living God, and not that substitute forgery that the bible peddles as "grace", where we must follow a long list of commands in order to make an exchange for God's "kindness and mercy". Me slobbing some guys knob is like burning the lord's cash and receiving my one-way ticket to hell (such a "spirit of fear" is inherent in religion and her many gospels).

There are tools of inequity in this place based solely on ideologies (such as gender and race) and this world has been darkened by them. There is just no way God is going to be partnered with the will of man and his many judgments - not until lessons are learned. I am not concerned in any case. You see, God requires faith, but it is God who makes the leap first; nothing more is required from you than what you are given.

Tweets - June 7th - Thanking

When we know, we teach; but we are all students, we are all always students. Whenever you boast, you boast imperfect; whatever you lift, you lift incomplete.

Last night, I was thanking God for making things in such a way that there are always opportunities to move forward; always opportunity to learn more and understand new things. When I thanked God, I didn't use "always" temporally, I did so as someone who stands in life eternal.

If anyone is going to be completing anything in this place, it will be God; for God, through God, and to God. Nothing is separate from God.


==========================================================

What looked like 30 or so spacecrafts flew overhead tonight (I'll admit, I'm not 100% sure they weren't satellites). They all flew in the same direction, some at different times, speeds, and starting points (from my point of view) - coming toward me, but flying overhead.

The one in the lead (which wasn't the first I saw) was the brightest, but flickered; the second (which caught my eye first) was less bright, and the rest were dim.

As the 30 were finishing, gun shots were fired in the distance, and a bright spacecraft flew (and it was certainly a spacecraft) but flew in a different direction. And there were others that flew.

That last noticeable 2 that flew, flew in parallel, but toward each other and passed each other. Not sure what to make of it all yet.

As I reread this, I'm thinking that not knowing whether the 30 or so were angels or not was intentional and part of the message.

Going back over my memory. When I saw the first spacecraft (which was the second brightest, and not in the lead), I thought it was a spacecraft, and I initially thought the flickering one was also a spacecraft.

But as I saw more and more dim ones that flew, I became less and less convinced that any of them were spacecrafts. When I voiced my uncertainty, I received no response - only more dim spacecrafts.

Tweets - June 3rd - Laws

All laws are man-made; they are made up by people sitting in seats. They aren't divine edicts from some tyrant out of heaven - you can freely oppose bad laws, freely disagree with unjust laws.

Just because a law gives you the right to kill or do harm for the sake of capital, it does not actually justify you, and it certainly does not make you a decent human being.

Joe Blow in a seat says it's OK to shoot someone stealing a toaster. The law of Joe is the law of Joe, and one day he and his law will be gone.

There is no law nor capital nor commodity more valuable than an individual's life; any law which protects and defends a system that says otherwise is an unjust law, and its proponents are workers of indecency.

How would you feel if God exchanged you for a toaster? Your children were as valuable as a microwave?
