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, ...

Tweets - July 31st - Truth being told

People have been so ashamed, so deeply ashamed at the awful destruction they've caused. Their indecency will not allow them to repair or restore, so they cover up their filth with 6 feet of dirt and overlay it with cement, and they stand tall and unapologetically, convincing the world that "nothing else was possible".

But Yahweh is truth. God is open and honest about how God feels about humanity. God goes out with brick and mortar and paves many paths for mankind, and each of those paths lead to a single destination: the grave.

It is the word of God, the severity of God, that the whole world understands clearly. This is faith established on God's power - it is branded in you - there is no doubt in you. It requires no explanation from any prophet. The word of God is heavy.

But Yahweh is truth. Getting to know God over the years, I've understood that devastation from God's brutal honesty was part of the future of this place.

This will require the truth being told, and we are going to watch people perish trying to stop God from digging up graves of truths. No one resurrects the Truth quite like the Living God.

Tweets - July 27th - Pain

Is there a heavier seed of doubt than pain? Physical pain? Perhaps fear? Maybe they weigh the same for some people and differently for others. There's always opportunities to learn and understand, to see just a bit more clearly.

You know, God is faithful. The faithfulness of God is triumphant. The power of faith heals through pain (and fear, and blemish, and discomfort) - even in spite of it, I've learned. Doubt seems to only delay the inevitable.

Tweets - July 26th - Capitalism

This is precisely why capitalism requires a pool of unemployed out-of-workers to pull from. If there aren't people out of work, then you must pull people from other employers by enticing them with hiring wages.

https://twitter.com/blckculturenews/status/1286472667240050696

If McDonald's begins to lack workers and needs to pull those people back, they'll need to up their salaries. In order to up folks salaries, they have to charge more for items (a $2 loaf of bread now costs $6).

Capitalism cannot thrive on perpetual salary wars - it would fluctuate and collapse the economy quickly - so it must thrive on poverty and oppression instead (which so leads to violence, slums, ghettos, and weaponized police).

To ensure there is always a pool of unemployed out-of-workers to pull from, we have what is known as an "ideal rate of unemployment", which requires (ideally) 3 to 5% of the population to live below the poverty line and be actively looking for full-time work.

This 3 to 5% does not account for people who have given up looking for work - as we know, people barely making ends meet and the homeless account for more than 3% of the population.

The Federal Reserve (in the US) is responsible for managing the supply of money and lending to banks.

The Federal Reserve is also responsible for stimulating the economy by ensuring that "ideal rate of unemployment" never rises or drops below ~5% (so that pulling employees from McDonald's is only a rare occurrence and not the norm).

They do this by hiking up the interest rates of their loans (to banks), and by raising the federal funds rate (the interest rate at which banks lend to one another), when they need to ensure more people are out of work and rely on welfare.

Higher interest rates ensure that less money is requested (by banks, businesses, and consumers - houses, cars, personal businesses, etc).

On the opposite end, when the unemployment rate is too high, the Federal Reserve drops interest rates so that more banks, businesses, and consumers request more money (which leads to higher spending and more people employed and paid).

In March, the Federal Reserve dropped the fed funds rate to 0% due to the pandemic. Right now, I believe it stands at about 0.25%.

Therefore, according to the laws of Capitalism the Unjust, the Unmerciful, there can never be full-employment. This means that the police, violence, poverty, and laws designed to discourage rather than uplift will always be with us.

A week or 2 ago there were these 2 spacecrafts that flew together, then this very bright spacecraft came into view and remained bright as it flew across the sky (reminded me of a closer Venus). It wasn't part of any conversation - from my end.

I have been so very grateful over this period (whatever this period is) - being on the receiving end of mercy, kindness, and gentleness.

And I have been so thankful to God, not because I have anything more than I've ever had, but because I've been made to realize what I've had all along. I lack no good thing and I never need to ask God for anything. God is glorified through my efforts just because God wants to be.

Tweets - July 18th - Dreams

A few months ago, after I had that dream about the dead bodies of all those black youth floating in water, it was the first time I had considered that some of those dreams I had could have possibly/likely been from flying lying devils. I just never considered it before then.

https://sanctuaryforjustice.org/2019/12/dream-of-black-youth-december-12th.html

I suppose if those deceivers were going to toss a wrench into some plan, now would be the time.

I don't have a very deep imagination - so I am easily impressed, entertained, and awed. My friends sometimes would mock me because I'm not a good story-teller; I'd tell a story, but there'd be no punch line or climax, and they'd sit there and look at me like I'd have more to add.

So when I had those dreams all those years ago, I woke up easily in awe - even when disturbed by some of them.

For the sake of reference: http://junyabell.blogspot.com/2008/03/dream-of-future.html. I considered it "the distant future", because of how unrealistic it sounded to me to happen in this generation.

Some of those dreams were remarkable - revealing the exiled Earth among beacons of light in this populated universe (months before the messengers began flying overhead); showing all of humanity standing before a 300-foot tall mirror, and our only reflection was death (something like a grim reaper); introducing me to the understanding of Eternal Life and salvation from death (it was an "Ohhhh!!" moment for sure).

Dreams themselves make for poor prophecy, I've stubbornly learned - and a dreamer can be a worthless destructive prophet.

According to Jeremiah, ancient Israel was filled with them, before God delivered some to the sword and shackled the rest by their ankles and dragged them out. And that was the end of that! Hindsight and understanding God are a more clear way to see forward.

Tweets - July 8th - Healing and Justice

Several spacecrafts flew overhead tonight, but there were 2 messages. While thinking to myself, "I am actively being healed", a spacecraft became luminous and very bright, and flew straight upward (from my point of view). I haven't seen them do that in years.

I'm not always "on", but my flesh seems to be healing on its own at times. Makes me wonder if this is like riding a bike - where I pedal for a while, and then the bike coasts for a while; or is there active involvement from above. I suppose there could be a control group.

I remember being healed in the past, but it wasn't because of faith or trust, and the change was quicker and dramatic, which isn't what is happening right now. (What I'm experiencing now is different; what's happening now is childlike faith.)

I wrote this in September 2009, at a time when I thought angels received esoteric revelation from God (I mention this because I am always moving forward, and there are things I understand today that I didn't understand yesterday).

Last year in July, my wisdom tooth in the lower left part of my mouth was in pain. The pain became so intense that I could barely even eat. I told my boss, my mother, and my friends that I would have to have a dentist remove my tooth. I went on Youtube to see if there were videos of people having their wisdom teeth removed, and the process it took. One common method involved cutting the gums, drilling holes in the tooth, and taking it out piece by piece. Another common method involved taking a hammer and chisel to the tooth in somewhat of a barbaric manner, and pulling out the pieces. Both methods made me nervous. But the pain was so intense that it would wake me up several times at night. So I went outside one night and asked Yahweh if He could help me. I looked to my God, to see if He would send His messengers to help me. I knew that Yahweh would protect me from harm, but I never knew what He could do with a painful tooth - nor did I ever think about it before that time.
I explained to Yahweh that I did not want to go through the surgery, and that I would wait a little while for Him, because the pain was so unbearable. No messengers flew across the sky to tell me that God would help me. So I just went inside and eventually went to sleep. The next day, or maybe 2 days later, the pain was significantly less, and it didn't hurt bad to eat. This continued for the next 2 or 3 days. After these 2 or 3 days, there was no more pain at all. So I stuck my finger in the back of my mouth to see if it would hurt then; not only did I not feel any pain, but when I rubbed my gums I could feel that my tooth had changed position.

Later, I was thinking about justice and saw another spacecraft that was flying very slowly. I was thinking about how justice (true justice) does not require fear - as people tremble and shake at the thought of what these people call "justice".

These prison systems, and death sentences, and having your hands and feet chopped off because some legislator and a poor excuse of a god can't fathom mercy or the complexities of human experiences and emotions.

Fear makes transparency seem like a ridiculously stupid idea. Who would ever submit to transparency and willingly be held accountable in this place?

While the spacecraft was flying, I asked, "Would you agree that justice does not require fear?" - and the spacecraft became brighter and brighter in confirmation.

Tweets - July 7th - Community and Trust

Community is the way forward towards creative social, communal, and individual goals; community is the way to justice, and therefore peace.

What community means is that a lot of people would no longer be doing what they hate for 40+ hours each and every week - submitting to authority while chasing dangling carrots until you can hopefully retire by 65.

This then means that a lot of wealthy people would no longer be able to maintain wealth (such as excessively large homes and luxury yachts) and this government would no longer be as wealthy as it is currently.

Without wealth, there is no American military industrial complex. Big guns require big money. Far too many atrocious and violent injustices have been committed for all to be forgotten. To many mothers and sons have been bombed and blasted out of existence for all to be forgiven.

Communities require trust - it is literally step 1. For regional and global communities alike, there must first be justice and restoration - this is the only beginning of trust.

If truth and justice are not options for each and every person, if the most overlooked person has no way to address their concern for a real solution, then you're damned in whatever you do and you're damned in whatever you don't do.

Though hindsight is 20/20 foresight, it appears that prophecy can also come about through faith. Faith itself is a product of hindsight, so this makes sense. This reminds me of the commutative and associative laws of mathematics ((a + b) + c = a + (b + c)).

And when I say, "faith", I mean "trust" - the way a young child trusts its mother. Not "faith" as in feelings, opinions, and beliefs. Faith is a product of hindsight (experience).

Tweets - July 5th

Since the end of May, I've wondered if these protests are the searing hot coals I mentioned, or should I expect something else? If these are the hot coals, then we should expect to be moving forward.

Everything can be improved upon; this is your work. All systems require attention and maintenance; nothing runs forever without care; when this attentive care ceases, the system begins to shut down and fall apart and its parts are used for other purposes.

The Garden of God is a community, and all communities require solidarity and unity and purpose. But this world is no Garden. Unfortunately, in a world like ours, the most assured path to solidarity is catastrophe.

But before the heat of the fire comes, there is light; there is opportunity to make decisions.

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

I could be wrong. I just found out that heat and light travel at the same speed.

Tweets - July 3rd

The messengers have been flying nearly every night since the end of March. There was one night I recall that I didn't see them - a storm was approaching, and I didn't spend much time outside that evening. But every other night they made themselves noticeable over the town.

There have been very subtle changes in my flesh, and if I didn't see and feel the details of my body everyday, I wouldn't notice. It's like the sum of many small parts.

Very subtle changes, such as the softening of my skin (which I had considered) and the softening of the soles of my feet (which I had not considered).

There is one change that has been subtle but noticeable in the mirror - and I have been taking pictures since before the changes began (because God is God, and the visible mercy of God is the foundation of my faith - so this change would have been the only possible outcome, and it only made sense to me to start taking pictures before the changes began).

I am wowed by the changes (I walked out of the bathroom yesterday with an uncontrollable closed-lip smile), but the reasons for my joy would not be shared and would go unnoticed. So I'll likely post at a time I am more fully astonished.
