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 - February 7th - Have Faith in God

Poverty within a community, nation, or world of plenty IS oppression. Poverty, by reason, is restriction from having what you need to have (which includes joy and pleasure) due to a lack of abilities. Poverty is an accumulation of inabilities.

By this reasoning, one could consider physical disabilities, impairments, deformities, "ugliness", and decrepitness, forms of poverty; and they are. But these forms of poverty have been an acceptable poverty because (as far as you're concerned) nothing can be done about them outside of medical and scientific achievements. But when something can be done about them, those achievements become synonymous with justice, and any restriction to said achievements or procedures become an injustice; and then there is much anger and protest.

The billionaire isn't least in poverty - by reasoning - because of their assets or money in the bank, they are least in poverty because of their lack of inabilities. They can obtain resources, have few inhibitions to space, and they create their own opportunities; taking ownership of all these things.

Some would suggest that poverty is due to a lack of opportunities, where the solution is often stated: "Let us end barriers to opportunities where they exist, and create opportunities where they don't exist." This is typical and true from the perspective of exploiting someone for someone else's gain (being at the mercy of those who both wield and gatekeep opportunity), but poverty goes beyond the lack of opportunity. Poverty (like most forms of oppression) is enforced through legislation and the management of the money supply.

We require a more universal solution, a kinder solution. We require abilities, and most importantly, we require empathy.

I've been trying to wrap my head around ways that people can build systems based on mercy and equity without actually requiring people to truly care for the wellbeing of their neighbors (local, regional, and global neighbors) - but this doesn't make much sense. What I mean is that I don't see how this world can continually cling to individualism and policies that encourage competing for resources while, at the same time, caring for the equal ground of everyone (not just the few, not just the many, but everyone).

The Garden of God is liberation from poverty in all its awful forms.

It is becoming more and more clear to me that the "path" will be empathy. I've always figured the "path" would be human decency - acts of uplifting care - but it wasn't clear to me until recently that this would need to be deeply ingrained in the hearts of humanity in the form of empathy. What this means is that this world, this race, requires devastation.

Little children, it's almost time to let go of the fear of the unknown and have faith in God. A new pain will be your learning experience, but when God takes hold of your hand, you never need to let go in fear. Have faith in God.

Tonight while outside, I thought about the message given to Brent regarding the back-to-back hurricanes that would turn the southern US into a swamp, and a spacecraft flew. It slowly became more and more bright as it flew. Then I thought to myself, "perhaps that is just the beginning or just part of the message" and I thought about China and east Asia, and a spacecraft dipped out of the sky and shined brightly for a few seconds before going dim. I wasn't given anything else on the matter, which leads me to think that I have a say in some of these things (along with Yeshua - who has much more say - and along with everyone who seek the Garden of God in this world).

As I've said before, you can never be too sure who's speaking with you - but because of the lack of authoritativeness of these messages and the understanding of what's been on my mind these last few weeks, I do think these were truthful angels.

There were other spacecrafts that flew, I was even pinged (where the spacecraft drops really fast overhead and shines exceedingly bright for a second) - but I don't have clarity in those messages.
