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 - October 22nd - Toxic Soil and Water

You ever notice how there's always something awry with the Lord's plans. Every time he tells mankind to do something - anything - it always ends up with millions of people being raped, attacked, assaulted, oppressed, or killed - every time.

Doesn't even matter the religion - pick one and see plainly what I mean. You'd think the Lord would have known better before opening his mouth. It's almost as if he's as clueless and myopic as mankind and couldn't foresee any of these things beforehand.

When dealing with the harmful violent foolishness of this world, we consider that you reap what you sow; but as we all know, this isn't always true.

We have no individual control over the web of rules and laws we're bound by through threats and violence - most of which none of us agreed to; and we have no control over toxic soil and water being our only option to sow into. So sometimes you sow peace and you reap destruction.

This made me question how God will deal with something like this. Will God completely destroy the soil and water so that we'll build anew (learning lessons along the way)?

Or will we be destroying the toxic soil and water (all through hands that are faithful and loving-careful, and through minds that are sound and unperturbed)?

A spacecraft flew tonight and confirmed the latter by shining brightly. It's been a few months since I've seen them for sure, let alone, shine brightly.

Tweets - October 10th - Fear and Worry

My faith is in God's mercy. My trust is in God's mercy, not just in God's ability. I don't know God's plans or Christ's plans, and that's always been OK, because I am only required to trust in God's mercy.

Hell is only going to get hotter; it must. It is about to get a lot hotter here. If the tiny flame from afar torments me day and night, how much more will the up-close burning building terrify me?

I am always being spared and always being healed, and I have not yet been denied God's mercy. 

None of this is to say that the flames haven't caused me alarm. Even now, sometimes a bubble of "what could be" comes up to the surface. They've even caused me one bad dream. But I know I never need to fear the future - all these things belong to God.

To be clear, I am not saying that I won't endure awful and painful things, but I am saying that these things belong to God and to God's purpose, so they won't be able to destroy me (perpetually) and I have never needed to invest worry in them.

With fear and worry comes judgment and condemnation. "I'll draft you into war and require you to carry a gun; and if you don't, I'll have you locked up and your liberties denied," said Fear and Worry.

As for the fires I've caused... Justice continues to be required, and even then, I've relied on God's mercy to help me see through to the end what I began, and I have not yet been denied.

For me, I was never going to do anything else - I was only ever going to be myself in this regard.

After reading my last thread, I noticed it reads differently depending if one thinks I'm speaking to myself or if one thinks I'm speaking to others. I am speaking to others.
