Tweets - April 23rd - Attentive Care

What I have been given, also, is attentive care. Ongoing, always, attentive care. I am never denied. I am given attentive care because I, as a human being, require ongoing unending attentive care.

When you provide attentive care in this place, it means abuse. You will be humiliated, kicked, spat on, slapped, punched, have objects thrown at you, cursed out, insulted, and lied about. In all this, I am not concerned, because I am also given attentive care; ongoing, always, attentive care; FAR more than I could ever give.

No one receives more abuse than God, for thousands and thousands of years no one is more dragged than God - and still God says "Yes" to us all because these things are only endured for a short time - and because God is care; and yes, thousands and thousands of years is a short time in the grand scheme of things (eternal life).

Tweets - April 8th - Healings and Afflictions

I am more and more convinced that the healing I've seen regarding the dermatitis on my scalp was not because of God (directly) but because of the significant decrease in stress and depression over the last few years. In 2020 when I began to have a clearer understanding of faithfulness and began to truly walk by faith, it affected the way I perceived things and the way I approached life - significantly so, and I began to no longer be impacted by things that caused me distress in prior years.

It is amazingly interesting how some afflictions are taken away instantly, and others are allowed to be endured for years. I am so thankful for the beginning of understanding; it is always the beginning of understanding for me. And I am so grateful that I am able to walk in the counsel and the wisdom of Christ, and the angels, and everyone else who has walked with God for so very long.

The word of God to me is always, "YES", it is always, "YES!".

We have no control over God's decisions. Making requests (prayer), doing good, these things have no bearing on God's decisions. When we are healed, we are healed simply because God wants to heal us, and because doing so isn't destructive (in the long run). How can healing be destructive? Well, it would depend on the person being healed. For most, coming out of religious cultures, it would send so many wrong messages and God would encourage lies and awful behaviors: "I am healed [because I am good; because I help the poor; because I help the sick; because I am holy; because I follow the laws and commandments of my religion/God; because I descend from Abraham; because I am better than; because I destroy God's enemies; because I lead people to God; because I worship; because I understand the scriptures; etc.]" - and any other reason besides, "I am healed because God wanted to heal me."

When walking with God, there is NOTHING that God does for us that doesn't build us up. All things are for our up-building. God's deeds have instructed us in the way we should walk: heal and be mindful; heal even though people do nothing to deserve it; heal because it is who you are; do good in justice (healing and kindness should not prevent nor destroy what is good, nor should it encourage bad behaviors). Our afflictions, whether non-existent, temporary or persistent, are for our salvation. Afflictions are the fear and devastation of this people who are without God, because such things ultimately lead to the destruction of the mind and body, and then death; but for us, our struggles and our afflictions perfect the Garden of God, and they are the method by which we are being saved to life eternal and by which the world is being saved. Our afflictions instruct us to lean on God and walk by faith, so there is no fear or shame in them, and from them there is no burden that God will not remove. "YES!!!"

So my joy and celebration are in both my healings and my afflictions, because God is being glorified through them all; and when God is gloried, whole worlds are saved.

Why did Jesus want to be baptized?

Oftentimes the simplest answer is the correct answer. One would think that Jesus being baptized by John (the Baptist) would destroy the Church's idea of Jesus's "perfection" - but no - not if the Church or her religion had the final say (and they did for 2000 years).

"John [the Baptist] appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins." ~ Mark 1:4

"In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan." ~ Mark 1:9

According to Josephus the historian, John called for Jews to seek God for forgiveness and vow to show unending kindness toward one another, and to walk humbly God - things John saw lacking in his generation - then baptizing them so that the cleanliness of their outer parts would symbolically match the cleanliness of their forgiven and changed inner parts. The person being baptized had already repented for the harmful acts they committed, and it was understood (by Jews) that the person being baptized was already forgiven.

Why then did Jesus want to be baptized?

"As Jesus was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and asked him, 'Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?'. And Jesus said to him, 'Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.'" ~ Mark 10:18

Yeshua (Jesus) repented, and he was forgiven by God, and he went to John to be baptized because he recognized his deficiencies as a decent human being.

When God began to walk with Yeshua, he knew he was forgiven and this experience humbled him - as being forgiven by God humbles you because of the way God treats you from that point onward.

The God of Yeshua then is the same God of Yeshua now. Forgiveness is a perpetual deed and act.

Yeshua clung to the Laws of liberty and human decency and not the laws of Moses (certainly not those parts which contradict the Laws of liberty and decency).

So Yeshua didn't go get baptized because he plucked heads of grain on a Saturday or because he partied with prostitutes and refused to perform religious fasts - he had long since been forgiven.

Wisdom is earned. He went because there were times in his life when his only focus was himself and he treated people like shit. "Why do you call me good?" (Such a question requires introspection and a ton of realizations, and Yeshua both taught and teaches from his experiences.)

The church, and the Matthew, Mark, and Luke gospel writers were uncomfortable with Yeshua's baptism and - being the religious spinners they were - they turned his baptism into a mystical event (spirits, voices, and doves), whereas the gospel of John, though mentioning John the Baptist and the mystical elements of previous gospels, leaves out the baptism of Yeshua altogether. "Enough time has passed, so let's just act like it never happened." ~ Gospel of John

Though Yeshua may now be as close as one can get to being "good", he certainly wasn't back then.

He learned and understood mercy and human decency because he experienced mercy and decency from the Living God - and he exclaimed this merciful power to a faithless unrepentant godless generation.

It is an amazing thing then that God never required perfection from us in order to save us from godless despair and death. God never required faith from us in order for God to be faithful. God never required mercy from us in order for God to be merciful.

The church thoroughly destroyed itself and erased any good and decent knowledge of God it once had; this is evident in their scriptures.

Any understanding of salvation was gone - though forever visible in the salvation of Yeshua - their Jesus became such a perfect idol that they did the religious spin on salvation (being aware of their own despair, perceiving their own demise) and turned salvation into an afterlife and a lie, exchanging the faithful power of God for absolutely nothing. Any mercy from God would have to wait until after you schemed and fought your way through this hell and finally dropped dead.

Or maybe on some future date, there'll be a rapture - some time in the distance where God is finally, at long last, not an evil uncaring bastard and poor excuse of a "father". This "salvation" was always a worthless lie and has added no good thing to this world.

God is not with you, not right now.  You receive no good and eternal thing from God, and you have the same portion as everyone else in this place. Your fears and your despairs are your testimony.

When you see God walking with you, I'm telling you, you won't need any book or lengthy sermon to tell you that God loves the world.

Tweets - February 20th

What an interesting display. I wasn't speaking with heaven about anything in particular, nor was I thinking about anything that I could reference.

A spacecraft became luminous and flew very slowly and grew brighter. As it became brighter and brighter, 2 more spacecrafts became luminous - one to the far rear left and one to the far rear right - so all 3 spacecrafts formed an equilateral triangle and flew at the same speed, but the triangle was tilted (so that from my point of view, the spacecraft on the far rear right was higher in the sky than the spacecraft on the rear left). The 2 rear spacecrafts became brighter, each at their own pace, but not as bright as the one in the lead.

The lead spacecraft's light dimmed out of sight, then the spacecraft on the rear left dimmed out sight, then finally the spacecraft on the rear right dimmed out of sight.

Tweets - February 10th - Look for the Garden

You can talk to God about any and everything. Let your left hand and your right hand both pave the way toward the Garden of God (faithfulness, justice, and uplifting care); look for the Garden in everything you do. You'll only need to walk and wait for God.

When you are trapped, in distress, you only need to do justice (think about things and set right what you can set right) and patiently wait for God. Your delight in living is the Garden of God and the Glory of God.

A spacecraft flew tonight and shone brightly.

Soon, these children will cling to the Living God - in an hour that is acceptable to God - they will be permitted to know God and see God even though they did not seek God.

Their faith, their trust, their justice, their love, their sincerity, their strength, and their integrity will rest solely on the power of God, and not on the wisdom, ego, craftiness, or strength of any man.

Tweets - February 7th - Younger

I stopped smoking cigarettes maybe 8 years ago, and I stopped drinking alcohol almost 5 years ago. I was sitting with 2 friends a few weeks ago, one older (20 years my senior) and one a few years younger. I hadn't seen my older friend since January 2020.

While sitting, my older friend turned to me and asked, "Kelvin, has anyone told you how much younger you look since you stopped drinking and smoking?". He then turned to my younger friend and asked, "Doesn't Kelvin look much younger?"

I certainly feel the changes in my skin, and I think I see changes in my muscles, but I don't know if I see them in my face. I do see that my face is smaller (as I changed my diet 6 years ago), and maybe that's what my friend saw.

I am glad that Christ saw fit to begin in me these changes years after I changed my drinking, smoking, and eating habits, so there would be no ambiguity.

Tweets - January 12th - Garden of God

The Garden of God: Support systems of support systems of support systems of support systems (Community). It is merciful ingenuity. You are never ever alone. It is faithful, upbuilding, and healing trust in friends, in lovers, in strangers, in oneself, and in the Living God.
