Tweets - November 3rd - Can I share a thing

Something I shared on Facebook. It was really in response to something one of my cousins wrote: "Prayer works"

Can I share a thing?

We don't have any control over God's decisions, not from the beginning until now. None of our actions dictate God's choices. This is evident in what we see, what we have always seen. To say that God works to do a thing because we pray for it just isn't true. It may be what we hope for, but it isn't what we see.

The great genie granted us our wishes because we rubbed his lamp in all the right ways, and now we are never sick, we never suffer in our labors, and we never die.

We know there is no genie. God is severely honest with us, and has made plain to us that God is no genie.

Am I saying that God doesn't answer prayers? No I am not. But I am saying that God is honest with us about how God feels about us. I am saying that God will have mercy on whomever God wants to have mercy. The choice is God's alone, not yours, not your mother's, not your ancestors', not because you are good, not because you help the poor, not because you help the sick, not because you are holy, not because you follow the laws and commandments, not because you descend from Abraham, not because you are better than, not because you destroy God's enemies, not because you lead people to God, not because you worship, not because you understand scriptures - but ONLY because God made a choice. God does not owe anyone anything for any work or labor performed, nor does God accept any payments. If this isn't evident to you, then go out and do A and see if God does B.

When people pray in this place, it is like begging for something from someone who really doesn't like you. I suppose then this is a notable difference between a genie and the god of this world (the god of spirits and feelings): genies don't require begging, and you never have to make the same request more than once.

It is our hope that God loves us more than we love ourselves; that God puts more care into us than we are able to put into ourselves. (Though it is not what you see, it is what you hope.) If God doesn't love us more than we love ourselves, then we have always been ruined - we have always been destroyed - there is nothing to hope in - and God is as vicious and as cruel as the worst of mankind, encouraging and justifying all manner of treacherous judgment and violence (like the warmongering, rape encouraging, psychopaths who wrote Deuteronomy), rejecting mercy and instead demanding sacrifices of prayers and worship and animal blood. In which case I'd rather exist as a dog or jellyfish or bumblebee who blissfully live everyday anew, are not anxious of a future with or without God, and go back into non-existence when they perish (just as it was before they were born).

People who pray in this place are like the tormented who praise God because they had one single minute of their day without agonizing pain; or like the starving who shout praises of thanksgiving because they found a few breadcrumbs on the floor; or like the destitute who leap with joys of praise because they found a penny in a trashcan.

If this is all that God is willing to give, the most that anyone could ever expect from God, then this is not God loving us more than we love ourselves. This is not love at all. This is a master/slave relationship where we must work and beg for the teeniest tiniest bit of mercy and kindness (meaning that what we receive when God gives in to our pleads and beggings isn't actually mercy or kindness - but rather some other ego-filled aggressive nonsense).

Why is this not love? Because it isn't how you want to be treated, it isn't how you'd ever want your children to be treated. Because justice is rooted in love and mercy. Justice is setting right what is set wrong, building up what needs to be built up, leveling what needs to be leveled, restoring what needs to be restored, repairing what needs to be repaired. Mercy is the act of creating conditions for justice to exist. And love is the deeply empathetic motivation to do justice. As such, there is no true difference between kindness and justice.

Let us be honest. Is what you receive from God, for all these years, justice? Likely not. Not with all the begging and pleading and the thousands year hope of a future that is always just around the corner. As for this race (humanity), hope is in death. It is the common feature of most religions. Any real and worthwhile acts of kindness from God will have to wait until you drop dead. It is what those before you taught you --- but it isn't what God taught you. You don't see God with you in your flesh so God must be with you in the spirit. "God isn't much of a father to me right now, but he will be later in heaven. God is not kind to my body, so God must be kind to my spirit. The alternative is that God is not with me at all - and that is unacceptably untrue."

How can you be sure whether or not God is with you? Find a person you are certain is without God - do you see God treating them any differently?

We can be sure that if God made us God's choice, and God chooses to answer a prayer, and God loves us more than we love ourselves, then whatever we receive will be justice. It won't be a painless decade, or a million breadcrumbs, or a trillion pennies, it will be an end of oppression (even in the forms that a faithless mind would ever consider). Justice doesn't require you to ask for it, nor is its services rendered by payments of prayer and praise; it is freely given as often as it is pursued.

BTW - regarding Deuteronomy, it was both Jeremiah and Zephaniah who said that the priests and scribes did violence to the law (to you, the law is a cohesive whole and the word of God, to them it was not).

"Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. The lying pen of the scribes has made the Law into a lie." ~ Jeremiah 7 & 8.

"Woe to the oppressive city! Her leaders within her are roaring lions; Her judges are wolves at evening; Her prophets are insolent, treacherous men; Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the Law." ~ Zephaniah 3

Tweets - October 17th - Justice

Several spacecrafts flew overhead tonight. One spacecraft was bright, but not exceedingly bright, and flew across the sky with consistent intensity. No messages were given, but their presence was very reassuring based on the insights gained over the last few weeks.

If there was a theme of my life based on the things that have occurred with me over the last few years, it would be "justice" - perhaps even, "the pursuit of justice". Justice: setting right what is set wrong.

The biggest takeaway for me is that "walking by faith" IS pursuing justice. Regarding transformation, walking by faith is the first step of kindness toward yourself. Everyday, you know that you will be healed. Everyday, you know that you are being transformed.

My advice: take notice in the beginning, in its inception, and walk by faith - I hope the distance will be shorter.

Whether by action (justice), or by inaction (justice), or by natural processes, or by inspiration, or by heaven, or by God - God remains faithful to see it through according to God's glory.

Tweets - October 10th - Claims

When you spend time with angels and time with God, you learn things, you are given things - some of which put you in very deep thought. But God gives you things and makes things aware to you that are otherwise not apparent to those who do not know God.

So what this means is that sometimes, when we talk about these things with others, we are left with claims that we cannot directly prove.

Christ was able to circumvent the brutal insults and condemnation this can cause - for a few years - by stuffing his claims inside of parables. One of which went something like, "What you put in your mouth cannot defile you, only what comes out of your mouth can defile you."

He otherwise would have struggled with telling a generation of Pharisee following Jewish folk that God does not actually care if you eat a porkchop sandwich, but God does care about you judging and condemning your neighbor.

It's like me telling a bunch of "the bible is the word of God" Christians that Christ doesn't care about people aborting a fetus or fags tounging each other down in a three-way.

A reasonable claim is, at best, plausible. And that is ALWAYS OK. A claim in and of itself should never be regarded as the complete and absolute truth - regardless of whoever is making the claim (on Earth or in heaven).

The only way one can consider a claim "the absolute truth" is to give authority to the one making the claim. Christ made a claim, "nothing you eat can defile you".

Now, one could say that Christ simply had the authority to make all foods clean; and the author of the gospel of Mark did just that by explicitly stating that Christ, "declared all foods clean".

What was not clear to the author of this gospel is that Christ was no authority, nor was he seeking authority, nor was he making a claim because of some supposed authority that a bunch of godless people attributed to him; he was simply sharing with a godless generation what he learned by watching God and by knowing and understanding the Kingdom/Garden of God - and that was 1) that God blesses whomever God wants to bless, regardless of what they eat, regardless of when they eat it; and 2) that the pursuit of justice and mercy and kindness, the pursuit of human decency, is for our sakes and not for God's.

Of course, Christ's claims meant nothing to most Pharisees: "you say it's OK to put whatever you want in your mouth, the bible says it's a sin".

But God is who God is - so Christ was never alone and God's mercy and power followed him wherever he went - proving Christ's claims to whomever God wanted to bless.

Christ made claims that were impossible for him to directly prove, but they were claims that would only be proven by God. A whole generation of Pharisees died and turned into dust, and Christ was given life eternal.

Claims from heaven are rare - and even then, should not be regarded as the absolute truth in and of themselves. Besides, not everyone flying above is a truth teller. Only a lying devil would assert authority and declare that their claims are truth enough.

One such claim given to me 15 or so years ago, which I couldn't grasp at the time, is that there is no separation between God and everything that exists - God is everything in everything.

Can heaven prove such a claim? Of course not. Only God can prove the truthiness of such a claim.

I have been able to observe. God speaks and interacts with us by way of the universe - from healing, to lessons, to eternal life, to wrath and judgment, to anguish, to death. God has no need for esoteric revelation, no need for spirits, no need to whisper things in people's ears.

How do you convince a blind infant that the sky is blue? You heal the infant's eyes. God is faithful, and understands the nature of an infant, and understands the nature of an infant's eyes.

Tweets - October 9th - Truth

The last 2 times that heaven spoke with me, they've used both my personality and my lived experiences as part of the message. Both times, the spacecrafts flew and became very bright. I was puzzled both times they became luminous, but each time, the message soon became clear.

The first message occurred a few weeks ago, either late August or early September, I was told the truth will do its own convincing - the truth is compelling. Since I haven't seen angels much recently, such events are important.

Then tonight, the second message, I was shown the truth can be exaggerated and dramatized for comical effect.

As for why I was initially puzzled each time, it was because I wasn't discussing anything with heaven. I was having thoughts and reflecting, and they interjected.

The first time, I was compelled by a friend's conviction. I believed them, undoubtedly. Though as the hours went on, I began to wonder if they were being honest with themselves or simply telling themselves (and me) what they wanted to believe was true.

The second time, I was entertaining myself with a likely and funny story.

Tweets - October 3rd - Thank you

One of things I don't really care for is when a parent tells their child to say "thank you" to me after I give them something. I know that this place has a trauma-induced incredibly huge ego problem, so people need to hear a "thank you" after they do something for you or say some "nice" thing to you.

Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the deeds of heaven, and I am so deeply grateful, and I thank heaven and I thank God. But I don't thank heaven to glorify heaven, I thank heaven because heaven glorified me. And they have never responded, "You're welcome".

Everything is a gift, and everything will be a gift. Their effort is a gift, and my effort is a gift.

Tweets - August 13th

The hour is coming when not even a single soul will dare utter the words, "Thank you Jesus". They will be so far broken that they will have nothing to boast in, not even their lord.

"What do we do wrong?", they ask. You offer up your brothers for money and your sisters for pride. You continually convince yourself and your neighbors that your destructive evil is good. You walk up to God's altar and present to God books filled with vomit and lies and violence, and you say to God, "this is your word - this is who you are", and then you destroy human nature and you teach your children to do the same, condemning (in your heart or with your mouth) those who don't do the same. I won't have to deal with the current version of "you" for much longer.

Tweets - August 9th - Imitating God

Back in May, I was told plainly that I didn't know myself and that I needed to take a deep look at myself and my past, and remember all that happened to me and remember where I come from. Sound advice.

Such introspection comes with its pain, but it produces honesty and integrity, and it helps me see what I have kept hidden. I'm not just talking about what I keep hidden regarding myself, but also regarding the world and even God.

God has said to me, "Imitate me", and I said to God in my dishonesty and my blindness, "I will imitate you a little, but You are too severe and not so very nice to people. So I will leave all that unpleasantness in Your hands, and I will go on singing, 'Peace, please!'."

For some, a good talking to with some attentive care is all that's needed for them to be decent people, for some, people learn goodness and true justice by reaping the fruit of the harmful seeds they've planted, for some, stern consistent rebukes are what's required for them to be consistently careful with others and themselves. But what is left when all this fails?

Those who couldn't be reasoned with through discourse have slaughtered those who've disagreed with them; those who didn't learn from the consequences of their actions have destroyed entire nations; those who've ignored rebukes have condemned the poor for being poor, beat them, starved them, and destroyed the little they do have. And if they themselves didn't do these things, their children did, for hundreds and thousands of years. God has rejected our ancestors.

What is left for such people but for me to imitate the not-so-niceness of God in the same manner of God?

Someone in heaven told me a few years ago that God will not come like a mother whipping her child. And this is true, God is no authoritarian, nor has God ever gained pleasure by taking away the liberty of any living thing.

Though it may take years, the severity of God's judgment is one and done. If all other means to lead these nations, this race, toward human decency fail, then they will receive the ass-whooping of God.

It is a one-time thing, a one-time severe lesson, a deep and single punishment, and many will not survive. It is not preferred by God which is why it is so long delayed.

Long ago, heaven chose Israel to be the first light of this world, but Israel had this nasty habit of darkening itself with its own arrogance, and so they became failure upon failure.

So heaven sent prophets to Israel to lead Israel back to human decency (justice, kindness, equity, honesty, faithfulness). This was not preferred by heaven, as a prophet's portion was (and will always be) undesirable.

To be moved into such a position with all the deep sadness, and grief, and rejection, and depression, on top of all the verbal and physical assault - it isn't a position God ever desired for anyone. God did not take pleasure in the suffering of any of them, even Christ.

But it was the last straw, the last resolution before God (through heaven) found need to come down and give a one-time, nation destroying, culture wasting, humiliating, absolutely destructive ass-whooping.

Everything you had hope in, everything you clung to for peace, everyone and everything you leaned on for support was taken away from you in an instant. You finally understood that you were helpless, alone, and so very long without God.

With opened eyes and help from above and below, these things are being made clear to me.
