The PEACE solution

 Isaiah 60:1-3

King James Version

60 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, 

and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

2 For, behold, 

the darkness shall cover the earth, 

and gross darkness the people: 

but the Lord shall arise upon thee, 

and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, 

and kings to the brightness of thy rising.


We thought hard about this.

How there can be peace in this world.

How people can think clearly, fairly, and justly.

How nations can be safe again.

We sifted through much material.

Looking into what's happening in the world.

How nations are beginning to secure their borders.

Which we actually encouraged, nearly a year ago.

SPIRIT and I created "FORTIFY your FORTRESS" then.


Apart from nations, we also encouraged you secure your soul.

Secure your families, your schools, your communities, your cities, your governments.

CHRIST's enemy is up to no good.

He NEVER was into any good.

Anything that is close to GOD's heart, Satan will destroy.


Thus, you need to "fortify".

You need to "wake up".

You need to see how far the "infiltration" has gone.

You need to "sift" the wheat, from the chaff.

You need to "review", "rebuild", "regroup", "restore", "replenish".

You need to "secure" your "borders".

You need to "repent".


We knew there was going to be trouble.

We knew borders aren't safe anymore.

We knew infiltration will reach its peak.

We know trouble brews at every corner.

We know people are "asleep".

We know many don't care.

Forcibly pushing their left, and woke, agenda.

Attacking anyone who didn't think as they do.

Not realizing they've laid their soul bare to Satan.

The result?

The enemy has held 

the whole world "hostage"


And then Trump "happened".

The outspoken president-elect fought for common sense.

Finally, someone of the right mind!

A trait the world needs so badly today.

Trump wants real change.

He's had enough of nonsense.

I don't know about you, but I feel the same way, too.


He wants to secure America's borders.

He wants nothing to do with the left, woke, and crime.

Many leaders pay attention to him now.

Where before they mocked him, now they marvel at him.

And they want to jump onto his train.

GOD gave him this second chance to do better.

As we said, only Trump has the "stomach" for it.


Now, nations are beginning to see their follies, too.

Now, they don't want the left, the woke, and militants.

Now, they want to secure their borders.

Now, they have tougher laws on migrants, immigrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers.

Now, they don't want dubious characters anymore.

While before, they welcomed anyone, and everyone.

With their leaders careless, and unthinking.


Trump, Elon, and Vivek took their cue from Hungary and Argentina.

Whose leaders "slashed" at waste, and foolishness.

How can you tell the good, from the bad?

How can you tell who's legit, or a terrorist?

Is it too late to "clean" up our nations?

Not if you do one thing:

PRAY to be BORN AGAIN.


That's actually TWO things:

Pray.

Be born again.


Why do I say "pray"?

Because you need to seek GOD.

You need to talk to Him.

You need to repent of your sins.

But how can you know your sins, unless you're born again?


Only GOD can make you born again.

Only His SPIRIT can convert you.

Only His SPIRIT can teach you about JESUS.

Once you learn about JESUS, He will teach you about GOD.

Then you will have the peace you desire.

Because it first starts with you.

On the choice you make.


How can you promote peace, if you're not peaceful?

How can you know truth, if you don't have GOD's SPIRIT in you?

How can you promote justice, if you don't know GOD's laws?

It's all logical, sequential, and consequential.


All the peace, truth, love, honor, and justice you desire can only be taught by the HOLY SPIRIT.

Through JESUS.

Isaiah 9:6

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.


Who only taught us GOD's will.

And gave GOD glory alone.

That all conform to those.

JESUS represented GOD on earth.

He was GOD, made man.

He was the LAST emissary.


When will you begin to listen?

When will you see GOD's logic?

When will you want to be saved?

Today is the best day to make that decision.

PRAY to be BORN AGAIN.


GOD, and good things, can come from that.

Commit to be humble, teachable, and thus, childlike.

I can't have told you all these things until, and unless, I went through the process.

I started with self first.

I was tired of sin, and sought GOD.

Then, after five months, He showed up.


He made me born again in 2019.

Today, we celebrate our 64 months!

This is our post, to honor such a marvelous day!

SPIRIT and I have 111 blogs and 24 ebooks for GOD's glory.

All teaching material about being born again.

And knowing the benefits of becoming one.

Making us know the ways of GOD, and man.

With Scripture attesting to all that.


Nations come, nations go.

Only the WORD of GOD remains.

Prophet Isaiah said it:

Isaiah 40:8 

King James Version

8 The grass withereth, 

the flower fadeth: 

but the word of our God 

shall stand for ever.


JESUS said it:

Luke 21:33 

King James Version

33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: 

but my words shall not pass away.


That's why I'm peaceful.

I know GOD's laws.

I know man's ways.

I know the world's ways.

I know Satan's ways.


The Bible told me everything.

Past, present, future.

My peace lies in JESUS.

Who happens to be Scripture.

PANIC is demonic

 Isaiah 41:10

King James Version

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: 

be not dismayed; for I am thy God: 

I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; 

yea, I will uphold thee 

with the right hand of my righteousness.


Many have no idea who, or what, causes fear in us.

Is it a real person, or an "entity"?

Is it just circumstances?

Or is there more?

Find out as you keep reading.


Panic is understandable.

But it can be destructive.

Panic sets in when you feel everything's out of control.

That you don't have power over anything.

That you're sheep being led to your slaughter.

That everything is useless, hopeless, fruitless.

That everything will fall upon your head.

So, your mind imagines all sorts of things.

Literally taking the better of you.

And surely, nothing ever positive.


Obviously not a healthy way to live.

Hardly productive, and proactive.

Creating unnecessary stress upon you.

And surely upon others, too.

Especially if you've gone overboard.

And no one can speak sense into you anymore.

Your whole body shutting down.

Your whole system refusing to function.

What good would that do, for yourself, and others?

Instead of being a solution, you became the problem.

When there's already a problem you need to deal with.

You added yourself to it.

How can you possibly function?

How can you help?

How can you be of use to others?

You can't.

You have become your own additional problem.


In these end times, all the more we need GOD.

Only He has power over EVERYTHING.

Romans 13:1 

King James Version

13 Let every soul be subject 

unto the higher powers. 

For there is no power but of God: 

the powers that be are ordained of God.


Further, we are battling against forces that aim to destroy us.

In whatever way it can.

Especially bombarding our "temples".

The body is the "TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT".

Expect non-stop attack from CHRIST's enemy.

Encompassing both believers, and non-believers alike.

Boy, how the enemy would want you destroyed!

You have no idea his ways, means, and methods.

But we've written about that here.


We are all in spiritual warfare every moment.

Satan looks for a loophole.

A weakness in you.

An opening wherein he can corrupt.

He doesn't do anything to you that he's not already seen.

A certain weakness.

A penchant.

A predisposition.

A lust.


Many are not physically, psychologically, and emotionally equipped to fight his attacks.

But the true born again is equipped for such a battle.

We have the WORD of GOD to protect us, and keep us on track.

We have Scripture to feed our soul.

As constant attacks are upon our soul.

Especially when you're "asleep" in your soul.

And yes, when you sleep for the night.

When "attacked", say the simplest, childlike prayer:

"Please help me, GOD!"


When you're not with, and of GOD, you're vulnerable to such attacks.

You won't have the proper "arsenal", or protection.

Confusion will set in.

Panic will follow.

Chaos is the result.

You will literally unleash your own hell.

You can cause harm upon others.

You can cause confusion in others.

You can cause panic in others.

Now, it's one whole CAULDRON of collective chaos.


EXACTLY as Satan wanted.

And he didn't even have to lift a finger.

All he did was "play" with your mind.

Feed upon your emotions.

Make you gang up on each other.

Bite each other like rabid dogs.

And yet, nothing gets done.

The problem has not been solved.

Worse, you've all become part of the problem.

You may even lose sight of what the original problem was.

Now, you have more problems to deal with.

Satan's fingerprint, for sure.


What is panic but a whole conflagration of emotions?

You imagine what's not there.

You create what you should not create.

You imagine all sorts of "scenarios".

Your "what ifs" will not stop.

Your mind will collapse upon itself.

Again, EXACTLY as Satan wants.


Of course, he's up to more.

He wants your body to follow.

With your mind out of control, your body will follow suit.

Your system may crash.

You may fall into "shock".

You will allow yourself to.

Just to escape, and not deal with it.

Hoping for someone else to solve it.

You will collapse.

You literally "shut down".

All because you think you can't handle what you think will come.

What do you think will come?

As if you know what will.

Only GOD knows.

That's why JESUS lambasted even His disciples:

Matthew 17:17

King James Version

17 Then Jesus answered and said, 

O faithless and perverse generation, 

how long shall I be with you? 

how long shall I suffer you? 

bring him hither to me.


That's why people get sick.

Mentally, emotionally, and physically.

The body is a beautiful system created by GOD.

But when panic sets in, all come crashing down.

We forget our divine heritage.

Your circuits go haywire.

No amount of talk will get you back.

Only a true born again is equipped to fight this spiritual battle.

Only because we know who "dunnit".

We are equipped to fight such battles.


Relax, and TRUST GOD.

Who knows what's to come, but the LORD?

Who knows Satan's machinations, but the LORD?

Who knows man's weaknesses, but the LORD?

SPIRIT and Scripture tell us all these things.


Find your comfort in CHRIST.

The LORD JESUS offers PEACE.

Not just for the moment, but forever.

A true born again knows JESUS is the ONLY real thing.

He is fulfillment of Scripture.

He is fulfillment of GOD's POWER on earth.

He embodies everything GOD is.


Satan will weave lies, chaos, corruption, deception, and destruction.

He will pit people, against the other.

He will make your mind, mincemeat.

He will laugh at your confusion.

He will gloat over your personal chaos.

He will celebrate when you've "infected" others.

That's how you know he's "gotten into you".

From that point on, you're subject to his influence.


Be not afraid, though.

JESUS cares for each sheep.

Luke 15:3-7

King James Version

3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, 

if he lose one of them, doth not leave 

the ninety and nine in the wilderness, 

and go after that which is lost, 

until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, 

he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, 

he calleth together his friends and neighbours, 

saying unto them, 

Rejoice with me; 

or I have found my sheep which was lost.

7 I say unto you, 

that likewise joy shall be in heaven 

over one sinner that repenteth, 

more than over ninety and nine just persons, 

which need no repentance.


John 10:27-28

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them 

out of my hand.


GOD assigned people for JESUS to save.

John 6:37

King James Version

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; 

and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.


John 6:39

King James Version

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me 

I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again at the last day.


Beware panic attacks.

That's Satan hooking his filthy claws upon your cranium.

With that very hook, your panic will hook others, too.

Hasn't it been said, "Panic is contagious"?

Now, you're all one triumphant harvest for this dark nemesis.

Only by being born again can you be free.

For you will only trust JESUS.

You will live by the Bible.

Nothing can faze you.

Nothing can cause fear upon you.

Most of all, you're FREE of panic.

Isn't that great comfort for you, or anyone?

FIND your FAITH in JESUS, dear friends!

He is our ONLY HOPE.

JEWS and PEACE

 


1 Corinthians 4:3-5

King James Version

3 But with me it is a very small thing 

that I should be judged of you, 

or of man's judgment: 

yea, I judge not mine own self.

4 For I know nothing by myself; 

yet am I not hereby justified: 

but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, 

until the Lord come, 

who both will bring to light 

the hidden things of darkness, 

and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: 

and then shall every man have praise of God.


If you watch the news, surely, you've seen how Jews are being kept from their campuses.

And yet, it's been said, many elite universities had been founded by Christians.

Have they forgotten their foundation?

So, I think to myself, what would be an alternative for the Jews?

To put up their own schools?

To go to Israel, where they'll be accepted?

Or to turn to the Bible for comfort?

As born again, I urge Jews to pray to know GOD's will.

Only GOD knows how to protect His people.

They must really seek to know GOD.

For all have been prophesied.


Man's folly has an end.

The world may fall apart.

But GOD's WORD remains.

All my blogs seek to know truth.

Through the Bible.

It is the ONLY SOURCE I go to.

GOD's WORD tells me all I need to know.

Whether it be on the past, the present, or the future.

Whether it be on GOD, JESUS, the HOLY SPIRIT, or man.

Whether it be on Jews, or Gentiles.


For sometime now, I've been pondering the "matter of the Jews".

Why are they so reviled?

How shall they overcome all this animosity?

JESUS tells us very telling things.

Putting everything in its proper perspective.

In short, Jews must expect these from the world:

Matthew 10:22

King James Version

22 And ye shall be hated of all men 

for my name's sake: 

but he that endureth to the end 

shall be saved.


John 15:18

King James Version

18 If the world hate you, 

ye know that it hated me 

before it hated you.


John 15:21

King James Version

21 But all these things will they do unto you 

for my name's sake, 

because they know not him that sent me.


John 15:23

King James Version

23 He that hateth me 

hateth my Father also.


Powerful, powerful Scripture!

Leave it to the LORD to explain things clearly.

But how shall Jews find peace?

How shall they find comfort?

Who can give them all that?

A psalm of David will surely help.

For this brave and faithful king was perpetually attacked on ALL fronts.

Psalm 55:1-11

King James Version

55 Give ear to my prayer, O God; 

and hide not thyself from my supplication.

2 Attend unto me, and hear me: 

I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

3 Because of the voice of the enemy, 

because of the oppression of the wicked: 

for they cast iniquity upon me, 

and in wrath they hate me.

4 My heart is sore pained within me: 

and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, 

and horror hath overwhelmed me.

6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! 

for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

7 Lo, then would I wander far off, 

and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

8 I would hasten my escape 

from the windy storm and tempest.

9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: 

for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: 

mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: 

deceit and guile depart not from her streets.


Psalm 55:16-19

King James Version

16 As for me, I will call upon God; 

and the Lord shall save me.

17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, 

and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

18 He hath delivered my soul in peace 

from the battle that was against me: 

for there were many with me.

19 God shall hear, and afflict them, 

even he that abideth of old. Selah. 

Because they have no changes, 

therefore they fear not God.


Psalm 55:22-23

King James Version

22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, 

and he shall sustain thee: 

he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

23 But thou, O God, 

shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: 

bloody and deceitful men 

shall not live out half their days; 

but I will trust in thee.


Israel is loved.

GOD loves Israel.

She is the apple of His eye.

No one can destroy Israel.

That's like trying to destroy JESUS.

Well, He is indestructible.

JESUS is a Jew.

Salvation is OF the JEWS.

John 4:22

King James Version

22 Ye worship ye know not what: 

we know what we worship: 

for salvation is of the Jews.


Romans 1:16

King James Version

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: 

for it is the power of God unto salvation 

to every one that believeth; 

to the Jew first, 

and also to the Greek.


One quirky thing you must know --

The salvation of Gentiles is intricately bound with the salvation of Jews.

And vice-versa.

But few people realize that.

It is a foolish man who fights GOD's laws.

It is an even more foolish man who defies GOD's will.

The sooner we surrender to GOD, the sooner we shall all have peace.

For both Jew, and Gentile.


The Jews deserve to breathe easier, too, you know.

Imagine a life, where you're constantly on guard.

With nations aiming to wipe out your race.

Can the same be said for any other race?

Has anyone really had mercy upon Israel, as she defends herself all day long?

Has anyone really looked at how tiny she is, compared to others?

Why would we want more of her already tiny land?

Unless Satan wants her vanquished, and totally destroyed.

Which he does, of course.


Know the spirit that drives you.

If it's of love, then you are of CHRIST.

If it's of hatred, then you're of the enemy.

By your actions you have revealed yourself.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.


Know, too, we are in the end times.

Thus, the aggravated animosity towards Jews:

Isaiah 5:20

King James Version

20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; 

that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; 

that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!


2 Timothy 3:1-5

King James Version

3 This know also, that in the last days 

perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, 

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, 

trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, 

despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, 

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, 

but denying the power thereof: 

from such turn away.

FREE from ambivalence

 

1 Corinthians 14:33

King James Version

33 For God is not the author of confusion, 

but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.


That's the beauty of being born again.

We don't get confused.

We have JESUS Who teaches us.

We have SPIRIT Who reminds us of the LORD's laws.

We have Scripture to tell us about GOD, JESUS, and SPIRIT.

We are never at a loss for GOD's WORD.

We know what the past, present, and future are.

Except for when the Rapture will be.

Or when JESUS will return.

Scripture tells us everything we need to know.

SPIRIT helps us discern the times.

Unless you're born again, you'd be lost.

For JESUS is the ONLY WAY to GOD.


We are not ambivalent.

We are sure of what the BIBLE* teaches us.

What is ambivalence?

Merriam-Webster defines it as:

: simultaneous and contradictory attitudes or feelings (such as attraction and repulsion) toward an object, person, or action

: continual fluctuation (as between one thing and its opposite)

: uncertainty as to which approach to follow


And that's what makes everything so exciting.

We know GOD's story, man's story, and his hope for the future.

Whatever happens in the world has all been prophesied.

Before GOD made me born again in 2019, I bought many books.

I studied many things.

That I may understand the times.

That I may be able to discern what's happening.

That I may find ABSOLUTE truth.

Thinking that's the way to go about it.

Did I find it?

Nope.


"Something" was always elusive.

I couldn't seem to get to the "bottom" of it.

Only when I hit rock bottom, did GOD come to my rescue.

But, of course, surrendering means, you repent of your sins.

That you're sick of your old self, and desire real change.

That's how the god of this world "hooks" seekers.

He gives you anything BUT truth.

He gives you many distractions.

CHRIST's enemy wants you lost.


All 24 years of studying since 1995 taught me many things.

Such as "new age" being actually "old" age.

I had pounced upon the "doctrines of devils".

You know how ancient GOD's enemy is.

Now, I shudder to even think about it.

But GOD, in His divine wisdom, took mercy upon me. 

He made sure all that "research" was put to good use.

He just allowed it.

He did not admonish me.

He just let me be.

He knew I was searching for something.

I had no idea it was Him.

GOD allows everything, for His PERFECT purpose.

How could this workman be an effective writer, if I had not known that which is NOT of GOD?

GOD let me go through many falls, and challenges.

That I may know better.


All such learning serves my work now.

GOD's WORD tells me ABSOLUTE truth.

SPIRIT guides me to understand Scripture.

And this is where He led me --

All truth comes from JESUS:

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.


The Bible comes from GOD.

2 Timothy 3:16

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:


Scripture exists for this end goal:

2 Timothy 3:17

King James Version

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.


Being born again means we will never again be lost.

That is, if we live by the Bible.

And I sure am, and do.

I hope you do, too.

There's nothing quite like it.

Being under the GRACE and GUIDANCE of the LORD.

There's really only JESUS* to look to:

Philippians 4:7

King James Version

7 And the peace of God, 

which passeth all understanding, 

shall keep your hearts and minds 

through Christ Jesus.


*P.S.

I'll let you in on something.

As I went to my link on the word "BIBLE", wifi connection conked out.

The same thing happened when I went to my link on the word "JESUS".

Says much, doesn't it?

But I'm used to it.

My work gets hindered a lot.

Still, it pulls through.

How can it not?

I serve the LIVING GOD.
