Care Packages From God

I said I was going to come here and pass on things God said to me, and of course, I haven’t been doing it. I am back to make it right. Hope I don’t repeat anything.

1. “It doesn’t matter.”

Like most of the things God tells me, this doesn’t explode on the page and make people reel in astonishment, but it’s very powerful if you know what it means.

A long time ago, God told me I needed to pray in tongues a lot, and later, he told me that when I felt bad–edgy, anxious, angry, afraid, whatever (anything on the “HALT” list they use in anger management)–it meant I wasn’t praying in tongues enough. It doesn’t mean I’m not doing enough in the natural, although that may also be true. It means I’m thirsty for God’s presence and help, and that if I buckle down and drink, my problems will be resolved.

It works. It always works. It’s the primary thing I have to do, in order to get my life fixed. When I stop, things fall apart. When I start again, the oil goes back into the machinery.

2. “Where you are, there is victory.”

Here, God was referring to himself, although it would also apply to me when I’m in his will.

When you are truly in God’s presence, nothing can touch you. If he ever visits you, you will see what I’m talking about. While he’s there, you will realize you can’t have a problem.

3. “You are my perfect joy.”

I don’t recall what was going on when he gave me this, but it seems to comport with #2. If he visits you, joy is one of the things you will feel. You could say a lack of joy is the same thing as a lack of God’s presence.

4. “An excuse is a lie.”

That one hurt. I don’t mind admitting I make excuses, but I like to tell myself I’m honest. By earth standards, I am honest, but that’s a low standard.

An excuse is a lie you tell yourself so you can evade responsibility or protect your pride. Pride is what keeps you from growing, and it gives demons control over you. It’s like a wall they build around you, to keep God from evicting them.

5. “Don’t believe the lies.”

Here God was talking about strongholds. We’re always told we can’t succeed at this or that. We can’t get healed. We can’t get away from abusive people. We’re not good enough to contradict crazy preachers. Name your stronghold and insert it here.

The only real stronghold is damnation, as far as I know.

The devil will always tell you you’re too weak, too dumb, not righteous enough, or some other ridiculous thing, and he’ll build himself and his children up as though they were God. “You’ll never get your felony expunged, because the people handling your case hate you.” “You’ll never get out of prison early because the other inmates all say it’s impossible.” “You’ll never own your own house because you can’t get a good job and you have debt.”

A while back, God told me, “A stronghold usually has a barking dog standing in front of it.” The dogs bark to prevent you from trying to destroy the stronghold.

If a stronghold is really strong, it doesn’t need a barking dog out front. Hello? A barking dog is a sign the people inside are afraid of you. They know the situation better than you do, and they think you’re dangerous.

Look at Harvey Weinstein. Not to be self-righteous, but this man is a child of Satan. The devil made him rich and powerful. He poured money and support into evil leftist causes. He corrupted people by giving them success in an evil industry; look at Kevin Smith, who made a satirical porn movie and still thinks he’s a Christian. Weinstein was an ogre. He was one of Satan’s giants. He looked like he could never be brought down.

How long did it take Weinstein’s stronghold to crumble? A week? I don’t recall. It was fast. No one saw it coming. Especially not Weinstein.

That’s how Satan’s strongholds are, a lot of the time. Some wear down gradually, but many shatter instantly.

Weinstein was replaced by new giants. The masculinity-destroying #MeTooers. They’re against the abuse of women, suddenly; now that it’s fashionable. It was accepted for a hundred years, and then the very men and women who tolerated it and helped it continue decided to pipe up on Twitter and hold themselves out as righteous crusaders.

On a fundamental level, the #MeToo thing isn’t pro-women. It’s anti-male. Sexual abuse is terrible, but very few people in power cared about it until after they participated in the system and got rich. The culture of sexual abuse is a Satanic creation, but now he needs to damage it in order to attack masculinity.

It’s wild to see hypocrites going after Weinstein, James Toback, and the others. Actors and actresses who got rich by tolerating the system, and who have, for decades, been too powerful to hurt, abruptly started crowing about their disgust and outrage. They’re the problem. They let it happen. And they crave admiration so much, they’re telling people they’re the solution.

Meryl Streep is a #MeToo hawk. Come on. She’s been on top since what? Maybe 1980? She could have spoken out whenever she wanted. Ben Affleck tried to get on board. He made his pile 20 years ago. He was safe, but he only spoke up recently. Then he turned out to be a perpetrator.

Hollywood is an amazing place.

My guess is that #MeToo is part of the mounting Satanic hostility toward men, white people, Christians, and heterosexuals. There has to be a reason why Satan would go after a type of abuse he loves.

Anyway, Weinstein’s stronghold didn’t erode slowly. It shattered like glass. That’s not unusual. The dogs were out front, barking, “This man is too rich to take down. This man will crush you. He will never be defeated.” Now Weinstein is running around incognito, hoping his connections will save him from rape convictions.

Don’t listen to the dogs.

The other day I thought about another giant: Goliath. Look who killed him: a runt who herded sheep.

When Samuel went to Jesse to anoint one of his sons king, Jesse presented the big, impressive ones. He didn’t invite David, who was busy working. You can almost hear the dogs: “Obviously, Samuel wants one of these tall, good-looking, muscular guys. Only an idiot would disagree.” Samuel told Jesse to send for David, and the rest is history.

David killed lions and bears before he was king. Think about that. I got a revelation about it. I’m not afraid of animals in general, but I will not go near a large dog that wants to bite me. That’s scary. A dog can’t beat me in a fight, but it can do a lot of damage. I’m still afraid of being bitten, and I carry a gun and a knife. Think, then, about going after a bear or a lion with a sling. To a lion, a vicious dog is an hors d’ouevre.

Most people don’t hunt lions and bears, so we can’t relate to David. If all of us hunted them, we would know that lions and bears are very dangerous. They charge hunters and maul them. If you wound one and can’t fire again in time, you’re in for one of the worst experiences a human being can have. That’s how things are right now, in the age of the rifle.

Imagine getting close enough to a lion to hit it with a sling, and then slinging a rock at it. That would take real courage. We don’t understand that today. A big predator’s teeth and claws are its stronghold. Very scary. Predators make terrifying noises and put on intimidating displays. But David killed them with pebbles.

That’s remarkable. Look what God will do for a person who ignores the barking. Look at David’s shocking faith, and how God rewarded it with victory.

The Bible says we will marvel at puny Satan when he is dragged away for good. We should not be surprised. Satan has a loud bark.

So that’s what that word from God was about.

I’ll be back with more stuff as I receive it.
