Think About Your Future

Today I came back here and read things I had written about God.

I’ll tell you something funny. When you write things under the influence of the Holy Spirit, and then you come back and read them again, it’s as powerful as reading scripture. After all, the Bible was written by men, inspired by the Holy Spirit. God didn’t come down and pick up a quill and write Acts and Hebrews.

Anything God says is “the word of the Lord,” even if he says it today. Does that sound like blasphemy? Well, let me ask you this: does God wear a gag?

Can God still speak? If so, then the word of God can continue flowing, and if it can continue flowing, it can be written down.

I’ll wait now and see if lightning hits me.

No; I’m good. We can continue.

If you have Spirit-given discernment, you will be able to tell revelation from nonsense. You should be able to look at the Koran and The Book of Mormon and realize they’re hoaxes. You should be able to look at books by people like Larry Huch and T.D. Jakes and realize they’re wrong. On the other hand, you should be able to tell when something is correct. So don’t be afraid of new revelation. Unless you’re also blind and deaf. Which is probably the case at the moment. Very few people have built themselves up.

I’m not saying you should print out my blog and call it scripture. Think of all the crazy things I’ve said. But there are some useful things here.

The Bible talks about “meditating” on the word of God. That refers to repetition. Yes, Jesus said not to engage in vain repetition, but not all repetition is vain. If you repeat phrases and sentences from the Bible, and you have Holy Spirit perception, you will feel things changing inside you. New understanding and power will come.

This works when you repeat stuff you see in the Bible, and it also works when you repeat things God has told you privately.

Okay, yes, the Bible cautions us about private interpretation. Arggh. That doesn’t mean God doesn’t tell you things in private. If you ask God to tell you where your keys are, do you think he has to tell everyone on the planet? Come on.

I can almost feel the misguided nitpicking start when I write a sentence.

People who aren’t Spirit-led need to be quiet. One of the purposes of hell is to silence them forever. You can’t have peace while you’re contending with puffed-up people who think they know more than they do. And heaven is peaceful.

Try this. The next time a word from God makes an impression on you, sit quietly and repeat it to yourself 40 or 50 times. See what happens. Look for things like new understanding or changes in the way you feel. It will happen, unless you’re spiritually dead.

When I come back here and go back over things God told me to write, it’s like looking at something someone else wrote. Part of that is age, but even if I remember writing it, it still has new life, just like the passages I re-read in the Bible.

You can’t be Spirit-led if God can’t tell you things outside of the printed page, and he can’t tell you things if you don’t listen. You can’t listen if no one speaks, so speak to yourself.

God tells me useful stuff. A lot of it is highly disturbing. A day or two back, he moved me to ask him to show me how I was fighting him.

How do you react to a thing like that? You think you’re on God’s side, or at least you tell yourself that, and then he tells you to ask him to list the areas where you’re fighting him.

I don’t want to think about that. It’s intimidating, because it could be discouraging. It’s a serious jolt to my pride. And part of me thinks, “Do I really want to change all these things? Do I have to be that good? Do I have to give up so much?” Will I have to get rid of cable TV and the Internet and go live in a hut in the wilderness?

I gave in and asked him, though. I hate the devil, and I am disgusted with the flesh, and I want to see them put in their place. I am tired of being undermined and attacked from behind. I don’t care what I have to give to God; I want to see my enemies suffer instead of me.

A friend came over for a prayer session today, and we talked about the big increase in revelation we’re seeing. We both had the same feeling about it: it suggests that something is about to happen.

The normal response to increased revelation from God would be gratitude and maybe amazement, and we felt those things, but the thing that made the biggest impression on us was the sense of portent.

If God is suddenly releasing information, and that information is of a type highly suited to the needs of people who will face persecution combined with destabilization of nations, it would seem to imply that things are coming to a head.

You could argue that God’s revelation has been available since the crucifixion, but who has been paying attention for the last two millennia? Almost no one has received anything. The mainstream churches have done a thorough job of killing the power of Christianity. They have substituted fantasies and guesses for useful information about God. They prevented people from receiving revelation.

Our deafness left us feeble and unprepared. Fifty years ago, we were headed for two possible outcomes: total destruction caused by ignorance, and a helpful jump start from God. He gave us the jump start.

I don’t want to get ahead of God. That’s for cultists. They panic and decide the world will end on a certain day, and the first thing you know, they’re drinking poisoned grape drink in the jungle. That’s not good. But if you’re a Christian, you have to believe the world will have an end. It had a beginning, and the enterprise will some day conclude. Eventually, someone will say the world is ending, and instead of an embarrassing continuation of the status quo, we will see the apocalypse unfold. So I can’t discount what I feel, especially as my connection with the Holy Spirit improves.

I feel increasingly disconnected with the human world. It’s starting to look sort of unimportant. The things that get us stirred up appear increasingly silly.

I am losing respect for human institutions like government. I feel like my involvement with them should be aimed principally at placating them and keeping them from bothering me. I don’t want to get sucked back into the mosh pit. The world reminds me of Black Friday at Wal-Mart.

I don’t want to contribute to political campaigns or join blog crusades. I want to think about permanent, important things. I want to think about my future, which is not on this earth.

This is a healthy outlook. One of the most crippling symptoms of immaturity is an irrational obsession with remaining alive.

Everyone dies. If I manage to get another 35 years, I’ll be doing great, but 35 years ago seems like a minute, and that means I have a minute or less left. Less, because time passes faster now. It’s a mistake to invest myself in it.

I don’t want to end up like Madonna or Cher, paying doctors to paste me together and dressing in age-inappropriate clothes while I pretend to be young. At its best, this life was not that great. When I’m 85 and my memory, eyesight, hands, and teeth are failing, it will be like a dirty paper towel I really want to throw away.

You’re going to die, too. Everything you build on this earth is going to be destroyed. No one will care about your accomplishments a thousand years from now. If you get too caught up in earthly affairs, you’ll be like Peaked in High School Rob Lowe.

I’ve often thought Satan was like a person who peaked in high school. He loves trinkets and costume jewelry. He has the values of a two-year-old. He wrote the Koran; no wonder the Muslim afterlife looks like a high school boy designed it. Stuff yourself, stay drunk, have sex with women and young boys…you might as well go to Thailand. Why go to heaven if you remain immature?

I remember watching a “Christian” seminar salesman named Brian Klemmer, claiming he had a 500-year plan for his life. He was trying to convince a crowd of churchgoers to buy expensive Werner Erhard-style seminars. It was just sales talk, and when he died shortly thereafter from a torn neck artery, I doubt he gave the plan a thought. I thought he was foolish, and I don’t want to sound like him. I am not claiming I have a plan for the afterlife. But God has given me some clues on how to get ready, so I am using them.

Klemmer actually fooled a lot of Christians. Check out the prices on his seminars, if they’re still available. Ask yourself if God sent someone here to teach EST instead of Christianity, for that kind of money, when Jesus and the Apostles taught the real thing for nothing.

If Klemmer had not used classic Scientology-style tiered pricing for his seminars (It’s free! Did you like it? The next one costs $300!), I might be able to treat him with some respect.

You’re going to die. It’s going to happen sooner than you think. Your life here is as good as over, and if you’re a Christian, there’s a fair chance you will be required to give up your life voluntarily.

The God-haters will get more power. Today they’re happy if you bake a wedding cake. Tomorrow, they’ll tell you to renounce God or die. You’ll need to improve yourself substantially if you want to pass that test. You really don’t want the consequences of giving in.

Among gays, there is a widespread preoccupation with youth. It was one of the things that drove gay mass shooter Vester Flanagan to kill. He was infuriated because he had gotten fat and dumpy, and other men no longer looked at him with lust or paid attention to him.

Interesting.

Keep praying in the Spirit. Keep listening. Ask God to help you love correction.

It’s the mature thing to do.

Starting with the Sack of Meat That Runs Your Life

I keep getting new revelation, and it’s relatively useless if I keep it for myself, so here I am to pass it around.

It’s funny, but God can give you revelation without telling you anything new. He can take old information and give you new understanding of how important it is, or he can help you remember to apply it in the heat of battle. It’s a reminder of how much we need him. He can put a tool or weapon in your hand, and you can still be unable to use it unless he gives you additional grace.

He can instantly provide you with the ability to use a tool you already have. That’s a wonderful thing and a relief.

Today he increased my understanding of the importance of battling the flesh, and he gave me greater desire to do it.

If you go to college and petrify your brain with philosophy courses, they will tell you about “dualism.” It’s an idea modern academics feel they have discredited. Basically, it divides man into two parts: mental and physical. More or less. Academics think this is silly, and that you have to integrate the two parts, which means giving in to the flesh and co-governing your life. If you’re lecherous, look at a little porn, or fornicate. If you like weed, smoke it. Win by surrendering unconditionally.

That’s incredibly stupid and dangerous. It assures that you will fail, and that you will live in defeat. It may be pretty defeat. It may feel like victory to you. But when you get to the throne of judgment, you will be shown that it was defeat and rebellion.

Dualism is valid. It’s Biblical.

The flesh is a narcissist and a sociopath. It craves pleasure and admiration. It craves immediate satisfaction. If you don’t train it, it will do unbelievably stupid things that go against even its own interests. For example, it will tell you to smoke cigarettes, which cause cancer, which kills the flesh.

Bad decisions are among the major problems sociopaths face. A sociopath is extremely selfish and wants to look out for Number One, but a sociopath also has poor impulse control, so they get in trouble a lot. They commit crimes. They fornicate like crazy. They destroy relationships. They invite poverty.

Think of Esau, who was a great example of a fleshly man. He sold Eretz Israel–not just modern Israel, but a huge piece of the Middle East–for one bowl of soup. One bowl.

Adam sold the world for a piece of fruit, but at least he expected to receive wisdom.

Letting your flesh rule you is like going on a road trip in an SUV full of toddlers and letting them tell you where to stop and what to do. A one-day trip would take a month. You’d stop at Chuck E. Cheese three times before dinner. You’d stop at Toys R Us and load up your credit cards, buying a trailer, if necessary, to haul your new junk. You’d plow off into the swale to look at horses. You’d eat Skittles until you threw up, and then you’d eat more. You’d turn around and drive the wrong way.

Kids are foolish. That sounds mean, but it’s Biblical. They don’t know much of anything. You do not put them in charge.

When you own a dog, you walk the dog. You don’t let the dog walk you.

Your flesh is literally no better than a dog. Look at the self-destructive things people do every day and tell me I’m wrong. I dare you.

People get face tattoos. They buy time shares. They pay unlicensed kooks to split their sex organs and put rings in them. They jump off bridges wearing wingsuits. People who know crackheads try crack!

You will never win this argument, except maybe in your own mind.

Take a look at this well-known Youtube video. It shows an abused child ordering his mother to give him cupcakes.

People think he’s cute. Especially ghetto people who are used to defeat and immaturity. I know a lot of ghetto men, and many are just like this boy.

They thought it was cute when my two-year-old relative of mine put her hands on her hips and told adults off. Now she’s homeless and has lung cancer and a felony conviction.

It’s easy to look down on this kid and feel superior, but think about this: he is a picture of what’s inside you right now.

Your flesh is just like the brat in the video. You don’t rule it. It has very little respect for you. It’s not afraid of you. You negotiate with it. You plead with it. You give in so it will shut up. As a result, it has great power over you. The structure of authority in your life is inverted. You may have the flesh partially trained, but you’re not the master of the house.

You may think you’re not like that. Do you overeat? Do you stay angry at people? Are you proud? Can you resist sexual temptation? Do you have debt? Are you out of shape because you don’t exercise? Are you a bad housekeeper? You didn’t agree to failure in these areas. The flesh forced it on you.

One of the worst things the flesh does to us is to convince us that we’re in charge.

I’ve spent a lot of time fighting spirits. God showed me that Christians have demons, so I worked to cast mine out. I had a lot of success. But sometimes the results came undone. Sometimes I could not conquer the problems. Now I realize I did things in the wrong order. I was throwing these spirits out of the house, but the flesh was holding the front door open and inviting them back in, and I was not fighting the flesh directly.

The flesh is worse than Satan. Satan doesn’t owe us loyalty. The longer he can screw creation up, the longer he will stay out of the lake of fire. The smartest thing he can do is to fight God and work to destroy you. What choice does he have? It’s not right, but it’s not like he can enter a program and change course. The flesh, on the other hand, belongs to us. When it fights us, it’s a betrayal.

In war, enemy soldiers are imprisoned and fed when they’re captured. Traitors and spies are executed. That’s because what they do is lower. It involves treachery. The flesh is your traitor. The devil is just an enemy.

God has told me I’m going to live in victory. Is it just because I run around saying no weapon formed against me will prosper? No; you can claim God’s promises and die full of tumors. It’s because God is fixing the authority structure in my life, and that means he is putting my flesh in its place, supernaturally.

I want this. I want a victorious life.

Look at Jesus. He had one bad day in his life, and he chose that. The gospels contain no example of anyone defeating him. He is never depicted as ill or afraid. When he told the murderous Jews of Nazareth he was the Messiah, they took him to a cliff to kill him, and he turned around and walked away. He walked through the crowd. They couldn’t see him.

I want that. Maybe I can’t get to that level, but I can be unafraid of other people. I can be confident that my illnesses and injuries will be undone. I can live in peace, regardless of what goes on around me. Those things can happen, but only if my house–my temple–is in order.

That’s worth whatever God asks of me, which is not much. A little prayer and honesty is all he wants. If you take care of those things, the rest will come about on its own.

The problems we face in this life are just manifestations of the problems with our relationships with God. Up to a certain age, we can’t be held accountable, and we can’t defend ourselves, but if you’re 40 and you are mentally able, you are responsible for your own vulnerability.

Jesus understood this. Because he was smart? No. Sorry if that sounds like blasphemy. He understood it because the Holy Spirit told him.

Jesus knew the flesh was his main enemy, so before he started his ministry, he went into the desert, fasted for 40 days, and broke his flesh like a horse. Modern ministers don’t do that. They accept salvation, then they decide they’re perfect, and then they go out and use God as an excuse to swindle people and take their houses and IRA’s.

We have to break our flesh, and we can’t break the flesh with the flesh. We can’t do it by trying really hard to be good. We have to get the Holy Spirit behind us. We have to pray in tongues to build our faith, change our hearts, and give us knowledge and wisdom. Then the flesh has no chance, because it’s not fighting itself. It’s fighting God.

This is what God is showing me now, and it’s a gift of unimaginable value. For centuries, human beings have groveled at the feet of the flesh and doomed spirits. We have been tossed and battered by every wave. Now, thanks to the cross, we have the power to turn that upside down. This is what the Bible means when it refers to making our enemies our footstool. God made that promise to Jesus, but if we are Spirit-led, we are part of Jesus.

I am sick of worry. I am sick of uncertainty. I am sick of the things inside myself that I don’t like. I am sick of losing. God has been giving me more and more victory, and I want that to continue and increase. I don’t care what I have to give up. It’s all excrement anyway. I’ll be dead in 40 years. None of it will last.

The boy in the video will go to prison. That’s assuming he doesn’t change. He is already in prison. He is imprisoned in a body controlled by a human animal. He is along for the ride, but he can’t steer or brake. He’s not cute. He’s psychologically diseased, and he is headed for death. I do not want to be like him. I have felt that my own iniquities were cute. I don’t want that attitude in me any more.

Iniquities and illnesses are handles and doorways the devil uses to grab you and enter your house. It’s not a joke. It’s not something you can get away with ignoring. It’s very serious.

The future is bleak for Christians. Satan is going to win; we know this from prophecy. He is going to control the world and treat us the way Hitler treated Jews. The only people who will be able to bear it will be Spirit-led, not flesh-dependent. If Jesus had relied on his flesh when the Jews took him to the cliff, they would have thrown him over, and his brains would have been all over the rocks. You have to decide whether you’re going to be prepared for persecution. It’s already starting.

You can’t prepare with guns, walls, gold, dried food, or bomb shelters. God can sweep those things away in an instant, and so can Satan. He and his people are much, much stronger than you are. You have to prepare from the innermost part of you. Your heart has to be your panic room. You start building your stronghold there, and then it expands into the outer world.

Pray in tongues. Beg God for correction and humility. Listen. Drop your defenses and lying excuses. Let the healing in. It will work. But you have to start now.

Speak to your flesh as if it were a demon, because it’s a friend of demons, and it’s under your authority. Once you have faith, get up every day and say things like, “I speak defeat to my flesh in the name of Jesus, and I speak victory to myself and the Holy Spirit.” Do this only if the Spirit says to. It works. You can also use your power to fight urges. You can say, “I forbid my flesh to crave alcohol.” You can even say you forbid your flesh to have illnesses, depending on your faith. You will have setbacks and bumps in the road, but overall, you will improve and win.

By the way, your flesh will mount a counterattack. It may get sick. It may cause you to do something stupid, like committing a crime or a major sin that has repercussions. Don’t be surprised. Pray against it in advance so the effect will be blunted. Don’t be foolish enough to be surprised when an enemy fights back. I was.

If you try this, come back and let me know how it works. Or let other people know. I hope to hear stories of success. And remember, keep on not sending me your tithes, offerings, and “seed gifts.” That’s very important.

It Spreads from Left to Right

I am really looking forward to the end of this election.

My feeling is that Trump will get it. I can live with that. It will give Christians and Jews a little time to repent and get it together as the US descends into chaos. You can plateau on the way up; you can also plateau on the way down.

If Hillary or Bernie wins, the devil gets a big push, and our decline speeds up. It will be a rough time for anyone who cares about the church, the unborn, Israel, freedom of speech, or the right to self-defense. Increasingly, we will be treated the way worthless Cuban revolutionaries treated the successful, intelligent people they tortured and killed in their backward country.

It seems like none of what’s happening makes sense in the natural. That’s Christianese; “in the natural” means “not in the supernatural realm.” The Bernouts are completely irrational; no news there. That’s the left for you. But lunacy is increasing on the right.

Trump is attracting supporters who rival the Obamites in their refusal to see his faults. Cruz is a fairly good common-sense candidate, but he’s not going anywhere. He can’t catch fire.

Conservatives who hate or worship Trump are so irrational it’s startling. It’s a real education on the vulnerability of the flesh. Liberals love to talk about right-wing “rage,” but it has always been a ridiculous myth…until recently.

Trump-dumpers are calling Trump-pumpers bigots and racists. They’re calling them ignorant and hateful. Does that sound familiar at all?

It’s exactly the kind of slander we hear from the left, concerning all conservatives. How are we going to walk that back after maybe a third of us start repeating it?

Bigots and racists (only the white kind) are drawn to the GOP and Trump. It’s true. They share certain interests with the GOP, and it’s not because the GOP is a racist organization. It’s because racists can’t be wrong about everything.

Even Hitler got some things right. He built lovely tanks, and he is the father of the superhighway. He brought us rocketry and the jet engine. That doesn’t mean everyone who likes rockets is a Nazi.

Racists want Hispanics out of the country for racist reasons. Conservatives want illegal immigrants out of the country for common-sense reasons unrelated to race. If conservatives stand up against illegals, obviously, racists will support conservatives.

Criminals and their families overwhelmingly support Democrats. It doesn’t mean everyone who voted for Obama likes crime.

I thought conservatives understood these things, but as usual, I overestimated the human race.

Another liberal idea that has crossed the aisle is the empty threat to leave America. Some conservatives say they’ll leave America if Trump wins. No, they won’t. Come on. If America is too liberal, where do you go? Canada? No guns, and socialized medicine? Singapore? No guns and strict limits on speech? Japan? They won’t let you in; they really ARE racist.

I have even heard that Trump is a Clinton mole, and that he’s only running so Hillary will win.

People. Please. Think about this.

Let me explain why Trump is not a mole. If Trump ran fraudulently, it would be a felony, committed over 2 years, in front of cameras, in at least 51 jurisdictions. You can’t have a hoax campaign legally.

Trump is worth billions of dollars. He is healthy. He has grandchildren. He is constantly surrounded by fantastic attorneys who advise him minute by minute. There is no way he would put his throat under the boots of 50+ attorneys general in his autumn years.

He could be prosecuted in every state, Puerto Rico, the federal courts, Guam (does Guam have a court?)…actually I’m not sure about the territories. But anyway, it’s at least 51 jurisdictions. He would lose, and the attorneys’ fees would run to several hundred million dollars.

He would have to have dozens or even thousands of accomplices, and they would all have to keep quiet. They would all be liable, criminally. No way! That’s not a campaign. That’s a cult. It’s not happening.

He would have to trust the Clintons! Do I have to explain why that’s not likely?

But what if he fooled them all?

Yes. Trump fooled his entire family, every advisor, every ally, and every journalist. If he could pull that off, he’d be worth trillions, not billions.

So anyway, people are really losing it on both sides of the aisle.

Liberals keep comparing Trump to Hitler, the guy who walled off his country to keep people IN. The socialist who nationalized business after business. Does that make sense to you?

I got tired of wondering, so I looked up a few things, and it turns out Hitler really was a leftist. Because someone on the Internet said so? No, because he did what socialists do.

Hitler jacked taxes through the roof in Germany. He introduced socialized medicine and wrecked the German medical system. He created government busy-work jobs. He taxed wealth (not just income). He used tax money for social engineering.

It was like Bernie’s vision of heaven, except for the genocide and conquest.

Liberals say Hitler was on the right because he fought socialists and labor unions, but that’s a horrible argument. Socialists have always had internal fights. Trotsky was killed by a socialist. Hitler wasn’t trying to stamp out leftism. He was just trying to kill off the competition.

To a bureaucrat, priority one is always “my job,” not political principle. Hitler and his underlings were bureaucrats. If there had been a second Nazi faction with exactly the same platform, Hitler would have done his best to kill them.

So yes, Hitler was a socialist, not just in name, but in practice. Saying Hitler wasn’t a socialist is like saying a prison rapist isn’t gay. Own it.

I guess I’m digressing.

Trump’s only resemblances to Hitler are that he recognizes external threats and arouses emotion-based support by stirring up people’s spleens. He’s no worse than Sanders, Clinton, and Obama, demonizing “the rich,” the police, and anyone else who does anything worthwhile.

Hitler probably thought things out more carefully than Trump. I think Trump is planning as he goes.

How are we going to put the right back together after the convention? Will the Trump-dumpers suck on a pacifier and be quiet if they lose? Will the Trump-pumpers engage in rare white conservative riots if he loses? Will we hate each other forever?

I feel like God gave us a holiness-hating, carnal Democrat as judgment, and now he may be about to give us a carnal Republican, to prove to us that being right politically isn’t enough to solve our problems.

I don’t think Cruz is going anywhere. I think the Enquirer story will continue to develop. A real journalist from The Washington Times has confirmed that Cruz had at least two mistresses, and The Enquirer’s batting average in this area is devastating to politicians. It appears that The Enquirer exposed itself to big-time liability by publishing identifiable photos of the two non-public-figure “mistresses,” and they are not stupid enough to do that without something to back it up. The National Enquirer will falsely say that Liz Hurley got a facelift from Martians, but it won’t falsely say an obscure identifiable person slept with a politician.

I think Cruz has offended God by allowing crooked dominionist prosperity preachers to proclaim him “anointed.” If Cruz wins, those jokers will be all over the air, saying it proves their demented doctrine is right. If Trump, a very hands-off Christian, wins, it won’t prove much of anything with regard to religion.

I can’t endorse anyone. I will vote for Trump if he gets the nomination, but no one will ever hear me say God approves of him. I will vote for Trump for the same reason I would run into a Mormon temple during a tornado.

I’m so glad I don’t get agitated about this stuff. Things will get worse and worse. The socialists or Muslims will eventually take over, and we will have no rights at all. We need to be prepared spiritually. If I can’t deal with a Democrat in the White House, how will I have peace when we’re part of the caliphate, or when morons from the ghetto come to my house with government badges and tell me it’s now an Obama field office?

I hope a Republican wins, and that we get two or three more Supreme Court justices who aren’t nuts, but in the end, my peace has to be based on my relationship with God, not external circumstances. Some people are “prepping” by buying bullets and dried food. That has a little value, but the only prepping guaranteed to work is spiritual prepping.

If you’re still tossed around by political waves, I highly recommend getting right with God. Get baptized with the Spirit, pray in tongues as much as you can, and learn how to dominate instead of being dominated. If you don’t, you won’t be ready when the S really HTF, and you will be pawing around in the dirt with carnal tools, like an animal displaced by a mudslide.
