How do families work?

Do parents and grandparents want the worst for their children and grandchildren?

Want their kids and grandkids to go to the worst schools, have the poorest futures, and not be able to provide or see to their needs?  

When under siege and the threat of war, not defend or protect their children or homes out of fear?  

🤔

Is this how families work?  

Always without love, without resolve to protect from harm or give their children and grandchildren a better and brighter future in peace and prosperity?

 

🤔

What do we need at this crossroad of history in the face of such uncertainty, fear, hate, and aggression?

What must we do before crossing the Rubicon of history and legacy to ensure peace, security, and prosperity?

How do we fight the ignorance of intolerance, abusive power, and control spiraling us into acts of violence, degradation, destruction, and ultimately poverty and destabilizing insecurities?  

How can we address the problems facing the world if we cannot even address the problems within ourselves, especially when we judge first and blame others without first resolving the problems within ourselves? 

We can address piecemeal the problems of mass propaganda and AI algorithms of brainwashing into an idealized perfect grandiose illusional authoritative power propagated in fear and instigated in the incitement of hate and malcontent, wring our hands in worry, pray for sanity that sane and wise minds will ultimately prevail, but what will this accomplish when the lack of defense, check and balance to our fundamental principles of freedom and peace, and faith go unheeded?

Are we faithful to our faith, our Lord, or do we often give in to hypocrisy?  

How many of us live up to the commandments and expectations of the Lord? 

For those who are Christians, do we even practice the most basic tenets to love, love the Lord, and thy neighbor as self in fellowship, and have Christian charity for those in need?  

  

Then how can we even call ourselves Christians, especially when we never do what Jesus would do? 

What we need at this point, before the ideas of visionary transformative peace, security, and prosperity, is to return and defend the integrity of self, faith, and the fundamental principles of freedom, peace, and justice for all.

Warriors of Christ

For the “Warriors of Christ”, the Lord, the Holy Spirit, and the Son come first.

Christ is of the Spirit and the Word, not Caesar and the mundane.

Therefore, the Lord and spiritual laws come before the earthly mundane aspects of Caesar.

Consideration and diligence are based upon what Jesus would do, not what Caesar would do.

The ultimate goal is salvation, achieved by receiving the Lord's salvation through a purity of heart, marked by love, grace, peace, and gratitude, with the Holy Spirit.

What are the elements of the “Warriors of Christ”?*

Faith and Trust in the Lord: Confidence comes from the power of the Holy Spirit and faith in the Lord, not one's own. 

Fighting for Victory: The "warrior" fights for the Lord and a position of victory secured by Jesus Christ's resurrection, not for victory itself.

Spiritual Warfare: Believers are called to be warriors in a spiritual battle, using the power of the Holy Spirit rather than worldly methods, fighting for the holy against Satan and the unholy.

The Armor of God: Putting on the full armor of God—including the helmet of salvation, shield of faith, and Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God)—activating the Lord's armor by connecting to the power of the Holy Spirit with purity of heart, conviction of mind, and faith of spirit, which is essential to stand against spiritual attacks.*

Service and Love: Warriors serve others through love and compassion, living by the way, the truth, and the light in Christian values of love, peace, and fellowship. 

🏳️‍✝️

Because the “Warriors of Christ” represent Jesus, the teachings and values, they must honorably stand firm and defend the banner and flag of the cross with integrity, decency, and love in the fight for eternal love and peace of the holy, against the hate, violence, and the destructive harm of Satan and the unholy.

🕊

*Ephesians 6:13-17 ✝️

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the unholy, and having done all, to stand firm with the Holy Spirit.

Belt of Truth: Fastened around the waist, representing truth and uprightness of conscience. 

Breastplate of Righteousness: Worn to protect the heart, symbolizing a righteous and holy life. 

Feet fitted with the Readiness of the Gospel of Peace: the shoes symbolizes the readiness to proclaim the good news of peace with the Lord. 

Shield of Faith: Used to extinguish all the "flaming arrows of the evil one," which are the fiery darts of deception and temptation. 

Helmet of Salvation: Worn on the head, representing the hope and assurance of salvation. 

Sword of the Spirit: The Word of the Lord and the Light of the Holy Spirit is used as a weapon to fight against the unholy forces.

🤔

Is there a difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament?  

What is the major difference?

Should Christians practice “An eye for an eye”, especially without restraint or discernment?

Act like the teachings in the New Testament do not exist and as if Jesus Christ never walked the earth or was crucified and died on the cross?  

Totally ignore our commandment to love in fellowship?  

Then how can those hypocrites be called Christians, especially if there is no Christ in them?

Trace Your Family Tree.

 

Trace your family tree.  

🤔

Where will it end up?

On which continent, in which country?

Where did your mother's and father's ancestors stem?

Because unless you are pure 100 percent Native American chances are you are from any place but here.

Different places in time still does not change the fact that your roots began elsewhere.

💭

So, what are your roots?  From where did those roots stem?

Prosperity and Peace, War and Poverty

 

🤔

Is there a correlation between prosperity and peace?

Yes, prosperity and peace are not only strongly correlated, they are mutually reinforcing.

According to the Vision of Humanity, prosperity and peace are mutually reinforcing processes that go hand in hand.  

What does this mean?

It means that if there is less prosperity, then there is less peace and vice versa. 

“Peaceful nations are more likely to be prosperous, and economic prosperity helps build and sustain peace. 

This relationship creates a "virtuous cycle" where positive developments in one area promote growth in the other, and a "vicious cycle" where decline in one area harms the other.”* 

Conversely, war correlates directly with and mutually reinforces poverty and vice versa. War brings about destructive acts of a "vicious cycle" where decline in one harms the other. Thus causing war and poverty.

If a nation wants to remain stable, powerful, and peaceful, it must retain prosperity, and if a nation wants to be prosperous, it must retain stability, the rule of law, and peace.

Failure to remain peaceful, will result in detrimental effects causing vicious cycles that bring about destabilization in societyand markets, destruction, violence, war and poverty.

*Google AI search question, “What is the correlation between prosperity and peace?”

See evidence for the correlation in higher GDP in peaceful countries.  And historical facts, such as after WWII Germany was destroyed and millions were starving.

The Curiosity of Worldly Culture

 

🙂🙃

The greatest wonders of the world are unexplored yet the discoveries are before our very eyes. 

What are these wonders?

They are the worldly cultures yet to be discovered by each one of us.  

What are they? 

The United Nations is celebrating 80 years of existence.  

Each representative speaker carries their cultural identity, heritage, and stories inside their mind, heart, and spirit. 

The curious question arises: who are they?

What is their cultural identity and heritage, social connections in music, art, dance, and stories, and spiritual insights in expressions of care in ministries of love and peace?

Since the mission of the UN is to promote peace, and if conflicts that break that peace arise from misunderstandings, then we must dispel those ignorances and come to a better understanding.

If wars destroying peace are conducted from aggression, then we must defend against aggressive incursions with a stronger collective resolve toward deterrence through collective diplomatic, economic, military, and civilian measures in understanding.

Working together to create a better world peace through love and understanding involves a greater curiosity, discovery, and education about world cultures and the people inspiring these histories, stories, and legends.

We need something to bring people together in understanding.  

We need a place to discover worldly wonders.  

We need something like the Olympics of cultural discoveries that can bring together the cultural wonders of the world (in understanding) through friendly competitions or exhibitions in music, art, dance, culinary delights, stories, and spiritual insights of enlightened and caring ministries of stewardship, love, and peace.

"Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.”

                                         - Isaiah 40:31

🕯

Trust the Holy Spirit to strengthen your inner being and heal your soul in love and peace.

Though we may grow weary of the fight against heartless aggression, mindless fear, and loveless-soulless hate, we will not faint and weaken our resolve, for as long as we have heart and dreams of peace and love, we will soar on angel’s wings and endure to see love and peace once again heal and flourish in our lands.

"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith".

Universal Light

 

There is a universal Light;

The Light of love, hope, joy, peace, and Life.

It lives in the hearts of the ones who dream dreams of love and peace and heavenly sights. 

Dreaming dreams of wonder,

Dreaming dreams of light, and dreaming

Dreams of twinkling stars illuminating the night.  

Where there is a will in hearts of love and peace,

There is light,

Lights of transformative peace and love with amazing insight.

Transforming the Life of the world in the wonders of love, hope, joy, peace, and universal Light.

Are we really unable to walk and chew gum at the same time? 

It seems that way.

Why must we put all our eggs in one basket? The basket that only contains coal, oil, and gas?

Why should our stockings hung by the fireplace only be filled with coal? 

Why can't we diversify into trillion-dollar industries focused on clean, green, and sustainable energy? 

Especially in areas where we were once the innovators, leaders, and market creators.

Should we give up those trillion-dollar market shares just because some people fear a bit of competition? 

This isn't true competition when there is potential for growth in expansive areas. 

Are we really willing to give in to foreign competitors who are eager to take the whole pie?

 

🤔

What does it mean to have a heart filled with hate?

"We know that we have passed out of death into Life, because we love our brothers and sisters. He who does not love remains in [spiritual] death. 

All who hate his brother [in Christ] is [at heart] a murderer [by God's standards]; and you know that no murderer has eternal life enduring in him".

                                       - 1 John 3:14-15

People who hate do not love. Without love, there is no spiritual life, only spiritual death.  

Therefore, when a person hates the first murder victim, it is themselves in spiritual death.

Those who hate others—whether due to race, color, gender, creed, sexual identity, sexual orientation, or any other reason—fail to grasp the true nature of humanity for it is not their place to judge or criticize the Lord's creations. 

This kind of hatred guarantees eternal death, not eternal life.

What is spiritual death?

Spiritual death is a state of separation from the Lord brought on by sin. 

Hate is a destructive force that stands in direct opposition to the Lord's command to love, severing connections with the Lord and blocking the formation of meaningful relationships.

The greatest harm we can do to our children is to teach them hate, separating them from the Lord, blocking their connection to the Holy Spirit and spiritual life.

This prevents them from knowing true happiness, cursing and condemning your children to eternal death.

Therefore, never teach our children to hate or expose them to toxic hate which can lead them astray and forever spiritually dead.

🕯

We must remember love.

Love our children as the Lord with the Holy Spirit, loves, heals, and transforms the lives of loneliness, pain, and suffering within into life in love, hope, peace, and light.  

When we remember love, we recall our humanity, our connection with the Holy Spirit, our relationships with others, and our purpose in the Lord.

Only with love can our hearts nurture spiritual life and only with love can we connect with the love and peace of the Holy Spirit to eternal life.

🕊

 

💭

How far from the Lord's grace are we willing to fall (for that of Caesar)?

How much hate, fear, dishonor, and disgrace are we willing to expose our children to?

How much of our souls are we prepared to compromise?

Is this what Jesus would do? How Christ taught us to behave and treat one another?

How many red lines crossed before all is lost?  

Do we let sins or abuse of power tempt and corrupt us like drug addicts not knowing how or when to just say no?  

Do we bow down and grovel like cowards and slaves so that our children would know no freedom, rights, or bravery?

Or do we live our lives like mindless attack dogs attacking, hurting, harming anyone in the way out of ignorance, fear, and hate?

Should we live our lives in constant fear and pass those fears down to our children and future generations, including fear of Satan contradicting the teachings of the Lord to not fear, instead love?

How we choose to live, the choices we make—whether rooted in love, hate, or fear—directly impact our salvation, our society, and the cultural and spiritual legacy we leave for our children and future generations.  

Therefore, let us think twice before we allow ourselves to be corrupted, played, terrorized, and bowed.

We must remember our love for the Lord and the teachings of Christ for the consequences of forsaking these values are too great to ignore. 

Our salvation, our society, and the future of our children and grandchildren depend on our unwavering commitment to love, honoring the teachings of Christ, and our service in stewardship to humanity and the world.

**Is Hate a Sin?**

Yes, hate is a grievous sin.

**Why is Hatred Considered a Grievous Sin?**

Hatred is considered a grievous sin because it contradicts the Lord's greatest commandment to love and the commandment to "love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:38-39; 1 John 4:2).  The neighbor is defined as anyone in need, as illustrated in the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37).

The act of hate is directly linked to the grave sin of murder. 

1 John 3:15 states, "Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer."

Moreover, harboring hatred means walking in darkness, which stands in opposition to a life of faith and love. Hatred and bigotry have no place within this framework.

If Jesus Christ were to return today again as a Middle Eastern man, would He be met with hatred and rejection by bigots and racists?

Bigotry and racism—the unfounded belief that one race is inherently superior to another—are grievously sinful for many reasons. Hatred toward others prevents individuals from truly loving anyone, including the Lord. 

This principle is clearly expressed in 1 John 4:20: "Whoever claims to love God but hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen."

Racism and bigotry violate the greatest commandments to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:38-39). This leads to the "murder" of one’s own soul, condemning it to darkness (1 John 2:9, 11).

In addition to hate, racism also involves the sin of discrimination by showing favoritism and partiality. James 2:9 clearly states, "If you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors." 

Acts 10:34-35 emphasizes that "God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears Him and does what is righteous."

Ultimately, hate undermines our calling, for we are instructed to "love each other as I have loved you" (John 15:12) and to walk in the way, the truth, and the life, guided by the Holy Spirit toward the Lord's light.

🕊

 

"Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory". 

                                  -  Matthew 24:30

The above scriptural passage describes the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  

Strange that though they will see it is unclear what Christ's physical appearance will be. 

Will he return with features as before, a Middle Eastern man with olive or brown skin, dark eyes, and curly hair?  

How would he be received by Christians?  

Will he be rejected for the color of his skin or features that may not be as pleasing to the eyes?

Will he be welcomed?

Since it is Christ's judgment that truly matters, will it matter if Jesus was welcomed or rejected?

"I charge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead". 

                                - 2 Timothy 4:1. 

What would judgment most likely be if Christ was rejected based upon hate and  appearance?

🕊

P.s.

What if Jesus Christ decides to come back as a She?

How many people are willing to lose a hand?

Which one would you like to lose, the left or the right?

How many people would like to keep both hands?

Since we have a two-party system, how many people would like a functioning government?

How many would like a government with respectful discourse, practical and reasonable policies, adherence to the Constitution and basic universal human rights, non-interference of civil liberties, and laissez-faire economics?

💭

 

**Who Are We?**

Are we not the country that leaves no one behind? 

Do we abandon every man for himself? 

Are we not the nation where the law states there is a duty to care? 

Regardless of our religious or spiritual beliefs, we hold a profound responsibility to care for the poor, uplift those in need, and ensure the welfare of every member of our society. 

No matter our political or social beliefs, those in government have a duty and an oath to defend the Constitution and protect people from harm. 

We do not need those in power inciting violence or divisions that lead to more harm and a lack of care. 

We do not need those in power taking away our rights, including our First Amendment rights, through government overreach. 

Despite our differences, government and society should reflect our Christian and spiritual values, untainted by selfish political gains and abuses of power. 

Who we are and who we become matters to our democratic society, to the world, and to humanity. 

If we disregard our spiritual responsibility to care, ignore the teachings of scripture, and stray from our national identity, then we jeopardize not only democracy and the American brand, but also our faith, spirituality, and salvation.

So, who are we?

🇺🇸 🕊

 

😶‍🌫️

We may not all have psychic abilities, but we certainly possess instincts and the capacity for discernment.

Do warning bells not ring when you hear calls for violence against the homeless?

This blatant disregard for human life should raise serious concerns and red flags that alert us to the dangers at hand.

If it doesn’t, we need to seriously examine our commitment to being both Christian and humane.

Caring for the poor and treating others as we wish to be treated is a fundamental aspect of our ministry. 

Ignoring and violating this principle goes against spiritual values and the teachings of Christ.

So, where has your compassion gone? 

What has become of your faith?

Who are you, truly?

🤔

Would extinguishing lights in one area of the world allow other areas to shine brighter without producing new light? 

No, it would simply make the entire world less bright.  

Similarly, if one country enters an economic recession, causing a cascading effect that impacts others, would it magically lead to greater prosperity in those countries, especially with fewer customers? 

It's a complete myth that disorder, destruction, and global destabilization can somehow result in prosperity and increased power, particularly when economic stability is absent.  

How do we know this?  

History.  Records show that creating oppressive conflicts often leads to devastating outcomes.

**World War II (1939–1945)**

- **What happened:** Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, initiated World War II with its invasion of Poland, which triggered a global conflict with catastrophic consequences. 

- **Devastation:** Germany's aggressive actions ultimately led to its own destruction. By the end of the war, major cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, and Dresden were obliterated by Allied bombing campaigns.

- **Immediate Post-War Devastation:**

  

  - **Physical Ruin:** Allied bombing left much of Germany in ruins, destroying millions of homes, buildings, and critical infrastructure.

  

  - **Humanitarian Crisis:** Millions of Germans were left homeless, starving, and lacking food and shelter.

  

  - **Displaced Populations:** Many Germans who were evacuated from their homes, along with ethnic Germans expelled from regions annexed by Poland and the Soviet Union, became displaced persons, caught in a state of chaos. 

The nation was divided into East and West Germany, lost significant territory, and endured an unimaginable loss of life. The war also saw the systematic murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime, representing a monumental moral and historical stain.

**Syrian Civil War (2011 to Present):**

This ongoing conflict originated as a civilian protest movement and has resulted in the near-total destruction of vast parts of the nation. 

- **Infrastructure Destruction:** As of 2023, approximately 90% of Syria's infrastructure has been devastated, and major cities like Aleppo and Deir al-Zour lie in ruins. 

- **Catastrophic Loss of Life:** The war has claimed an estimated half a million lives, displaced millions more, and caused immense suffering due to the lack of food, clean water, and medical care. 

- **Cultural Heritage Loss:** Many of Syria's world heritage sites, including ancient markets, mosques, and archaeological sites, have been severely damaged or looted.

There are countless examples throughout history where chaos, conflict, and war have resulted in tragic and devastating outcomes. Suffice it to say, fear, oppression, turmoil, and conflict never lead to prosperity and peace.

What is happening with some people?

Which Christian denomination has no ministries dedicated to the poor or has never provided assistance to the needy?

The Scriptures are clear: 

“If among you, one of your brothers becomes poor in any of your towns within the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or close your hand against your poor brother. Instead, you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be.” 

— Deuteronomy 15:7-8

Furthermore, “Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors Him.” 

— Proverbs 14:31

It's essential to remember, “Listen, my beloved brothers: has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom He has promised to those who love Him?”

— James 2:5

And consider this: “If anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?”

— 1 John 3:17

Finally, the King will affirm, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

— Matthew 25:40

Organizations such as Catholic Charities, Bright Hope, Samaritan’s Purse, the Salvation Army, and World Relief stand as powerful testaments to the unwavering commitment of ministries that support the poor.

These extend beyond Christianity, proving that compassion and generosity flourish within other faiths, including Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism.

Ministering to the poor is undeniably at the heart of Christianity and every major religion. 

Therefore, we must reject any notion of violence against the poor. 

Instead, we should resolutely continue to follow scriptural commands, minister to the poor and the needy, show compassion for the less fortunate, and lend a helping hand whenever possible.

🕊

 

🤔

There is a fundamental reason why things work.

Every situation is governed by the principles of cause and effect, shaped by the natural laws of physics and metaphysics. 

When failures occur, they trigger a domino effect. 

The extent of this reaction and the number of people affected depend on actions and reactions driven by incompetence, noncompliance, and violations of established principles and laws.

We understand cause and effect through empirical, observable outcomes. 

By studying history and examining past records, we recognize that truth prevails, and unsustainable practices inevitably collapse.

There is also a higher purpose at play, where the Holy Spirit connects with our individual spiritual journeys, guiding us toward our ultimate paths of salvation or damnation. 

Those blinded by their desires, who disregard intelligence and established principles, mistakenly believe that their outcomes will be positive and sustainable. 

When situations deteriorate, collapses occur for a reason; rising fears and dangers increase risks, driving away investors and destabilizing the economy and society at large.

Those who flout spiritual laws and the commandments of the Lord deceive themselves into thinking their path will lead to salvation. 

When individuals stray toward negativity, they become unrecognizable to the Lord and to themselves, making it impossible to receive the love and peace of the Holy Spirit while trapped in hate, fear, and sin.

What is your purpose and goal in life? 

If your goal is salvation, you must follow and adhere to spiritual laws, understand the workings of the Holy Spirit, and do not sin, hate, or harm.

Similarly, if you desire prosperity and peace rather than chaos, destruction, bankruptcy,  and poverty, you must adhere to intelligent economic principles, sustainability, and principled laws.

Otherwise, it will never work, at least not for long.

Love

 

“Love is patient and kind;  

Love does not envy or boast;  

It is not arrogant or rude.  

It does not insist on its own way;  

It is not irritable or resentful;  

It does not rejoice in wrongdoing,  

But rejoices with the truth.  

Love bears all things,  

Believes all things,  

Hopes all things,  

Endures all things.”  

                               – 1 Corinthians 13:4-7  

Love never demeans or harms.  

The Lord loves every child without exception.  

Love does not discriminate based on sexual identity, sexual orientation, gender, race, nationality, religion, or any other characteristic.

Despite past mistranslations in the New Testament that may have caused confusion, Jesus Christ's message is unmistakable: love is love, and it knows no hatred or discrimination.  

We must differentiate between the true teachings of the Gospels and other scriptural passages that fail to reflect Jesus Christ's profound message of love and fellowship.  

Every child must understand that regardless of who they are or who they choose to be, they are unconditionally loved, supported, and safe—not marginalized for their identity or criticized for their choices.  

If we embody love, be love, and exhibit love without judgment or criticism, then our children will know love. 

The foundations of love and peace will grow naturally in their hearts, free from hate, insecurities, and self-loathing.  

We must ask, “What would Jesus Christ do?”

Then follow what Jesus would do, by leading by example and demonstrating love in fellowship, in peace, in restraint, with patience and kindness in our hearts.

🕊

 

✝️

It has been nearly two thousand years since Christ walked the earth.

How close are we to embodying Christ's teachings of love and peace, the concept that the meek shall inherit the earth?

If we are not close, then how far are we?

Are we so distant as to be considered unchristian?

Have we regressed to the times of the Old Testament, where the principle was "an eye for an eye"?

Shouldn't we live as enlightened individuals filled with the love and peace of the Holy Spirit in the times after the New Testament?

🕊

 

💭

Take a moment to reflect upon who you are; what kind of a person are you?

Do you stand up for the innocent and protect those in need?

Are you honest, kind, empathetic, and brave?

Do you embody honor and faith?

How would you define yourself?

💭

What do you believe the Lord would see in your heart, mind, and soul?

🕊

 

In times of tragedy resulting from violence, we must resist the urge to assign blame and instead focus on solutions. 

We need to take a hard look at our actions and recognize why some individuals believe that turning to violence is an acceptable response to societal issues. 

Violent rhetoric only permeates our society, leading to more school shootings, the tragic loss of school-aged children, increased domestic violence, and widespread political unrest. 

Clearly, we must do more to prevent this cycle of violence. 

We honor the memory of those we have lost by actively working to ensure these tragedies do not recur. 

It’s time for us to stand together and create real change.

Do you believe that power or material wealth will lead you to salvation, grant you entry into heaven?

“Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

                                    - Matthew 19:24

Why is this the case? 

“The verse highlights how wealth can create a false sense of security and self-sufficiency, making it hard to be humble and dependent on the Lord for salvation.”*

The allure of wealth and power can create trappings in the material and mundane, diverging from the spiritual and eternal.

When worldly desires clash with the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, the outcome can be disillusionment, betrayal, and even self-destruction.

Which apostle's desire for worldly power led to his disillusionment, betrayal, corruption, and destruction?**

In the end, anything that does not lead to salvation is a waste of time and a distraction; it is meaningless to the expressed purpose of a spiritual life centered on fellowship and stewardship.

*Google AI search, meaning of scripture passage, Matthew 19:24.

**Answer: Judas Iscariot, who sold Jesus out for 30 pieces of silver, leading to Jesus' death, and his own death by suicide.

🕊

**Note:**

Disillusionment often stems from a disconnect with the Holy Spirit. This can occur due to misunderstandings, ignorance, the lure of wealth and power, or failing to embrace the commandments of love and fellowship. 

Such disillusionment inevitably leads to doubt, restricts spiritual experiences, and may even result in sinful behavior.

Additionally, individuals sometimes misplace their blame on the Lord for tragedies that arise from human actions.

This misunderstanding often stems from a flawed belief that God is all-powerful and controls everything (only Satan tries to control and possess everything and everyone). 

In reality, we have the gift of free will. 

While the Holy Spirit offers us guidance, it is ultimately our choice to listen and follow that direction.

 

Do you view the world through the eyes of Caesar, through tribal power, or through judgment? 

Creating a better world does not mean striving for a perfect one, devoid of growth, participation, or the profound love and warmth of the Holy Spirit. 

Perfection is an illusion; there is no perfect religion, political system, leader, or individual.

When we label people and place them into political boxes—even in apolitical roles—we stifle growth and understanding. If our aim is to seek true power, we must redefine what constitutes real power.

Real power is rooted in knowledge and wisdom, not in control, ignorance, or the misuse of authority. 

Knowledge is power because it equips us with the ability to understand significance, develop competence, and solve real-world problems.

Our focus must be on learning and enlightenment, pursuing knowledge and understanding to uncover effective processes that can transform our world for the better. 

We cannot truly learn without listening and engaging through the lens of faith, love, and fellowship—maintaining a non-judgmental attitude while embracing the love and peace of the Holy Spirit.

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." 

                                     – John 8:7

This powerful assertion from Jesus came when a woman accused of adultery was brought before Christ with the intent to stone her. 

At the time, before Christ's crucifixion, none present were without sin or yet cleansed. The accusers, confronted with their own imperfections, left in silence.

“Jesus stood up and said to her, ‘Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?’ She replied, ‘No one, Lord.’ And Jesus declared, ‘Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.’” 

                                         – John 8:10-11

This teaches us a vital lesson: before casting judgment on others, we must examine our own faults and sins. 

We should approach people and situations with compassion and a heart open to mercy. 

True understanding and growth arise from this perspective, enabling us to create a better world together.

There Is No Room

 

There is no room for political violence in our political discussions. 

There is no room for violence in our schools. 

There is no room for violence in our homes. 

There is no room for violence in love and fellowship with our fellow travelers through life.  

🕊

Our hearts go out in sympathy to the victims of violence, their families, and all those affected by these tragedies.

Did you know that less than half of the people in the United States can trace their ancestry back to the colonial era without the inclusion of more recent immigrant ancestors? 

As a result, most people today would be forced to deport their own grandparents or parents in accordance with their ideals of immigration purity. 

It's somewhat similar to Voldemort in Harry Potter, who sought to eliminate anyone who was not a pureblood—ironically including himself, if he had taken the time to reflect on it.

☝️

If you stop to reflect on it, the colonists themselves were in fact immigrants.

Only the Native Americans can claim a true, natural origin in the Americas.

🤔

Furthermore, if we are to trace our origins back to the beginning, then as children of God, everyone and everything ultimately belongs to the Lord.

"Do not pity the dead, Harry.  Pity the living. And above all, pity those who live without love.”*  

How can a person thrive when so lacking and pathetically weak in love?

Love and peace within us are essential for connecting with the Holy Spirit and forging meaningful bonds with one another. 

Without the Holy Spirit, we lack protection from sin, guidance, and true wisdom—resulting in pitiful ignorance and emptiness. 

A life without profound love and a clear sense of purpose ultimately lacks meaning and fulfillment, and is a sad pitiful waste of life and time.

*Quote from Dumbledore in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”

🕊

🤔

The interesting thing about love is that it is both the most powerful and gentlest force in the universe. 

Love is the only commandment that Christ requires us to follow. 

The opposite of love—hate and fear—represents the temptation of Satan, which leads us to break the commandments to love the Lord and our neighbors as ourselves.

If we are to love in fellowship, why is there a lack of fellowship and empathy in our society and culture?

Why should we view anything opposing love as anything other than a violation of commandments that harm our salvation, our souls, our children, and our society?

Why indulge in damnation, destruction, and sin? 

Such actions represent weaknesses that cause harm, rather than strengths that lead us to love, salvation, prosperity, and peace.

What is the opposite of love, salvation, prosperity, and peace?   

What happens if we head in this opposite direction—away from love and fellowship, away from the Lord’s commandments, and away from prosperity and peace?

🕊

 

🤔

In the end, the most important factor is the Lord's opinion and how the Lord will judge our actions.

We must ask ourselves: Are we actively following the Lord's commandments? 

Are we able to receive and be guided by the love and peace of the Holy Spirit?

Do we embody Christ with love in our hearts for the Lord, our neighbors, and all of humanity?

How would Jesus perceive the world today and each one of us? 

What does the Lord think of us? 

What do you think the Lord's judgment would be?

🕊

 

Power and control (taken together as a whole) is not and does not equate to love.  

Therefore, it has no power or strength in knowledge and no control in self or self-mastery.

The pursuit of power and control is inherently destructive, sinful, and ultimately damning and Satanic.

Prolonged, continuous practice in Satanic power and control will corrupt the sinner's soul beyond recognition. 

Individuals obsessed with achieving total control become consumed by twisted power trips and irrational desires to manipulate others and situations into submission, often down to trivial details.

These individuals continuously feed their insatiable hunger for absolute power and control.

As the obsessions in the grandiose power trips and control increase, the obsessed lose sight of love, fellowship, empathy, and wisdom.  

The root cause of why some individuals gravitate toward power and control lies in their unresolved fears and insecurities at the core of a poor and troubled spirit.

Instead of seeking solace and healing from the Lord, the unholy and grandiose individuals fill their spiritual void with illusions of grandeur, self-perfection, and power and control.

These fearsome individuals refuse to confront their fears and insecurities because doing so would shatter their delusion of absolute control.

As a result, these fears and insecurities escalate, creating a chasm of conflict between their distorted sense of perfection and the harsh truths of reality.

This intensifying struggle breeds paranoia, warping their perception of reality while fueling an insatiable craving for more power. 

As manipulations and abuses of power increase, the damage to their souls becomes profound and irreversible.

Ultimately, their inner obsession with grandiosity translates into a relentless quest for total control—an obsession rooted in fear, insecurity, and paranoia. 

This distortion manifests in alarming and destructive outcomes in the world, oftentimes with little consideration for the economic or societal impacts.

For society to thrive and flourish, it must operate based on intelligence and freedom—not on power and control. 

Intelligence fosters competence and thoughtful consideration of significant factors and outcomes, while freedom nurtures creativity and upholds individual human rights, preventing the abuse of power.

Therefore, to receive salvation, it is vital individuals deliberately reject the practices of power and control, as these destructive behaviors decrease sensitivity to reality, and hinder their ability to receive the Holy Spirit and experience real salvation.

You have individuals wanting to be the most powerful -

💭

What is the most powerful force in the universe?

Love.

Are these individuals the most loving in relationships and fellowships?  

The most caring in deeds and stewardship?

How do we know that love is the most powerful force in the universe?

Because we know from scripture that "God is love".*

*1 John 4:8, 1 John 4:16

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

🕊

 

Let's be clear —

 is imperative to recognize that when we fail to treat deadly diseases or vaccinate against them—especially when they are contagious—lives are lost. 

We must confront the harsh reality that lives, including those of our children, are on the line. 

Those in power have a fiduciary duty and an obligation to prioritize the health and welfare of the public and listen to the expertise of qualified professionals—

doctors with the education and experience necessary to tackle these critical issues.

Ignoring this responsibility will result in unnecessary loss of life that could have been easily prevented. 

We must hold ourselves accountable to the Lord and to humanity, rejecting any misguided notions of power that lead to harm.

We should fear more the loss of lives, loss of our humanity, the loss of our souls, and salvation than any one person or Satan.

And do what is necessary to save lives and protect the people, especially our children from harm.

 

When you engage in destructive behavior, the results will be __________.

When you harbor hate and violate the Lord's commandments to love, your soul becomes _________.

When you disregard economic laws and principles, the outcomes will be ________.

Prosperity and peace ___________a commitment to both spiritual and economic laws.

Salvation involves the ability to ________ the love and peace of the Holy Spirit, to ________ purity of heart, and to _________ to the commandments of the Lord.

 

We are accountable for our actions and will answer to the Lord for them.

If we foster a culture that promotes lies and harm, unholiness, and abuse, then the sins and crimes against humanity will weigh heavily on our shoulders.

Upon our death, we will be judged and sorted based on the state of our spirit—whether it is holy, indifferent, or unholy—and by the grace, sins, or crimes we committed and unrepentant during our lives.

There are no excuses for sinful behaviors and unholy acts when the intent is to harm, corrupt, abuse, or manipulate into disreputable sins, compromised behaviors, or power-tripping causes of Caesar.

For if we seek salvation, we must cultivate a holy culture characterized by a purity of heart, dedicated to fellowship, stewardship, and the promotion of general welfare, care, and well-being—both physical and spiritual—for everyone, all people everywhere.

🕊

🤔

The question arises: Why target innocent people, friends, and fellow Americans?

Why attack with such ruthlessness and cruelty?

Is it all about power and control?

For what? 

Service of the Lord or Satan?

For the betterment of humanity?

If the goal is the betterment of humanity and in the service of the Lord, how should we be treating one another?
