BURN BABY BURN

President Obama said on Thursday that the Florida pastor’s plan endangers American troops and is “contrary to our values” of religious tolerance  (New York Times, September 9, 2010)

American values aside, something is amiss. Assigning blame, guilt and if you will, power to a small church of 50, somehow demeans the office of the President of The United States.

It speaks to me of our President acquiescence s to veiled threat from the Muslim world and our Military Leaders. In another matter,  Imam Rauf, has issued veiled threats; if the Muslim center close to the former world trade center is moved, it could/may trigger murder toward American soldiers and Americans.

I am personally opposed to the pastor burning the Koran (s).  In my view, I would approach burning be done in Spiritual warfare.  My view, I think is, congruent with orthodox New Testament values.

I know something about fear, and fear is torment.  The spirit of fear is not passive. It demands more allegiance and is intransigent.

I know something about “giving” away “my power” to others. It too is rooted in a spirit of fear.

The question I want asked, Does the Church have a response to the Koran? What I have heard in the media is a higgly wiggly apologetic spirit of a bastardized American gospel.

The Gospel is grace and truth in one, a Person. The good news is about a person, the Centerpiece of Fathers creation and our Fathers heart. He is the Alpha and Omega. All things dwell in Him, by Him and for Him. He Was and Is. Before, He is I AM. This view is not radical, its  the simple gospel 101. This is the normal. All others systems of religious theology is radical.

If this is not true, Jesus is a fraud and liar. The bible is a fable, a myth of humans. I too am a fool and I should be labeled a heretic and insane, and yes burn  Ken burn, like was done in the dark ages. I am blessed to live in America, for this reason I can write this blog. Go to Egypt where it is illegal to evangelize the gospel, In any country that Islam is the domineering religion, the gospel is either scorned or illegal. The spirit of Islam is intolerant, so is religion, fear is intolerant .  The Spirit of the Gospel is a person.

I want to say, blood is everywhere. Christian religion has murdered millions of Jews, and Muslims. Luther believed he was doing God a favor by killing Jews, the Catholic Church murdered Jews by the thousands, it goes on and on. Today America murders millions of unborn babies in the name of rights. I too had blood on my heart and hands. But then came a greater blood, that was given to me as a gift. Nothing and I mean nothing comes within 100 million light years of the Blood of Jesus. It was real blood, not a religion, if was a person, it was and is Life. Either I live in Him or I don’t.

This is my proclamation today. Its that simple.

MY TAKE AWAY ON PROP 8

Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate Satan And there’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend: From the Song, slow train coming, 1994 Bob Dylan

FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION OR STEP ASIDE

Judge Walker’s decision on same-sex marriage is a reminder of the proper role of judges in our society. Above all else, judges should follow the Constitution. For that reason, Judge Walker’s decision should be condemned .

Judge Walker showed from the outset of the Prop 8 case that he had one priority: To subvert the Rule of Law. His efforts to televise the trial, later overturned by the Supreme Court, show his true intent. Judge Walker wanted to televise the Prop 8 litigation to make sure it would be a show trial  for the advocates of same-sex marriage. Although the Supreme Court did overturn his decision, Judge Walker pressed on. He never backed down. It is hard to believe that he is a Bush appointee — but this is San Francisco, after all.

Now the case heads to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Ninth Circuit is a famously  lawless circuit. The next stop is the Supreme Court, which will probably divide 5–4 in this case. The swing vote is Justice Kennedy. Although his vote is often unpredictable, Justice Kennedy has tended to vote with the Supreme Court’s activist  wing in cases related to homosexuality.

We hope that Justice Kennedy rejects liberal elite  opinion  follows the Constitution, and upholds Prop 8.

Public opinion about same-sex marriage is changing. The Supreme Court should recognize this and step aside .

The choice is clear: It a choice between following the true Constitution and caving in to public pressures and opinion. We urge the Supreme Court to show the courage to follow the Constitution just as the Framers intended.

As someone said in [I think this statement was from Lou Engle] Kansas City, “what happens in California, happens next in the Nation” (paraphrase)

EMERGING STREET PROPHETS

For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

Wandering outcasts, misunderstood by the Church, these vagabond intercessor prophets roam the streets for the lost.  Howling in the night air, hearing the Fathers heart. Men and women, with raging fiery hearts, burn for their beloved.

These chosen ones, limping and crushed, breathe this wondrous grace, daily; searching for the ones, trapped in terror beyond description.

Filled with gladness of joy, an anointing that breaks the yoke of spiritual slavery, once held hostage to the spirit of humanism.

The fear of man is lifted from their hearts, no thought is given to personal gain or comfort.

The Fathers heart offends the mind of the religious to expose the heart. His choice, the feeble, broken, and weak hearts.

His foolishness and weakness displayed  in mercy and grace.OnSite

HASTINGS PUDDING – WORM DAY 6-28-10

We are all worms, but we are glow worms, Sir Winston Churchill

In post American Christian Culture, another historic culture shift may take place on Monday, June, 28, 2010.

Before the United Sates Supreme court is Christian Legal Society v. Martinez case. The decision may further exclude Christian thought from Higher Education.

Like someone once said, “We take the Bible away from our children when they enter  school, but give it back to them when they are in prison”. If the court rules against the Christian Legal Society, the landscape of religious freedom could be, and in my view, will be, vastly diminished. Our children s children will suffer the most from [assuming the verdict is against the CLS ] this draconian ruling.

I was late in hearing about this case, so did not pray into this case. I wish I had. I hope some believers  did prayer and intercede. The Lord is faithful to raise up watchmen. So my post is to alert my readers.

According to Lyle Denniston, SCOTUSblog’s

“The Supreme Court will assemble promptly at 10 a.m. on Monday, for the closing public session of the October 2009 Term.   It will also be Justice John Paul Stevens’ last public appearance as a member of the Court, since he specified in April that his retirement would take effect “the next day after the Court rises for the summer recess.”  In a gesture of respect, a number of the lawyers in the courtroom for the session will be wearing bow ties — imitating Stevens’ preference.

The day is likely to produce some blockbusters — both in the orders the Court will issue, and in the final rulings it will hand down.  But not all of the major actions will emerge out of the public session; some may be delayed until later in the day, or, perhaps, even until Tuesday morning.  The Court has not yet announced when the final orders of the Term will emerge.”

GOD’S FOOLISHNESS & WEAKNESS

When I found out God has a  partiality toward foolishness and weakness I was stunned, however, it gave me hope. He was fully God and fully human, a paradox beyond all of my understanding.

When I see the best we humans have, aka the Gulf oil debacle. The barking heads on TV, State and Federal elected officials assigning blame back and forth, and British Petroleum being the bottom of the shoe for all to kick and walk on.

I keep thinking the Church will have a voice and  take notice of this horrific events unfolding in the Gulf, first Katrina, and now the oil spill. All this appears to me as a prophetic shout out of God’s merciful mercy to spill upon our land, and soon. The season and times are ripe. Israel is back on the hot seat, North Korea is about to explode with hunger and unbridled anger. The Dow and S&P has gone bi-polar. Why do the nations roar?

Water speaks to me of life, and oil, healing. From my perspective, our nation is crying.

Jonah was a sign, Jesus spoke mainly in parables, His people are called sheep, and a stop sign is a sign. I could go on and on about the Kingdom of God as I understand it.

A prima facie in Scripture, the bible is a sapient book that gives insights into the human condition. We are lost without Him, plain and simple. And God is about to show His foolish and weak ways in our lives. He is sending water and oil to convince us to agree with Him. This day is at hand.

God delights in weakness. He is about to convince us.

I took this photo in Washington County 5-31-10 using some new color techniques to give style to this prophetic look. What does it say to you?

THE STATE OF A MOLOCH NATION

Toleration is a device used to introduce a new law-system as a prelude to a new intolerance. R.J. Rushdoony

The Doctrine of Karma only enthrones injustice: It leads to the most vicious and callous kind of externalism and impersonalism.  Karma knows no grace. Karma’s essence knows no persons, only actions and consequences. The people of Karma spare their monkeys but destroy one another. The escape from Karma becomes Nirvana, the escape from life. Sadly and ironically that is what I did, my vain attempt to escape from reality. Gods mercy saved me. I am grateful

What I see today. When a people (me) reject God as their King and make a man/woman or state their  king, the consequences are not promising for me or a Nation. According to biblical  scholars, the Moloch State represents the supreme effort of man to command the future, to predestine the world, and to be as God. On a personal level, this was me, saved only by the Grace of God. However, I pay dearly for my self centered and selfish ways.

The word Moloch (or Melech, Melek, Malik), meaning king, is a misvocalization  of the name of a pagan, the consonant of king being retained the vowels of shame used. Human sacrifice was made to this god, self-mutilations, and the sacrifice of children, the supreme form of worship to Moloch. Moloch was an aspect of Baal, Baal meaning lord. The essence of Baal and Moloch was a divine link between heaven and earth. The god-king represents man on a higher scale, man ascended on that scale of being one being or god-being. This power manifested into political order, resulting into the seizure of divine power. The triumph of a man and his people. Therefore, Moloch worship was a political religion.

This review of ancient history is  hauntingly familiar in Western Culture.

With some 50 million legal abortions under our Nations belt, the political religion of our day, in my view,  is the spirit of Moloch and Baal. We are only blinded by the spirit of this age and our (my) self deception.

The Prophets are coming to speak to the Nation

NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD

“The blood of the innocence cries for the end. The innocence lay before the Father crying out. Our Father, who is in heaven, your Name is Holy, your Kingdom come, only your will be done, in this time space world as it is for your innocence ones who are with you, blameless, where your pastures are green and safe. Give them, your blameless ones their daily weeping, as these innocence ones cry out for the ones who murdered them; forgive them Father. They no not what they are doing. For it is your power to heal, bind up the broken hearts of those who had us slaughtered us, we 50 million.

We fear Father they will not yield to your tender heart of mercy. Only you know Father who will hear and see. We see into your time box, like an accordion, pressed and stretched. We see blood dripping from heaven, your heart in the pain of innocence. Oh Father, the little ones cry”

He is in heaven, the Wind of change is here, the earth will groan in childbirth. Days of Darkness will be seen by the faithless. Days of hope and life will be seen by those who are children in heart

WHAT IS THE COLOR OF LOVE – GREEN

According to numerous studies, the Scriptures is entirely demode, in contemporary Western Culture.

I am doing some personal “self examination” of my heart. What I am being shown is how much of my love, or if you will, affection, is rooted in a sort of  “carrot and stick” motivation.  I will do “this”, provided you meet my  expectations. This results in a performance based acceptance of  “others”. Paradoxically, this idea becomes a strong hold, which evolves into a judgment. Now my judgment is a thought pattern or “rut” that filters how I see life and others. For me, this love is money, my color of Love.

What is my solution to this old idea; Truth, Truth is Jesus, and Jesus is Truth. He tells me in the New Testament mammon is a root. So my heart  becomes mammonistic based on a lie that I have told myself.

I grew up a a young boy with this idea somehow planted into my mind. I can blame my thinking on someone else, but confessing the sins of others renders me no freedom. Listen in your heart to these words of love. ” They (I) feast on the abundance of your house; you give them (me) drink from your river of delights.“, Psalm 36:8. The next sentence says, “In your light we (I) see light.”

Clearly, my problem is lack of power, but I do accept this power comes from Jesus to show me the way, the truth and the life.

He is the river of delight. Grant my heart dear Jesus with a repentant heart, a renewed mind and let your light let me see light once again.

HERESY IN THE MARKET PLACE

Sony Pictures’ post-apocalyptic thriller “Legion”. According to press reports, “Legion” had a good launch.  Sony’s low-budget genre label Screen Gems, sold $18.3 million worth of tickets in the U.S. and Canada. According to the LA Times, a good debut for a movie that cost about $25 million to produce.  The thriller drew a mostly male crowd, according to press reports.

On a rainy, cold day, bored and listless, I am. I went to the movies. I like movies. I like the craft of making movies, the story telling, quality of acting, and my alter ego, wishing upon wishing I was an actor of sorts.

I have been known to be an actor in real life, that is, being somebody (or acting) like someone whom I think you will like. The scriptures with lucid accuracy shout me out. It is called the fear of man. For me my fear is extreme self centered fear, and irrational. Well moving on……..

LEGION

I have wondered why Sony has lost so much market share in their electronic business (remember the Sony walkman). For the record I am not anti Sony or anti entertainment.

My viewing experience of Legion was lackluster. I am a fan-boy of Dennis Quaid who stars in this film, so that was a incentive to go see. I like the special effects, the cinematography and I enjoy some post apocalyptic movies.  But this movie…..is visual heresy and  some might say, blasphemy. Let me give you some clues to it blasphemous eschatology and distortion of biblical revealed truths

• GOD HAS GIVEN UP ON MAN
• GOD SENDS HIS (GOOD) ANGELS TO DEMONIZE EARTH PEOPLE
• MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL REBELS AGAINST GOD. (Get this, he is cast as a “good guy” having faith in people and  God is not playing fairly)
• A new “savior” is born.
• GABRIEL THE ANGEL IS CAST AS A MEAN ANGEL AND COMES TO DESTROY MICHAEL.

No where is God (our Father) is portrayed as a father, merciful, loving and kind. So enough of my rants. For the record, I am not the sheriff in God’s Kingdom, nor a movie hater, or even a movie critic. I like movies. What bothered me is this. In our culture, a studio has no compunction or 2nd thought about portraying my Father or your Father as evil.  Not withstanding, it eviscerates the Western Church’s influence in modern American culture.

In closing, I feel some shame in my heart. Truth be told, my own life has been a life of Spiritual compromise. I really love my papa, Holy Spirit and Jesus. Sadly, this “love” is riddled  with my personal preference’s and my heart is void of biblical convictions. Mercy has kept me, plain and simple

EVE OF 2010 – FEEL LIKE PART OF THE HERD?

Matthew 3:17 (NIV)And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

From my experience and observations, American Christians suffer a lot in what the helping professions call (CD) contact disorder. This disorder starts in childhood. From my perception, this disorder spring boards into rejection, abandonment and a worthless state of heart and mind. Following that, demons enter resulting in torment.

My perception is this; a religious spirit, if you will, a religious church culture, pours cement onto the garden of our hearts, covering it. These paved hearts look really good, clean, but flat. No one sees the weight on the heart.

Our Father does and that is our good news for 2010.

Living in the Kingdom Of God, the Father offers us a remedy of our disorders, that is, His disorders.  From a personal perspective, mine (disorders) are plentiful. You see, His orders always bring disorder….pun intended.

One of the marvels of our Father is His ability to have his hand across the heavens, know the precise  number of stars, fish, grains of sand, and and every living creature, and and the same time, show a personal interest in each one of us.  That is Good News to a guy like me. I heard someone say, “I feel like I am  quart low on about everything….including real love”. That is me to a tee and I sure identified with that person who said that.

When our Father’s heart goes from our heads (what I call knowledge) goes to our hearts, the longest 18 inches there is, most of our “stinking thinking” goes away, for good.

Here is what I see our Father doing in 2010 for us, his kids. There will be very real and tangible  shifting in the church; A shift to a culture of  faith-graced based life  from a  performance based faith-grace life. Personality based churches will have  tremendous  turmoil. Our Father is going to step on the cement and crush it. A resurgence, anointing teaching of the “priesthood of the believer will emerge”. So called “seeker sensitive” groups true motives will be exposed and shifted to models of ; the  priesthood culture, that is graced based, and not activity based evangelism.  Old models of the “priesthood of believers”  will begin to shift  from an over emphasis on individualism to corporate community lifestyle. As our Nations economy sinks further, this will help us, not harm us, but will hurt.

1. He will affirm us
2. He will confirm us
3. He will validate us

Remember Jesus stopped the whole herd of sheep for one lost one. That’s Jesus, one on one, that is His style. That is the Kingdom of God. Church culture does not and is unable to do this. Unless……they allow Him to “run the deal”. If you let Jesus “run your deal”. Expect this;  messy, slow, painful, a lot of crying, weeping, broken hearts, cussing, no “fixers allowed”, no “enablers allow”,oh, the mockers will increase. Scandal and offense will be everywhere.

See, its Jesus putting His house of prayer to work, His way. Have we not been clamoring “He is the way, the only way”, not just to the Father, but the way……”. Let us surrender in 2010 and let Him have His way, the best way, the only way…….
