The caption on a certain series of verses in my bible actually says Zion, the sinful city.
Isa 1:21
How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
Isa 1:22
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
Isa 1:23
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
What I want to say I am having a hard time finding the exact words to use to convey exactly and perfectly what I mean. I feel that it has reached a stage in my thought process that I must say it even if it is imperfectly said.
Mammon!
Creflo Dollar is saying that if you don't have money then you are not Godly or if you are not Godly then you don't have money.
Jesus had no material possessions. The Apostles had no money, so it is from a self centered spirit that any Christian professes that mammon is the center of God.
The truth is a man has money for the purposes of God but is not the be all end all indicator of blessings from God. Man needs to give God the credit for the money or lack of it and worship and praise him anyway.
If you say that a man has money and therefore he must be of the Kingdom of Heaven you miss the bulls eye(sin). If you say that a man does not have money therefore he must be of the Kingdom of Heaven then you miss the bulls eye(sin). These are not outward indicators that man may use as a bases to judge whether a man is a member of the Kingdom of Heaven or not.
Jesus said: Mar 12:43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
You say that you cast 10% of your Gross into Gods tray? Jesus says that your still less than the poor old woman who gave all she had. In fact I reiterate; She gave more in the one little mite than everything every rich man ever gave, EVER! No rich man who stayed rich ever gave all in an offering plate.
You want to be blessed and to really discover what Jesus meant by this statement? Do you want to really discover that treasure in that Field?
Mat 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
I found that treasure in that proverbial Field but I didn't buy into that field. I bought it. In 1996 I sold all of my stuff that God told me to and then some and bought that field. Anything less than this is simply a compromise with this world.
Compromising with this world is like this parable: You have 3 glasses one full of clear water and one full of mud and one empty; you want to share some with another person; so you take the clear water and pour part in the 3rd glass and the mud and pour part in the 3rd glass also and give it to the other person.
The question I have to ask is: why did you give this other person a muddy drink?
The answer is: Because you sinned!
One more thing stop asking people (ie. me) to share muddy water with people. If you want to drink muddy water then drink your liquid dirt; go ahead, but don't ask me to. Also don't get pissy with me about sharing clear water as well.
There is no money in Heaven. There is no spirit of money in Heaven. There is no pride nor the spirit of pride in Heaven. Why would you people insist upon hanging on to the compromise beliefs to the great detriment of our nation and the world. The worship of money is the greatest human excuse our nation is criticized and hated for and the the critics are not wrong.
One day a person with money or success may be tested whether or not he is serious or not about serving God when God tells him to give up what he worships or not. The surprise is that most men do not know that he is worshipping the things he will be asked to give up. If he gives them up then he will receive more and be more blessed. If he will not then it will be taken away.
I know of these things because you see, I have been there on both sides of the coin. I speak from the blessing of experience. I can say both that I am an example of what to do and what not to do. I can say because I am supposed to. The fact is I have to say.
If I am obsessed then it is an obsession to be what Jesus wants me to be and that includes no compromise with this world.
The world says but you need money. 'No'- I don't. I need money if I want
G5304
ὑστέρησις
husterēsis
hoos-ter'-ay-sis
From G5302; a falling short, that is, (specifically) penury: - want..
Jesus has the last word in this matter. Get it or don't! Either way don't criticize me nor judge me for not caring if I have or any other man has money nor influence or not. In the end it is most likely that most of the rich will be least in the Kingdom of Heaven and the little old poor widows and Lazarus's will be greatest.
Jesus says:
Mt 6:1
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven
Mt 6:2
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Mt 6:3
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
Mt 6:4
That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Mt 6:5
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Mt 6:6
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Mt 6:7
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Mt 6:8
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Mt 6:9
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Mt 6:10
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Mt 6:11
Give us this day our daily bread.
Mt 6:12
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Mt 6:13
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Mt 6:14
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Mt 6:15
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mt 6:16
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Mt 6:17
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
Mt 6:18
That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
Mt 6:19
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mt 6:20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mt 6:21
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Mt 6:22
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Mt 6:23
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Mt 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Mt 6:25
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Mt 6:26
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Mt 6:27
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Mt 6:28
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
Mt 6:29
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Mt 6:30
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Mt 6:31
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Mt 6:32
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Mt 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Mt 6:34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Got a weather boy named Ben
Says last night on the news that today was going to be" ridiculously perfect".
He is right! You know, that extreme fresh crisp smell of Arctic winter air. That is the only thing that makes me think of the old home town of Superior Wisconsin. 72 degrees, clear as far as the eye can see. Perfect.
February and my doors and windows are wide open. Wow. T-shirt is on. Bare feet. Smiles on my face.
The buzz of talking about God.
Love it. Just love it.
Fantastic day.

Why I should just write and not try to talk to people.

Truth is I don't know what style of monetary control Tanzania has.
The sky is the limit but you have to study the banking system just prior to the great depression to understand why you won't get to much ear on the idea of issuers of there own money thing. Also there was similar banking system to what you are discussing here which caused a very similar hyperinflation problem like Mugumbo's got just before our constitution was currently written. Each bank wrote it's own notes. Each State printed it's own cash. It ended up that the paper the money was printed on was worth more that the denomination noted.
Our currency used to be backed by gold but our economy outstripped the available gold so much that basically the Government cut us loose from it in 1973 I think.
After a shaky period in which the Dumbocrats convinced Jimminy Carter that printing more money than the economy needed caused a burst of inflation and in turn because of his other policies the economy stagnated and hence the coined phrase stagflation.
I don't know if you were paying much attention then AL as you were in your early teens but that was very annoying time at the least. If you kind of look around there is a form of the style of banking you are talking about if I am understanding what you are talking about properly. In fact you have just mentioned it in your analogy using Gold as a form of security. Banks are not going to be stupid and just give up a note with out some kind of assurance that the Gold you say you have isn't in fact real. Never less if you got a different kind of note from some-one ie maybe a little scrap of paper that said IOU on it, would you ever be able to collect on it. An unscrupe-yow-lous individual might just say "I didn't write that". We have enough problems from people with a carpetbagger mentality today with the current form of controls that we have. I say this. The system is as loose as it dares to be. No more no less. We have a stable robust economy and WE need to be satisfied with that.
If people want to try something a little different there is a relatively healthy bartering system going on out there.
The reiterate is; mankind has had thousands of years to to try an figure out how to control money. The greatest longest lasting empires were built upon the integrity of there money systems not upon force of arms, and of course I could list a few examples that come to mind of bad money handling old empires.
But I will leave that up to you. You might start with the more barbaric empires from the North pole going south.
The U.S. is so influential because of the stability of our money. Not because of the industriousness of the work force though that helps. So much so that even our enemies value it. Amazing principle ain't it?
I like to say that I am not God but God is me. Well money is not God either but God is money: he owns it !
Our preacher used this analogy. All of the money is God's. 1oo%. He gives it to us to manage. All he asks is for his followers to do is give him 10%. Not a bad deal. That's 90% return on what we started out with; and we started out with with "nothing". Oh I suppose you could say we pay for it in our bodies, but then again who am I to say that. Even my person, myself is not mine. I am the Holy living God of Heaven's to do with as he pleases. What is it to me if I turn into a living wreck or live to be 120 years old. The credit belongs to God.

A discourse between Al and me.
Scalpels.
It has always pretty much been the same theme for revolutions. Men who covet power try to get the Government to take an overbearing stance then try to get the people stirred up about it, then try to come to the so-called rescue aka Hitler'esk The other prime way to cause a governmental change is frontal assault on borders.
To me the rest just simply dwindles in significance.
The road has 2 ditches.
Being paranoid about one or the other is dwelling in the land of heart attacks. Though paranoia is probably too strong a word yet you are given over to mild understatement.
Yet I must disagree with you in this. God is the very nature of natural laws. To dwell in his love is to truly live. If you do so then no matter what goes on around you you will know that you are on stable ground.
Fact is it is totally possible for men to become so spiritual that they disobey the very laws of nature. Material laws that is. Not that I believe that I can or can't but I have seen some very incredible things in my life that were outside of normalcy.
Of course I have selfishly not documented the things, but how can you document a person who plays the unplayable guitar or someone who can move like a wisp, or the person who was healed. What camera would you use to take those pictures. What receiver and tape recorder would you use to record the things of the spirit.
I have been thinking on another article in which I want consider the difference between God's will and God's desire. The gist of which I have to say that to tell what God's will is look at history, which will differ from his desire. His desire is for men to be in commune with him but his will for this world is Armageddon.
When we say may God's will be done so it will be, when we really mean may God bless you. May he have mercy on this forlorn and damned world.
Enigmatic that I should have any hope in this world when I have read the end of the book. God wins and no mortal flesh nor natural law born in this universe survives. All we know will pass.
If the Hunchback (I wonder if the the Hunchback of Notre Dame wasn't meant to take a swipe at W.W.)William Wilberforce had not of stood for freedom then why should anyone.
I have spent my life practicing the art of persuasion. And by some straight have found great success well beyond my apparent status. I have no explanation for this. Just God. Primarily Love of God and the Gift of having his principle's make my life.
The wiles of evil require a scalpel.

Ron, occasionally I write whole paragraphs while all hell is breaking out upstairs and I need to get up there and take care of it. That's the case with my concluding paragraph in this post (before the updates). I tried to pack every thought I had in there before I had to run off. It's a very poor model of writing that shouldn't be emulated.I like the formulation "the laws of nature and nature's God," but I really shoe-horned it in there this time.I could do it over - and if I did, I'd say something completely different that better fit the context, but I tend to think that that's dishonest blogging. Better to write a whole new post.And I should, but you know how I am about "shoulds."I believe what I said. I believe God created the world a certain way and, though we know quite a lot about it, we don't know everything about that way. One very important law of nature is that politeness works best for getting...Crap!
The lady who doesn't really get that law is calling me.

Politeness?
I spent a lifetime being polite and the world loved me. Now that I serve a risen Savior the world says I am not polite.I didn't really change much, just that.
I don't owe the world polite. Just the truth. The world hates the truth because the world is condemned and therefore hates truth and the spirit of it, that is the truth. That is the "scalple".
I don't care if they think I am impolite because the world does not own me. What I care about is am I telling it what it is supposed to be told by God. Of course then I suppose that sounds like I am saying that I am God which I will not say because I am not.
What I do say is that God owns everything, and I mean in an all encompassing every atom and photon.
That includes every thing that is me. If that is so then I could never be God but in essence and absolute truth God is me. The only thing left to do then is for a human (any human)to admit that God owns them and not the other way around. In fact it is in error when I hear Christians say they have God when the exact opposite is true.
And finally Jesus was not polite to the religious leaders of his day. He called them what they were, the opposites of who they professed to be. He did not call them Sons of God. He called them Sons of the chief of Demons, that worm Satin. Was that polite? The world would say no. I say it was in their best interest. No one else was telling them. He was giving them a chance to re-examine their lives and repent. You could say that for all of the so-called impoliteness that I proffer I am actually showing people that God truly Loves them by telling them the truth, giving them a chance to repent that they may be saved for ever. By popping a flashbulb of truth in their proverbial mental faces.
I am actually holding back compared to Jesus-or am I?
People should not be praying that we should be more like Jesus and all those prayers that I should be more like him.....well they came true. The right prayer is we should be like he said we should-be, "little lambs". Never the less the die is cast.Mans missing the bulls eye otherwise known as sin has almost accumulated to it's fullness and God's terrible judgement and retribution is less than a cosmological hairs width away. Nothing short of 6.5 billion people on earth accepting Jesus, dawning sack cloth, pouring ashes on their head, fasting and sitting morosely in repentance will do. Then maybe God would delay. That is all that Nineveh earned. A 150 year delay.The alternative is well...somewhere between 3 and 5 billion dead by my guess-timates.You can't say I didn't try to warn people.
BTW I haven't seen that guy who stands on the street corner of NY city with the 'Doomsday is coming' sign. Maybe I should go there and take his place since people think I am being a nut about this, and scaring or annoying the crap out of people with this stuff.
You know what? I don't care what the world thinks about me.

Rebounds
Scientists are trying to find out enough information to calculate when the universe will stop expanding and rebound.
It is not going to rebound ever.
It will continue to expand until it passes away.
After waiting for years for the announcement that they have discovered exotic material (dark matter) making the statement that they have not discovered a way to quantify something they cannot detect.
Stuff doesn't exist.
Dickering over the amount of something that would justify their
calculations becomes ludicrous.
The old cliche "time is of the essence" is true. Time is of the essence. If I am correct then E=MC2 would be more correctly written E(time)=M(time)C(time)2(time).
We always factor in time but as an independent but time is always a factor. Always in this universe. What we need to realize is that time is the key ingredient to matter and and force.
What for sure does this universe have that Heaven doesn't have? Time.
Everything in this universe is based on time.
I speculate that the missing matter is not matter but just as enigmatic as gravity or energy. We quantify it, measure it, but what is time?
Everything is base in time. The base dimension of our universe is time our dimension is time; it is the fence for this Garden, our universe. It is the definition of the place where matter as we perceive it is. The format for this universe is time. The canvas for this universe is time.
Unfortunately matter as we perceive it will not retain the form we understand forever in time.
It has finally been revealed that Scientists have found that 'spacetime' is stretching. Let me say it this way also. As the universe continues to to expand time expands with it. Image it. Picture it. The expansion is self balancing. I speculate no end to this.

Rumors
I was watching a show and the man said that 72% of those surveyed said that there is no absolute truth.
2+2=4.......an absolute.
Absolutely unequivocally there is absolute truth everywhere we look.
Everywhere.
I don't know where they took this survey, it must have been in a Budist monastery or something.
You can question everything but in the end what men see is absolute. If a man doesn't see anything absolute then he is probably on medications or fixing to get on medications.
You know the fact is most people are probably trying to say what ever they think the surveyor wants to hear mainly because they don't want the trouble of trying to swim upstream.
I say you should quit trying to swim at all and be a rock in the stream
I learned this a long time ago. Just because a person says they agree with me doesn't mean they do. In other words they lied.
Such is the state of our nation today, in fact the world. Lying is the norm for men not the unusual. What is unusual is a truthful person.
40 years ago old men were telling me that honesty is the best policy. Today people are saying to me what is truth?
Satin has no truth so that is an appropriate question for him and his own people.
Jesus said this about the Chief of devils.
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Where is the Power?
And what is the secret to power?
Power struggles have for one emotional reason or the other pretty much guided world history.
If at any time a person or group of people thought that power resided in money(mammon) or numbers of people or prestige or appearances or influence or,,,,,you can just about name it. Truth is power resides with God. To understand what I am trying to get at you have to know that God is Love and God is light.
The single most powerful book of the bible is the book of 1st John; within which resides the "Love Chapter", and the single most important statement made by Jesus was when he told the disciples to Love God and to Love thy neighbors.
The power is in unconditional Love; the emotions, and the deeds.
If there is a defining of priorities of Love then this is it. After these are all good things given.
First Love the Father then Love your neighbors.
If God Loves all unconditionally then to be a child of God you must Love unconditionally. The more constant you are in Love the more power you have, and have been given with which to Love.
If a man has power or influence then it is born of love not hatred. If I have Power or influence then it is born of Love not hatred. True influence is not born out of appearances hence the reason I do not care for appearances but what a person really is in there heart.
Not what they appear to be, but who they really are.
The reason I get away with telling the truth so much(funny I have to put it that way) is because people can just tell that I tell them the truth not to harm them but to help them. Not for ulterior motives but because I Love them unconditionally. It is the greatest gift next to being unconditionally forgiven by God, that I have. It is the gift next to Loving God which I am most grateful to God for.
My power to tell the truth is out of Love not hate nor spite nor ulterior motives. The real reason I tell anyone anything is not a fear and I am not afraid to tell anyone the truth.
Though I could use the truth as a weapon and have done so it was not to destroy that which was good but to destroy that which is evil. Hence to this world which is so full of deceit and lies people like me become very dangerous. Not because we are physically dangerous but because the works born out of lying are destroyed.
I tell you this also not because I would brag about my want to be truthful but so that you may see that Love is the foundation for truth and it is paramount to success in garnering power. True power.
The power to tell unambiguous truth because of Love is the worlds greatest power.
Always has been and always will be.
Power struggles have for one emotional reason or the other pretty much guided world history.
If at any time a person or group of people thought that power resided in money(mammon) or numbers of people or prestige or appearances or influence or,,,,,you can just about name it. Truth is power resides with God. To understand what I am trying to get at you have to know that God is Love and God is light.
The single most powerful book of the bible is the book of 1st John; within which resides the "Love Chapter", and the single most important statement made by Jesus was when he told the disciples to Love God and to Love thy neighbors.
The power is in unconditional Love; the emotions, and the deeds.
If there is a defining of priorities of Love then this is it. After these are all good things given.
First Love the Father then Love your neighbors.
