  • Understanding God’s Forgiveness and Judgment

    Understanding God’s Forgiveness and Judgment

    God forgives us our sins and wants us to ask for his help in our lives. The forgiveness is unconditional, however salvation is not.


    If you were to act the fool in your parents house and raise hell your parents would most likely still love you.

    However, if after being taught the truth, you still continued raising hell and refused to accept their guidance, they may very well throw you out.


    How much more do you think God loves us, and he too has the right of judgment to decide whether you live in his house.


    So yes you are loved and forgiven by God, however you can not continue to live a sinful life and strut your sin around demanding “Equal Rights” from government and expect to be asked into God’s house.

    Repentance must follow forgiveness, in other words, you must change your sinful ways. No amount of human justification will affect God’s Judgments.

    Parades, signs, shouting, governmental intervention, special rights groups, none of these will change a sinner into a non sinner. Only your own contrite heart and God’s Grace can do that.


    Jesus forgave the prostitute but then said, “Go and sin no more.”

  • Faith in Crisis: Seeking Divine Guidance Amidst Global Turmoil

    Faith in Crisis: Seeking Divine Guidance Amidst Global Turmoil

    1. The US has over 800 bases around the world.
    2. BRICS is steadily gaining strength and making progress.
    3. Russia and China refuse to bend to the will of the US.
    4. Execs and other “in the know” people are creating bug out sites far away from the major countries.
    5. Greece is collapsing before our eyes.
    6. The federal government knows that the US dollar is soon to collapse.

    What does all point to? Many see world war three just around the corner. The US policy of hegemony has alienated Russia and a few other countries.

    The only way humanity can accomplish anything is to ask God for direction. This approach can possibly prevent the destruction of our world as we know it. We must trust in Jesus. Every one of us needs to accept Jesus in our hearts as our savior, and pray vigilantly for his direction and strength.

    Truthfully, There is no human answer to these global destructive patterns that governments are following. The answer is to bring back Gods morals, and God into our hearts and minds, and to listen to his words.

    “But 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 be faint.”

    Isiah 40:31

  • Finding Peace Through Jesus in a Troubled World

    Finding Peace Through Jesus in a Troubled World

    This world is ruled by Satan. Every one of us has been under his rule since the time Adam and Eve chose to disobey God and believe the lies Satan told Eve. Prior to that event, Adam and Eve lived in a perfect world, in harmony with God and his commands for them. They had total freedom and peace. No fear of animals or each other. This state of “God’s Kingdom here on Earth” existed for an unknown period of time. We are not told by God’s word how long this existed prior to the “Fall.”

    Once Satan convinced Eve to commit sin she then shared this with Adam. Adam went along with that sin and the world has been under the rule of Satan ever since.

    This is stated clearly in Genesis 3:

    14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust  all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

    and Matthew 4

    8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” 10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.

    So we see that Satan had total power over the world and was rebuked by Jesus. Jesus would not have said this if Satan was not in command of the world.

    So, why am I sharing this information? Because I am more than sick of hearing all the ridiculous argument about worldly issues. People are consumed with things such as gun control, racism, violence, corruption, homelessness, greed, politics, etc.

    People including “So called Christians” arguing about how democrats are right, or republicans are right, or Obama is so good, or embrace Islam, or we should have totally open borders and accept anyone and everyone without regard to the original laws regarding becoming a citizen, or voter rights given to illegal immigrants…..the list goes on and on.

    ALL of these things are the ways that Satan deceives people and pulls us away from God. The greatest evil is not a gun, or drugs, or violence, it is the insidious belief by people that they are “Good.” People think that stomping their feet and shouting about how evil guns are, that they are good because of that. That somehow this behavior shows what a compassionate soul they are. But this widespread belief that we are good by doing good works is Satan’s most powerful tool.

    The only solution to any of these worldly issues is not man trying to be “Good”, using his ego to feel better about “doing something” to solve these issues, it is rather every one of us letting God teach us what is good, and sharing that with our brothers and sisters. We need to:

    • Accept Jesus as our Lord
    • Admit we are sinners and ask Jesus to take our lives under his control
    • Accept God’s forgiveness
    • And from that point on seek God’s teaching and make an honest attempt to live as he teaches

    The worst thing we can do is be born again and then grow cold later on. We need to accept Jesus as our lord, study his teaching, implement that teaching in our lives, and share this with everyone we have contact with. God’s greatest desire is to have his Kingdom here on earth, and that means right now as well as the eventual everlasting Kingdom

    Matthew 6:

    9 This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done,  on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

    Jesus taught us clearly that we should ask God for his kingdom to come here on earth as it is in Heaven. This means that if we work to fulfill God’s Kingdom here, that all these other issues will be taken care of by God. If we focus on God’s Kingdom, we will be creating that Kingdom here and now, and by default, slowly eliminating the Satanic control that the world has been under since the Fall.

    What this boils down to, is drop the ego, drop the time wasting political correctness, drop the soul killing belief that you are “Good” because of your works, and simply love Jesus, and strive to bring his teaching into your hearts as well as those you have around you. Stop trying to rewrite God’s word like so many “Churches” and denominations are doing and get back to basics, God’s word.

  • A Journey Beyond: My Experience with God and Heaven

    A Journey Beyond: My Experience with God and Heaven


    Preface: I was ill with the flu and had gone to bed weak and tired. The last thing I remember is laying in bed. This occurrence was in 1996 although I don’t remember the exact month or day. Bear in mind, the following occurred many years before I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. And before I was baptized.

    The next thing I knew, I was standing as if on a high mountain. I had a view of the entire earth’s history. What I saw can only be expressed in a very undetailed way. All that I saw and heard, was so much more than we can comprehend as humans. I will try to share what I saw and felt.

    The sky was dark and foreboding as the clouds raced past at high speed, the sound was as a massive storm. The feeling was overbearing and almost like watching a movie in accelerated motion. I felt totally isolated from everything I had ever known. Time passed as centuries in minutes, peoples came into view and went out as quickly. Chariots passed by, wars were fought, mountains grew and diminished with a roar and a rush of winds. Ancient cities grew and then disappeared.

    I stood there, watching as the history of the world from the beginning to the present passed by, the intense emotions, fears, pain, and pleasures all swirling through my being. I was separate from this, as a person watching a movie, and yet I was torn open by the rush of time as it passed through me.

    The ages flew by, showing me the history of the world and bringing a portion of God’s knowledge to my mind. I understood all that had ever existed and all that ever would. It was like a review of the total history of man, and a view into the future all condensed into minutes. But time had no meaning here, this span of time covered the total history of the earth. I stood for what seemed to me as lifetimes. I was watching, listening, growing in awareness and realizing that I was being shown what only God could know.

    After what seemed an eternity, everything slowed and began to lighten up. The swirling dark clouds gave way to a calm white light off in the distance. Gradually this white became a light so pure there is no description for it. It was not a light from a source, but a place, a total surrounding of pure love and peace.

    I found myself standing in the midst of angels, hundreds of thousands of spirits that were all very pure and at peace. They were speaking with me, (not verbally but as if we could read minds) explaining what I had just seen. The vision I had been given was God’s knowledge regarding man. The pure, clear truth as it exists. They spoke of how living, as man was a gift that was designed to be a learning experience. A preparation for what was offered to us if we believe in Jesus.

    I realized that this place was heaven. It was the spiritual home, the place we will go when the rapture happens, and in fact, not a place as we think of it, but the actual presence of God. I realized that God is everything, beyond time, before everything, and infinite.

    I spent what seemed like another eternity there, speaking with the angels, learning the truth of who we are and what our purpose is. After many long conversations, the angels told me that I must return. It was not time for me to remain here. I had things to do on earth, and that these things were to be revealed at the appropriate times.

    My wife at the time was frantic and in tears as I opened my eyes and began to realize where I was. I was lying in bed, the sheets and mattress were soaked in sweat, and I was cold and stiff. Slowly I gained awareness of my surroundings.

    My wife told me she had come upstairs to check on me. She found me there in bed soaked in sweat, not breathing and my body was cold and pale. She thought she had lost me. As near as I can recollect, I estimate the earthly time I was away as 30-90 minutes. I shared this with my wife, but I did not speak of this for years for fear I would be thought “crazy”.

    In 2014 I accepted Jesus as my Lord, and was baptized in the ocean off the California coast near Santa Cruz.

    I know that I will spend the rest of my life reflecting on this truth, seeking to live the life that I have been given. I am not sure really what that entails, or how I will go about it, but I know that it will always be a part of me, and something I must do. I feel that God wishes me to share this truth with the world and somehow show humanity that this life is nothing but a speck in God’s scheme of things.

    My prayer is that my story can bring more people to God. That through what God showed me, I can open the hearts and minds of many to Jesus. God is real, Jesus is real, Heaven is real, and we all have the opportunity to share in this glorious eternity.
