​FIVE NOTES TO HARMONY
 
            God is a creator. We are his creation. We are made and placed within another creation called Earth. Our bodies are created from the dust and the essence of Earth. Our spirit was breath into our bodies and established to life.
            “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being” – Genesis 2:7
This life was meant to live forever and be converted to live in another creation called Heaven. Our spirit lives for eternity in Heaven realms. God has authority over all His creation. God gave man authority over the creation of Earth. (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Genesis 1:26 & 27) The government coming from God is based on covenants that He made with humanity Understanding these covenants and the nature on how they became established gives insight to how God’s authority governs His creation.
            There are five covenants made by God towards humanity. The first covenant made between God and Adam. This relationship happened during the fall of mankind. There was now a curse placed upon the creation of Earth. It was said by God that all life on Earth will die and men will “toil the soil” or work hard labor for their food and habitat and women desire would be for her husband who will rule over her, and she will have severe pain during childbearing. Covenant number two came through Noah. After his household was saved alone from the destruction of humanity on Earth by the great flood. God establish an eternal promise with humans to not destroy them through the power of water. He left this mark through a rainbow. The covenant is one sided. It is arbitrary on His love for Earth and humanity to not destroy humans again by water for their wickedness. Humans do not need to do anything for this promise to remain the same.
            The third covenant came through Abraham. It was said to Abraham by God that He will make him father over many nations and set his seed to breed offspring as many as the grains of sand on the beaches and stars in the skies. God formed the nation of Israel through the seed of Abraham. This covenant is based upon a relationship that Abraham was obedient to God’s Word. This pleased God. It is because of Abraham faith and obedient to God that this third covenant was established.
            The fourth covenant from God establish authority with politics and government among humans. This promise came through King David. God promised King David that he will build a kingdom under his root, household and his offsprings. This nation will be a kingdom that would never die. This fourth promise bleeds into God’s fifth covenant and establishes His authority over humans in today’s present era. This fifth covenant came through Jesus. It is through Jesus seed that eternal life for humanity was re-established. The blood of Jesus reflected a change of administration for God to humans and changed the course of His authority from the beginning of His creation to the present day (otherwise known as B.C. & A,D,) Through the ministry, testimony and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The Kingdom of Heaven has dominated through marriage to the original kingdom of Earth. Through this the salvation established based on having a relationship with Jesus Christ whereby we can now have eternal life instead of death which was incorporated through the original covenant with Adam. This completes a full cycle of administration from our Lord.

​PEACE INTERNALLY TRANSPARENT

 
            Does justice in this generation reflect peace? What kind of peace does Jesus have? Jesus brings inner peace. Conflict between brothers will rest upon the grave of men who find no reconciliation. When we consider the moral of no war, no crime, no violence, no argument, no discrimination of race, gender or social status; when we consider the lovey-dovey friendship of harmony and peace among humans, we are not reflecting the peace Jesus proclaims.
            “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn, ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law- a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’”                                                                                      Mathew 10:34-36
How did Jesus dress His soldiers?
            “Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts- no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep. Whatever town or village you enter search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave. As you enter the home, give it your greeting. If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgement than for that town.”               Mathew 10:9-15
Read these scriptures and reflect. Is Jesus talking about a land with no war?
            Jesus is reflecting a kingdom of a higher calling. He is not resting His name upon the physical reality of this world. He does not answer to the physical limitation of death itself. Read these scriptures and reflect upon Jesus’ word.
            “All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advoate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace, I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heats be troubled and do not be afraid.”                                John 14:25-27
Jesus long for an eternal relationship reflecting not separation by sin, lacking conflict within authority, leaving no room for betrayal. Jesus is not condemning this world with judgement. His words rest upon the everlasting domination of His kingdom reflecting eternal harmony between the Holy Spirit and humanity.
Reflect on these scriptures to understand how God feels about our species:
            “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gather her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”         Mathew 23”37-39
How does Jesus expect His soldiers to dress as civilians among the culture of this world which does not reflect His home?.
            “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”       
                                                                                                                        Colossians 3:12-14
God desire inner peace, spirit to spirit between Himself and his creation. We may not witness this reality physically with a naked eye. The same way that we don’t see light waves of energy of all the light spectrum. We only able to witness 10% of all that is really there. Humans may not have the ability to grasp the depth of God’s eternal, peaceful. light that exist between Heaven and Earth. Nevertheless, Jesus’ kingdom reflects this reality and reigns forever as Heaven’s Kingdom dominate here on Earth.

​PRESENT… AND YET TO COME
 
            While Jesus walked the Earth over 2000 yrs ago, He declared His kingdom of Heaven to be near and still to come. His cousin John the Baptist had a ministry to prepare the way for Jesus to declare the Kingdom of Heaven is near:
“as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: ‘I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way’- ‘a voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sin”                                                                   - Mark 1:2-4
“After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. ‘The time has come,’ he said, ‘The kingdom of God has come near, Repent, and believe the good news!”                                                                                                             - Mark 1:14 & 15
Where is Jesus’ Kingdom? When did it appear here on Earth? Where does it reside today? The Kingdom is inside of His followers and believers.
“Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, ‘The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is’, or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.’ Then he said to his disciples, ‘The time is coming when you will long to see one of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. People will tell you,” There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them. For the Son of Man is his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. It was the same in the days of Lot, People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed then all. It will be just like this on the day the Som on Man is revealed. On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything, Remember Lot’s wife. Whoever tries to keep their life will preserve it. I tell you on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.’ Where, Lord? they asked. He replied, ‘Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.’
We look into prophesy and spiritual enlighten for an answer as simple as daylight and revealed as reflections from the water. We are forever evolving into the likeness of Christ. Our bodies are in the presence decaying as our spirit is in the presence accelerating. Our spirits are growing daily to connect and unite with the Saints who have already past and met Jesus in the air. The first will be last and the last will be first.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: “The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, ‘Who then can be saved?’ Jesus looked at them and said. ‘With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.’ Then Peter spoke up. ‘We have left everything to follow you!” ‘Truly I tell you’, Jesus replied, ‘no one who has left home or brothers or sister or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age; home, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields- along with persecutions- and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first”
                                                                                                                        -Mark 10: 26-31
We are becoming forever new as tomorrow changes faster than the day itself can pass.
“In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.”                                                           -Daniel 2:44
“But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever – yes, for ever and ever”                                                                            - Daniel 7:18
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness”                           -Lamentations 3:22 & 23
The Kingdom of Heaven will prevail, and the Will of Jesus will reign as King. Judgment will not condemn the Saints of this Earth. In the last days all will be revealed and replanted to establish more harvest within good soil. This is Good News to proclaim justice for our children here today living in the generation of Revelation… let’s spread the seeds of hope across the Earth.

​JESUS IS ENOUGH
 
Being content in life is a virtue. Becoming a content with a relationship with Jesus Christ is a sheer treasure. God does not promise to give us everything we want, but His Word does say that He will provide all our needs, plus gives us the desire of our heart.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Psalms 23:1) “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.”
If we intentionally focus our minds to understand and agree with God’s will, we can see that if we don’t have something in life it is because of a morality that we don’t need it. And for our hearts to become joyful about such a relationship is key to obtaining a deep admiration in this world. Thus, our heart is focus on agreeing with God’s will and being content with the morality of having a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Reflect on this story in the Bible- Luke 10:38-42- “As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened here home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said, But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!’
‘Martha, Martha,’ the Lord answered, 'you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed- or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.’”
We see that Mary was happy sitting at the feet of Jesus and listening to Him talk. Martha was not doing something wrong, but she found herself wanting something she felt that she did not have. It turned out that she did not need what she wanted. Her attitude was negative, and Mary’s attitude was blessed, guarded and positive. This illustration reflects all reality of the human heart and our desire to be happy. Happiness is a discipline art based on the skills of crafting our belief system to embrace Jesus’ will within our lives. This concept creates a solid, system of belief, core, spirit and will. This is a force of gravity for our souls and salvation.

FATHER’S LOVE 
 
I remember when my Dad would laugh. He was a huge man of 6 ft and 1 inch with broad shoulders. His father (my grandfather) was a boxer. My Dad was a very smart man who commanded respect. There was a mentality of security while residing within his household as if everything will be resolved. There were no worries of any sudden shift of morality. There was a comfort of faithful, loyalty when I reflected on carrying my Dad’s name. His present was good, yet stern. I never question why I fear my Dad. I always knew his relationship was coming from a good place. He loved me. 
It’s hard seeing our Heavenly Father as a God who can laugh. When we consider the moral of facing God it based on an absolute understanding that He is all-powerful. Having a loving father respect for God reflecting fear and endurance is a hard concept to balance. God is a sovereign Lord, yet, He is compassionate, gentle and a loving Father. He is not a tyrant leader of dictatorship as a controlling God. His love and respect come from a moral of honor and admiration. Our love for His kingdom keeps us faithful to remain His children. 
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wing, and you were not willing. Look, you house is left to you desolate. I tell you, will not see me again until you say. ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord’ 
Luke 13: 34 & 35 
Remember the house you were raised. Remember the relationships you had as a child with your parents, sibling and kinship. This concept is supposed to reflect something good. Nevertheless, our loyalty to our Heavenly Father keeps us as a soldier in war for His kingdom. The balance of family within a home and blood shed for the sake of the King puts Jesus in control. He is a loving King who brings us joy and a foundation for us to always grow upon. Our King is a Lord who reveals Himself as a father who loves His children. ​

DAYLIGHT 
 
And God said, “Let there be light!” And there was light, and it was good. Then the light shined into the darkness (the world) and the darkness was not able to comprehend it. What was the confusion found in darkness? The morality that God shined the light and life and as a being of love; His will cut through the surface of reality as lightning does through the wind. Consider these words within the scriptures: 
“The human spirit is the lamp of the Lord that sheds light on one’s inmost being.” 
 Proverbs 20:27 
This scripture is followed by this thought: “Love and faithfulness keep a king safe; through love his throne is made secure” - Proverbs 20:28 
God secured the foundation of king’s kingdom through His love, grace & righteousness. What is it to have light outshine the confusion in the air? It illumes the space within the environment whereby everything is different; all is new again. When you fall in love, somewhat as when you find admiration for a new pet... You fall in love with him all at first sight and even though you never saw this creature or had room in your life before that given moment to care for him you cannot think of reality without him in your life from that moment... that’s daylight. It opens and exposes all hidden meaning of the matter. What is it to turn the light on in a dark room? What becomes visible that used to block your path? It is cool to give guidance to a blind person to walk through a furnish room. It something more to give a blind man sight and watch him learn to adopted to life now that he can see. This is what it is like to expose spiritual light to an otherwise dark moral. 
“No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.” 
Luke 8:16 & 17 
Consider the reality that we don’t physically see all the physical energy of light that we are aware of scientifically here on Earth. The mystery of the Lord’s Word grows deep within; our insights are full of light, or it should expose, plus reflect light 
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION) "The eye is the lamp of the body, if your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!”               - Mathew 6: 22 & 23 
When one considers the darkness of the world which does not comprehend the beauty and power of the living light of Jesus Christ, we can understand why so many are lost. They’re groping through a pathway with no guidance. Drowning in a lifestyle of non-spiritual parental direction- towards a fate of deep, condemnation of judgment. This is the truth within the fibers of humanity. God has established salvation within the truth of these conditions. ​

FROM THE CROSS TO THE FLAG 
 
When this country, America, was founded it was built and based on the freedom of worship. The idea of a human honoring his or her religion as they please gave great glory to the true God. The word “pilgrim’ has a dictionary definition of “one who travels to a shrine or holy place in devotion”. God was very pleased to see humans fight, battle and die simply for the fact of honoring Him. This is the framework of what made this country great. Freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of economy, the idea of choice of one’s own lifestyle (within the skeleton structure of slavery of the African American). The idea of the First Amendment actually comes from a good place. 
There are two concepts which need to be noteworthy when looking at this deeply into humanity. One, slavery was (and still is) wicked along with sex trafficking, molestation and childhood labor. However, the core of humans is both good & evil. It is for this reason that we need a savior to save us. God's plan of salvation for humanity comes with a high price of innocent blood, death and human sacrifice. Two, nothing is impossible with God. Even though wickedness exist, God still can bring good fruit from a basin foundation. God’s purpose in life and His creation is for His own glory. If God found purpose in humans fighting a mother country to establish freedom to honor Him; He will bless such a meaning. This truth is core to the fiber of humanity. Why is there justice within the pathway of salvation? Because God found purpose in spite of darkness to bring Him glory. He was able to bring a harvest out of the land of weed, dryness and desolate. 
When our eyes are able to rise above the shadows that blocks the beauty of humanity, we are able to see pass the presence pain of this Earth. All our dismay is physically based on a root of a falling creation. Deeper than that, reality is light, glory and the fiber being of eternity within the creation of Heaven itself. There was good before there was an awareness of evil. So, if the moral in the foundation of this nation came from a good seed, where or when or how did we as a civilization grow astray? Somewhere along the journey (with the blind wickedness of slavery) American citizens looked somewhere else for their religion. They (as done before in history) seek other avenues to find their God. 
“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ” - Colossians 2:8 
The truth is Americans started to build their faith in hallow places. Our right and freedom to worship deteriorates too selfish, greedy, prideful, egotistical, hard hearts to execute the wickedness within our nature. We stop seeking freedom from sin. We as a culture strayed to desire evil found in power... worldliness human power; military, economics, private scientific knowledge, this we craved. Freedom of speech, to pray, to teach, to preach, and to lead our children this we strayed away from. We did this to the moral of killing those who did proclaim such a righteous path (John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and other martyr, plus casualty in the spiritual battlefield). 
Our spiritual rock has become a hallow cloud that provided no nurturing of spiritual water. We became empty of spiritual truth towards a solid foundation of beliefs to continue to grow... our branches of knowledge weigh too heavenly towards the gravity of the philosophy of this world. Our vision became cloudy not able to see clearly the pathway of salvation. Jesus’ light dimmed; not in nature, but in reality. We were no longer guiding our lives around the morality of love. Well,,, not at least the “love thy neighbor as thyself” or not the desire to love our true God with all our being (mind, body, heart & soul) God is love. We cannot find Him if we seek Him on a pathway absent of love. ​

The chosen few 
 
hristianity has a distinction which set us apart from other cultures in the world. From day one God has called His people to be set apart and be “holy”. God graciously lavished His love upon all of humanity intentionally. He exalts His name through the dread of cultures whom He calls His people. We are not called to be better than everyone else; we are called to be holy as He is holy, pure by spirit, meek by heart, carrying as nature of servanthood, following a decree of truth which establish justice and honor towards our King Jehovah. 
Read what the scripture says about God’s people: 
“I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground.” – Leviticus 11:44 
“Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God.” – Leviticus 20:7 
“Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns. This annual atonement must be made with the blood of the atoning sin offering, for the generations to come. It is most holy to the Lord.” – Exodus 30:10 
“You must therefore make a distinction between clean and unclean animals and between clean and unclean birds. Do not defile yourselves by any animal or bird or anything that I have set apart as unclean for you. You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.” – Leviticus 20:25 & 26 
“Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, where they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes . Rather it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands like Sarah who obey Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.” – I Peter 3:1-6 
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another”                                                                  - John 13:34 & 35 
“To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure, In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. They claim to know God, but by their detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good” – Titus 1:15 & 16 
God through His son has established a specific example of what His love looks like in this world. God is love. (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: I John 5:16) His love is a force of nature. The force which consumes our very being of existence for all eyes to see and witness who His true name represents and what it reflects in life. We are known within His creation because He chose to be known through us… those who are called to be His people and exalted to be holy. This is a honorable calling and should be endured with sincerity and respect. Do we see ourselves to be worthy of such a calling? Do we desire the name, the creed, the true nature of Christianity.  ​

​MY REALITY MAGNIFIES MY FATE

 
“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.’ They are corrupt. Their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.’ – Psalm 14:1
This statement is a biblical scripture. It not just an opinion… in my opinion. One who choose not to follow their life based on biblical scripture may not agree to themselves that they are foolish for not believing that God exist.
“Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels” – II Timothy 2:23
Every person needs a solid ground to build a foundation or their morals of right and wrong. Our emotions need to be guided by a source of reasoning. One could put their hand on a hot stove, feel pain, then reason that its not right for them to do that again. Thus; “It’s wrong to put your hand on a hot stove.” What we use to adjust our mental eyes to see what is true in this world needs to be justified by a solid reality. A compass is a very useful tool to guide one for direction on Earth. This form of guidance accompanied by a map can lead one anywhere on Earth then bring them home. Nevertheless, every compass needs to be magnetized to point north. If the compass is not magnetized to point north, it is useless. Likewise, if someone uses an accurate source and it does not justify their moral to see right and wrong they will never establish a view of justice within their lives.
            A moral issue is a subject that is judged by one’s opinion of right and wrong. The matter that is important here is that a moral issue in life is not necessarily a legal issue. One may live a certain lifestyle that is morally wrong yet be justified by the laws of the land. When we seek out the path to establish justice within humanity, we need to take into account who is judging the species of humans. I am not the judge. You are not the judge. Nevertheless, there is a judge.
(SPRITUAL REFLECTION: “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil”
 – Ecclesiastes 12: 13 & 14
Likewise, this statement is a biblical scripture. You may choose not to believe this statement is true because you choose to not to follow your lifestyle based on the Bible. Nevertheless, there is a moral of truth which all must live by. This moral of truth needs to be measured and based around a level of reasoning that is realistic. What is realistic to one may not be for someone else. Reality is not a matter of opinion. Salvation is not one’s personal verdict.

​FORGIVENESS REACHES AND GIVES REST

            Not all Pharisees who died while Jesus walked this Earth went to hell after His resurrection. When Jesus was here, He reached His hands out and touched all classes of people. He gave salvation freely to the prostitutes, Gentiles, tax collectors, Jews, homeless, rich, poor, widows, the lost, the crippled, the lame, warriors, plus ordinary people. Nicodemus is a good example of whom name reflected a good man regardless of his classification in society during Jesus’ days. He witnessed the teaching and miracles of Jesus whereby he did not become a disciple of Jesus while he walked on Earth, Nicodemus remain faithful to the name until he witnessed Jesus’ burial. Read the testimony of his name as it reads in the scriptures:
John 3:1-9: “Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said. ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.’ Jesus replied, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.’ ‘How can someone be born when they are old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!’ Jesus answered, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Sprit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying. You must be born again. The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.’ ‘How can this be? Nicodemus asked.”
John 7:45-52:  “Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, ‘Why didn’t you bring him in?’ No one ever spoke the way this man does.’ The guards replied. ‘You mean he has deceived you also? The Pharisees retorted. Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?’ No! But this mob that knows nothing of the Law- there is a curse on them’ Nicodemus who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked ‘Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?’ They replied, Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”
John 19:38-42 “Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission he came and took the body away. he was accompanied by Nicodemus the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, in the spices, in strips of linen This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.”
Yes, Nicodemus was confused by the political satire and legal system of his generation, yet his lifestyle represented one of a honest man who desired the will of the Lord. Look at Jesus’ nature. Do you feel He held a vengeful strike against the effort of Nicodemus made as He endured the cross. Jesus knew whom He represented towards humanity. Nicodemus did not understand the transition of testaments. The Kingdom of Heaven has room for testimonies such as his. 

​THE DESPERSION HARVEST

            I’ve been baptized. I’ve been emerged in water and been a part of the same congregation for over 25 years. I’ve studied the theology and understood the philosophy of several Christian denominations. I’ve studied Lutheran, Baptism, Pentecostal, Methodist, Seven Day Adventist, Jehovah Witness as well as Catholic. I’ve even learned doctrines of Christian cults, plus, studied the Bible of Mormons. Presently, I’m around the age of 60 years, through my research and life’s experience; I’ve gained a deep understanding based around biblical philosophy and genre. Today I am a Christian who belongs to a non-denominate church called The Orlando Church (the church of the living water) and live with my wife. We have a son and live in Orlando, Floridia, U.S.A. My wife and I will celebrate 20 years of marriage this November 2025. I say this not to prove that I am an expert of any theology of faith but illustrate a point. In all my years of learning, I have found no better example of what it is meant to reflect the church movement in the Book of Acts as I do when I witness the victory and recovery stories of members of a 12Step Program.
            The image of A.A., N.A., O.A. or any other 12step program is the best appearance of what it means to be a Christian as represented in the Book of Acts in today’s generation. The people there have surrendered their pride, turn their lives around as in a form of repentance, Although, all 12step programs are spiritually based but not a religious sect, whereby no one is baptized, people have deeply repented from their sinful nature, The moral of recovery from their addiction testifies evidence of the will of a Higher Power working within their lives. And every person has found abstinence from their addiction knows that their recovery is not of their own works.
            “You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that- and shudder. You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Issac on the alter? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, ‘Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.’ And he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.”                James 2:19-24
The power of the Holy Spirit has entered the members of these 12Steps Programs rather the members acknowledge His name or not. Their faith which has been architect through Step Two is power of good Christian’s faith.
            “We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity’
                                                                        -Step Two in p.17 N.A. “It Works How and Why”
            “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning it shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God”
                                                                                                                                    Hebrew 12:2
Who is to claim what God can or cannot do?  He shows mercy to, who He shows mercy and who He rain suffering upon whom He rain suffering. God does what He does and operates in the manner He has chosen. His own method of authority shows freedom to the power of His name. He is God. And there is no other name as His here on Earth or in Heaven.
            “What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all For he say in Moses, ‘I will have mercy on whom I have mercy and I will have compassion in whom I have compassion’ It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. For Scripture says to Pharaoh: ‘I raised you for this purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden”                                                          Roman 9:14-18

​THE GUILT OF SIN

Do you feel guilty when you sin? Are you aware that your actions, behavior, beliefs, thoughts, attitude at a present moment is wrong and sinful? Not everybody is aware of their sins. Nevertheless, this does not stop the natural human process of feeling guilty as well as the process and course of the sin with its consequences. The morality of guilt is a human conscience function revealing the healthy nature of a human being. Guilt is like the pain one feels when putting their hand on a hot stove. Rather one knew before or did not know before that it’s not good to put your hand on a hot stove, when they actually do it they feel pain and respond by removing their hand and (hopefully) learn a lesson to not put their hand there again. This completes the moral process.
(READ) John 9:35-41 “Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said. ‘Do you believe in the Son of Man?’ Jesus said, ‘You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.’ Then the man said, ‘Lord, I believe,’ and he worshiped him. Jesus said, ‘For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.’ Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, ‘What? Are we blind too?’ Jesus said, ‘If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim, you can see, your guilt remains.”
Jesus refers to the acknowledgement of guilt when it comes to sin as a form of spiritual vision or spiritual blindness. He takes notice and gives an explanation of how healthy one is based on one’s awareness of their guilt. Then He does something only the Son of God can do; He removes the sin through forgiveness.
            (READ) Like 5:21-26 “The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, ‘Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sin but God alone?’ Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven, or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins’  So he said to the paralyzed man, ‘I tell you, get up take you mat and go home.’ Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. Everyone was amazed and gave praised ton God. They were filled with awe and said. ‘We have seen remarkable things today.’”
When someone has established a valid relationship with Jesus Christ they no longer burden by the guilt of sin because its forgiven. This mental psychological process is nothing short of a miracle equal to a woman becoming a mother and giving birth. However, there is a deeper matter to observe on this subject. As a Christian is one supposed to continue to feel guilty when they have established a relationship with Jesus Christ to have their guilt removed
            (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION) Psalms 32:1 & 2 “Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.”
The answer to this question depends on how spiritual healthy the Christian is. The healing process of repentance to establish removal of sin whereby one guilt does not remain in their conscious is based around their relationship with Jesus Christ. The stronger and deeper the bond the healthier and better the spiritual process. This concept is the entire ideology of Christianity theology and virtues of this religion. It is because of this deep, psychological process that Jesus Christ had to be physically put to death on a cross. Take a moment to pause… breathe and take in the reality of this statement within your aura.

​WHERE IS THE YEAR OF JUBILEE

            Most people would feel that we’re in an economic crisis within our culture today. I laugh at such an accusation. Why give a life raft to someone who denies their drowning. The fact is we, as a society, seek for answers however are not wise enough to apply simple instructions. Over 5,000 years ago the Good Lord set rules, decrees and mathematical strategies to influence and maintain our economy. Yet, we as a species refuse to listen. God established the Year of Jubilee for our benefit.
            (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION) Leviticus 25:8-18- “Count off seven sabbath years- seven times seven years- so that the seven sabbath year amount to a period of forty-nine years. Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land. Consecrate the fiftieth year proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan. The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines. For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields. In this Year of Jubilee everyone is to return to their own property. If you sell land to any of your own people or buy land from them, do not take of each other. You are to buy from your own people on the basis of the number of years since the jubilee. And they are to sell to sell to you on the basis of the number of years left for harvests crops. When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few you are to decrease the price because what is really being sold to you is the number of crops. Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the Lord your God. ‘Follow my decrees and be careful to obey my laws, and you will live safely in the land. Then the land will yield its fruit, and you will eat you will fill and live in safety.”
These decrees plus many others have been lay down and not followed for hundreds of generations. They mainly have not been followed because the financially rich humans’ mentality was too stubborn, greedy and selfish to let go of their power to forgive their debtors. Their hearts were cold as stone.
            There is a recycle process throughout nature. The waters gather through gravity creating clouds, purifying the air, coming down as rain and nurturing and replenish the Earth for seeds to grow, plants to flourish and fruits and harvest to come. We were meant to be the creation within God’s creation to work the land. (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Genesis 3:23) We hear financial advisors give instructions at seminars and workshops. We hear words such as “Be disciplined.” “Stay strong”.” Never give up.” We are taught how to work then lead to believe we must work harder to be successful. We learn to work but then we complain saying we don’t even know how to rest and when we try to rest, we feel guilty for wasting time. We are reinvented to become self-made soldiers of labor & servitude for a human-made economic system. Human are designed to live through cycles of life. There is proper season and proper environment for every stage of humanity.
            (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION) Ecclesiastes 3:2-8- “a time to be born and  time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to men, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.”
An individual person should have proper nutrition, sleep, meditation and balance between faith and spirit. However, proper rest and nutrition is considered a luxury upon humanity. We don’t live in a generation whereby the reality of food, shelter and rest is a human right for all citizens. We see homelessness, poor & poverty. Then we develop a middle-class. We see this because of the rich mentality continues to salvage their luxury of freedom of travail. Why cry a plea for serenity when the culture does not surrender the largess of its harvest. We look for answers to a matrix which is so simply dissolved within humans’ nature.

​BAWLING TO A DEAF EAR

            Somehow the whole thrill in communicating with God is simply just that; talking with the creator of the universe. This is epic. The idea of the fact that the will and force which formed the stars, created the sun, designed waterfalls, mountains & canyons, developed wildlife, architects the seasons, clouds and tornados, lightning, plus thunder talks to our being- mono-to-mono (one-on-one). The belief that God audibly communicate to us within our own language is subnormal. In fact, it can be considered a form of a mental illness. However, God does speak to His creation. He communicates with the animals, the doves, the fawns, the kittens, and the swans. He hosts the sensory of Mother Nature. God answers prayers. God hears our words; knows our thoughts, is aware of our feelings of joy, happiness, gratitude as well as our pain, suffering, anxiety, worries, doubts and tears.
            “God whispers to us in our pleasures, but He shouts to us in our pain.”
                                                                                                                        C. S. Lewis
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION) I Kings 19:11-13-“The Lord said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.’ Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’”
            The prophets recognized the voice of God when He spoke to them. It was this awareness which made their relationship with humanity so unique.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION) John 10:14-16 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. The wolf attacks the flock and shatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me- just as the Father knows me and I know the Father- and I lay down my life foe the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.”
Jesus who reflects and reveals the image of God hears His disciples’ words in prayer and those who are His sheep recognize his voice as a shepherd. The moral of hearing God and God listening to us is the entire ego system of the communication waves of the universe. Why pray to a God who is not there to listening? Why try to worship a being who does not care is you are servitude to His existence? 

​THE BEGINNING AND THE END

 
(READ) “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid”- John 14:27
            Jesus is the balance of truth & peace. When what you understand to be true in your mind agrees with what you feel or know is true in your heart, it produces inner peace. Real peace is not man-made, or man driven. We, as humans, cannot obtain it without submission to the Spirit’s authority. The Spirit we need to submit to is the Universal Spirit which is the harmony and balance of the order of the movement and course of the stars; Mother Nature nurturing spirit of the wildlife, animals & trees, the ecosystem of water, air, and earth, the Sprit which predestine human life, birth, death and health of humanity: thus, Chi. This spirit was known with a common awareness in the beginning of creation.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION) “Then God said, ‘I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be your food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground- everything that move along the ground- everything that has breath of life in it- I give everything green plant for food.’ And it was so. And God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning- the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had doing so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.”
                                                                                                Genisis Chaper 1:29- Chapter 2:3
The harmony of peace is planned to be established at end of humanity through final judgement.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION) “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear a crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of this sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.”
“The Sprit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come!’ Let throne who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the tree gift of the water of life.”
                                                                                                Revelations 2:1-5 & 17
As hard as it is to imagine the reality of goodness and peace set forth through all cultures within the land one must focus their faith to believe it for it is ordain in God’s Word. Such a day is not possible through governments, military, politics, and/or economics. It is not something measured or handled by the hands of humans. However, the universal system of Heaven will set forth the day, decree, and statues for humans to live. This submission to this authority will establish such habitation.
“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.             - James 3:17 & 18     
Can your faith be ensconced in the mind of God to witness Him fulfill His Word?
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION) “First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all goodness and dignity. This good, and it pleases God, our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and man, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself- a ransom for all, a testimony at the proper time”
                                                                                                                        -I Timothy 2:1-6

​THE FIRE OF CONDEMNATION

 
            Anger is a force in human nature. It can be used to productively change morals and establish justice. It is also a characteristic in God. However, anger can also be misguided and cause great chaos, destruction and confusion. Much as the chemical difference of H20 and H3O there is a lite shift of reasoning when responding in improper anger.
            The wise approach for anyone who finds themselves in an emotional rage is to pause.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: “Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end”
                                                                                                                        Proverbs 29:11”)
            God is patience with His anger. This is easily witnessed by the grace we see within humanity. We all know that by nature our species is both good & evil. We see the wicked get blessed, forgiven and saved on the regular basis. We also notice that the innocent is harmed and are victims. This causes us to hate injustice. What do we do when someone sin upon us and we have done no harm or nothing wrong to be victimized? Jesus experiences this reality while he was upon this Earth. He is our intercessor for the atonement of sin for all humanity. When we pray to Jesus we should pray, “Lord help us to see you in the brokenness of this world.” Our brokenness transforms to God’s fingerprint of work in our lives.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: “Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me. ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest upon me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults. In hardship, in persecutions in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. - II Corinthians 12 8-10
The Great Apostle Paul who considered himself the least of all the apostles boldly approaches the matter of injustice. In his suffering, pain, and frustration he experiences gratitude through the grace of God. Godly sorrow produces repentance (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: II Corinthians 7:10) This is what we should seek when we search for answers to our inner problems. The world says, “change your behavior”, Jesus says, “change your heart”. This solution can only be done by the Hands of Christ himself. Let him work within your inner being to prove good spiritual fruit within your life.

​Guilt remains; blindness is rooted

 
            The Catholic denomination is famous for their congregation to confess their sins to the priest. We see in doctrine that the moral of confessing sin is important in the walk of Christian faith (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Romans 10: 9&10- “If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”. Nevertheless, we see within society that not all Christians are Catholic. How can this important aspect of Christian doctrine be done on the regular bases for those who don’t go to a denomination church whereby there is a priest to confess one’s sins too?
            “On the fourteenth day of the first month, the exiles celebrated the Passover. The priests and Levites had purified themselves and were all ceremonially clean. The Levites slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the exiles, for their relatives the priest and for themselves. So the Israelites who had returned from the exile ate it, together with all who had separated themselves from the unclean practices of their Gentile neighbors in order to seek the Lord, the God of Israel. For seven days they celebrated with joy the Festival of Unleavened Bread, because the Lord had filled then with joy by changing the attitude of the king of Assyria so that he assisted them in the work on the house of God, the God of Israel”-Ezra 6:19-22
            “If anyone sins because they do not speak up when they hear a public charge to testify regarding something they have seen or learned about, they will be held responsible. If anyone becomes aware that they are guilty-if they unwittily touch anything ceremonially unclean (whether the carcass of an unclean creature that moves along the ground) and they are unaware that they have become unclean, but then they come to realize their guilt, or if they touch human uncleanness (anything that would make them unclean) even though they are unaware of it, but then they learn of it and realize their guilt; or if anyone thoughtlessly takes an oath to do anything, whether good or evil (in any matter one might carelessly swear about) even though they are unaware of it, but hen they learn of it and realize their guilt- when anyone becomes aware that they are guilty in any of these matters, they must confess in what way they have sinned. As a penalty for the sin they have committed, they must bring to the Lord a female lamb or goat from the flock as a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for them for their sin.-             Leviticus 5:1-6
Within my church’s fellowship we have a mindset of disciple-partners. We fellowship as a body. We also take the time to build one-on-one close relationships with specific members whom we may “click” with natural; single sisters seek out to other single sisters, married couples reach out to sibling married couples, older brothers plus college single & campus brothers intentionally gel with like-lifestyles members who also fits in the same social demographics. These relationships within our church divides into sectors of ministries, plus they usually reflect and appear as click- friendships kinship. We do this all with the mindset of building strong, spiritual relationships whereby our walk with Jesus can be sharpen.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Proverbs 27:17- “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another”)
This also gives us a safe environment to confess our sins when it’s necessary to do so. There is a difference between a public environment and a private environment; both mentally & morally. In Jesus/ days a man was not welcome in a private environment of a woman unless they were intimately related, a priest would die in the face of the Lord if he entered a holy sacred environment unclean. In the public today, we have counselors, psychiatrists who have a profession in assisting a person to align their mental & psychic make-up to what is normal, true, acceptable and good within the eyes of society. Is the morality of confessing one’s sin based on a person looking healthy in society? For the most part, more people are against the concept of coming face-to-face with their sin, nor do they appreciate the idea of it being publicly broadcast. A balance of personal space, plus deep intimate friendships are important to the dynamics of confessing sin. All Christians needs to find a way to effectively master this lifestyle in order to be successful in walking along side Jesus as His disciple.

​FAITH PERPLEX REALITY

            My son is on the spectrum with autism. I have the most fascinating conversations with him. I’ve never seen (nor do I totally understand) anyone analyze scenarios or situations like he does. What he considers interesting and how he processes a subject brings me to a new horizon on worldviews. Our faith shapes our reality. If you can’t see yourself out of a tunnel the darkness which you are entering brings you into a state of inertia. The light at the end seems further in miles than the distance you’re able to travel. What is the nature of a problem? It has different dynamics for different people. These dynamics are not only shaped by reality, it is also shaped by our faith within that reality. What may seem to be a large obstacle to climb may be actually a hill to an ant farm for someone else. Someone may find it difficult to play the flute while another person could practice that instrument easily yet have problems with the drums. Consider the wisdom of these two scriptures:
            “He replied, ’Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you’’ - Mathew 17: 20 & 21
            “He told them another parable; ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
                                                                                                                        Mathew 13: 31 & 32
Why would Jesus use the analogy of a “mustard seed”? What is the concept of what it can produce? Faith is a diamond rock reflecting the facets of light in reality. I said before, “religion is not a relationship”. Jesus marriage to the church is not of a domestic abusive, dictatorship marriage. The aspect of how one views faith and uses faith is relative to the perspective of using one’s knowledge, talents, and gifts in this world. The music artist Sting was recorded making this quote, “Romantic love is actually frictional or philosophical. The love of a woman is actually the love of God.” In the ministry of Jesus, we see the story of the Samaritan woman at the well. Read these scriptures and meditate on them:
            “Now he had to go through Samaria, So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his sone Joseph. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?’ (His disciplines had gone into the town to buy food.) The Samaritan woman Said to him. ‘You are Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink? (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans) Jesus answered her, ‘If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he and would have given and living water.’ ‘Sir.’ the woman said, ‘you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?’ Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life’ The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water’ He told her, ‘Go call your husband and come back.’ I have no husband.’ She replied. Jesus said to her, ‘You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husband, What you have just said is quite true.’ ‘Sir,’ the woman said, I can see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem’ Woman.’ Jesus replied, ‘believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.’ The woman said, ‘I know that Messiah’ (called Christ) is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us’ Then Jesus declared, ‘I, the one speaking to you- I am he'”                                                                                                               John 4: 4-26
This woman walked away mystified in “awe” of the presence of Jesus because she saw the multitudes of possibilities of truth about this man whom she just me could now make if he influenced her life. People come to financial seminars to hear about different types of business systems. Rather it is through real estate, network marketing or capital investment, the moral of the pitch for the event is for the audience to walk away perplexed within their original believe system based on how their lifestyle being changed because of the revenue they will possess by following that particular new business system. This morality of faith is known as the “why” factor. If the prospect does not develop a deep enough “why” for wanting to accept their opportunity, they will never put forth the work it takes to become successful with their business system. Christ gave us the morality of counting the cost whereby we die to ourselves and pick up our cross daily. This is the bare minimum effort in order to walk with Him as His disciple. Consider His view in how He sees the importance of His own ministry. Consider His view on how He sees you.

​THE BALANCE OF GRACE & TRUTH

            Much as history of creation or evolution, there is history behind our psychic make-up or worldview as humans. There are three main periods of philosophical era within our society’s history- Premodern, Modern & Postmodern. It is hard for the experts to decide the name of the exact era we’re at today. I call the name of this presence era Revelations. The reason I choose this title is because it still holds true to this day from 2000 years earlier the teachings and philosophy of Jesus Christ. When we look at our previous stages based on it’s source of knowledge and over all bases of sources of truth first, we have, Premodern which source of knowledge comes from God or gods (Greek mythology and Balaam) and the morality of truth is based on observation, common sense and authority. We see the relics of this period in pyramids and sundials. Then we have the Modern era which is based on observation but interprets personal experience and strategies to collect resources of sound reasoning. Whereby spirit and physical balance in a state of reasoning measured by biology and a mental state of logic. Then we have Postmodern which combines observation and personal experience but takes a humbler state of believing by saying “We don’t know all truth at all”. This era in history completes itself with many philosophical debates and arguments based on the previous knowledge of the past (thus; the Renaissance period). Now we come to this day and age. Since no human has ever been successful in challenging the reality of living a life here on Earth after death, Jesus’ testimony and teaching challenges the modern time; Revelations. Using the source of observation, experimental combined with all three previous periods, plus a modern sense of spirituality and consciousness; we are able to judge today’s worldview accurately with a central source of truth, the Bible to grasp understanding.
            Now with today’s modern movement of human civil rights within the areas of religion, race, gender, social status, mental health, physical disabilities, we have come to an awareness of equal rights and equality. All humans should be treated fairly with a central theme of love & respect. This is what one human with common sense considers right. A morality of justice is called to order (at least attempted here in the U.S.A.) within the court system and political satire. There is a cause to reason, a conscience state of balance between grace and justice. Now along with the residue of humanity coming from the Postmodern era of philosophy; humans may understand that only God can establish a solid balance of grace and justice, As I said before, there is a source of truth and reasoning to establish a base foundation to grow upon for all belief systems (much as the foundation to establish the U.S. Constitution) we see a clear horizon upon today worldview and era of reasoning. Considering the Bible as a source of objective truth. Then we have clear focus. What is objective truth? Objective truth is as color. Green is a specific wavelength. No one can decide rather they agree, like or dislike this wavelength and address it as something else besides green. This is based on truth which is mathematically established. Everyone knows that what makes something green is that it has a certain measure of light wavelength in the color spectrum. Now there is another form of truth called subjective truth. Subjective truth is based around one’s opinion, beliefs system, likes and/or dislikes. It is subjective to an understanding point of view from a specific perspective. When I consider God’s Word and perspective upon humanity, I consider our culture the LGBD-Q as an example of what God would call a subjective truth. Whereby His word directly addresses the manner or behavior of their sinful act; His heart can love and does love the sinner behind the sin.
            If you choose to enter the scriptures with a clear conscience, God’s Word about homosexuality is clear. Moses in the 13 century writes:
            “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable”
                                                                                                                        Leviticus 18:22
            “If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own hands”
                                                                                                                        Leviticus 20:13
For those who feel that these scriptures only apply to God’s people in that day in age (the Israelites) we see Paul teaching only 2000 years ago.
            “Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lust. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural sexual with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”- Romans 1:26 & 27
It is just around 60 years since the concept of homosexuality was actually accepted in any mentality of Christian doctrine. In the 1960’s Tom Perry open the very firs Gay Theology Christian Church. This open the doors for Christianity to embrace homosexuality without questioning our psychic make-up of what is right and wrong as well as what is true in doctrine. Does the presence of God in one life equal the approval of God? We see clearly in the scriptures Paul writing:
            “Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men”                                                                                                                      I Corithians 6:9-10
People may argue the truth behand Christian doctrine, nevertheless, what is clear and obvious stands through life, death and eternity. People question the reality of the Holy Trinity simple because it does not quote such a thing in the Bible. However, one does not argue logic as precisely as mathematics. The morality off God=Son=Spirit as one is as if understanding the difference of 1+1+1=3 to the moral of 1x1x1=1. Following this mathematics logically leads one to understanding faith. One may know and see facts as- God is love = truth, God loves all people = truth, God loves gay people = true so A=B and B=C so A=C. Thus, God loves homosexuality = false. The logic to follow this though process needs a leap of faith to balance God’s moral and truth.
            “It’s only the mysterious equation of love that is the truth behind logic and reason can be fact.”- John Nash
            Religion is not a relationship. Now when you read I Corinthians 6: 9-11; If you have no moral issues with these things. If you embrace these things with no conscience but open your mind to enter into the mindset and the lifestyle; you cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Learn to be in place of a deep relationship, not in a state of right and wrong, opinions or beliefs. What is justice- a fair balance of judgement between consequences and sin. Jesus Christ is the only true balance between grace and truth.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ‘If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him”                                    John 14: 6 & 7)
Life is not fair. We find ourselves searching for emotional comfort over moral lawfulness. God is a just God. What He balance as truth and reason has the quality of being right mathematically and compassionate with grace. Our state of humanity is intertwining between logic and emotions.

​IS OUR MARRIAGE SACRED

                Marriages are formed to build a personal history together between the two spouses. When a couple gets married their minds become one and they form a unity of faith. Through this one cell (body) God builds families. Families with children grow to understand a relationship with the Spirit through worldviews, personal household stories, and community childhood memories. It takes a village to raise a child. We all come from this process. God is continuously redesigning the profile of human history; with all composition rooted in the framework of truth- Jesus reflects this truth in a family dynamic. We as His heirs and siblings of the firstborn of the dead. Jesus united Himself with the church in marriage as a bride.
                “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”                                                                                                                                  John 14:6
Marriages have their seasons. Much as philodendron maturing and developing through growth with the seasons of Mother Nature; we have a honeymoon phase, career orientated stage, expansion with children, family genre, golden years, plus, inner sexuality and romance progression throughout the relationship. If you read through the Book of Malachi in the Bible God is addressing His people as a husband would address His spouse in a marriage relationship. He is speaking as opening a dialogue like: Where are we in this marriage now?” Or as a husband may ask, “How are feeling about our relationship?”
Read through the Scriptures of the Book of Malachi. Listen to your subconscious through the author’s voice.
“A son honors his father, and a slave his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?’ says the Lord Almighty.”
                                                                                                                                                Malachi 1:6
“Judah has been unfaithful. A detestable thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the Lord loves by marring women who worship foreign god. As for man who does this, whoever he may the Lord remove him from the tents of Jacob- even though he brings an offering to the Lord Almighty,”
 Malachi 2:11 & 12
                “Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.”                                                                                                 Malachi 2:15
                “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you’ says the Lord Almighty.”     Malachi 3: 6 & 7
                “On the day when I act, says the Lord Almighty, ‘they be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him.”
                                                                                                                                                                Malachi 3:17
                “Surely the day is coming; it will burn like doer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire.’ Says the Lord Almighty’ ‘Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.”
                                                                                                                                                                Malachi 4:1-3
Consider a marriage, a sacred marriage; we have abusive relationships, unfaithful relationships, dictator relationships, addictive relationships, obsessive relationships… and good relationships. God reflects a husband of a good marriage. Marriage is a two-way correlation. Religion is not a relationship. What God ask for in theology does not reflect a dictatorship marriage whereby the dominate, spouse bullies the recessive mate. God demonstrates a true, faithful, unconditional, forgiving, and compassionate Father towards His offsprings. This is what a husband recklessly does out of passion relentlessly, revealing Himself upon His Bride and then dying as He lavishly expresses His heart as forever releasing love eternally. You would think as the receptor we would show a little gratitude. 

​GODS REFLECTION

            God hardened Pharaoh’s heart and retrieved the people’s heart who were under Pharoah’s power. God used Pharoah as a tool for His work.
            “So Moses and Aarron said to all the Israelites. ‘In the evening you will know it was the Lord who brought you out of Egypt, and in the morning, you will see the glory of the Lord, because he was heard your grumbling against him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us? Moses also said, You will know that it was the Lord when he gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning, because he has heard your grumbling against him. Who are we? You are not grumbling against us, but against the Lord.’,”
                                                                                                                        Exodus: 16:6-8
And then He established His relationship among His people (who were the Israelites) while they were young in the dessert without an institute government, culture or nation. There never was a point in history whereby we could not see or question the clear will of the Lord. Even when His people rejected Him; God advisors soften God’s heart and God responded with grace. Never were people able to look at their fate, destiny, punishment, curse or their consequences in confusion of God’s Will. It is clear what God’s heart reflects for His people to the end of His name. It was not God’s desire for His people to be established in a manner which they have chosen. It was obvious that God wanted the original generation of the Israelites to enter into the promise land. It was understood that God did not want the Tribes of Israel as a nation to be divided. It is revealed in the history of humanity that God did not want the last Tribe of Israel, Judah, to be desolated. Yet, because humans are granted freewill, God’s people chose an alternate path for their fate. Their rebellion, stiff-necked and hard hearts brought the outcome we all can witness within humanity today.
            “I have seen these people, ‘the Lord said to Moses, ‘and they are stiff-necked people. Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.’”                                                                      Exodus 32: 9&10
It is clear in history God’s heart.
As a loving father disciplines his child it is clear that it is done out of love for the good of the child.
            “Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish them with the rod, they will not die. Punish them with the rod and save them from death.”                                   Proverbs 23:13&14
            “Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.’”                                                                                Proverbs 13:24
            “Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delight you desire.’”                                                                                                            Proverbs 29:17
When we see dark, hard and difficult circumstances enter the fate of our lives, it shall never leave a scar of an unloving, uncaring, not understanding Lord. He is forever presence in radiating love for both the innocent and the wicked revealing mercy and grace for the world to view for His own name’s sake.

​TRANSPARANRENT REASONING

            Consider this truth, Shakespeare play are classical, timeless, masterpieces because the psychology for human never change. What human think is true, good, real, and thought worthy never change in the reality of the world. Thus; the reality of the sun does not change from generation to generation.
God never changes. “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.”- Malachi 3:6
            “In the beginning you laid, the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change they and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end. The children of your servants will live in your presence; their descendants will be established before you.”- Psalms 102:25-28
            Why do I bring up this point? The Pharisees and religious leaders’ sect were just as wrong in the era of thinking whereby the truth still remains presence in reality today. (The way I wrote that might sound a little confusing.) When I walked in my early days as a Christian, I had a thought-provoking question that I always felt would shake the logic of Christianity’s world vision in today’s generation as well as stands for the cornerstone of reality of the cross in Jesus’ days. That question was… “Did the Pharisees wrongfully create legal charges against an innocent man, Jesus Christ, and open consciously put Him through a brutal, cruel, burlesque death believing they were doing the right thing in the eyes of God, or did they know they were wrong? Consider the dynamics of the difference between these two truths. If they were morally confused but innocent in error of judgement the guilt was destiny of continuous rebellious attitude and heart towards an all-loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful God. However, if they were just wicked by nature then the guilt was predestinate. Either way they share the same fate. This morally is why just at the right time in humanity history our all-knowing, all-loving and sacred Lord sent His one and only son down to Earth to die for the sins of humanity.
            Fate determines the destiny for all humanity. Nevertheless, how powerless are we to determines our own destiny. (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.- Proverbs 16:9) What we see as wrong and measure as bad is relevant to our own perspective of world views. God talks about different attitude and behavior from generation to generations, however, our Heavenly Father unconditional love forever remains the same.
            “Brother and sister, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly- mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly, For since here is jealousy and quarreling among are you not worldly? Are you acting like mere humans?- I Corinthians 3:1-3
Spiritual maturity is expected from our creator. He doesn’t expect us to remain ignorant forever. Why sacrifice so much for something destine to fail? Do you feel God has a destiny for humanity based on final condemnation and total revenge or perhaps He awaits for the maturity within His children to realize that He is the one and only true God.

​NOW I SEE YOU… Lord

            What happen when Jesus died; being crucified then resurrected overcoming death, sin and eternal damnation? Why is this implication necessary to remove sin? In order to wrap your mind around this moral consider the reality of Mount Everest blocking one’s vision to seeing pass it onto the horizon. Image being blocked by something that massive to be unable to see pass it’s point. Look into human history. Witness 500 years of war between China & Japan, 200 years of slavery on American soil, the massive truth of the Holocaust, the Dark Ages, the Crucifixion itself. What does it mean to have darkness so thick that you can feel it touch your flesh as damp, moist dew.
            “It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. And Jesus called out with a loud voice, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.’ When he had said this, he breathed his last.”- Luke 23: 44-46
Consider what it is to have an eclipse blocking you from seeing the physical chemistry of sin. Now imagine such a blockage being removed and the vision path is clear to see, walk through and gorge.
            Consider this analogy: you place a person and blindfold them in a large room with obstacles such as furniture within a difficult pathway to walk. Then you instruct the person how to pass through and walk through the room. You give them a spoken, written instruction to hear. The instructions are even written as a map and recorded to orally read so they are continuously played, and spoken, and heard by the person wearing the blindfold walking through the room. There will be a level of difficulty. Now consider the same dilemma with the blindfold being removed. It’s one thing to instruct a blind man where to walk, it’s another thing to give them sight and establish higher level of comprehension.
            “The man answered, ‘Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will. Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.’ To this they replied, ‘You were steeped in at birth; how dare you lecture us!’ And they threw him out.
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found he, he said’ Do you believe in the Son of Man?’
‘Who is he, sir?’ the man asked,’ Tell me so that I may believe in him.’
Jesus said, ‘You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.’
Then the ma said, ’Lord, I believe.’ and he worshiped him.
Jesus said, ‘For judgement I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.’
Some Pharisee, who were with him, heard him say this and asked, ‘What? Are we blind too?’
Jesus said, ‘If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, you guilt remains.’”- John 9:30-41
When Jesus removed spiritual obstacle of sin, He gave us a whole new playing field to battle the enemy. We gain an advantage over Satan which we as a species never had in our primate era. B.C. illustrates a harsh loving God. A.D. reflects a more compassionate, intimate, forgiving God. Consider the battle plan God was dealing with, He had an enemy that not only wanted Him dead but would blow out the fire of light within all His loving children. It was war and no rules were fair. Life and death were reality of natural selection. Are we dealing with a different creator between B.C. & A.D. or have the veal been removed to see our lover (loving God) more clearly whom has always been there to see?
            “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”- Colossians 3: 12-17
What if B.C.’s harsh God was actually a reckless, Father lavishly reaching out to gather His lost children?

​DAYLIGHT UPON OUR EYES

            All humans have a brain. All humans have a mind. Where are these matters separated? What distinct the differences between the two? Is there a difference between a brain and a mind? Or are they one-in-the-same as eating and tasting food. According to the history of psychology the distinction of the mind and brain became common knowledge around the late 1800’s century. Before then when society related to mental illness or defective behavior, it was associated with a spiritual possession or demonic influence. The sense of feeling is what connected the spiritual realms with the physical reality. Our awareness of this bond developed our mental strength, plus conscious insight. Wisdom (or Biblical knowledge) was seen as a gift from God.
            “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”- Proverbs 1:7
Wisdom is still a gift from God. Nevertheless, I question why one uses one’s brain or why one is aware of their mind. I consider the brain the physical part of our anatomy causing us to connect with our muscles & nervous system. It gives our body the ability to keep our hearts beating, blood flowing and air coming through our lungs. All our physical elements are controlled and monitored by our brain. However, our minds give us a window to our soul and connect our insight & vision to the eyes of our hearts. The concept works much as the ability to hear within one’s skills to listen. What we know as our mind and our brain is the doorway to open our conscience and intimacy among the human race. One would know that it would be bad to feed another human being to a wild animal such as a tiger on purpose. Nevertheless, one then becomes aware of the level of human deficiency to actually do it. A healthy way of thinking is to know that the Holocaust is terribly wrong. Yet, our awareness of society and morality of racism in America; thus, slavery is not so many generations old in history. Its one thing to see right and wrong, its another thing to understand sin.
            When Jesus walked this Earth, He understood, forgave, healed and removed sin.
            “Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, ‘Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sin but God alone?’ Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them. ’Why are you thinking these things? Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man. ‘Your sins are forgiven’ or to say. ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins. ‘So he said to the man. ‘I tell you get up, take your mat and go home.’ He got up. Took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying ‘We have never seen anything like this!’” – Mark 2:6- 12
Somehow, Jesus connected the spiritual, demonic, blockage of sin to the spiritual chemistry and healing of eternal life. People’s physical dilemma was healed by His words. Jesus’ conscience awareness combined the morality function of the brain to the fleshless of the mind’s reality. Jesus was able to connect the spiritual & the physical in real time. There is harmony between the distinction of the mind & the brain as real the color blue in the sky and the color of the surface of the ocean. Our feelings testify to this reality. Humanity is young within their intimacy within the human race. Our vision of moral reasoning is keen and naïve. We need the grace of our God to reveal daylight upon our eyes to see.

​WE ARE THE BLACK RACE

            At what point in time did the Jews become a race? Father Abraham represented the seed of faith the Lord used to establish the religion which would reflect His name. The nation of Isreal was known as God chosen people when He led the nation out of slavery from Egypt. The Jewish religion was the culture representing the lifestyle of the Isreal nation.
            “As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. ‘Tell us,’ they said, ’when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?’
            ‘Jesus answered: ‘Watch out that no one deceives you, For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.”
                                                                                                            Mathew 24:3- 8
The Greek word used in Mathew 24:7 for nation is “ethnos” which does not reflect a political structure based around a geographic boundary. However, the word refers to a ethic group. God has been working His Hands through the culture of the world to form one unified race between the Jews & Gentiles to represent one race which know Him thoroughly and will bring Him honor. The language, cuisine, music, literature & lifestyle of the culture reflected in Jesus’ church within the Book of Revelation is the cultivating race emerging from the seven churches which existed during His days on Earth written in Chapter 2 & 3. If we look deeply at the people when Christ transition the Jewish religion to the Christian sect across the globe, we can witness how God’s people become one race. Satan was not blind when He left his signature upon the Jewish nation during the Holocaust. What we witness as evil is only a shadow of what wickedness has been since the dawn of time. We as a species seem to be waiting for darker days representing judgment upon Earth reflecting Jesus’ testimony. This view upon humanity is not God’s view. It only establishes a morality of condemnation which is the exact image Satan wants to create. The Lord is the Alpha, the Omega, the Beginning and the End.
            “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End”
                                                                                                                        Revelation 22:13
Don’t lose focus of the purpose of the cross by being led blindly to an illusion of darkness.
