Slave to Filth

JAN 31 2026 Unnatural Desires
Read Romans 1. The perverts compare themselves to animals today saying "well look at worms. they do it." Nice comparison. They worshipped the creation, not the creator. Worshiping creation is to rebel against the creator which is why since you remove God from your thoughts, he gives you the reprobate mind you desire. Your mind is fouled and foolish. Your heart becomes dark and there is no light. You become like an animal. An animal with a soul, but you choose to live like a brute beast God says. Also we are to be free. God wanted you to be free. But if you are a slave to sin you are not becoming what God made you to be. So be free. Or else for eternity you will suffer in a place apart from God and light and goodness. Why do people choose to willingly follow the insatiable lusts of their flesh? Don't they know that these passions can never be satisfied? That they will always live in frustration and bondage and bitterness? Please consider changing your mind and God can restore your mind and your heart and give you a new mind and a new heart and you can live eternally free with Jesus in Heaven. 

Sowing and Reaping

JAN 30 2026 Laws are Required

According to the law of God, the firstborn had precedence. And another thing we've lost in this generation is any sense of authority. This is the result of falling to a lawless state and a condition of chaos. The firstborn was to have a special place in the hierarchy. God recognized seniority. The firstborn male was to be dedicated to God's service. Or in essence to the service of the nation. Not to go into a history lesson, but God determined the bounds of each tribe and tongue. He scattered the peoples across the earth after they attempted to rebel at the tower of Babel. How else did man become separated by tribe and tongue? This is an ancient mystery. But when God appeared to the Hebrew people upon Mount Sinai he gave them a law which has been preserved until this day. For thousands of years people who didn't even have the law recognized the firstborn son as the inheritor and heir. All natural law and written law and divine law has been recklessly disregarded today. Imagine a nation where instead of each firstborn given, a single tribe of that nation was dedicated to serving God. That was the design God ordained for man. Actually we all can be priests and kings toward God under the new covenant. We were given the order to subdue and take authority over the earth from the start. Not other people, but the earth. Because of the lawless nature of mankind, we need laws and a ruling authority. Imagine a nation! If only America had been a more Godlike country. It was founded from the foundation up, using existing legal systems. Why weren't our forefathers able to see ahead and plan a different system whereby each and every man was included in the decision making process? At first they were. But then this plan was discarded for a representative plan and more inclusive plan. And law was discarded and disregarded. So here we are. Is it better now or worse? Is it better to rebel or obey? God will not be mocked. Whatever we have sown, that shall we reap and the whirlwind is about to destroy everything in it's path.

The Divine Plan for Man

JAN 29 2026 God's Purpose
If God can determine the boundaries of nations and the entire course of history, don't you think he has a specific plan for you? Don't you think he can guide the affairs of one human being? How can you know what God's will is for your life, if you don't bother to take the time to find out what he wants for you? How can you expect to receive God's best for your life, if you are always fighting against his plan? If you are ignorant of God's will and following your own plan, being guided by your own will and the wisdom of the world, then you are most likely fighting against the purpose God has for you. Decide now to search out the will of God for your life. Receive the promises which were given to you, for once you believe that the promises of God were written personally for you, then you will achieve the wonderful dreams God has in store for you.
The ability of the word of God to change lives, to change nations, indeed, to change the world, is undisputable. This is why satan's servants have fought so hard to suppress the word of God. It frightens them to hear that their kingdom is coming to an end. But as you read God's word you will see that God's plan is unstoppable. Has anyone who ever attempted to destroy the Kingdom of God ever succeeded? Forget what the politicians, the musicians, the pastors, the preachers, the actors, the players, the lawyers, the leaders, and everyone else says, if what they say is not in agreement with what God says. Man's thinking leads to darkness and death. Man's thinking has produced mass confusion and mass delusion. Why do you think the world is in the shape it's in today? Is the world following God's plan? If the world was following God's plan, we would already be living in the Kingdom of God. We who believe are the only ones following God's plan, and we reject the world's perspective, the world's interpretations, and the world's way of thinking and doing. We are not in agreement with the world, because the world is opposed to our God. --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles"

Don't Put Me Down

JAN 28 2026  A Refined Culture

I visited Ireland twice in my life. I enjoyed being in Ireland. I felt at home. Maybe because I'm Irish. It's good to be among your own kind. I prefer to be among my own kind. Among people I can relate to. People who understand my world view. Who were raised in the same environment I was. Who know what I mean when I say "you're nothing but a yellowhammer." There's probably only a handful of people alive who know what that actually means. Who heard that phrase from the time we were born and all through our lives. It was a local phrase used as an insult amongst us boys whenever we wanted to make fun of someone or tease someone. Also popular was the insult, "You were born in Brody's woods." You see I feel comfortable among those who I can relate to. Not only environment makes us who we are inside, but our ancestry also affects who we are. Bloodlines and families have meaning, have importance to who we are. We've grown up in a matrix that tries to place us in a slave mentality. A culture that attempts to divide us, not unify us. It tells us that if we don't think of everyone and everything the same that we are guilty of discrimination. Does anyone even realize what the word "discrimination" means? It's been changed to mean something derogatory. But I can't help as a thinking human being to discriminate. My taste buds can discriminate between vanilla ice cream and butter pecan. And I prefer butter pecan to vanilla. Does that mean I hate vanilla ice cream? No, it only means that I like butter pecan better. I like the Irish better than most people. Why? Because I can discriminate between what makes me feel comfortable and what doesn't. You know there's a difference between a person who is of Russian ancestry born in Siberia and a person who is of Celtic ancestry born in County Cork. I can relate a whole lot more to the person from Cork than the guy from Siberia. For one I understand the Irishman's language, because we both are native English speakers. Does that mean I hate all Russians? Of course not. I think they're fine people. I am just not one of them. I can tell the difference between night and day. I can discriminate. I have discriminating tastes. I know what I like. I don't have to pretend I am better than anyone else. I have no guilt in declaring that I enjoy being around some people and others I don't. That doesn't mean I'm any better than them. It justs means I feel more comfortable around those I can relate to. Ask yourself why the world is so divided and why the world is constantly putting down one race above another. Then you'll find the answer as to who the war is against. I remind myself never to fear and never to hate. I have no reason to fear and I have no reason to hate. I believe Jesus will balance the scales in the end. I have a right to defend who I am, but I also realize I can't fight the world. So let God fight my battles and I'll continue to show love and be bold in proclaiming the truth.

Follow the Crowd

JAN 27 2026 But Everyone Does It
If I were to say what's most important I'd say you need to be born again. Next to that you need to grow like a tree planted by the waters and read and heed the word of God. I've never liked the word "Christian." Never once in the Bible are we called Christians. Except that the Bible says the people who didn't know Jesus called the Disciples (which is what the book of Acts calls believers) in Antioch "Christians." There's a verse that says: "But if anyone suffers as a “Christian,” he should not be ashamed but should glorify God in having that name." One lost soul said to Paul, "you almost persuade me to become a Christian." So three times this word is used in the entire New Testament. Never in the mouth of the apostles or prophets or disciples. Always it's used in reference to what unbelievers called the first believers in Jesus. It's not important to be called a Christian, or to attend a denomination, or to have a religion. What's important is to be born again. Then you become a true child of God. You join a family. The family of God. In the book of Acts the believers were called disciples or as a group the church. The epistles call us the called, saints, brethren, the church, the chosen, sons, the elect, little children, beloved, and Jesus himself in the book of Revelation calls us the church. As the scriptures foretold: "Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee" Not once in the epistles did the apostles call believers "christians." The word christian from Strong's concordance:  "2. (figuratively, as understood by the nations) followers of the teachings of Christ 3. (improperly, though very common) a person who identifies himself as a Christian only because he does not identify with another religion." Improperly Strong says. Why don't we call ourselves Brethren? We are family. Not just part of some spiritual belief system. We are born again into the family of God. We are brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, saints, the elect, the called, the chosen. We are His and are no longer of this world. Let them call us Christians, but not everyone who is called a Christian is born again. Only those who are born again will inherit the Kingdom of God. And only those whose name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life will refuse to take the mark of the Beast. Everyone else on this planet will worship the Beast. Just because everyone does it doesn't make it right!!!

Certificate of Divorce

JAN 26 2026 Happy Anniversary

Tomorrow will mark the day I was married many years ago. I signed the divorce certificate that day. Not long after we turned it in. I got my one divorce I was entitled to. I haven't signed any more divorce certificates since that day in January and I don't intend to sign any. Once was enough. I have nothing to offer anyone in this current society. I'm not willing to sign away my life and all I have and all I will ever have. I don't have time to start over again. I didn't feel like it was the fair thing to do when I did it those many years ago. But if I willingly sign everything away, how can I blame someone else for taking it? I didn't want to sign for the right to divorce and right to own me when I did, but the urge was strong in me then. The urge was powerful and the urge overruled my hesitation. Now the urge isn't as strong in me. It's still there. It's always been there. But it's fading and waning with age. I can no longer bench press my weight either. I'm not half the man physically that I used to be. The flesh decays day by day. I maintain my health thanks to God. But I have nothing to offer a bride in today's society. I'm old, I'm set in my ways, and I'm not willing to gift everything I have over on a platter. You see that's communism when someone owns your property. When the government takes what's yours and gives it to another, that's unconstitutional. But they do it everyday because of the urge. The urge rules all. The urge is king. Any wonder why no sensible young man wants to get married these days? That's what the Bible calls it, a certificate of divorce. You weren't supposed to be ruled by man's law when you married and no piece of legal paper was involved, Biblically speaking. You were supposed to be ruled by God's law which states the two shall become one flesh and let no man part them asunder. You only wrote up a piece of paper when you divorced. They just do it ahead of time now. It's adultery but it's legal so it doesn't matter, because no one believes the Bible anyway when it inconveniences them in any way. When half the population is for something because it benefits them financially, you're never going to get them to agree to do what's right and what's fair. Anyway, happy anniversary.

Fading Joy

JAN 25 2026 My Feelings Have Changed

So heed his command to rejoice and be glad. You will not regret keeping this command he gives to you. You will be a bright light, while all around you others are growing dim. It is as you walk with him, that you will be reminded daily of his nearness and dearness. It is the time you take to spend in his word and in his presence, which pays these rich dividends. Remember his command, and you will go forth and grow as a tree planted by the waters. Rest in his presence, and you will not know fear. He is with you. He is your God. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God's pure light has shined, so keep Zion forever in your imagination, and then your thoughts and deeds will be guided by love's pure light. Never forget the blood of Jesus, for then your mind will be turned away from all other vain things. Every day stop to give him thanks. Take a little time for him, and remember that the Most High's love is yours forever! You have the best! So do not be afraid of men, and never be ashamed of your God. For your God is the All-Powerful and he will never let anyone put you to shame. He blessed you and shall bless you even more, with the everlasting reward of souls in his Kingdom, because Heaven, after all, was made for all men. All praise be to him now and shall be his eternal!

   Are we as grateful today that we are going to Heaven, as the day we were born again? Does Heaven still thrill us as much now, as it did then? Have the cares and pleasures of this life drawn our affections away from Heaven? Have we tried replacing the joy of a home in Heaven with Jesus, for a few dollars and the pleasures of earth? Do we still long to see Heaven, as we once longed to? Do we still think about Heaven constantly, as we once did? Is it still our one, fervent desire to see the Savior's face? As we reflect upon these questions, we realize he has placed these thoughts within our heart and he will never let us forget. Surely, we have room to grow, but he will never let us go. Truly we long to see his face and be in Heaven with him, for Heaven is our only true home, even when it seems distant and our thoughts stray far away from home. He will never let us roam too far. --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Reality"

Answer to 1st question: YES

2nd question: YES

3rd question: YES

4th question: YES

5th question: YES

6th question: YES

7th question: YES

But do I feel as joyful and derive as much joy as I once did when I was first saved and knew I was going to heaven? NO. That's just the truth. I have grown older and colder. But I wish to grow warmer and closer to the Lord. I pray to be filled even more with His Spirit. It's the only way I can mend this ruined, dry soul. My daily prayer is come quickly Lord Jesus. Come and save me.

Hear His Word

JAN 24 2026  Rely on His Word
The Lord will speak to our spirit for he is a Spirit. Our inner man is where he dwells. Our heart is the mercy seat, the Holy of Holies. He dwells no longer in temples made with human hands or brought about by the flesh. His word brings light to our temple, dispelling the darkness which once was there. His written word is as supernatural as if God were speaking to us out of a cloud in an audible voice, for it is the written utterances of the Almighty God. We should respect his written word as we would his very self. His word is pure, like pure gold. It is undefiled, precious, priceless, perfect, profitable, and to be desired more than anything. God's word is his image in print. It reveals his character, his desires, his truth, and his plans. Contained within the word is his Spirit, who makes the word live and breathe, "For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life" (2 Cor 3:6).
    Wouldn't we be wise to heed the voice of God if we heard him speaking to us from a burning bush, as did Moses? His written word is just as miraculous as a fiery bush that talks and we would do well to listen closely to what it has to say. Hasn't he told us the very best way to live? We go to his word knowing we can rely on it and live by it. This is the same word which had the power to create all things seen and unseen. That's power. The same word which has the power to keep the heavens running, and the stars in their place, and the sun shining, and the numberless events of our daily lives on earth from disintegrating into chaos and disorder, this same word has the power to create compassion in our heart for our fellowman, and comfort us when we are forlorn, and grant us peace when we are troubled, and give us hope in the midst of calamity. That's power. Life is a miracle and the word gives us the wisdom to see this.
    As the Lord's voice resounded from the entrance of the temple in the days of old, so he speaks to us in the temple of our heart by his abiding presence, to continually guide us and lead us. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (Rom 8:14). May we have a new vision of the power of his word, and greater confidence and faith in his word than we have ever had, until we are determined to live and die by his word. May it be so with every one of us. --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles"

Hide in the Vine

JAN 23 2026 Abide in the Vine

In the book of John Jesus says to the disciples that they need to endure. He said we need to bear fruit. Of course Jesus understood the feeling of mankind. So he warned his followers that suffering was part of following him. And he encouraged them to endure. He said every branch that fails to bear fruit is cut off and cast into the fire. This goes along with the parable of the sower which states that some sprang up but died immediately due to persecution or suffering. Jesus said blessed is he who is not offended by me. Why would we have to fight the good fight of faith if our faith was incapable of being attacked or defeated? But it's a good fight because we have a shield of faith that protects us. But we must not only choose to be saved from hell, we must choose to suffer for Jesus. If we are offended and lose our faith because of persecution for him, then we can fall away and not bear fruit. In other words Jesus said we must daily bear our cross. I believe in eternal security. I believe I have eternal life. Life that never ends and can't be taken away and no man can take me from his hand. But I also believe I have free will to choose whatever I want to believe each and every day I'm alive. I can choose not to follow Jesus. Jesus knew shocks would come to our faith. He warned the disciples of this. So he said Abide in Me. Abide in Me and Abide in My Father. Abide in Me and abide in my love. Abide in me and abide in my word. The shield of faith is strengthened each and every day by abiding in his word. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. Faith becomes alive by practicing the word of God. Never lose your faith. Keep hope alive. Abide in his love. Forgive and don't let persecution or suffering or offense discourage or dishearten your faith. Be strong in the Lord and the power of his might and endure until the very end. Even if I get angry I must endure. Even if I feel like my faith isn't strong enough, I put my trust in him. I abide in the Vine. He will never leave me or forsake me unto eternity.

My Mansion

JAN 22 2026 Dream Home

Another recurring dream? At least one I've had before. This dream is somewhat bizarre in that I'm not sure if it really happened once or I just dreamed it happened. I believe it's from a past dream. It was the dream of a house. This morning the dream was that I was talking to someone and I was recollecting a house I had lived in before or had looked at before. I can see the house and I can see the yard and I can see the house next door. Weirdly it feels like I've been to this house, but I know for a fact I've never lived in such a house, but it's as if I've seen it before and not just in a dream. It's an old house and I can see the inside and it's empty. It's vacant, like no one lives there and nothing is moved in yet. But in this dream this morning I recalled hitting the edge of the house with a vehicle of some kind and breaking some of the wood siding. It was green with wood siding. There's trees in the yard and a house that looks gray next door. It's in a rural location, not in a town. I want to say like the little town we lived in as kids. And as I write this I'm thinking of the green apartment we lived in as kids when we lived in Illinois which I recently went back to see when I was visiting last year. This house looks similar on the outside but it's not two story and it's not an apartment. If I actually dreamed of this house earlier it would've been years ago. That's what's weird about it. A recurring dream from years ago. Last night at church we read John 14, about the Lord's promise of giving each of us a mansion in heaven. In other words we'll have a home that's ours and it'll be ours forever. I've moved more than I care to say. While my Dad never lived more than 30 miles from where he was born. With the exception that he was relocated to Europe for work after he and Mom divorced. He spent 3 years living in an apartment and then he came home again and built a house where we grew up. He ended up retiring in the town next door and that's where he lived until he passed away. What's that line from “It's a Wonderful Life”? It's deep in the race for a man to want 4 walls and a roof over his head. Sure. Not only that there's something about the familiarity of community that a man desires. Growing up in a small town knowing everyone like family bred a familiarity and a sense of belonging that isn't found in rootless wandering. Which is where I find myself now. I just want to go home. I want to be with family. Someday forever I shall.

Irish Temper

JAN 21 2026 It's a Mad World

Anger is a work of the flesh and yet I'm angry. I'm angry at the world. I'm on the edge of anger continually, and I realize it's only by God's grace I can maintain my serenity. I can't seem to control it. "Be angry and sin not" the Lord said. So just the act of being angry isn't necessarily a sin. But if I lose my cool and say things I shouldn't say, well that's a sin. At this point in my life I've given up on even praying that it goes away. I have succumbed to it. I just told God, "if you want to take it away fine, otherwise I'll just accept it like I do everything else that I'm subject to." But it never feels good. I lost my temper today. Is it because I'm Irish or is it because I'm a fallen human? Besides lust, which every man seems to be born with as a "character defect" to use A.A. terminology here, anger is my Achilles heel. I haven't gotten as angry in recent years as I have in past years. My anger is tempered somewhat. I usually don't express my anger when I'm around company. But things do tend to upset me from time to time. I suppose I could go to an anger management class and see what they can tell me. My anger is primarily expressed in language that I know is inappropriate. But I can't help it. No I don't have Tourette's syndrome. I don't believe in Tourette's syndrome. That doesn't mean Tourette's doesn't exist, it just means that I personally don't believe in it. I believe it's just as made up as ADHD and all these other phony diseases that were created in order to sell drugs. No one had ADD growing up when I was a kid, because if you got out of line you got spanked. That cured the disease of acting up. You sat still and you shut up. But when something happens that I don't like or I get hurt I tend to swear without even pausing or thinking of what I'm saying. I know exactly when this started and I know why. But even knowing, I can't seem to help myself. I tell myself to say other words when I'm angry. It doesn't work. I'm better but not cured. There's no pill for it. I just live with it and it always makes me feel remorseful. Sometimes I am angry for a while, sometimes just a few seconds. It depends. I don't like the feeling and I don't like my reaction. I wish someday I might be strong enough to control my emotions entirely. Faith and emotions are at war in me constantly. If I get angry it means my faith isn't solid enough. Why would I think God would allow something in my life that's not good? When will I get to the place that nothing affects me or moves me in the wrong direction? What do I need to do? I keep trying. Can anyone else relate?

You Will Always Be

JAN 20 2026 You are Who You are

Why would I come to a place where I was suspended momentarily in a state of absolute peace, rest, and joy and then wish that it would end? Why would I desire to go back to the normal world of work, travail, cares, mundane routines, and the exasperations of dealing with people on a daily basis whose goal it seems is to make my life miserable? Why would anyone trade nirvana, or paradise, or heaven, or a state of perfect bliss, or whatever you prefer to call it, for the normal state of human existence, which in my experience is filled with people's (including my own) lusts, unfulfilled desires, anger, hatred, envy, mistrust, greed, pride, anxieties, disappointments, discouragements, frustrations, confusion, and so on and so on? Even if we don't believe in Heaven, it is ridiculous to think anyone would willingly trade happiness for misery. Why then would God want his happiness to end? God made mankind the finest companion he could make for himself. We are beings filled with his own divine glory. Why then would God make man in his own image and then wish him away?  Why is it thought an incredible thing that God not only raises the dead, but that it was never God's will for man to die in the first place? God's happiness depends on us being with him, or otherwise he never would have bothered to create us in the first place. As a side note here: reincarnation is a lie from hell. Reincarnation never happens. Reincarnation is the destruction of a human spirit and God is not a destroyer of souls; satan is. We're all going to spend eternity as whoever God made us to be, regardless of where we end up spending eternity. --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles" 

Let Go, Be Free

JAN 19 2026 Monkey Nuts

Samson was supposed to be a leader. He was supposed to be a deliverer. He was supposed to be a warrior, a judge, and a ruler. In the end, he was chained like a dog to a post, and paraded like a fool in front of his enemies. He died an early death, violently, pulling the house down upon himself. This is the end of all those who follow their own corrupt desires. You are already blind and chained and a fool, but since you are blind you can't see it, and since you are bound you can't get free, and since you are a fool you can't see how. Only someone greater than your idol can help you. Jesus alone has the power to break every chain and set the captive free. He can bring you out of darkness and give you light. He can make you a ruler over your captors. But you have to want freedom, and be willing to give up your selfish desires.
The monkey sticks his hand in the jar and grabs the nut, and then he can't get his hand out of the jar. All he has to do is let go of the nut and he can be free. He just doesn't want to let go. In a society where anything goes, it's hard to go against the flow. It's hard not to surrender to the pull of the crowd. It's hard to resist the pull of the temptations of the world. We live surrounded by and flooded with filth and perversion of every kind and description, and we are so thoroughly acquainted with it, we can't even see how bad it really is. We have lost our conscience. We have callused and seared minds. We have cold and scarred hearts. We live in treacherous times, when evil influences are pulling, tugging, grabbing and screaming for our attention. Evil associations will turn our heart to the world, and the things of the Lord, of the Spirit, and of the Kingdom of God will fade out of view. If God turned away from an entire nation because they rejected his covenant, what makes an Irish Catholic, or a German Lutheran, or a Scottish Presbyterian think that God won't turn away from them if they reject his covenant of grace in Jesus Christ? --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Reality"

Bright Light

JAN 18 2026 Pure White

The Lord has blotted out, as with a thick cloud, our sins. We are above the cloud, our sins are underneath it. God doesn't see our sins, even as we cannot look through the thick clouds. So we should forget those past sins. Those sins are of the earth, earthly, but God sees only the cloud, where we dwell with him in the heavenly realms. He sees the brilliant, white, dazzling purity above the cloud, which is his glory reflected back to him. There is nothing as bright as the light reflected off his cloud. It is a brightness difficult to behold. The Lord beholds us as white and radiantly pure, for he sees us through the cloud of the righteousness of Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus' righteousness is the veil placed between God and our sins. God doesn't see the earthly part of us. He sees the heavenly part of us, where we sit on high with Christ. Christ has lifted us up. We're pure and unblemished in him, clothed in the white robes of his righteousness. He has blotted out and forgotten all our sins (Isa 44:22).
Happy are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Our worst enemy is not satan, but our own deceitful heart. A pure heart is what God seeks and satan despises. When we have a pure heart, we never give the enemy a chance. With a pure heart, we submit to God and we give resistance to the enemy. We fight against the enemy and he must flee. We stand next to the throne of God. We have a covenant; a covenant of peace between us and the Father. It's a covenant of faith and trust. It's based on the written word, the indwelling Spirit, and the invisible God. It is founded on the immutability of his own person and on his power. His power to keep, preserve, raise up, maintain, protect, defend, warn, guide, love, and his power to show mercy, compassion, loving kindness, grace, and forgiveness. This covenant is sealed and made legal before the court of Heaven by the eternal blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. It is only possible to maintain this covenant because of the fact that he is constantly with us, for us, and on our side. We are to strive to walk in his ways and he is obligated to keep and guide us in his ways. Although the devil continually stands by to accuse us and resist us, we have robes whiter than snow, upon which there is no blot or stain, and so there are no grounds for the accusations the enemy raises. Neither are there any means by which he can gain advantage of us. He is defeated, out of the picture, vanquished from our life, by the righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ.
Behold, Christ's power has made us pure! His power is all-powerful, and we are all-pure. We are total purity, for he has given us his pure and holy gift. The gift of his salvation. By grace we are saved through faith and not of ourselves; it is a gift of God. We seek this gift for others, so as to persuade men to accept and receive it. Open the blind eyes, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and raise the dead: these are all possible by his all-powerful word. We have freely received; may we freely give. May we take his word to heart and do it and obey it. Then we shall find the hungry souls. We pray, that the seed may be watered. We watch and he strengthens us. We trust and he refreshes our soul. --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles"

Rule of Law

JAN 17 2026 Rod of Iron 

I had a recurring dream. I never have those, well rarely, but this time I did. And I remembered them. Last night I woke up dreaming of the same place I had dreamed of a couple nights ago. I'm driving down a highway and I have no idea where this is at. It's not near a city because it's out in a desert region. The terrain looks very similar to where I lived in Arizona. I pull off this highway and I drive down a dirt road into the desert. I am looking for rocks. I find rocks. These are valuable rocks. Are they gold? Are they silver? Are they diamonds? I don't know what I'm finding. I only know that it's valuable or I wouldn't be looking for them. But I know where they are and I go there to find them. This recurred again this morning when I woke up. I told myself that I just had this dream. I want to live by revelation. "For I did not receive it from a human source and I was not taught it, but it came by a revelation of Jesus Christ." Whether I have a dream or a vision or a revelation, I want it to come from Jesus Christ. The way to live is to follow my guide. He's my guide. He left for heaven, is seated at the right hand of God on high, but he sent His Spirit as my guide. I need a guide. I don't know what path to choose, or what road to take, or what action is best, or how to run my life without a guide. If we would let Jesus guide our lives, what a wonderful world this would be. He would tell us to love one another and he would lead us to still waters. The world wouldn't be filled with violence and theft and perversion and corruption if Jesus and His Spirit were our guides. We would have an almost perfect world. I wait for this day--"who is going to rule all the nations with a rod of iron." The world will be guided by the rule of His law, which is love and peace for ever. 

Proclaim the Message

JAN 16 2026  The Message 

    "Through Jesus, all the work necessary for the salvation of mankind has been finished. The world needs to know this. When we preach Jesus as the righteousness of God, as the only righteous Man who ever lived, we proclaim his Kingdom. Mankind is separated from God by sinful rebellion. Only Christ has the power to restore to mankind what they have lost due to sin. No one else is good enough, perfect enough, or holy enough to do it on their own. Everyone must accept Christ, if they hope to be saved. There is no other way to be made righteous before God. The work of righteousness has already been attained; the gift has already been given. All that is left is for us to accept the gift of righteousness, and then eternal life and sonship in the Family of God is ours. 
    Why must we proclaim this message? Because without a preacher, they will never hear, and if they do not hear, how can they believe, and if they do not believe, then how can they be saved (Rom 10:14)? This message is for everyone. This message is for the weak, for it can make a giant out of a weakling. This message is for those who hate, because it makes lovers out of haters. This message is for sinners, because it makes saints out of the worst of sinners. This message is for the dying and the hopeless, for it brings life and hope to all. But this message is not for those who reject it. It is only for those who will accept it. For thousands of years the gospel has been spreading throughout the earth, and for thousands of years some have received the message, while others have rejected the message. Our job is not to get people to accept it; our job is simply to tell it. It is up to each individual whether they will accept it or reject it. 
    Christ came not to force himself upon anyone, but to offer to everyone a way out of death. Jesus is not a dictator. God has given everyone free will. The gospel has the power to free the will of man from satan's stranglehold. The knowledge of the truth will set men free, but everything Christ accomplished is useless and meaningless to the individual who is still living in ignorance and rebellion. That's why God has committed to us the responsibility of taking this message to the nations. Our primary responsibility as children of God is to conduct our lives in such a manner as to bring the truth to as many people as possible. Without us, they'll never hear. Without God, they'll never change. The Lord works with us as we spread this life-changing message of salvation. 
    The message of the Kingdom of God is a realistic message; practical and useful for everyday living. It changes every aspect of the lives of those who receive it. It makes new creations out of everyone who believes it. It unleashes the power of the Father God in every person who opens their heart to it. We proclaim a message of love, justice, faith, power, truth, and hope. There is nothing but good in the message of the Kingdom. It is the only message which can set men totally free. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to be free. Not everyone wants to hear the truth. Not everyone wants love, justice, and the assurance of eternal life. Our ancient foe fights against us and our gospel, ever striving to hold men in bondage to sin, hate, and deception. But since we have the only message possessing the power to break the enemy's hold, we must boldly proclaim it and not be discouraged." 

At the Journey's End

JAN 15 2026 Rich Dividends 

"So come and drink of the water of life. Come to this river which shall flow forevermore. The grace of God is the greatest gift you could ever have. Christ is able to make all grace abound, so having all grace you may have more than enough power to face all problems and face them well. So having all grace, you may have the strength to face every challenge and every task with pleasure, knowing his grace cannot fail to help you in every situation. His grace is sufficient for you. You are no exception to the rule. If you find that you have failed the task, then you did not partake of his grace. But where sin and failure abounded, grace did much more abound. Even in failure you are not lost. There are more battles ahead and victory lies in store for you, if on his grace you rely. For by grace you were saved and by grace you can stand in God's presence as his child. Praise Jesus for his matchless grace.
   Remember, the chastisement of the Lord is his loving way of getting you back on the right road. You need not fear his wrath, although you should respect him with reverence and awe. Though you have failed, do not forget it is by grace alone you were saved, and it is by grace you stand. Never forget it is only what the Lord has done which causes you stand. Did he not say he would teach you his will? Surely he shall show you the way. Heed his Spirit, fully trust him, and you will learn how to obey. He is always on your side and his ways are always right. Only acknowledge your sin and continue to seek him for more grace. He loves you and his Spirit is yours to enjoy. So delight yourself in the Lord and he will grant the desires of your heart, for he is most gracious, loving, and kind.
   The more you appreciate what Jesus has done for you and what Jesus has given you, and when you ponder what he has brought you out of and how great a change he has made in your life; then you will long to thank him for all he's done. Death has been destroyed and now you have eternal life, because of his love for you. He looks for you to be of humble heart, for it is the humble in heart who he can lead, guide, and direct. The humble are those who walk by his side. But if you are proud, he will not leave you or desert you. He will not let you go, or leave you helplessly reliant on your own strength. He has never forsaken his own. Rather, he is ever longing to come back and take you, so you might be with him forever. He hears your cry. He sees your heart which seeks after him. He waits for you to humble yourself, so he may bless you and lift you up. He waits for the lost and the downtrodden to respond to his love. He waits for the cold in heart to come to him. He waits patiently for those who have turned from him to come back to him, so they may receive blessed forgiveness.
    Everything you possess spiritually has been given to you. It has been freely given. All is freely given from God. Before you were formed in the womb, these things were prepared for you according to his will. When you were born from above, new things were given--love, joy, peace, gifts of the Spirit, and everlasting life. You did not have them or make them, neither did they come from you, but they were freely given! When you recognize this, you shall begin to see how abundant his grace is to you. He did not give you all these things to use for your own purposes. Do not think proudly, as if you did much to deserve all these blessings. Do not deceive yourself, by taking the glory for his gifts. You will receive the greatest pleasure by using your blessings and gifts for God's glory. Like an obedient son, who knows he will inherit all his father has, use all these things to build up his Kingdom, and you yourself will share in the rewards when you receive your own kingdom. Joyfully, thankfully appreciate the grace he has bestowed upon you, as you use all you have for him. Then you shall obtain the full potential of all the rich dividends which await you at your journey's end." --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Reality" 

God Will Reward

JAN 14 2026 Accept God's Will 

I'm convinced God is fair and just. The world is not fair and the sooner we realize this the better off we'll be. As a child I expected to be treated fairly and when my expectations weren't met I was disillusioned and disappointed. I learned fairly young that things happen to us which don't seem to make sense to our minds. We feel like there must be something wrong with the world. It surely isn't us. People all feel the same when they're treated poorly. We feel bad. We get mad. We feel sad. But just because we feel sorry for ourselves and feel like God should pity us, it doesn't mean things will change and go the way we want things to go. I was upset about the way my life was going as a young man and I rebelled against God. I knew God didn't want me to do certain things, but I did them anyway. I was mad and this was my way of trying to change things. I took things into my own hands and disobeyed God's laws and thought maybe God would change his mind and do things differently. He would give me what I wanted. It didn't work out for me. Things don't work that way. Later in life when the pain drove the rebellion out of me and I submitted to God, I came to believe in two simple rules of thumb. 1. Do what's right 2. Work hard. I believe that if I do these 2 simple things then life will work out. And in general that's been true in my life. If I let go of what I want and trust in God that's doing what's right. If I work for what I want, then good things will come my way. I can't just hope and wish things will change. Hoping and wishing doesn't get the job done. It's not how the world works. We're not rewarded because we feel special. We're not entitled to everything we want just because we want them. Simple life lessons. But I wish I had learned them earlier in life. I had to learn acceptance above all, which is surrendering to God's will regardless of what that might be. I've never gotten everything out of life that I've wanted. It's been hard sometimes. But I remember the words of the Lord, “If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross day by day, and so be my follower...Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God...But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.” As Brother Hagin would say God doesn't always pay on Friday, but there is a payday. Jesus clarified his rule of fairness when he said, “And that servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating. But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating.” Always remember that suffering comes for a purpose, but it is only temporal. Hell is eternal. If you wish to accept Jesus and be saved, then accept that fact that you must do his will for your life and that not everything beautiful and good will be granted you in this life. Healing is for all, but not all get healed. God will reward you in due season. Just accept and believe and receive your reward in Heaven! 

Perfect World

JAN 13 2026 Better World

When I played at recess as a young boy I had no worries. The life we had then is impossible to be repeated by 7 year olds today. Unless they're Amish or their parents don't let them around other kids and don't let them look at cellphones or the internet. The world we lived in then was completely different from the world of today. We were completely ignorant of any evil existing in the world. We were sheltered in a way that is hard to imagine today. I had no knowledge of anything in the world that could possibly hurt or harm me. The most terrifying thing in my existence was a wasp or bumblebee. Outside of that, my world was similar to living in a bubble, surrounded by pillows, and run by people who actually cared. I wasn't raised by strangers who watched me for money. I had a Dad and a Mom that I saw and talked to every single day. I never heard one swear word. The only pain I experienced was if I got spanked for doing something wrong. And that pain was temporary. I really didn't know what pain was or what it meant to be afraid. But I afraid of the dark. I imagined imaginary things and was scared. But if there was light I was afraid of nothing and no one. I understand because I live in the present world, that this is not something that can be experienced by any 7 year old child in America today. They are exposed to too many things and if their parents don't allow them to be exposed to it, their friends at school will expose them to the world or the teachers will. Who in their right mind would've wanted to become a girl when we were 7? This wasn't even something that we thought about, let alone gave any thought to. I have a computer, I have a phone, I see the internet, I see TV, I see TV ads. I have seen glimpses of what they consider children's shows. It's beyond anything I would've or could've imagined as a child. This destructive and sinister and vile and foul world has polluted the minds of the children, before they are even able to comprehend the difference between right and wrong. I can only look back and see what a beautiful world it was. Of course, there was evil in the world back then. But I was oblivious to it so it didn't affect me in any way. Today it's impossible, nearly impossible, for children to be protected from the filth that floods the airways today. I feel sorry for kids. I see the effects it's had on the minds of the young, the youth, this current generation. When I remember the world I had, I think of the world that will be. This one is being annihilated by the righteous judge and he will leave no wickedness unpunished. It will be erased! And then a better world, similar to the one I had as a boy, will take it's place. And truly the world will be a better place. 

Peace of Mind

JAN 12 2026 Peace in the Valley

If I have a prayer today it's for no fear and more peace. If God is my father and I am his son, then I shouldn't be afraid. I wonder how many times I let my fears and doubts get the best of me and get the victory over me, causing me to lose my emotional balance and make wrong choices. If I pray I believe he hears me. “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid...For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.” I have wasted too much time being afraid. I used to experience panic. It's not a pleasant experience. It's dreadful and debilitating at times. When I look back on what happened then, I still don't understand why. I don't know why. I don't know what caused it and I don't know what healed it. I just know that at some point I quit being afraid or having attacks. I can pinpoint the exact time I had my last attack and I know what triggered it. Since then I've gotten better. That was 27 years ago. I never had to take medication for it but I did medicate myself for years using a bottle. Big baby. Since God didn't give us fear, then it had to come from another spirit. I'd say fear is of satan. Evil spirits cause fear, cause panic, cause dread, cause terror. Today if I pray, it's for no fear and more peace. The courage to do whatever I need to do is available if I ask. The peace that goes beyond all logic is available if I ask. God has healed me spiritually and completely. I still fight these old emotions and patterns of guilt and doubt and fear. But my help comes from the Lord and with his help I'll be able to overcome anything that tomorrow may bring. I have peace now and forever. One day I'll be on top. As the bible says, “You will look for the people who were against you, but you will not be able to find them. Those who fought against you will disappear completely.” There's nothing to be afraid of. 

A Simple Matter

JAN 11 2026 Simple Things

I remember learning how to tie my shoe. In my day I didn't have youtube to show me how to do everything, so we needed someone real to teach us. Usually a parent, a grandparent, or relative. In this case it was my Aunt. We were at the beach and my Aunt was swimming with us. I went back from the beach and was putting my shoes on and asked if she could tie my shoes. She said, “you don't know how?” No. “Let me show you.” And she did. And I learned how to tie my shoe. I think I was about 2 or 3 years old. She was younger than Mom and realized how much kids really knew. Tying my shoe was a simple thing and it was something I was very proud of that day. I never had to ask someone to tie my shoe again. I can't remember if Mom was impressed or not, but I didn't have to ask her anymore. My Aunt taught me other things as well. We were waiting in the car in the store parking lot. Probably waiting for my Mom to come out. I saw a lady come out of the store and I said to Auntie, “she's ugly.” My Aunt looked at me and said, “it's not what's on the outside but what's on the inside that counts.” And she shamed me for calling this woman ugly (even though she truly was unattractive). I never forgot what she told me that day. Unfortunately my Aunt grew up and forgot to take her own advice and married a felon. Oh well. We all make mistakes. If she hadn't married the felon, well her life would've been different is all I can say. That same felon later tried to drag me out of my Dad's house and fortunately my Mom caught me by the arm before he could and probably saved me from physical harm. He did bust the window out of our front door though. Dad started carrying a revolver in his pocket after that incident. Dad said, “if he ever threatens anyone in my family again, he's going to get shot.” Ah, that encounter never happened, so no one got shot. If it had I have no doubt it wouldn't have ended well for anyone. Life would've been different if my Dad had gone to jail. For him and for the rest of us. I don't want to talk about what is ugly in this world and what is not. Who qualifies as fat and who doesn't. It's not up to me to judge. I'm allowed to have an opinion though. Our culture wants to tell us that there's no such thing as ugly or pretty, or fat or thin. Or even right or wrong. Everything is relative today. So you're not supposed to have an opinion on anything, unless it agrees with their agenda. There's no difference between people, except when one person is given an advantage over another person because of gender and race. Then it's ok don't you know because unfairness has to be the rule by which we address past grievances. So more unfairness makes everything right. If there ever was such unfairness. Isn't the world we live in sick? Such a simple thing. Learning to tie my shoe. If you can't tie your own shoe, let me show you how, and if you're too dumb or lazy to do it yourself, then don't expect me to do it or pay for your slip on shoes. God is this world a mess. Why can't everything be simple? Why isn't life fair? I'm waiting for it get better. Blow that trumpet Gabriel. Sound your horn. Let the skies split open and let the stars fall from the heavens. 

Malevolent not Benevolent

JAN 10 2026 Benevolent not Malevolent

The kings of the earth are malevolent. They promote poverty, strife, wickedness, sickness, disease, war, violence and they want us all dead and our children enslaved. This is nothing new. The Roman Empire existed off the back of the soldiers and the conquered peoples. It was a large empire and the rulers were intelligent enough to know they benefited from the favor of their own people. Once they became so corrupt that the system no longer functioned they fell to the barbarian hordes. The rule of law always begins to break down once corruption reaches a certain point at the top and then the empire falls into chaos. My parents were benevolent. They wanted me to grow and become strong so that I could achieve success. I had to follow their rules though while I lived under their protection. As we approach the end of time and we see the decay in our country and how our enemies plot night and day for our destruction, we see the depth of this malevolence that inhabits the hearts of those in charge. Why else would they allow millions of foreigners to flood our country? People who have no interest in benefiting anyone but themselves. The rule of law has broken down and soon chaos will erupt everywhere around the world. The great culling of the useless eaters (that's the rest of us) is about to ensue and there's nothing going to stop it. But it's all good. It all happens for a reason. Evil must be punished and destroyed, so that goodness and happiness can take it's place. The Good Shepherd, the Lion of Judah, the Benevolent Ruler will arrive on a white horse. Isn't it symbolic that he rides a white horse? Why not a black horse? Why not a purple horse? No, Barney will not be bringing in the millennium. The white horse represents his authority and purity. He loves us all and only because he does, will he completely wipe out evil on this planet. A man will be more rare than a golden nugget. And those are pretty rare. You don't see them laying around everywhere do you? Just as hard to find will be a man. Before God said, “Let there be light,” he knew this is how it would all end. But he's been more than patient and those who endure to the end will know his magnificent benevolence and forever rejoice! Hang on, I'm coming! Malevolence will be stamped out and only benevolence will be seen across the planet.

I Need a Vacation

JAN 9 2026 Take me Away 

We used to go on vacation every summer as a family. It was more than 12 hours away where we used to go. Dad liked to drive at night, so we'd pack up and leave in the dark. Us kids would mostly sleep since we were tired and there was nothing to see or do. I remember a few things happening on the way to the lodge. Once we hit a skunk. That woke me up out of a dead sleep and I left like throwing up. Skunks smell awful. It took a long time for that smell to go away. I remember hearing a song by Diana Ross and the Supremes that was very popular at the time. My Dad liked Motown for some reason, so I grew up liking it myself. The other memory I have is hearing about RFK's assassination on the radio as we were driving north. Since my gramma loved JFK I was a fan of RFK, even though I was years from being of voting age. I was biased toward the Kennedy family. When he was shot it was almost as tragic as what happened to his brother, but he wasn't president yet. It was clear he was going to win in our minds. It was evil. I was sad. Why RFK and JFK gave hope to so many I have no idea. I had no knowledge of politics. I just knew something felt right about them. Who will lead us now into the new world? There's no real hope on the horizon is there? As all signs point toward the prophetic vision of John the Revelator and the fig tree blossoms and signs of his return are everywhere, who will lead us? The dark man of sin who was once, was wounded, and will return, who will be filled with satan, will deceive the whole world because God himself will send a delusion that this is the savior, since the world has rejected the true savior, who paid the price for our eternal salvation. Since the world despises the Lamb, God will bring a destroyer, a wolf in sheep's clothing. I wish I was driving up north with Dad and Mom and my siblings right now in a world where no one gets shot because of what they believe. But that world was shattered long ago by satan and those who worship him. I worship the Lord. He saved me out of this world and I look only for his kingdom which is to come and then his will will be done and his power, glory, and Kingdom will last forever. Begone satan! I will not follow your beast who pretends to bring peace. He will only bring war and the destruction of mankind. Take me away Calgon!

Our Heritage

JAN 8 2026 Our Heritage

My grandfather was a carpenter among many other things. He was also a first generation American who was born in Chicago and grew up in the city. His father had emigrated to America seeking a better life. He met his mother there in Chicago and they became a family. When my grampa was 14 he left home and began working on his own. He worked in a soap factory and the stockyards and delivered new vehicles across country and then the depression hit. He rode the rails. He was a hobo. He worked odd jobs all over the country. He went to California. He worked on a ranch. He worked as a cook in a hamburger joint. He avoided certain states because they would put hobos on chain gangs. He landed back in a small town in Illinois south of Chicago, because his father had lost his work in the city and his parents moved to this town. Towns then were still very ethnic. This town was predominantly French. They couldn't pronounce or spell Polish names so his name changed. My grampa became by use a different last name. He was originally born another name related to a very famous college basketball coach. Anyway grampa met my gramma who

lived in this town. Her father worked for the railroad there. They met and married. And almost immediately they moved to a town outside this town and WW2 hit. Grampa farmed and raised 4 kids. Gramma struggled to keep food on the table. But they survived. Then 22 years after they married I was born. I still have vague childhood memories of being on gramma and grampa's farmhouse. I loved it there it was I remember. It was always fun to see gramma. I wouldn't be here but for a combination of impossible events that brought all of us together. You must realize how important you are in this vastly humongous universe. Though you are but a speck of foam on the ocean, God knows every word before you speak it. That's his mind. He's greater than AI. AI will never be able to read the minds of man. Although they've tried. What is in the human heart is unfathomable. Machines that run mathematical computations at blinding speeds at great numbers, cannot match the divine knowledge of God. The reason? Man is who created these machines. And his intellect is limited. “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be. I will give thanks to you because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made. Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this.” He has loved each of us with an everlasting love. His love never fails, and will endure for eternity. In going to heaven we will find a place of perfect love that will be our home forever. How marvelous! How wonderful! I am happy to say I am his. 

Living for Eternity

 JAN 7 2026  Saints live for Eternity

"The saint can enjoy whatever life brings, knowing he is headed in one direction and one direction only--straight to immortality. When he faces opposition it doesn't shake or move him, because his face is toward the future and he knows his future is bright. God has not only defeated death for him, but everything which harms and destroys. God has promised to lead him ever upward from one victory to another victory. The path of the righteous is a path growing brighter and brighter each day, for each day leads him one step closer to infinity, an infinity of being one with God. To put it plainly, the saint lives in a manner totally opposite of the manner in which the sinner lives. The saint lives for eternity; the sinner for the moment.
    With death out of the picture for the saint, he lives in a way which baffles the sinner. A saint whose faith is real, whose trust is totally in the Lord, behaves as if things which are visible, are not really real. The believer behaves as if invisible things are really real. "If they drop the bomb on us, so what? I'm going to Heaven," the believer thinks. "If the bottom falls out of the economy, so what? God takes care of me," the believer says. "If the world ends today, so what? I'm ready to reign," the believer declares. A believer who lives and dwells in the consciousness of his immortality is not going to allow anything on earth to bother or control him. And even if something does upset him, it's not going to defeat him, for victory is one thing he never questions. He absolutely knows his victory is assured. He may not always feel like living by faith. He doesn't have to feel like it. He doesn't go by what he feels, he goes by what he believes. Feelings are a thing of this life, this flesh, and they come and go, but God is forever. God's promise is forever, his power is forever, and his Kingdom is forever. The saint may feel down, he may feel sad, he may feel forlorn, but he doesn't depend on his feelings. He doesn't give up, become depressed, act rude, grow resentful, or hate others. He simply recognizes feelings for what they are; another result of death and of the fall." --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles"

Pain Will Go Bye Bye

JAN 6 2026 Those who Endure 

"Pain comes in many forms as well. We may be ridiculed and suffer mental anguish. We may lose someone close to us and suffer the pain of loss. We may be lonely and experience the pain of boredom, isolation, misunderstanding, and frustration. We may be persecuted physically and suffer bodily pain. We may be insulted, resented, hated, despised, spit upon, cast out from the company of others, and experience the pain associated with all these. Yet because of our faith in Christ and our ultimate victory over death, pain can be turned into a blessing, both now and in the time to come.
    Time is an ally of the saints, because it is over the duration of time that God makes all things work together for our good. During times of suffering, God is there to comfort us and we can lift up our eyes from the present conditions and give thanks to God for our eternal home. Suddenly, we are no longer controlled by our circumstances, we have overcome the pain, we have overcome the suffering, and we have, with God's help and power, turned a bad situation into a blessing. We suffer the hatred of others without striking back, because in time we know that God will reward us in some spectacular way beyond our present knowing. We suffer silently, patiently, realizing that God sees and knows and sympathizes with our suffering. In faith, we rise up and claim victory over evil, death, pain, and woe, and simply shout praises. God himself will make everything right and Jesus will give us the victory. We will never die; not really die. We just go to sleep until the resurrection. Always, constantly, we remember the fact that we have complete victory over death and this makes everything else which occurs throughout the days of our lives seem ridiculously unimportant. Our perspective is an eternal perspective, not a temporal one dominated by every fleeting circumstance of life." --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles"

Know No Fear

JAN 5 2026 All Fear is Gone 

"Death is the one thing most of us fear. From this fear stems all other fears. Fact is we often fear what we cannot explain and so we wonder what awaits us on the other side. Death is an enemy, because death was not the will of God for man. We do not really want to die, even as saints. What we really want is to be changed, as Jesus was changed, from a mortal to an immortal. Not until the last day arrives and we are joined to our immortal bodies, will we have total victory over death. Death has many forms. Disease and pain touch our body with a form of death. Anxiety, lack of energy, lack of strength, and lack of material needs, are all aspects of death. And the numerous destructive and hurtful lusts, desires, and passions of the flesh are all foreshadows of decay and death. All these forms of death will not touch our immortal body and soul, and thus we will enjoy everlasting victory over all the things which now plague humanity. For us, death is a phantom foe, and since we know what lies ahead we need not be afraid.
    Time, for men, is the great enemy, the ally of death, for after a brief moment men are cut off from everything they hope in. But for the saints, time is on our side and death is the passageway releasing us from this world to live in a better world. For the moment, we are subject to the effects of death working in our flesh, but through Christ Jesus we are not overcome or defeated by any of these effects. Though we are subject to sickness and disease, we have the power to overcome them through faith in Christ. Though we are subject to pain, we do not have to be defeated by it." --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles"
