Rich Dividends

MARCH 31 2026  Rich Dividends

"The Apostle Paul was another man who kept his eye on the invisible realm of eternity. Paul suffered as perhaps no other man has ever suffered for a cause. Yet, because his eyes had been opened to the reality of the lasting pleasures of God's Kingdom he could say, "For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal" (2 Cor 4:17-18). These were not just words to Paul. They were his experiences. He could not find sufficient words to contrast the joys of eternity with the sufferings of this life. Are your eyes opened to these realities? Do you have an awareness of infinity? Do you know that time and space are physical limitations upheld by God's limitless power? When at last God is finished with time and space, they will be no more. Death is the absence of life; darkness the absence of light. Will your eternity be spent in darkness, or in light? Does the blood of Jesus mean anything to you? Are you willing to throw away an eternity of bliss, for a few selfish ambitions and pleasures?
The simple message of Christ's love is what thousands have shed their blood to carry. Many still suffer persecution and death as they proclaim the message of God's Kingdom. If you have been alive more than five seconds, you know that suffering is a part of life. The cries of a newborn baby attest to that. It was not meant to be this way. There was another option open to mankind. We were not designed to live in a world filled with suffering. It is something our minds revolt against, and our bodies cringe from. But the God who can never be defeated made a way for us by His incalculable love to be forever freed from the pains of our own selfish choices.
Please listen to this simple but profound truth. You cannot avoid suffering in this life. That is practically impossible. But you can choose which kind of suffering you want. You can choose the kind of suffering that both overcomes and destroys you. You can run from the light and suffer the consequences, both now and forever, or you can come to the light and choose the kind of suffering that overcomes the world by faith in the Son of God and reap eternal benefits. If you have one ounce of faith in who God is, then you must trust that He is greater than any suffering, trouble, or trials that may come to you in this life. You can face life trusting in your own devices, or you can face life trusting in this great Creator. Think about it. Ponder your decision well. My prayer is that you choose to believe in love, no matter what you think it might cost you. Later you will find out that it pays rich dividends to trust God, as we rule together, alongside our Redeemer, in The Eternal Empire of The Elect®." --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Reality"

Great Treasure

MARCH 30 2026  Great Treasure

As you believe and as you speak, so shall it be. You are blessed to have the privilege of speaking his word. Mountains of opposition shall be flattened before you. God's truth in your mouth strips the enemy of all his power, since satan's power is based on lies. God's truth on your tongue brings life eternal, life abundant, a life of love, and every good thing. As you glorify Jesus with your mouth, he shall be pleased to watch over his word and perform the promises he has spoken. Commit your thoughts and words to him and your ways shall be established and made firm, for his word is a solid foundation. To God be all the glory.
God can see into your very soul. Truth will shine the light
for all to see. Heb 4:12-13; Amos 8:11-12
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for unto Israel did the Lord commit the thousands of promises in his law! Unto them were committed the oracles of God! Blessed be the Lord God of the holy prophets and apostles, for through them he has preserved a people unto himself! These men of God made an investment in many lives. They invested in the Kingdom of God. They invested their lives in the plans and purposes of God. It was through faithful men, men faithful to record God's word, faithful to never let his word drop on their ears and then be forgotten, responsible men, men responsive to the Spirit, through them we have the written word of God. God spoke to them through the inspiration, the voice of his Holy Spirit. They faithfully recorded his words, as they were revealed to them. They did not even fully comprehend or understand them all, but they heard God's voice and they knew his word was true. They considered his word a great treasure. His word was more precious to them than the riches and pleasures of earth. They collected his word, rather than wealth and fortune. They made their hearts, their hands, and their time available to God. They listened and he spoke. They waited and he answered. They learned as he taught. And through them, we have a record of God's will, God's voice, God's design, plan, purpose, intent, ways, character, laws, commands, acts, power, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, God's very thoughts, and all this we inherited, through the blood, sweat, and tears of these faithful men. --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles"

Palm Sunday

MARCH 29 2026   Palm Sunday
Jesus died but now he's been alive for 2000 years. Imagine the pain and suffering he went through. But remember his suffering? Yes, for 33 years he did the Father's will. He suffered in the flesh. He fasted for 40 days. He prayed all night long. He denied himself a wife and family. He lived on the charity of those around him who followed him. He had no home, his family disowned him, he was an outcast, considered to be on the level of a criminal, and then he was crucified. He was scourged and stripped and whipped and hung on a tree naked to die in shame with nails piercing his hands and feet. The jews could've stoned him to death. They wanted to stone the woman in adultery, didn't they? They stoned Saint Stephen, didn't they? They even stoned Saint Paul. But did they stone Jesus for his crimes? No. Why? Because the scripture had already foretold he would die by pierced hands and feet and not by stoning. Did the jewish leaders know the scriptures? Did their wise men who considered themselves learned in the scriptures know that they were fulfilling scripture? I am sure they did not. But why didn't they stone him? Because they were afraid of the people. And instead they wanted the Romans to do the dirty work for them. But Jesus suffered only for a little while and now He has been the undisputed Master of the Universe for 2000 years and will be for all eternity. It's a lesson for us, that the suffering of our short life is only temporary, but forever we will rejoice in the kingdom of God. We'll get to fish in the millennium. Didn't Jesus help his disciples catch fish? And before he ascended to heaven he had a fish meal with 7 of them. One day I'll get my dream of catching a lunker. Maybe I'll land a whale. Ezekiel saw in his vision a fishermen's dream: "There will be a great many fish, because this water will flow there and turn the salt water fresh. As a result, everything will live wherever the river flows. Also, fishermen will gather along its banks from Engedi to Englaim, spreading their nets. All kinds of fish will be found there, like the fish of the Great Sea."

Dear Lost Diary

MARCH 28 2026  Dear Lost Diary

Comments related to yesterday's journal...Pop culture yeah. They used to pop a lot of culture back in the day. Largely prohibited means you won't be doing any anytime soon. All for best. Sometimes things improve magically in this wonderful universe we live in. I supposed TPTB had a reason for determining that substance needed to go away. Probably in favor of a better more financially feasible substance. The war on drugs has been going on forever. I read the headlines today about the big mass arrests in our state and it's always about drugs. Catching some kids with drugs. THC is legal now. It used to be a bad drug. I'm a believer that all a man needs to live is God's Spirit, air, and food. I used to be an addict to chemicals. It becomes a bondage like all sin. Like all evil it has evil side effects. I pray no one ever becomes an addict, but overall I'm a libertarian when it comes to chemicals. If people want to have a beer or smoke a weed, I think it's bad for their soul, but it's their right. If that's what gets them by and makes them happy, as long as they don't bother me, I could care less what substance they put in their body. The government doesn't feel that way. It's all about money you know. Mammon is their god, so pleasure is outlawed. In a way, I think it's probably a good thing because it helps people who would otherwise suffer from addiction suffer consequences that relieves them of the addiction. I know I was able to get free, but I give God the glory. Amen. And as a side note, the hypocrites running the world tell us you have a right to do what you want with your body, so women are allowed to kill babies. But if you want to feel good, it's against the law. Hypocrites. Deceivers. Liars. All of them are condemned to suffer the fire of hell. These people belong in a separate category of criminal. The ones who justify their actions using the sacred vehicle of the law. The law should our highest expression of good, right, and fair. Instead it's used to oppress and corrupt and crush. Sad is the man who judges another, for as he judges so shall he be judged. How can anyone believe a word these people say? Everything is a fake AI staged, scripted, movie event now. They don't even try to hide that everything they put out is propaganda, which is a nice word for lying. As the bible says, all liars will be cast into the lake of fire. So if you want the honest truth you need to read your bible and accept the forgiveness Jesus already paid and died for. You don't have to go where these liars are going. Lies make me sick. I reject their hypocrisy and their phony morality. When they cry over clubbing a baby seal, but use baby parts for cosmetic production, it's revolting to my soul. Hell was not created for man, but for the devil. An eternal criminal requires an eternal prison. Don't listen to the devil's lies! It will destroy your soul. You have the freedom to drink what you want and I have the freedom to think what I want. And if you don't like what I say you have the freedom to ignore me. How am I hurting others by expressing my point of view? The day will come when all the voices like mine who proclaim eternal salvation through Christ Jesus will be silenced and hated by all the nations. How do I know this? How can I see the future? Because I know what is written and what Jesus spoke will come to pass. What God says has to be. So I prepare my soul for the time to come and get what work I can get done while it is day for the night is coming. And if they ever manage to shut me up or shut me out, I'll be like the kid in the corner who was told by the teacher to sit down. On the inside I'll still be standing up.

Drugs are Bad

MARCH 27 2026 Drugs are Bad

From a lost diary of times past: “So after leaving Harry's we went back to Schofield's place and started pounding brews. My cooler was totally destroyed. A guy named Pete fell on it. He is a short dude with glasses and he loses all control when he's loaded. Ice and beer went everywhere. I took a picture. Later I went down to the EM Club and saw Moose and April. Mac was with me and Willis was there, too. I got April all pissed off. I really don't like her a whole lot and I enjoy aggravating her. She's supposed to go to the concert with us and she's working until 4:00. I hope we can leave earlier. We all closed down the place. Mac kept buying me beer until I was wasted. There was even a little fight at the Club. I got as close as I could hoping maybe I could get into it. I was gone. I crashed loaded. Sat-March 27- I woke up about 9:00, after going to Schofield's room and drinking a few leftover beers, Mac, Moose, Toad (Burgess), and I went to Grey's to see if he had any drugs. Burgess got some smoke and I bought 2 lemon714s. That's when we found out why Harry had been so passed out. Since they didn't have any other drugs I decided to try some of the quaaludes.”
“AI overview: Quaaludes (methaqualone) are a sedative-hypnotic medication that was widely prescribed in the mid-20th century, particularly under the brand names Quaalude and Sopor. Known for treating insomnia, the drug became popular for recreational misuse due to its sedative effects. It is now largely prohibited and associated with historical pop culture references.”

Dear Diary

MARCH 26 2026  Dear Diary

Found a diary. It's dated today from a long time ago. March 26 was a Friday that year. "I am now becoming a butterfly. I must only survive the darkness, coldness, and deadness of the cocoon. I will not even notice the changing of a glob into the form of a butterfly, until suddenly the light will stream through as my cocoon breaks and air will fill my wings. I will become truly aware of what I am and will spread my wings and fly. And fly and fly and fly and fly and fly....
Fri-The end of another week has finally arrived. I managed to get pretty totalled tonight in spite of the fact that I'm broke. I pulled about 10 minutes of extra duty tonight. Today we had the graduation for A Company. It was raining and cold and cloudy. The ceremony lasted about 50 minutes. A Company got the rest of the day off. We were on duty till 4:30, but nobody did {squat}. Tonight I took Schofield to the liquor store and he loaded up on brew. We started getting drunk and then Burgess and I went to Harry's to see if Puckett had any acid. We got there and Harry was the only one home. He was sitting in a chair passed out. We banged on the door, but he didn't move, so we tried the door and it was open so we went in. Harry was in stage 3 REM heavily. Later I found out he doing 2 lemon 714s. Someone had been there and left a note, so we did the same. Both notes were on Harry's chest. We locked the door behind us. Then I went to Schofield's and drank a few." ...and it goes on. As they say, some people are sicker than others, but Jesus came not for the healthy but for the sick. I believe this person got better. I bet he could write a book.

There it is

MARCH 25 2026  There it is

"Jesus is up in Heaven, waiting to come back. After he took the keys, he gave them to us. He wants us to use them to continue the work of God's Kingdom. A key is no good unless it is used. A key normally exists, because there is something which needs to be opened or closed. So as we go on our way throughout our life, we need to loose and bind in the name of Jesus and walk in faith and love, seizing every opportunity we have to advance his Kingdom. We are his ambassadors, his soldiers on the earth. He expects us to take what he has given us and use it to do his work.
Satan never rests from doing evil. He is the one who steals the seed of the word of God out of men's hearts, and he is the one who blinds them to the truth of the good news. Let us never give satan any rest. We have the keys which can undo and destroy his work. Let us put on the whole armor of God; the word, the Spirit, prayer, the message of salvation, the name of Jesus, and work to destroy and overthrow the kingdom of darkness. If we use the keys God has given to us, nothing shall be impossible unto us! Have faith in the infinite power of God, and speak his word with authority and faith, and creative power shall be loosed. When the worlds were made, God spoke and it was done. Now he has spoken this promise to us, showing us that if we speak, it shall be done. What are we waiting for? Speak to the mountain. Tell it to go. Speak against the fear, doubt, disease, weakness, and lack in your life, and watch them disappear. Words filled with faith are the keys to the future. Doors will open, doors will close, and in the end we shall receive whatever we say and believe. So shall satan be put to shame, and our God shall be exalted forever!
In a flash, the world was created out of nothing. It came straight out of the mind of God, and appeared in obedience to the words of his lips. As soon as he spoke, there it was."

It Just Isn't Fair

MARCH 24 2026  It Just Isn't Fair

"This guy has to be a nazi"

Nothing seems quite fair these days. Everyone is always crying about inequities. The mind of many is warped. Why do the rich get to have so much money and I'm just a broke fool? Marriage is unfair, hiring practices are unfair, life is unfair. It becomes more and more unfair as we become more of a lawless society. Order is enforced from the top down and anyone who desires to function in this society had best lay low when it comes to speaking out against the evils of society. I've watched people be destroyed because they spoke up or spoke out against homosexuality (Anita Bryant), against abortion (Randall Terry), against corruption (Pat Buchanan and Pat Robertson), and many more. Some have been assassinated for doing what's right. The masses of society in America are rather passive and generally follow the orders the TV gives them. That's the big shepherd of America. The mass media. People don't like looking stupid and so if all the smart people believe something they don't want to stand out and think for themselves and look stupid. Pride is what drives most people. The fear of being different or singled out. The few who have stood up boldly for right and truth have been crushed generally, because the masses do not support what's right or what's true. They support what's popular and pleasing to them. Like no fault marriage, like abortion on demand, like letting homosexuals run entertainment and politics. Someone decent could've been in charge, but people don't like decency anymore. They want corruption. But when it affects them then they cry. And wonder why. Why are things going so wrong for me today? There's a disconnect between actions and results that eludes people. They can't see the connection. The blind are leading the blind and both will fall into the ditch and they're dragging everyone else into the ditch with them. Whenever I do listen to what's happening in the world today and I have to listen to the politicians, you know the actors playing a role, and I have to listen to their lies and smooth words and know the opposite is what's going on, it makes me cringe. But I don't get mad anymore. I realize I am powerless as a flea in comparison to the Powers That Be. I mostly just ignore the world and the events around me and just pray and do what I can do to be ready for whatever may come. A guy like me never had a chance at a normal life, but God knows that and He has taken care of me, even when I did the wrong things. And as it is, I've had a better life than most people on this planet get to experience. It's been real. He is merciful and as Jesus said, if you lose your life for my sake you will save it. Nothing is this world is worth losing your head over, except for having Jesus as my Savior. Not having a real chance in life is one thing, but realizing that this world has always been corrupt helps me understand that God has always been our only help in a time of need. It will never be fair until God returns to balance the scales. If we try to take things into our own hands and try to set things right, we'll only end up hurting ourselves. Vengeance is the Lords. Best thing to do is what Jesus said to do. Spread the good news and let the Holy Spirit change whatever needs changing. I hope I can do my part.

Truth Shines On

MARCH 23 2026 Truth Shines On

Jesus said God's word would never pass away. We believe Jesus rose from the dead, and we have chosen to trust in the One who rose from the dead, before we trust anybody else. We don't believe in evolution, because Jesus doesn't believe in evolution. We believe Jesus is smarter than anybody else. If a man who preaches evolution dies and then rises again in three days as an immortal being with all power, then maybe we'll listen to what he has to say. Otherwise, until Jesus is proven wrong, we're going to trust what he says. Jesus living in us has given us all the evidence, all the proof, and all the knowledge we need to possess concerning anything. We have simply placed our trust in him who lives never to die again. He has promised to do for us what God did for him; to raise us up from the dead. This truth is all we need to know. We know Jesus, we know he lives, we know he can't die, we know he loves us, we know he is the truth, the way, and the life, and we know we believe in him.
It's people like us who have suffered at the hands of those who are opposed to Jesus. Those who reject God's word, always act in opposition to the word. It brings them pleasure to slander the Bible, to attempt to discredit the Bible, and to mock anyone who believes in the Bible. They feel much more comfortable pursuing their evil deeds when they believe the Bible is a worthless piece of paper, because everything the Bible stands for condemns their way of life. They hate the word, because the word exposes them for what they are. The word exposes their vile intents, purposes, and motives. It's not enough for evil men to just leave the word and those who believe in it alone; no, they have to do all they can to fight against both. Money, and the power and pleasure it brings, is the god of all those who hate the Creator and his word, regardless of what term they name their beliefs, it's all about money with the wicked doers.
As the Pharisees sought to kill Jesus because he threatened their power and position in society, so the wicked of this day strive to squash the truth. --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles"

Move the Mountain

MARCH 22 2026   Move the Mountain
If you have faith. Faith means you know. Faith doesn't mean you wish. Faith is you know. I know Jesus rose from the dead. I have faith. I know. I don't wish that he rose from the dead. Hope means you know also. Faith brings hope. Faith knows before seeing. Hope means your faith tells you what will happen. You know the future. I wear glasses. I don't have faith or hope that one day I'll not wear glasses in order to see 20/20, because I'm not sure. I don't know. What I do know is that the God who created all things could give me a new set of eyes that could see 20/20 if he wanted to or if he deemed it his will. I believe, my belief or my opinion based on what I trust to be the truth is that God's perfect will for my life was for me to have perfect eyes until I died. But I never lived up to God's perfect will and when I was in high school, my eyes changed. I lost my 20/20 vision. And ever since I've worn corrective lenses of some type, after I wandered around the world with less than 20/20 vision for a couple years, because I trusted God would heal my eyes. I thought I knew he would. I thought I had faith. But I guess deep down I never really believed. My faith was just wishing. My understanding of the word hope as we have it described in the word of God is that hope means we know it's going to happen. We don't wish, we know. So faith is now, hope is future. I know when I get to heaven, my hope is that when I get to heaven I'll have 20/20 vision again. I'll see like the hawk. This is my hope; meaning that I don't wish it'll happen but I know in time it will happen. I know it will. I have this hope. For now I can see just fine whenever I have my glasses on. I can do everything I need to do in life with the aid of glasses. Thank God for wise men who know how to correct vision and who produce products that aid us. Hallelujah! I hope they all go to Heaven too! The kind of faith that moves mountains is the kind that knows the mountain has already moved. It's a done deal. I believe this faith comes only from God himself. He has placed a measure of this faith in my heart, but I'm not fully convinced that everything God wants to do for me I am up to receive. Because some things depend on the plan and purposes of God, and some things depend on me. Elijah went to heaven in a whirlwind, and Enoch was translated and never saw death, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go like that. I may go like David laying in my bed, or I may go like Zacharias who died between the temple and the altar. It depends on the plan. I have faith in the plan. So I accept and follow the plan. Whatever it involves. If God says jump, I ask how high not why. This is what faith means to me. Do you have faith?

First Day of Spring

MARCH 21 2026

First Day of Spring

Call it the Mandela Effect or whatever you want to call it. But when I was growing up and far into adulthood, seasons always, always, always started on the 21st. Spring was March 21st, summer June 21st, fall September 21st, winter December 21st. Now our calendars change it to whatever day the solstice falls on which changes from year to year. I still call today the 21st the 1st day of spring. I don't care when the solstice was. I know when spring started. Loneliness is a real feeling. It has power. Depression, sadness, sorrow, frustration, anger all these negative emotions. I've suffered from loneliness and depression and sadness and sorrow and anger and hopelessness, the worst of them all. Hopelessness that my life will always be miserable and never change. It will never get better. I've been divorced for decades now and have lived alone all that time, but today I don't feel lonely, I'm just alone. But as Jesus said, I'm never alone because he is always with me. The Father. He will never leave me and he will never forsake me. It took me a while after my divorce to accept living alone again and I have experienced periods of loneliness, but I can honestly say today I don't feel that way. I am happy living alone. I like doing my own thing whenever I want, whatever I want, with whoever I want which is mainly just by myself. I saw 10 people on my walk today. Only 1 said hello. People just grimace or frown and walk on by doing their best to act as if you're not there. I won't go into how this is so much different from the way I grew up and how people acted, but it's different. I think people, and all of them were younger than me, tend to fall into 2 categories these days. Either they're simply miserable or they are selfish, narcissistic, or lack empathy. Time after time after time when I run into strangers I try to imagine that there's some kindness left in them, but usually they demonstrate that they have very little inside them and therefore have none to give. It's just a sign of the times. Common courtesy is uncommon now. I will continue to live my life to the best of my ability and forgive those who sin against me. Maybe I'm not the only one who suffered from loneliness and depression when I was younger. There was a time I didn't even like being around people. I don't mind being around people now, but I only go around people who I want to be around. Thankfully, I'm retired and don't have to spend all week with people I'd rather not be around. One of the benefits of getting older. The love of the many has grown into hate, but one day soon the earth will be flooded with the love of God and then all that misery and loneliness will be dispelled from mankind. Enjoy the spring showers that bring May flowers.

Chuck Norris Transcended

MARCH 20 2026 Chuck Norris Transcended

Chuck Norris passed away from this earthly plane into a higher plane of existence yesterday. He was admitted to the Wilcox Medical Center in Lihue, Kauai just after his 86th birthday during a medical emergency and he left this planet. I admired the man. He was no John Wayne, but he was one of the good guys. Loved America and came to Jesus toward the latter years of his life. I'll miss the memes but they'll live on forever. One of the memes now is that The Grim Reaper passed away and Chuck left to take his place. That was Chuck Norris. An American icon. He was sparring with a trainer the day of his 86th birthday, so he was still in good shape. God just said it was time to remove the last soldier before the antichrist appears. He doesn't need to see that or he'd box his ears. I hope he and Jesus are mixing it up in Heaven right now. That would be a good fight but we know there's one person even Chuck couldn't beat. God bless Chuck Norris and God bless America. What's left when this battle is over we'll rebuild in the name of the Lord and in the millennium, Chuck will get to resurrect just before I do. The dead in Christ will rise first. And we'll rebuild this beautiful country of ours and it'll be like nothing that's ever been seen before. Jesus told us it's hard for the rich to be saved, but nothing's impossible with God and Chuck's an exception to the rule.

Comfort Ever Present

MARCH 19 2026  Comfort Ever Present
The only one who never changes is the Lord. Heb 13:7-8
   Jesus is the rock when your life is shaky. He is the peaceful harbor when you are at your wit's end. He is your righteousness when the accuser hurls accusations at you. He is your mother when no one else cares for you. He is your father when you are destitute and helpless. He is your brother when no one else understands you. He is your sister when you have no one else to talk to. He is your friend when all others have forsaken you. He is your banker when you are down to your last dime. He is your motivator when you are tired of trying. He is your ambition when you see nothing worth striving for. He is your life when you don't feel like living. He is your strength when you can't even lift up your head. He is your joy in the midst of pain and agony. He is your protector when enemies surround you like a pack of wolves. He is your one and only hope in the face of disaster. He is your last chance when it looks like you don't have a chance. He is your priceless treasure when all else is gone. He is your deliverer in the midst of bondage. He is your bondsman when the prison doors slam in your face. He is your guide when you have lost your way. He is your peace when death comes to fasten itself upon your body. He is your healer when disease has paralyzed you in its' sickening grip. He is your bright light when the darkness of depression threatens to overwhelm you. He is the pill for all your hurts and wounds. He is the wine that makes you see a happy new reality. He is the drug that makes you love everybody. He is the high your spirit and soul have always sought for. He is the love you have always longed for. He is the supplier of everything you lack. He is your provider when poverty strikes the land. He is on your side even when you fight against his best for you. He is your sanity when fear grips your heart. He is the keeper of your soul when your faith is weak. He is good to you when you don't know what's good for you. He is your comfort when you're feeling trapped in your mortal body, and you feel constrained by space and time, and you can't seem to escape your own hopeless condition. He is everything. --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Reality"

Priceless

 MARCH 18 2026  Priceless

How priceless is the word of God! First and foremost, we should desire his word. Knowledge of God's word ought to be the first priority of every nation and every person. The Lord created a nation based on the fact that they would carry his word to the whole earth. He chose a man to father this nation, because he knew this man would cherish his word: "For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord" (Gen 18:19). Through this nation God gave the promise of a Savior who would come to save all mankind. God blessed this nation, favored this nation, and protected this nation. Why were the children of Abraham given these blessings? Because of the word, "To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God" (Rom 3:2). God considers it a great advantage to be entrusted with his word. This shows the value he places upon his own word.
How valuable has the word of God been in the eyes of the children of God? When believers first began the work of spreading the good news of Jesus to every nation, they suffered intensely. Rome persecuted them and sought to destroy them. Believers were chased and hunted, tortured and harassed, giving their very lives to carry the word of God to others. For thousands of years believers have suffered, and they still suffer today. But the word of God is the one thing believers of every generation have been willing to die for, in order to pass this word onto the generations of believers who were to come. Every generation has seen its' martyrs and yet the word of God has prevailed.
The history of the spread of God's word, both written and preached, is a story of the miraculous power of a living God.

My late brother and I are part Irish. We had a very catholic Irish gramma who was very proud of her ancestry. We have a written family genealogy going back to the 1700's, when a certain Miss Elizabeth emmigrated from England to Ireland. Our ancestors share a name that is related to a very famous poet/writer from Ireland, who is also part of our heritage. His tower still stands today and is a popular tourist destination. I've seen it. My brother is up there right now with Saint Patrick, enjoying a good corned beef and cabbage feast in heaven and I hope our writer cousin is with them.
When my brother was dying I thought about the time we went to Canada together when we were both in high school and had just gotten our driver's licenses. Our parents were divorced, Mark was living with gramma, I was living with my Mother, and Dad was in Europe working. For family vacations we had gone north on numerous occasions and so my brother suggested to gramma that he and I were able to go to Canada fishing on our own, and surprisingly they let us go. We spent two whole weeks together just my brother and I traveling, camping, fishing, canoeing and talking. We would never again spend that much time together. In fact, I never again spent more than a day with my brother at a time after that. With one exception. Many years later when his boys were young, he came and spent a couple nights visiting me in Arizona, where I was working. When he was dying I asked myself why we didn't spend more time together. But what with work, and family, and responsibilities, he and I never took the time to get together. It was my one regret when he passed away that I didn't insist we get together more often. This Saint Patrick's Day I remember the time we spent together and I'll have some corned beef in his memory. Don't die or let others die leaving regrets. You'll never get back the time you have now. Live it fully. And I'll leave us all with my favorite Irish blessing:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

Just Another Man

MARCH 16 2026 Just Another Man
   Who was Joseph, if not just another man? And not even a man, but a mere child. Yet he had dreams. Where did those dreams come from? Did Joseph see the future under his own inspiration? Or was God with him? Did Joseph have an easy life? Was he given any special favor or advantage? Wasn't he persecuted, tormented, envied, hated, despised, afflicted, wrongly accused, rejected, forsaken, forgotten, and imprisoned? But God was with him. Joseph had the faith of his fathers. He trusted in God, in spite of his limitations and setbacks and sufferings. Who was Joseph, but a man who knew what God could do?
   The Lord has no favorite children. He shows no partiality. He will do for you what he has done for others. Solomon was only a man, and he asked for wisdom, and God gave it to him. You can have the wisdom of Solomon and Daniel combined. You can endure any suffering, and still have the joy of Paul and the apostles. Your life can be beautified with love all the time, if your trust is in him. You can have the strength of Samson, the patience of Joseph and Job, the faith of Abraham, the song of David, the courage of Caleb, the success of Joshua, the leadership of Moses, the prosperity of Isaac, the power of Elijah, the determination of Ruth, the boldness of Peter, and time would fail to tell of all that God could do for you, if you simply had the faith to ask. Why would God reveal these things to the prophets, if he didn't want us to have them? Why would he have shown us what is to come, if he didn't want us to know what awaits us in the future? Why don't you take the joy and gladness God offers to those who trust in him? Learn the secret of faith, and take the limit off of what God can do for you.

Dream Accomplished

MARCH 15 2026  Dream Accomplished
Jesus fulfilled the vision of the prophets and he shall fulfill the dreams of all the saints of all the ages. When our King returns to personally oversee the government of the earth, we shall sit with him on thrones of splendor. A thousand years in his Kingdom will only be the first of all the rewards to be given to the followers of Christ. This is good news. This is our hope. This is our victory.
    Our soul has been set free. Sin is no more our master. We walk by faith and not by sight. What the word says we are, is what we are, and this we will always be. He said we are free, therefore we are free. He said we have the victory, therefore we have the victory. He is the Rock upon which all truth is founded. His word has gone forth, and nothing can stop his word. So long as his word is in our mouth, no enemy can triumph over us. The Lion of Judah can roar through our lips when it is his words we speak, and the enemies of hate, lust, and fear tremble at the sound of his voice. Through his word others may be set free and find deliverance also, for in Jesus is all power. We walk, live, breathe, talk, see, hear, feel, know and understand by faith, not by sight. We know we are free and have the victory, but we feel it, live it, breathe it only by the light of his word. His word is a force incapable of being overruled by any other force in all creation. God is all-powerful and true to his word. This is the Rock upon which our faith is built. His word should be our constant confession. Jesus continually confessed who he was, where he came from, where he was going, and who sent him. He confessed with his mouth the truth he heard from God, for he believed in his heart that God could not lie. The bold confession of our faith is the key which makes our faith a reality, so say of the Lord whatever he says to say. --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles"

In The Zone

MARCH 14 2026   In The Zone

March madness is upon us. I used to play basketball all the time with my friends when we were growing up. I remember how I would get in the zone and the baskets would fall with ease. Have you ever been in the zone? When whatever you were doing seemed easy and much more enjoyable? I have. There are moments when the light shines upon us and everything is a breeze. The words come effortlessly and the thoughts become untroubled and the things we do feel like we were born to do them and the people we're with feel like a long lost soulmate and everything is free and easy. We can witness this especially in sports sometimes, when those who make a living as professional athletes suddenly get in the flow and they perform at a higher level. It's almost magical to watch. I've seen it happen many times. A baseball player will have a game where he hits everything thrown at him. A basketball player will make almost every basket. A golfer will hit all his shots. And so on. It's like that in life sometimes too. I've had good days and bad days. But there was something about being a child that made life seem easy. I've spent my entire adult life trying to capture or recapture that feeling I had as a child. It's not easy to describe and it's not easy to explain just what made those years seem amazing. I just know I was happy, and most every single day was a good day. Since I became less than that person, it seems like every day is a struggle or a challenge or has it's ups and downs but I can honestly say I've only had a few days where I felt like the world was all right. I know the moment everything changed for me. It was the day I discovered what the birds and the bees were all about. I was in 6th grade and after this discovery I spent each and every day longing for something that has only been satisfied on rare occasions. Once you have knowledge of a certain kind there's no going back. There's no erasing the effect of that knowledge. It's like once you learn to tie your shoe. Has anyone ever forgotten how to tie their shoe? I mean barring brain damage I don't think so. What I see as one of the greatest evils in the world today is that children are exposed to so much they're not allowed to be an innocent child anymore. Yes I was 12 years old, which isn't very old really, but at least I had 12 years. I mean it hadn't been very long before I discovered where babies came from, that I still believed in the man in the red suit. Ho ho ho. But there's a world coming where our minds shall be renewed in the image of him who made us. We will forget all the cares of this body, of this flesh and we will become like the angels. And I won't have to work and I won't have to worry and I will be a child again. Forever young. Forever free. I'll be in the zone.

Forbidden Fruit

MARCH 13 2026   Forbidden Fruit

Have you ever heard the phrase, "put the screws" to someone? It comes from olden times when people would be tortured or punished by a tool that squeezed a part of their body by turning a screw. I have the feeling that we're living in the day and time when the People In Charge or Powers That Be (PTB) are putting the screws to the rest of us. They're screwing us, in the manner in which we often hear the more vulgar phrase which derives from sensual imagery, meaning we're getting the short end of the stick. We have a lot of phrases come to think of it for people mistreating other people or things occurring that are unpleasant or unwanted circumstances in our lives. Do I need to remind you what is written about the actions of mankind? Well here goes. Let's start with Jesus, "For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, lying, railings, slander, blasphemy." Romans lists these, "So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations 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. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too." Titus stated, " we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another." Ephesians says, "They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity." And in the prophets it says, "the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. There is none righteous, no not one." So I ask, if everyone acts this way is it any wonder God allows the beasts that rule over us to treat us as sheep to be slaughtered? How instead are we supposed to act? In love as I Corinthians 13 describes, "Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening]. Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]."

But since we live in the times Jesus warned about when sin would abound causing the love of men to grow cold, there is little patience, or kindness, or humility, but rudeness and lies and deceit and jealousy and envy and anger and pride and lack of faith. Let's not look to the world to save us. There's only one Savior. Turn your eyes upon Jesus and put the screws to the devil and reject his lies and avoid hell. He will be enraged if you escape hell and go to heaven. I am glad Jesus set me free. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit. 

Greed and Envy

MARCH 12 2026  Greed and Envy

Matthew records Jesus as saying: "It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the everlasting fire...there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it...it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God."

Jesus said if your hand offends you cut it off. You don't need two hands to get into heaven. So if it offends you to the point that it's taking you to hell, what good will both hands do you in hell? So we need to cut off the things in our life that hinder us from serving God. And if God wants to cut things out of my life that make me look like a cripple, then I accept his will because I'd rather serve God with one hand than do my own will with both hands and go to hell because of my sin. I accept God's will today. He can cut what he wants out of my life, because it's better if a man not marry and it's better if a man has nothing, then if a man has all the strength of Ulysses and all the money of Midas and all the women of a Sultan and yet loses it all when he dies and then ends up in everlasting punishment. It's better to serve God and let go of all earthly possessions and passions and inherit eternal bliss with the Father forever. That's the parable of the hand, of marriage, and of riches. Weigh the world's goods all in the balance and it's lighter than a feather compared to the vast riches of eternal life. What does a man gain if he has everything in the world yet dies and spends eternity in hell? Why are we always so jealous of the rich? Covetousness and lust are going to destroy this generation and in the end everything will pass away. Better enjoy it while you can. And be prepared to meet your Maker. There's nothing wrong with riches and pleasures, but seek first the kingdom of God and then all these things will be added to you. Just don't lose your soul over material wealth and sensual pleasures. Trust God and let him cut the loose ends out of your heart and life. Live to glorify God, not to look cool to your peers.

Legalized Adultery is NOT Marriage

MARCH 11 2026 Legalized Adultery is NOT Marriage

If you leave your spouse for any other reason than adultery, you yourself are committing adultery and you cause your spouse to do the same. It's like this. If a spouse commits adultery then they've broken the vow and the bonds of holy matrimony and in that case the wronged spouse is no longer under moral obligation to maintain their commitment to stay solely devoted to the adulterous spouse and is free to remarry another. That's the bible definition of marriage. Jesus said, the express image of the Father God Creator said, A man should leave his mother and father and marry his wife by cleaving to her and her only. He is no longer under obligation to support either his mother or father or to rely on their support. He is to support and cherish his wife and provide for her well being and the well being of the family. And Jesus said, what God has joined together, let not man put asunder. A wife is bound by the law of God to her husband until his death and a man is bound by his oath and the commandment of God to his wife until she dies. That's marriage. Not what we have today. What we have today is NOT marriage, no matter what it's called. It is not marriage. It's something else entirely. The laws of the land that require people to sign legal papers in order to be legally or governmentally considered to be married, is not the same as biblical marriage. And it's too late for it ever to be fixed. It never will be fixed. These laws never will be reversed. Mankind will never honor God or his law or his word. And mankind will perish. Every last breathing soul would perish, were it not for the fact that the Creator will never allow it to happen. Mankind would disobey God's laws to the point where they themselves would slaughter themselves and annihilate all living beings. Fortunately for us, God has another plan. He will preserve a remnant until the Last Day. On the Last Day it will be the last and final day that mankind has any authority over this planet. Man's authority will be usurped by God's authority. But man will still rule. Only we will rule and reign under the authority given to us by him. Because you see he made a vow, a promise, a bond, a covenant. And God doesn't break his vows. He joined us to himself through the promise of eternal life in his Son. He will reign forever, but he has promised to reign through us. We are kings, we are priests, we are rulers, we are his bride. Then marriage will be reinstated and be what it was intended to be. And the abominable and perverse laws of mankind will be erased from the memory of history forever. For all infinity unto eternity. And those who have broken God's laws will suffer eternal punishment whilst we enjoy the blessings of those who were washed in the blood of the Lamb. Our joy will never end and evil will be no more.

Oklahoma is OK

MARCH 10 2026  Oklahoma is OK
I dreamed Oklahoma won the championship. In the dream I thought it was the college football championship, but when I woke up and I was thinking about the dream I said, "well Indiana won the championship this year and so it can't be the football championship. March madness is upon us. Maybe Oklahoma will win the basketball tournament". Or maybe they'll win the college football championship next year. But anyway, maybe it's just a dream that Oklahoma won the championship, but that's the dream.
--excerpt from my book "Kingdom Reality"--

"For the Kingdom of God is the place where dreams come to be. There is a place where dreams come true and anything is possible. This place exists, but it is not found on earth, so cease looking where it cannot be found. Jesus told us it exists, for he said to seek God's Kingdom. He would not have told us to look for something which doesn't exist. He said seek and you will find. It can be found, but not where you can see it with your eyes. He said the Kingdom of God is within you. It exists in the spirit, in the heart of all believers. It is the place where God's love dwells. There everyone knows the love of God. Everyone loves God and everyone loves each other. This is the place that has always existed and will always exist. It has never changed. It has been the same since before the creation and after the creation, since before the fall and after the fall, since before today and after today. God's love remains always the same.
Men have sought for it on earth and have not found it. They have called it many names: Avalon, Valhalla, El Dorado, and many more. Though they have dreamed of these places, they did not follow Jesus' advice and seek for the Kingdom of God which dwells only in human hearts. This is the place where no lack is found, for every want and need is already supplied. There is no sickness here, there is no death here, there are no burdens to bear here, there are no worries or care here, there are no sorrows to share here, for everything is perfect beauty and rest in the place of dreams come to be. Every desire of the human heart is met here. This is the Kingdom Jesus told us to find, and he told us how to find it and where it is. Yes, this Kingdom exists, but no one looking for it on the earth will ever find it. Not yet.
Someday. Someday the place where dreams come to be will exist here upon the earth, for God will dwell with man."

When will someday get here? 

Santa is Coming

MARCH 9 2026 Santa is Coming

(Continued from March 6) Imagine having the faith to believe for anything. Especially the Santa Claus kind of faith. We behaved because we knew Santa was coming to town and we were good because we knew he gave the best presents to all the good girls and boys. Imagine that kind of faith. Where it moved you to action and made you see only good in the world. I had that once. It's why my adult life has been mainly depressing, discouraging, difficult, and disappointing. Once the world no longer held it's charm I was baffled. I didn't wake up with the expectation of miracles every day. I realized there was no magic in the world and anything I got I was going to have to work for. The reason believers long for and look forward to the coming of the Lord is because we know it'll be all over. Why shouldn't we long to see our best friend take control of the planet? All fear is gone. All trepidation is gone. The difference between Santa Claus and Jesus is that Jesus rose from the dead. Ole Saint Nick is still in the grave. He's just a legend now. Jesus could go around dropping off presents for everyone in the world and we could all wake up one morning to find all our hearts desires wrapped up in a bow, but he won't. He could but he won't. That's not how life works. That's not how God works. God established laws and he expects us to follow those laws and he said if we do, then we'll have what we need and what we want. Because it says those who delight in the Lord will be granted the desire of their heart. And those who delight in the Lord only desire to spend eternity with Jesus. Wish granted!

Universal Substance

MARCH 8 2026   Universal Substance

I had a dream the other night in which I was explaining to 2 other men how the universe works and how it was made. In the dream I could feel or sense how God created the universe to exist out of various molecular based material and as I stood there explaining to the the 2 men how things worked I could sense the power of God flowing through me as though I had his creative energy flowing through me and the men looked on in amazement. One man had dark hair and light skin and I can't remember what the other individual looked like. Perhaps he was older? I can see the one but not the other, and in front of me as we stood in this open space as though we were in a park or a square or a college university quad or main campus. I don't know why I think this but that's what I feel. As I stood there I could see like wisps of smoke forming rectangular or square formations and they were joined to each other, these formations of smoke or dust or particles, like particles of matter and they were flowing or alive it's hard to describe, but I could pass my hands through these materials and I could see and feel them but whenever I passed my hands through them they disappeared, like I absorbed them into my hands, my body and I could feel their energy and God was showing me how he created things and I could understand it. It was a pretty amazing dream and I wish I could know this knowledge flowing through me in real life. But the power of God is real and I can feel it.

Feelings

 MARCH 7 2026 Feelings 

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.
    For the believer his body is a shell, a temporary home which roams the earth, but the real life of a believer is in Heaven with Jesus. That's where his spirit dwells. That's where his real life is lived. The body of a believer will only walk upon this earth for a short time. The body of a believer is his earth suit, just as astronauts have a space suit. When astronauts come back to earth, they shed their suit. When a believer leaves earth, he sheds his suit. Earth is just a place to do the work of God, to witness, to pray, to tell others, to grow in grace, and to fulfill his destiny. --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles"

Santa Claus Comes

MARCH 6 2026 Santa Claus Comes

Have you heard of Santa Claus? My brother and I would anxiously wait for him to arrive every Christmas Eve and the anticipation was exciting. We would start dreaming of his coming as soon as Thanksgiving was over. And our excitement would rise with each passing day, culminating in the anticipation that held us anxious and restless, but knowing that if we didn't go to sleep on Christmas Eve he wouldn't come. So we forced ourselves to fall asleep. I was a believer and so was my brother. Our innocent childhood was a wondrous time. Of course there were those doubters at school who didn't believe and of course our answer was, "well he doesn't go to the houses of those who don't believe in him. That's why you never saw him." Everyone of importance assured us of his existence. It was a wonderful time of life. Growing up, sheltered from the harsh realities of the world around me. Like I said, I was a believer. And the only portal to the outside world other than the world immediately around me, was the TV. And nothing or no one on the TV said otherwise. In fact, the TV reinforced my belief. While we waited for Christmas we would spend hours pouring over the latest catalogs full of toys of every kind and our imagination would run wild. We would make out our wish list and write our letter. Once I remember we left cookies and milk for the jolly old man, which was partially gone the next morning when we arose that Christmas morning. The universe was a truly amazing place to me during those years, where such a man existed who had the magical power to appear in every home of every girl and boy all over the world and where time was suspended for a single night and he was able to leave presents at each home and still have time to park his sleigh again at the North Pole before the sun rose on Christmas Day. Can you imagine what a wonderful world that was where such miracles took place? Where time and space was no obstacle to those with hearts to believe. Where anything, yes even the impossible, was possible. What a dream that was to live during those years. Nothing hindered me from believing that anything was possible for me to achieve in my lifetime. I truly believed I could do anything and be anyone I wanted to be. Well, well, well. ...To be continued.

In the Year 2525

MARCH 5 2026  In the Year 2525
The earth and the glory thereof is slowly fading. We can see it happening before our eyes. The earth is getting older. There is a time limit on our planet and the universe. Assuming the coming of the Lord is absolutely positively going to occur before the year 2100, that is within this century, probably within the next 2 decades, then the final age of the earth prior to the creation of the new heaven and new earth will be around the year 3100. Funny how we started our calendars after the death of the Savior, isn't it? Other cultures have preserved calendars according to their history, and this is the year 5786 according to the Hebrew calendar and year 4723 by the Chinese calendar. If we dated the coming of the Lord and the beginning of the millennial reign (thousand year reign) to be on the year 2070, then we mark the creation of the new earth and new universe to take place around the Hebrew year 6830, or almost the year 7000. Which in my belief is fairly accurate in how long mankind will have existed on this planet and matches nicely with the notion that God created the earth to be inhabited for 7000 years, a thousand years for each day of creation. Not that any of that is scriptural, but just seems neat. My late brother wrote a very interesting book about the time of the universe or more precisely, the time that man appeared on this planet and it is much less time than the scientists would affirm, but it coincides with the biblical record of man's creation. Of course we were programmed by government indoctrination that the earth and mankind have been here for millions of eons and yet they have no proof of any of this. It is pure conjecture. They attempt to prove it by their dating methods but these are just false narratives to promote their antichristian and atheistic propaganda, to blind people's eyes to the truth and so much more that is actually truth is being hidden from the eyes of the majority of mankind.

Science is the new religion. It promotes things that are fantastical based on the notion that there is a priestly class of people who are much, much smarter than the rest of us so we should just take their word for the fact that what they say is true. Although any of us can look around and see that most of what they say is absolute nonsense. Anyway, what I wanted to say is that the earth is fading. It's getting older. Just from being around a few decades on this planet, I can tell it's dying. It's suffering from all the pollution and poison being put into the air constantly by the Powers That Be. We're being sprayed like bugs, like the pests that they think we are. In addition to the air, the food and water is also being polluted and poisoned. God is a merciful Creator and does not want to destroy mankind, as he once did with a flood. But when the evil of man reaches satanic proportions, God will remove everything that hinders his Kingdom from growing. You see, God is by no means done with mankind yet. But in order to fulfill his plan for his kingdom, he has to remove the current corruption. Then the reign of the kingdom of God will be free to enjoy unprecedented blessings which those elect who are alive during this time will be able to enjoy. God will demonstrate to all creation just what he can do when his people are in charge. And it will be beyond the imagination of mankind. Imagine a cluster of grapes that is so large it has to be carried on a pole between two strong men, or a forest so rich in honey that you will be stepping on it. These things have already happened. So what's in store for the elect next?
