What Have We Learned?

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:1-21 (and the rest)
God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Numbers 23:19 NIV
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord's people. 1 Corinthians 14:23 NIV
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. Hebrews 6:10 NIV
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
In the beginning, God created all that was ever created and without Him, nothing was created. He created--took nothing and made something out of it. Man "invents" using what already is to change it into something else. God is not a man that He should lie, Man lies. God is not the author of confusion and chaos--Man is. God is not unjust--Man is fickle and justice is not equal for all when man makes decisions. All of God's promises are, "Yes and Amen." Man's promises waffle betwixt and between roller coaster emotions and constantly changing societal acceptances.

There is a difference between the God of Heaven and the god of this world for the god of this world--the arch enemy of God-- has created nothing but chaos and confusion in the minds of the weak and gullible.

When we know how God functions--from the beginning to this very moment--we know without doubt that He would not "choose" absurdity over wisdom and knowledge. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."Proverbs 1:7  "Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you." Proverbs 4:5-8 NIV  God creates, Satan destroys!

Until the gullible cease to say, "God chose Trump to be president" or "God elected him," I will continue to dispute it with everything in me, according to The Word of God.

God--not human--has no need for those things humans involve themselves--like "elections." When the Children of Israel cried for a king, God allowed them to choose--though He spoke to prophet-Samuel and had Samuel anoint David--the people still had to choose. And when we look at the history of the kings who ruled--sometimes those choices were not good ones and the kings were evil and committed all sorts of debauchery and wickedness.

As stated before and is being stated by many--this futile rhetoric about God choosing Trump--is driving more people away from God and church than drawing them to God. God doesn't have a problem with us making mistakes, but when we don't learn from the mistake and keep perpetuating it, then that's a problem and God will allow us to wallow in the consequences of our choices.

Now, what have we learned?

Proof We Follow God, Not Man!

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Ephesians 5:1-17 NIV
ATTENTION: PSEUDO-CHRISTIANS LYING TO PEOPLE

Yes, I'm talking to every one of them who lied from the beginning and are still lying. I'm talking to all those who "cherry-picked" passages of scripture, lifted out of context to support their talking points--why God chose Trump! Liars! Every one of them and within this passage of scripture along with many others--is the proof. God has never told us to follow a man or a woman who is not like Him. He never told us to, "Follow and obey someone while He's getting them prepared to follow Him." That's a lie from the pit of hell that Satan contrived and the sooner people realize it; the sooner they'll come out from the spell of the orange clown and the rats scurrying in the White House.  Yes, I know I've used the same phrase before, but when I think about what's going on in the White House, I vividly see rats scurrying around, bumping into walls, and other people not knowing what they're doing or how to get it done.

I've actually seen trained mice navigate a maze better than what I see coming out of the White House.

From the alternate facts to the blatant lies--they prove daily they don't have a clue and while they're trying to figure it out--our rabid GOP Congress is trying to push through legislation (out of guilt or collusion) that will only be the downfall of the nation, panting while they wait for the clown to sign-off on whatever is put in front of him--for he does not and cannot read with any degree of intelligent comprehension.  If he could, he never would have signed an EO placing Bannon (the real president) on the National Security Council since he--like all the rest--have no qualifications to do much of anything when it comes to governance.

Now, ask me if I care about what some readers will think of what I say. I don't--and I won't because none of my readers has a heaven or hell for me. The only person I have to answer to is God and I have already demonstrated in His Word that it is my obligation and all True Believers' obligation to expose the hidden things and bring them into the light.

Love--true love--that is with dissemination--leads us into obedience to God and to know how to rightly interpret all He is saying to us. We are to have "nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." All the "secret things" being done under the guise of "governing" are being exposed and those in White House are so terrified of truth being revealed that they're checking cell phones to make sure none of the staffers are "leaking secrets." Here's the thing--since what goes on in the White House should be transparent--how are there leaks?

What the clown company has forgotten is that the White House belongs to The People--those who pay taxes (and drumpf should not even be living there since he pays no taxes); the president--any real one would know--works for The People since it is our tax dollars who pay him (and for all their foolishness which from what I've researched has already cost us over 10 million dollars--in less than a month), and there should always be transparency--a clear view of what goes in the house the people pay for--unless it's a matter of national security.

They are so scared they've running around trying to seduce others into getting the media to squash the story of the Russia connection between drumpf and Putin. Imagine that--trying to cover up all their wrong-doing so it won't be exposed that he's not the legitimate president after all--which is what I've been saying for months now.

The truth will be revealed and then all the pseudo-christians will have to explain why God chose such an imbecile to lead this country into the ground--just to have a say so in the Supreme Court appointment and in keeping their guns (which I find nowhere in the Bible). In fact, what God does say through Paul is that the, "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (man-made), but mighty in the pulling down of strongholds (spiritually)."For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. " 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NIV

At any rate, people will believe what they want to believe and follow who they want to follow, but as for me and my house--we will follow The Lord and love as He commands, defending the rights of the poor and the needy, always exposing dark deeds, and bringing them to the light of truth.

If you can't handle truth--as God determines truth--you really can't handle reading what I write for the benefit of all those who have been lied to for the sake of a political election and the destruction of a nation by those who don't know God!

Let The Lord Lead!

Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament. Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong; you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest. But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple. Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me. Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.  Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. Psalm 5 NIV
Is the Lord leading our already great nation? Too many (without express guidance from God) are saying that God is using Trump to bring people back to Him! Does God need to use deceitful tactics to bring awareness of who He is? Does God need to take "choice" from us to bring people to Him?

If that was the plan (and I sincerely doubt it), it's not working. More people are turning away from those bastions of religious ardor than ever before. In fact, the attitude of a number of people is borderline hatred for anyone claiming to be a Christian. I was told that I couldn't be a Democrat and a Christian. When I asked the person who said this, "why not" they responded by saying Democrats don't believe in the bible.

NEWSFLASH! From what I see of Republican behavior, they are the ones who don't believe in the Bible. Oh sure, they "select" a few talking points to justify what they do, but the bible should not be used for talking points, but righteous living before God. If a person spewing forth cherry-picked scriptures are not living The Word, what they say means absolutely nothing. They are not letting The Lord lead them anywhere other than to "seize opportunities to control the masses," just like the Pharisees.

The more I talk to Believing Christians (not the pseudo-Christians--who profess a form of godliness, but know not God), the more I realize that people are running from those who claim to be Christians but don't want to love others.

Let me see if I can make a case what I see and believe (based upon The Word). The first thing I look at in The Word is knowing what I'm supposed to do--Love God and love others.  God gives each of us the right to choose what we do and He honors our choices--and leaves us to receive the consequences of our choices--good or bad. This is why I am Pro-Choice (which does not mean I am pro-abortion as some are saying--promoting the lie that a person cannot be pro-choice and a Christian).

According to The Word--Christians are to defend the rights of the poor and the needy, those who are vulnerable and don't have a platform to fight for themselves. I have been involved with non-profits and in volunteering for many years--making sure the rights of others are not trampled and that they have access to what they need. This is the Christian walk--always considering the needs of others above self. Do we see that from Republicans or the rats scurrying around the White House?

Do I love God? More than life itself and have enjoyed serving Him. If He called me home right now, I would not be concerned about His final words to me for I know, I'll hear, "Well done."

How do I know this? I say what God says and do what He tells me to do. When I allow Him to lead, I cannot go wrong. Does He always take the road I'd like to take? No, and I often wonder why I can't go the way I want to go. I can--He doesn't force us to do anything nor does He make choices for us. He has planned our lives (Jeremiah 23:11) and if we want to obtain what He has planned, we must believe Him and follow His directions, not man's.

How about loving others? Not a problem--I know how to love because of the love He pours into my heart--unconditionally, even the unlovable. That doesn't mean that I like what others do or condone lifestyles that are not of God. I discovered a long time ago that we encourage people to come to Christ by how we treat them, not by preaching them into hell. Christ loves the sinner--so can I--but I don't become a sinner to show them Christ; I live what I say I believe. If people don't want to change who they are or what they do--they won't and that's not on me. My responsibility ends with my representation of who Christ is, not whether they accept and believe it.

And herein lies the problem with the "representation" of who He is by Republicans who promote a liar-in-chief. Many who have straddled the fence in coming to terms with Christianity have now chosen the other side--alongside the non-believers and atheists because they want no part of "Christianity" as demonstrated by pseudo-christians. I refuse to be a hypocrite, listen to them or support them since they lie to themselves and others about who they are.

That is truly the sad part. When people have an opportunity to demonstrate the love of Christ, they have chased people away with their attacks and delusional beliefs that God would choose a mentally incompetent pathological liar to lead millions of people--into total chaos, pulling apart families, making people fearful and obstructing justice to try to keep their wrong-doings hidden. That doesn't sound like the God of Heaven to me and it certainly doesn't demonstrate who He is.

Fortunately for me and a number of others, we won't have to answer to God for this folly when we stand before Him. On a daily basis, I seek The Lord for guidance and implore Him to help me get through another day, without resorting to the tactics I see from others. That does not mean I won't use every avenue open to me to point out the hypocrisy of those in leadership positions or to let them know--they lie and mislead and we see it. I thank God for Him keeping my words--civil (just barely, but He does rein me in) so I don't come across as a hypocrite.

My criticism of those in White House and on Capitol Hill is justified and needed in order to bring them to a place where if they never respond to me or others; they will not be able to stand before God and say, "they didn't realize they were wrong." There are a number of us who remind them on a daily basis that what they're doing is wrong. We can't make them do right, but we can keep letting them know just how wrong they are and we do.

Whenever anyone attempts to violate a person's rights--in Christ or according to the Constitution, they are wrong.  Using bullying tactics and deceitful strategies and bribery to get others to do what they want is wrong. Separating families who have committed no crimes and just want the opportunity to have a better life is wrong. Yeah, yeah, I know there is a "legal" way to obtain entrance into this country, but desperate people often do desperate things in order to save the lives of their family--especially when children are involved. So what happened to "defending the rights of the poor and needy?" With those who love Christ and have more love to share with others, we're doing just that. It's the others--the pseudo-christians--who are not being led by The Lord.

Caught Up in Idolatry!

For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.” We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.We should not test Christ, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 1 Corinthians 10: 1-15 NIV
How do people get caught up in idolatry? When they allow themselves to think more of mere human beings or things than they reverence God, they have sunk to the depths of idolatry--worshiping the created things more than the Creator.

How do we know who is caught up in idolatry? When we see people revere another person more than they revere God and actually proclaim God has directed them to do so--they are caught up idolatry.

I've seen a number of posts on social media in which people now have regrets about the election results. One pastor admitted they got caught up in the glare of what seemed to be and didn't realize what was. They thought a businessman who knew how to make money would be a better choice for the country and now see the error in their thinking. He said, "We prayed for God to anoint the one we chose instead of praying for God to direct us to the right person." Now, in the aftermath, prayers are being made that God will undo, what men did--because they were caught up in idolizing a mere human being.  And some are still praying for 45's salvation, when that should have been established before anyone supported him--if they truly wanted a Christian in office.

People have been so blinded by the proclamation that God chose 45, they refused to see all the warning signals and would not hear the alarms sounded by those whose vision was clear and their ears unstopped. They overlooked the fact that a pathological liar was running around doing what liars do--lie--about everything. They overlooked the fact that a vengeful, hate-mongering xenophobic was stirring up hatred and fear to "show everybody" what he could do.

Now that he has won an election--by hook and crook with all the lies, false propaganda and Russian interference with hacking, he has to constantly remind everyone that he won--every time he opens his mouth--guilt coating every word for those who are spiritually discerning. For if we are not able to spiritually discern what is unfolding before our eyes, we will be caught unaware and be tempted to do as the others.

God sees all and knows all and He will not be mocked by anyone proclaiming to be a Christian when they are not. We can quote the bible, go to a building for "church services," and even act like we know God, but if Christ does not reign in our hearts, and we cannot show compassion and love for all others--we do not belong to Him and we lie. For the lies people are living, the truth is being exposed and yet--those caught up in idolatry refuse to see what it is right in front of them. By the time the scales fall from their eyes, the country may be in such dismal shape, it will take years for America to recover. And while America is in the throes of recovering her status with the world, the world has moved on--without us--leaving us to fend for ourselves in the face of the inside danger--emanating from Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller--the architects of the destruction of government as we know it.

For those in right relationship with God and know how He does things--with truth always at the forefront--we have nothing to fear for our God is faithful and He will deliver us from the hands of the wicked and the wicked shall be punished.

So, don't get caught in the noise that sounds like a victory and the rallying cries. The victory is hollow and based on lies and the rallying cries--designed to stroke the egos of those who know--they have not earned the position in which they stand. People who know they are loved, need not travel the country looking for adulation (those idolizing them). Applauding ineptness and mentally instability while not acknowledging it--is idolatry.

When the truth is unveiled and the cowards in Congress develop a backbone or at least grow a pair--the world will see what many of us already see--his orangeness is but a bumbling buffoon who has laughed at all those he's duped into believing he cares about America.

Right Now Faith!

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead. By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith. By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. Hebrews 11:1-8 NIV (Read the entire chapter)
Many people claim to have faith in God and yet their actions refute their claim. How do we know? True faith, means we do not doubt--no matter what happens. For did not Jesus say that if we have faith--as tiny as a mustard seed--and did not doubt--we could move mountains?

This "now" faith differs depending upon how one explains it. Some say the "now" is an adjective--modifying faith and some say it is an adverb--indicating when. No matter how anyone explains it--faith--the confidence we have in God--to do what He said He'd do, whether we can see it or not, should be sufficient for the moment of our need. For if we can see the results of our faith, we no longer need to have faith for it.

We can declare by faith, that we will obtain a good job and proclaim it even though we don't see it--yet. While we're proclaiming it, we must do something in order for us to obtain what we say we believe. So now, we'll go to school or fine tune job skills until we get that job. "Faith without works, is dead." Once we have obtained the job desired, we no longer need faith "to get it," but we'll certainly need faith to keep it. So we perform the job with integrity and honor no matter what and even though we cannot see the end of days when we might leave it--we maintain our faith to keep it.

I've taken a rather circuitous route to get to this point--to encourage all those who are resisting the madness in the White House. Don't get discouraged! Maintain your faith in what you do to see that justice prevails for all and that we will see an end to the madness! We don't have to see how it's going to happen, but to have faith that it will happen--without doubting.

For all who read how the rest of the chapter relates the faith of those blessed by God--note this one thing: It was the individual's faith in God that was recognized and blessed and though some died--without seeing the end result of their faith--their faith in God was maintained. Though Noah had never seen rain before, his faith in what he knew God had told him to do, kept him going in building the ark, no matter how people laughed at him or ridiculed him, he kept building. When the rain came, they were no longer laughing, but it was too late for them to change course, once the ark was closed and sealed. I realize not everyone reading this believes in God or has a relationship with God, but I'm counting on my relationship with God and my faith in Him to know; all will be just as He planned it.

I'm counting on His love for us to see us through all the turmoil and chaos and we'll be left standing with a praise in our mouths, giving Him glory!

And that faith I have--is for right now--this very moment in the time of need for many who are fearful and distressed over what we see which causes us to doubt that God is able--right every wrong. Truth will prevail and every wrong deed will be avenged by God as we continue to fight the good fight of faith.

Be Watchful and Pray!

But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. Everyone will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. Stand firm, and you will win life. “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21:14-36 NIV
ATTENTION RESISTORS Of EVIL And INJUSTICE: No matter what happens in life--we have an advocate in Jesus Christ and we can count on Him to be true to His Word.

Father, in the name of Jesus,

We ask You to strengthen hearts of every Resistor and bless them with wisdom in all of their ways, always mindful to keep You in the forefront in this battle against injustice and evil emanating from the White House.

Encourage each and every one of them and never allow doubt to seep into their hearts to discourage their efforts. Keep them focused on the task at hand until everyone in America is treated with equal justice under the laws of man and established by You.

No matter how many people attempt to belittle and malign them, put a smile on their face and keep refilling them with love for all mankind until the days of the evil one are ended.

For all those filled with Holy Spirit, let them hear Him at every turn, in every phone call and every email, and every post made on social media, mindful always that God sees and knows all and whatever we do, we must do to His glory and not our own.

We know that we are to defend the rights of the poor and needy and we thank You, Lord for all those who don't claim to belong to You, yet are willing to do Your will in all things that matter regarding other human beings.

Let wisdom and knowledge flow unhindered into the minds of all who are willing to receive and direct them in all they do so all will not that You have not forsaken us.

All this we ask and thank You for in Jesus' mighty name, Amen!

The Enemy!

The faithful have been swept from the land; not one upright person remains. Everyone lies in wait to shed blood; they hunt each other with nets. Both hands are skilled in doing evil; the ruler demands gifts, the judge accepts bribes, the powerful dictate what they desire— they all conspire together. The best of them is like a brier, the most upright worse than a thorn hedge. The day God visits you has come, the day your watchmen sound the alarm. Now is the time of your confusion.Do not trust a neighbor; put no confidence in a friend. Even with the woman who lies in your embrace guard the words of your lips. For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Micah 7:2-7 NIV
There are seemingly more enemies surrounding us than friends, but the most despicable enemy are those influenced by deceptive persuasion. Satan--will don the garment of the righteous in order to deceive and when their hearts are not right with God, he is successful and then will things fall apart, they stand in wonder as to how it happened.

Everyone saying, "Lord, Lord" is not a follower of The Most High God and in fact, we are cautioned in The Word that many will stand before Him and He'll say, "Depart from me, I never knew you." Let's look at what Jesus said:
Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ "Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Matthew 7:20-27 NIV
So are we building our house on a rock or on the sand?

It would appear that with all the upheaval and chaos emanating from the White House that the 2016 Election created a situation in which the presidency and the credibility of America was built on sand and when the storms continue to rage, it will soon be washed away.

Historically, not many have ever seen such turmoil in the White House or such disdain from other countries because of the leader in it as we see right now. The enemy--those who gain access or entry into situations by deceit and cunning through the auspices of wrong doing and outside interference should never expect peace for there will be none. Whenever a "dictator" sets out to beguile the people using false propaganda and outright lies, they may have persuaded the masses for a moment, but the moment passes as soon as the blinders fall off and people realize they've been duped.

Ironically, not once has there been an evil judge or king or dictator who did not fear for his own life, yet they had no qualms about destroying others.

Karma bites and it's about to take a big bite out of those responsible for the madness resulting from the rigged election.

But it's not only those who rigged the election who will feel the pain, but all those who pretend to be Christians--the pseudo-christians who because of their own agenda--lied in order to bring about a desired result.  They won--but what did they win? Based upon what I've seen posted by various people from across the land, the pseudo-christians have won the disdain of many who now see them as hypocrites and that includes the entire Republican party--that so-called party of family values who have endorsed and embraced the very epitome of ignorance and evil and condones the wrongdoing in the White House.

Anyone who does not do the will of God, "defend the rights of the poor and needy," and cannot love as God loves--unconditionally, is the enemy. Did not Jesus tell us that there are but two commands by which we must live and will be judged by? "Love the Lord with all our heart, soul and mind and love one another as we love ourselves."

Where is the love of a the fake-president residing in the White House? There is a love of greed and power, but those are also covered in The Word--practices of evil. When a confirmed and publicized "white supremacist" is sitting at the table with others because he "tricked" the president into signing the order, but the president won't rescind it--what does that tell us? Can we see any good fruit in that action?

Do we see good fruit or rotten fruit in those given positions as cabinet members who have ties with Russia and refuse to disclose truth?

Do we see good resulting from evil in establishing people who disdain government in government positions? Is that why those who knew nothing, know nothing, and don't care, are guarded by others at taxpayer expense?

Every foolish decision has consequences and the cost--from a financial perspective is shouldered by the tax-payers who actually pay taxes and those who circumvent paying taxes keep are rewarded. Something to think about it.

Though Satan is the enemy of mankind, those influenced by him are the enemy of everything right and good. The media is not the enemy of Americans--the clown in the White House is the enemy with his autocratic notions and attempts to establish tyranny.

The Americans who did not drink the shake are not fooled (and there are more of us than those who drank the shake) and we are not standing by idly waiting for the storm to rise; we are establishing our faith on The Rock and He will prevail against all the enemy attempts to do to destroy a nation.

In order to defeat the enemy--we must know the enemy and how the enemy plans to divide and conquer. We do, for we see it on a regular basis and will not cave. We will resist the impulse to give in and we will be victorious over evil.

Staying Focused!

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.Only let us live up to what we have already attained. Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. Philippians 3:14-21 NIV
At some point in time, we all need to take stock of our surroundings, pay attention to what's important and determine within ourselves--to not let the menial incidents to distract us or keep us off focus.

If our focus is to live for Christ and live as He desires us to live--we cannot ignore the plight of those who are less fortunate than we are, nor can we ignore the attempts of those in positions of authority to demean or belittle others. All lives are important to God--Black, White, Asian, Latino, Brown, Red--no matter what a person believes or how they worship--we are important to Him. Since we are important to Him--we cannot sit back and allow mere human beings to disdain God's plans for us for the sake of keeping political campaign promises that denigrate other human beings.

Therefore, as along as the current administration attempts to create hostile environments for others, we will continue to keep him aware of his shortcomings and fight for the rights of others to live in a safe, fearless environment.

Though I have yet to attend a march in protest of the decisions being made for others, I look forward to being in Washington in a couple of months. My presence in itself may not change a thing, but historically, it will change the way people view autocracy and it will certainly be a bookmark in my life, being on the right side of history, not the infamy of those who only had plans to lift themselves.

On a daily basis, I seek The Lord to see what He would have me say and I can say without doubt, that He is continually overseeing all I do to His glory and not my own. For I know, there is no glory I can seek for myself, but I can do all I can to encourage others to never give in to tyranny or a tyrant. So, my focus--on today like many other days, will to be make phone calls to legislators, tweet them, email them--doing whatever I can to make sure our voices are heard and to make a way for those who are living in fear--to know peace.

I pray all like-minded will join the battle against injustice and white privilege that allows others to feel superior to those who don't look like them. I remind all--especially those pseudo-christians who think that Jesus was white--to learn the geography of the region in which He was born, read The Word with a pure heart and open mind and know--that God does not discriminate against a person because of skin tones.

What Did You Miss?

“Do not spread false reports. Do not help a guilty person by being a malicious witness. “Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd, and do not show favoritism to a poor person in a lawsuit. “If you come across your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to return it.If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it. “Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.  Have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty. “Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the innocent. “Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt. Exodus 23:1-9 NIV
ATTENTION: EVANGELICAL LEADERS/PSEUDO-CHRISTIANS

I guess you missed reading some of the bible when you chose to lie to people. I don't have time to go into all the details, but just from what the world has seen--you stand to be judged for the lies you promoted about 45. How does it feel to know the world is laughing at America and the totally useless buffoon you elected as president? Do you feel good about lying to people, now?

We are watching a daily circus--a clown show in which the big tent is now the White House and all the players--lost sheep, looking for a way out of the madness.

The global buffoonery with his lies is not even funny. He lies about terror attacks. He lies about the media being fake news. He lies about the media being the enemy of the American people. He lies about his taxes. He lies about his connection and ties to Russia. He lies about removing himself from his businesses. He lies about his intellect. He lies about his business acumen. He lies about his role in creating job growth. He lies about "inheriting a mess." He lies about being the "only one who can fix things." The bottom line is--he lies and you promoted the imbecilic pathological liar to your constituents. Why? Just why?

Was it worth it? Now, we're all going to pay for your stupidity and lies saying God chose him. You know you lied and the rest of us--who actually have a relationship with God--knows you lied. I would not want to be in your shoes in the end--when we must all give an account to God for the things we have done. "So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God" (Romans 14:12). I didn't vote for a person who has no regard for the lives of those outside a womb in endorsing legislation for the mentally unstable to purchase guns. I didn't vote for a person who cares nothing about the environment and deregulated all the safety precautions so people could have clear water and air and safe food production. I didn't vote a person who who fires others simply because they dare to speak their minds--and not agree with him. I didn't vote for a person who unilaterally wants to remove all people who are not white in America. Don't bother to deny it--you know it's true. You did this--now own it.

I'm so thankful that I know the first human being God created was a person of color and that God in His infinite wisdom cares about all of His creation--not just those who migrated to colder climates and their skin tones changed. But that's what you believe right? You think that "white" is the right skin tone and all others are to be dismissed, right? Apparently, you missed a few history and geography lessons and totally missed what happened in Genesis. Don't take my word for it--read it again with a map in your hand.

Your lack of understanding about God's Word and His intent for all mankind is astounding! How you can call yourselves promoters of God's Word when you lack understanding is--criminal. I'm guessing--the donations made to your respective churches or the promises made--had you feeling this was all worthwhile. You drank the shake and brain cells were scrambled. That's the only excuse I see for what you've done. Fortunately, I do not have to answer for you--you do.
When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them.And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:7-15 NIV
Perhaps, you--the pseudo-christians are merely fulfilling your role in God's plan--being the tool Satan uses. For God warned us in His Word that those who know and love Him--are not ignorant of Satan's devices and how he does things. I guess you missed that or it was missing in your bible.

For long as I have breath in my body and the use of my limbs--I will continue to advocate for the poor and needy and rail against religious debauchery and its leaders who lead people astray--causing confusion and promoting lies to accomplish an agenda that is not worth all the destruction that results from it.

May God have mercy on your souls and all those you convinced to believe a lie.

Shedding Ignorance!

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed. Ephesians 4:11-19 NIV
Ignorance by definition is a lack of knowledge or understanding. To some degree, no matter how much knowledge we think we have, we are all ignorant about some matters, but when wisdom reigns, we recognize what we don't know and if we need to know--obtain the knowledge about the matter so we are no longer ignorant about it.

The ignorant are not so. They have not been introduced to wisdom and therefore wisdom cannot reign in their lives so they cling to ignorance like some children cling to a moldy, filthy, blanket--their insecurities--won't let them be relieved of the blanket long enough for it to be cleaned and so it stinks and all sorts of bacteria breed within the fibers and spreads disease, causing more stench. But that insecure child--the one that clings to that moldy, malodorous blanket--doesn't seem to mind the stench, the filth, or the bacteria clinging to them.

That's how children act--and it's forgivable because they are children, but when adults and over-aged toddlers cling to ignorance--there's a problem. Now, like the children--adults cling to their ignorance out of fear--the fear that knowledge will force to see truth and the fault of what they once believed. So they will wear their ignorance with pride--not realizing how foolish they look and they won't care.
We cannot force people to shed their ignorance--they have to want to shed it and exchange it for knowledge, but they can only do that--when they allow wisdom to reign in their hearts. Therefore, the ignorance we see in those who profess a love for an idiot--is what the ignorant want and there's nothing we can do about it.

What is amazing to me is how many people appear to idolize a person who is about to create havoc with their healthcare, poison their streams, and pollute the very air they breathe, just so corporations can get rich not having to follow any guidelines for safety reasons. The ignorant believe--because it's what they've been told and will not research any information for themselves--that de-regulations allow corporations to hire more people. They don't bother to think about the "safety" issues that will persist, their only concern is the money they'll make, but it they'll end up spending--not enjoying--on healthcare issues. There is no fair exchange with de-regulations and the only ones who will profit by it are the corporations--not the people who work for them.

The ignorant have no problem with the dissolution of the Department of Education because they don't have an education--no wisdom to see what the end result will be.

The ignorant have no problem with streams being polluted by toxins dumped into the water because they seldom drink water--at least from what I've seen of the interviews conducted in the local pubs.

The ignorant have no problem with air pollution as a result of the chemicals and toxins in the air and they apparently see no problem with everyone eventually having to wear masks like those in China. There's a reason why products are made so cheaply in China--there are no safety regulations.  People wear the masks to protect them from the toxins in the air, but the death rate in China is up--but since the productivity in China is driven by American companies who are saving a bundle in manufacturing--no one cares about the people who are incapacitated by the air and water pollution and fact that their fish is poisoned and they eat it and sell it others.

But why should Americans living in America worry about the Chinese and their problems? We'll soon have the same problems and as it is in every society, only the strong will survive and in this case--only the rich who can afford to drink filtered water, hoard goods in sheltered areas, and live in air-filtered environments--will survive, all because the ignorant disdained knowledge and truth and voted for an idiot who only cares about himself.

Even so--those of us with wisdom and knowledge must keep pouring out truth so that on the day we all stand before God in judgment--we can say honestly say--we did not wear ignorance as a skin-tight garment, but shed it in exchange for knowledge so we would know truth.

Think about it! What are you wearing or what's clinging to you? Is it ignorance or wisdom? I choose to wear wisdom with pride in the knowledge that God would not have me ignorant about those things or people who are not his. I shed that ignorance a long time ago and have no desire to reclaim it. What about you?

Soon And Very Soon!

A psalm. My God, whom I praise, do not remain silent, for people who are wicked and deceitful have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues.With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause. In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer. They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship. Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy; let an accuser stand at his right hand. When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayers condemn him. May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership. May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation. May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may blot out their name from the earth.  For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted. He loved to pronounce a curse— may it come back on him. He found no pleasure in blessing— may it be far from him. He wore cursing as his garment; it entered into his body like water, into his bones like oil.May it be like a cloak wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him. May this be the LORD’s payment to my accusers, to those who speak evil of me. Psalm 109:1-20 NIV
I am #TheResistance

Did God honor this prayer for David? Yes, He did and He will honor every prayer we pray, when the prayer aligns with His Word. Contrary to the thoughts of some about prayer and praying for others--we see in this passage--there is a time when we stop expecting God to change people. People will never change people; they only change when they see a need to change and that from within. So for those who telling people to pray for 45--it is an exercise in futility since he sees know no need to change.

What should our prayer be then? My prayer is that The Lord will bring an end to this atrocious situation soon, by whatever means He sees fit to use. I know there are those who think--"give him a chance."

He's had a chance to show us who he is and he has. He is a bumbling buffoon who is out to benefit himself and no one else. His billionaire friends are using him and he's too foolish to see it because he wants to be "accepted." He doesn't realize that people are laughing behind his back and the only people who think anything of him are his base--the ones who are undereducated and ill-informed. They look upon him as some kind of god and can't see what's right in front of them. We know this is true because they think he speaks truth and the actuality is--he and truth have no relationship whatsoever. They have never met and every time he opens his mouth--the discerning majority population--know it.

While I was praying for those who are going to lose the most--his fan base--I have stopped praying for them. They want to idolize a man who will soon be cause of their having toxins in their water, air and no oversight as to what is put into their foods. They're going to lose access to the type of medical coverage they need because they were too foolish to know--the Affordable Care Act-was deemed Obamacare by bigoted Republicans. Now, they're fit to be tied because they screamed about getting rid of Obamacare, not knowing it was the healthcare they needed. It is really sad to see such hatred for a person that  don't realize the good that was done for them.

Now, if we're watching closely to what's happening aside from the distractions 45 creates, we'll see North Korea and Russian attempt to make a move against the United States. This is what giving 45 a chance has done.

If I don't live beyond today, I can safely say, my destination is secure and heaven is my home. Where 45 will end up is anyone's guess, but I doubt there will be a mansion waiting for him.

Nevertheless, soon and very soon, Lord--remove the oppressive fascist from our midst and when he is found to guilty of treason, remove any lingering doubts from the minds of any who thought he cared about--the average working people. And let his fall from grace and public opinion be seen worldwide so the world will know--we--the majority of Americans--are not like him.
Gallup's daily poll, which is based on a three-day rolling average, has Trump's approval rate at 38 percent and his disapproval rate at 56 percent, with a 3-point margin of error.
And though the Republican party approves of his performance (entertainment I guess), by 87%--the overall public opinion of his job performance is lower than any other president's before him. The reality of the situation is this--45 is not doing anything other than making noise and signing whatever is put in front of him. He has no idea how to govern and others are making all the important decisions for him because he doesn't have a clue. Then there are those who "complained about Obama taking vacations more than once a year" and this idiot apparently thinks the job of a president is a 9-5 week day only situation and has spent more time doing nothing in 4 weeks than Obama did in 8 years. And the taxpayers--those of us paying taxes (he doesn't) are footing the bill to the tune of over 10 million dollars for the past four weeks, when Obama (who paid taxes) only spent 96 million in 8 years. Get a calculator all you loyalists and see what your loyalty to a buffoon is going to cost America!

For those who put political party before country--May God deal with you in a manner that will make you remember--the welfare of the country should always come before a party's agenda. But if you don't know--you will--soon and very soon! As it has been said, "Patriotism is loyalty to country--not a president."

Waiting--For God's Intervention!

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5
Waiting to exhale--hoping every breath will not be our last--since the crazy just won't stop!
Since God is not speaking to 45's heart or if He is--45 is not listening, we can pray for those in Congress to hear God and obey and grow a pair.

So many adjectives--none with a positive connotation--were used in describing the press conference reporters were subjected to yesterday. "Unhinged, crazy, bizarre, off meds" are just a few terms used to describe the maniacal, dishonest comments made by 45.

He didn't inherit a mess--country is in better shape than it was 8 years ago.

He didn't win more electoral votes than anyone since Reagan--Obama won with 365 to his 304 (he said 306), and Bush with 425. Apparently his math skills are no better than his reading comprehension skills.

The White House is not running like a fine-tuned machine and we hear about all the chaos on a daily basis--if a person knows where to tune in--that is.

Every time he opens his mouth--insecurities are shown--he has to keep talking about the election win because he knows it was rigged in his favor and he's fearful evidence will soon be produced. He's getting ready to campaign for 2020 so he can keep the campaign funds raised for 2016. So much for his feigned riches--he garners by unethical use of other's money.

His obvious lack of knowledge is continually demonstrated regarding other groups of people, and how he conceives what we know--so blatantly fascist--like he knows best for everyone, when he doesn't know what's best for him. We know fake when we see it and hear it--and nothing 45 says is true; it's his alterative truth--lacking facts.

So, yes, I'm praying for Congress to get it gear and realize they work for Americans, not the president. Americans voted for them and Americans can vote them out! This country has been subjected to the greatest humiliation and embarrassment by a given leader since Bush. World leaders and their people are laughing themselves silly at him and us by proxy!

This is not funny--lives are at stake--all of our lives since he doesn't think we understand the devastation of a nuclear war. I'd rather not find out and with all of the crazy he's demonstrated, it's possible that he'll start a nuclear war because he's so petulant and obnoxious, he'll bully others into reacting rather than ignoring him. And since our republican congress members are reluctant to intervene (when they should), we simply need to ask for God's intervention--stop the crazy.

Lord,
We're waiting for You to intervene on behalf of those who love You and obey. We thank You for loving us enough to bring the insanity to an end and that right quickly. We thank You for exposing truth across Congressional members--and whoever is guilty of wrong-doing, bring it to the forefront so we can re-elect those who will care more about the country, than a political party's agenda. We thank You for keeping us from the evil one and the evil residing in the White House and from those who promoted the evil--the pseudo-christians. Lord, shut the mouths of the liars and seal them with a hot sword--and bring repentance and peace to the land.  In Jesus' name we pray, Amen!

Truth--The Great Divide!

Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?” But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.” Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.“Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house. “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.“Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”Matthew 12:22-37 NIV
Every day, brings new challenges, new insights, new bizarre behavior--all keeping many of us, just shaking our heads.

Whenever anyone in the Republican says foolish things--they confirm what I've already concluded--based on the things they say and do. If "truth" is desired in the situation, then no one should fear or rail against an investigation that should reveal truth. However, it would appear with statements made by Rand Paul and some others that, "Investigating your own party is a waste of time" (They spent millions investigating Hillary with one committee after the other--but she was a Democrat). What I glean from that statement is, "Even if we discover truth, we'll not reveal it because we'll all be exposed."

Now, some may argue the conclusions of my premise and that's their right to do so. But I have said from the beginning there was something fishy--rotten fishy--in the mix with the campaign run by the Republican party. But the smoke is clearing and soon, everyone will be able to see what I see.

It is now established by the intelligence community that members of the Trump campaign were communicating with Russian operatives--a year before the election. After the primaries (or even before), a deal was made with the devil and the Republicans. "Nominate me and I can guarantee a straight ticket win." Some didn't believe it, but eventually he was able to convince them as to how he could make such a statement. They knew--they all knew and that's why they don't want an investigation into the truth of the matter. For the truth--when known--will create a great divide--one greater that what we already see in this country.

Many who were duped into believing the great orange lie, or were just to angry so see clearly through red-hot emotions--voted for a manipulative, pathological liar whose only goal in running for president was to enrich himself. I'd be willing to bet--if truth is allowed to be exposed by the investigations--they'll he suddenly be struck with dementia and won't remember anything. I've watched him during a videotaped deposition to know how this is all going to play out. It will be just like his denying on Air Force One last week that he didn't know about Flynn lying to Pence. He lies with a straight face, cold heart, and no conscience.

At any rate, he's already decided to "campaign for 2020" this weekend for he needs constant affirmation or ego stroking to survive the day-to-day boredom of acting like a president when we all know--Bannon is actually the president and 45 is just doing what he's told to do (because he doesn't have the intellect to figure things out on his own).

And oh yeah! We finally figured out--(most of those watching unfolding events) that republicans are afraid to go against 45 because then he won't sign their asinine bills. The deal with the devil is exposing all the demons and truth will indeed cause that great divide--of loyalties when they scamper to try to save their own butts.

I wonder how those hypocritical pseudo-christians feel now--knowing they perpetuated the lie that God chose Trump to be president. Deluded people chose Trump and voted for him; that was not an act of God, but of manipulation and deception. Soon they will discover how lying on God has devastating consequences.

Here's to--the Truth--exposed for all the world to see!
