I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing?

I was so surprised when I read this article today and realized I wrote it 7 years ago today!  I had forgotten about it but after reading it again and thinking about the Asbury Revival it was so applicable to today.  Also because of the resent release of the movie "Jesus Revolution".

Stoneless Temple Home Ministry: I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing?: My heart is so heavy when I see the divide in our country over the elections, especially with the Super Tuesday primary just happening. ...

Don't Cry, You Are My Little Girl

Below is a list I found written by my mother.  She was reminiscing of her childhood and remembering the hard times of her grade school years.  She was a child of the Great Depression, born in 1929.  Her parents were farmers and lived in Nebraska.  She was the youngest of 9 children.  Her older siblings were teenagers when she was born.  Here is the list: 

She began school in the fall of 1935.  Her mom and dad took a trip to California shortly after she started school in the little one room school house, not too far from their farm.  They left the older children in charge while they went to look for work that was much more plentiful in California.  Her mother found a position of a cook for a wealthy family and her dad worked at a nearby Dairy farm and did handiman work for the people her mom worked for.  The oldest girl came out in the Spring and began working for the same people and then her folks went back to Nebraska to put in the crops on the farm. 

 

That Summer 3 of my mom's older sisters went to California and got jobs.  In the late Summer her mother told her dad that it was not proper for unmarried daughters to live and work by themselves and that they needed to go out there.  So right before my mother began the 2nd second grade they packed up all the of kids and went West to California. 

 

They found a place in Redondo Beach and my mother was sent to a huge school there.  It was the most people my mother had seen in her whole life.  She was so overwhelmed by it all.  She said the school was built on a hill and had a covered play area underneath the building.  She said she felt like a scared little rabbit and during recess would go all the way back under the building and just watch all the children playing.  Thus began my mother's many moves in her early grade school days.

In the next 2 years my mother moved 10 times, changing schools each time.  During this time her father would go back to Nebraska for lengths of time to work the farm and try and sell it but farms were not selling fast during the Depression.  Her mom stayed in California as the weather was warmer and better for her health.  She had struggled with serious bouts of sickness off and on since the birth of her 7th child in 1922.  They moved so much in California because of not having a lot of money.  Sometimes having a place of their own and then her dad leaving back for the farm and her mom and younger siblings moving in with the older kids for a while in different places. 

 

My mom's worst year was her 4th grade year.  She had spent the summer in Nebraska and started 4th grade there.  They then went out to California and lived with her mother, brother and sister.  Then her mom, my grandmother, fell very ill and mom went to live with her older single sisters who had a small house they rented and worked in a cookie factory in Burbank.  Grandma was so ill that she could not take care of my mom.  Mom was 9 years old and was without her folks as her dad was back taking care of the farm in Nebraska.

  

Mom hated school.  She was a shy child and over weight.  She got so behind, changing schools so much and the teachers she got that year were not patient with her.  She was seated in the back with another failing little boy and ridiculed by the other kids.  One day in class she laid her head down on her desk and began to cry.  Little did she know that at that moment the 5th grade teacher, Mrs. McGuire, was walking down the hall and looked into her class room and saw her crying.  She was moved with compassion and went directly to the Principal's office and asked to have mom in her class.  The principal told Mrs. McGuire he would let her take mom into her class but she would have to prepare her 4th grade lessons and not get extra pay for the extra work that she would have to put in.  She said she would do it gladly.  She then went back to mom's class, walked down the aisle to her desk, lifted up her head in her hands and said, "Don't cry anymore, you are going to be my little girl."  She helped mom with her things and took her into her classroom.

  

Mom flourished in Mrs. McGuire's class and finished the 4th grade year and then had her for 5th and 6th grade years also.  Those were wonderful years for my mom as Mrs. McGuire was a wonderful teacher and really thought a lot of my mom.  My grandmother recovered from her serious sickness.  They had found out from a family member, Dr. Hromadke, that she had diabetes.  Dr. Hromadke told her that she would die if she did not take insulin.  She told him, she would not die because God had promised her that she would live to raise her children and she still had a little girl to raise.  She prayed about the doctor's diagnosis and the need to take insulin and God told her that if she ate a good diet and stayed away from sugar and too much fat that He would preserve her life to raise my mom.  A wonderful miracle was worked on my grandmother's behalf and she recovered from large absses on her legs and regained her strength.  My mom was able to have her mom again and her dad sold the farm and they were all family again, living in the house that her dad bought with the money he got from the sale of the farm.

A number of years later, my mom who was married and had my 2 older sisters, looked up her grade school teacher, Mrs. McGuire, to thank her for all she did for her.  Mom asked her what motivated her that day to do what she did.  Mrs. McGuire told her that she was a Christian and had gone through a terrible time when she was 9 years old when her mother died.  She said, "I knew your mom was very, very ill and you needed someone to love you and help you."

Every time I tell this story about my mom, I am moved to tears.  At that time my mom was like an orphan in a certain aspect because of her mother's illness and her father being gone a lot taking care of the farm.  I can't help but think of this passage of scripture in James and how Mrs. McGuire followed it and blessed my mother:

"Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.  My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. 2 For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes, 3 and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, “You sit here in a good place,” and you say to the poor man, “You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,” 4 have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives? 5 Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court? 7 Do they not blaspheme the fair name by which you have been called?"  James 1:27 - 2:7

Spin

Why is it important for a believer in Jesus Christ to understand the word 'Spin'?

Spin: noun: 
a. A usually ingenious twist.
b. A special point of view, emphasis, or interpretation presented for the purpose of influencing opinion.

Religious Spin:  noun:
Unwitting, spiritual flavored, half- truth dogma, that is subconsciously, and naturally derived from mixing spiritual, foundational Truth with earthly personal, organizational, or genealogical agenda, which is used by Satan to effectually neutralize, and destroy believers (IE. (Matt.7:23) 'you (believers in Jesus Christ) who practice lawlessness(Sin)').

One example of Spin:  A man can actually marry his neighbors wife under certain circumstances, because God is a loving God, the God of second chances, and His precepts are based on fairness for all.

Satan accomplishes this type of deception, because he appears as an angel of Light(Jesus/Truth) and tries to lure us(who, in such cases always gravitate to convenience, and worldliness in all matters of desire) with Spin.

Mat 5:32  but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of immorality, causes her to practice adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman practices adultery.

Luk 16:18 "Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another practices adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband practices adultery.

If the immoral wife does not repent, then the man is allowed to divorce her(but she does actually remain his 'wife' until he dies), and add on another wife, but it is never allowed for a woman to add on another husband. 

So the man that divorces the immoral wife, and marries another, actually has two wives, and anyone marrying the divorced wife will be practicing adultery, because marriage is permanent, that's why Jesus says any man that divorces his wife 'causes' her to practice adultery, because in most cases she will find, or will be found by another and get married. But the man who divorces the unrepentant immoral wife is not held accountable for causing her to practice adultery because she is already immoral.

The Real Truth is: Any man that is married to a divorced woman is practicing adultery, and he will be judged as an adulterer, he will not make it to the next world, in fact he is not known by the true Jesus Christ, if he does not repent, he is believing  in a false form of the true Jesus Christ.  That's why Jesus says:  'I never knew you, depart from me, you who practice lawlessness'.

Jesus said this because marriage, once pledged, and espoused, is permanent, and can not be dissolved, it can only be abandoned by death.  This is the Order that Jesus created in the Garden from the beginning. Man was not created for the Woman, but the Woman was created for the Man. But Spin would have us believe otherwise.

And there are many other examples of Spin.  But if we focus on Jesus' words alone we will recognize Spin for what it is, lies.

1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

1Jo 3:3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

1Jo 3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

1Jo 3:5 You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

1Jo 3:6 No one who abides in Him practices sin; no one who practices sin has seen Him or knows Him.

The only Way is to Repent, and practice the Truth.  Those that are sincerely mistaken, and are affected by the Spin, are tolerating sin, and they must repent,  but you must come out from them, and be a 'called out one', and walk with those who are putting to death the deeds of the flesh daily, and you will live.

When it comes to matters of Religion, no one ever purposely tries to be wrong, every soul is either sincerely correct, or sincerely mistaken, there is no other state, and there are no excuses.  This is why there are True Followers of Christ, and false followers of Christ.  


True followers of Christ are a peculiar people, a special people. A transformed people that seek foolishness, weakness, humiliation, poverty, and death in this world. There hearts are in the next world. They are a people that do not build Churches, Organizations, and Colleges. This is the difference between Worldliness, and Spirituality.


What happens to a damaged ship, when the people in the front are throwing things out to make it lighter, and the people in the back are pulling things back in.

Jesus Himself warned us that there would be those(false believers) who say that He(Jesus) is the Christ, and they(false believers) would mislead many(cause many to be mistaken).

In fact there are many false 'Jesus Christs' and many false prophets that are administering them.  This is the true meaning  of  'Apostasy'.

Women Initiate Divorce Much More Than Men, Here's Why

By Douglas LaBier Ph.D.   Psychology Today   Posted Aug 28 2015

 

Wives report more dissatisfaction with their marriages than their husbands.  

Some new data about divorce and non-marital breakups contains an unexpected finding, and I think it underscores the fact that we're in the midst of an ongoing evolution in what people want and seek in their romantic-relationships.

 

The study, based on a survey of over 2000 heterosexual couples, found that women initiated nearly 70% of all divorces. Yet there was no significant difference between the percentage of breakups initiated by women and men in non-marriage relationships.

 

How to explain? I find that these data are consistent with what I and others have seen clinically. When men and women seek couples therapy and then subsequently divorce; or, when either partner seeks individual therapy about a marriage conflict that ends in divorce, it’s often the woman who expresses more overt conflict and dissatisfaction about the state of the marriage. On the other hand, the man is more likely to report feeling troubled by his wife’s dissatisfaction, but pretty much "OK" with the way things are; he's content to just lope along as time passes.

 

In contrast, I find that younger couples – who are more likely to form non-marital but committed relationships — experience more egalitarian partnerships to begin with. When their relationship crumbles beyond repair, both experience that disintegration. Both are equally likely to address it – and part, if it can’t be healed.

 

These clinical observations are consistent with what the study’s lead author, Michael Rosenfeld, suggests — that women may be more likely to initiate divorces because the married women reported lower levels of relationship quality than married men. In contrast, women and men in non-marital relationships reported equal levels of relationship quality. Rosenfeld said his results support the feminist assertion that some women experience heterosexual marriage as oppressive or uncomfortable.

 

He adds, "I think that marriage as an institution has been a little bit slow to catch up with expectations for gender equality. Wives still take their husbands’ surnames, and are sometimes pressured to do so. Husbands still expect their wives to do the bulk of the housework and the bulk of the childcare. On the other hand, I think that non-marital relationships lack the historical baggage and expectations of marriage, which makes the non-marital relationships more flexible and therefore more adaptable to modern expectations, including women’s expectations for more gender equality."

Conclusion: Basis for underlying Theme; Harlotry, and the resulting Feminism, that has been created, enhanced, and propagated by Satan.

 

Men are predisposed to Actuality.  Women are predisposed to Fantasy.

Both atmospheres have their own scope and purpose, and also are essential ingredients of Harmony.  Love balances the equation, and the result is Duty, Honor, and Nobility.  Which creates a fully functional Family.

 

But both Actuality, and Fantasy create an inherent vulnerability,  this is why God established the Order, to protect the family from Satan's schemes. Which are age old, and can be traced all the way through history to the beginning.

 

 

 

 

 

　

　

　

　

　

Speak the Truth to One Another

 

 

　

Eph 4:25 Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are members of one another.

 

In order for there to be Forgiveness, Rewards (Gifts), and Power, there must be Sanctification.

 

This is the solution to all the questions that today's Christians are asking. But why is it so hard for us to achieve this solution? 

 

In order for us to understand the answer to this question, we must understand what has happened to the Faith in general.

 

If I am trying to give something away for free, then there is no hard-sell involved, there is no reason to push it, I am simply just trying to give it away. I do not need to worry about losing something, or not making a sale, in short I have nothing to lose, because I am giving it away for free.

 

But if I am selling something, then it becomes something different altogether. If I create religious financial agenda, then I need to support it, so I must sell it to those who would believe in it. In other words, one who is selling something, must accommodate the one who is buying. In short, no one is going to buy anything from someone who they perceive as a jerk, or is 'unkind' or 'unloving'.

 

Since the first century after Christ, men have been trying to fuse the Greco-Roman false religious system with true Christianity, and they were successful to an extent, and all of the various false-christs have come from this fusion, and the format is always the same as it was in antiquity.

 

In fact the apostles warned this was going to happen, and were trying to counter it whenever they could. But because the Greco-Roman culture has always been religious, immoral, selfishly ambitious, and self-serving, they (The Apostles) had quite a hard time trying to keep false prophets from dominating the common believers with the Greco-Roman false system.

 

Think about it, if I am trying to sell you something, I am going to act like a salesman, I am going to try and accommodate you in every way I can think of, because my ultimate goal is to make the sale, because I have an agenda. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out what has happened to us.

 

There are many scriptures in the Bible that mention false prophets trying to sneak in like sheep and lure people away with falsehood so that they can dominate, and feed on the sheep. Jer. 14:14, Lam 2:14, Eze 13:9, Eze 22:28, Matt 7:15, Matt 24:11, Matt 24:24, Luke6:26, 2Cor 2:17, 1John 4:1, 2Peter 2:1-3, Jude 1:4, Rev 2:2, Rev 2:14,15.

 

These things that I am talking about is why Jesus said: 'you cannot serve God and money', and also: 'freely you have been given, now freely give'. You see, we do not need Temples, and Cathedrals, and Churches, Colleges, and hired 'leaders' in order to understand what has happened to us because 'they' are and were the problem all along.

 

That's why they have to push 'false-grace' to the believers in order to accommodate them into the false system. Which begs the question: What is 'false-grace'?

 

In order for the false prophets to accommodate the religious, spoiled rotten, immoral, selfishly ambitious, self-serving culture, they have to purvey, and propagate false-grace. False grace has basically three components: 1. Forgiveness without Repentance. 2. Rewards (Gifts) without Obedience. 3. Power without Sanctification.

 

The first two are easy to purvey in a socialistic culture like ours, where people hate accountability, and discipline in general. But they have real trouble with the third one, and make a myriad of excuses to cover the Light that it sheds on the false system.

 

False-grace works great with the Syncretism that has followed the false religious system from antiquity.

 

Those who would Capture, Dominate, and Feed on the common believers are in reality the 'Nicolaitans' of old, which in fact is just a 'English name' that the translators chose not to translate from the original three Greek words Nikos-Laos-Ton, which actually means: Dominators (Conquerors) of the Common Believers (Laity). In other words those who dominate the common people with false authority, or rather clergy, which Christ said that their version of it must not exist with the true believers.

 

They (false prophets) are also the ones who 'have gone the way of Balaam, who was a Priest for Hire, and a false prophet, whose end result was the destruction of the people through licentiousness, and immorality.

 

Those who were the 'Nicolaitans', and those who had gone the way of Balaam, were actually the first century beginning of what would later be called 'The Roman Catholic Church', Practicing the very things that Jesus said the false prophets and false teachers would practice.

 

There are two main Messianic aspects that describe true believers, equal, and free.

 

Luther pointed out many negative aspects about the false church, but he was only scratching the surface, and eventually wound up banging his head on it until his demise.

 

But what he did not realize is that the entire Greco-Roman false religious system was dominating the whole culture, and it still does today. Practicing a religion of financial agenda, false authority, and licentiousness in all of the religious organizations that came from the primary one, The Roman Catholic Church. Even Luther did not realize the scope of the deception, or how the system would twist him into just another false Icon.

 

One day Jesus was sitting atop the Mount of Olives and His disciples came to Him privately, and He was telling them, 'see to it that no one misleads you'--

 

Mat 24:5 "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many.

 

Now many translators would have us believe from this verse (because of their spacing, and punctuation, which in fact was not introduced until about 500 years after Christ) That we should probably see a whole bunch of people running around saying they are Jesus Christ.

 

But if you read the verse in the way it was intended to be read, you will see that it is Christ's direct reference to Apostasy. What He was saying is, there won't be a bunch of people running around saying they are Jesus, but there will be a lot of false prophets that are saying Jesus is the Christ and leading many people astray with their false teachings.

 

I mean seriously, how many people have you seen running around saying they are Jesus? Anybody who did that would be laughed out of the county.

 

Or do we think that Jesus was actually telling His own Disciples to watch out and don't be deceived by people running around saying they are Jesus?

 

No, this is a direct reference to Apostasy, just like He goes on to say:

Mat 24:24 "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
Mat 24:25 "Behold, I have told you in advance.

 

The Greek word which is translated 'false Christ' is 'Psuedochristos', and its primary meaning is 'false Christ' or 'false version of Christ'. Remember He said they would come in His name (Jesus Christ) but they would be false prophets leading 'many' astray, or 'leading' them into error.

 

Many false versions of Jesus Christ, and many false Prophets of the false versions of Jesus Christ is what we are seeing today in all the religious organizations, which are in the false format that has come all the way from antiquity.

 

What is the answer to all of this? Jesus said:

Jhn 14:21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him."

Jhn 14:22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?"

Jhn 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.

Jhn 14:24 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.

 

In God's economy, there is no room for 'false grace'. God's economy is: Forgiveness with Repentance, Rewards (Spiritual Gifts) with Obedience, and Power through Sanctification.

2Th 2:13 But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

 

Christian men be Equal, and Free. Home-Church, and Home-School your families in the Truth, be lead by the Holy Spirit of Truth, and .....

'Speak the Truth One to Another'.

　

　

　

　

　

　

 

The Logic of the Order

 

 

What is Order? In a Scientific sense, the basic natural progression of the physical universe is from Order to Chaos. This is the basic law of Thermodynamics. Essentially something exists, and operates , and then it does not.

 

In a Philosophical sense, Order is based on understanding, there can be no Order without intelligence, knowledge, and design. Essentially, Order does not exist without Wisdom, or rather, the ability to utilize true knowledge correctly. True Knowledge is Light, and Darkness is the absence of Light. Therefore existence itself is Ordered, and even the Chaotic appearing things in the universe are maintained by that Order, according to design.

 

In a universe with physical laws, everything physical Must obey the laws, or it cannot exist, and operate.

 

This is the basic Order, or 'Foundation' of the framework of the physical Universe that Jesus Christ Created, and He has determined that everything Physical, exists in this atmosphere of extremely high accountability. Essentially: Obedience results in existence. This is the Ultimate Order of the Universe, Physically, Philosophically, and Spiritually.

 

The result of obedience, is continued existence. The result of disobedience, is death, or rather the cessation of existence.

 

Jesus Christ gives us a picture of the order of the universe in His parable about the person that builds his house on rock, or sand. Essentially the difference between a person that orders his life according to Christ's spiritual laws, and the person that doesn't. Showing that the Spiritual Universe exists in an atmosphere of extremely high accountability, like the physical universe.

 

This is why Jesus Christ tells us that 'if we keep His commandments, then we truly do love Him, and we will be loved by the Father, and They will come and make Their abode with us.

 

The stipulation is obedience, not saying the correct words, or going to the right place, or swinging the incense orb in just the right way.

 

Here is an example of obedience, that will illustrate the True Jesus Christ in a way that He intended to be perceived:

 

The first Order of the Universe pertaining directly to Mankind was the Order of Male and Female, or rather 'Marriage'. The Woman was given to the Man as his Mate, and the only thing that could dissolve that would be the death of the Man. The Marriage is therefore permanent in God's Order.

 

This is why Jesus tells the 'Religious Leaders' that it is easier for Heaven and Earth to just 'disappear' than for one stroke of a letter of the Law to fail'. Then He gives an example of this mandate: Anyone that marries a divorced woman is practicing adultery. Why?

 

Because to Jesus, the man that is married to a divorced woman is having sex with his neighbors wife, because she still belongs to her first husband, and will until her first husband is dead. This is the true logic of the Order, and it cannot be changed or superseded.

 

This is a true example of the 'small door', or 'narrow way' that Jesus spoke of. So we see that true obedience would be for that man to remove himself from that adulterous marriage, and repent to Jesus and apologize publicly, and the Lord would forgive him for his adultery, and he would make it to heaven, otherwise he would be judged as an adulterer and sent to hell.

 

In order for Christ to come to us and make His abode with us, we must encourage and foster an atmosphere of high accountability, otherwise He will not be with us, and He will abase us, as He has done to all the false Religious Organizations.

 

Do not follow the false doctrines of the Organizations, follow the Logic of the Order of the True Jesus Christ.

Stumbling Over the Bread Crumbs

Like in the ancient story of Hansel and Gretel, crumbs were used to mark the trail into the forest so that they could find their way out again. The first time they were taken into forest at the behest of their evil stepmother, Hansel used little white stones to mark the way back to their Father's house, but the next time all he had left was bread crumbs, and the crumbs were eaten by the birds in the forest, so they were hopelessly lost.

The importance of the lesson that this old story contains cannot be overstated, especially in this present time. The world is like a dark, dangerous, scary forest that can get you turned around so that you cannot find your way out, like the forest of Mirkwood in the stories by J.R.Tolkien, that forest was dark and angry, and would purposely change to trick you off of the path and doom you to forever wandering the forest to find the path that leads out.

Truth is like bread crumbs, in the sense that it helps us to see where we are, and how we can find our way back when we stray into the dark forest of the world. Some of the paths into the world are wealth, sexual immorality, selfish ambition, materialism, false religion, and science, just to name a few. While all of these paths are extremely dangerous, none of them are as insidious as false religion, and by saying false religion we mean: religious organizations that appear to be genuine, but are in reality false, and corrupt. So for now we will focus on the path of false religion.

Lets talk about some of the bread crumbs that can help us see where we are. The first one is 'Money'. This is a very good one, because the Lord Himself had much to say about it, which helps us to see this one clearly, if we keep an open mind and heart. Money is a neutral thing, which means it can be used for good or evil, it all depends on how you use it, but when does it become evil? 

Money becomes evil when we serve it, which means we are controlled by it, or rather it causes us to compromise our convictions. For example: if my boss wants me to do something that is wrong, I will have to chose between my devotion to what's right, and my need for the money that my boss gives me. The right choice in this example would be to disobey your boss in order to do what is right regardless of the consequences. Even though we need the money to survive, doing whats right is more important, if we would have given in to the boss and done what is wrong, then we would have succumbed to the fear of not getting the money, ergo: we would have been controlled by our need for the money.

That's why the Lord tells us to abandon our love for money, because it can control us. The World, and False Religion will try to convince us that we need lots of money to do lots of good, but is this really true? No it is not true, in fact nothing could be further from the truth. Creating a financial agenda (the need for money) is not scriptural, and the Bible teaches us to go the opposite direction, and practice self reduction in a material and financial sense, in order to focus us closer to what is really important in life. False Religions have always been centered around financial agenda, this is how they get there power, which happens to be the only power they possess, other than the mystique of religiosity, and people's innate desire for sociality.

The propensity for compromise is deeply embedded in the false religious system that is very old. It is found not only with the Pharisaical types , but also the Romans with their Temple Priestcraft paganism. Both were syncretized, or rather blended with the Original Christianity to create the Emperical hybrid, which was prophesied. Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots. All of the religious organizations are false in both form and practice, because the architype (or basic structure) is the Catholic Church, which was the original result of Empirical Syncretism.

The ancient Pagan practice (hundreds of years before Christ) was to build temples to the gods, and train the pontiffs (priests) in colleges so that they could run the temples, and all of the social gatherings, holidays, and financial resources were focused around the temple. The only difference now is that we have Judeo-Christian-Pagan hybrids that still practice priestcraft with hierarchical clergy, temple buildings and pontiffs (pastors) trained in priestcraft at the colleges to encourage people to worship their particular false version of Christ. This is called Polychrist Syncretism, or rather "Priestcraft" and it is very very old, and it is definately not Christ.

Have you ever sat in a religious organization's worship service and felt alone or have you ever sat in one of those services and felt like there was something seriously wrong but you couldn't put your finger on it? Well, I know exactly what you were feeling, and I can tell you now that you were feeling the Spirit of the Lord speaking to your heart telling you that it was wrong for you to be there, and you should leave.

If we mention all of the Bread Crumbs like Temple Building, Pastors trained in Colleges, huge financial agendas, hierarchical clergyism, Peddling the Gospel, compromising like: cultural relitivism, marrying divorced women (adultery), mothers working outside the home (feminism), materlialism, disregard of God's Order: Men not making their homes their ministry, and women working outside the home with men, being a bad example to the younger women, also not practicing purity in courting, and living together before marriage.

We can see that the organizations foster an atmosphere of compromise and licentiousness that they are trained to maintain, although outwardly seeming to be righteous, they are not, and are completely corrupt.

Men, your ministry is your home, and you should include your family in all your interests, passions, and recreations. Your home IS your ministry, and your neighborhood IS your mission field. You must work hard and be a good example to your neighbors, this IS God's will for you. The Orgs would have you believe that THEY are your focus of ministry, but that is a lie, and now you know it.

Women, work at home, be a professional homemaker, and be satisfied with the money that your husband makes, homeschool and home church your children, and protect them without being influenced by the fear of deprivation. The Lord will provide for all your needs if you trust and obey. Be a Pro 31.

What else can be said, we have been decieved, used, conditioned, abused, confused, and brainwashed. For hundreds of years people have accepted the status quo simply because it was ancient and practiced in their families, but what does the Lord say: Who IS your family? Those who DO God's will.

Come out, come out, come out, come out, come out. It is time. Remember our Lord warned us about people who would say that you have to go here and there to find Christ, and this is also a Bread Crumb, be lead by them, and do not stumble over them. May the Lord help you see the path.

Cracks in the Foundation

Our bodies were originally designed to live forever, never to die, always renewing and repairing itself but after the Fall and leaving of the Garden, not only thorns and thistles were brought into the plant kingdom but thorns and thistles were brought into our physical bodies.  Our body would now not wear out but would slowly stop being able to repair itself.  This disrepair is like cracks in a foundation.  Once the cracks become so large, the building can not stand anymore and it crumbles and falls to the ground just as our bodies fall into the grave.  We have all lost loved ones due to these cracks, as none of us will escape physical death.  Some have developed serious cracks sooner than others and their buildings, physical temples, have fallen sooner that others.

These last few months have been an incredible journey for me going back through the past in the writings of my mother, whose physical body failed at the age of 58.  The writings were a personal journal recording events that happen to her from 1949 when she met my dad until the finishing of the building of their home in 1964.  The other writings were lists that she made and short accounts of God's love and mercy to her through out her life.  My mother struggled with health issues most of her adult life, odd infections, sensativety to medication, weakness at times, a miscarriage, and some birth defects in her children.  She also was seriously ill for 3 years before she died, but most of her illness was a mystery to the doctors.  The doctors could see the cracks in her foundation of health but they didn't know what caused them and the damage was so severe at the end of her life, that there was no repairing it.

About a year ago one of the mysteries of my mom's health was revealed to me.  I found out there were clues in us, her children, her grandchildren and my dad.  Gene mapping was done and it revealed that both of my parents carried a defect in the gene that produces an enzyme necessary for life.  It is the enzyme that makes methylation possible.  Simply put, methylation allows your cells to repair itself and also allows detoxification of harmful elements in the body to be gotten rid of.   If the enzyme didn't work at all, you would die immediately.  Instead it was damaged so that it did not work as well, limiting methylation.  Some people can live a long time with this gene defect as in my father's case where he is 87 years old, but my mom only lived until 58.  The difference is what happened to them and other genetic factors.

When methylation does not happen at full speed, it damages your red blood cell production.  My mom suffered with some level of anemia all her adult life so she was more susceptible to infections.  When she was 25 years old she found out she was allergic to Penicillian, the hard way.  Instead of the doctor giving her a small dose to see how she reacted to it, because she hadn't had it before, he gave her a large dose to combat a bad sinus infection that she had been struggling with.  The result was a horrible allergic reaction that caused her to break out in hives.  My mom said they were the size of hen eggs on her legs and bright red that turned black blotches that stayed for a long time.  Also she experience weakness so that she could not climb a flight of stairs without resting on each step for about a year.  This so worried my mom as she had my two sisters and they were only 2 1/2 years and 1 year old.   She feared this illness would take her life and she would not be able to raise them.  My dad prayed for her and told her not to fear, that God would take care of her.  She eventually recovered.  My folks were poor and did not have health insurance, so they never had the money to have her weakness researched to find out the cause.  I just read recently in an article about Penicillin.  It said that a high dose of Penicillin can cause a drug induced anemia.  The body is adversly affected to destroy it's own red blood cells.  Sometimes this condition is permanent and sometimes temporary.  My mom had quite a struggle because she already had issues with anemia and her body had a hard time building her red blood cell amount.

A year after this struggle with weakness, my mother became pregnant and she miscarried the baby boy at 3 months, but the doctors didn't know why.  Anemia and not enough folate assimilation (yes a methylation issue) can cause the baby to have life threatening defects and die in the womb.  I also learned recently that in the early 1940's the government began to require food to be fortified.  All the wheat products were fortified with artificial folate which is folic acid.  They wanted to help curb birth defects and miscarriage. If a woman gets enough folate in the early weeks of pregnancy the baby will form correctly.  

The food being fortified was great for the people without the enzyme problem, but about 30 to 40 percent of the people would not be benefited by this.  With the enzyme defect, folic acid would be hard to metabolize as it is an artificial form of folate and would take extra steps to make it bioavailable.  Not only would the natural folate metabolization be slowed down even further but the unmetabolized folic acid would have a greater attraction to the folate receptors in the cells and block the folate absorption.  As time goes on the more folic acid a person has the more anemia will increase and homocysteines will build up in the body.  The higher the homocysteine levels in the blood the more inflammation, more prone to infection, the more chance of heart and blood vessel problems, more occurrence of autoimmune diseases, cancer and neurological disorders.  Homocysteines are hard to test for in the blood, as they begin to break down within minutes after the blood is drawn.  So regular lab tests don't show the accurate amount that is present.  A special test has to be done, that is fairly new.  They do know that high levels of homocysteine in the blood cause you to have a high SED rate.  My mom had a high SED rate but never had it researched.  But, back then they would not of known of her genetic problem as this has only been known in the last 10 to 15 years.

Two years after mom miscarried her first baby boy, she gave birth to my brother.  He was healthy but she didn't realized until he was a year old that he was tongue tied.  The thin web of tissue under the tongue knits all the way to the tip of the tongue.  My brother's tongue was tied down behind his lower front teeth.  So he had to have it clipped.  It broke my mother's heart to see his little tongue swollen and he could no longer drink from his bottle.  He just sat and held it and cried.  This is  an easily repaired birth defect that is caused by low folate.  There are more severe birth defects that can occur. 

Fourteen months later she gave birth to me.  Having kids close together is also a drain on your folate supplies.  A year after I was born, my folks began a building project.  They had bought land and lived on it for a couple of years.  They had a very hard time financially as my dad could not find steady work.  So when I was a year old he got a good job working in a plywood mill.  They began saving their money and then got a loan and began building the house that I was raised in.  They did all the work themselves and had a few men help them on some heavy projects that my mom couldn't do and my dad couldn't do by himself.  So my dad worked full time, sometimes over time and worked in the evening and weekends building the house.  Here is a little excerpt from her journal during those years: 

"While Dad was building the main part of the house he worked all the time and lots of the time, six days a week at the mill.  I would say we probably put in 5000 hours on building the main part of the house.  It cost us $7000.00 to build it.  We had never built any thing before in our life.  It was a real challenge and lots of persistent hard work. I averaged putting in about 6 hours a day working on the house.  I had 4 children to care for and we had no fences.  The yard was full of kids from the neighborhood most of the time.  We had a big garden.  I took entire care of the garden and yards.  I canned 900 to 1000 quarts of food each year.  I sewed all of the children's clothing.  I was a very, very busy mother working most of the time about 15 hours a day."

I was so amazed and blessed in my heart when I read this.  My parents worked so very hard to provide a home for us 4 children to grow up in.  My mom worked many long hours and I know did not get her rest like she needed.  For if you do not rest, your body does not have the chance to repair itself and rebuild blood cells.  Anemia gets worse when you don't get rest.  On the tails of one of my parent's greatest joy, a home for their family, they experienced the greatest sorrow, the death of a child.  My mother became pregnant soon after moving into our new home.  During her pregnancy she was diagnosed with very serious anemia.  She went to work eating chicken livers and iron rich food and brought her red blood count up but the damage had already been done.  Before 8 weeks of development the baby's diaphragm did not knit closed and his intestines came up and crowded his lungs.  At birth the doctor discovered that mom had an infection in her placenta (anemia makes you prone to infections).  So the little guy was at about 5 lbs at birth.  This was the days before sonogram and he was not breathing.  So they tried to get him to breath and then discovered his defect of an unclosed diaphragm.  This required surgery, which they performed but they didn't know that a small hole had been made in his lung when trying to get him to breath and it was too much for him to recover from, having low birth weight, surgery for the diaphragm and now the hole in his lung.  So he died the next day.  The diaphragm not being closed is another mid-line birth defect caused by low folate.

After our baby brother's death my mom began to diet as she was the heaviest she had ever been in her whole life.  She slowly cut down, taking out a lot of carbs out of her diet, which meant less folic acid and had lots of natural folate with lots of home grown vegetables and fruits.  We had friends that owned a dairy and would give us the organ meat, liver, heart and tongue.  We had these meals fairly often as I remember them well through my early childhood.  With my mom dropping the weight, eating more natural folate, she got healthy and strong again.  She would have occasional odd infections and some digestion issues but nothing super serious until after we were grown.

She slowed down quite a bit in her mid-40's.  She had trouble with inflammation in her body which lead to her feet and ankles swelling.  She had some serious varicous veins from genetics and having 5 babies.  So we just chalked it up to that.  But knowing what I know now, the folic acid in her diet slowed down the detoxification in her body and when you body has trouble with detoxifying in causes inflammation.  She had to spend lots of time with her feet elevated and walked much slower and couldn't do a lot of activities that required lots of standing or walking.

  

When mom was 56 she got a really bad cold that turned out to be bronchitis.  One night she told my father that she felt like she couldn't get her breath.  He took her to the doctor immediately and the doctor gave her antibiotics but it didn't faze the infection.  They sent her to a lung specialist and he did a biopsy on her lungs and discovered that she had a viral bronchial infection that had gone down into her lungs.  He said he had never seen that before.

  

My mom's immune system and liver had been weaken by the years of consuming the folic acid in her food, slowing down the red blood cell production and the toxins building in her body because he body could not detoxify like is was designed to do.  Since antibiotics would not work on the infection that would take her life, they gave her steroids to stop the inflammation and she could breath again.  The down side was the steroids caused cirrhosis in her liver.  Her already weakened liver could not sustain the damage and my mother lost her strength.   She had to be in a wheel chair a lot if any walking was required.  She developed a calcium spur in her hip and the doctor gave her Advil for the pain and inflammation that it caused.  Also a diuretic to help with the swelling in her legs.  These drugs damaged her liver even more and she went into a coma about 6 weeks before she died.  In the hospital they were able to bring her out of the coma and then a liver specialist examined her and interviewed her.  He pin pointed the reason for her coma was her liver.  He was amazed how this happened when my mother recounted her life to him.  She had never smoked or drank and how she had a very good diet of lots of home grown vegetables and fruits.  He said she must of had a genetic weak liver and she lived as long as she did because she ate so well.  Well, he had the genetic part right, but I don't believe it was her liver to begin with.  As a child she was strong and breezed by her childhood diseases with only slight symptoms.  She was born before World War 2 on a farm, so she had great home grown food, lots of unfortified wheat that her mom made into homemade bread, noodles and many other things.  She was a teenager when the government started fortifying wheat.  Then the there was the Penicillian episode which I am sure weakened her liver too.

One month after her hospitalization for the hepatic coma my mom was back in the hospital with kidney failure.  The doctor said because mom's liver was functioning very poorly, she was not getting the nutrition she needed and she was starving to death.  When someone is starving their kidney's shut down.  So medically her case was hopeless and she died in a few days.  That was the end of mom's struggle with anemia that had caused her many health problems in her life.  Anemia can be like a snowball rolling down a hill, one thing leading to another.

  

I was so sad at my mother's death.  I was still in my twenties and single and felt like I needed her so much.  She was my friend and source of emotional support during the lonely years.  It was so hard to loose her but God helped me through it all.  I learned a lot from her death and it gave me a window into my own health.  In my 30's I began to have struggles with colds and bronchitis hanging on way to long.  So I began taking a garlic supplement and that helped a lot.  I tried to get my rest and I was not having kids, so that did not drain my system.  I did not take birth control pills as I was not married and I was following the Lord.  I found out that birth control pills blocks the assimilation of iron.  I did not drink alcohol which also inhibits iron and folate assimilation.  I ate good as my folks had made sure us kids ate well with a good balance of fruits and vegetables, good meat and carbs.  I didn't drink a lot of soda or coffee.  Soda robs your system of calcium and coffee blocks iron assimilation.  So I was doing pretty good but I was aging and consuming fortified foods with folic acid and taking multivitamins with artificial folate in it.  So I noticed how I got tired a lot easier.  After Rich and I married, I was 42 and I wanted to have a baby really bad.  For 2 years I kept hoping and at 44 1/2 I became pregnant and then miscarried 2 months later.  I was heart broken.  Fourteen months later I became pregnant with our Mary girl.  I was so very tired, diagnosed with anemia.  The iron they prescribed made me feel so horrible and even more tired, I took very little of it.  I did keep taking the garlic supplement though!  With the grace of God I made it through and Mary was born healthy with no defects.  What a miracle that was.  I will always be grateful for that.  I knew I wasn't just lucky, but God had helped me against all the odds.

Just in the last year, I have become aware of my genetic condition and am in awe of how God helped me through it all.  I have learned so much through all of this.  I share this story, to maybe help someone in some way.  If you have some trouble with your health maybe just tiredness, infertility, miscarriage or autoimmune disease or even cancer.  I would urge you first and foremost to serve and trust God with all your heart, secondly have a genetic test done to see if there is something foundational happening in your body make up.  If you have the MTHFR gene mutation as I have, do some diet changes.  Try to stay away from all the folic acid in food and vitamins.  Try making a lot of your own food with unfortified (organic) flour and grow a garden if you can.  Drink lots of water, take a garlic supplement if you can as it if helps with methylation.  Don't drink alcohol and limit your perscription drug intake if possible.  Make sure you get good rest and don't over do.  These things can make an big difference in your health and I can testify that in my own life.  I know the Lord holds our life in His hands and we will live as long as he determines.  So, I am not thinking that I will live to be 120 but I know I have a calling and that is to be a wife and mother and I am older now, 57.  So God has given me some knowledge to help me to accomplish His calling in my life.  All the things that are beyond me, I know He will help me with and even bring a miracle if necessary so that I can finish the race.  I pray that this will in some way help someone, not to beat themselves up with the past, but help them with a better quality of life in the future.
