CREATING the conditions for PEACE and FREEDOM

 

Job 26:2

King James Version

2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? 

how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?


This is truly a time for reflection.

What have we done for others lately?

How have we truly helped them?

Have we secured their freedom?

Or have we enslaved them?

Have we become part, and party, to oppression?

Or have we created the conditions for them to be free?


Much was at stake.

But president Trump, and prime minister Netanyahu, took that TOUGHEST choice.

To free the people of Iran, from the oppressive Islamic regime.

Or, at least, creating the conditions for them to be able to do so.

It has been 47 years since the people of Iran last enjoyed freedom.

This born again watchman doesn't believe the two leaders' decision was an "ego" trip.

Both leaders of free nations wanted others to be free, too.

They knew what was at stake.

For one, their political careers.

Their enemies were just waiting for them to "trip", and they'd be right all over them.

The risk of losing many lives, was the MAJOR concern.

Also, who would want to help in this pursuit of freedom?

Who would support them in their cause?

Who would gang up against them?


Fortunately, in Netanyahu's case, the Knesset seems to be in unison in defending their nation.

Because it's the Islamic regime of Iran which has sought the destruction of Israel, through the latter's many proxies.

No thanks to former president Biden who freed up Iran's frozen assets, which Trump "froze".

That was the VERY moment the Islamic regime got "activated".

True enough, very soon after, 7 October 2023 happened.

To this day, Israel is still fighting against her enemies.

And will probably do so, until JESUS steps in.


In Trump's case, there was never love for him among the militant Democrats.

From day one, they wanted him to fail, and fall.

And now that his government, and country, have been infiltrated by militant Muslims, and other enemies, it's become toughest.

Well, this second term of his will be spectacular.

He will undo what's been done by the Dems.

He will want to be the greatest president ever.

He will want to do what no other president has ever done.

To secure freedom for all, ESPECIALLY for America, and those wanting such.

So, do you really think he'll ignore suffering Iran's plight?

He was saddened that over 30,000 people died for their freedom.

He's not about to take this sitting down, and doing nothing.

If you know anything about Trump, know that he's a proactive president.


Seven visits to the White House, by Netanyahu, ironed out the plans both leaders needed for their countries, and for possible scenarios.

It's not as if it was at dinner tables, and all that.

Matters of this type can be expected to be intense, with focus on planning, coordination, cooperation, and precision.

They've only got this ONE chance to get things right.

Many lives could be lost if they overlooked something.

And both have been consistent:

They will lay the groundwork 

for peace, and freedom.


But the suffering Iranian people have to see it through.

They have to go out into the streets -- when safe -- and topple their own oppressive regime.

They did that, even when it was unsafe.

And if you think that's easy, imagine going to a gunfight without a gun, which the brave Iranian people did anyway, at the cost of many precious lives.

Seeing the people gaining momentum, the Iranian government hired "guns", and "goons" to finish off their own people.

Imagine snipers firing on people below.

Other videos show goons mercilessly shooting at droves of people on the streets, even upfront.

Not to mention a news, and internet blackout, so the world won't see what's happening.

What's worse is the news we heard that they finished off those in hospitals, to the horror of the medical teams.

Ah, but the people kept fighting back.


So, would the victims have been more than 30,000?

What about those in prison, being prepped for execution, and those already executed?

And what about the reported 10,000 civilians literally blinded by the regime?

Can you imagine such brutality, and atrocity?

Would you really foster such a regime?

JESUS did say:

Matthew 26:52

King James Version

52 Then said Jesus unto him, 

Put up again thy sword into his place: 

for all they that take the sword 

shall perish with the sword.


Those who take up the sword to slay their brothers, and sisters, have to answer to GOD.

Remember Cain?

Genesis 4: 9-10

King James Version

9 And the Lord said unto Cain, 

Where is Abel thy brother? 

And he said, I know not: 

Am I my brother's keeper?

10 And he said, What hast thou done? 

the voice of thy brother's blood 

crieth unto me from the ground.


Remember what apostle John declared?

1 John 3:15

King James Version

15 Whosoever hateth his brother 

is a murderer: 

and ye know that no murderer 

hath eternal life abiding in him.


The Islamic regime's hatred for America, and Israel, are unprecedented.

Since the first ayatollah (Khomeini) first sat, both countries were branded "great satan" and "little satan".

Sure, both countries are not perfect, but whose is?

Don't we all have pocket wars, and civil wars, in our midst?

Are our governments, and people, perfect, and incorruptible?

Find one, and I'd be amazed.

Well, I actually KNOW one, little girl, but the rest of us are these:

Ecclesiastes 7:20

King James Version

20 For there is not a just man upon earth, 

that doeth good, and sinneth not.


Romans 3:9-12

King James Version

9 What then? 

are we better than they? 

No, in no wise: 

for we have before proved 

both Jews and Gentiles, 

that they are all under sin;

10 As it is written, 

There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, 

there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, 

they are together become unprofitable; 

there is none that doeth good, 

no, not one.


Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;


Now, this second ayatollah (Khamenei) perished in an Israeli strike.

In retaliation, his government sent missiles to Israel.

To top it all off, it also sent missiles to other neighboring countries like Qatar, Bharain, Dubai, UAE, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

To their shock, of course.

Oman, being the mediator, was spared.

Those missiles hit American bases in those countries, but also targeted civilian sites.

Thus, these countries are planning, and preparing, for retaliation, too.

Do we hear Trump and Netanyahu saying, "We told you so."


Those countries are now waking up to the evil that is the Islamic regime, which has exported its dirty deeds all over the world.

And that's one major consideration.

How far have their "sleeper" cells gone?

What destruction have they got planned?

Precisely why it wasn't an overnight plan to attack the Islamic regime.

There was much to consider, repercussions, and all.

President Trump tried peace talks THRICE.

He's not a war-crazy president, but he had to to what he and Netanyahu had to do.

They had to go to war, 

to save their countries, 

and the Iranian people.


The HOLY SPIRIT led me to the fact that Trump had a mission to do.

That's why he was elected president, and chosen by GOD to lead.

The mission?

To save America.

Then, help Israel,

and the rest of the world 

that wants to be free.


As can be said, he was the "BEST man for the JOB".

There was no other man who had the heart, strength, and conviction to do so.

GOD made sure this man got through personal battles first.

And that he would overcome all these.

That produced the mettle in him.

Surviving all those battles gave him that extra boost, and belief, that he had to outdo his first presidency.

With the additional four years in age, patient waiting, and biding, he was able to "map" out a better plan to save America, and the world, from sure ruin.

He had to destroy the woke, and DEI agendas.

He had to secure America's borders.

He had to put in competent people to help him.

He had to ensure America was respected again.

Well, he did all that in less than a year in his presidency.

This was a man, driven by GOD, for others.

And if people can't stand his ways, still, he got things done.

Just as he said he would, to the surprise of many.

His policies are BIBLICAL, just so you know.

And STRATEGIC.


As for Netanyahu, he faced the TOUGHEST task.

That of defending his tiny nation on EIGHT fronts.

Seven from outside, and one from within.

CHRIST's enemy has made sure this prime minister would be kept busy defending himself, as he was trying to defend his nation.

Like Trump, he was unbreakable.

So, I look to both leader's faces.

Etched on it are sleepless nights, and strain, but unswerving focus, service, strength, and determination.


At this stage in their lives, it's either "make", or "break".

In the wisdom of their later years, and experience, they would want to leave a lasting legacy for the next generations.

And they're not about to lose their country's freedom.

Neither are they about to abandon the plight of the Iranian people, or others similarly afflicted.

They must secure that freedom, at all costs.

But the Iranian people must see it through.

So all will be complete, and final.

And freedom will ring all over the world again.


Europe is quiet.

Except for Germany's growing awareness to the crimes against the Iranian people.

But France, and the U.K., with both countries not too warm with president Trump, and dangerously, and heavily infiltrated by terrorists, and leftists, are noncommittal.

So very predictable, really.

And then again, you never know.

Perhaps, Macron and Starmer may help.

This, as Russia, China, Turkey, and North Korea observe the goings-on.

Of course, these, too, have aided the Islamic regime.


We pray that the HOLY SPIRIT opens people's hearts to love, truth, justice, and freedom.

And most of all -- to CHRIST.

Who is the ONLY ASSURANCE of PEACE, and FREEDOM.

This, in JESUS' own Words:

John 8:36

King James Version

36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, 

ye shall be free indeed.

What is LIBERATING

 

1 Corinthians 6:12

King James Version

12 All things are lawful unto me, 

but all things are not expedient: 

all things are lawful for me, 

but I will not be brought 

under the power of any.


Do you feel "caged"?

What is freedom to you?

How can you know you're truly free?

How can you know you don't have "shackles"?

From a born again standpoint, here's what the Bible says.

Find hope, joy, and comfort from these verses the HOLY SPIRIT led me to yesterday -- for all of us.


Freedom is through CHRIST:

John 8:31-32

King James Version

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews 

which believed on him, 

If ye continue in my word

then are ye my disciples indeed;

32 And ye shall know the truth

and the truth shall make you free.


John 8:36

King James Version

36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, 

ye shall be free indeed.


CHRIST has made us free.

Galatians 5:1

King James Version

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty 

wherewith Christ hath made us free, 

and be not entangled again 

with the yoke of bondage.


In SPIRIT is liberty.

2 Corinthians 3:17

King James Version

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: 

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, 

there is liberty.


Romans 8:1-2

King James Version

8 There is therefore now no condemnation 

to them which are in Christ Jesus, 

who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus 

hath made me free from the law of sin and death.


The FAITHFULNESS of GOD:

Psalm 34:19

King James Version

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: 

but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.


Psalm 68:6

King James Version

6 God setteth the solitary in families: 

he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: 

but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.


Psalm 97:10

King James Version

10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: 

he preserveth the souls of his saints; 

he delivereth them 

out of the hand of the wicked.


What JESUS came to do:

Isaiah 61:1

King James Version

61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; 

because the Lord hath anointed me 

to preach good tidings unto the meek; 

he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, 

to proclaim liberty to the captives, 

and the opening of the prison 

to them that are bound;


John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.


What TRUE freedom means:

Acts 13:38-39

King James Version

38 Be it known unto you therefore, 

men and brethren, that through this man 

is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39 And by him all that believe 

are justified from all things, 

from which ye could not be justified 

by the law of Moses.


Romans 6:14

King James Version

14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: 

for ye are not under the law, but under grace.


How to use this GOD-given GRACE wisely:

Psalm 119:45

King James Version

45 And I will walk at liberty: 

for I seek thy precepts.


Romans 6:22-23

King James Version

22 But now being made free from sin, 

and become servants to God, 

ye have your fruit unto holiness, 

and the end everlasting life.

23 For the wages of sin is death; 

but the gift of God is eternal life 

through Jesus Christ our Lord.


Galatians 5:13-14

King James Version

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; 

only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, 

but by love serve one another.

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, 

even in this; 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour 

as thyself.


James 1:25

King James Version

25 But whoso looketh 

into the perfect law of liberty, 

and continueth therein, 

he being not a forgetful hearer, 

but a doer of the work, 

this man shall be blessed in his deed.


1 Peter 2:15-17

King James Version

15 For so is the will of God, 

that with well doing ye may put to silence 

the ignorance of foolish men:

16 As free, 

and not using your liberty 

for a cloke of maliciousness, 

but as the servants of God.

17 Honour all men. 

Love the brotherhood. 

Fear God

Honour the king.


One PROPER prayer for freedom --

Psalm 79:9

King James Version

9 Help us, 

O God of our salvation, 

for the glory of thy name

and deliver us, 

and purge away our sins, 

for thy name's sake.


as well as the prayer JESUS taught us:

Matthew 6:9-13

King James Version

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 

Our Father which art in heaven, 

Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, 

Thy will be done in earth, 

as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, 

as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, 

but deliver us from evil: 

For thine is the kingdom, 

and the power, 

and the glory, 

for ever. 

Amen.

How To Make Wise Decisions

Do you have an easy time making decisions?

Or is life fraught with difficulty over making such decisions?

May we simplify it a bit for you?

Such as after reading an important chapter from a book I was studying, and giving myself a moment to let the new ideas sink in before going back to sleep, a "thought" came to write something about decisions.

The "thought" said there were only two (2) decisions to make anyway, so I let the idea simmer beautifully in my being for a moment, even as part of me wanted to go back to sleep.

It was but 3:30 in the morning and I especially savored the longer sleep on Sundays.

But no, when an idea takes hold, when an important "thought" is born, there can be no going back to bed for a writer like myself.

The "thought" said that if we wish to make decisions, there are really only two important things to consider:

1. Does it bring you towards God?
2. Does it take you away from God?


Decisions that bring us towards God mean our decisions feel good to us and truly benefit all concerned.

There is no ego, no greed, no manipulation, no schemes, no worldly stuff, nothing complicated, only things of the Spirit -- only God and Love.

That which takes us away from God when we make decisions keeps us awake at night for our soul says something's not quite right.

Good decisions have God in it.


There's always love, peace, joy, gentleness, and kindness.

With every decision you need to make, always make GOD your guide.

When He created us, He gave us the capacity to love and even gave us free will.

He gave us our intelligence, our talents, our bodies, and our hearts.

How we make use of those depends on our own soul's growth and not on our personalities.

There is always the free will to change for the better.

We always have the option to love or not to love.

If we chose the path to God, then it's automatic we become kinder, more loving, and compassionate.

Choosing the path away from him destroys our self for we do not choose His Light and Guidance.

Every decision is always a decision to reach up to God or to turn your back on Him.

But how can one turn your back on the One Who Created you?

Unless you don't remember or acknowledge that He created you.

Well, perhaps it's time to remember that we won't be on earth if He had not created us.

It's really that simple.

I chose to get up and follow that "thought" to write this post for it was important.

Even as I'm far from perfect, God gives me that opportunity each day I breathe and wake up to get closer to Him.

Every thought, every word, every deed is an opportunity to make a stand about my own path -- towards God or away from him.

As always, I choose HIM.

He was that "Thought".

He inspired me to write this and I'm most grateful.

Making decisions can really be easy.

God has simplified it.

We merely cloak it with worldly stuff and we lose our way.

Come back on the path, sail back to Him.

The world will not nourish nor sustain your soul.

Only God will.

6 Things For a Beautiful 2019

A new year will be here soon.

Another wonderful opportunity to think, speak, and do better.

And while we're still at the doorway, we can assess how it's all been for us and see what we can do better this time around.

Every day, as always, is a golden opportunity to create more wonderful and positive things and to be kinder to others.

It's your life.

You must give attention to how you're living it.

Have a desire for God so great that nothing can ever dampen your spirit.

When you love God so much, you will also make sure others become know about Him.

What really matters most anyway in life?

1. That we love God above all.

2. That we know God's will.

3. That we believe in Jesus.

4. That we are guided by the Holy Spirit.

5. That we live by Scripture.

6. That we respect each other's rights.

7. That we love each other.


It's always good to stick to the few basics.

Doesn't make sense to over-think it, really.

But these are what always spring from my soul.

I'm sure you'll have your own "tenets" for living.

After all, it's your life and you ought to live it your way, the best way you alone know how.

I created this blog primarily for myself, to document my own life and thinking at each moment, and to help me remember stuff I may have forgotten.

If people care for my thoughts, I'd be so honored that you'll want to look into my 60 blog posts so far. That will give me the added boost to keep writing and remembering.

I've also got other blogs and loads of projects I wish to accomplish. By the Grace of God, I'll have the continuing creativity to do all that.

It's really good to say goodbye to the past and to greet 2019 with a new heart, a new resolve, a new form of creativity, and a more open mind.

May all of you achieve and enjoy all your heart's desire for yourself and your families.

Here's wishing all of you a magnificent 2019!

The Soul of an Enlightened Entrepreneur


Entrepreneurs live in the idea zone.

But Spirit-filled entrepreneurs, the caring ones, live in the vision zone.

They envision something that would help themselves and everyone on the most precise level.

They will shun many projects, offers, and ideas if these don't truly help people, even at the risk of having to personally live super minimally till they get a project they believe in, going.

They will not work with people who merely wish to aggrandize themselves.

That's not the whole objective of their work, you see. Thus, many people think enlightened entrepreneurs are deluded beings with no sense of reality, but of course, how very off-base they are.

Such entrepreneurs will not create products and services that will make people addicted to it. That's what makes them an endangered species in this world of ours.

Enlightened entrepreneurs are not interested in making a fast buck for that's pretty easy and yet can be soul-less.

Sure, they may sell everything they own in pursuing their vision.

As they say, they will sell everything except themselves, their families, their friends, and their community.

That's tantamount to saying, they will not sell people so they can reach their objectives.

That's why it takes a clear vision, a magnanimous heart, and precise planning to get work done.

He will work with what he has, who he is, what God fires him up to do so -- and will only create stuff with real value.

There will be no empty promises for that will not fill his heart and help others.

It's the hardest thing to do, of course, for the world style goes totally against his own style of working.

But that's what real entrepreneurs are for -- to think independently of others.

That's his personal DNA.

He's cut out for the toughest job of finding or creating that which will be of real value to people. His search will be relentless.

He values your hard-earned money, for he, too, works hard to earn that dollar, even as you think he's a careless nut.

The enlightened entrepreneur can't really sell you useless stuff. That won't reflect all that praying, meditating, visualizing, thinking, sweat, and the God in his heart that powers him so.

Not to mention his boatloads of "experiments" to get things done as he carves a path for himself. Every experiment leads him closer to his ultimate dream or project.

He follows every conceivable thread God puts upon his path. He may work solo but it's not really so.

The enlightened entrepreneur is patient, persevering, tenacious, creative, kind, energetic, dynamic, imaginative, awake, and aware.

The man's got "soul".

Entrepreneurs usually work for themselves because they work and think fast, plus, they don't have the time to listen to a bored...I mean highly-paid board of directors. 

The best minds in art, business, science, and technology know all about ideas that come from God, so they must pay attention. 

Thomas Alva Edison was reputed to have a ball in each hand as he sat on a chair and napped (for he napped often) and if he came awake, the two balls would fall on metal pie plates positioned right below those creative hands. I haven't really heard if they accidentally fell on his foot. Now, that would really jolt the dude awake.

The idea being he'd remember what that dream or idea was.

We're now full of light bulbs because of him. He turned on the physical light for us and that made us work longer than we're already working but entrepreneurs don't mind. We have a built-in Energizer battery -- we just keep going.

Expect real entrepreneurs to be quirky, crazy, lost in their own wonderful, dynamic world of creativity and magnificent imagination. A lot of them see what we don't see, that's why we call them crazy. Still, they remain at it, oblivious to all naysayers and criticisms.

That's really how they test the strength and validity of their own vision anyway -- if their faith holds despite the clamor they do something more "normal".

Translated?

Normal is boring for true entrepreneurs. It goes totally against the core of their being. They don't mind your calling them all the delightful words in your cuss vocabulary. They have a mission to do and that day is now.


Sometimes, they forget to live in the real world where people have to sleep, eat, and be nice.

They're usually off in their art and science world, communicating with God (if they're the genuinely caring and prayerful ones), or talking to themselves as they work out all the variables of an idea.

Not all are like that, of course, but they do get off course from the human mainstream.

They're like frogs you will not be able to pin on a board and dissect for they don't like being pinned to a board and getting dissected. They love their freedom to think and be.


Entrepreneurs are a crazy, imaginative, hardworking lot who can create non-stop.

The only difference with the usual entrepreneur and an enlightened one is that the latter ALWAYS creates with heart and awareness. He's got so much faith in God that he will NEVER ever knowingly create products and services that will make people addicted to those. All for what? Repeat sales and ROI? 

Nah, he's not that unimaginative.

The dude's got heart.

With God in it.

All the time.
