 Gotten A Hold Of!
 

Getting a Hold of God as We Ought! 07.11.08

I wish that these priests and others that I know could get a hold of God, or that God would get a hold of them!

There is a holiness and grace that gets a hold of those who have gotten a hold of the Lord in their lives, or to better say that the Lord has finally gotten a hold of them!

To hear some I know defending the those sinning priests and bishops in the Church for their messing around as they do and as they even did when I was a little boy myself, telling me that it is okay, and that God understands, and that everyone sins, and no ones is perfect after all, and that the priests and bishops messing around as they do and as they did even when I was a little boy growing up in the Church, and defending them saying that they are only human after all! That is all wrong and priests and bishops ought to be holy as the Lord they claim to know and serve is holy, and if they had God’s grace in their lives as they should have, wearing His robes and their collars, proclaiming themselves to be His servants and our leaders, then they would be holy as they ought to be, and they would not be messing around as they do!

When I was a boy and their were priests interested in me sweetly and ‘romantically’, telling me that is was all okay with the Lord and that God did not mind, and that no one is perfect, and all gets forgiven that we do in the Confessional or in Reconciliation… even going in ‘the sacred box’ with the same priest who can forgive you for being messed around with by him and his own special boy-lover until the next one, until the next little boy-lover that he falls in-live with! But I failed those priests because I wanted to be holy even as a boy, even as a little Christian boy growing up reading my own Bible and walking with Jesus and loving Him as my Saviour and as my dedication!

Unlike some who would think it is all okay to mess around, I could not bring myself to feel that it would be okay with God and that Jesus understands if one serves together at the Altar, Altar boy and his priest, and then go off afterwards to the Rectory and mess around and be his little boy-lover!

Now have I ever sinned and needed to confess it, repent and be forgiven? Haven’t most people sinned and fallen short of the glory of God? And the very Bible declares us all sinners, even those who have not sinned in the similitude of Adam and Eve; so that we are all shut up under sin and must repent and be saved! But now that one is saved, grace allows one who is now saved to also walk in newness of life and to live a life of practical holiness! So no one who is saved would practice messing around as many of our priests and bishops in the Church still do even after the Great Embarrassment of being caught and sued! They do not feel sorrow that leads unto repentance for their messing around but they are actually all surprised and bewildered that the laity and ex-Church members and non-Catholics do not understand that they are only humans with needs just like everyone else?!

And Abortion is a real problem in the Church, for some because of the sacredness of human life, while for some of our leaders and clergy and others it is because they are always in need of fresh ‘lovers’ to satisfy their lusts and sexual needs in every new generation of “Christian” perverts and their child-lovers! So the true Sacrifice of the Mass is not the Communion of the Body and Blood of Jesus, but the sacrifice of little innocent boys and girls to the lusts and sexual appetites of our “Christian” leaders!

Truly my friends, it is like sending innocent lambs to the proverbial sacrifice every generation! And it is not just in the Roman Catholic Church that these things continually happen! But also in the Eastern Orthodox Church, and among Protestants, Pentecostals, Evangelicals and among the Independent churches and their ministries and even among the Charismatics as well! And in secular institutions, like public schools and among clubs for children and youth, like the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts and Buckaroos and Royal Rangers, and etc… etc…!

For my views on these things and similar matters, I am called things and accused of being “a holier than thou!” and “Mr. Perfect!” and “a holy roller!” and even worse things than that has been said to me and even done to me to punish me for being the kind of Christian that I believe Jesus wants as His followers!

I have been drugged, robbed, nearly sold into slavery, poisoned, beaten, used for target practise by those who were laughing like heinous… (Galatians 6:17)… and I have been rescued and sent across country in secret and under protection for my own safety and to start a new life here where I live now, and now the city next to ours is burning down and now our air is bad, and that all certainly lacks in the feeling of safety for life and security right now aye? But I am not too frightened about that. And our state Governor has been around of late, declaring “States of Emergency” as well!

People who know me like to tease me about knowing what the ill-effects of being fed d-Con and Antifreeze are! But I do not respect those who joke about such personally traumatic things! When spiritual leaders and pastors of other churches want to hang out and joke about your personal traumas and ruined physic and permanent brain damage that you now have to sadly live with, and then say things like “I know that you have been through a lot in your life and ministry; but why are you so eccentric… I want to know?”
I simply get so offended! And I now find that I can no longer tolerate such stupidity on others! I was even part of a weekly Bible and Prayer group of various kinds of Christians that met weekly, and when the all agreed and told me that God wanted me to return to where those people who made me a living martyr have their Meth and Slavery-making syndicate located, walk up and knock on their main door and tell them that I love them and forgive them for what they did to me! And all that even though I was rescued from them, was taken to hospital, then to a home in secret and cared for and after about three weeks, was shipped out to where I am now, and under protection for my own safety!
People just don’t seem to get reality very well these days do they?

And listen to this! When I arrived here, there was a man who was in a local Meth gang who the ‘Queen Bee’, the woman running things, had nearly had beaten to death for her imaginations about the man who was part of her own Meth gang, because that is how messed up those people on Meth and dealing it, and robbing and murdering people are! So messed up that they will gang up on their own friend and gang member for imagined reasons, and almost murder him!

And all I was doing when I got martyred by a drug gang in the syndicate was be a local clergyman teaching their children what they needed to know to be Confirmed in the Church! And that which they had asked me to do as well anyway! I had done nothing wrong!

The writer of Hebrews tells us that Jesus learned righteousness by the humility of the things that He suffered, and all that so that He could become holy enough to be the sacrifice for our sins… leaving us all an ensample of how to live for ourselves… through the perfection of our own suffering!

So for me being who I am now by suffering and knowing God’s grace to live a holy life and not to want to mess around in sin, like that aversion therapy some doctors offer to treat and to cure their patients of their unhealthy urges, I have learned to say “Yes!” to God!” and daily I am saying “No!” to sin’s temptations by the grace of God and by my own personal sufferings in life and in the ministry!

And now I wish that these priests and others that I know that are still messing around and not even realizing how wrong what they are doing is, could get a hold of God, or that God would get a hold of them as He has certainly gotten very much a hold of me!

(Philippians 2:12-18; Hebrews chapter 5 and 10:26-39 and chapter 12; Galatians 6:17)

But and yet there are those who know all this about me and about Jesus, and yet they still mock me seeking to add more sorrow to my pain life as a Christian follower of Jesus, and among them, are many who also claim to be and refer to themselves as “Christians” themselves! But their own lives and practises only mock Jesus and the words that He preached! And there is even an evil mad woman in her sixties who became angry with me when she found out that I was not interested in her, or that I do not believe in fornicating with anyone, female or male, and that my own suffering as a Christian, in life and in my longtime ministry efforts (though I was quite ineffectual in my outreach to and among drug thugs, murderers, enslavers and the syndicate, and I am both sad and angry about that issue!) has become very much my own ‘aversion therapy’ to help me to say “No!” to sin and its temptations, but “Yes!” to a holy God! This woman I tell you about complaining, has the spirit of Jezebel who seeks to destroy the holy prophets of God as well as to lead and teach the once people of God to live in unrepentant sin as well as to use drugs happily and without the fear of spiritual or moral condemnation! (Revelation 2:20-23 and the whole story of Queen Jezebel is in1 Kings 16:29 through 2 Kings 9:37)

It is sad that in all the churches where the Word of God is regularly read, as in ancient times, it is not fully understood, nor is it mixed with Faith! Therefore many still go regularly enslaved to serve the vile Queen Jezebel’s false gods all of their earthly lives, and those who refuse to serve ‘the Baals’ with them who are deceived are everyday murdered as martyrs for their faith and for their true service and holy virtue unto the LORD!

So knowing all of this, I pray that you not follow ‘the Baals’ with vile Jezebel who slew all of God’s true priests in the Temple of the Lord, then setting up her own priests to serve who false gods that she installed in God’s holy House, she then turned her wrath to seek out and to martyr all of God’s holy prophets who spoke in the name of the LORD… even seeking out to slay holy Elijah the man of God! But I pray that you get a hold of God in the name of Jesus, and allow Him to then get a hold of you, reforming you once again into the holy image of God that we are and were all meant to be from ancient times!

Amen, and Amen, and Amen! So be it! Shalom to the true people of God, Jews and Gentiles alike, who have been reborn by the very Holy Spirit of God and water baptized to follow Jesus the All Holy and Sovereign Lord and Son of God the Father! And Amen!

 LOGOS!
 

St. John 1:1-18 (ASV modified) “LOGOS”

1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2. The same was in the beginning with God.
3. All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5. And the light shines in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
6. There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7. The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.
8. He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness of the light.
9. There was the true light, even the light which lights every man, coming into the world.
10. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
11. He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.
12. But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13. who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
15. John bears witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.
16. For of his fullness we all received, and grace for grace.
17. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

In the beginning was the Logos (Greek for “Word” which means both the ‘force’ that created as well as holds all the cosmos together!), that is who Jesus, the Son of God is!

There was this Greek philosopher living Egypt in Alexandria I understand, one hundred years before Jesus was born, when the Greeks had a colony in Egypt, named Alexandra.

When the precious Apostle St. John wrote his version of the Gospel about Jesus, he borrowed the Greek philosophical idea about a force that both created and holds the cosmos together called “Logos” to both explain and teach about Jesus!

I have known this since I was a boy and like so many things that I know about the Bible and about Jesus and His first followers, it would be a blessing to be able to teach and to explain these things to others to both bring people into the Faith as well as to bring people to spiritual maturity in the Faith.

Maranatha! O Lord Come Soon! Amen, so be it! Shalom, peace and blessings! <><

 I Miss The San Francisco Bay Area!
 

We are not on this earth to simply conquer others!

People always act and speak from what is on the inside of them, what is in their thoughts and from their own desires.

And we are not here to bend or to break others to do our will!

When I lived in Berkeley and even went to school there, I saw all kinds of people, thinking and doing things their own way, and whatever they thought, they kept as their own thoughts, and everyone thought their own way, and café life and anywhere else that people associated at, they all seemed to be their own persons, whatever their thoughts or personalities or personal philosophies were… everyone mostly all seemed to be getting along? The Haight-Ashbury seemed to be the same way? But anywhere else in the Bay Area where those from the outskirts of ‘normal’ areas and suburbs were inside the city doing the day, part of the businesses and corporations downtown, their way of thinking and doing things was the way things and their employees all had to think just like they did, or if they deviated in anyway to be their own persons or to have their own thoughts and personal lives, then it was the employer’s way or the proverbial highway!

A person could work for Western International Media from Sunset Boulevard out of Los Angeles California and on Pacific Avenue in a building that used to be one of the wild houses from the old wild and roaring days of San Francisco when the types of May West were there, and your manager, who is from the ‘burbs’ outside of the city proper, and she shows up in your office and at your desk telling you that she does not approve of your lifestyle and other critiques, even making you feel threatened to lose your own position there if you cannot conform to the way that she thinks and does things from where she is from outside of the city proper, and all the time while you are trying to convince her that you have no “lifestyle” but are simply a “couch potato” hanging out at home most of the time! And all the while it seems that she is making good on her almost unspoken threat by letting staff members go and replacing them more and more with her friends and family members from where she lives and commutes in from outside of the city proper… in one of the more conservative areas of California where the folks mostly all seem to vote and think like Conservatives and Republicans?

And then one day your position and another position is consolidated and you are out pounding the pavements of downtown San Francisco looking for a new “career” position!
And all the while people that are not as educated as you are or as socially-minded or as travelled are asking you in your interviews things like, “Where do you see yourself in five years?” Questions which to me, though seemingly easy to answer to some people, befuddle me… because in five years I am hoping to’ve done some positive things in the world that really matter and really make a difference in society and in the world at large!

Corporations are fine and one can have “career” positions there, but there is a world outside of those downtown ‘icons’ of wealth and of commerce where ‘real people’ are suffering and have needs that those with time to volunteer and a good income and spend some of their earnings to make a positive difference in the world; but corporate managers might consolidate yours and another position to end your “career”, when they find out that you are not “one hundred percent” sold out to only the corporation and care about social issues and the world at large as well! Or in this particular instance did that fact that your manager, “Mickey Taylor” from ‘Timbuktu’ also worried and fretted that you might also be Gay, though she has met some of your girlfriends coming to have lunch with you doing your time of employment at Western International Media (at the San Francisco branch office but the main office is in Los Angeles and at the same address as the fake address of the mansion that Nora Desmond lived in… in the old film classic, “Sunset Boulevard”)? I was thirty-something then, and I am almost forty-seven, which makes me “middle-aged” now!

I then was so many poor socially mattered things after that and to fill the next few years, including a trained Suicide Prevention and AIDS/HIV counsellor and other social concerns in the inner-city, and a another round of being a Missionary and Religious Social Work there and in Seattle with the working poor and the homeless and the kids living on the street of Capital Hill and the downtown homeless that we fed in the city parks, in the nearly constant rain, always suffering with allergies and constant bouts of Pneumonia and ‘Hepatitis A’ that I got infected with in casual interaction from working with the poor on the streets of Seattle, and my doctors warned me again and again about how ill I “really” was! But there was so much to do and so many people in need that I had to breakdown to absolute weakness and so near death that I could do no more! I only took heed to the medical professionals there because I could hardly move another inch!

So then I returned to San Francisco weak and ill to recover and so many people seemed quite sure that my illness and weakness and pallour of skin was really drug abuse related!
My old friends treated me as a proverbial leper as a result of my poor health and drug abuse looking colour, and like Job in the Bible it took little time to lose my old friends from my youth and become alone, weak and ill, under medical care and seeing a therapist for the resulting loneliness and depression.

And I founded a non-profit that I could run on the Internet seeking to make known the needs of the orphanages in the Eastern European countries and how to support them and how to send funds from wherever my contacts via the Internet were, to the physical mailing addresses of those organizations in their nations and countries! It was quite rewarding! But after a couple of years of having little, physical interpersonal interaction and still struggling to recover my full strength, I was invite to go to Wisconsin to work in the countryside ‘village’ an hour away from ‘real’ civilization to teach their children there their Catechism to be Confirmed, and to live in a little country house in their community and be looked after health-wise, if possible to recover? One day they took away the children’s study Bible’s that they loved and were reading, told me to stop blessing our meals and praying, and they stole my money, they also wanted my identity, and they drugged me tried to sell me into slavery! But I would not stop preaching, so they fed me D-Con and Antifreeze until my skull made cracking noises and I spewed blood from my bowels and vomited the same, and bled from here and there and was dying in pain! But one day I prayed to God like Samson for supernatural strength, escaped and was taken to ER and told I was in serious trouble! I was hidden by new friends, healed, sent to where I am now seven years ago this September!

I do not play games about things anymore! I have seen how dangerous things can be! And I am a different person now than I ever was before! People meet me and call me “eccentric” and cannot understand why? Well, wouldn’t you be different and more serious about the world, society and everyday life if you were schooled in my experiences along the way as well aye?

Now my prayer though is that I can find the means or funds to return to the San Francisco Bay Area, or my family home in Devonshire, England (though I have no direct living family living now and am quite alone in the world, we originated there, and I want to belong somewhere!) When I am well I fit in SF and Berkeley more than here, and the weather is easier on me there and more moderate as well! And I miss walking across the Golden Gate Bridge in the evenings and looking at the nighttime lights and views! I miss the Ocean, Ocean Beach, Seal Rock, the Old Bathhouse Ruins, and the splashing waves, the Camera Obscura, the Penny Arcade or The Nickelodeon (remember “The Princess Diaries” and the mechanical clown? That was The Nickelodeon!).

I watch the film “Vertigo” and others to look at the old places that were my proverbial ‘stomping ground’ in my youth and get teary eyed and am always heartsick for home!

I have some friends here and none of them get all there is to get about me as we are so different and even our personal philosophies are different. Even the way that we view spirituality and the Christian Faith is differently ‘flavoured’ in our lives, experiences and insights! People do not understand why I miss Northern California my home since it is filled with liberal thinking and “sinners”? But friend, all the world is filled with “sinners”! Some are cruel and vile and buy and sell people! And others are simply easier to get along with “sinners” who are nice and friendly and will smile and ask how your day is going? San Francisco and the Bay Area has good people and bad people and mellow people and artists, as well as some dangerous people, same as most anywhere else… but it as moderate weather, good memories, lovely art, architecture, cable cars, street cars, “The Underground” (and another subway system as well), and the SF Symphony and Play Houses (theatres) and views and surrounding mountains, and cathedrals and synagogues and quaint things and charming things and cafés and so many, many things! Bookstores and libraries and friendly people as well as everything else! And it is all only a step or a few, or a little, convenient trip away! Unlike here where nothing is close by or on the nearby corners, a few steps, or a little trip away!

Everything here is so inconvenient, and the summers are so crippling hot and the winters are entrapping and miserable! I cannot manage the hot summers nor can I do anything worthwhile during the winters here!

I own an air-conditioner here, praise God for it! And I live in a lovely redbrick colonial house that’s quite old. But back ‘home’ the fog rolls in from the Ocean there and ‘air-conditions’ the whole city! I miss home! I miss educated friends! I miss The San Francisco Bay Area!

 Spiritual Fullness!
 

Doses of Salvation Verses Spiritual Fullness! Isaiah Chapter 28! A Revelation!

Do you know that the Bible speaks of drinking from the wells of salvation?
So I see different kinds of ministries and churches as “Wells of Salvation”!
And many people drink from those wells of salvation and even seem to have doses of salvation? But few, very few seem to enter into the fullness of God and the things of God to me?

I often meet fools, heathens, pagans and others, some are kind and some are unkind; and I meet really kind people sometimes and some are mean, mean, mean! But whether they be non-Christian or professing “Christian” people, some are kind, really kind, while others are mean, mean, mean! And it does not seem to matter whether they claim to be any kind of Christian or any kind of anything… whether they be the kind or really kind people or the mean or really mean people? And sisters and brothers meanness ought not to be among any people professing to be “Christian”!

I grew up attending all kinds of churches and Catholic Mass and revival meetings and Vacation Summer Schools, Charismatic meetings and fellowships that were ever so worshipful, expressive and with great Bible teaching! I attended Eastern Orthodox Liturgies, Synagogues, Black Gospel churches and Pentecostal-Holiness tent revival services! And I studied the lives of the Saints and Church History and Theology, Doctrine, Christian Mysticism, Philosophy of all kinds, World History, Comparative Religions; and I have always found that being deep in the Holy Spirit and walking with Jesus, and loving Father God and being worshipful and thankful, along with prayer, praise, praying in ‘other tongues’, and spending lots of time reading and studying the Holy Bible from cover-to-cover and everywhere in-between seems to be the best way to go for me?

I don’t really fit in anywhere though, here on earth, spiritually speaking! But I no longer feel alone, and I suffer daily persecutions, meanness and tribulations that I no longer take the time to en-numerate! I mean many people truly and sincerely hate me, and I get spit on, cursed out, threatened, and my belongings stolen, and my efforts despoiled! And when I shout and preach, I preach and shout like an old-time Pentecostal or a present day Black Gospel Christian!

My politics are “Social” and I do not believe in neglecting the poor, and I believe in housing the homeless and in feeding the hungry and clothing ‘the naked’! And I just absolutely love this “Original Five Blind Boys of Alabama”! Alleluia! Thank you Jesus my Lord! Glory to God! Thank you Father God, Thank you Jesus! Thank you Holy Spirit! (Now how do I here type a message flowing forth in the wonderful, spiritual ecstasy and euphoria of speaking in the Holy Spirit, in ‘other tongues’?) What a great July 2008 and the Fourth I am having here! And I mean to tell you about the hard to explain “Fullness of God in the love of Jesus and flowing in the Holy Spirit”! And no just the little doses of salvation that some people seem to only have here and there?! Now hush your carnal thinking and start praising Jesus as Saviour and Lord with me until you to beak forth in shouting, ‘Glory Alleluias’, and in His fullness of presence, Spirit and ‘tongues’! Shanda kanda kada kanda shanda ladada seta alah! (Praise the King! He is the King! He is the Lord!) Alleluia! <><

Anyone want to help me found a church that does everything that is right from all the churches? And is loving and kind, and is thankful to Father God, loves and follows Jesus, and seeks the fullness of God in the Holy Spirit? What would we call that kind of ‘new’ church aye? “Real Christianity” maybe aye?

There are many true Christians in the world, if only we could just get them together to work for God in Jesus and by the fullness of the Holy Spirit, following all the words of Jesus, and walking in love and kindness… wouldn’t that be grand folks?! But Jesus has scattered those who “are the salt of the earth” evenly everywhere to season the whole earth in His truth and love! So we cannot all remain together all of the time and have our very own ‘church’ that only we who know and love Jesus belong to, or no one else in the other churches and in the world would ever be saved! God just told me this while I was writing this lesson, revelation and message!

So His message must be preached and lived out in every church and in all the world, by those who know and live in His fullness, that some might per chance, by hearing and observing the Living Word, be saved! Amen! <><

Rolling on the floor speaking-in-tongues!

 I am a MadMan on the Lose! 07.02.08
 

I AM A MADMAN ON THE LOSE! I AM RUNNING AMUCK IN YOUR CITY AND IN YOUR COMMUNITIES! IN BOTH YOUR SACRED AND IN YOUR SECULAR COMMUNITIES ASWELL! BEWARE OF ME BECAUSE I MAY BE COMING TO YOUR NEIGHBOURHHOD NEXT! OR EVEN YOUR CHURCH OR PLACE OF WORSHIP TO SEE IF I FIT IN THERE?!(St. Matthew 10:7-42; St. Matthew 25:31-46; 3 St. John 5-11)

When I was in Stryker Ohio helping the Charismatic (“Spirit-Filled”) Amish to build a Christian school there with the contractors and volunteers with fulltime employment otherwise, I was working as a Missionary and had no secular employment at the time. So the pastor “Warren”, had a talk with the church council, and they came down during our lunch break, where we all ate and I was fed with the same food that was there for the workers, and the church council sat down and said that I should not be fed from their food, as the Bible says that “If a man will not work, neither shall he eat!” according to the words of St. Paul about those in the Christian Communes who would not work but expected to be fed right along with everyone else! And the other workers there, both contractors and volunteers with regular jobs otherwise, defended me and said that I was working! That did not go over to well with the church council or the pastor though! But I am thankful that in all that heat and sweat and toil, hanging dry wall and building walls and helping to install electrical wires, and bathing in the pond out back each evening, that those fellow workers, both contractors and volunteers with secular employment otherwise… defended me and continued to allow me to eat the shared food with them until the job was done! Praise God for good people like that aye?!

But every ministry that I have ever worked with or for, including Jews for Jesus and others; have always been oppressive and abusive situations and difficult to bear!

That is why I have my own ministry now, and since May 20th, 1987, when I formally incorporated and received my own ministry Tax ID number to operate under! But because I always received so little funding and even had to earn most of it that I gave away to the poor, and ministered with, I was told that I no longer had to keep up with the fees and filings and paperwork to minister anymore! I was told that most of the money I used was from my own earnings and I was paying Employment Taxes on that money to begin with, and anything else I received went straight to the poor and to ministry, and it was all so little that it was under, way under the legal requirements for yearly filings and operations fees and paper work! And no one enjoyed working with the poor for a little, none to little account of a ministry… with no affects of glamour or prestige anyway… so I could not keep very many board members interested in wasting their time keeping a small ministry to the poor going anyway… So I went about as a lone, itinerate minister…
And that has been most of my life and now I am middle-aged and always under some kind of dangerous health challenge year after year, getting healed of one thing before another demonically sent health situation, or stroke, or heart attack, and now supposedly MS is ravaging my body? And I get regularly investigated by those who do not believe that I am simply a poor, struggling and sincere Christian and clergyman as well as all else I tribulate through! Even dangerous drug syndicate persons have done horrible things to me along the way, and some think that that sound so humorous that their laughter and ribbing over it, and for thinking that I am surely am a fool and an idiot over it as well, their fun over this seems never ending? And I am only a joke to some and a loser to many others! And even the Church is ashamed and embarrassed about me! And the Evangelical folks think I am ‘weird’! And I am constantly being told that I am “eccentric” by many!
But I am only a “laughingstalk” for the Lord and a “Fool for Christ”! That is all! I am nothing evil, nor is my eternal soul lost and awaiting the flames of judgment, as some might suppose? To the lost and the carnal-minded who love the world more than Jesus I am nothing, of no account, or yet another person who has simply gone mad! But to God, I am saved unto Him, and bound for Heaven and there are many spiritual rewards there for “a loser” like me! Alleluia! Praise the Lord God! Thank you Jesus my Saviour and Lord!

Have you read the Bible yet? People like me are all through its pages! And there we are called “the sons and daughters of God!” as well as “the apple[s] of His eye!” Amen! <><

So give your heart to God, follow Jesus, be baptized in water, either by sprinkling or by dunking… the amount of water does not matter, but a changed heart! Ask for the fullness of the outpouring and infilling of the most Holy Spirit of God as well, and come be “a loser” like me, hated and judged as nothing and of no account, and simply mad, as I am!

Glory to God! Amen! <><
