Our Daily Bread | “Have It Your Way”

Have It Your Way – Monday, Dec. 29th, 2008

It’s not Burger King but you make the choice just the same, and whichever one chooses, God will assist him in that choice. There is a law, a principle taught in the Word of God that would suggest that we can have some things our way. It can be compared with creating our own reality. Of course there are limits to this ability, limits established by God.

A man has been enabled to choose between good and evil, life and death, blessings and curses. Though man is not the author of either he must choose between the two. When a man chooses evil he is subject to the source and father of evil, the notorious devil. When a man chooses good, he is subject to the God of all goodness, the great Jehovah.

Here we see that our choices are limited – there is not an infinite number of possibilities in this equation but God has allowed and provided us with the choice between the two. To do nothing is to choose defeat and ultimate destruction because the attainment of goodness and blessing must be gained through warfare, spiritual warfare which can only be waged through and with the power of God. The goodness of God must be contended for. It must be attained by being proactive, assertive using rthe equipment that God provides for the warfare.

There is nothing static in the world. Evil exists in the world and its aim is to destroy all that which God pronounced good at creation. One need not give assent to it in order to be destroyed by it. Passivity and complacency will not be a safeguard against its destructive power. All things exist in a dynamic ever changing process, either being built up or being torn down. Because of the two opposing forces nothing escapes to remain static and unchanged. Man is powerless against evil without being aligned with the Almighty.

So, what a man speaks, he gets as he speaks blessings and meets God’s conditions for those blessings, he gets blessings. If he speaks evil he gets evil. It is not that God wishes evil but we must realize that there is real malevolent and evil hostility in the world against which mankind has no power to resist without the power of God. Therefore, when one speaks against God, God simply withdraws His goodness from him and leaves him subject to that malevolence.

Well, you might say that all you have had is bad luck or that nothing works for you, or, if it were not for bad luck I would have no luck at all. This will only continue to draw this reality to you. On the other hand, if we align ourselves with God and His goodness and correspondingly speak the good things He speaks for us, we will then draw goodness to us, so to speak.

In order to attract goodness, we must be ‘good’ and working on its increase in our lives. This requires working the plan of God. We get better and better and stronger and stronger . God has given those that love Him and obey His commands great and wonderful promises. Work the plan!

Rev’s reply to “Brave New World” at Troubl.org | That New World Order

Brave New World

Written by: TROUBLMan

Buzzing through conspiracy circles are claims that the current world financial crisis has been engineered to initiate an autonomous world government, othwerwise known as the New World Order. Financial manipulation, along with social enginnering, RFID tagging and mind control are a few of the tactics used by the Illuminati to seize control of mankind.

Whether you’re a conspiracy buff or a skeptic, know that British Prime Minister Gordon Brown called for a “truly global society” to manage the world’s economic crisis. “The alliance between Britain and the US, and more broadly between Europe and the US, can and must provide leadership, not in order to make the rules ourselves, but to lead the global effort to build a stronger and more just international order,” Brown said Monday, speaking at the annual Lord Mayor’s banquet in London.

Questions: Are we headed toward a New World Order? Is it inevitable? If not, what can we do to reverse it? What is Obama’s role in all of this?

I agree with the writer that we are indeed headed for a new world order. It is of epic proportion and beyond belief being totally incredible to fathom. Once the uninitiated become savvy to it’s intent the realization begins to become apparent. The conspiracy is hidden in plain sight. It is said that the best place to hide it is right out in the open. All the movies about conspiracy are intended to make it seem impossible, improbable and imaginative but it is here and progressing according to plan.

All of the little blogs I have written are aimed at debunking the tools used by media to indoctrinate, manipulate and control the thinking of the populace. It is far too late in the game to change the intended course of events but it is possible that with awareness and insight men and women might be free from the treachery of having their minds stolen from them.

One of the first levels of attack is to take away the hope of the people which equates to, among other things, taking away faith in God. There is a plan for a one world religion also, by the way. The end purpose is to make slaves out of the population who are dirt poor while there is a ruling class of super-rich. These trends are discernable and obvious.

The primary means of creating this slave mentality is the control of men’s minds. They control what can be said on the news, they engineer the content of entertainment in the media movies included. All of it has a message and a purpose. Read my previous posts to see the how our minds are systematicaaly being stolen from us such that we are controlled b media.

Insanity? | The People Give Up Hope

Have you ever heard that adage that says that you’re insane if you keep repeating the same behavior expecting a different result?

Here’s a little story that shows how this can be true. It’s a story about training elephants. Starting at a very young age, a baby elephant is tied with a very large rope. The elephant protests and cries and pulls against the rope but is too small to overcome the strength of a large rope. Soon the elephant gives up and accepts its fate.

The elephant grows and becomes a behemoth much larger and stronger than the rope that held it as an infant but it will never even attempt to test the rope again. It will remain in bondage to a rope that it could snap with one tug of its leg.

This may illustrate the power of what we believe. That old elephant had been taught that there was no way to escape from the rope. How often do we here in this new age world say that everybody’s beliefs are valid and real? We assign an almost magical power to what we believe thinking that we create our own reality simply by believing whatever we want to believe. Yes! Believe whatever you want. It’s a grab bag – just choose your reality. How often do we hear people say, “Oh, no, I don’t believe in what the Bible says as if not believing makes it not real? This scenario can be applied to many issues in life. We may get the benefit of wisdom and experience but insist that it is not true only to end up regretting our decisions.

So how can we say that we might be compared to that old elephant? We may have had stressful negative experiences in life and get stuck in destructive or limiting behaviors based on what I call “stinkin’ thinkin’. In so doing, we have abandoned ourselves to hopelessness and fatalistic thinking.

We repeat the very same kinds of behaviors and thinking looking for success; for things to change and never realize that it is our own perspectives that limit us. In reality, we need to do something different. Believe in the tried and tested. Believe in God. I don’t mean that we should believe in the establishment of religion but in the personal and real inspirations of the Bible.

Just like the elephant that believes that his escape is hopeless having been “tricked” into this belief, we also have been tricked into believing that there is no truth in God. It can be well said that it is a conspiracy to make the real thing look phony because fakes make false claims.

Let’s not be naïve! It’s time to get smart and investigate the best of life in God.

SOMEBODY ELSE’S MIND!

Odds are that you think that all the thoughts that occur in your head are your own. Much of what we are is a composite of what we have been exposed to right along with what we are innately. What we are innately is what we have inherited from our progenitors (parents- lineage). Have you ever heard the saying that “you are what you eat?” Dr. Ted Brower, a biochemist and nutritionist, says that because the pig’s physiology is so similar to that of humans we take on the physical characteristics of the parts of the pig that we eat regularly. Yes! He says that those that love certain cuts of the pig take on the very same physical attributes of that particular cut. Wow!

This can easily be compared with what we are exposed to in thoughts and words and ideas. We become like that which we focus on the most. It is said that if we hate someone we become just like them. Why? Because we are so focused and perhaps obsessed with them. Thus, it can be said that we are what our minds consume.

There is a principle in the natural world that bears this out. Consider birds hatched from an egg. They immediately identify with the first thing they see moving. They follow it and mimic its every move. We’ve all seen the biologists trying to save a species dress like the mother and mimic her activities for the new born birds in order to teach them how to survive in the world and not get fixed on human behavior which would not support their ability to survive in the wild.

Now, let’s look at human behavior. Human children have the longest period of dependence on the parents and absorb all that they see and are exposed to. Not only do they have the same physical characteristics as the parents but they adopt very similar mental and emotional characteristics. It is likely that humans never stop being impressionable and moldable for most of their lives. What does that mean? It simply means that humans are much like chameleons that take on the appearance of its surroundings.

People know these things about people. Brain washers and corporate mind controllers, using techniques of mind control learned in years of marketing research are brainwashing people who are manipulated into behaviors desired by the manipulators. They use graphic images, clever jingles, constant repetition of ideas in and through various media. Did you think that we had our “own minds?”

So, as we look around us, how can we be sure that we are seeing truth? How can we be sure that what we believe is real? We become identified with the realities that we are exposed to. And all this to such a degree that we can actually see contradictions in opposition to what we believe to be true and never give it a second thought. We can know that we are being lied to and never do a solitary thing about it. We are lambs in the slaughter house. They can do anything to us they want to do.

We must realize that the person we think we are is not usually the result of our own thoughts. It is most often somebody else’s mind; somebody else’s image and idea. To a large degree, we come into this world with an impressionable slate awaiting programming. Well, if that’s the case, who can we say we are? Enormous consideration, huh? We are a composite of what we have been told, how we have treated; what we have observed through that which has been portrayed by others. Of course this has significant implications depending upon what we have seen and been told. If those impressions are consistent with positive, life sustaining behaviors we are in good shape but if those impressions and portrayals are life defeating and life destroying images catastrophe follows.

Is there an answer for this dilemma? Of course there is! When we realize all these factors exist, we can allow ourselves to be reprogrammed by limiting or displacing exposure to defeating self concepts and behaviors and concentrating on, or even meditating on positive behaviors. This may be accomplished by trust in God! The first step is, stop being the victim and be responsible.

Psychologists are always attempting to determine what is normal and what is abnormal often with catastrophic results. They themselves cannot help but be doubtful and conflicted in many cases. But where is the real answer? I submit to you that what is normal is found in the original creation of mankind in his state of innocence. This is normal and everything else is perverse.

Let’s examine the case of Dr. Spock, a pediatrician who began to teach parents how to parent their children and he was not even a psychologist. He taught parents not to censure or discipline their children for selfish outbursts or tantrums stating that they would grow out of it. “It’s just a phase” he said. Now I image that black people were slow getting exposed to this but we’ve caught up now in many cases. He wrote books and changed the entire landscape of parental ideologies in the country. His advice was offered in order to protect the self-esteem of the children he said. He was very popular among many people in this country.

To make a long story short, after a generation of children grew up, Dr. Spock when confronted with his own spoiled children, publicly recanted and said that he had been wrong. He said that he could not stand spoiled children after polluting generations of children. He died soon after. It matters what one believes in. Every belief is not conducive to good health and longevity. Every belief is not right. Some beliefs are deadly lullabies intended to be deceptive and destructive.

Like those baby birds that follow the first thing moving, disaster looms big if they should happen not to have benefit of the parent bird to emulate but happen to see humans when they arrive in this world. They identify with those humans and cannot exist as they were meant to exist as adult birds. Unfortunately, there is no known recovery for the birds so impressed. There is, however, every hope for the ever impressionable human who opens his heart to real truth from the most reliable source there is. Jesus Christ!

It’s a matter of trust! I am so glad I learned to trust Him. Let me be a bit more honest. My trust is not perfect yet. I should rather say I am learning to trust Him more each day. Actually, I am kind of a hard case and they say a hard head makes for a soft behind. I am frequently compelled to sit very gingerly. The bottom line is that my Father in heaven is much more of a father to me than my earthly father. I’m glad about what I becoming. The bible is clear that there is a plan to change our course, change our minds and hearts and to make us glad about what we are. One expression of this process is:

2 Cor 3:16-18
Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. NKJV

The Bible also says that we must come to God as little children. Children are especially impressionable and trusting. AS those children observe God in Jesus Christ they become chips off the old block. They become just like Jesus. Jesus is so wonderful to look at. He is my hero.

It is very possible to become brand new. I’m on my way. Want to come? I am being born again step by step and day by day.
