OCTOBER 31ST

Halloween
As an American I do not celebrate many holidays of other nations, mostly because they mean nothing to me; to American national heritage. Just as I would guess independence day isn't so well celebrated in England, the day the cardinals won the world series by the many teams they have beaten or the conquering of Ethiopia to Mussolini by the Ethiopians.

Hypothetically...
Let's say you are a Jew in Hitler's Germany. The Nazis have sworn to destroy you and your kind. Let's say each year they celebrate the day they enrolled the Hitler youth. Every year They celebrate this with dressing as Hitler youth with swastika badges and candy given to everyone. As a Jew who has watched the Nazis burn, cage and destroy your family and relatives, would you celebrate this day with them? It is just dressing up and enjoying candy; no harm done. but would you celebrate with your enemy? Would you celebrate separately from your enemy in a different fashion?

Christians, we are in a war. Let's not join in celebrating a day that centers on our enemy, seemingly devised by our enemy. A day Certainly not promoting the love and life of our king. instead celebrate our king everyday.

P.s. If you have any left over candy send it my way.

GODISNOWHERE

Do  I "believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. .. mystical energy field control(ing) *my* destiny" ? Actually after 30 years of belief I sometimes ask myself this question-still. Even after having multiple metaphysical encounters and too many "coincidences" that have worked in my favor. After knowing that creation, entropy, the laws of nature, the multifaceted aspects of humankind are by grand design and that these effected by people speaking, people praying, and acts that should have no effect on them, do indeed effect them; I sometimes wonder can this be true (although brought up in a post-modern world, i do in fact believe that there is truth).

It happened again the other day, I was reading a passage in the Old Testament  of the bible something about the following: sacrificing your son, killing hundreds under the power of god, sacrificing goats, sheep, doves etc. and the similarities between what was causing the evil in the world and what was causing the good didn't appear so far apart. But when looking at the New Testament it's almost as if the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus saved God from this comparison; these similarities. I, for one, prefer things a little more clear; seeing the right and wrong. It reminds me of the season finale in Smallville; the conversation between Lex and Clark:



It is, and would be much easier to accept God in the New Testament  without knowing of him in the old testament. I realize that the old covenant was only a shadow of the new covenant  One could see the battles and victories over the armies in the old testament as a shadow of the victory of the Christian over the devil and spiritual forces of evil in the new covenant. In fact, we often do; i know it encourages my soul, maybe my spirit as well. Someone told me, "like they said 'Saul has slain his thousands,, but David his ten thousands' you will be like David". I took the meaning to mean that I would effect many lives for good and actually just briefly thinking about it i probably have effected about 3,000 people so far, so 10,000 wouldn't be far fetched. I just have to wonder, did those tens of thousands of people have to die so i could be encouraged with a prophetic word a few thousand years in the future? I don't know the answer to that, but I still believe and trust in God as described in the bible.


Another thing happened; I recently came across this explanation of our world:

To Sum Up

There are at least 27 dimensions and rays, and 7 solar planes.  Each plane in our solar system signifies higher levels of physical and etheric existence in our solar system.  The first Ray energises the 1st chakra to activate the 7th chakra, and so forth.  Chakras are components of the aura (electro-photo-magnetic field in seven layer or auric bodies surrounding a human), and the aura and chakras interpenetrate the other.  Each chakra feeds into one of the auric bodies. The civilisations are seven cycles of materialisation and spiritualisation on Earth, which activate the energies of the chakras. "

Truly my favorite part of the above was the "to sum up" as it went on with a confusing array of created terms and figments of realities. Truly, people are looking for an explanation to what they think, feel, and see around them. I do believe there is but one conclusion.

In PSALM 14:1 it says"
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”

I'd like to say, that I am no fool, I know there is a God out there, in here somewhere. Lately I've been traveling down the highway/freeway at about 65 miles an hour and looking at the people next to me; the people passing me. There are so many of them, each of them know so many more people. Through my car, the tires on the pavement, i can feel a vibration connecting me to them to the people at the stores, the waitresses, the cooks, the robbers  the cops, the robbers and I see a world so large so many people, so many living organisms (sometimes i even sense the cats, dogs, frogs, worms, bees, the trees). The world is so connected in intricacies that we rarely realize or hardly fathom. I don't mean the connections that our internet, 3G, 4G, and social media have created; like most things in technology these mimic the natural world.  We are all so close; when we think we are alone. So close to God; when we are redeemed.

Certainly this post has done very little to explain or prove the existance of God here, or god no where, but it hopefully made us think about our lives; how we can impact each other; how we already do; why we do.
