Some wars must be won, although the events which occur between the initial conflict and settling of the matter concerning Sovereignty might not progress as planned or expected by some.
Every position, arrangement, weapon, and notion fixing, inducing, and tenetting an opponent's failure has a counter. All, except one!
During this author's interesting experiences with those of letters and degrees from well-respected institutions of the American academia, most have relied on the claims found among textbooks of sociology, psychology, history, medicine, and other highly fallible sources, drafted by men who could not master themselves, their personal behaviors, or quest for control.
If they could first manage themselves, then some level of respect would be merited! Yet, they spend countless person-hours and millions in direct federal funds, seeking control of others for fun and profit, aka Marry Morris.
Most, have trouble taming the wrest-less evil of the tongue! And, this often misplaced verse is a popular one among such men, whose goal is silencing those who dare contradict their opinion's motivated by greed or complain about their abuses.
When a person whose positive behaviors, exceed the norm of society, and has been well-rewarded for be a conformist, is placed in a position where socially dysfunctional behavior, with all of its negative effects, becomes his only option for receiving any social reward, these misused lessons from a discipline called "psychology" enters the realm of witchcraft, based upon scripture.
In fact, it can be deduced from:
For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from [being] king. [1Sa 15:23 KJV]
Those who work against harmonious communities for the selfish, self-centered reasons are rebellious.
One might consider this somewhat out of context. Yet, we all have a kingdom, whether it be ourselves, our families, or work responsibilities, or etc. Forgive the abstract reasoning.
After about a decade of being a "fool" based upon Proverbs and other scriptures, adopting a personal strategy for "success", not monetary, not social, and not material, seemed practical. Life improved a thousand fold.
Then, the author did what he is well-known for doing, he shared the strategy. Remember Priscilla, how well she was thought of at her wake! Well, try treating others well!
And, as usual, the author was admonished by the "wise capitalists and business-minded men whom he knows", if you tell someone else your strategy, they will start doing what has brought you success, and then you will lose your advantage. This is a "troubling" proposition. Dare, it be said that it reeks of abject stupidity! Especially, when one considers "appropriate social behavior".
A few began exclaiming, "He simply wants some 'help' with something. He can help so many others! If he is "sooooo" smart, let us see if he can help himself!"
Then, consistent with the profile of the handful of "knot-heads" who started this nonsense, they went on a "good-deeds" campaign.
Well, here is that help for those "simple-minded" who placed that feeble-pawn in my path! If, as some have done, the author had gotten near you or someone whom you would not abandon and formed a "virtually-unbreakable" tie, possibly, in the form of an addiction, would you feel that they knew how others should be treated? Would you feel that they were simply manipulating you or that person whom you would not abandon, so they might receive 'help'?
The most obvious passage supporting this is Galatians 5.
If "doing one's best at adhering with Scripture" is a ploy, then how does one account for the purpose of the collection plate! And, if someone will give and never ask for something in return, if he is deemed "weak" for doing so, does this say more about the "faith and conviction of others!" or is it a sign of the intellectual impairment which you claim that he has!
Look, if human laws, whether written or simple social mores, offset what is written in Galatians, then this grand country has very little hope!
This is the author's situation, he could be bankrupted supporting an international sin trade or ministries and non-profit charities, whether they misappropriate the funds or not!
The author noted the other day...Mammon is more enticing than Milkbones.....one can chase material wealth, entering a maze that they will never escape! The foolish feel this is how one properly handles financial rewards, "Give a person the gold, once they do what you want!" They believe this is control! This is the illusion of power embedded in currency! And, as American currency states, "it is the god of many". They seek more wealth, feeling that it brings more control!
We are all bright, intelligent humans..we can see beyond the tips of our freckled noses.. and our wallets, as such, the many cognitive connections should be quite telling!
Wealth can be intoxicating, as a woman's eyes:
The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
[It is] not for kings, O Lemuel, [it is] not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. [Pro 31:1-7 KJV]
The most important choice one can make in life, spiritual or carnal wealth.
During the mid-1990s while working in software engineering, the author shared a non-computing insight with a supervisor at a small, defunct computer telephony integration company. And, being a "well-known" part of a local network who seemingly gets a "kick" from trying nearly every "seemingly" valuable suggestion the author makes, whether it be a long-standing joke or a sincere effort at business, the author mentioned that he does not share his best ideas. These he keeps
hidden and never reveals!
Some of those surround the Psalm of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection of Christ. But, he and the rest of this community have very little interest in debating scriptures like the Berean. Many have read and can quote scripture, but it is much like that old HTML, it is only for fun and profit! So be it!
It is not an issue of being a preacher, proselytizer, minister, missionary, prophet, or any other manner of leader. It is really the search for an understanding that might better one's self, which is a start at improving a community standard, that is quickly decomposing in light of publicly available content across the WWW. Many will search textbooks, technical manuals, and any reference for the secrets of "quick monetary gains", but will not "peacefully" discuss the lessons of scripture.
As stated earlier, the author is completely "through with the lot of this world community". The deceit and betrayal he has seen occur in the lives of so many for the mere accumulation of wealth beyond what is necessary. Men who simply like gazing at a series of digits at the bottom of a banking statement, who are excessively miserly, and never cease defrauding others for more and more are a human blight. A rare few individuals in this world who have started in very oppressive environments, under the daily threat of imprisonment or lynching for violating unwritten social boundaries that are regularly crossed without censure these days, have risen through the difficult modern work environments, and reached a very comfortable lifestyle, have a luxury that they truly deserve. Others have not seen the same, lived through the similar situations, and have had quite an impact on this world while maintaining their Christian integrity, including those who sang with Wings Over Jordan.
Could it be that "satan" could deceive himself, in the labyrinth of lies and lasciviousness, he has constructed?
Seeing that satan is so incredibly recalcitrant that it has not considered repenting, it is either steeped in the fog of stupidity arising from the self-inflicted lie that it will conquer the Creator, El-Olam, which could stay satan's hand against Job, or satan suffers from a severe, irreversible mental defect!
It is often said that when a man lies so frequently, that he forgets the truth, he is guilty of one the greatest crimes against self. He told himself an untruth which he sincerely knew was a lie, and, ultimately, he dogmatically and wholeheartedly believed it. So much so, he would fight, kill, and die in defense of it!
The first truth one can reaffirm in his mind, if this doubt has ever arisen and, forbid all foolishness, has been spoken. We are all created! The universe is not a chance occurrence. And, forgive this rebuttal of the highly-educated, well-lettered elite within the philosophy of Physics, but the "big bang" measured in the 1950s might have been one the many cosmic Sequoia that fell in the history of a universe that is a sylvan full of many such events.
What are those unspoken "well-known" lesson? If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound? And, forgive this, if it seems, highly insulting, but occasionally, we, all of us, especially, "the educated" cannot spot a forest, although we are frequently striking our heads against some tree or another in search of the forest that we seek. Notice, the use of "we".
In summary, if the learning acquired through countless hours of study, whether riddled with the mischievousness and "normal" behavioral dysfunctions common in formal education, is only used in the pursuit of more of Mammon's mina and one's talents cultivated over the years are spent in the undermining of the principles of a healthy and harmonious community, so one might acquire more lucre, one is part of a synergistic cycle of destruction. So, enjoy the whirlpool ride..all the drains eventually reach the seven seas...!
What is your strategy? Will you follow it, if it does not provide a reward? Occasionally, all havoc breaks lose before the calm!
Forgive the seeming reference about intelligence. Many popular puzzles existed in the 1980s, based upon rotating the partitioned faces of a shape. One was the Rubik's cube. It left the author baffled for some time. Solving a similar simpler puzzle shaped like a pyramid gave insight! Once the four-corners were positioned with the same colored centers appropriately, then the middle-parts could be set in place, using a few simple, standard rotations. One day while looking at that old cube, the author paused and said, "Wait, can one reason from the approach used with the pyramid?" The answer was and is yes!" Forming "crosses" on each face based upon the color in the middle square and, simply, rotating the top right, then that side downward, twice, and performing the same in the opposite, starting with the top, again, and then the opposite side, twice, will eventually result in a cube with "solid-color" sides. Yet, it will be the darkest before the dawn before the solution is completed. If you try this, you will find that every square will be in its proper place, expect the upper right and left corner. They will be reversed. But, if one "keeps the faith", following the rules which made successful progress and nearly reached a seemingly impossible goal, he will see the cube's corners slowly and seemingly become irreversible "scrambled". Yet, after a few more rotations, every square falls in place.
Such examples seemingly infuriate some. The author's only response is "following simple reliable, rules is best". And, those living in rank hatred and bitterness likely will try exerting their wills over the manifestation of the "successes" evident from the implementation of simple rules.
When prayer and fasting results in a miracle, the obstinate, unfaithful unbeliever will snatch the very vessels from a widow's cupboard that produces a never-ending stream of flour and oil. What rule did she follow. Did she and her son have enough, although she did not live in a king's court, wear fine purple silks, and dine on fattened calves?
The author has been accused of being "so smart that it could result in his harm", especially when sorting through a tasks that another deems daunting. Well, the intelligence in born from this simple, abstract thought, follow this simple, reliable, rules of life..These are found in scripture.
Some say,"If I give and do not receive anything in return from that person, I am at a loss". Others say, this is an extremely generous and philanthropic view, saying, "I get what I want first, and compensate others for what I have gained, If I so chose." One can read scripture and decide which strategy works best. Let us reason...What is the most fundamental, abstract premise found among the Christian cannon.
Some say, "Those who freely give shall freely receive." And, if we can divorce ourselves from the carnal, material nature of this world, the boon might be a friendly smile on someone stranger's most miserable day. It might a ride for an elderly woman struggling with her groceries and believing that she is forgotten and unwanted in this world. Life is simple. It always is; cluttering it with the complexity of carnal lusts, simply ruins its simple beauty.
We all have fallen, at times, and have countless personal falls...but, the wondrous splendor of His Image in all of us, an reflection which shines through the countenances of some of the most wicked among us.
Compassion arises in the hearts of some of the most ruthless and unforgiving among us.
Saying that life's success comes following and applying "simple rules" is a matter of this author's perspective. The author has not know any real challenge or struggle in life. Some men have never known a childhood memory of a birthday party with a frosted sheet cake, with cone hats, cups of punch, gifts, and a squadron of hooligans and runny-nosed scalawags from around the apartment complex who would show up when someone said, "Cake!" You scream, I scream, We all scream for ice cream!
Some men do not have childhood memories of summer trips, shortly before another school year. Rockefeller, one need not be, for understand blessing such as these. And, in honesty, some might have never had a holiday full of presents, be they modest blessing of a new pair of socks, under garments, and tennis shoes. And, festivals with feasts of breads, vegetables, and meats are a rarity, if not non-existent, for some, in this land of abundance.
Seeing that the author has not known any "real struggle" that might make the distinction between just and wicked choices opaque or cloudy, forgive his strong belief that "simplicity" trumps, trounces, and triumphs over "confusing, complex, and convoluted" rigmarole resulting from deviating from "simplicity" in search of a higher understanding.
So forgive the author of this weblog, he has not really seen any true struggle or felt any real pain. As such, he is not "well-known" for complaining. This might seem "bizarre", based upon a few "bewildering" web-posts. But, life has shown those who should complain and are highly justified, in doing so, are quite frequently ignored. While those feeling the most, minor of discomforts have triumphant victories in courts of law and public opinion, when they were not sufficiently warned that placing a uncovered cup of freshly brewed coffee in their lap could result in a scald.
Enlightenment and simplicity are coupled as is wisdom and wealth! You might consider reading that past sentence a few times; its meaning might truly mend one's menacing mental maladies.
Only His Strategy is perfect! Simple as It be!
Toppling a single pawn will stay His Hand, His Wrath, His Blessing, His Will, or Predestined Victory!
And, focusing on a single, insignificant, non-vital position among His Ranks would be an "unwise approach". Consider this a snippet of "war-time intelligence"; It is rather humorous how satan's horde pummels, pounces, and pulverizes the least dangerous potent of His servants. How credible is a person, the author, who a "well-documented" history of a "thought disorder"?
The author's role is and has always been the equivalent of consistently run "fly-patterns" by wide-outs on a "rushing" football team. It completely frees the area just beyond the line-backers of any defenders. And, when the chosen ball carrier reaches this zone, the score-keeper can place another touchdown on the board, well before he crosses the end-zone!
Chase and tackle the decoy again and again. It is only a futile waste of defensive resources!
Shoot the decoy, if you like! Duck hunters would not recommend! Pine is not all that tasty of game!
So, you can choose simplicity...
It is the basis for victory upon victory in mankind's history....Many are misled by immediate returns on "wickedness"...
A good [man] leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner [is] laid up for the just. [Pro 13:22 KJV]
A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches of many wicked. [Psa 37:16 KJV]
The mouth of a righteous [man is] a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. [Pro 10:11 KJV]
A righteous man falling down before the wicked [is as] a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. [Pro 25:26 KJV]
For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. [Pro 24:16 KJV]
...
If it is a sufficient sign for those who have not yet had a met the Lord of Psalm 23, in his manifold description:
Herein rest my greatest crime...
My son, attend unto my wisdom, [and] bow thine ear to my understanding:
That thou mayest regard discretion, and [that] thy lips may keep knowledge.
For the lips of a strange woman drop [as] an honeycomb, and her mouth [is] smoother than oil:
But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, [that] thou canst not know [them].
Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours [be] in the house of a stranger;
And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
The righteous judgment...
For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. [Rom 3:3-4 KJV]
So, for those whose ears where itching for a release from your guilt concerning this author's situation, herein it rest. Yet, will you start helping those clients you are not hurting for a small fraction of astronomical international gross domestic product, from some venture or another, most likely spawned from a cruel sense of parody, but the ones whom you hold hostage in search becoming the largest or most "profitable" healthcare provider as ranked by some "well-respected" financial periodical.
Can we all faithfully Link-in?
Forgive me... more work awaits, that weary, anguished groan has not yet been placed on this author's Google Schedule...
A Bounty of Beatitudes awaits those who wait upon Him....
