“I’m not afraid to die”

There is something very special and powerful about listening to a person share their testimony. It’s one thing to read it in a book, or hear one give testimony publicly on stage, but truly of a different kind when you meet someone for the first time and they share how God has change their life.

Such was my experience the other day, as the Spirit led me to the local courthouse. He was a thin man standing there with a cane. He was maybe 4o yrs old. When I approached him and said hello, I smiled and handed him a card. This card said, “The free gift of God’s love”. When he looked down at the card he smiled and said, “Oh I know what this is about”. I said, “really”. He said, “I am not afraid to die, I know where I’m going”.

Then he began to share, as I stood there listening to him. He said that he had received Christ as his Lord and Savior a year ago. Then he went into his testimony about how that a few months ago the doctors had told him that he had only two months to live. He shared how that because of his past drug usage he had acquired hepatitis C, and because of his past drinking habit, together, his liver was giving up.

As he shared, such hope came out of his mouth. He shared how that Christ was the center of all he lived for now. He knew that death was certain at anytime for him, and that he was ready to go at anytime also. Each day for him was another gift from God.

Even though we know the uncertainty of life is always present, somehow we think we are going to be here for a while, don’t we? We know that death is certain, that is easy to comprehend, but when given the “bill of death” from a doctor, that would be rather final to some extent, wouldn’t it? But yet this man lived each day as a gift, and all the time knowing that death had been pronounced upon him.

It’s the same with us. Death has been pronounced upon us also. We just don’t know when. While we haven’t received word from a doctor, like this man has, we are certain to die. And, not knowing when, we should also be ready just like this man.

An old song goes like this, “Would you flee from sin and serve the Lord? He will soon appear with His reward. It is not His will that you be lost. Would you save your soul at any cost? Do you know the end of time is near? Can you live and die in sin’s career? There is awful danger in delay. Will you cast your only hope away?”

“Be ready when He comes. Be ready when He comes. Be ready, Be ready, Be ready when He comes”

“Take heed,watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming- in evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning-

lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.”

“And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” (Mk.13:33-37)

    We all need to stop subscribing to the lie. Contrary to belief participating won’t buy us anything.
    The voices in ALL our heads IS god, the technology they invented and use to control the universe and everyone in it.
    Until we stop participating in the lie they will have control over us. The truth is only children go to heaven. It is very noticable; You will know your child is on a spiritual journey. And when people fail we all have to die and be reincarnated::::We’re all coming back.

    Compelling people to believe “the lie” allows the gods to get away with behavior like the Conneticut shool shooting with no reprocussions. So many people with gross disfavor, like men, believe “the lie” is evil, and by being evil in their lives they are “earning” their way into heaven.
    Understanding the rejecting “the lie” would result in vulnerability and fear, thinking the right way important for a legitimate chance to ascend in a future life.
    Note the gods created elements which progressively tried to defeat this fear:::Xtian god, USA, democracy, union membership, affluence, stability.
    I shared the importance of thinking the right way. Understanding the gods did this can assist in this capacity.

    Clearly those who buy “the lie” would be men, most of whom are preditors who believe they are “earning”, and masculinized women.
    I don’t want to judge but these teachers appeared effeminate, a clue “god is evil” and “evil earns for you” hasn’t yet been employed due to their favor.
    Very similarly, hurting the disfavored to motivate to pray isn’t the only tactic the gods use. Many morbidly disfavored regions like the Meditereanean never experienced enlightenment but truely there are regions which enjoy this path and subsequent impressive numbers, far more than even those Jews in Egypt slavery “enjoyed”.
    Realize as time progresses and the enviornment becomes more disfavored fewer people enjoy the positive path and fewer even female charecteristics. 20th century developments like equal rights (workplace) for women made great advances towards the masculinization of women, yet another example of how the gods used liberalism to promote social decay.

    IN ANTIENT TIMES DID THE PEASANTS IN ROME AND SURROUNDING ITALY PROSTITUTE THEIR WIVES???
    Fuck you. Lowlife like JC.
    Before this technology was introduced Italians were ditchdiggers. That’s why those jobs paid a living wage.
    The gods positioned this to instill a hurdle, to make it just that much harder for those who failed during the transitional 20th century.
    And know what? Those people are the thugs filth among us, Raider fans. The shit in these bodies are YOUR children whom YOU failed, filth happy to hurt even their own parents if they think it will “earn” for them.
    And, like the paragraph addressing the issue, if there is an “up there”, yet an additional hurdle, the gods hand-chose clone host #34 to be that representative in case they are needed to fill that role. The net effect to the clone host is their 1000 year clock has already begun, hopefully away from Earth and the Situation. But god splays their fucking twat and lets wicked finger their pussy, so they’ll still get to learn from me.
    I suspect this hurdle is inevitable. Perhaps because they use me to absolve themselves of culpability they will wait until the Situation is over. But it will happen and represents a new hurdle, one you will be forced to face to have any chance to ascend in a future life.
    Consider this:::You HAVE to go through that place before you have a chance. Stunning clone bitches. Unlimited free cocaine. Fair casinos. Whatever you want. This will effectively eliminate any remaining candidates, because bitches love cocaine. This is not a joke. Delaying is costing people dearly. Think if you prayed after farming prior to 1900. All the wickedness you’d have avoided. Well, you have to ask yourselves what the gods have in store next, because it’s going to happen. It’s on their agenda and it just a matter of time.

    “I want to know why.” Conneticut.
    They had it coming. Now that shooter does now, so look for it again:::Like I said they’re planning the next one. Since he shot kids that’s when it will happen to the shooter, unless they have something special planned.
    As bad as I have suffered gratuitous abuse I’d still give the gods the benefit of the doubt. For Christ’s sake they broke my tooth to punish me for eating a piece of bacon. But as time progresses I suspect we will experience less equitable treatment, so have urgency in your behavior.

    So much destruction associated with the Situation. The gods use all prophets for temptation.
    Look at poker, how my trips to Binion’s was parlayed into Rounders. The rest is history. Just the beginning of sickness.
    Marilyn Manson is just another element in the Siutaion. There’s already a connection to heavy metal/Satan’s music. This one, however, is a clue about his “wife”, one which illustrates her history from a prior life.
    The put a bona-fide monster in the Situation. Unfortunately, since he didn’t committ suicide like they invited him to in “Officer and a Gentleman” now he has been introduced into the world of monsters.

    Make elementary school principles carry weapons. Train them and use them to protect the school like an air marshall.
    I like my idea better::::Education is so expensive reorganization needs to occurr, and one principle can run 6 elemenrary schools. If you insist to continue the way it is train them to use weapons.
    None of this will matter if the gods contineu to allow the Chinese to flood into the United States on these container ships. Both the Port of LA and Oakland are inundated, and being forced to educate this hoard ensures education will bankrupt the United States in the end.

    We must look at these Conneticut kids as preditors, perpetrators who expeeinced poetic justice.
    Occassionally, as in my life, the gods will go beyond what someone should pay and make it up to them in their next life. Considering the numbers (20) that’s probably the case for some of these children. But the gods began planning this long before they were ever born, before they died in their last lives.

    “Do you see any clues here.” Being introspective is a positive. Look art the loudmouth, obnoxious Italian shit and what little hope they have, what a disfavored charecteristic it is and who exhibits it today.
    Not to assign gender if one would they’d say to be introspective is an effiminite charecterisitic. And if this incident was an attemtp to demonize this trait the gods are moving towards the Apcooalypse quickly.

    Don’t be surprised if these Christian denominations somehow pay tribute to the Catholic Church, who began this scam in the first place.

    “Will he say this?” Good session. Verbal. Would I say this in public, in front of an audience?
    What will they do, attack me? Burn down my apartment? Give me biotechnology’s cancer poison?
    This is why they positioned in (company I worked for):::If I began to speak to audiences the gods will employ this tactic and trouble will result. Positioning this in was the green light the gods need to go off, no matter how much I paid prior. And they want my respect.
    You’ll fuck like a man. Nothing stopped you form ordering I get biotechnology’s kidney poison. Yes the gods can accomplish this with AI but then they’d have to make it up to the massive audience affected. Managing culpability here is very important.

    Pray then attone then pray for guidance and get the things you don’t know.
    Then they kill you and bring you back for the requisite tragic painful life where it appears you got just THAT cLOSE to ascending as a child but failed.
    And I suspect anyone (most) who went through the last century will require this life of being tested. Yet another hurdle you must endure because you fucked up as a farmer.
    Remember where you heard it first.

    Press conference where Obama announces a commission on gun violence arising from Sandy Hook.
    FIrst question from white man about fiscal cliff, and Obama fields it.
    Through his first adminstration he has acted on pro-gun issues, one of which was gun possession in National Parks. Obama is on the take from the NRA. But he has displayed his conservatism throughout, from being anti-gay marriage before elected. There will be no revelry cycle from this Democratic administration.
    Due to pro-conservative tax policy since Reagan’s tax overhaul the wealthy have been able to accumulate sufficiently for this coming day. Now they’re free to disavow their citizenship and walk away from the massive Nation Debt the gods created on their watch.
    Much like the gangsters reincarnated into Latino Raider fans, their reals were reincarnated as lesser life forms, and will be victims of what they wrought. Unfortunately, so will all of us.
    We’re all fucked. If I were you I’d start praying and fixing your problems now and not wait for anarchy in the USA.
    Time is running out. You need to begin praying and fixing your problems with the gods. Or don’t be afraid to die.

    Disposable Heroes, not quite sure what you mean here or what your getting at. But, I do know that Jesus is the answer. Jesus is salvation for the soul. First things first, we must be born again. Then change takes place. First in each individual. Heart change is available to all. Then, our actions change, our thoughts change, our words change. Change the world, one soul at a time.
