After I got my sadness off my chest yesterday I felt a whole lot better for life...
I went to the Y and swam, talked to a couple of liberals, came home and got a lot done with all the extra energy.
Late last night I received news that a dear friend had passed away in her sleep. I was shocked. Death came so suddenly for her. My heart is with her dear family, and her loved ones---and it will preoccupy my thoughts for some time.
Ir may surprise you to know (or be reminded that) I do not wholly support the Republican Party. I am a registered Republican, but more often than not I find the representatives caving in to things I do not approve.
Why should my opinion matter?
It doesn't, really, but I do not want anyone think I am a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, because I am not. I am probably more Libertarian than Republican, and I've said this before.
I believe in a MONARCHY---with the Creator at the helm.
There are lots of reasons to support this. Our Biblical God is a God of mercy and love. He allows all people to be free, equal, and live as they choose. His basic laws (commandments) are truly the most ingenious and brief rules for any society to thrive.
They are overarching, applicable to all human beings, and they are fair.
What can be so wrong about that?
Well, atheists seem to have a real issue. They are in denial, first of all, but they are nit-pickers, too. They want to tweak the law into exactly what they want----more or less---and thereby come up with the fallacy that there wasn't any law-giver in the first place.
But those of us who DO know there is a Law Giver, and a Judge of all mankind are accepting of Who He is. We may not like His laws, they encroach on our sinful nature, but we see the logic and the reason behind them, and we ACCEPT them.
When our children run amok we can point to HIS laws and say "HE SAYS...."
We, I, are/am not the authority. God is. They need to take it up with GOD. They are responsible for their own relationship with God, and we can only point and encourage.
I do believe in a swift spank for a young child who is willfully disobedient. One MUST behave, or we have anarchy. We parents are authorized to discipline by the God of the Universe, and it is ridiculous to think that something God sanctioned is wrong or ineffective.
Spankings should never occur in anger, and they should be swift. One slap. God told Moses to strike the rock once. The second strike was done in anger, and Moses had a terrible punishment from God for doing it. Think about that, young parents.
Yes, it should sting. It should bring humiliation. It should be followed up with love and acceptance and a reminder that discipline is HELPFUL. It is done out of love.
Government should fulfill the same sort of role on earth as a loving parent, but given the state of this Satanically-ruled earth there will be major issues. God give us a righteous government that practices reasonable judgment and much mercy!
To deny God is to deny reason.
THEREFORE we are at the mercy, right now, of a government that is unreasonable.
President Trump is a refreshing change from the last decades of pure evil in power. We know evil, because the Bible tells us what it is. There are zillions of examples of evil in the Bible. Any government that sanctions evil is, by definition, evil.
Trump is a sinner who is implementing things that are righteous. He is helping the righteous. The Republican Party Platform that he ran on is really a document of righteousness. It's truly amazing. The last administrations have given into wickedness, God's definition.
If you are cow-towing to evil powers you are then participating in evil.
Abortion is evil. Anything sexual outside of marriage is evil. Murder is evil, lying is evil, rebellion against God is evil...(think Bible bashing...)
There are powers ruled by Satan active and thriving here on this earth right now. Is Donald Trump under their power? Probably. We know that he has thrown carrots to the righteous by being Pro-Israel and Pro-life. Is he a believer? I certainly hope so.
Anyone can say they are a Christian these days. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
(I've got banana bread in the oven. I'm terrible at banana bread but I keep trying. It usually comes out as a pudding in the middle :(
The proof of a Believer is whether or not they believe God's Word. What else do we have? Nice philosophy? Nice theology?

Why do we persist in taming God?
We are called to have faith in Him, to accept Him, to love Him, to obey Him. We are called to believe.
Satan is in control down here, but God is in control of our lives as believers.
Satan is all about death. God is all about life.
Satan rules the hearts of men, unless they turn to God. Men have come up with all sorts of religions and ways to act godlike, or justify behavior. It's all a waste of time.
I love the freedom to obey God. I love the freedom to live as God wants me to live. That is true freedom, and it is the best freedom. Right now our government allows for this, but for how long? The New World Order so much talked about is just another ploy to be godlike and strive for a better existence WITHOUT the Creator. It is a society ruled ultimately by Lucifer, the fallen one, who has craved power since his first rebellion.
He still thinks he's going to win.
The Bible is true, friends. God has proved his love for us, has proved his Word is true, has proved that He wants us to serve and follow Him. Why would anyone choose anything else? Why would you compromise on the truth of Scripture? Why would you attempt to make a god in your own image? Can you really come up with a better god than the God of the Bible?
No. He is truth and reality, and anything else is simply imagination.
What else do you have?
Where else will I go?
Don't trust government. Don't trust religion. Don't trust personalities and philosophies. The Founding Fathers were all practical atheists, influenced by Rousseau and Voltaire, Thomas Payne and the Society of Jesus. They came up with a constitution and a declaration of Independence that referred to "God" in a generic way, and it was a good try at societal control. A really good try.
But let us acknowledge it for what it was! God has had His hand on our country, and we have had maximum freedom to live as Christ-followers. Even the Deists admitted that Christianity had its good points. (They weren't blind!) We do have a government that is based on God's laws, the ten commandments.
Let's not forget that we are at spiritual war, and we are always needing to be aware that evil forces are trying to manipulate any society to serve evil.
Don't trust in anything but God.

Who was this angel?
Gadriel sounds a lot like Gabriel, and these three (at least) all claimed their angels were Gabriel. Gadriel is a name for Satan. Yes. Look it up. Satan is such a deceiver. Don't put it below him to lie....
He's the Father of lies.
Fascinating things, people. Wake up to the wiles of the devil. He's been at work undermining the God of the Bible at every hand.
