Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus || Spoken Word

I received this in an email and it spoke directly to my heart.
I was raised amid religious diversity and it can be so confusing to a child.
My grandfather carried a stick whenever he walked.
To my child understanding, this was to ease his journey.

One day he raised that stick to strike a man of a different belief.
That incident stuck in my heart! Surely God is love, not division.
Yet in Jesus days there were three major Jewish religions, who fought against each other.

I believe God had a sense of humour when he chose a Pharisee (Paul) to preach to the gentiles.
Paul stood no nonsense and even rebuked Peter for his actions. Galatians 2:11-21.

You know...in Ephesians 2:16 It Is Written.
"and that He (Jesus) might reconcile them both (Jews and Gentiles) to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity."

So Jesus put to death, the hostility between us all at His death.
We are ONE body in Christ..With Jesus as the head. When we believe in Him.

"Stealth Jihad" Is In Australia !

Everywhere all over the Western world it's the same story: Muslim groups are growing ever more aggressive in demanding concessions to Islamic law and practice, and Western authorities are responding with eager submission, even when such concessions involve restrictions on long-cherished freedoms. And in every instance, the lamestream media focus public attention upon those who are determined to resist the advance of Islamic law, as of those standing up for freedom were the problem, not those devious scum that at trying to destroy it. I first warned you about this last year in my May 18th posting.

I've discovered the Q Society, an Australian human rights group, that's keeping track of stealth jihad in Australia. Their spokeswoman, Vickie Jansen, reports that "Latrobe University has its Muslim-only toilets and prayer rooms. A group of Aussie Muslims is campaigning for exclusively-Muslim prayer rooms in a Western Australia hospital on the basis that they need to avoid the idolatry that may occur if they share with other faiths." Ms Jansen goes on, "our public schools are adapting to a Muslim Perspectives curriculum project in which, among many other things, not just female-only swimming is recommended for Muslim students, but for exclusively Muslim-only swimming pool periods. Some public schools are catering to diversity by ensuring tuckshops are exclusively Halal." (Sounds like a resurrected form of apartheid to me)

The demands of Muslim groups all over the Western world for separate facilities are in the service of a supremacist ideology that emanates from the Koranic assertions that Muslims are the "best of people" (3:110), while unbelievers are the "vilest of created beings" (98:6). "Unbelievers are unclean" (9:28) which leads to the conclusion that Muslim should avoid contact with them. (Then tell the bastards to stay home from school!) Every capitulation made to these demands only feeds these supremacist notions, by the likes of the Muslim Brotherhood, which work directly against the principles of equal justice and equal rights for all.

Nevertheless, left-leaning, ass-kissing Western politicians are eager to accommodate these demands. Last month, the Deputy Premier of Queensland, Andrew Fraser, denounced the Q Society for fliers protesting the introduction of misleading and whitewashed material about Islam into Australian schools. "Modern Australia has a proud multicultural heritage," thundered dead-shit Fraser'. "This kind of prejudicial rubbish has no place anywhere, let alone here in Queensland."

So in Fraser's view, to advance an apartheid-like system that institutionalises the oppression of women and non-Muslims serves Australia's "proud multicultural heritage," but to resist that system in the name of freedom and equality of rights for all is prejudicial rubbish." (God Help Us !) That is precisely the position that Islamic supremacist groups take in the U.S. as well...and Fraser, like so many opportunist politicians eagerly parrot their line.

The Way I See It....there is a sad reality that such demands are part of the stealth jihad that endeavors to advance Islamic law in Western countries through non-violent means....and what better way to accomplish this than by playing on the West's fears or racism and bigotry to win concessions as a victimised group?

The irony here is that the Australian (and American) politicians who allow themselves to be used in this way are abetting the advance of a system that is far more repressive and ridden with inequalities than anything in any modern Western country. But they will probably realize this only when they themselves fall victim to that system, as--if it continues to advance--they certainly will.

Jackie Evancho Video - To Believe with Lyrics HD

This is so incredible that I had to share it with you.
This child has the voice of an adult.........
And her song is one of love and encouragement for all.

I have been away on a trip to visit my mother, its always nice to get back home.

My Time In America

I love thinking on my time in Rogersville, Tennessee as I believe I touched on some of Gods own country.
Our home sat nestled in the woods on three and a half acres, with squirrels, woodpeckers, wild turkey, skunk, deer and ONCE a black bear.
The most enchanting time was night, when all the fireflies appeared and lit up the woods like fairy lights.
The first time I saw them I couldn't believe it!
My fellow Ozzie friend Kerrie-Lyn, had a migraine headache and believed she was seeing lights.

Photo of our home towards the end of summer.

Fall came and I thought all the tree's had mysteriously died.
Can you imagine?  never having seen this before, I was mystified.
I don't like the look... its kind of sad.

We flew the American, Rebel and Australian flags..

Ray took me to Memphis, to see Graceland's.
My understanding of Elvis Presley, took on a whole new aspect with that visit.
I came to understand and like him. To me now, he was a caring, confused, manipulated man.
I believe Priscilla has done a great job of preserving his legion.

 One of our many visits was to the Devils Tower at Wyoming.

 The badlands of South Dakota.

Then winter came..
I was sitting on the computer finishing off my psychology degree on-line from Australia when the first snow fell.
This was another surprise to me...
We do have snow in different area's of Oz. However, I have only been there for a week or so on  holiday.
Living with snow was another story.
Because the house was warm inside and not cold, I didn't realise that snow was falling.
When I did, it was the biggest treat, and naturally, the camera came out!

And at night it was magic.

Our boxer Bruno,standing on the back deck looking out for deer.

I love you America, and all the people I befriended there.

BEWARE of a Root of Bitterness in Your Life.

 Photo of a Twin Boab Tree taken by Raymond Lindsey, outback Australia.

Just as the roots of a tree bury deep within the ground.

So do the Roots of Bitterness, bury deep within your heart.

Those Roots are revealed in Jealousy, Unrighteous Anger, Revenge and Hatred.

 A Root of Bitterness causes havoc in a believers life. They are plagued constantly by their own poisonous thoughts.

In fact that person, although they may claim to be a Christian, are not.           

And this is what the Word of God says about it.

"But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.  Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.  For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice."

James 3:14-16

Results of Bitterness

Just as we only have ourselves to blame for becoming bitter, we only have ourselves to blame for the consequences. Once we step upon the road of bitterness, we can only expect it to lead to evil. The destination of bitterness is hatred, cruelty, revenge, self­pity, hypocrisy, jealousy, competition, and confusion. In the end, a life of sin will not only be lived, but justified. James says it so clearly, "Where there is bitter envying and strife, there is confusion and every evil work." Bitterness is a great tool Satan uses to bring about the destruction of a believer's spiritual life and testimony.

What is amazing is everyone recognizes the problem except the one who is bitter! Bitterness blinds them from the truth. The only pleasure a bitter person has is to enlist others in their bitterness. Thus, not only does a bitter person lose their friends, but they are unable to make other friends. (See Proverbs 14:10.)

Bitterness leaves them standing alone. 

Never feel justified by your bitterness.
(The only justifiable anger, is righteous anger, like defending the helpless.)

Ask God to fill you to overflowing with the  fruits of His spirit.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Galations 5:22-23

 

I am Aware of Angels

I am aware of Angels and that is one reason I have written about them in my new book Shadows of Time.
In my story I give my heroine the two I was given years ago.
At the time I was going through a terrible stress, one I thought I could never survive.

Then one night, as my children slept, I lay on the lounge watching television.
Engrossed in the program, I was not thinking about the Lord.
Suddenly I was given the revelation, and the names of two angels.
I was told they were always with me.
Their names are Goodness and Mercy. 
Can you imagine my joy?
I got up and ran all over that big house.

They are not as depicted in the picture above.
Not at all.
Rather they are two tall males.

I am remembering them now because of an experience the other night.
I retired to bed sad and lonely.
Ray rarely goes to bed with me, and is usually up again before I am.
As many of you may realise, when not at golf he spends a lot of time on his computer.
He suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, it is a difficult condition.

Well, I was awoken about 3 am, by a loud whistle in my ear.
Its the same whistle I give, to attract my little dogs when they are up the back yard.
And it woke me up.

I know who it was, and I know why they woke me.
I needed to pray about my situation...

Did I do that?  NO!
My heart was thumping, and I stayed up for a while.
Selfishly I was thinking of myself instead of God, and I missed my opportunity.
So this year, I pray to be more aware!...more aware to pray when called.

We are not to worship Angels, they are messengers of God, sent to do His Will. 

Then the angel said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’” 

And he added, “These are the true words of God.”

At this I fell at his feet to worship him. 

But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. 

Worship God! 

For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

New Year's Warning: The Durban Bible !

Every New Years Day I reflect on the state of the world's Climate Change position. For many years I have noted the extensive use of quasi-religious language by climate activists. Followers of the hypothesis that man's responsible for so-called dangerous climate change are referred to as "believers"whilst doubters are often labelled "deniers", "sceptics" and even "heretics".

The public shaming and bullying of any scientist who differs from climate science orthodoxy is eerily reminiscent of a latter-day Salem Witch Trial or Spanish Inquisition with public "floggings" meted out metaphorically speaking for their thought crimes. Elements of the climate change movement are beginning to bear more resemblance to a religious cult than a scientific community. Dalliances with authoritarianism are never far from the fringes of the this metaphysical ideology. Environmentalism intends to radically change the world regardless of the consequences (at a cost of human lives and severe restrictions on individual freedom).

Last month's Durban Global Warming conference was a farce. It included over 14,570 "carpetbaggers" from dozens of organisations you'd never hear of otherwise, living on this gravy train, who came to settle once and for all a global strategy to curb carbon emissions that would reduce the world's warming (totally ignoring the Inconvenient Truth that temperatures haven't risen in 10 years!). All the major countries and the 10 Hollywood stars present succeeded in doing was to agree to agree to some 2020 reduction. Nothing was signed or committed to so it was a actually a dud, but that didn't end there. Now this is freaky. I've heard that the planet savers at this IPCC summit are working on a draft document that reads in part like the Bible of a new Green Faith. Here are the main points of this manifesto that are not just off-the-wall but are based on the obvious deification of the Earth (the Gaia hypothesis):

# A new International Climate Court will have the power to compel Western nations to pay ever larger sums to 3rd world countries in the name of paying for supposed "climate debt". The Court will have no power over 3rd world countries. Here and throughout the draft the West is the sole target. This Bible is irredeemably anti-Western.

# Rights of Mother Earth: to ensure respect for the intrinsic laws of nature with subheadings that have been written by feeble-minded green activists and environmental extremists.

# Right to survive: The draft childishly asserts that "people have a right to survive the treats and impacts of climate change, including sea level rise (even though the latest satellite shows the sea-level has actually dropped over the past 3 years).

# War and the maintenance of defence forces and equipment are to cease, just like that...because they contribute to climate change. Like that's really going work!

# A new global temperature target will aim to limit global warming to as little as 1 C above pre-industrial levels. Since the temperature is already 3 C above that level what is being proposed is a 2C cut which would literally take us halfway back towards the last Ice Age and would kill hundreds of millions. Colder is far more dangerous than warmer. Dumb and dumber!

# The new CO2 emissions target for Western countries only, will be a reduction of up to 50% in emissions over the next 8 years and of "more than 100%" (these words actually appear in the text) by 2050! So, no motor cars, no coal-fired or gas-fired power stations, no aircraft, no trains. It's back to the Middle Ages, but without even the right to light a fire in your hovel. "Renewables" are the alternative energy sources mentioned without one word of the need for rapid expansion of carbon-free nuclear power worldwide to prevent near-total economic destruction.

#The West will pay for everything, because of its "historical responsibility" for causing global warming. Third world countries will not be obliged to pay anything. But it is the U.N. not the 3rd world countries, that will get the money from the West. There is no provision anywhere in this Bible for the U.N. to publish accounts of how it has spent the $100 billion a year the draft demands that the Western countries should fork over from now on.

The Way I See It...my hopes, after the 12 years of intimately researching and writing about the global warming alarmism and the eco-facist green movement fueling it, were that it would be exposed for what it really is by now. I am somewhat encouraged that it is slowly happening with more and more scientists willing to say and write about their doubts about the need to fear temperature rise and its dubious linkage to CO2 levels. My further hope is that political leaders of Western countries see the writing on the wall and what awaits them and their citizens if they sign up or even give credence to this Green bullshit Bible and its anti-human ideology. I wonder....what is it about "GREEN" that make it synonymous with "STUPID'' ?
