Oracles of my servants are true and report what I am doing today for as my word forget the former things behold I do a new thing and I shall speak it through whom I choose without man's approval or their vain imaginations rooted in pride and knowledge of the flesh and not the kingdom for they know not of my ways as long as they seek to admire their flesh .
So "my" chosen and few shall speak of new things and things to come and the shallow minded shall not conceive the things of the Spirit of The Lord that they reject in prideful wanderings for truly they are only a desert unto themselves and those blind that follow these empty sounding gongs absent of The Father's love .
So come ! To the Spring of Living Waters for I shall quench your thirst through The Spirit of The Lord for I AM THE WORD and only My Spirit can reveal this to you by The Father's will .
Will you come ? Or wrestle with me for day is breaking and your Morningstar calls to those in " humble abide " .
Abide with me and fast the earth !
1 Corinthians 1:20-22 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;
1 Corinthians 2:13-15 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy[a] Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
Isaiah 43:18-21 18 “ Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. 20 The beast of the field will honor Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I give waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen. 21 This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My praise.
One almost wonders . . .
are we seeing . . . some Jr High sociology/psychology experiment wherein
some characters with little to no experience in the topics concerned . . . & negligible, IF ANY, understanding . . .
decide to see
HOW MUCH, HOW HIGH,
they can pile on
MEAN-NESS, ARROGANCE, cluelessness & SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS PUREED WITH ABSURDITY
all perhaps to just see how big a chorus of naysayers they can get to join the rabid fault-finding alley cat garbage can chorus.
All without a clue as to the spirit such stuff erupts out of, operates in . . . and certainly no clue about HARVEST TIME . . . in Maya Angelou’s words.
Fascinating . . . in a very sad sort of way.
Can you imagine the dinner time conversations in homes led by such spirits and attitudes? Or the conflictedness of most, if not all their primary reltionships? One doesn’t tend to just spew part time on FR.
Naw, personalities, priorities and habits are MUCH MORE habitually consistent, than that.
Of course, the REAL crunch tends to be with teens . . . and with an empty nest.
God have mercy.
#########################
One version of Maya’s
HARVEST TIME
“I am alarmed and saddened. Probably our greatest teacher, which is nature, has been unsuccessful in teaching us lessons. Season in and season out, you plant tomato seeds. If anything comes up, you’ll have thousands, millions and millions of seeds. The problem is that when harvest time comes, we think we can harvest oranges or onions.
Still, we plant cruelty, unkindness, violence, greed - in our families, in our communities, in our state, in our nation, in our world - and think we have the right to be disappointed when we don’t harvest kindness, generosity, patience, intelligence, courtesy, love and peace.
It’s a wise thing to nurture courage. None of us is born with courage. You develop courage incrementally in small things, then a little in larger things, three to four times a day, little by little, until you develop enough courage to defend yourself, to really recognize when you’re being assaulted. Not with a sword, a bomb or a poison dart, but by ignoring us, trying to obliterate the role of humanity. Then you can learn to defend others.”

EXCELLENT QUOTES RE MARRIAGE I happened along to while looking for something else:
FROM:
http://www.smartmarriages.com/marriage.quotes.html
I'm not criticizing J-d because he's not Catholic, I'm criticizing him because he is a blasphemous heretic and the overwhelming majority of non-Catholic Christians also dismiss such blasphemy.
***I’m a born again Christian, Mark. I’m not gnostic. Look in your own mirror.***
Christians don’t make statements like that.
You have it within your means to end the acrimony.
Explain what these visions mean, and how they bring glory to God.
See? It will be simple!
That is all most of us have been asking for weeks now.
***Why is it that those who most vehemently deny Gnosticism at the roots of their beliefs show it most clearly in debate?
Amazing.
You have reminded me of an observation I made earlier today: Why is it that those who most vehemently shout “Christ alone” at Catholics (as an indictment of the rites and sacraments of the Church) are the same who embrace opportunistic profits of gaud on the internets?***
Perhaps it is the result of not really being anything and therefore grasping at material goods since they are the only things left. Not really Pentecostal, although sort of. Sucks up to the Reformed harpies when they flap through, even though they despise her as somebody that is not Calvinistally saved. Defends the street corner crazy when he utters words entirely unconnected with the thought process and he has no idea that she even posted in his support.
Giving of one’s life savings to the pastor might indicate a separation of thought and reality as well.
Continually making things personal is continually breaking the rules.
***negligible, IF ANY, understanding . . .

You have a much more forgiving nature for those who abuse Christianity and its doctrines. The nature and the theology of Christ is well catechized by the Church. Street corner lunatics shouting in the night with empty eyes are not prophets. They are to be helped, not encouraged. You are in that line of business, are you not? Why would you not help him? Why are you encouraging him to pursue the madness?
***I do not require any further cheesy comestibles.
I fancy a nice, runny Camembert.***
Ohhhhh, the cat’s eaten it.
Tell your cat to leave my brie alone, do you hear me? Alone!
our unwillingness to kowtow to the HARSH, ASSAULTIVE, DERISIVE, HAUGHTY DEMANDS of the naysayers
makes
US
responsible for the acrimony?
So, Jesus was responsible for the attitudes of the Pharisees, satan's sons, white-washed tombs, vipers . . . according to that reasoning.
I'm sure Jesus would be very happy to know about your assessment of His responsibility in those dialogues and relationships, situations. Very impressive.
This would never be believable, as fiction. Incredible.
***Tell your cat to leave my brie alone, do you hear me? Alone!***
Go ahead and ask me about the Venezuelan Beaver Cheese...
...er....I don’t think I will....maybe I’ll just google it...
;-D
ohhhh, THAT Venezuelan Beaver Cheese. Bet you haven’t got any of that, either.
Never mind about the recipe. I read it already.
Oh man, somebody’s harshin my buzz...
***ohhhh, THAT Venezuelan Beaver Cheese. Bet you haven’t got any of that, either.***
Actually we have about half a pound. It’s the Reticulated Wombat Garlic Cheese that we are out of.
Just a PLAIN DOUBLE CREAM BRIE, if you please, or I’m headed for Trader Joe’s and no mistake!
***This would never be believable, as fiction. Incredible.***
I agree. Look at all those egging on a lunatic instead of taking care of him. For shame, sir.
Actually, Jesus frequently taught in public. And he DID answer the Pharisees and Sadducee on multiple occasions.
Mar 2:16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Mar 2:24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”
Mar 7:5 And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?”
Mar 10:2 And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
Luk 5:17 On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal.
Luk 17:20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed,
Jhn 3:1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
Given the many warnings against false prophets, how can anyone follow scripture and NOT ask what makes you believe this fellow is a prophet - or even to describe what it is he proclaims?
***Just a PLAIN DOUBLE CREAM BRIE, if you please, or I’m headed for Trader Joe’s and no mistake!***
