NEW BOOK:
THOSE WHO KNOW DO - THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND TEACH:
Chapter 1
They say we all have a book inside of us. For years I’ve dreamt this to be true for me. It took another decade or so to try and envision this book. Then it took 30 years of life to find the material for it, with which it took the course of living to produce it. I’ve never known what I could call it, so I put the above title “Do - Teach” upfront to remind me for what I was writing about.
The first real inspiration for me to write a book came from studying the Holy Bible. As I read more I began to believe that there was a magic, if you will, when words are put in an orderly fashion, or structure, as while I would begin to read Holy Scripture for the sole purpose of seeking God, I began to get a strange feeling inside of my mind and I would get all kinds of ideas passing through me at once. Some ideas I’d attempt to capture for obvious reasons, i.e., I’d think that they were thought provoking messages from God, and that I was to propel their flight to the world, yet, all the while wondering how, or sometimes even what, or why. For just as soon as these fleeting thoughts would enter into my mind they would also disperse in the direction of forgetfulness, or if I was able to take a thought and act upon it, thus proving it to be real inspiration from God, but failed with the substances of the offspring of it - I was baffled to whatever it was, or reason this thought came to me in the first place.
*The understanding of capturing ideas for the purpose and construction of edifying the many facets of life’s experiences didn’t come to me instantly either. I learned that this was a method of elevation brought on by the Spirit inside of us, that it was a principle of Higher Powers of which we do not see with the naked eye. Those powers being for the Good, and or for the Evils of what happens in our world, and yet delegated by our own will of choice and choosing.
This work is a living prayer in progress, bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. It is a response to Chapter 21, verse 25 of Saint John’s Gospel. My written testimony of the workings of Christ Jesus in my life.One of the things I had to learn to the working of bringing into captivity “every” thought was that it was to be of my thoughts, because I foolishly wondered; could I really capture all thoughts (to the mind of Christ) for the purpose of enhancing the Body of Christ? As you might have witnessed, the words of God are powerful to the soul of mankind and just might be the motivation for some strange and odd beliefs. My conclusion was that this is to my thought and benefit, and not the whole of the Body’s thinking, as if this could be the case, then the freedom of choice and or free agency would then be molested. However, the repercussions of having all our thoughts in captivity to the obedience of Christ does have a profound effect upon the captured surroundings, as you will witness. Because the union of God and (one) of His Children has taken place.
I was 15 years old when the Voice of His Spirit began to nudge me to seek and learn of Him. I suppose it was always there to whisper “good tidings of great joy” to me, but it wasn’t until I was 15 that my own heart began to wonder about the truth. Then I began to journey on the path to finding what, actually, is truth?
Was truth a set of principles, rules, dogma, doctrines? Well, to say the least, I didn’t even know where to begin when I set foot upon this path. I wasn’t very studious with the curriculum provided by the education I was given in the first place. In fact, if it were up to me, I’d just spend my days drifting along the wayside, never minding a thing or paying attention to the current events of the “living”, if life hadn’t become so difficult. Life seemed to be very simple until this brooding of the mind began to trigger its’ firing pin of wondering what the heck it was I was looking for.
My first reaction to hearing the Voice of the Spirit was joy. I then felt privileged, but in a boastful, cynical way (this I didn’t really perceive until much later in life). Today, I am grateful and coming down more from my lofty pride every day. I want to share my joy and love for Christ Jesus to the world, and as I write this I contemplate His Words of comfort; “I will always be with thee”.
My only set back of so many errors in trials and tribulations was my lack of obedience. Especially when things in my life didn’t transpire the way I would’ve wanted it to. When this happened I’d disobey intentionally, as if I were trying to tempt God by the means of my unruly actions. Sometimes, my disobediences were brought on by my subjective pains I felt and since I didn’t have the proper medications, or training, or understanding, to sin would bring me some kind of relief to this awful drudge, I thought to be feeling, I was experiencing. Nonetheless, because I desired it, God let me win this fight in my life, and to be an over comer, and to victoriously lead a life that pleases Him. (Sometimes I'd win) So, in here is my testimony of the workings of Christ Jesus within my life.
On a need to know basis, for those who think they know me. Life in God’s terms for my life has never been easy. God has always been with me. I don’t know how to explain it, but He is there. He taught me how to persevere with my ambitions. But because I was full of self will I went through a life time of sufferings in order for me to come to a point in my life where either it was His Will, or mine. I am still seeking more of Him and less, where there is none of me left. But the will of me, inside is so, so much...I've even committed some sins, or entertained them so, just to run away from Him, because at times, for no reasons at all, while I would be kneeling in prayer, my whole body would be in pain. And there was no explanation for why the pain was there.
However, this never deterred my ambitions to want to get closer to Him, yet the consequences of my sins have kept me from progressing in the manner by which God would rather see me to.
People say God can do all things. It is possible. But He doesn't if we don't allow Him to. My self will does not allow God to intervene, however, grace is sufficient, and in suffering we learn to obey - hopefully.
I have a strong testimony of His love and preservation of my life of Him...but still self will intervenes and halts this would be glorious moment that God would do if I could only submit all of me.
I learned that God always wants what we want, so long as this want is in the direction of His Will.
I learned that my will is a pool of genetic energies of past and present and future generations. Inside this pool is the self that swims through the curses of our ancestors, and their blessings as well. We also swim through the possible blessings that if we can manage to endure the pain and sufferings our self is holding, and learn to establish a connection between who we are and who God is, the curse we might pass on to our posterity will no longer affect their decision, but, their decisions are affected by what choice they make, eventually coming into a pure age of genetic comfort when our choices will not contradict the Will of God, then the gene pool will emerge with a pure generation as well.
I learned that the most effective way to enjoy life is to learn who Jesus Christ is, and living IN HIM, not of Him. Not who He was, because then I would be speaking about Jesus in the past tense. But who Jesus is, as though, in Him there is no end. Jesus was born in the flesh, and though the world crucified Him to a cross, to kill Him, He proved to be the Begotten Son of God, by rising from this death they killed Him with.
I learned that the curse of life was to deny knowing Jesus Christ, and that our seed is passed from generation to generation in this denial, which henceforth, ignites this flammable curse of all curses within us.
I learned that when we know of Jesus Christ and do not attend to the concerns of Jesus Christ we too crucify Jesus Christ to the cross keeping the ignited fire of curses burning, as Jesus Christ is an Eternal Spirit and Being, who surpasses all realms of existence.
There is no yesterday, today, and tomorrow. There is all and in all of this moment and is in existence of all eternal knowledge, being in the present tense, with zonings of existence that be the past, or tomorrow, in order to apply the natural laws of our flesh as it is capable to understand for the sake of God's purposes.
This is my journey, and journal for your eyes to witness. As I also learned, that in Jesus Christ, all things become new.
To me it is important for you to know how God is healing an ailing mind as it once transpired, being once prognoses as schizophrenic, bi-polar, alcoholic, drug addicted, psychoneurosis, selfish, vain, lying, manipulating,…every self willed character flawed there could be, though with the grace and mercy of God, short of murder. Hence the production of the book Faith, Hope & Charity.
I wrote it as a prayer from me to God, to help me rid the self of me that is so destructive, and yet thrives on being. You may purchase it clicking on the icon below:
As this journal continues, please invite yourself to walk in prayer, along with me, for when we learn to love the LORD our God with all of our hearts, souls, and minds, in the unity of The Holy Ghost, as His Spirit also transcends all matter, you'd be surprised at what marvelous and wondrous works He can do - and will do if our will's become HIS WILL.

Fuel For Thought
DIPLOMACY 101
The number one priority in any business is your customer. Even if the customer is wrong it is your duty to diplomatically empathize with their lives and persuade them to feel that they "want" what you have to offer. Not need, as need is an element of fear to the customer, and highly unlikely. Even though a customer might need it - they may not recognize it as a need. This is because comfort zones are more persuasive than beginning something new. If anyone tells you that it's nothing personal - it's just business. Wrong! Business IS personal. It will take from the pockets of both the customer and the provider of the commodity. Money IS a very essential and personal belonging, as it benefits us all, (personally).
