I am making a big change in my life, for the better. It is not an easy one. The details are appropriately private, but it’s fairly ordinary human failure. It means letting go of unholy comforts and escapes, and allowing higher powers to carry me through the troughs of loneliness, fatigue, and occasional despair.
This is much harder than past challenges like getting into Oxford or writing about Q while being libelled in the national press. I have come to understand, via persistent fault, that there cannot be mind and body solutions to spiritual problems. The holy spirit is a thing, and I have ignored it to my cost.
I simply cannot write about righteousness and spirituality without putting my own house in order. I am all out of excuses. Hypocrisy disgusts me, and there is only so much “field research” you need to do to learn about the enemy’s ways of dulling the pain of trauma they inflict.
AU folk “get it” without the religious zealatory. Not grandstanding my woes, just real.
There comes a time that we all must come to terms with a simple fact. Walking in the half light is still choosing to sleep. We can no longer reconcile the “At least I’m not as bad as them”. The half light, the line between the darkness and the full light is full of deception. Mostly deception of ourselves. We convince ourselves that since we aren’t doing what they do, we can still be a part of their world. We play with the flames and feel the scorching heat and somehow believe that we will escape unscathed.
What you have chosen, won’t be easy. It will lead you to peace and it will be worth it. Somedays, you may not agree with that last part.
Isaiah 43. Where it says Israel and Jacob? Put your name there instead.
Nothing you do or have done will make Abba love you more. Nothing you do or have done has made Him love you less.
He adores you. Always
The "God" of the Hebrew Scriptures is NOT The Source of All or The Creator of All. The "elohim"(plural) of Genesis were a Higher Race of Beings intervening in a chosen faction of humanity, fighting & squabbling with other Races of Higher Beings!! Is it any wonder we humans do the same thing??? 😜
Pissed level 11 on a scale of 1-10. So much rage. The lies, the pure evil, the idiots that can't see evil.
for your consideration
There came a time that I had to come to terms with a simple fact. Walking in the half light is still choosing to sleep. I could no longer reconcile the “At least I’m not as bad as them”. I learned that the half light, the line between the darkness and the full light, is full of deception. Mostly deception as to my own complicity. I had convinced myself that since I wasn't doing what they do, I could still be a part of their world. I was playing with the flames and felt the scorching heat, and somehow believed that I would escape unscathed.
What I have chosen isn't easy, but it has led me to peace and it is so worth it. Somedays, I may not agree with that last part.

I offer this, my experience, to you.
I got a man. Not here to date. No DM’s. Sad that I even need to write this.
Because in your mind. Only your experience is valid. You only reveal your heart now, not mine. It is a sickness to be offended by someone telling someone else that God loves them.

Thank you for showing me the error of my ways in such a kind and loving manor. I will be sure to never comment on any post from anybody from here on out. Congratulations on silencing anothers voice.
Jesus' parable wrt RUNNING out of oil for the lamps by the time the bridegroom FINALLY shows⬆️ SPEAKS to our HUMAN bias for ease & as Moms & teachers scold "MYOB!"
Yet Matt.25, where this is the LEAD,
is our Lord & Savior's BLUNT
"You're fooked!"
to HIS nearest & dearest:
IF WE can❌get the hang of
communing w/ GOD in SPIRIT,
signified by oil,
as GOD promises to provide
(John 14-16),
if WHAT we SAY➡️HIM & ➡️others WRT Him ISN'T Spirit breathed INTO our lives,
humbly obeyed, solidly layered,
SHOWING GOOD "fruit",
HIS kindness & character,
(hard-fought, long lessons)
Resumes & Name-dropping❌count.
(Matt.7:21-29, Matt.24:5-14).
People IN need📈OUR discomfort🙄.
We must take THAT bundle in🙏🏽to GOD IMMEDIATELY (Rom.12:21)
WE want our discomfort "fixed". Fine.
The best way OUT is often THROUGH, as in "Les Mis".
Care of our own souls/FELLOWSHIP is GOD's GOOD pleasure, tho tricky @ times: "edification of saints". Public "HYMN SINGS" & invitations 4🙏🏽anyone?
Chiwaukee....Farmer, Construction, Dump Trucking, in that order. Blue Collar at its finest. I went to College, what a waste of money!
Although I believe that your intentions are good, we don't all walk in the half light. We all know of our deceptions, that's how we find our light. None of us our convinced of our deceptions, we gather here to remind ourselves that we are not deceived.
You, my Dear, should not recite Scripture. 🙏
I got a man. Not here to date. No DM’s. Sad that I even need to write this.
As it seems that you do not grasp the concept. I am assured that I was not referring to you. You are free to carry on as you have been given. I will continue in the way that I have been given. I do not assume to know your task. Please, do not assume mine.
As for recitation of scripture? You might want to find out what it is before you tell someone who didn’t do it that the shouldn’t.
Peace
