My most important post to date

I was fooled by satan.

I have written extensively that God met me when I was in my late teens and gave me mental illness because I would not humble myself and admit to him I was a sinner.

I have found out during Christian discipling that that is a lie.

I was fooled by satan.

God is exactly represented by Jesus. And Jesus loves me. He delights in me. He is for me. He will never leave me. He would never punish me. All the punishment due me was poured out on Jesus when He was on the cross.

When Jesus died and went to the grave my “old man”, my dead spirit, went to the grave with Him. When Jesus rose from the dead He gave me a new spirit that loves Him. His Spirit and mine joined and we became one. God, through Jesus, did everything for me. All I have to do is receive His love.

Jesus made my spirit perfect but my soul is not regenerated, nor my body. My mind, will, and emotions and my physical body draw me to sin. If I sow to sin I reap bad feelings, fear, isolation, jail, disease, death. If I sow to Jesus’ Spirit I reap good feelings, joy, love, peace, life. Sin is its own punishment. Love is its own blessing.

My depression is being replaced by love through forgiving others and what they have done to me.

If your theology is not bringing you love, joy and peace, you do not know the truth about Jesus. You are believing a lie. Have the courage to seek Jesus and the truth. Regardless of the lies that some well meaning people or institutions have told you, Jesus does love you, completely, as you are, right now. The choice of spending eternity with His love is NOT HIS. He has given it to you. He will not force Himself on you. He has not predestined you to heaven or hell. The Bible says, “Those He foreknew He predestined.” The Greek for “foreknew” does NOT mean “chose”. It means “knew before.” He predestines based on YOUR CHOICE, NOT HIS. He has given you free will and self-determination. He will not take it back. YOU are responsible for your choice. By answering “No” or “No answer” you are rejecting His eternal love and forgiveness. By answering “Yes” you are in His arms forever. He will never reject you even if you lose faith in Him later.

Satan will feed you the lie of “you don’t have to choose, you can blame God.”

The truth is, that Jesus would rather die than spend eternity without you. . . And He did.

“Today is the Day of Salvation, NOW is the accepted time.”

Thank you God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit,

You can make the difference now

The framers of the U.S. Constitution feared “We the People” might someday be overtaken by “We the U.S. Government.”  If you don’t think Government tyranny exists right now, you have been watching censored media. Whether you love Trump or hate him, he is experiencing election interference by Biden and the U.S. Government. Pro-lifers (who volunteered to turn themselves in and were denied) were traumatized by being arrested with many guns being pointed at them days later. Parents are assigned “Domestic Terrorists” labels for rightly calling out school board officials. Catholics are being targeted simply for being followers of Jesus.

If you are actively working to right these wrongs, I applaud you and please write me. If you are not, there is a book that you might want to read:

Letter to the American Church, by Eric Metaxas, Salem Books, ISBN: 978-1-68451-389-5.

With the rise of Hitler, Germany in the 1930’s and 1940’s headed down a path of disaster. The German church could have stopped it, but they believed lies about themselves – the church – and what the church should and should not do to intervene. The United States is paralleling Germany’s disaster, and the American Church can stop it, if they don’t believe the same lies that the German church did. Eric Metaxas writes a concise diagnosis and prescription for the American churches’ dysfunction in Letter to the American Church.

I am going to lovingly, peacefully, and legally take political action.

How about you?

I am an Oppressor.

I am an Oppressor by Accusation.

They are Victims by Choice.

My son, an oppressor by race as defined by Critical Race Theory, does not know he is an oppressor. A victim non-bully (victims can’t be bullies regardless of their actions because victims say they can’t be bullies) walked up to him on the first day of class and stole his lanyard. My son the oppressor walked up to the non-bully and took it back. The victim was surprised that my son the oppressor was so bold; because he was the minority oppressor in a middle school of hundreds of victims.

I have been seriously mentally ill for 40 years. So, I am a victim. But because of my skin color I am an oppressor. So, am I a victim and an oppressor equally? or does my oppressorhood trump my victimhood? or does my victimhood trump my oppressorhood?

I got one of the right meds for my mental illness 30 years ago. And I have discovered other meds that help since then. Ten years ago, I became a Certified Peer (of the Seriously Mentally Ill) Support Specialist. I had healed and made my life so much better that I was hired as a mental health professional to help others find healing and help them make their lives better.

One of the things I experienced and dealt with during my mental illness was delusions. A delusion is a lie that is believed. My lived experience with delusions brought me to the conclusion that they are harmful. And therefore, I would not reinforce my or anyone else’s delusions.

Some XY’s (with male chromosomes), who are oppressors, claim to be XX’s (female by imagination, male by chromosomes) and so attain Super-victim status immediately. Their claim that they are XX is a delusion, a lie. Their body may have had cosmetic changes, but their brain and body is XY. Their thoughts are produced by a brain that is structurally and functionally different than an XX (with female chromosomes) brain. XY’s have never had an XX thought with their XY brain. They are not XX. They are male bodied, male brained, with an imagination. They are what a male thinks a female thinks like.

Falsely claiming this is a civil rights issue (it is really a mental health issue) political coercion has been applied to society by those suffering from this delusion. Now not only the mentally ill, and even many non-mentally ill mental health professionals, are acting as though they believe this delusion.

I asked my supervisor to see what the mental health organization I worked at thought about my views – as I saw myself not complying with this trans-delusion. HR asked me if I would use preferred pronouns and I said: “I would not call a man a woman.” It is a lie and because I follow Jesus I am not going to lie to my clients and reinforce their delusion.

They fired me immediately.

I don’t have a job, I was fired because I speak the Truth of Jesus.

They have a job, because they choose to be delusional.

I would rather know Jesus and be without a job than be delusional with a job.

How about you?

100% JESUS

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Daniel 7:14,27
