I see it as an opertunity to get this right.
A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings
Your brother

I'm returning to college this August after I made a huge mistake failing my first run through. I'm attending the local community college and hoping to transfer to Oregon State either a year or two in the future.
After I get my degree, I plan on moving to New Zealand and taking up residence there if they accept me. Hopefully their I will find a nice woman to marry and have a couple children with.
After that I don't know if I'd like to return to the States or not, depends on how much I like NZ and how willing she'll (if I find her) be to leave.
When I'm old and grey, I don't know what I'll do. That's part of the fun I guess

The age old question ay?
A bird flys and appears to never ask a question about their exhistance.
Only the human has unrest of self. It is this idol time that allows us to go beyond ourselves, to question self, and our existance.
If money was not a motivator for good things to happen for the planet where would we be? might be the question.

Most people confuse life with their life circumstances. The only purpose in life is the purpose you give to it.

Spiritually speaking, life is eternity of joy and power. Thus, the real man is not the physical man but the spiritual man who will live for eternity to eternity without end. It has a body like us but its body is made of celestial substance which are perfect and thus, will never decay. But what is in our selves is that we are seeded of the spirit of guarantee. And in the KIngdom of heaven this seeded spirit of guarantee will assure men to be born in the spirit and become angel-like. Moreover, everything can be found in the Bible with regards to the Christian faith based from my 27 years dream-revelations which I have written and published in my website-THEGOODNEWSOFTHEKINGDO... As I researched on other wisdom of men about our faith which are not through the revelations of THE HOLY SPIRIT, it is apparently supported by peoples or natural men whom have not received revelations from the HOLY SPIRIT unlike the revelations to the Prophets and Saints and their disciples .And these natural men either they are intellectuals or genius are merely with earthbound wisdom. In contrast, the spiritual wisdom of higher level in the hierarchy of truth are matters of revelations from the HOLY SPIRIT. This is so because our knowledge to be in the higher level of truth must have the divine knowledge of the celestial heaven and the unending world called omega.These worlds are perfect that the imperfect logic of man is no longer applicable in these areas. Even so, the elders in heaven declare that alll wisdom and might belong to THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND TO THE LAMB-THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Thus, per divine plan as it was said by THE LORD JESUS CHRIST to HIS discipes To you the mysteries of the KIngdom are revealed but to them (natural men) everything comes in parables. They hear and they cannot understand and see but they cannot see. Thus, under this divine plan, only those 1stborn like the Prophets and Saints and their disciples-the chosen ones among natural men, are in the meantime according to the divine plan are to be the recipients of these revelations while the natural men, as 2nd born, will receive revelations later in the kingdom of heaven ruled by THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Moreover, THE LORD GOD knows the future not only part of the future but the unending future and that is the wonder of the power of GOD and is beyond the comprehension of natural men as with their imperfect logic is not applicable to the logic of a perfect world llike the KINGDOM OF GOD to come thus, instead we apply our faith in GOD. Thus, the elders in heaven declare that THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND THE LAMB have great and wonderful works.. In fact, the unending future have been written in the beginning of time in the BOOK OF THE ALFA AND THE OMEGA as THE LORD GOD said It is finished. I AM THE ALFA AND THE OMEGA. Yet THE LORD GOD is the author of the Book of Life (even the unending life). The Prophet Daniel (7:10) in a vision saw the celestial beings with THE LORD GOD reviewing (sort of) all the Books before the beginning of time. As far as free will is concerned, free will is freer with THE LORD GOD. It is because of satan who is the invisible participant in all human affairs; and any frail man or the strongest man for that matter by himself alone can not match nor withstand the deceptions by a celestial being tasked with the power of the great deceiver and armed with the divine power to sway men to his wicked ways. And the Prophet Daniel said He (devil) has power but not of his own. And this spiritual belief of great deception is further prophesied by John in the Book of Revelation 18:2 where the global city, the whole Earth, at the endtime period will become a home of demons and a visitations of the evil spirits. The purpose of this demonized stage of the world is to usher the 2nd coming for the reigning of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST over this earth and the whole universe transforming all planets and moons as gardens of eden. With regards, to the creation of the satan or the evil one is that, THE BOOK OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL which is a part of the whole Scripture, was the divine authority for the creation of the evil one. The plan of THE LORD GOD with respect to satan's great deception as revealed to me, go beyond his acts of deceptions which means that when men are deceived and they erred, they suffer as one under the principle What one sows one reaps; On the other side of this spiritual battle in this book of the good and evil, is THE HOLY SPIRIT from whom are sent the angels, Prophets/ Saints and even Virgin Mary who lead men spiritually to partake of the honor and glory of the suffering servant-THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO is the divine model of every man's works. And in this case, the suffering man earns his angel-like status in the coming Kingdom of Heaven. Similarly, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST through HIS sufferings and passion on the cross and death even did not stop the devil possessed Judas Iscariot; as HIS spiritual works earned for HIMSELF the redemption and salvation of all men who are under HIS dominion to the unending world of Omega which is like a tree that grows forever in the garden of THE FATHER GOD as the LORD JESUS CHRIST is the Tree. Thus, as a working principle, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST said a worker is entitled to his wages and this working principle is applicable to all men. That is why the servants of GOD-the Prophets and Saints will be paid of their spiritual wages in terms of their kingship over a number of galaxies-kingdom (called cities of Stars) in the soon coming KIngdom of heaven (parables of the 10 minas and the one mina vineyard worker); while the 2nd born will earn their angel-like status in the soon coming Kingdom of heaven. Thus, these works show that the natural mens' angel-like status and their godship in the coming later of the KINGDOM OF GOD are to be earned per divine model and plan. On one hand, mens' salvation and redemption were already earned to us by THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Moreover, no natural man will go to hell instead all men are saved by the blood and sufferings of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. But those shown in the Bible as men in hell gritting their teeth are actually demons who incarnated as human beings like the gamblinglords, crimelords, warlords,druglords, armsdealerlords, prostitutionlords, theftlords, goldenhandlords, moneylaunderinglords, etc.It is because satan and his demons alone are destined for hell or perdition as they are merely given a short span of life. But to all men in their hearts are planted eternity by THE LORD GOD. That is why Christians do not only believe GOD but instead love GOD. Additionally, the Bible was written by the Prophets and Saints from revelations of THE LORD GOD-THE LORD JESUS CHRIST in human image. It has its imperfections as it was a deliberate divine act because what matters is the love of men inspite of one's imperfections which is the operating principle of this imperfect physical world ruled by satan. Furthermore, from what ultimate authority is THE LORD GOD did the acts of redeeming men? THE LORD GOD redeemed men as HIS dominion from THE FATHER GOD WHO is the FATHER OF THE LORD GOD. The Prophet Daniel (7:9-14) was shown the vision of THE FATHER GOD coronating HIS BEGOTTEN SON-THE SON OF MAN (symbolizes the newly created world of men) and was made as THE GOD AND LORD of our earth and this universe and its eternal world called the omega. Thus, no one goes to the FATHER except through the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Additionally, this divine plan of men to godship as gods or like-GOD in the unending creations of universes through the sole power of THE LORD GOD, is to be inherited by the sons of GOD-the gods, is modeled to that of the SON OF GOD WHOM THE FATHER GOD coronated HIM and made HIM-THE SPIRIT called THE SON OF MAN-the LORD AND GOD of our universe and the omega. This is the wonderful story revealed to you today. Moreover, I am tasked to look for the chosen ones among natural men as your questions belong only to those inspired by THE HOLY SPIRIT. Likewise, as a Prophet and when the time that I will physically die, I will write all the names of my chosen ones among natural men under my fold in MY BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE (Malachi 3:16) as my offering of the 1stfruits among the natural men to THE LORD GOD-THE LORD JESUS CHRIST or as the 1st natural men to be adopted to the family of the 100 million 1stborn in heaven-THE Prophets and Saints. Additionally, the spirits of the chosen ones among natural men were created from the gold dust and silver dust of the Earth; in contrast to the natural mens' spirit created from the ordinary dust of the Earth. The devil was created from the mud of the Earth and the demons from the clay of the Earth. And in the beginning, the spirits of the Prophets and Saints were created from the precious stones from the CITY OF GOD, THE HOLY CITY JERUSALEM, the mother of all (Gal 4:26; Rev 21:10-21) which is in celestial heaven in the higher dimension. And at the center of this countless puregold planets with their garden of paradise is the CITY OF GOD where THE LORD GOD resides in HIS ivory palace on top of MT ZION. This Celestial heaven will be the new earth and the new heaven that will come down to our space approx 15 billion years from now to replace the then old and aged earth and the old and aged universe to be melted; and its lake of fire is where satan, hades and hell will be thrown into. THANKS GOD; FEAR GOD; PRAISE GOD; GLORIFY GOD; HONOR GOD; LOVE GOD AND WORSHIP GOD.
