What a wake-up call

In the maritime environment where I work, we often take boats out to sea. We always start out with the boats moving in a single line. After a few miles, when the coxswains are accustomed to the state of the sea, we play with different formations. We may even race one another to get home first. But we always leave the quay in a single line.

The boat in front takes the brunt of the swells and waves, creating a path through the sea. This makes it easier for the boats behind to stay in formation. If the boats follow too close to one another, the engine wash will make the boat behind veer off to the side. The closer they are to the boat in front's engines, the harder it is to stay on course.

Each boat also leaves its own “track” through the water, called a wake. The wake makes a distinct “line of water”, to each side, between which the other boats have to stay when following. When the boats are inside the wake, and not too far behind, nor following too close to, the boat in front, the water is at its most favourable condition for the coxswain to keep the vessel steady.

This may also be applied to the life in Jesus Christ: if we let Him be the Leader, He will create the most favourable conditions for our current state of life. If we stay inside the Will of the Father, and let the Ten Commandments be a line to each side that we dare not cross (even though we will, occasionally... and then the waves hit us directly and the swells become mountains that suddenly drop off in front of us, and we may be tempted to ask: “Where is the Protection of God?”), then we will overcome this World much easier, than when we try to take the lead. If we do not stay too far behind, giving the World a chance to come in between us and God, we will have a much smoother walk, even though there will still be the occasional temptation (wave) that slips through.

And if we dare to go right up to the Power (the Engines, where the wash creates its own waves), we must expect satan to throw everything it can on us. The closer we get to God, the harder our judgement shall be if we fall away.

satan demands death; God gives Life. God's power is infinite, while satan has only what was apportioned to it and what it stole. The World is in the power of satan. And the worst that satan loves to throw at God's children, is the strife that flames up between God's children. The boats that throw anchor in the canal (illegal to do that), and threaten with a lawsuit if your ship crosses over them. Some ships need 45 minutes to get to a standstill, with the engines totally cut out. And if Jesus is the ship you follow, stay inside the canal He had barged out for His gospel. No other has right of way there, and if they wish to use His canal, they are obliged to obey His rules.

Murphy's Laws of Combat states that “Friendly fire isn't.” Friendly fire is a pretty term for same forces that do not know of each other, or have inadvertently crossed paths during a fire fight. Enemy fire kills. Friendly fire kills own forces.

satan loves it when God's children oppose each other on the small teachings:

• The Trinity is blasphemy

• Eating meat is ungodly

• The Lord's Supper was a once-off

• The Lord's Supper must be used with a cup

All the above can be proven from Scripture. All the above can be disproved from Scripture.

Instead of all boats going in all directions, shouldn't we rather test the spirits, as it is written, and should the spirit be of God indeed: go in one direction - after Jesus?

Sometimes I don't know, WHY I keep on doing this blog. Is it read? I don't know. Does anyone care? I don't know. Does it make any difference to anyone, or has it made? I don't know. And I don't care. God ordered it, I must obey it, and that settles it. I wish I could be sinless, but I am not. I wish I could know I am saved for all time, but I am not. Nobody is. This life, is a constant struggle between the Flesh and the spirit. And it is a lot easier to fall into the Flesh, than it is to obey the spirit.

Do I sin? yes. Do I want to sin? I honestly, do not know. Sometimes I feel I just want to get away from it all - God, satan, earth, the World - but something keeps pushing me on, telling me to never give up, ask when the hard times strike, find out when it seems God has left, repent if sin is pointed out, and by God's Grace, don't do it again.

I wish I could say that I am sinless. But I am not. I wish that I could say that I am Eternally Saved. But that is to be in Eternity. On earth, I have to read the Word, pray to God and resist the devil every day, every hour, every second. And it hurts.

Have you ever felt alone, the fear of being left alone, that those you love have left you?
Do you know the hurt of being despised because of your beliefs? Especially, because you make a stand on God's terms, not the World's? Have you been rejected, ostracised because you would rather do right than be popular?

Then you just go ahead.

A friend of the World, is an enemy of God.

God loves you so much, that He sent His Son to die and go to Hell in your place, so you will not have to go when you die. You have a chance to live forever with God, in Heaven.
But God's Justice demands that those who reject His offering, and spit on His gift, be damned after death.

In Heaven, there is life and love and laughter and everything you wish to have.
In Hell, there is fire and smoke. And at judgement day, Hell gives back those she had kept, and gets cast into the pool of flame with satan and its minions. And every man, woman and child, who has rejected the gift of Jesus's Blood, shall also be cast into that lake. It was created for satan and its devils. But those who are not the children of God, are the children of the devil. And all shall need to experience God's Justice.

His children's justice: for their sufferings on earth, they shall inherit Heaven and the Second Earth. But only those who persevere until the end. Those who let go of the Faith and go back into the World, shall be added unto those bound, hand and foot, and cast into the everlasting fire.

Unless they repent and come home to the Father.

If your life on earth is hard, it does not mean God has forsaken you. But if you life is easy, it does not mean that either. Hard times come and go, easy times come and go, as God wills it. Just stick to Him and let His Holy Ghost guide you and comfort you. And always do what you do, as a dedication unto Him.

John 14:6

"I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

If you truly believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, good. The devils know He is.
If you truly believe that Jesus Christ is God, that is merely the Holy Ghost working in you, clarifying Genesis 1 and John 1 and how they come together.
If you truly believe that God's Word is Truth, and you believe the above, then you will know that your Salvation is in the Name of Jesus Christ alone.

And those who refuse to accept any preacher's words as mandatory for Salvation, need have no fear; for any preacher who claims that his/her words or writing is necessary to enter Heaven, is turning John 14:6 into a lie. And that necessitates turning Jesus Christ into a liar. Which, in turn, means turning God into a liar.

If I were Choo Thomas, I'd repent, recant and recall Heaven is so Real, RIGHT NOW!

Demoncracy

The First and Great Commandment is:

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind."

And the second is like unto it: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

The Lord's Prayer begins with : "our Father which art in heaven

Hallowed be thy Name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven"...

Democracy states that the will of the people should be done.
And if the people decide wrong is right, so be it, then.
And if your fellow man is wronged by majority rule, you are responsible also, if you believe that majority is right.

No man can be a sincere Christian and yet a democrat.

If you think you are: repent, recant and live according to God's Word, not Man's words.

Share Life

We all wish to reach the end. For some, the End is to live no more; for some, to Live forever. For some, the End is merely a point of rest before coming into a next life.

Few believe there is no end to this existence. They hope to attain to it. And between them and God, one of the two sides is wrong. Completely.

This is not aimed at those who believe in the Summerland or reincarnation; neither those who hope to, at some point in time, reign in Hell. Nor those who have decided that this life is all there is.

They all are damned already.

I know it reads hard on the eyes and the mind; but it is a statement, merely saying what my Lord Jesus Christ said almost 2000 years ago.

No. They are not that important. They are much more important. They are so important to Him, that they should have received the Gospel from those at who this post is aimed:

Christians.

No, not Roman Catholics or Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses. Those wear the badge, but work in a different unit, if not under a different ruler.

Nor Charismatics: some seem for real, but thank you to the emphasis on entertainment in the church, and absolute showmanship. Necessary for a good performance. Also called a "sermon".

Oh no. This post is aimed at those who proclaim themselves to be Christians and do the Law. Eat right, drink right, speak right, sleep right, read right.

Those who proclaim Jesus Christ is Lord over and of all.

Those who believe in the Unity of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost - also called the Trinity. I know, some of the Christians will jump up and say the word "trinity" is nowhere in the Bible. Therefore God is not a Trinity.

Incidentally, the word Bible is not in the Bible, either. So we should call it...

Stop being finicky.

Stop being overly righteous while you bully your colleagues for fun. While you take the right to avenge from God and assign it to yourself. While you preach purity while committing harlotry. While you try to teach others the Truth, yet lie whenever it fits you.

That is called hypocrisy. Hypocrites go to Hell when they die. And claiming Hell to be a man-made idea is a heresy. Heretics also go to Hell if they refuse to repent, from turning God's Word into a Lie.

But that was not the aim of this post. The aim of this post, is to ask those who consider themselves to be Righteous:

Did you share the Gospel with those who need it, today?

Religious Freefall

There is a discrepancy in the spirit realm. There is a lie of thought that goes against the teachings of Jesus Christ, the only Salvation for any man, woman or child. There is a rule in the church, that condones sin in the name of "Love thy neighbour" and condemns rebuke in any form, as "judgement."

There is a wide range of Christian Lies to choose from. The currently popular:

There shall be a Rapture just before the Great Tribulation.

Compare this to the words of Jesus in Matthew 24:29-31; Mark 13:24-27; see also Revelations 13, 14 and 15.

Do not give food and drink for the flesh, when you see those in need; for what good is it, that a man should be fed, but then go to Hell? Rather give them the Bread of Life (the Word), so the spirit may go to Heaven, and let God feed them on earth.

Compare this to the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 25:41-46. A little charity on earth just might go an eternal way.

Only careful study of the Word, preferably at an accredited institution, can truly clarify the Word.

The epistles of Paul, when addressed to the Body of Christ, were addressed to the members of the congregations; all were at liberty to read and understand, to ask questions and discuss that which seemed unclear. See also the words of Jesus in Matthew 10:18-20; Mark 13:11;Luke 21:14-15.

The idea of mandatory study before understanding (note: not being learned by one who knows, but examining man-made books), is aimed at eradicating the Holy Ghost's power in one's life and over one's mind and tongue. Which is why people flock to the Prosperity Whores, who preach prosperity, riches and a long life on earth for God's Children. That is not promised by Christ, at all. The part about persecutions and being hated by the World (which is in the MAJORITY, by the way) for the Name of Jesus Christ, get played down to a niche where only the hard-core fanatics will look.

Studying the Word, is good. But it is better to be guided by the Holy Ghost, God's Spirit of Wisdom and Discernment, than by the words of men and women that promise heaven on earth. If you do not get assaulted by satan or its forces in any form, it means you are not a threat to it. And that means that you do not do the Will of the Father. And those who do not do the Will of the Father, shall never enter the kingdom of Heaven.

The leaders of the congregations and meetings are the anointed of God

To put it blunt: this is probably the worst form of modern-day humanism, and man-worship, and self-worship. Throughout the history of God's People, the anointed of God, was the ruler of over the people. He was the king of the people and over the land.

Now Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, was baptized, first with the water, then with the Holy Ghost. He was anointed, not by a priest or a prophet, but by a woman, who was Saved even before His crucifiction; by merely believing in Him to be the Messiah, she listened to His words (Luke 10:38-42) and later anointed His feet (Mat. 26:10-13; Mark 14:3-9; John 12:3).

And, typical of the average christian of today, the one who wanted the money the most (Judas Iscariot, the betrayer and thief) was the first to mention a charity or fund for the poor (Mat. 26:8-9; Mark 14:4-5; John 12:5-6).

Jesus Christ, is the Last Anointed of God, to be King over the Jews (Mat. 27:37; Mark 15:26; Luke 23:38; John 19:19). He died (when the next king of the Jews would have taken over from the predecessor, according to the ways of the Old Testament), but was resurrected (which means, He got alive again in His same Earthly Body, yet without the Blood (literally); for He was then Spirit, which merely carried the Earthly Body until He went up to Heaven.

Therefore, there is no place for a King of the Jews (who, since then, were all people from all lands, nations, tongues and races, that accept Him as their Saviour and Only way to Salvation) on earth any more; for should any become this King, he shall proclaim Jesus Christ to be dead, buried and a waste of Faith to believe on Him. Those who proclaim themselves to be the anointed of God, shall, literally, have Hell to pay.

The high priests were also anointed, from Aaron and his sons, through the ages (Exodus 29:7; 30:30; Lev. 8:12). But ONLY the high priest, of which there was only, ever, one at a time. But Since Jesus Christ is our Eternal High Priest before God, who's own Blood is sacrificed as our Eternal Sin Offering (Hebrews 2; 3:1; 4:14; Actually, this is the main topic of the Letter to the Hebrews). And the high priest was only anointed when the predecessor was dead. Again, Hell to pay, for those who claim themselves to be the Anointed of God; for they themselves, proclaim that they are preaching a religion based on a dead man, instead of the Living God.

The prophets, with one exception (Elisha was anointed by Elijah), were not anointed. They were chosen by God, and cleansed by His Spirit, to do the work that He had set for them. See, the Holy Ghost did not come into the prophets in the Old Testament, for otherwise Christ would not be the First of the Prophets to receive Him. But the Spirit came over them, and guided their ways and words by the Father's command. In the Old Testament, the Temple was where the people had to go to worship God, for that was the House of God. But since Jesus Christ came to earth, we can worship Him wherever we are; for since He walked the earth as a man, we must go and worship God in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:19-26). The Spirit is sent to those who accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour; the Truth comes by accepting the Spirit, for He is Truth.

But this would seem to contradict 2 Corinthians 1:21 and also, 1 John 2:20&27. Yes, there it is written that God's people, the Children of Abraham through Jesus Christ, are anointed of God by the Holy Ghost. For the same Spirit which hath anointed Jesus Christ, is the Spirit which is inside God's children. Do not be mislead, to take that to mean that we are the Anointed of God; for Christ Himself, compared God's Kingdom with a man who goes on travel, and leaves his servants each to his own duty (Mat. 24:45-51; Mat. 25:14-30; Luke 12:35-48; Luke 19:11-27).

God sends His Holy Ghost to those who accept His Love Offering in Jesus Christ wholeheartedly; but He abhors those who willfully exalt themselves, teaching doctrines of men as the Will and Word of God (See Matthew 23 for a GREAT example). And those who want to be teachers, keep in mind that God's Grace is limited. It is limited to you teaching His Word, for teachers shall receive the greater judgement. It is limited to you, teachers, teaching the Word unadulterated by humanism and human right, despising the Prosperity Harlotry and divorcing yourselves from the Poverty Teachings. For God shall deal unto each that which He needs you to have to glorify His Name. He shall deal riches to those who need it to teach the rich, poverty to those who need to teach the poor, the Spirit of Wisdom to ruin the wisdom of men and intelligence to berate those who follow the teachings of fools. (Not the Motley Fools, mind you; the fools who claim to be able to disprove God's Word).

God's Grace is also limited to those who have heard the Gospel and repented from their old lives of sin and have chosen, to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. For those who have heard and rejected the Truth, have no salvation left.

Jesus Christ is forever the same and shall remain so Eternally. To God be the Glory, for His Grace And Love and Justice:

Grace - towards those who have accepted His Gift of Love;

Love - towards all mankind, sending His Son to die and live again so we need not be damned;

Justice - to damn those who reject His Offering, thereby sealing His children's Eternal Life with Love.

For those who reject Love, cannot love. And in Love, there is no sin; and in Sin, there is no love.

The millionaire's gospel...

This is based on the gospels of
St. Matthew, St. Mark and St. Luke;
although only St. Luke is quoted
in this piece.

This is written with the thought in mind, that those who read this will have a bible at hand, to look up the quoted verses. The writer used the King James Version, the only version he deems to be close enough in translation to the original Greek and Hebrew writings.

Since Creation, Mankind has been looking for a way to be able to use God's Word and Deed to justify themselves. Adam blamed his sin on God giving the woman to him; Eve blamed the serpent, satan in a snake skin, for leading her astray (it twisted God's words. As it always does.) And of course, the soon-to-be legless, fanged lizard had no excuse for himself.

Forward approximately six thousand years, and the average Christian is bombarded with promises of prosperity from all sides: God wants them to be rich. The poor are those who don't have/have rejected/have not yet heard of God's Blessing on their lives. If you are poor, it means your faith is lacking/wrong/weak. All to get the pastors a few bucks more in the name of Mammon. Oh, sorry. In the name of God.

Now don't get me wrong; it is not a sin, to be either rich or poor. But it might help to remember the Lord's Prayer: "Give us this day our daily bread". God provides in your need (which is what He needs you to have in your situation, to serve Him best). It is up to you, if you want to provide in your greed.

We all know the drill. The advertising begins with a super-duper-luper baking pan. But wait, if you order now, we will throw in a year's supply of cooking spray, absolutely free. But before you go out and spend hundreds, even thousands of rands/dollars/pounds/euros/yen/whatever on cheap imitations, let us sweeten the deal and send you this sexy Swedish chef, included at no extra cost. And just to thank you for being so gullible, we'll deliver it right to your door, postage included.

Now we begin with Christ's Salvation for mankind. All you have to do, is accept it and say thank you. But wait, there's more: if you answer now, God will include His Blessing of a Million a Month, at no extra praying. But of course, since you might be tempted by one of the inferior denominations /evangelists/pastors/ whateveryourpreacheriscalled, let us give you our sincerest, warmest welcome and promise you the gifts of the Holy Ghost, Who shall obviously make sure that God sends you your million a day into your Million-A-Month Blessing, for only your tithe and everything you have to spare for the month. And just to thank you for being such a sucker who does not compare our words with God's own Word, we will pray it all over you to receive right here, right now, falling to the ground included.

God does not work that way. His Grace came in the form of Jesus Christ to earth; He lived as an example for all, of how God wants His servants to live. He had no home, no horses or chariot, He traveled the lands by foot or by a donkey (on one occasion), He crossed the sea in vessels owned by others...

God's Kingdom, is not of this world. Which is why Jesus Himself said: "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on." (St. Luke 12:22)

God created the birds and the animals and the flowers and the fishes and the people and...
get it? He takes care of all living creatures, from the smallest little bug, up to the humongous blue whales and elephants. No creature escapes His eye or His care. He takes care of them; why then, should mankind, which was created in His image, have cares about what they should eat, where they should live, what they should wear?

Your wallet is a piece of material/leather/plastic, stitched together for strength. Your bank account is a number with some wires and papers and buttons. He knows it all. Why worry? All you get from worrying, is high blood pressure which in turn gives your family worries about the inheritance...

"Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of things which he possesseth." (St. Luke 12:15) If you buy into the second ad above, you disobey this order, directly from Christ, very clearly.

And you may be interested to see another little quote, also from my Lord, in Luke 6:20-26.

God blesses those who trust in Him and believe on Him, according to their needs and His. Any extras, are God's Grace with which he trusts you to use it to His Glory.

And if you need to make a speech in church, to remind the people of their tithes, you should take a look at your own standing with God. He shall never leave those who need, alone, especially those who work for Him. But you must ask Him to provide. Who is your provider: God the Father, or the people? Do you spread the gospel of Christ to the world, as God has ordered all His followers to do, or do you hammer on people to become Christians? No-one comes to the Father, except through the Son; and no-one comes to the Son, if the Holy Ghost does not urge him to. And if God tells you to give the Gospel, He expects you to give it for free. He put no copyright on His Word; neither should man.

And be careful of your living. You might be the only bible an unsaved reads.

Soli Deo Gloria

Baby killers

Just a quick reminder to the world: We do not condone the murder of babies, be they born or unborn.

So where are the stone throwers? Dina Rodrigues was wrong, full stop. But where are the hypocrites, charlatans, who damn her and yet are nowhere to be seen or heard, when a nurse, who practiced for fifteen years, went to trial for refusing to murder an unborn baby?

Jordan-Leigh had six months to bring light into her family's lives; those pre-born murdereds, not even a day.

The masses don't want justice; they want blood. Again, I do not condone miss Rodrigues's actions (even with the inevitable conspiracy theories), but you who damn her, first go check out your own eternity. The central heating is currently set at a rather hot 666 degrees...

Dina, I don't know you and you don't know me. But I pray you get to know the Grace of God the Father, through His Son, Jesus Christ my Lord.

He still loves you and waits for you to come to repentance.

The Lord's Rings

So them Englishmen haves decided to ban them silver chastity rings from school. Which seems an absurd decision, for the ring itself is merely a symbol, of teenagers who actually wish to do something about the increase in STD's in their country. And is that not one of the major life issues facing our generation?



But as they say: "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't even teach, ban..."



However, there is one point to make here: Those who wear the rings- are they LOOKING good, or are they DOING good? It is inevitable, that some will jump on the bandwagon to hold up a holy lifestyle, while living just as the rest of the World; while those who are holy, shall be verbally defiled by those same people, who need to hide their own hypocrisy. Hypocrites shall go to Hell, and at The End into the Lake of Fire. Pray for their salvation and also for justice. But don't you, Christian, decide on which type of justice.



Now to quote the Lord, Jesus Christ: "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." (Mt. 5:11-12, KJV)



Now I am going to step on some toes, maybe even feet: Other religions are allowed to wear their religious dress, because they are man-made religions, which ultimately lead to Eternal Death. True Christians (those who live it, not just say it) are persecuted, because their God is Life.



And satan hates knowing that God's people are going to Live Eternally, while it burns with its fellow devils and sinners.



So it needs to break their faith. By empty promises of riches and only good times on earth. Complete contradiction to the Word of God. See also Mark 10: 29-30 :"And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's.

But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come, eternal life."



Did you notice the part about the promise of persecution, for the Gospel of Christ?



Just keep spreading the Word and Keep your eye on Jesus our Lord.

Amen.

To Power

This is addressed to all who long to have the Ultimate Power:

It is easy to obtain. Even easier to use. And it is a snap to get good results... IF you are willing to play by the rules.

The rules themselves, are pretty much self-explaining: there is nothing symbolic about it. Just follow the rules. All of them are easy. Except one, but do not fret about that now.

Of course you shall need special equipment and some mentor(-s) for guidance. The world is full of both, though most of the equipment lie around, unused and those who should be able to mentor the newcomers and young ones, for some absurd reason refuse to talk about it, or even display the Ultimate Power in public. Unfortunately, the Power sometimes needs to be displayed in public.

The angels themselves, submit to the Ultimate Power - again, only when you play by the rules. The elements cannot withstand it, and every form of devil and demon flees it, at first sight.

But there is a price for the Ultimate Power: Death. Sacrifice. Blood.

Which, ultimately, leads to Glory.

Now for those of you who wonder: the rules are not made by Man. The equipment is man-made, but also not made by Man; it is of Divine origin.

And the mentors are men and women, like you and i. Your next-door neighbour might be one - his or her life shall quickly tell you.

Because not every one who claims to be, or who has the qualifications, is a mentor. Few mentors have the "necessary" qualifications. And they do not claim to be. They are. Listen to their words; see their lives, especially the way they treat their fellow men and women. And listen to what is not said, but is shown.

Do not go and bash another's way of life; the Ultimate Power, eventually, either shows or is completely diminished. For the Power That Be, Who grants His Power to us, requires that each man, each woman and every child that receives it, use it to His Honour.

The only way to obtain this Power, is to Die to one's Self. To the World, to which the Power is hidden, or even madness. To offer yourself, every day, to God the Father as His vessel, to use for His Glory.

Accept Jesus Christ as His Son and your Redeemer, your Saviour and Intercessor. And ask for God's Holy Spirit. After all, He, God the Trinity, The Father, Son and Holy Ghost, is the Creator of this universe. He is not in, or even a part of, the universe. He holds it in His hand.

And He grants to mankind, by the Holy Ghost, the power to command the elements themselves; to chase devils and demons from people, not "exorcising" them; commanding it.

And He sends His angels where He Wills, as He Wills, when He Wills.

As for the Blood: Jesus Christ already shed His Blood on Golgotha, also known as Calvary, about two thousand years ago.

Your bodily death is not needed; your blood only stains the floor. Only His Blood, washes away your sins, so that you may Live. Abundantly. Prosperously. But not necessarily rich in money. But that is for another time.

Just know, that He loves you. So much that He, who is timeless, ageless, sinless, deathless, became a man, ageing, bound to time and place and eventually, had every sin that you are still going to commit, Blamed on Him.

Because He created YOU.

That is why He gave His Word, the Bible, the only equipment you need, so that you may find out, where Israel went right and wrong. It was written by men, yes; but every word inspired by God. As the computer age inadvertently proved it to be... but that is yet another story.

You do not need to do rituals or Hail Mary's. By doing so, you claim that Man has power that God does not. But the only power that mankind has, which God does not, is the power to sin. Which God cannot.

Because God is Love.

And Love does not rebel;
Love does not murder;
Love does not curse;
Love does not lie;
Love does not steal;
and Love does not covet.

But God abhors witchcraft. For all sorcery, wizardry, magic, witchcraft and every form of communication with the dead, astrology and fortune telling, divination, all familiar spirits and spiritual exercises except for prayer to God the Trinity, come from the father of lies, the murderer, the thief and great rebel:

satan

...who rebelled against God, coveting God's Throne and Power; and God had him cast out of Heaven, with a third of the angels following him, becoming devils; demons.

Which are the only Accursed without recourse.

For each man and each woman, for every child, God's Power is available for this life, and this life alone. After which there is only either Judgement, Eternal torment in the flames of Hell, or Life in Abundance in Heaven.

There is no next life.
There is no previous life.
There is only one life on earth to prepare for Eternity.

You have to power and the duty to choose: God or satan? Heaven or Hell? Life Eternal... or forever, without ending... Burning?

I pray you choose Life in Christ Jesus. Just close your eyes and ask Him to forgive your sins and Lead you as your King.

May the Lord Bless you
and guide you
on your way.
