Back To Things At Hand! ~ Happy New Years!

2009 = Mighty Fine!

'Out The Gate', allow me 2 apologize for my Laxity in keeping current!

Now that done, (Honestly!) want 2 wish You, (Especially You Who Visit And Pray For This Won {1} Preacher) A Very Prosperous, Plentiful and Pleasant New Years!

I believe (To Be Knowing!) that 2009 Will Be Mighty Fine! Just being able to think this to begin with and of course to be able to say this out loud to everyone in my path, makes it even more so. Another Factor is Luke 11:34-36. See Filters.

Since the last post, I have been many different places on line and in 'The Here & Now' and have visited places that I would not have ventured in the near past. No not any 'Houses Of Ill Repute', as yet, though those of the 'First Group' might look upon them the same way. IYKWIM? In fact I have not ruled out those 'HOIR' altogether and would be obedient thus Directed! Another Sermon for another day!

The important thing to elaborate on, is that I see people searching for enlightenment for &/or to their Personal Spiritual Journey.

To offer help in these cases from my established perspective, would initially have them run for cover. So I am on my own ... trek ... quest ... to approach these souls in (At least from my perspective.) the dilemma they have at hand, in order to have the peace and assurance to rest in the promised revelation and peace I have come to know and be assured of.

All of this of course, is to remain true to my 'Given Theme': To be Making A Difference And Helping Other People Reach Their Goals!

Several have reported that they embrace 'The JESUS or Christ Concept', yet only along the several other paths they are traveling on. Many at the same time expressed that 'All Roads' lead to God, not realizing that only one to The Bema Seat and the rest to 'The Great White Throne Of Judgment'.

Now before I move on to the next 'Thought', as you swing by and partake, the 'Creative Juices' you have been given, may hone in on an angle &/or even an empirical experience that may help me on my way. Jump in and get your feet wet, as the water is fine and leave a comment.

I have never been fond of the money changers etc in the Temple that are legitimatized by calling them "The Book Store, The Coffee/Snack Bar, Etc.", though have had to give them more room then I have in the past.

Nor have I come right out and asked God for money, to publish the portion HE has given to me. With that let me invite you to come into my 'Coffee shop / Book store' and peruse some of the other things I enjoy doing.

Again, as I post these links, feel free to comment on your Thoughts about me doing this. Here are some to start with:

~ Food for Thought! ~ ‘Less Of Me’

Not sure where this is going to go, tho I need to get it started, while HIS ‘Creative Juices’ are flowing. The last post (081022) was from the hip as I was writing, although chewing on the main ‘Topic’ for days and that came from another article I had been reading on Skepticism. It was as it was speaking directly to me.

Should you choose to go back and peruse it again, it was directly saying, (To me anyhow.) “That there is need to give the other person room.” When a person is ignored and wrote off, there is little hope in future communication, whether fellowship &/or ministry.

Two issues that I deal with, (Not close to perfect yet;-) the first one is irritation when interrupted. I lived with my Dad’s Baby sister while my Mother was in the hospital for over a year when I was eleven. Many things I was taught, while I was there.

Money was left out over time, the amount was increased at regular intervals, and I was told in my adult years later that my trust was proved. It lost it steam when I explained that even at 11, I was smart enough to know that should it come up missing that I was the only one who could have taken it.


That one above was a freebie as this is the one that pertains to my thought. She also taught me “We so often condemn others for our own worst faults.” Do you remember what I was talking about above with out going back up there to check? I just remembered a third thing. I had better finished this before my imperfections turn into a tome.

The irritability over being interrupted, is because I do it to others myself. To over come this I have tried not showing it when I am interrupted and it is getting better, as now I try not to do it myself. Of course, this leaves a monologue for the other person should they like to talk as much as I do.

Number two is I will justify my remarks &/or actions when they come under scrutiny. Even after walking with The Lord for over 3 decades, my tendency is to need to be right! There is no way to break this habit, yet to again resort to silence and let the other person have their victory. SEE! Even using that last word shows the pain that is involved.

Allow me to finish up using the third one I remembered above. Second place after being interrupted is not being ‘Paid Attention To’. ( I do not know if you caught that above or not.) Multi-taskers are not welcome! Just kiddin. It is hard, ‘not to go back’ and ask questions that have no value other than, seeing whether the person was paying attention or not.

My favorite is talking to a cultist and when it is my turn they are Busy Looking up the next reference. They will now go to when I finish my turn. As soon as I see that they have found their spot and has it marked with finger between the pages, when their eyes meet mine, I ask them, “ What is your take on that?” They shake their head and admit they missed the point and I start all over again, this time they are paying attention, because they know that there is something for them to answer.

As Always! Picking up your cross and seeing how much more there is to dying of self. Less of me my Lord that there will be more of YOU! How about you? I laid out some of my dirty laundry. Do you have any of yours that that needs at least some airing? Your Turn! In the meantime Be Blessed, 1 aka DP

Food for Thought! ~Skepticism~
‘The Good The Bad
And the Responsible’

Food for Thought! ~Skepticism~

Have you ever stopped long enough, to evaluate all … well maybe not all, as that would take to long, the negative, … well what each one of us would catalog as negative, … things that happen around us, ‘Day In & Day Out’? I bet you were wondering if I was EVER gonna get that thought out!

Allow me to hone in on “Skepticism” today and go ahead and run with it, so when I bring this thought to it’s culmination, you will already be there with whether you agree or not.

New Innovations normally come up against skepticism inasmuch as, they contravene personal and/or social credence. Established beliefs are so compelling and forceful, that wars are and will be fought over them. They become the foundational base for philosophies, psychology, political systems and even medical concepts to develop. Some own their own Memorials. Sometimes they are only imaginary tales and are not even true. We just hope and think that they are.

Nevertheless, for a moment, let us look at ‘The Good’ that is derived from some of it! Skepticism to new innovations, are usually resistance to change. Including, "it's too good to be true" attitude... or "That sounds too Spooky" or anything that resembles that... This is healthy and normally to be expected. New concepts should always be scrutinized rigorously. It will make them stronger in the over all, should they prevail.

When one possesses a major development that is founded on the most convincing of known axioms, being different to traditional understandings will always and expectantly be met with skepticism.

Here are a few quotes to make this point:

"There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power
of the atom." Robert Milikan, Nobel Laureate in
Physics, 1923

"Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible."
Lord Kelvin, President Royal Society

"Sensible and responsible women do not want to
vote." Grover Cleveland, 1905

"Who the heck wants to hear actors talk?" Harry M.
Warner, Warner Brothers Pictures, 1927

"Everything that can be invented has been invented."
Charles H. Duell, Director of U.S. Patent Office, 1899

Now ‘The Bad’!
We may as well start here with my standard Response:
"You can always tell a skeptic, BUT you cannot tell them much!" There are many more and no doubt you may come up with a few yourself. Let that suffice, as I would like to get on to the main reason that I have been giving this so much thought.

As I am being blessed, with being ‘more’ knowledgeable, it in itself makes me ‘more’ aware to be ‘more’ “Responsible”. To many times in the past, I have just passed on by an opportunity to make a difference, because my intolerance to skepticism. Almost a case of ‘The Pot Calling The Kettle Black’!

Having studied ‘Skepticism’ to this degree allows me to back up an not Write the Skeptic Off and leave another opportunity to minister to them at another time, with many of the times with the very innovation that they would not have no part of before.

Now IT IS your turn! Tell me where you believe that I am wrong … or maybe you were already there, waiting on me to get my head screwed on right. Talk to me and continue to be Blessed, 1 aka DP

~ Food for Thought! ~ Growth Is Valuable! ~

We have talked about ‘Change’ and ‘Growth’ and how do they line up with what Scripture says.
I started out with change using these two proverbial expressions:
“Everything Changes, except Change Itself!” And
When ‘It Is All Said and Done’, GOD IS THE EXCEPTION!

They both sound like oxymorons and sometimes we have to cross over into that realm to receive Understanding. HE says in Mal. 3:6a "For I [am] the LORD, I do not CHANGE;

Eph 4:15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ--
Eph 4:16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes GROWTH of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

Where am I going with this, you might say? I am getting into the habit to just sit down and to start typing and see the wisdom come forth.

Now you tell me!
GOD Bless! 1 aka DP

~ Food for Thought! ~ Growth Is Good! ~

There is a need to start this off with: God Is Good! Ps. 73:1 From here we can go anywhere.
You might have had a need to ask me why the last post was in Red? I am glad you asked and because it caught your eye, it served its purpose1

The main reason is to convey how I hurt … (And not like BC = “I feel your Pain!) to see so many not partaking in HIS Kingdom out of ignorance and/or stubbornness. The funny thing about it is that even as I am writing about this I could be right in the middle of both of them.

Sometimes they are so subtle that they are invisible and evasive. As I write this, I am open to have a slap up the side of my head, so that I can partake of all this wisdom myself.

The reason for this post is for my growth and you could be the instrument of HIS choice should you step out of your comfortable prison and let the swing begin, by contacting me. Go ahead so I can say: “Thanks … I Needed That!”

Nevertheless, have a blessed day and reap what HE has for you today!

~ Food for Thought! ~ Change Is Good! ~

It is said, Change is Good! And before we get in the middle of this, let it be said, that I said It, whether it was the first time said or not. Another one I like is: “Everything Changes, except Change Itself!” And when ‘It Is All Said and Done’, GOD IS THE EXCEPTION!

Have you heard anyone say, “They Say!” when trying to bolster his or her perspective on anything?

What I have found out in the last few days, is that if you want to ‘T’ them off, just ask them to, “Name One!” I learn this by accident the first time, as the inference was that there was a ‘Multitude’ of the ‘They’ that were saying, … whatever it might be. What you will also find out is, ‘what it is that ‘T’s them off’, should you push the issue. It is that they (Who you are talking to;) cannot name even one!

What is Important in all the above, is that “They Say” in not the only repeated, obsequious, Master over Slavery that so many people lock themselves in prisons of their own making.

Say what you want and no doubt, you will and that also, will, be repeated by those who abhor Change, Nevertheless, as I pursue these thoughts, I am becoming an expert in the bondages others keep themselves in.

Not The Rule, though far from being the exception, Believers who are partaking in the Kingdom dynamically in certain areas, will not even give ‘Thought’ to the many other areas of participation, on only one count. That being ‘Change’ and their detestation of it, because knowing it will eliminate their selves from their state of soothed contentment.

Now ‘Soothed Contentment’ is only being dispersed and enjoyed in the area of that Change. Now why is this important? I bet you thought that I would never ask!

Change is what brings us into new realms of God’s Promises’ and those being based on HIS Laws that even Atheists partake of. Many of the times it is, only on that point they base their resistance.

My greatest growth in my relationship with God and learning how much more that HE had me to participate in, was the excruciating and agonizing torment I went through, until I just accepted the Change!

Now no doubt, that some of the ‘They’ will say that, the above was infested with hyperbole, albeit others will know that I only scratched the surface of what they have gone through.

This will be my first closing, as all good preachers say.
SO WHAT? You say! I thought you would never ask.
BOY! Does a question like that, bless a preacher!


Ministering so many different times to these situations in the past has made me an expert in this area. The only accounts that have not been productive were only those situations where the participants shut off all communications dealing in these issues. I Mean Shut Off!

In closing (for real this time!;-) Should you be going through something that has gone on for a long time and are ‘REALLY’ Ready to deal with it, I invite you to contact me and I will be blessed to being a part of your ‘Painful Growth’!
Contact me!

~ Food for Thought! ~ Finish Strong! ~

I may get a lot of argument from this, though what I have come to not only believe, but endeavor to walk in is, ‘The Choice Is Yours!

Sometimes our starts are a little weak and wobbly, though we ought to choose to ‘KNOW’ that we are going to accomplish what we start out to do. Courage is a quantity that we are not aware of to any extent. Even beyond our wildest dreams.

Bethany Hamilton is a good example of what the human being is capable of doing! Having an arm removed from a shark bite and coming back to compete and winning with in 6 months!

Ray Kroc should have rolled over and died at age 52, Nevertheless McDonald’s is what it is today because of Ray’s determination!

To believe and then act on it is key to most every success! Where do you get your belief system from? As we discussed before, it comes from all those filters that we have been indoctrinated in and our sub-conscience keeps us trapped there, should we not first become aware of it and then do something to change it!

Wilma Rudolph, Ben Hogan and Paul Hamm, all could have gave up though with that positive attitude and determination thy “Finished Strong”!

NOW How will you chose to respond? It IS your choice! Go get them Champs!

~Food for Thought !~ Perry The Peacock~

What about ‘ol’ Perry The Peacock and the ordeals that one with a positive attitude has to deal with, when confronting a stagnant status quo mindset? A lot of issues are evaluated here and sometimes one with a lot of energy and enthusiasm, who is creative and has imagination to see opportnities is some what accepted for a season. Even a temporary partnership, seems to have a potential of co-opporative development.

B U T ! As soon as the status quo is made uncomfortable for any reason, trouble will appear. Trying to get conformity will rob all the positive aspects from any creative individual. CHANGE is always uncomfortable!

The creative individual is sad, to disappointed that there seems to be no way to break through the staus quo into bigger and better innovations.

Anyplace in the world can be “The Land Of Opportunity” depending on one’s perspective and those who are their associates.

Let me give you Scripture to confirm this last perspective:
Luk 11:34
"The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.
Luk 11:35
"Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.
Luk 11:36
"If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."

Also see: Mat 6:21-23

For some reason there will always be those, whose glass is only half full. Regardless of what side the get up from, it is the wrong side of the bed.


Not that I am all the way there as yet, But my glass is over half full, in fact, “I am drinking from the saucer, because my cup runneth over!”

More Thoughts: Factions in the Church!

Loved of The LORD,
Continuing on the thought about factions in the Church, I know there will be some who will say that Paul did not condone factions, in order to refute my thought in post below. Re: 1Cor 11:19.
Ok, let me agree with them for the sake of unity. It is never conducive for fruition, to have any kind of conflict when promoting, producing and/or publishing any good of any kind, especially The Good News of Jesus.

Nevertheless, as painful the pruning and culling that incurs in all productions, they are necessary, in order to harvest a crop of maximum fruition.

While reading I came across this verse that goes hand in hand: Luk 9:50 But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.

What is almost hilarious, had it not been sad, that Jesus had to rebuke the ‘Son’s Of Thunder’ for wanting to pull off their own agenda, several times. Four verses later, they want to call down fire from heaven, because the Samaritans did not welcome Jesus.

So many times the differences are more important to point out and refute than paying attention to one’s own calling and reaping their own share of the benefits and results.

Yes! No Doubt! Should I make the effort, I could find something about what you believe that I could inexorably disagree with. Nevertheless, while camping out on that and wasting time energy and effort to prove you wrong, those passing me on by on their way to hell are neglected!

SO! There must be something here that you disagree with. Make a comment so we can get it on!

Thoughts: Factions in the Church!

Why do Issues that come up in The Church, sometimes turn into a deeply implanted Crusade that one finds their self almost ready to die for and protect what one thinks is its virtue. 1Cor 11:19



I have a real good friend and brother, … In a way another Spiritual Son, who is still ministering in the Former USSR. We have been conversing (E-Mail) about the different Doctrines that make the different Denominations Ultra Sectarian in the positions they take.



As we dialogged, we find out how really united we our in our beliefs. The more we converse, the more the light reveals what we had formally thought as being differences.



It Becomes Hilarious, when we get down to the Nity Grity. We can laugh at those who are locked into their ‘Boxes’ (Filters)



It reminds us of the Sadducees and the Pharisees during Jesus’ time. The controversy over being, an after life, any such thing as Angels, etc. were very minor to the main Issue at hand. That is Serving God.



The Preacher, who came to town and turn their Religious world upside down, united them, (Against Him.) proving that they did not know God. (Even Face to Face with Him.)



Today it is so easy to Label another part of the body, as heretical, because of how they see things different.



The most recent is the ongoing arguments from the Calvinists and the Armenians. It has been going on for scores of decades and both sides, (And all the splinters betwixt and between.) wrestle over an issue that has nothing to do with getting The Gospel Published and giving individuals a choice of not spending Eternity in Hell.



Is Predestination something only God determines, and if it is, what is the use of preaching the Gospel, if God is going to make the decision, regardless of what is your desire? On the other hand, after you choose to be saved, can you turn your back and walk so far away from God that He will never hear you repent, ask for forgiveness and He welcoming you back with open arms?



Like the Hypothetical sign at the entrance to The Kingdom as you approach it, … it reads, “Predestination” and as you pass through, you glance back at that sign and it reads, “Who So Ever Will”!




I have ministered to many from these different “Factions’ that have been beside themselves about Salvation, especially theirs and helped most see the Light from The Truth! It is what sets them FREE!



Let me finish with this:
Paul is very clear about the factions in the Church and I believe that he is telling us that these factions are necessary. Let us look at it here:
1Cor. 11:19 For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you.



There is no one person that will be able to minister to every single person. It had been, it is and will be all of us that Publish The Good News that will bring in The Kingdom. Even though Paul is rebuking the Church at Corinth, he is telling them (and us.) that some will hear it from others, some from … yes even you, and I hate to spoil your thoughts about me, but God has and will still use me. (As unworthy as I am.)



Forget the trivial and hone in on what is important! i.e. The Vital message is: Jesus + Nothing! The ‘Nothing’ includes anything that one would consider important to be saved. Jesus Took care of it ALL!

The Jewish Christians wanted to strap Circumcision on the Gentiles for them to be saved. That made Paul Mad!

The only Question to be asked is: ARE You Saved Now? And If not: How Come? Scripture is very plain about how and the way it is done.




Should you need some help on this, comment and we will go to The Word Himself.

X Final Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

Now we need to get on with the Final Touches. Hang on as this may get Hairy.

Let me preface this again that there are always “Exceptions To The Rules”, Nevertheless, lets take these next … Items at face value only. Mary Matalin & James Carville, which I brought up last time, is a perfect example. Group 1, will hold to ‘Not Being Un-Equally Yoked’ to hold true in Business as well, as the main Item of Marriage. Group 2 more than likely will not want to be tied up either in Business or Marriage with those of Group 1, for no other reason than the possible fanaticism of Group 1. (Though Group 2 can & will be adamant in their positions, too!)

How far does either group cross over the line would be 3 or 4 Tomes of itself. Therefore, I will just head off into the conclusion for this thought with this:

All! i.e. of all groups need to understand what they believe and also to know that should you cross over that line, (Whatever It May Be.) you will be compromised in your endeavors. The negative influence &/or force, will under most normal circumstances defeat the fruition of any direction, based on nothing other than Scriptural Teachings, that co-inside with what the Sages of the other understandings have been saying for centuries.

The resulting consequences and/or circumstances were lessons to be learned and the choice remains with the decision maker, and to how each situation will either bless with an opportunity that has been revealed, or the curse that was more than likely thought of to begin with. Job said, “What I feared has come upon me!” And hand in hand, “Happy is he that condemns not what he does!”

Now it is your turn! Call me on any of the premises that I have laid out and we will go to the Scripture and Sages to confirm what I have laid out.

Have a blessed Day! 1 aka, DP

IX More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

“Other Pressing Matters” seems to be the Reason/ Excuse that is common today when there has been a lapse in fulfilling a commitment. Nevertheless, I will start this post begging forgiveness from my faithful readers for this delay.



Give me a few lines to get this back up and running again. … Thank you!



Now approaching my seventh decade, I do not profess to know all about these Spirituals, nor have what I do know, working perfectly in my life. Now not to be redundant, yet it helps to reiterate some things for those of you who are just coming aboard and have not yet caught the direction we are endeavoring to pursue. This will also help some of you ‘Regulars’ to stay abreast without going back to be refreshed.



Allow me to say that you do not need to embrace these thoughts completely as I present them to you. Nevertheless, be as smart as a cow and eat the hay and spit out the (What you believe are) sticks. Most of you, who find interest here, are more than (likely) old enough, to have been around the John several times and know how to flush it! As this is Labor Day, please rest and do not labor! :-)



OK Regulars! One more and we will get on with this thought for today.



We are talking about people of different belief systems engaging in any kind of Business venture.


See post where ‘Groups’ are discussed. CLICK HERE


(Also see labels down in the left sidebar, “Groups”)


Scripture refers it to an ox and mule being yoked together to pull a load. “2Cor 6:14” Most of the times it is used in reference to Spiritual convictions in marriage. e.g. Can you believe that Mary Matalin & James Carville are married to each other. She is a ‘Rather Die Than Change’ Conservative and advisor to many in the Republican Party and he is an ultra Liberal who works with the Democrats. I do not know their spiritual conviction, but their jobs pit themselves against each other. Both are good at what they do, one can only imagine what goes on behind closed doors.



The reason to bring them up is, again to know that there are ‘Exceptions’ to every rule. So as things we discuss, start to line up and make sense, do not put yourself in a box that you cannot smell the roses, because of the fertilizer.



From last post and talking about going to the mail box and not thinking about bills per se. The $10 off coupon meant little to some of you, Nevertheless, Money is coming this way. I just deposited checks for over $26K the bills are paid before they come in the mail and still getting useful coupons on a regular basis.



There is hesitation to continue in this direction, as many will take a (or their) Situation and locked into their own filters, will choose, subconsciously to write off anything herein revealed. Nevertheless, I will pursue this angle for the few that get it.



A friend of mine brought up that in the J.O.B. work force today it is very fortunate to find a direct supervisor that has the same convictions. Those who do, still have to realize that their supervisor and/or owner may be coming from an opposite perspective. Another reason why so many are looking for an opportunity to be self employed and/or work from home. What does one do, when they find themselves in that kind of situation? Without God’s Favor group one will so often panic or look on the situation with an eye toward darkness and the preverbal half full glass.

Do not get huffed up, as I also know there are those of you that are out of bed with your glass not only half-full, knowing it will soon be running over.



“I am drinking from the saucer, as my cup runneth over!”



Now again failing to upset group 1, let us see how we do with Group 2. Those who do not know or understand the personal favor of God, may or may not see or understand that those positive outlooks, i.e. perspectives, (Eye of light), Nevertheless, act on those divine laws and either watch their thoughts, (to begin with) but more importantly what is coming out of their mouth.


This affords them favor with the Universe, their concept and/or ‘a Doorknob’ that they believe in. It is an actuality as valid and powerful as Gravity.



Let me finish this post today with, how mind boggling it is that there are those in both groups that choose not the full advantage there is knowing God. Like James & Mary above who apparently have found ‘Work Arounds’. Group one passing on by the ‘Joint participation’ with God and HIS laws and Group two who pass on knowing HIM Personally through HIS SON Jesus The Anointed ONE!



In the next post, I will endeavor to give examples what one in either group may do when they find themselves un-equally yoke with another of a different belief system.

VIII More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

I will continue here, to make these thoughts an advantage and applicable to you in business. (See Post below.) Regardless of what group you belong to, … if I have not offended you thus far, give me a chance. … Just kidding!

Knowing and understanding these thoughts, i.e. my thoughts written herein and/or those of someone who has read this, is an advantage on which to act. Now one will be aware that the largest power working against the business is the subconscious mind. Its creative endeavors will keep one from stretching and becoming uncomfortable. The application is never allow it to have its way and deliberately do those things that will be conducive to production and /or fruition.

Do not get me wrong, as I know the competition will do what it can to eliminate any rivalry. There are other factors also working against success, though I will stick with the issue at hand. i.e. I will become my own worst enemy, should I not be paying attention to what I am thinking to begin with and for sure what is coming out of my mouth. [*1]

This is a applicable to all areas of life, though I will address business per se. When thinking, ‘This will never work’, shift the thoughts to, ‘What are all the reasons why this WILL Work’!

On the way to the mailbox in the past, would bring the thoughts, ‘How many bills today?’ Before my trip to the mailbox today, I was already thinking of all the checks made out to me that would be in it. Guess What? There were no bills there today. Say, what you want, Nevertheless, I was not drawing any bills to me by thinking about them. Say what you want, that is Victory! In fact, there was a $10 OFF coupon in the mail today.

Allow me to finish this post with; “Not that I have this working perfectly in my life!” Nevertheless, “This is a manifested reality that I partake of Daily!”

Before I return, make a comment. Refute my perspective and/or ask a question! As I close this post, be it known that, “I Shall Return!” Be Blessed, 1 aka DP

Scriptual Re: NKJV

[*1] Mar 11:23 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. :24 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

VII More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

Thank you for returning and I will continue with my thought:

What do I do about the ‘Loop Mode’ and how do I implement change for my betterment?

Remember that the subconscious looks on what we are thinking, as reality. Even though, consciously we know that what we are thinking about is not real.

After explaining the trap of revisiting, rehearsing and reinforcing those thoughts and giving Scriptural examples, my friend asked, do I have times that the thought &/or direction seems to disappear? When I answered yes, she wanted to know what I did in that situation.

Now after establishing the thinking process that I will explain below, as my way of life, I stop where I am at, knowing that I am wandering down the path of my choosing. I check in with my LORD and look for the proper order of direction. One of two things happens. After a few seconds, (Though at times it seems like an hour.) I become aware of a new direction or the seemingly lost thought now quickened and I will continue on, now plugged back into Devine Inspiration.

Before I go any further here, I need to reflect again, how exciting it is to write my thoughts. In order to put them to words, they go through a process that even clarifies my beliefs to my self. Keep in mind that should you not believe what I am explaining, then it will not be true for you, even though the Devine Laws that my thoughts are based on will continue in your life anyway. You will be oblivious to them.

Again, my thoughts are not that anyone would believe as I do. Yet, may they allow you to see what has been going on in your own life and afford you an opportunity to do something about it.

Explaining to my friend, in reflection, when speaking in the past and wishing I had not said, what came out of my mouth. There was (and is again when needed.) an ongoing discipline of what I call ‘The Four ‘R’s’. Allow me to explain them before I continue.

1. Recognize: doing what one should do or not doing something that is a detriment to a positive direction and that it will be addressed! {Out Loud} Example: “I ‘Recognize’ that negative thought that I will fail and want no part of it!


2. Repent: of it [And first group ask for forgiveness!] [Keep this in mind that it is not necessarily Sin. There are weights that hold me back. *1] {Out Loud} e.g. I repent of that thought of failure! [Father forgive me of it, In Jesus’ Name! *2]


3. Renounce: the hindrance [in JESUS' Name] And Proclaim that I will never, never, ever, partake of that ‘Thought of failure again’ {Out Loud} ... [In Jesus' Name! *2] {No matter how many times!}

4. Resolve: That I have Recognized ‘that negative thought of failure’ and I have Repented of it [& and Asked for forgiveness] and Because I have no doubt, It has been dealt with [*3] and it to never be again! {Out Loud} {no matter how many times I need 2 do it!!! i.e. the sub-conscience deals with it, as being the first time and finalized!}


It is 'The Action' that brings 'Faithing' [*4] into fruition! Remember that to ‘JUST’ think these things are only the beginning! One will not say anything Out Loud unless they Believe what they are saying! [*5] ENuf! It is not even Sunday!

Being conscience of what comes out of the mouth to begin with. [*5] and making application there. Nevertheless, it starts in the thinking process, [*6] and when I Recognize the negative or un-wanted thought, I immediately incorporate the other three ‘R’s and choose another direction. That is a process of discipline that when it becomes a habit that I can just stop and continue in the positive or wanted direction as a reflex.

Regardless of what group you belong to, make these thoughts an advantage and applicable to you in business. Call it a ‘Still Small Voice’, ‘Intuition’ or a ‘Random thought’. To one, it is The Holy Spirit and to the other, the universe, a brass doorknob or what other object you believe or not in. No offense intended, only stated to make the point in order to continue.

Speaking of continuing, I shall return to bless you, 1 aka DP

Scriptural Re: NKJV

[*1 Hbr. 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, ;]

[*2 Jhn 14:13, And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. :14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.; Also see: John 15:16; 16:23-26;]

[*3 1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.]

[*4 Please note that ‘Faithing’ is not a word in English. Nevertheless, it is the present tense, participle, indicating The Action Based On What Is Believed.]

[*5 Mat 15:10 When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear and understand: :11, "Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man." :12, Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?" :13’ But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. :14, "Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." :15, Then Peter answered and said to Him, "Explain this parable to us." :16, So Jesus said, "Are you also still without understanding? :17, "Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? :18, "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. :19, "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. :20, These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."] Also see: Mark 7:14-23;

[*6 Luke 6:45 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.]

VI More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

I Talk about The ‘F’s today and to touch on the reason why. When I have mentioned ‘Filters’ there is a very important factor that one needs to consider. Blind Spots called Scotomas are controlling issues that keep us from seeing what realty is for us. The hump to get over, as discussed before, is that our thinking is controlling what we think is real for us. Let us look at that sentence again.

Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of many years.

How many did you count? Three or maybe even five? There are six ‘F’s in that sentence and the reason that we are blind to three of them is that we see the ‘F’ in of as a v, because that is the way we pronounce it. (ov) Our thinking controls what we see!

In addition, how we see, controls how we think and in turn act. (See Scriptural Notes Below) Nothing to do with blind spots per se, though should we see an adult about to walk in front of a car, we would yell at them to watch out. Now under normal circumstances, should we see a toddler about to step out into a busy street we might yell for sure, though at the same time, run to intervene. Who we are responds that way and like this situation above is very positive.

I was talking to a friend of mine today and she came to a place where she lost her direction or train of thought. She responded with having a senior moment! I ask her not to go down that path and exhorting her that we reinforce the ‘Loop Mode’ I mentioned in the last post.

Let me endeavor to explain that ‘Loop Mode’. What we are thinking about will draw those thoughts into our future. Should those thoughts be our past, (Good or Bad) by replaying them, (Thinking) we are rehearsing them into our future. In other words, as we think about yesterday, today, we live them again tomorrow. i.e. ‘Loop Mode’!

Now the sub-conscious does not know the difference between what truth is and what it is not. It accepts what is thought with the most vividness and intensity, as reality whether it is true or not, thus in its creative mode will do what it has to, to keep us there. e.g. every thought we ever had that would reinforce that direction is brought to mind and mindlessly we allow that to be the criteria on which we decide to remain there.

What do I do about the ‘Loop Mode’ and how do I implement change for my betterment?

A good place to take a break and I shall return next time and continue.

Scriptural Re: NKJV

Mat 6:22, "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. :23, "But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!;

Luk 11:34, "The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.

:35, "Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.

:36, "If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."

V More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

OK!

We have established a few things, thus far. 1. My Agenda, (Below); 2. There is more than two realms, (also Below); 3. There are at least ten dimensions, (also Below); 4. We are what we think, (also Below); 5. Most all things that are available need to be appropriated, (also Below); … Things like gravity need not be appropriated, Nevertheless, we are still govern by it! 6. The Sub-Conscientious is creative, and will do what it has to, to keep us safe and comfortable, i.e. in the ‘Loop Mode, In fact read the Post below before starting on this one!

There is a need to mention that influences part of this is blind spots called scotomas that do not allow us to see reality. Differ you may, Nevertheless, here is an example. Read the following sentence and when you are done, count the f’s and write your count down, close by for future reference.

Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of many years.

I need to move on to the next thing that is a part of what the Creative Sub- Conscientious does to keep us in that ‘Loop Mode’ that will keep us from prospering. This is all areas of our lives, though I will hone in on The Business aspect for the benefit of these thoughts. The next thing we will look at is what comes out of our mouth, i.e. what we say. Now I have addressed this way back in the beginning of this Blog.

The next aspect to consider, as we proceed down this path of discovering what hinders our change for the better, in business is what we do with what and how we think. Self-Talk is an important part on how we see and understand the realm in which we walk. This is what each individual calls (His or Her) Reality.

We are always ‘Thinking’ in the first person, as, I am going to do this, (or That) or I should not have done that, or Oh Oh you have messed up now, etc.

By monitoring our Self-Talk we can tell if we are changing our perspective of our self, hopefully for the better. Or in the sameO rut of ‘Loop Mode’.

Now if you do not believe this is true then there is not much use of you taking this any futher. On the other hand should this start to make sense then continue to follow along, as I give more data with what you can work into your understanding.

Before we stop writing this post, do you remember how many f’s you counted in the sentence above? Did you get 3 or even 4? Next time we will tell you how many and why.

IV More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

By now you should know if you are part of the First Camp or Group Two. Read Post below should you need to freshen up your understanding!

Most of you who read this Blog have my agenda dialed in.

Number One. Is for all to have the information to decide where they are choosing to spend eternity.

Number Two. To encourage Believers to be Partakes of God’s Kingdom in ‘The Here and Now”!

Number Three. And not near, as important as the first two, is to gather my thoughts on How I see what is going on in this place we live, that is bound by “Time & Space”!

Again, Acts 17:11, not as I think, Nevertheless, to have other things to weigh where you are at, in your walk with (or without) God.

I believe this will lead to where we can mesh the secular truths with what God’s Word proclaims about what HE has put here before us to partake and participate in this HIS Kingdom.

A good place to begin is again to establish that we living in at least two different realms. See 2Co 12:2

I have talked about this before, yet will re-iterate in order to get this rolling. Again be cautioned that our filters built through our lives control not only how we see things, also influence how we think about any and Every thing. I spell those filters out in a little more detail HERE.

Rabbi Moses Maimonides in the 12th century realized by reading The Torah that there are at least ten dimensions. There are four that we are aware of; Length, Width, Depth/Height and Time. What is overwhelming is that there are six dimensions that we are not consciously aware of and only understood and explained by Quantum Physicists and little children. Do not worry, I am not going there. (For right now, anyway!) ;-)

Oh YEA! BUSINESS!

Keep in mind that there are Spiritual aspects of GOD’s Kingdom that some in Group One are not even aware of and some in Group Two utilize every day, though they call it something else.

We have touched on some of these things in the past, yet today … applied to Business. I will endeavor to spell out the Secular view and confirm with Scripture.

Controlled by those filters we think about what is important to the sub-conscious mind. Most of the time, we are not aware that it is in control. It will kill in the extremes to protect us and/or keep us comfortable. (Pro 23:7a for as he reasons in his heart, so is he!) and (Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is the good and pleasing and perfect will of God.)

It is a discipline to over come the old ways of thinking and to make deliberate changes that keep us in slavery on the plantation of old thoughts.

What we think about our self is reinforcing who we are and we fall trap to doing the same things the same way, expecting things to change and never seeing fruition. What we think about is actually drawing us from the now into the future of those things from the past. You might call this being in the ‘Loop Mode’.

In other words, whether group one or two, if what we think is Negative, that is “where we Were” which is controlled with “where we are”, which will keep us, “where we will be”! Moreover, the Contrary is, also true! I will use the verse, ‘the lamp of the body is the eye’ again. Mat 6:22&23;What you look upon with darkness will only reveal darkness and to look with light will, for the same reason show you the Positive!

Allow me to finish with this, which will compound, that spelled out above:

Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Your Business is producing directly proportional to your thinking! Keep in mind, Group two knows this and acts accordingly. It is a Divine Law.

Group one has more going for it, yet like salvation, it needs appropriation. I hear believers over and over again make statements as, “If God wants me rich, HE will drop it on me!” or “If God wants me to speak in tongues, HE will slap me with it!” Or words to those effects. Nevertheless, for either to happen (Which may be a Thought in another post!) would mean, ‘A Bolt of Lightning and a Burning Bush’ happening at the same time!

In the next post we are going to look at what we say and how that effects our Business!

Until then, Be Blessed, 1 aka DP

III More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

Please excuse my delay getting back here to business in its real sense, as I am still endeavoring to Build Business that will help sustain this calling. And while doing that I am in constant awe how, so many, in Group One (Those who know they are on their way to Heaven to be with God & HIS SON.) pass the ‘Kingdom Laws’ on by, because they think that going down those paths will either lose their salvation or at least ‘T’ God off at them! And let me throw this at you one more time!

Luk 16:8 And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light.

I had the pleasure of attending my 2nd “Toast Master’s Club” meeting yesterday and listen to a speech by a Chinese Immigrant, even with her accent, she had command of the English Language. Enunciating every word precisely, her topic was “We will come back! Her husband is a financial planner and even with everyone bad mouthing the economy, his glass is always half full! (Vs half empty)

She used a 2 foot by 3 foot picture (-Graft - That normally hangs in their office.) of the economy showing the rise & fall of commerce in the US over the last century. Through every drop, there was a great growth following, where the people caught the momentum and those who had a mind to, prospered.

Her assurance was not so much in her husband’s optimism as it was in the cyclic record of the past. FDR’s Inaugural Quote, “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself!” rang thru her conclusion and close.

As a guest, I was to comment before the meeting closed. I commended that Speaker (Being an Immigrant) for her enthusiasm, and her patriotism nearly having me jump to my feet to wave my flag!

I quoted:

Mat 6:22 The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

Mat 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness!

And I continued with, every time I hear any negative things about the economy, as I look around I see all the construction going on. Apartments being built, even with the ‘So Called Housing Failure’, on going street work in progress, parking lots full with people coming out with baskets full of ‘Stuff’, only shows me the ‘Glass Half Full’ is getting close to the rim.

Now I am aware that what I am about to say will no doubt, give members of the 1st group reason to cross their index fingers between me and them, as I am branded (AGAIN), as an Heretic, Nevertheless …

Giving thought to the secular perspective of The Scriptural Truth Above, and “The Law Of Attraction” that members of group two, take this Devine Law to its zenith and prosper in spite of what the economy, government and politics try to dictate! (Even though they will end up in Hell, by not appropriating the most important Truth, i.e. what Jesus accomplished at The Cross! I Cannot Help It; I am a Preacher!)

I have had they opportunity to offend both camps now and will post this for your observation, perusal, and/or comments.

Please be advised that I am not done yet and “I Shall Return!” ;-) Be Blessed, 1 aka DP

AND More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

Let us get back to the two groups that have the same measure of faith from June 21. There is a reason why believers never enter into ‘The Kingdom’ and for the same reason non-believers do.



This is a good time for a commercial break and to hear from my Sponsor. The Banking Industry, Treasury Department, FBI etc., train their people to recognize counterfeit money by handling the real thing over and over again that later when a phony bill passed thru their hands, they instantly knew it was wrong. Over three decades ago, bowed down to Alcohol, A Filthy Mouth and Tobacco I was looking for ‘The Answer’. Saved at eleven, tho never grounded in The Word, if I died I did not know what would happen to me. See my Story starting HERE.



I was looking everywhere for the answer. I read a book on Buddhism and was two-thirds thu it when I was supposed to understand some concept (To Continue.) and knew I had missed something. It was boring. (To me.) I was not going to start over again to get back where I could finish the book and that was the end of that. By The Way! Budda was dead 500+- years before man made him a god. Jesus walk here on earth and Said, “I AM”! (John 8:58) This is Important for keeping up to speed on these thoughts.



Up until 2 or three years ago I stayed in the Word of God and anytime something contrary to what God Said would come up, I would by instinct (By those years of training in Truth only.) go right to the passage that had already proven to me, (Hey! That is another great thought to elaborate on later!) and know how to refute the un-truth. OK End Of Commercial!



We spoke on Paul recognizing that some were worshiping God, yet knew Him not. Here is where the first group is going to get their feathers ruffled again. We spoke last time on God has revealed Himself to all and are without excuse. (Rom.1:19-20) Stay with me now!



Mankind has come to know that ‘Likes’ attract each other. Do Not argue, … how many maxims do you know that say, ‘Birds of a feather, flock together’, in one way or another? This is in both groups. Call a youngster a dummy long enough and he or she will soon ‘Know’ they are!



So, … everyone knows of God or chooses not too. They ancient sages understood Who He was and learned His Laws mostly by intuition and if not, by trial and error.
Luk 16:8 And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light.



B U T ! Most did not ‘Know’ Him Personally, until God showed Himself in The Person of Jesus The Anointed! (Christ). Tho Not Knowing Him Personally they DID understand HIM and HIS Ways. Paul counted himself a debtor to all, (Rom. 1:14) no doubt a master &/or sage in Truth from other Philosophies and/or Religions.


Enough so, that to him it was mandatory that he repay that knowledge by introducing all to God in the Person of God’s only Son Jesus. Reciprocity, another law as valid as gravity! Luke 6:38



Now to, … group two, like those in group one who do not believe and do not partake in all that God has in His kingdom, you can partake of the kingdom and all its benefits and wind up in Hell should you not accept what was done for you on The Cross. We have been down that road many times here.



What is a crying shame is all those in the first group on their way to heaven and never participating in HIS kingdom while here on earth.



I will talk about that next time! Be Blessed, 1 aka DP

More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

Loved Of The LORD, I need to pick up again and let me start with that premise that God is not a respecter of persons and if HE is, as far as you are concerned then no doubt you have not that measure of Faith that the rest of us have. (As a starting place.) (Rom. 12:3) Believers and Not! Tho at this time, let me not Judge you on whether you are or not! Go Back to June 21, to pick up from the begining.



Moving on!



What you have done with it is obvious by the mindset you have established and too adhered.



Not going back and rehashing those filters, every one makes a decision what they are going to do with it.



As a starting place somewhere in ones life, the invisible God has revealed Himself and is understood by the thing that are seen. Paul says, The Godhead and His Power are evident and clearly seen by the Righteous and Unrighteous, thus all left without excuse. (Rom.1:19-20) On the premise and for me the proof that the Word Of God is ‘Truth’ (John17:17) Spoken by The Word Himself, (John 1:1, 14)



In the Eleventh chapter of The Gospel According To John. Jesus was late … from the perspective of Lazarus’s two sisters Mary & Martha. (I will address GOD Never being late … In future Post.) When Jesus went to the graveyard He said, ‘Lazarus Come Forth!’ Now it Does Not say this in Scripture, Nevertheless, He being Who He Was/Is and saying only, “Come Forth” the Graveyard would have been vacated by all its residents!



Martha told Jesus that her brother had been dead four days and ‘Stinketh’. (Jews believe that the spirit hangs around for three days and 40 days are important to them too.)



Now having read the Bible through over 30 times, not counting Studies and Prep for messages, (There will be some that call this bragging. Nevertheless, this will establish that I have some understanding under my belt.) I hear the 40th verse over and over again all thru every book in one-way or another.



Gatten Paraphrase: My People ask Me to show them and they will believe. I tell them to Believe and they will see the Glory of GOD. BTW that was the reason that it looked like Jesus was Late.



Now if you do not believe my premise above, (i.e. everyone is given same measure of Faith, then you are not using what you were given, … poor steward. Mt. 25:26 & 26) then John 11:40 comes in play and you never will. WHY? Because you Do Not Believe. Do not be under any kind of Condemnation, should you have a problem in believing, (& I am not your Judge.) Rom. 8:1, Just ask for help. Mt. 7:7&8 and Mark 9:24.



Now the ground work is laid, let me move on to the two kinds in Business. … Done run out of time. Will pickup here next time. Do not lose your place! Be blessed, 1 aka DP

More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

OK We go back to those Thoughts on Business and other Belief Systems.

The reason for the delay on getting down and dirty on this issue is that I was introduced to a continuation of my trek on writing. Always Faithful, The LORD allowed me to not only get encouragement on writing, yet at the same time learn to give my brethren who are judges even more room to allow GOD to work in their lives too. Twenty-five years ago I found myself, as the judge of the judges. What In The World Are You Talking About, you sez. I am glad you asked, I sez.

I had a ‘Left Brain’ direction that I was trying to get to, yet those random ‘Thoughts’ seem to take off in a tangent from the ‘Right Brain’ that keeps me from addressing ‘Business and other Belief Systems.

OK I give up! I would hear these Judges of The Brethren make statements like, that Ministry (And/Or Preacher) is a reproach to The Body Of Christ. My (our) Ministry is above admonishment, because I (we) would not allow anything like that to happen. I would think, “The Audacity of that person to judge his brother (Tho not admit he was.) that way. ‘Except for The Grace of GOD, there go I!’

I would beseech The Throne Of Grace with why … would they do that? … NO Why am I aware of this?

Finally, I heard, (Tho one of the reasons that I was having a hard time hearing, was because I did not want to hear that revelation!) “PRAY for him!” What a wrestling match that was!

It took a while to want to; yet finally after a season I found myself praying for the Audacious Judge.

WHOA! I need to back up. We were supporting a ministry on a regular basis for several years and one day I approached my wife with, “Are we to continue?” With out hesitation she said that she was about to ask me about it and we stopped support on the spot that day. Seven years later that ministry fell and it was from things that were going on seven years before, when quickened to stop support!

Then up jumped the ‘Audacious Judge’. And several months after that the ‘Audacious Judge’ was literally caught with his pants down. And after repenting and asking everyone under Heaven (Including his wife.) to forgive him, AGAIN Several months later in the same boat. (Cab)

I then knew why the calling to judge The Judges. So I could pray for them. All I can say is that I was glad my name was not Jim.

OK Be sure to Note! That there goes I, except for the Grace Of GOD! How big does the carrot need to be, before The Man of GOD files down that path? Now after that LONG Season of not being aware of the Judges, here I am Again. They are getting my prayers and watching closely … where I am at and where I am going. Pray for me Too! GOD Knows I need it!

All I know at this moment is, those above were ‘Random Thoughts’!

I will endeavor to get back to: “Thoughts! “Other Belief Systems For Business” soon. Keep your eye opened! Be Blessed! DP “I shall Return!”
