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.

Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

As you can see, I have ‘kind of’ let this lay for a while. I have had to look at the ministry that I have been called to and had to make more room for those who believe they have it all dialed in. i.e. Not just their Relationship with The LORD, yet including everyone else’s too. I have a lot to say about this, yet I will only touch on it now.

I have a brother, my Mother’s third child, (There are six of us, in case it matters.) [whew! How much is enough? I am the oldest.] who has just had over half of his tongue removed, because of a malignant growth. Cells in his tonsils and lips that will be treated with radiation. He made The Lord Savior years ago, yet soon after, pursued his own direction. He has a pacemaker and has had so many things happen to him that he should have been dead years ago. e.g. Billiard Balls bounce off his head, etc. In other words, he has not made HIM LORD of his life.

Saturday he told me that because of his heavy drinking and smoking, he was a whole lot more susceptible to it! Sunday when I questioned him on what he thought about all the (Really Miraculous.) chances he has had, he again informed me that if he woke up with a shovel full of dirt in his face that he would be with The LORD! I was not asking him about that, yet he let me know emphatically that that was already established and poured in concrete.

My Aunt, who is 89 and been praying for all of her brother’s off spring since we were born … WOW and I was going to make this quick! My Aunt inferred that in spite of all her prayers, that he was not saved, when questioning her how she knew, her reference was to all the sin of drinking and smoking. (Please Note that this is more involved and I am doing my best to ‘Cut To The Chase’.)

I have a spiritual son, (One of Many.) who has left wife and family to move in with another woman. (I had got wind of it several months ago and it broke my heart. I have been ministering to him for close to 30 years.) He told me that he (and this other she) has been in church seeking God’s Face more in the last three months than he and the first, she had, in two decades. By The Way, he is not the first one who has done this. (Some might [like to] say, ‘Like Father, Like Son’! ‘Pretty close’, yet I took a step of Faith, that has brought in Fruition for over thirty years.)

When explaining this to my aunt, as another reference to where my brother was, above, she implied that he was not saved, because of this horrendous sin. Well anyway, he called me this morning and assured me one thing he knew for sure, was that God loved him without reservation. When it boiled down to the nitty gritty his sin is being a double minded man, unstable in all his ways. Everything else is only circumstances and ramifications of that root, ‘Lack Of Faith’.

In other words, even tho she knew it, it was hard to convey to her that there was no difference in those horrendous sins above and her breaking a fingernail and saying, ‘Turkey Lips’ knowing that she was cursing when she said it!

Well my brother is now reflecting on whether it is important for him to hear in that day of reckoning, ‘Well Done, MY Good and Faithful Servant’ or not.

My protégée has today a foundation of Knowing that God loves him without reservation and is now in the process to establish his next step on building on that foundation.

Now! That I have that established, I will continue next time with “Thoughts! “Other Belief Systems For Business” By The Way, for you who are wondering about my

“Thoughts” BrainWashing! In ‘Red China’ ‘In The Church’!

To pick up from my last “Thoughts”:

We all have been conditioned by our customs, culture and rearing to believe what we believe!

For over 25 years I have exhorted all that have been placed in my path; Not To Believe What I Believe! I explained to them then and I am explaining to you now that I would pray for them, To Believe What The Word Of God Teaches Them, thru the Precious Holy Spirit, “In Jesus’ Name!” John 15:26;

And now to continue:

Let me only submit this for your consideration! In Red China, there was, (Allow me this choice of words to only ‘cut to the chase’ …) a ‘Brain Washing’ that was brilliant in its design.

Now what is Awesome, I started this … ‘Thought’ several days ago and just now, in order to have something to back up my premise, by ‘Googling’ I came across this article in yesterday’s TIME. Here is an excerpt from TIME Correspondent Robert Neville’s report:

After about five months of hsueh hsi, a group is called to a "thought mobilization" meeting at which all are urged, one after another, to get up and "cast aside, once & for all, their burdensome thoughts." There are warnings that those who still hold reactionary thoughts or have not yet confessed reactionary deeds will sooner or later regret it. What follows is a kind of political revivalist meeting, or a Buchmanite confessional, at which students cry their ideological sins and profess to see the light of reform.

Read the whole article to have a little more understanding of where I am coming from.

WHALLA! The light goes on! Just writing about my thoughts and I find myself here! Please note that I will tiptoe here because of not wanting to turn you completely off.

I have said over & over again, that each one of us has been uniquely made for HIS Pleasure! Check this out to see if it is not some thing you recognize. Regardless of how much you love somebody, whether it is spouse, parent, child, sibling, friend or even mentor and especially pastor somewhere, some place, somehow you will find something that you disagree with him or her. Now to discuss it with them or not … is another issue. (Which I will address later.) Some of it will be because of that uniqueness and some of it by, our customs, culture and rearing. This subtle mind shaping is good in many ways, as we learn our mannerisms manners and behaviors.

Now, let us address an extreme of this way of thinking.

Starting with a toddler dressed in a belt or vest of mock explosives with family and friends encouraging them with remarks how great they look, and how proud they make everyone feel! This continues through their rearing and education with the ultimate goal is to be a martyr that has eliminated what they are taught to call lowly pigs and monkeys who are in fact other human beings. Joy almost ecstasy dying themselves with No regard for the fact that even others of their own people also die to give their god pleasure and an unrealistic reward for doing so.

A quote from The Making of a Martyr:

On March 24^th 2004, fifteen-year young Hussam Abdu was caught at an Israeli border check point with live explosives strapped around his waist. Physically a dwarf, marginalized by his classmates and considered mentally handicapped by his family, it took only forty-eight hours and twenty American dollars to convince Hussam to violently kill himself as a suicide bomber. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the Palestinian terrorist group that recruited him, did so using two of Hussam's elementary school classmates, each of which they paid one hundred dollars for the job. In an ironic twist of fate, he who had been considered slow and socially inept turned out to be the smartest kid on the block. For at the very last minute, out of fear of death and love for his family, Hussam voluntarily gave himself up to the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) and was subsequently arrested. Charged and convicted with attempted murder, Hussam is now serving out an eight-year sentence in the Ha-Sharon Prison, Israel.

This has been going on for over twenty years and accepted as the only way of life. Stop and think that everybody under 40 years of age is a part of this mind set in one way or another. Like the world not being flat, you may take this or leave it!

This keeps on getting longer and longer and I need to post on ‘The Book’, so I will break now before going on with the subtleties of the ‘Brain Washing in and of The Institutional/Traditional Church’

The Complex Structure Of Design! “Thoughts” On Creation!

Loved of The Lord, More on Thoughts, now as it appears that I am on a roll, To God Be The Glory! As I was before the Lord, a couple days ago, I was thinking all the way back to ‘The Beginning’ and the complex structure of even the amoeba. Try to imagine the magnitude of ‘The Thought’ to begin with, let alone the design of humanity, then how uniquely each one of us … created to The Designers desire. A mousetrap needs six different parts to work. Eliminate any one of them and it does not work. Again, the complexity of the lowly amoeba having only one element removed from the millions that make up its form would also cease to be a living organism.

Now how man thinks he is so smart that he is messing with The DNA! I am reminded of derision about Science and God:

The scientist and God are having a conversation and the scientist tells God that mankind no longer needs HIM. And when asked for an explanation, the scientist continues with, “Now that we can create anything, including human life, there is no need for a Creator.” God responds with, “allow ME to see you accomplish this!” Now the scientist gathers all his paraphernalia on his bench and reaches for a handful of dirt. God clears HIS throat, (as if HE needs to) shaking HIS Head and says, “Uh Uhaa, go get your own dirt!”

Praise God! As I write this “Thought” I see where Evolution is under attack this last week. Reading in (The Miami Herald) in Florida and in Texas, (East Texas Review Newspaper) that Evolution is losing support. Nine Conservative Counties in Florida are rejecting the State endorsed Text Books, because of the text is purporting Evolution as an established fact.

Now listen to this!: They do not want it replaced or even that ‘Design” be taught along side of it. They only want it to be a theory and the weaknesses, as well as the strengths pointed out.

The Texas article is from a progressive perspective, badmouthing the State Board of Education and classifying the downsizing of Darwin to be on the same par as replacing condom distribution with promoting abstinence.

Please understand that I know that the ‘Progressives’ and even the ‘Conservatives’ ‘Believe without a doubt’ that they have all the facts and that their perspective “Is The Only Way It Can Be!”

What is interesting is that I KNOW without a doubt … (Do not hold your breath!) … (Here it comes!) … That There Is No Way I Would Be Able to Convince Anyone Of What I Believe! They ( & me too! … Oh Yea! You too!) have been conditioned by their customs, culture and rearing to believe what they … we… do!

For over 25 years I have exhorted all that have been placed in my path; Not To Believe What I Believe! I explained to them then and I am explaining to you now that I would pray for them, To Believe What The Word Of God Teaches Them, thru the Precious Holy Spirit, “In Jesus’ Name!” John 15:26;

Hoping I have your attention now, I am posting this, as is thus far. Watch for the next segment on “Thoughts”. Be Blessed, 1 Posted 080315 www.wonpreacher.com ©2008
