Greetings sisters and brothers in Jesus Christ. I am greeting you today with a tranquil mind. I have meditated on these things according to the Word of God.
"The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:9.
The things I saw...
It was as if I was in the spirit, as I stood above a darkened earth. And it's as if I'm standing before a panoramic vision. The first thing I notice is the thousands of animals that appear to be parading upward towards heaven. A brilliant light glows from heaven like a spotlight. The light is similar to a bright moon glowing in the sky at night. And the windows of heaven have opened up. This light shining from heaven is directing the path of the animals. It is a most unusual sight. The animals appear to be in some type of parade. They are gathered close together, like a shepherd would guide his flock of sheep. All the animals are parading in a straight line towards heaven. The animals are of various kinds, or breeds. And they are from every type of kingdom. I notice that the animals appear as ghostly images, as if they are in spirit. Because, they are not in their earthly image, and they vary in different sizes both great and small. The animals are unnumbered in the thousands.
It's almost like seeing animals described in pictures, as going into Noah's Ark. Only this time I'm watching the animals parading up into heaven. I turn and look to my right, and see a giant like image of a Trumpet Swan glowing in the darkened sky, as if it was resting, or waiting. The Trumpet Swan sat perfectly still in its radiance.
Lord, I pray that these words are not taken out of context in any form or manner. Grant it to be taken from him sevenfold, if anyone distort these words, as I have written these things, as I have seen them. I have described, to the best of my ability, what You have allowed me to see. Lord, I pray, let your will be done according to Your soon coming kingdom. Please, remember me, O Lord God of heaven, according to how I have tried to do Your will. And let Your peace be with me. You are a Great and Awesome God. Your glorious works are majestic. And You keep Your promises and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments. In Jesus name I pray.
I have just testified to the things that I have seen. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with everyone.

My Prayer Of Serenity
A TIME SUCH AS THIS
A Time Such As This...
causes me to mourn
causes me to mourn
and reflect about my life.
A Time Such As This...
brings together the family
A Time Such As This...
brings together the family
and the friends,
of the dearly loved one,
who has recently died.
A Time Such As This...
reminds me of how God
is sifting out and reclaiming
what was His from the beginning.
A Time Such As This...
confirms how time
has changed, over-the-time,
what God had
originally set into place.
A Time Such As This...
gives precedence to how man
can change, or manipulate the time
according to how he lives his life,
apart from the way God desires him to live.
A Time Such As This...
shows me that what God
has already ordered,
in the life of mankind,
cannot be changed.
A Time Such As This...
of an untimely death in life,
cannot be changed
unless God changes it.
This Is Why,
a time such as this...
causes me to mourn
and reflect about my life.

TERRORISM???
According to New Roget's Thesaurus (1990 Edition), Terror can also be... Fear, Timidity, Nervousness, Restlessness, Anxiety, Distrust, Hesitation, Misgiving, Suspicion, or WANT OF CONFIDENCE!
Who is not familiar with any of these words?
Did Mr. Stack experience any, or all of the above emotions? We'll never know now will we? Do we still believe in the old adage, "I'm not my brother's keeper?"
IS IT LAWFUL TO PAY TAXES TO CAESAR?
Jesus said, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." - Matthew 22:21.
So who is the real terrorist? I want to know who people think the real terrorist is really, and who is actually striking FEAR into the hearts of men. There's a war going on not only between nations, countries, friends and foes; there is a war going on beyond the natural realm of the five senses (seeing, touching, smelling, tasting, and hearing). This powerful war is waging in another realm, of invisible forces all around us. Hollywood has turn this spiritual realm into a fantasy for entertainment. And, I would imagine that the principalities, powers, spiritual hosts of wickedness, and the true rulers (definitely not fantasy rulers) of the darkness, in the heavenly places, are thoroughly entertained by humanity's ignorance of truth, and factual knowledge. And these powerful influential forces are soaking it all in. And maybe even acquiring new strategies from the imaginations of men. Not as if these spiritual forces needed any though. I'm sure they have it all worked out among themselves. Because many of us are still confused, amazed, and unsure of what is really going on in the world today.
...He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. Luke 1:51b.
We have already been instructed in how to put on THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD. Ephesians 6:10-18. Are you prepared yet? We have been told about world events getting worst before anything gets better. "Surely, it's OK for us to go on living our lives as if we please. What's wrong with being in our comfort zones, watching the world behind closed doors, hoping nothing will affect us, and upset the perfect balanced world that we have created for ourselves, in our minds? Isn't that normal living?"
This is a normal life for humans perhaps. But not for the ruler and the real principal powers of this world! AND IT'S NOT GOD'S WAY FOR US TO LIVE.
The worst is still yet to come! "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8.
Were the conflicting opinions, between Mr. Joseph and the IRS, a perfect opportunity for the adversary to strike? Who gives the adversary opportunity to strike terror in the hearts of men? "But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive to do his will. But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come..." 1 Timothy 2:23-26; 3:1.

Other revelant scriptures:
"You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me." John 8:44-45.
"Be angry, and do not sin", do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil... Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Ephesians 4:26, 29.
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8.
Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison... Revelation 20:7.
Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God. Philippians 1:27-28.
"Have we forgotten about what we should have learned from the holy scriptures already?"
THIS WORLD IS GOING TO END IN FLAMES!
WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN WARNED

ABOUT THE THINGS GOING ON IN THE WORLD TODAY!

Are You Prepared To Meet Jesus?
If Jesus Christ returned, at this very moment, TODAY would you be prepared to meet Him? On His terms instead of yours? You are invited to join me on a Spiritual Journey as I explore some answers to questions about losing your old life (worldly living) and finding a new life (The Tree of Life). I can assure you that this will be a fascinating journey. I am a new "born again" babe in Christ. Please take note when I say babe, and not Christian. My experiences with a few closet Christians have been very disappointing to say the least. But that's another story to share at a later time.
It would be blissful thinking, if I believed that I could continue to live my life on my own terms, and not be held accountable for it. When Jesus Christ first walked the earth, after He came into the world as a human being, and not as the awesome Spiritual Being that He was at the beginning of Creation {In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. John 1:1-3}; Jesus Christ said, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth, I did not come to bring peace but a sword." "For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daugher-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's enemies will be those of his own household'. "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. Matthew 10:34-38 (NKJV). This was a powerful message of prophecy. And this message , from another era, is still in effect. It was a message of warning that is affecting the lives of many people even today.
Jesus Christ's prophetic message of warning affected my life, during a time when my mother believed that I loved my father more than I loved her. And perhaps I did since I was a "daddy's" baby and mama's maybe? No. Seriously, I dearly loved my mother very much. But, it was my Dad who was a great influential father figure in my life. Jesus prophetic message also appeared to affect my mother's life, when she also believed that her own mother didn't love her, in the way she felt she needed to be loved. I assume this was her reason for thinking that way, because I never actually explored the issue, during that time in my life. In remembrance, I probably gave it a distracting thought. My attention to the matter was about the same as it was when I first heard about, or read the prophetic message that Jesus was teaching people centuries ago. Did I love my own father or mother more than I loved Jesus? We're my mother's issues, about whether she received enough love from her family, greater than the love she was showing for Jesus? So, being imperfect humans, are we more generally concerned about what our needs are than about focusing on what Jesus is telling us, what our priorities should be?
Now, neither of my parents are alive today. And I'm being confronted with some revealing truths about my life, and the manner in which I've been living my life. That is why I believe the prophetic message that Jesus Christ gave, when He walked on the earth, is more effective in the world today than ever before. I've encountered enemies in my household too. Jesus was giving us a warning about what we should expect to happen in our lives. And these events were certain to happen to us regardless of what we thought our lives should be like. If we are not experiencing life as we expect our lives to be experienced, then we should not be surprised or bewildered about the problems that affect our lives. And no technologically advanced cosmetic "quick fix" procedure in any form, shape, or substance will be of any value to us either. WHY??? Because Jesus said, "...he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. (v.38)" and, "He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it." Jesus said it then, I believe it now, and that settles it for me!
My journal is about truth, actuality, and phenomenal experiences about my spiritual journey in this world. I've lost contact with some old friends, met many new friends, and a few enemies along the way. But, I've realized that outward appearances can be, and often are very deceiving. The small number of enemies, I encountered along the way, was very instrumental in helping me realize what a great blessing it is to work for the Lord. The more enemies I had the opportunity to meet, the greater the blessings flowed. Enemies can serve as a sign that you're on the right track with Almighty God. And they can actually help you improve your spiritual growth. So, I love my enemies! "You help me realize my 'open doors', and remind me what I need to do to keep then closed against adversity." The Lord has revealed to me, through His Holy Word, that He prepared a table for me in the presence of my enemies.
Nehemiah's enemies attempted to interfere with his walk with God. But, Nehemiah stayed in obedience to the Word of God, and he "kept on keeping on". Anyway, enemies are only earthly agents of the real adversary, Satan. In other words, enemies are like puppets on a string. Anytime you start obeying God, and begin working in the ministry for the Lord, the puppeteers start appearing in great numbers, and promptly began attacking you from every direction. The Lord prepared a table for Nehemiah, and He'll prepare a table for me too. Therefore, I forgive all those who have wronged me. I don't have a heaven or a hell to put anybody in.
