A Christian Case Against Donald Trump - Learning Something New About Barabbas - An Ongoing Discussion

 

I had to laugh somewhat when I opened today's video... The author, Patrick Kahnke as you have seen from the two videos in the last post--is soft-spoken and humble. Dave Johnson, with whom he is interacting is an extrovert who uses his bodily movements to emphasize his words, and is freely giving his personal opinions of the story of the Passover as celebrated by Jesus... Both men have a message to tell!

But, even then, as Johnson told the story, and began to compare MAGA to Christians, he didn't point out what I had found as most important in that comparison... It is learning WHY Barabbas had become criminally involved...  He was an Insurrectionist!

In Matthew 27:16 Barabbas is called a “notorious prisoner.” In Mark 15:7, echoed in Luke 23:19, he was “in prison with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection” against the occupying Roman forces.Jul 30, 2024 just like Trump! 

Folks,  I went out to get a "standard" video of January 6th and found the following one instead. Please be aware that this disgraceful situation in America is exhibited in the first part of the video before a third pastor started speaking. It is so bad, that afterward I wanted to close my eyes to try not to remember all the hate spewed from young men, especially. Now I know why we are really in trouble and, as Kamala Harris said, the underdog. This is a fight like no other. It is NOT fiction. This is the reality of those who support Donald Trump. They want a time when... I don't even want to repeat it... If you don't want to view violent hate, don't watch it. Just accept that we MUST work to keep the republican candidate out of office! 

Getting back to the discussion of the book, I have to admit that the word Insurrection had been unknown to me prior to January 6th. Let's face it the average individual, living a Christian life, without too much involvement in governmental actions--like most Americans in the working class who had little extra time to listen to anything but the local news, I have only a peripheral knowledge of world news. Even studying US history, I don't remember insurrection being used in relation to the Civil War. Nevertheless, it is a stunning awareness, as described in the first video above, that even while Jesus was moving toward his death on the cross, the majority of people--including the religious people at that time--chose to free Barabbas, an insurrectionist, rather than the man who would die for us.

While you might have a response that this was God's plan all along, I, too, would be like Jesus who said at the end, Luke 22:42, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done.” Because, of course, that is a human response just like we'd all have. But, Jesus knew why He was to die--to allow us to know Him--to know God and become a part of Him. And, yet, people at that time, chose Barabbas... And, now, another insurrectionist, who is working against God Himself, is attempting to become an Authoritarian leader who will then choose power over all of us... And, actually, I believe that as shown in Project 2025, there are many others who are far more intelligent than the narcissist Donald Trump, will work to enslave all Americans into their bidding. We WILL lose freedoms we've known in America... The freedoms that God Himself has given to us!

Think millions of criminals with different names, but once was named Barabbas... 

Most pastors whose books I've read, including by Kahnke, speak out against those who have brought religion into politics through Trump's election. Was it not those who were "religious" during the time of Jesus, who had initiated what had happened? Think about it, when Jesus found the sales and money-changers at the door of God's Temple, it was the one and only time that He grew angry and acted. Even then, religion became a part of the political arena as those who were religious where part of the crowds that chose Barabbas over Jesus to be freed...

And, for whatever reason(s), millions have once again chosen to bring religion back into politics. Have we not learned that Christ brought peace, truth and love to those He Died For? Will there always be those who choose a Barabbas to be free rather than Christ our Lord? In fact, most of my readers are aware that I'm presently writing a open Memoir--a Journal of my life while viewing the present period in America. This book, above the others, spoke to me as A Single Christian Woman and so, you all will find many of my personal thoughts as I and the author via videos, speak our truth... May God guide these discussions...

I'm going to continue, but I do recommend that if you are still undecided, as a Christian, about who to vote for in November, get this book! And if you didn't get to watch the Debate this week, check it out! And Make Sure You Plan to Vote!

A Christian Case Against Donald Trump by Patrick Kahnke - An Ongoing Discussion

 

These two videos used in place of excerpt....

I believe a Messenger of God wrote this book. Not because he claims to be. Nor because he speaks against our past president, as I have done many times as well. I believe he is a Christian because his words speak of what his background was, how he was drawn into a conservative life, often reading only what conservatives spoke or wrote. And, then, that he made his own realization that his opinion(s) might, or did, disagree with his church members--those who he was called to care for in a ministry. He withdrew from all things that he felt might have been influencing him. Shall we simply define it as...uninformed... or narrow thinking? I know of this kind of life--one of my nephews was also a Rush Limbaugh follower and became immersed in condemning all things that were...different... Hearing him condemn certain people while saying he loves Jesus just didn't make sense to me, no matter how many times I tried to talk of love, not hate. Thankfully, Kahnke understood just how easily it could be and chose a different path.

Let me quickly point out that there are many of such individuals who, once becoming aware of this, have decided to continue in such a life. While others, such as myself, explored, studied and learned about those who were...not...so...conservative...

For a lengthy time, Patrick Kahnke worked within his church to teach and minister to his church family. Then it was 2016 and a man was running to become the president of America! I identified with his reaction. He and I were both shocked that this man could ever be a candidate to lead the United States. And, when he, and I, saw that there were many Christians supporting his candidacy, he became uneasy, confused and ultimately concerned enough to begin writing and speaking out in videos about what he saw happening. The result is two books, the first which I just bought. I want to better understand the WHY of what happened. I want to talk and share about what has happened. And, to do that, I want to be as informed as I can to be to understand and explain, even if only for myself, WHY it has happened...

When I first started listening to Kahnke's videos, I remembered my very first pastor, Reverend Babel. We were a community with a small church congregation. My mother, among her many jobs to earn money as a widowed mother of four, cleaned and handled things like opening the church, turning on the heat, etc. I remember that Reverend Babel and his wife were guests of many Sunday dinners at our home where she always served her famous homemade chicken and noodles... My point is that we felt close enough to our pastor that we saw him as a caring friend. As I listen to Patrick, I see the same warmth, concern, and, yet, understanding and intelligence, that makes a man a pastor you'd be grateful for having had in your life.

You will find that he writes the same way he talks. He takes each issue and begins to teach from the Bible about what it says. But he considers how and if those who are in his congregation, actually know what the scripture means... And, so, he starts talking about it as we would in a discussion, a small circle of individuals who freely start to ask questions...

In the very first chapter, he begins with a principle: Integrity means following the way of Jesus as we seek his kingdom, and rejecting the way of the world and its earthly kingdoms. My first thought? That is not Donald Trump. But what does the author say as he talks about the way of Jesus versus the way of the world? He first speaks of his own reason for writing the book. For Love--For Jesus, for his family and for his country. And, that he wanted to preserve the world for the future. That was how conservatism was once defined. Personally, I have a problem of anybody being classified into some stereotypical manner that forces another to mold conduct to what somebody defines. With Jesus as my friend, I already knew that what I was what what he had created before I was born. Without going into the science of genetics, all I mean by that statement is that each of us has a part of God within us if we allow Him to speak. I've refused to be classified all of my life. LOL Even if one of

the vice-presidential candidates would condemn me for being a childless cat lady... Yeah...like Taylor Swift... What I want to know is where republicans find all these weird men... 

But Kahnke goes on and quickly points out that his words are about worshipping God:

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.[2] Over the past several years I’ve offered the best of what I have — my time, my focus, my most rigorous thinking — to this labor that many others have also taken on; this ugly, holy work of exposing and defeating the creeping shadow of Trumpism. That shadow has enveloped large swaths of the American church, and many of God’s people now walk in darkness. They scorn the truth tellers and shun those who expose the lies and deception. Sadly, in doing so, they believe they’re offering a service to God. So for myself, this work has become a twofold act of worship. First, I’m working to tear down a deceptive and destructive version of Christianity that slanders God for profit and power; that dares to weaponize God’s name against people he loves — people he created in his own image. And second, I hope to lift up Jesus so people might see him as far more beautiful and worthy of praise than any earthly political leader.

I don't know about you, folks, but I've felt the very same desire... If I were claiming to be a Christian nationalist, as they seem to now be wanting to be called (according to Marjorie Taylor Green, LOL), then I'd be embarrassed to even speak the name of Jesus... who is worthy of praise and NOT Trump! 

Folks, today, I thought I would be writing my review of this book. Yet, I find there is so much to say... So much important information within the book... Am I being led to forget about a review and write about this book on a more in-depth basis? We'll see... Thinking about it, I'll pull parts of this to go on Amazon and then continue as today... Pray for this book. Pray for this time of testing... God is Watching... Listen to Jesus speaking through His Spirit... Turn away from the MAGA world and open yourself to actually listen... to God Speaking...

 God Bless

Open Memoir - Sadly Looking at Today's Headlines... But I Wasn't Surprised...

 

I am a Single Christian Woman who does not support anything that is happening under the guise of the Republican Party's Project 2025! When I realized early on that I was writing about the daily events in my life (and how they might have ended with flashbacks into my early life, never would I have imagined that I would watch the attempted assassination of a man who I've openly disdained since the day I heard the video where he discusses grabbing women... 

Now all that is on television is a minute dissection of that event... over and over and over... I needed some sanity and started looking for taped videos to watch. Today's Fareed Zakaria Sunday show was very informative as most of his are. It was not yet posted on YouTube however, So I chose, the following one... I've watched this group often and found it to be credible, if somewhat biased--but then I am that as well... But I saw the next video which apparently has over a million views...

It seems to me that all of this is just a game for many that have been incited by the former president... Let's face it, that man has literally gotten away, so far, with murder... You don't think so? Well, consider that on January 6th there was one republican groupie that was killed by the Capitol's guards as she was climbing through a smashed entry, as well as a number of those guards that were killed and/or greatly damaged physically, mentally and emotionally when they were forced to defend our Capitol from hundreds of MAGA supporters carrying flags supporting Trump, and also those who were identifying their cults such as White Supremacists and of course the Proud Boys who Trump publicly told them to "stand down and stand by." Since then hundreds have been indicted, many of them, when interviewed, indicated that they were there at the President's request. Indeed, written documentation of emails, I believe, supported their assertions. We saw a number of them express their regret and confusion as the January 6th congressional group questioned them... Sadly, they were apparently only a few who saw what they had been pulled into and were now seeking redemption...

Folks, we have then been witness to what has happened after the Biden/Harris election... I had originally thought that, at last, it was over. Instead it has gotten worse--much worse! For instance...

When I hearken back to where I was when John Kennedy was assassinated, I remember it quite well. I had just been hired in July, 1963, by the West Virginia University Personnel Office. I was hired as a Records Clerk... Working to welcome new employees and make sure a file was created as well as handling the paperwork to get them on the payroll... The Departmental Secretary was charged with my training and we became friends, often lunching together. One day she invited me to walk to her home for lunch. I had no idea that she lived all the way down the main street of Morgantown and it took about 10 minutes to walk. Needless to say we were late coming back. I was upset as we walked back to her office. The Director was there and I started to edge back, trying to escape to my own room... But Mr. Wall called out to both of us to come in and listen to the radio... Our American President had been shot while riding in an open car... We were all horrified... 

But there was no 24-hour news for most of us working people, we went back to our routine that day and kept up with the news to learn what happened. His Vice-President was quickly named as President. The Government went on, sadden, but not affected in any major way... How I wish that would have happened when Joe Biden was elected our new president.

One of the bargains that Trump made with the Evangelical Christians, according to Frank Shaeffer, the son of evangelist Francis Schaeffer, was to place as many conservative judges as quickly as possible. Of course, we learned, when that started to happen, that the plan had already been laid when the Senate Majority Leader refused to even place President Obama's recommendation for a judge on the floor!!!

Little by little we were spotting lies--so many lies by so many political leaders that many of us were shocked and began to worry... That's when I became somewhat of a news hound keeping track of exactly what the republican party was doing...

Some of my readers may recall that my sister had told me when I talked about registering to vote that if I was a Christian I had to vote Republican... And, frankly, that is when my family truly started to see me as an outsider... I first registered Independent thinking I would vote for who I felt was the best candidate. But as days went my and everything started to occur under Donald Trump's presidency, I quickly changed to the Democratic party so that I could vote in our state's primary, according to voting rules.

Now, let's make a quick reference to my very first "professional" job... I was dealing with records from the first day I started, July, 1963, throughout my career--different records, but...records. My point being is that when Donald Trump took classified documents when he was forced to leave the White House, my mind started thinking... Ok, as a records person, I knew that some type of documentation would be kept of all official documents, classified or not. Either a simple filing system or more complicated by using computerization for keeping data-oriented data when I moved into facilities management... In my mind, there was no way that records should have been removed! At a minimum, if something like the "love letter" from the North Korea dictator with whom Trump "fell in love" (his words, not mine), and Trump wanted to keep as a personal momento, then a copy or a request for the original would have had to be made...

Let me illustrate what I did in my last few months working at West Virginia University...I had been reorganized out of my job... that sometimes may happen, but not in the way it was done to me. I will write more on that later. However, what resulted was that I, with the title of Associate Director, was moved into another department where a number of other individuals had a similar level, under my level, however. A new director had been named. He admitted to me he didn't know what to do with me; however, he did have a major concern that he needed to report on. I was given the assignment of creating a comprehensive and documented Deferred Maintenance Budget Proposal, which we knew would be in the multi-millions... I was to work with each department to gather both an identification as well as a calculated estimate of what the cost would be to repair/replace that item... Folks, we are talking about every tree, every walk, every roof, every individual building system, et.al. I'll go into that at another time. However, my point for today is that...that had taken me over a year to create. When I left, I passed out all the documentation, the computer files and the written report to the appropriate people...

There was no question in my mind that I could not retain even a copy of that report for my own purposes. Now, let's get specific, our past president did take boxes and boxes of government documents...

Worse, through his deal, he placed one specific conservative judge into office, who has betrayed her legal office to delay and obfuscate the legal documents case for the benefit and support of the president who put her in office... That case which was/is under a special counsel has been delayed for months. Given my and everybody else's view of what has happened, this case should have been easily settled and prosecuted months ago!

There you have it folks... Here's one individual's perspective, based upon my own personal experience as well as a very-well documented set of facts that we had all been watching--that is. if we watched multiple sources to ensure that Truth was actually... The Truth.

No, I wasn't surprised that somebody took a shot at the past president based upon his own incitement of violence... Or...was it perhaps a conspiracy to make him a martyr? Frankly, after listening to the new president of the Heritage group, who made it clear that if the republican party didn't win that another civil war, without guns, would be next and then he suggested that based upon the rest of the country, that it may have to include violence...

Folks, we have watched as there is no longer the ability to feel sure we are hearing the truth... It has been made clear that lying by Donald Trump was to be allowed and nothing would cause him to stop... Yet, he is now working to return to our Capitol--the Capitol we all watched and saw that he was not doing anything to try to stop its invasion. We have seen the Supreme Court give him immunity beyond any former president. Surely we know that this is a planned effort on the part of many to destroy our government... to destroy our democracy.

I believe God is watching. My God is a God of Truth. My God, through His Son asked us to Love our Neighbors... What is happening, apparently instigated by many different groups, is not an act that could ever possibly be blessed by the God of Truth and Love...

 

God Be With America

Open Memoir - Remembering My Mother on Her Birthday... And Talking to Her About Today's America

 

Happy Birthday Mom! I've been spending a lot of time thinking about you lately... First, realizing that I am now older than you were when you died... And then, wishing you were still living with me in these days that are worse than anybody could have imagined... How I wish I could talk to you daily about what is happening in America, supposed land of the free, yet so much is moving in the wrong direction... I remember you would often when it seemed we were all in a mood, that you would say, "Want me to Sing?" and "Beautiful Dreamer" would come out so that we immediately moaned and laughed... Now I wish you were here sleeping now, as I write... and things would be easier, somehow...

You know, Mom, I never understood your telling me that "God always takes the good ones first when talking about my father having died before I was born. It didn't make sense to me that God could be a part of my not ever having a father. But, then, later, when I learned of You, I knew that I would always have a Father... But perhaps, Mom, your having made that statement when I was young, started me on the road to the "Why?" type of person that I was to become... 

I moved the music box playing "Those Were The Days" to sit on the stand next to my chair, remember my first thought when I bought it for the song, that the old grandmother type in the chair rocking and sewing, never did remind me of you... You were always working, doing something... Mostly for others who paid you as a nurse and more... I think you looked a little like Edith Bunker where this song was played in the beginning of Archie Bunker....

So why am I looking backward today? Because, right now, the republican party is trying to move us back into those early years and the democrats are still trying to do what is right for the people, moving forward instead of backward... And, Mom, there is so much happening with the party that I guess you were a member of, although you never talked about it... All of your family that I know of, other than me, are in the republican party... and I can't help but wonder... Why? Especially after the last decision of The Supreme Court... I can't help but think that there will be nothing to celebrate this July 4th if the republicans have their way...Electing a criminal as our next president...even after what he did in his first term... Why? Mom? Here's what I believe Mom...the same as our democratic president, President Biden:

Mom, what is worse is that the republican party is trying to move away from the teachings of Christ... And, I believe, that many do not truly understand what is going on, including your family... At least one person I'm able to talk to understands...

Mom, I believe that God is leading me in reading the right books and sharing them with those who are seeking answers... And yet, as recently as this past month, family members are unwilling to listen to what I say... Mom, I must follow what I believe God is asking me to do... There is so much hate and violence in today's world... Children are even being killed during school hours! Yet the republican party continues to refuse to do anything about access of guns... I am being guided to speak for God--not my family... I remember Jesus' words that if I go into a place where Jesus' words are not the guiding role in their lives, that I should leave and wipe the dust from my feet...

Matthew 10:14-16 New International Version (NIV)If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.

God is sending so many signs and books to me--nonfiction books that I would never otherwise read...So much is being said and it supports what I believe. I hope you understand that I must put God above family... 

On the other hand, I feel closer to God than I have ever felt before... And know I speak as Jesus... Here's a song that I've adopted as, sort of, an anthem for today's world...

Like It? I remember when we still lived in New Geneva and you'd be lying on the couch in the living room... You'd ask me to sit down and play hymns. Often when there were others there, you'd ask us to sing... Songs about Jesus was so much a part of my early life... And it continues today with new beautiful songs that are being created by the young Americans who are more and more speaking out against the hate, the violence, and the lies... Mom, nowadays, we aren't even sure if what is being said on television is the Truth... I don't mean in fictional programs, but from some news agencies! They purposely lie!  Here's a perfect example, as, after hearing the above full speech from our president, this individual chose to spread lies with it...

Mom, the constitution is in danger! Can you image that, after 200 years, that the republican party and what is called, now, Christian Nationalists, are working against the rights of the people to govern America!

Mom, I remember many years ago that I asked you about our background... I am German on both sides of my ancestral families... Your immediate, and only, response was that "You are American." Today, when I think about that, I realize that you were expressing a very important fact for us--that we were Americans, first, and our ancestors were really not changing that. Now, all I see, Mom, is that the republican party wants to make America a land of "white" people... So what does that mean to all of those in America who were/are non-white. It seems to me that the present republican party is against all that Jesus taught--to love our neighbors as ourselves... And, to love God above all... What I have come to see, and know, is that if those who claimed to be Christians had actually, taken these two--only TWO--guiding points from Jesus, that we would not now be in the situation that we are in! I want to write more about this...but, as your son-in-law Bill, used to say, "That's on another Page..."

I miss you Mom

But I guess birthdays are no longer important, are they? But, for me, and many others, it's a good reminder...

Love, your youngest child

Dr. Jerry W. Hulse Presents The Sleeping Church - Studying the Parable... The Ten Virgins - Open Memoir

 

It's Fascinating How His Spirit Can be Found Just About Anywhere when His love is there... I got chills from what happened, did you?

Beloved, God’s Holy Spirit is the one who will help us be prepared and remember, "He is the best man that is left behind to help us be prepared to serve."

 

 Note: "We must realize that the bottom line in this parable is that some people are not what they appear to be." 

 

Note: " These foolish people were not willing to help serve and make a sacrifice for the Kingdom of God." 

Beloved reader, these young bridesmaids were friends of the bride but chose to take a chance on her wedding by taking shortcuts thinking they could do it their way and hope all would turn out right in the end but they soon found themselves an embarrassment to themselves and to the bride who had placed her trust in them. 

 

Dear reader, there are some in the church today who appear to be ready to meet the Lord but have never surrendered their life to Christ. 

 

Beloved, they go through all the patterns of being right and being a good church member but they have never surrendered to be a servant and serve. 

 Saints and fellow peers, some people have gone forth attempting to build their Kingdom instead of following the command of our Lord to be a light that others may see. 

 

Beloved, because of these five foolish young maidens choosing to do it their way, the wedding party would be made to walk in less light on a dark path. 

Saints, the church body as a whole today seems to be on rocky ground with more and more pastors resigning because of the stress they face every day taking its toll on their life and family. Pastors today cannot trust anybody to help them because somebody will expose them to better themselves at their expense and that is why God placed it on my heart to build a Pastor's Oasis where they can spend a few days alone with God and get recharged. 

 

Beloved, some pastors today make statements that their life feels like a person who has found themselves in a powerful earthquake, the buildings around them are falling, concrete and steel is being twisted to pieces and they are losing their balance. Beloved, these pastors make statements like they feel as if they are reeling back and forth as they try to make sense of what is taking place, and their ability to make sound decisions is limited because of all the shock and destruction that is going on around them. 

 

My question to us dear reader is, "How did we get in this lukewarm condition and what are we going to do to try and make ourselves ready to meet our Lord when he calls?"

 

Beloved, God’s Holy Spirit is the one who will help us be prepared, and we need to bear in mind that the blessed Holy Spirit is the best man that is left behind to help us be prepared to serve and complete the wedding, and He is the one when things are not going well that will flood us with his divine presence assuring us that our groom loves us with a pure intimate providing love that he alone can give to satisfy a lonely heart.          

~~~

Years ago, I had read a study book by John R. Tucker (look to the right) which included an indepth look at the book of Matthew which included the Parable of the 10 Virgins... In this version which is intended for young Christians, beginning at age 9, Dr. Jerry Hulse, also separates out exactly who is prepared for the upcoming visit from the groom...

I remember really loving the song which dwells on the parable... however, yet it really doesn't reflect what Jesus' message was to me... It's that first line of the song, "Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning..." You see, there were many virgins who had been told of the coming of Christ, the Bridegroom. The book talks about those who fell asleep, tired of waiting, or, perhaps, as some would say these days, they were bored. They had nothing to do and were tired of waiting. Or, maybe they played a favorite video game to fill the time, while wondering--Where Is He? Why do I have to wait, surely He knew we would be waiting for Him...

But, really, in Truth, We do not know when He will come to us...to each of us... Of course, this is not really about having oil--or having prepared a large meal assuming it would be on this day or that--but rather that each of us must choose each day who we will follow...

The book is fairly short and has only three chapters. The first dealing with the parable. The second was, for me, somewhat surprising. I don't think I've ever heard a sermon about these people. Yet, in our hearts, we may sometimes find ourselves using the word. Me? I have, especially in the last decade more than any other time... It is about Hypocrites in Church...

I thought it was interesting that the author chose to use the dictionary to define who are hypocrites (I thought that was a wise decision):

Dear reader, the Webster's dictionary defines a hypocrite as a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion, and it also defines a hypocrite as a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.  

 Saints, when someone makes a remark that they are better off where they are than attending your church because there are too many hypocrites in your church are making a statement before all creation that they are spiritual enough to judge the people in that church and without realizing what they are doing, they are bringing a searchlight on their own soul.

Going back to the parable, then, we can easily see that most of us have, at one time or another, chosen "not to be ready" when Christ might come... I have, and have talked about it, and will probably do so again as I write my memoir(s). How often, even as we know that God is a God of Love, who only asks us to love one another, do we find ourselves using hurtful words...

But I must say, however, that we have all seen that Christianity is being used in so many different and offensive ways that we are caught, yes, caught, off guard, not being able to know exactly who are those who claim to be Christians... I think that we must, perhaps for the first time ever, begin to challenge actions by those who claim God is behind what they are doing, especially in America... or in Russia as the leader chose to attack another country for no other reason other than power and a desire for more...

I woke up this morning realizing that I had once again acted on my own emotions rather than placing my faith in Him... He had earlier promised that He was in control of all that could happen... Reminding me, this morning, that he is laughing at us for such fear, because of a lack of, or better said, a desire to help in bringing us back from the brink of chaos here in America. Even while knowing that He has seen this all before, referencing as far back as the day He was crucified, that God's Love is Stronger and Eternal and will Never be Lost to Those who hide behind religions of any kind in order to hate and bring violence upon others of His children...

How soon we forget...

I had a friend send me this pic recently... I think he found it offensive... I found it heartwarming...

Choose this day whom you shall be... God is a God of Truth--of Love... I choose Jesus... Each day... I choose again... Sometimes, stopping and forcing myself to know He is above All... I need not fear...

God Bless,

Gabby

Jesus Took Away My Hate - Open Memoir - A New Message ...

It's 2 AM, I came to write... But Jesus Stopped Me...

I have New Words for you to hear.. Let me lift you from your past, all the hurt, all the pain, all the confusion....I will take it away and help you sing again.. I know you feel My Presence...Relax, I Got This, Remember?  Shelter in my Arms, once again, I am Here...With you... Always and Forever... 

You remember with fondness the woman who told you, finally, that you had been abused, Used for your dedication and knowledge, and then, when you started asking questions, refused to lie for them, explained when they were wrong...even told them that they didn't deserve your respect, what did they do? They tossed you away... But, dear Glenda, you had already followed my guidance...you had followed the words of your pastor to get help, you followed the words of your doctor who said that you had to choose between your job and your life... I am so proud of you that you chose Life...

For, even then, Glenda, I had already started a new path for you to walk... And, when that path became one that you could no longer trust, you once again turned... You turned to me because you've always trusted me and know that I will never talk, talk, talk, let never say anything meaningful to your life's path... 

I Got This, Glenda, You traveled down the new road, alone, until you once again found Me. If I haven't told you lately, I love you, my child... I have given you new songs to sing, you may not know the words, but they are the words that will sink into your turmoil, your confusion at the latest display of hatred, of lies, of pressing closely, too closely, that you feel like you can't breathe...

You are sheltered...Now and Forever...Listen to the many voices I have sent to you, telling of My Love with the world's children. All of my children. I love you all... And, I am so sorry when some force you to pause, to feel pain, the pain of loss, the confusion, the worry and concern, got to remember this or that, can't make a mistake, Truth, I must speak Truth... You want to speak the truth now, but nobody will listen... Yet, they do listen and will hear...

We see and hear the hate spewed, we know you felt sorrow. But, remember, I've Got This... 

I can feel the lift from your shoulders...you are hearing my words, relaxing in my embrace. You are mine... You are in my presence right now...when you've stopped to feel me, to hear me...But, know Glenda, I am with you always...and a day...

By these new words, I want to help you realize that I am speaking to many of my children right now all over the world. They, too, are listening. And they, too, know that Hate and Vitriol--yes you spelled it right--I know I am sliding in words that you've never known or used before...But, dear Child, I know all of the words that have ever existed...don't worry about spelling, for I know you well...Feel free to proofread... You are so good at that, you have been the eyes for so many writers who have wanted somebody to read their words and instinctively know what they wanted to say to the world...

But, now, right now, I want you to hear ME. Really, I Got This... Did you not hear that even Michael is speaking differently...he is calmer, and, yes, I am speaking to him, though he is not as open to my words, his pain is much greater, because the man he trusted did more than abuse him...he lied to him continuously and pretended he cared...but we both know that man cannot care for anybody but himself, sadly...

When your mind flashed to Michael, yes, Glenda, I allowed you to stop and listen again so that I could tell you about my love for Michael as well...you are becoming quite a writer, even editing my words to you... I want to laugh out loud... your edit was needed, I agree...

Instead of trying to use your words...let me speak this time... I send peace to all who will hear ME. LOL, Glenda, stop with the proofreading, it's ok not to capitalize my name, I know your mind is flashing to a memory right now, but it's not your boss, that man who drew a black mark across a letter you had just typed... You retyped it because you cared for your own self-image... But, Glenda, I've seen ALL of your mistakes and I still love you. I will never turn away from You or any of those who have accepted my words, my request to come unto me...

Instead of writing, I want you to go ahead and read it over, correct the errors that have been made as your eyes have been closed, better to listen to my words... Remember, I am speaking of my love to so many others... Listen to the words I've sent...Believe me what I have said... we are talking in that particular song... I speak to You and then you repeat what I've said...and you say I believe... Yes, my child...

Follow your path, but listen for those twists and turns you love so much in your books... One is calling to you right now...to be read and talked about, to highlight the special words of meaning that you find...

Go now, time has past... you are free of all those things that had gone through your mind, of what you felt a need to write...but, not today, Glenda...just stop, now... It is time to rest,  sleep, remember, as the song just said, I am a child of God...Yes, recognize it. Embrace it...

And remember, I Got This! 

Jesus, 

Your Friend, Your Father, Your Truth, Your Love, I AM all that you will ever need me to be... 

I AM

VOTERS: I Support Biden! I Speak Jesus - Biden Speaks Jesus; Trump...Is...BORG! Open Memoir

Picard is Biden

Picard Speaks for Freedom and Democracy

Self Will

BORG is Trump

He Assimilates 

His followers...are...assimilated

It is 4 AM; I Awake From Sleep Shaking, Having a Panic Attack, Can't keep from moving. Got to Calm Down. Many Flashbacks... Comparisons...Rocking Movements: I Know that I Know that I Know..... I have Worked with Jesus Speakers. With Godly believers... 

I have worked...with BORG... Rocking back and forth, sitting... Trying to Calm down... I... Rocking more slowly... still shaking inside... I have seen More of BORG in Power... Where are the Jesus Speakers...? I remember one, only one leader who clearly spoke Jesus...Sadly... But! 

I take deep breaths... I have known many Jesus Speakers working beside me...within my community sphere... So many of BORG in positions of Control... Corporations not allowing easy contact with complaints... Leaders who think they know what to do; and don't...   Leaders who care only about power and money--not their most important asset--people!

VOTERS: There is a difference...between candidates... I have been placed in a position to have watched both candidates daily on the news, in their ads...in their actions...in their words...  since 2016. I am an Independent at heart. Voter Rules forced me to choose... 

In 2016, I chose Democrats... Democrats seek to serve, democrats believe in diversity, democrats show no prejudice toward any person, (as a group) democrats work for the good of the people. It is their...responsibility... They do their job...

In 2016 (and before) those of the BORG were assimilated to ensure America would be changed. BORG assimilates; that is their function; they have assimilated QAnon, Proud Boys, KKK, Nazi sympathizers, White Supremacists, evangelical christianity leaders, christian nationalists, corporate leaders, Fox News,  codependents, gunlovers, those who act with violence, egotists, many republicans you will know they are not christians...they have no love for their neighbor... Their god is power and riches...they are BORG

Joe Biden Speaks Jesus, He even met with the Pope when some questioned his stand on Abortion and other issues... The Pope blessed him... More, however, God has given him the gift of love even through pain and loss. He has the gift of God's empathy... His Love for all mankind... Biden acts on his beliefs and has spent this life dedicated to serving the people of the nation. He is dedicated, strives to do the right thing, even when it is impossible or because of BORG... (Those in the republican party who vote against anything that does not support BORG...which means BORG is against the majority of the people of America...and all God's people in the world.) 

Biden visits with parents of children killed in gun shooting, listening to their parents begging for action against guns... he explains BORG limitations, but pressure against BORG continues... Biden speaks to the BORG prime minister of Israel...who seeks only retribution and power to cover his own offenses... BORG has power not yet stopped by those who speak Jesus... BORG assimilates, taking whole countries, destroying those who do not bow down to BORG... to those who cherish freedom, free will... 

And, Biden weeps... He feels the pain of those suffering, terrified for life, or filled with the fear of not having enough money to provide basic needs of food and shelter to all people... More importantly, Biden acts...within taking office, he created a completely diversified Cabinet to ensure input of information...he prioritized...COVID plans never made by BORG were handled as quickly as possible and he led America in all ways through the pandemic... Infrastructure was funded and implemented...not done in years; BORG fought funding allocations... Biden restored America's friendship with those countries who embrace democracy once again... and so much more...

It's Easy Folks: Biden speaks Jesus; FREEDOM

And we know:    Trump is BORG, he speaks violence and retribution...

BORG WISHES TO ASSIMILATE AMERICA, UKRAINE, PALESTINE, ISRAEL, SOUTH KOREA; THAT IS, ALL DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES WHOSE PEOPLE WANT Freedom and action by Politicians.

BORG ASSIMILATES ALL PEOPLE MAKING SLAVE DRONES TO KEEP BORG ALIVE AND POWERFUL...

Trump is BORG

DISCLAIMER: I ACKNOWLEDGE THIS COULD BE PHOTOSHOPPED...BUT, THEN, AGAIN...

I've heard his garbage mouth myself

like that which he is now being charged in NY

~~~

CHOOSE BIDEN OR WHOEVER YOU KNOW

CHOOSES DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM

BORG Assimilates!

this seems to be many republicans

And BORG specifically as defined above.

Biden...Democrats are Right

The Soul of America

Sweet Land of Liberty

is under siege...

Vote

Fight ASSIMILATION

FIGHT FOR FREEDOM

FIGHT BORG LIFE UNDER Trump...

I Support Joe Biden

I Support Freedom

I Support the Constitution

I Support the Great I AM

God of all Creation!

Please note...I will continue to get specific in how i learned the difference between leaders while working...for nearly 40 years... next...

Also FYI: Beginning today, I will be identifying only Open Memoir (of My Life) Relevant book titles will be provided as Hashtags...

Open Memoir--A Single Christian Woman--By His Love - A Message to My Children

 

Jesus died for Us over 2000 years ago. 

HE DIED FOR US 

BECAUSE OF GOD'S LOVE

You may remember recently that I asked for Prayer Warriors to be with me during the writing of my memoirs... I acknowledged that I was more of a person to move forward to tell, to speak words I had in my heart... But as I woke at 1AM this morning and immediately started to write, I received a gentle nudge... and the Words... In HIS Love... Of course, I knew what I had been neglecting... I had not stopped to share my giving of praise to Him... For, without God sending His Son, We would never have been able to actually Know Him Through His Holy Spirit...

 God told me..."I Got This, Glenda!"

And I Immediately Cried Out.

He reminded me that I had accepted His Promise

That He was indeed in Control...

But, like so many others, I had forgotten

I had taken control back into my hands...

I needed to read this next book, or that book

trying to find the words to convince this person or that one

I am reminded that from the very beginning of our new relationship, he had accepted me as I am... He had given me a mind, a questioning mind. I was His modern-day Doubting Thomas... I wanted to know the Why behind all that was within my life... the World... I needed, I wanted, the words that somebody would hear, read that could explain what was happening... I had been obsessed with needing to explain the God I Knew... that He was NOT the God of Violence, retribution...and all the other hateful words that were being thrown through the air for the children, yes, even the children to hear and, as I knew well, try to also understand...

Give it a rest, Glenda

I got this...

Why do you weep when I Speak

After all you bravely proclaim

I Speak Jesus...

Well, I have heard you and I happen to

Speak Jesus too...

Isn't that Wonderful?

Your Thoughts are My Thoughts

And I've Just Shown you, Haven't I

A Few minutes you flash backed to your memory 

so I pulled up the song for you to play

Remember? It was the first time

that at a special service that somebody behind the scenes

added the sound of a hammer 

pounding the nails into my hands

into my ankles

that you knew, really, that I had died 

For You...

You've always know that I was Above All

that was happening on earth...

You even have my picture here at

Book Readers Heaven...of Me Laughing

Yes, I know It is Not Funny

But, really, Glenda, Think About It

This has happened so many times before

There are really few NEW ideas from

those that I have created...

Glenda you enjoy Playlists for your books, 

so this is what I've provided this day

Using words of songs to speak Jesus to you

who Speaks Jesus daily

I love you for that.

And I give you my Assurance

Everything is moving at the slow pace of nature

For, you, see, I have Used those who have turned away

to Open Those of You Who Are MY FOLLOWERS

MY BASE

AND THEY ARE LEGION, I PROMISE YOU...

By the way, I loved hearing you sing harmony

Yes, it was me who helped your voice

come clear and clean with that strength from your youth

For, my Child, you are Still Young to me

And you Will Always Be With Me

Will you always continue to sing for Me, please...

I love you, too...

And Know This, My Child

You Speak Jesus, Because I am In You

Those Who Open Their Hearts to Me

Who listen for My Words

Will, indeed, Hear

This, I promise to you and to all Who Follow Me

You were just 13 when I touched you

You were Baptized in my name and became wholly mine

I have watched you, search... I remember all the books

you bought to learn more about me

Those written by those, sometimes, who didn't fully know Me

You remember the one I mean, don't you?

The author was writing to say just when the world would end

It didn't happen, did it...

I used it to teach you that man is

only human, but

you did learn, didn't you?

I noticed when you always selected songs to sing

that sought Me to come into Your heart...

Into My Heart you sang as a child.

And, Child, I did come, didn't I?

And when you left me to seek more of YOU.

I watched, but I never left you.

I knew you had to find your own way

That is WHY I give all Free Will

Otherwise, you indeed, would be 

somebody that you now disdain

somebody who follows a man that is not of Me

Yet uses my name for personal power

Remember, though, I alone give judgment

By the way, what you recently said, you were close

to exactly what is to happen...

Because there is too much violence, too many guns

too much hate, 

Behold I will speak through You

I will and am speaking through people who write

I am speaking through those who speak Truth

I am speaking through those who Love

Those who love ALL OF my children

and yes, even those who have gone astray

Perhaps for a while...

But, it will always be Free Will

For a man who claims that only He is Retribution

is and can never be

WHO I AM...

When I gave my Son

I had hoped it would be the time for Paradise

But even when He said to reject all that had been written before

That His/My words were to be Heard

You have heard; others have heard

Many have not...

I AM

God of all Time

Time was given to all of you to continue to learn

to study, to develop new talents to give in love

You and many have understood the gift of th talents

you seek more and more reasons through learning to give to others

to love and help others to, in turn, move forward in who I envisioned

Those who refused to stop looking to the past for their guidance

Have ignored my greatest gift.

Jesus

And His Words

His Guidance

His Love and Truth

I AM 

You know, my child

I really am worthy to be worshipped.

That's why Jesus was Given

I wanted to be a Part of Your Life(lives)

I wanted more to help you learn to explore

All of the majesty of the worlds that I've created

Perhaps to explore in the future like Trekkies

Or perhaps to explore the past and learn from it

much like you did when you read Lilith

I am so happy when I see you read words of my children

and see, hear, and know the message to be received

There is so much to learn, advances to move forward...

The gifts given to humans are for the good of the world

Not to look backward, but forward to new things

beyond any of those yet imagined...

Read, my child,

Share my child...

But, stop and rest, awhile too

Because

I Really Have Got This!

By the way,

I Love You, Too...

And, Tell Others, Read, Learn

Move Forward, Never Backward.

For I Am

The Future.
