Journal Entry – June, 2017

Painting: H.D.Kemp

Today is January 3, 2021 the passage below was written in June, 2017.

These journal entries stem from a variety of inspirations, some are notes to self or evaluations or ponderings which are a result of my experiences or what I desire to see happen. At times I wrote prayers, or dreams that I have had and some of the writings are quotes or maybe notes from a lecture, an audio book  or a video, but all of it is meaningful to me, or was meaningful at the point of writing it down. These journals are dear to me because they are a description of my journey, this means I am sharing tidbits of my life and at times, very private, very personal moments. Chronological order is not my strong point, I am not very organized so at times the entries will not be in order-they will be just as random as the journals are. This first post from is from a particular journal written in June 2017, subsequent entries will include any dates, if they are available.

This 2017 journal originates from a time when I had determined to break the cycle of failure, the cycle of self-destruction.

 It was at a time when I was seeking something more, I wanted  the real, live truth. I had been disillusioned with the church and had been going through the proverbial wringer in many other areas of my life for so many years, therefore an unwavering determination sparked in me to search out that undeniable truth. I was already aware of some of the corruption in the ‘system’ – the  government, food industry, medical industry, the financial industry and especially the entertainment industry which includes our so called News outlets and social media platforms. It seemed that the whole world was allowing this creeping compromise to infest almost every area of our lives, was there anything left that we could trust?

My mom was in the hospital and I was overworked with very little rest. I was driving an 2 hour round trip 4-5 times a week to a small city where I was doing some Bible work for the church, I was paid a stipend for doing what is termed church planting. At the same time I was homeschooling my two youngest children and my granddaughter who was living with us at the time. I had a lot of stress and worry about my oldest children who seemed to be self-destructing as well and I felt an urgency to study as much as possible in order to help them too. At the end of the day, after driving, working, homeschooling and making meals, I would then drive to the hospital (another hour round trip) to visit my mom. This cycle of driving to visit mom after work lasted for about 3 months. I felt it was imperative to see her every day and as hard as it was to do all of that, I am so thankful I did because she passed away 07-07-07 which I think is very significant. I have no idea what will come of these journal entries, maybe nothing at all, maybe they will serve someone else- I guess we will see.

LET GO OF THE OARS!

The receptive mode is the replenishing mode- to be fed from the Almighty’s table – to drink from His cup.
The stream will take me to where I want to be – to the best place for me.

Allow the wellness in.

Allow the loving in.

Allow myself to love.

  1. – Ask.
  2. – The Source of all life the Creator the Self-Existent One always answers.
  3. – Come into harmony and align with what I am seeking, knocking and asking for.  

If my desire is strong enough I can override my belief but it is a rough ride. There is no gain worth talking about in pain- it keeps you there. You’re holding a stance of resistance that does not allow the receiving of the legacy that is yours.

Say, I have decided that I am a (good) person **to me that statement means, a “good person” is one who desires good, to be morally upright, to embody compassion, understanding, grace and love.

Therefore I deserve to have good things happen to me(that is the hardest part,) I have decided that I am going to pamper myself as much as possible, I am going to love and accept myself which is the path of least resistance, it feels more like going downstream and allowing the river to carry me.

WHAT A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS WHEN WE CANNOT EVEN EXPRESS OUR OWN FAITH PUBLICLY – WHAT A WARNING SIGN THAT IS!!!  So here are my thoughts come what may…

~I have been told that anyone who “believes” in Messiah/Christ/Savior/God/Yah is a “coward!”

That statement doesn’t make sense because to believe means that we walk in truth, we are accountable for what we do, what we say, what we choose –even to our own hurt. 

We know that there is coming a day when we must give an account of not only our choices and actions but even our words! To believe in our Creator means that anything that mankind does to us is infinitesimal in comparison to eternity. Matthew 10:28  “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” 

The word ‘fear’ here is translated from Greek, this is what the concordance says: From G5401; to frighten, that is, (passively) to be alarmed; by analogy to be in awe of, that is, revere: – be (+ sore) afraid, fear (exceedingly), reverence.

Some people believe that when we die we simply go back into the soil and that is the end- ashes to ashes, dust to dust. While our physical bodies do go back to dust (which testifies that we were created from the dust of the earth as Scripture states), our ‘Spirit’ goes back to the Creator who gave it. Our physical bodies will be raised up at the last day and those who are alive and remain will also be “caught up”. But the belief that we merely go back to the earth and get recycled gives no real hope for any future, and it leaves people believing that there is no reason for morality, no purpose – only self indulgence for some. For others it leaves them reasoning “what’s the point” for some people it actually causes them to self-destruct and feel that they are worthless . Some people feel that while they are here they will do all that they can for self- gratification, even to the hurt of others.

Some people believe that we are not really here, I have looked at that and it seems to me that if our spiritual being, our dream state or the ability to leave our body  is “more real” than the physical, then the physical body would not wake up to go pee in the night, it would not stir us out of sleep for hunger, or to take care of the physical body’s various needs. In my opinion there is something  disconnected in that theory. While I do believe we have a Spiritual body we also have a physical body and the harmony of both is what makes a soul. There is a purpose for both and the best explanation I have found resides in Scripture. I do not claim I have all the answer, but this is my belief.

 The spirit world, the unseen world, DOES SURELY EXIST and we all have had some experiences with it at times during our lives. Whether we see it as serendipity or promptings and signs along our path, in the form of dreams, visions, answered prayers or some seemingly random series of events, we have all experienced it, we have heard and seen the evidence of it. Some people have had more of these experiences than others, even so, we cannot deny that the physical also has a purpose and that is where we are at currently. Never-the-less we often infuse or spend our energy in the spiritual, we often can glean wisdom from those experiences if we are paying attention and allowing ourselves to see and hear what the Spirit says.

I choose love, in Scripture the word for unconditional love is agape (hence my profile name)- in my heart I do believe that love conquers all. Love is a spiritual experience and it is beautiful beyond compare – true love for humanity, for life, love for ourselves (else how can we love others) love of truth, for Yah/God/Messiah/Christ all of this is boundless and true.

Love is how we overcome.

Believing in our Creator does not make us cowards- it actually is very humbling, it keeps us from giving in to the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes, the pride of life. It is empowering, it fosters courage, it genders humility and compassion.

We stand in truth and in love and we stand against tyranny, against the forces of evil, against the Satanists-that is what causes us to be ridiculed, it causes us to be shunned from many, it causes us to be oppressed and much more. Why is that? Because the forces of evil are everything but love, those forces of darkness are devoid of love in fact those forces are driven by destruction and anything good in times past caused people to lose their lives by reason of their faith.

WE STAND FOR TRUTH, WE STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT/RIGHTEOUSNESS, WE STAND FOR HUMANITY, WE STAND FOR LIFE AND LOVE AND FREEDOM.

Knowledge can cause confusion, it can and often does cause one to never make a choice…but wisdom is from above and wisdom is the key.

When it is all said and done, we ALL HAVE TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT FOR EVERY IDLE WORD WE SPEAK. That is my firm belief and Yah/God help me because I know I have allowed my emotions to take over at times, but I do also know that we are like roses, sometimes we are fragrant and pleasant but when we are crushed we have our thorns and that is a good thing too.

So in closing I’d like to say that believing in Yah/ God, is anything but cowardly! It holds us to the HIGHEST STANDARD – EVEN TO OUR OWN HURT- EVEN UNTO DEATH!

That is precisely what we need, what we require: Proverbs 29:2 WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS ARE IN AUTHORITY, THE PEOPLE REJOICE: BUT WHEN THE WICKED BEARETH RULE, THE PEOPLE MOURN.

HERE WE ARE!

The Storm

Dream Journal -[Gregorian] 12/21/2012

The imagery in this dream is quite spectacular, especially the sky.

There were two paths, one path was shorter than the other and it ended abruptly before it reached the bottom, this path was lined with brightly coloured clothing. The other path was the one I was climbing up, it was a steep dirt path, there were other people on this path with me, some of them I didn’t recognize except my sister “C”. This path was narrow and steep, my sister was ahead of me and had difficulty climbing so I was helping her by way of encouragement and sometimes I had to physically give her a push from behind. When she would slip I would tell her “You can do this sis!” She had some negative beliefs about herself and it was hindering her advancement. I would point out that those were her negative beliefs but that they were not true.

Finally we got to the top of the cliff and saw that the familiar, cheery blue sky was now cloaked with enormous, foreboding brown clouds, violently churning, folding and expanding as though the storm were alive. These were not the usual fluffy, white clouds which often had glimpses of peach, pinks or whispers of mauve barely visible; no! -these clouds screamed of sickness and ill favor, a dark brown, like a ferocious monster, consuming and destroying everything. I was NOT afraid, I knew that they couldn’t hurt me. I said to my sister ‘C’ – “We need to go down the path now to get out of the storm”.

All of a sudden we were looking toward the west (could have been east but my senses tell me it was west, however I am not certain since I seem to get turned around in my sense of direction in this physical life). Then suddenly the clouds began to dissipate, I vaguely saw the sun and a full moon in the same proximity of the sky. The clouds rolled back and the sky revealed all the planets in the same section of the sky, I witnessed a start cluster [which years later I discovered was the Pleiades] as well as all the constellations.

I couldn’t tell which planets were which, they were unfamiliar to me and the star cluster was incredibly bright. The air was still and the atmosphere was silent.
The sensation I had was once of an unusual party, where the norm was no longer the rule, it was as if something very special was happening and everyone felt that this was all the was important.

I wanted to go home and as I was walking I was crying and praying because I knew the Almighty wanted to tell me something but I didn’t understand what it meant, so I was asking “What are You telling us?”
I went into our home because I wanted to get my camera and take photos of the sky, I told my husband about all the planets but it took me so long to get there and it was such a tiring ordeal that I had to sleep and then the sun came up and I didn’t get a photo of the planets.

** When I have such vivid dreams which I feel are significant, I write them down in my journals, sketchbooks or notebooks, so I have quite a few dreams. This particular one was written down and never thought of again until 2020 because of the conjunction of Venus and Saturn. I wanted to see their path so we looked on Starry Night Pro and that is when I noticed that all the planets seemed to be in one section of the sky, that triggered my memory about that dream and I saw that the dates were very significant.
My dream was 12/21/2012 and the conjunction was 12/21/2020.
I get the feeling that this dream was for this time, we are in the STORM now and it is destroying all of the fake narratives and exposing all evil. Soon the clouds will roll back as a scroll and all the truth will be revealed. I think the cloth covered path symbolized this man-made system and it ends. I think the dirt path symbolizes the truth.

When I wake up from a dream, if it is a significant dream or a vivid meaningful one, I quickly write it down. I do not spend time making it pretty or perfect, I just have to get as many details down as quickly as possible. This is the first photo I took directly from my dream journal and I have blurred out personal information to protect those who were present in the dream.
This is the second page of the same dream, I have since Identified that star cluster in 2021 as the closest one which makes sense to me, I believe it is a representation of the Pleiades.
I do not know the source of this photo but if anyone else does please let me know so I can give proper credit.

Submarine Spaceships

DREAM – October 1, 2014

In my REM sleep either last night or early morning I dreamt that our home here had a lot of people in it, and for some reason I went outside. It was dark out and VERY quiet [in my physical life quiet/silence, has always accompanied and been a warning sign of some sort of disaster pending]. It was fall but not cold, the trees had yellow leaves. I had a strange feeling that some ‘thing’ or some one was there, lurking, watching. I looked up and just among the treeline were two (2) submarine-like vessels hovering behind the branches of the trees. They were HUGE and SILENT vessels. There was a lot of texture on them, they were not smooth, they were also black or a dark grey metal. They were spraying some small streams of misty smoke out of several little holes that were all over the vessel.

I went into the house to get “M” to come out and see. When we came out the vessels were over our house and they were almost grazing the roof and they passed over us and off toward the East. We then saw a strange vehicle that looked like a car and a truck melded together into one and drove up the street around the corner. We ran up the street and saw that it had broken down so we laid on the grass to watch it. Then “M” was recording it and having difficulty with one wire. I saw that the phone wasn’t hidden very well and I said “Don’t let them see that you’re recording, it will draw attention to us, they will record us and they have more advanced equipment so they will record our eyes and SEE INTO US!”

**I am recording this dream from one of my journals into this blog on this day [Gregorian]Oct 29, 2021. It is the first time I have made my Dreams Journals public. I have had a desire to make drawings or paintings of my dreams before presenting them to the public but there is always something that keeps me from doing so. Today (note the date) for the first time I decided to search online for images since I did not get a chance to draw my own. The images I am including were found by me today and they are not accurate to the dream/vision, but they will serve the purpose for a visual.
These images were taken from this website: http://www.projectrho.com/SSC/submarine.html there are some interesting things on there if you want to see more.

** I hope to create my own drawings of what I saw in the near future.

Dreams and visions which I call Awake dreams. are a very significant part of who I am. I have had vivid dreams all my life and some of them have come to pass. Posting from my Dream Journals is where my focus will be in the next while. I look forward to your comments.

Mounties for Freedom – RCMP Open Letter to Commissioner Brenda Lucki

Open Letter to RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki

RCMP National Headquarters
73 Leikin Dr
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0R2

October 21, 2021

Dear Commissioner Brenda Lucki:

We respectfully submit this open letter to express our most sincere concerns and resolute stand against the forced coercive medical intervention of Canadians, and against the undue discrimination experienced by those exercising their lawful right to bodily autonomy. We are not against vaccinations, but as law enforcement officers, we cannot in good conscience willingly participate in enforcing mandates that we believe go against the best interests of the people we protect.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As Canadians, our constitutionally-protected freedoms precede the government, and may only be temporarily limited if the majority of evidence justifies such infringements as reasonable, provable, and guided by law. If presented with all available evidence in a court, we firmly believe the government implemented mandates would not hold up under scrutiny.As experienced investigators, we look past what information is provided and focus on how the information is presented. A proper investigation should be conducted as objectively as possible, and follow the principle that it is better to have questions that cannot be answered than to have answers that cannot be questioned. A complete investigation must include full disclosure of all the facts of the case, even contradictory evidence. Why, then, is there little to no tolerance for free and open debate on this matter? Many credible medical and scientific experts are being censored. Accordingly, we rightly have concerns about “the science” we are being coerced to “follow”.As representatives of our communities within the RCMP and representatives of the RCMP in our communities, we have never witnessed such division in our country. This sense of “Us versus Them” will be further fueled by having a police force consisting only of “vaccinated” people, while serving communities consisting of “unvaccinated” people, which goes against the community policing model the RCMP has strived to achieve.As law enforcement officers, we already face higher levels of stress and mental illnesses due to the nature of our work. These have been compounded – considerably – by mandates that we believe are deeply unethical, threatening our livelihood, and dividing society.As federal employees, what is being done to mitigate this stress? Moreover, what assurances are we given that the injections will not cause short or long-term side effects? What steps will be taken to ensure members are compensated for adverse side effects?Police officers are expected to preserve the peace, uphold the law, and defend the public interest. We strongly believe that forced and coerced medical treatments undermine all three and, thus, contradict our duties and responsibilities to Canadians. We remain loyal to the Charter and Bill of Rights and ask you to send investigators to collect statements from medical professionals (and other reliable witnesses) who allege they have been silenced – putting lives at risk. Allow us to make this information publicly available to all so the public can scrutinize it and achieve informed consent.

ABOUT US

This letter was created from the collective thoughts, beliefs, and opinions of actively serving police officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) from across the country. We have a wealth of experience which includes, but is not limited to, General Duty, Federal Serious and Organized Crime, School Liaison, Prime Minister Protection Detail, Emergency Response Team, Media Relations, and Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit. We come from various ranks, levels of experience, communities, cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs, and vaccination statuses. Together we are the Mounties for Freedom. We are individual police officers who united in the belief that citizens, including federal employees, should not be forced and coerced into taking a medical intervention.

OUR STANCE

In August 2021, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced, “Federal public servants need to be fully vaccinated,” and that for those without a medical exemption who choose not to be vaccinated: “There will be consequences”1.Since that statement, many federal employees have been told they will be sent home without pay for refusing to receive a contested medical treatment. We have united in the belief that people should not be forced or coerced into receiving the current COVID-19 treatments – it should be voluntary. We stand united against the forced and coerced medical intervention of Canadians and against the discrimination faced by those who have exercised their right to bodily autonomy. We believe in democracy, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the Bill of Rights.This is not about whether people should be vaccinated – that is a personal choice.

THE LAW

Our primary duty as peace officers in the RCMP is the preservation of peace2. We have never witnessed the level of division in our country as we currently see from the COVID-19 pandemic. It is our responsibility, now more than ever, to make all efforts at preserving the peace in our country.The Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter) protects fundamental rights and freedoms essential to keeping Canada a free and democratic society3. The Canadian Bill of Rights adds, “… the Canadian Nation is founded upon principles that acknowledge … the dignity and worth of the human person and the position of the family in a society of free men and free institutions.4” It continues to say, “Affirming also that men and institutions remain free only when freedom is founded upon respect for moral and spiritual values and the rule of law.5”We believe our federal and provincial governments have failed to uphold the Charter, Bill of Rights, and Constitution and we are witnessing the erosion of democracy in Canada. As you know, the Charter does not guarantee absolute freedoms. If the government is going to limit freedoms, it must establish the limitations are reasonable given all available facts. The government must adhere to a process to prove their actions are appropriate, called the Oakes test. We firmly believe, if presented with all available evidence in a court, the government implemented mandates would not pass the Oakes test. At the time of writing this letter, the Charter’s section 33 Notwithstanding Clause has not been invoked for this pandemic.Requiring mandatory COVID-19 treatment options is a slippery slope and allows the government to overstep its authority unchecked. It infringes on the fundamental belief in our society that the individual has the right and freedom to choose. The choice of whether to receive medical treatments has always been an individual’s right in Canada. The Canadian National Report on Immunization (1996) stated “Immunization is not mandatory in Canada; it cannot be made mandatory because of the Canadian Constitution.6” Section 2 of The Charter guarantees these fundamental freedoms through the freedom of conscience (subsection a) and the freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression (subsection b)7. Without individuals having the freedom to choose, we would not have a democratic society.Though the Nuremberg Code is not a law, it is internationally accepted and falls in line with the spirit of our Charter and Bill of Rights. A key component of the Nuremberg Code is that participants in a medical experiment need to participate voluntarily without any form of force or coercion8. We have obtained documentation from several Canadian doctors who have explained the current COVID-19 treatment options in Canada, being referred to as “vaccines”, were recently authorized as new drugs despite the absence of long-term data9. According to these accredited Canadian doctors, these treatment options did not meet the criteria of true vaccines until very recently when the definition of vaccine was changed10,11. Without long-term data, these vaccines are still experimental. We believe the act of removing the rights and freedoms of citizens who refuse to participate in specific COVID-19 treatment options is a form of coercion.The Criminal Code contains our country’s Criminal Offences and explains that a person commits an assault by intentionally applying force to someone else without that person’s consent12. The Criminal Code further explains that consent is not obtained from a person who submits, or neglects to resist, on the grounds of authority being exercised over them13. How then can someone give proper consent to a COVID-19 treatment injection when doing so under the threat of losing their job, freedoms, or livelihood? Canadian courts have already ruled that medical treatment without proper informed consent is an assault14.As law enforcement officers, we cannot in good conscience willingly participate in enforcing mandates that violate the laws of our country and breach the rights and freedoms of the people we protect.

LEST WE FORGET

Each year, on the 11th of November, we remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. From Flanders Field to Juno Beach, many Canadians have bled and died fighting tyrannical nations. We need to remember past events to prevent the repetition of history’s greatest mistakes.On the 30th of September, we had the opportunity to reflect on such times during our first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Under the direction of the Government of Canada, RCMP members were once issued lawful orders to remove children from their homes and transport them to residential schools. Canada is still recovering from the impact of those decisions and actions. The RCMP has yet to regain the trust of some citizens.There was a time when scientists believed humans were divided into racial hierarchies and that a person’s intelligence level and characteristics were determined by race15. These beliefs were not heavily contested and were widely accepted as scientific fact16. Phrenology was also widely accepted as being a legitimate scientific study17. These are not examples of science being wrong but of people conducting poor investigations or misunderstanding their findings. These are just two of several historical examples of widely accepted scientific truths, which became ridiculed practices.We look back at those times of racial hierarchy and wonder how something so wrong could have been so widely accepted as truth. It is just as hard for many people to conceptualize how RCMP officers could have blindly followed lawful orders that devastated so many lives. Yet now we find ourselves in dangerous waters, when RCMP officers are being forced under coercion and duress to participate in actions they believe go against the spirit of Canadian laws.We find it ironic that an organization that preaches the honour and respect of Canadian values, and the sacrifice of their veterans, would support actions that contradict the values our veterans fought to uphold. Enforcement of identification and checkpoints was an early step in what would become the Holocaust. Canadian citizens of various backgrounds are being segregated and punished for choosing not to disclose a personal medical decision. We cannot think of a more ironic and cruel way for our governments to pay homage to the sacrifices Canadians have made worldwide to protect individual freedoms than by participating in a process that takes those freedoms away.Today, instead of having one version of scientific “truth” during this pandemic, we have versions that contradict one another. How can some professionals be so certain their interpretation of science is correct when others give evidence to the contrary? History has already demonstrated we get things wrong even when our scientists agree.We acknowledge there is a spectrum filled with beliefs relating to this pandemic. For the sake of simplicity, we will refer to two main schools of thought: the common narrative (those who believe the current COVID-19 treatment injections are the way through the pandemic) and those who have concerns with the COVID-19 treatment injections. It’s important to note we are not discussing “antivaxxers” in this letter. We are discussing people with various vaccination statuses who pose questions about the current COVID-19 treatment options being forced upon them.

THE SCIENCE

RCMP members are not scientists nor healthcare professionals; our profession is law enforcement. We do not pretend to be experts in medical or scientific fields, but we are experienced and professional investigators: we look for the facts. Proper investigations follow simple practices that remain consistent across most fields. These practices include but are not limited to: asking the right questions, following evidence, being aware of how biases may affect results, and allowing the evidence to point to the conclusion – not allowing the conclusion to point to the evidence. Most importantly, a proper investigation should be conducted as objectively as possible and follow the principle that it is better to have questions that cannot be answered than to have answers that cannot be questioned. A complete investigation must include full disclosure of all the facts of the case, even contradictory evidence.The COVID-19 pandemic has caused several scientists and medical professionals to provide us with information they described as “science”, “scientific”, or “facts”. The problem with many of these statements is that the provided information often contradicted another piece of “scientific fact” that an equally qualified professional had produced. This makes it near impossible for the average person to know what to believe and what not to believe.As experienced investigators, we look past what information is provided and focus on how the information is presented. This allows us some insight into the credibility of the information. Some professionals make definitive statements such as “It’s safe and effective” or “This is the way”, giving little or no explanation of how they reached their conclusion. When the information provided is challenged or questioned, the response often indicates the answer is something that cannot be questioned. The CDC recently changed its definition of immunity and vaccine10,11, allowing the current COVID-19 treatment injections to fit the definition. This is an example of actions taken when you allow your conclusion to point to your evidence.Other qualified professionals have provided alternate pieces of information during this pandemic. It is not what their results were, but how they arrived at their results that we believe in. These professionals have all been able to articulate their findings quite well and are quick to admit the remaining questions they cannot answer. These professionals (from Canada18 and abroad19) have expressed warnings and concerns with the current COVID-19 treatment options condoned by the governments. Some of these concerns suggest a higher-than-average number of moderate to severe side-effects from the COVID-19 “vaccinations” compared with our traditional vaccinations19. Others have stated the current COVID-19 treatment options are proving to be less effective than initially believed20,21.We have attached several documents as appendices to this letter which contain information we believe raises reasonable concerns with the current COVID-19 vaccination mandates seen across our country. We encourage you to review the documents and the work each document references thoroughly. Though we understand we have provided a lot of material – which will take time and resources to read – we believe the fact that there is so much evidence opposing the mandatory roll-out of the current COVID-19 treatments is reason enough to take our concerns seriously.There have also been scientific papers that suggest natural immunity is a better form of protection than what the COVID-19 vaccination can give21-24. Why is antibody testing not being discussed as a potential option for RCMP members?Here is a list of the documents we’ve attached to this letter. These documents are a sample of what is available and were written by people (or groups) of scientific or medical professionals in fields directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We defer to their expertise.

  • Appendix A – This is an open letter from Dr. Eric Payne, a pediatric neurologist in Alberta, to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta. In his letter, Dr. Payne highlights several inconsistencies he has found with the common narrative. Dr. Payne provides several sources from around the world throughout his letter.
  • Appendix B – This is the Canadian Covid Care Alliance Declaration. This heavily sourced document provides information on the current pandemic and makes recommendations based on their findings.
  • Appendix C – This is a letter from Dr. Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist in Ontario, to the President of the University of Guelph. Dr. Bridle uses his extensive experience and qualifications to explain his concerns with the common narrative surrounding the COVID-19 treatment injections. Dr. Bridle also articulates his concerns with the COVID-19 health mandates.
  • Appendix D – This is an open letter from Health Professionals United to the Alberta Health Services. The letter outlines reasons why several frontline healthcare workers in Alberta heavily oppose mandatory COVID-19 vaccination mandates.
  • Appendix E – This is an open letter from frontline healthcare workers in British Columbia to Dr. Bonnie Henry, Adrian Dix, and Premier John Horgan. The author(s) state their experiences and expertise are being ignored and ask that the vaccination mandates be revoked.
  • Appendix F – This is a report from Dr. Tess Lawrie from the United Kingdom. Dr. Lawrie demonstrates the abnormal number of reported adverse effects from the current COVID-19 treatment injections.
  • Appendix G – This is a comprehensive report comparing natural immunity to COVID-19 vs Vaccine-Induced Immunity. It was comprised from several scientists from Ontario and British Columbia.

CENSORSHIP

We are not against vaccinations, and we are trying to aid our country through this pandemic. We want to participate in a way that is safe for both our physical and mental well-being. We believe it is essential for people to participate with full informed consent by understanding all the risks of what they are being asked (or in this case forced) to participate in.As experienced police officers, we have become accustomed to the media portraying us negatively or experienced the media misrepresenting the outcome of a police incident. It would be little to no surprise for us to hear that a media agency misreported an incident. However, it was surprising for us to learn that several of these scientists and doctors, who questioned the information fueling the COVID-19 treatment mandates, also spoke of censorship25-27.As experienced investigators, we know it is our responsibility to present all available facts to the public – by proxy of the courts. It is not our place to decide what the outcome of an investigation should be. Our job is to collect all available facts so that the public (the courts) can make an informed decision. We have learned from past mistakes that presenting evidence that only supports one side, while ignoring or refusing to acknowledge evidence from another side, is wrong and tarnishes an investigation. We cannot provide evidence from witnesses who agree on one story while ignoring or hiding the witnesses who agree on a different account of an incident.It would be unthinkable that RCMP members would blatantly disregard witnesses in an investigation to mislead the courts. The investigation would lose all integrity and the members would be criticized. Why then are we allowing this same behaviour to occur by other public figures? There are accredited medical professionals from our own country who are desperately trying to have their findings heard. Instead of allowing these professionals to speak freely and discuss their results publicly, they are being silenced by governing bodies25-27.Our experience in law enforcement and as investigators have allowed us to see how crucial it is that these professionals be allowed to speak openly and publicly. Without the information being included in discussions, we believe the citizens of Canada (including RCMP members) are not receiving the information they need to make an informed decision. This is contrary to our laws and beliefs, and we do not support it.These medical professionals have tried to stand up and support their country. We are now standing up and supporting them. They must be allowed to share their information publicly to maintain people’s faith in the government. If the people believe the government is continuing to censor experts, the country will fall into instability. This is common around the world in countries whose tyrannical governments sensor information from their people.

DISCRIMINATION

We strongly oppose the discrimination that has already begun to create segregation in our country. It has divided families, ended friendships, torn apart spouses, and entered the RCMP workplace. We believe the current messaging being put out by our provincial and federal governments is promoting the creation of an in-group referred to as “Vaccinated” and an out-group as “Unvaccinated”. Even worse, the out-group has been labelled “Anti-vaxxers,” a term used out of context in a negative and derogatory way. The messaging from our governments is causing the dehumanization of the “Unvaccinated” group. By dehumanizing the out-group, an institution creates a greater divide between them and the in-group.28Police agencies across Canada pride themselves in their efforts to hire officers reflective of the communities they serve. This allows community members to relate to their officers and see them as part of the community. We are representatives of our communities within the RCMP and representatives of the RCMP in our communities. Having a police force consisting only of “vaccinated” people while serving communities consisting of “unvaccinated” people will tear down some of the similarities RCMP members share with their communities. This will create a greater sense of “Us versus Them” between communities and police, which contradicts the community policing model the RCMP has strived to achieve for decades. We anticipate that unless this is corrected soon, it will continue to increase the divide in our country.Dehumanizing individuals is challenging. It is easier to attach a label and stigma to a group. That way, anyone or anything that comes from the group can be written off28. The term “Anti-vaxxer” is currently being used to mislabel and group people into a category to take away their credibility. This has allowed things to be written and said against this group that would be intolerable if written or said about any other group.On August 26th, 2021, the Toronto Star ran an article that read in large bold letters, “I have no empathy left for the wilfully unvaccinated. Let them die. I honestly don’t care if they die from COVID. Not even a little bit. Unvaccinated patients do not deserve ICU beds. At this point, who cares. Stick the unvaccinated in a tent outside and tend to them when the staff has time.29,30” If “willfully unvaccinated” was replaced with “Black”, “Gay”, or “willfully Muslim”, this would have been labelled a Hate Crime. How then can we allow such things to be said about people who choose not to receive a medical intervention? Should we allow the same messaging for those who choose not to get a flu shot one season?The boldness of this statement being printed in a major newspaper shows how acceptable it is in our society to treat people as a lower class of citizens. As RCMP members, we must preserve peace in our communities and put a stop to this.

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH

This pandemic has increasingly made people feel isolated from their friends, families, and peers. RCMP members already face higher levels of stress and mental illnesses due to the nature of our work. Members affected by the double-vaccination mandate have faced greater stress and isolation as they have watched their status as citizens and regular members begin to diminish. There is currently insufficient support for these members, and there does not seem to be a plan insight to provide adequate support.The recent vaccination update has left some people feeling more isolated than ever. In times like this, people need support from a community, and our membership is no different. We fear there are more members afraid to speak up about these recent updates for fear of being targeted. Many members may be trying to stick this out on their own, or worse, suffering in silence. We ask that you attempt to reach out in partnership with the NPF to all members who may be negatively affected by these mandates and let them know their employer and governments support them.Though most people seem to have little to no side effects from the COVID-19 treatment injections, an abnormal number of moderate to severe adverse reactions have included death31. What assurances are we given that the injections will not cause short or long-term side effects? Studies show that stress and sleep can play a huge factor in whether a vaccine is effective or not32,33. Are you ensuring RCMP members are provided with the appropriate amount of rest before an injection? What steps will the RCMP take to ensure members are compensated for adverse side effects?We also believe enough evidence has been presented to question whether our governments’ actions in this pandemic are the most appropriate. This is causing moral and ethical stressors for some members as they no longer believe their role as police officers is reflective of the democracy Canada claims to be. Mental health and stress levels will have an impact on how members interact with the public.

PARALLELING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

The RCMP has taught us the importance and severity of domestic violence. Domestic violence is centred around power and control between an abuser and a victim. One of the biggest problems with domestic violence is there is often an escalation in the severity of abuse. RCMP members have been taught how to identify the signs that someone is involved in an abusive relationship. There are different types of abuse the abuser may engage in to keep control over their victim: Physical, Financial, and Emotional.Emotional abuse is quite complex and will often include a variety of tactics such as socially distancing the victim from friends and family, discrediting the victim so they have difficulty obtaining support from others, and making the victim believe that their thoughts and beliefs are wrong – to the point the victim thinks they must be insane. When it comes to finances, an abuser will withhold money and assets from the victim. This ensures the victim cannot survive without remaining in the abusive relationship with the abuser. When an abuser feels they are losing control over their victim, it is quite common for them to escalate their tactics to maintain control.The federal government is currently displaying several of those traits with its own employees, including the RCMP34.Commissioner Lucki, we understand your position is appointed, and we are concerned that you too may be subject to a similar relationship with the Prime Minister. Though you, as our top Mountie, should be impartial, you may be forced into supporting some of these actions out of duress. We ask that you do what we ask our domestic violence victims to do – to take a stand against the abuser. This country needs strong and supportive people in positions of authority. Please show Canadians that the RCMP will remain impartial to political agendas and true to the Charter and our Bill of Rights.

PUBLIC INTEREST

Lastly, we want to draw attention to the public safety issues that will arise if these COVID-19 mandates are upheld.Pierre Elliot Trudeau once said, “There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.35” How is it our federal government is now saying it will be mandatory for employees working from home to receive the COVID-19 treatment injections?36Regardless of their vaccination statuses, there are RCMP members who feel the steps taken by the federal and provincial governments are too extreme and do not have the best interest of Canadian citizens. Forcing these mandates will cause several RCMP officers to lose faith in the federal government’s commitment to the Charter. These RCMP officers will not participate in actions they believe contradict their morals, ethics, and Canadian laws. These RCMP officers believe it is their responsibility to challenge the federal government in court if necessary.The RCMP, which is already understaffed, will have additional gaps to fill across the country when these members are not working. Communities will have lost healthy and experienced officers, causing a decrease in available resources. There will also be an increase in taxpayers’ spending as the federal government attempts to fill these gaps. Being short-staffed will have a trickle-down effect causing fewer RCMP bodies to be available to properly recruit, assess, and conduct adequate background checks on potential cadets.Our experience in law enforcement and as investigators have allowed us to see how crucial it is that professionals be allowed to speak openly and publicly. Without including their information in discussions, we believe the citizens of Canada (including RCMP members) are not receiving the information they need to make an informed decision. This is contrary to our laws and beliefs, and we do not support it.We want to reiterate a point stated earlier in this letter, so it is remembered. If the people believe the government is continuing to censor experts, the country will fall into instability. We are experts in law enforcement and investigations. We are losing faith in the motives of our government, and we will not willingly participate in actions against people whose Charter rights and freedoms are being violated.

CALL TO ACTION

Commissioner Lucki, we ask that you represent the best image of the RCMP by remaining loyal to the Charter and Bill of Rights and not to any particular public figure. Our job as Mounties is to preserve the peace. If we continue down this road of segregation and discrimination, we risk repeating past mistakes. The divide in our society is quickly leaning toward a level of national security. We ask that you open an investigation to ensure no criminal acts were committed in the dissemination of information from federal and provincial health authorities or public figures in positions of trust. We ask you to send investigators to collect statements from medical professionals (and other reliable witnesses) who allege they had been silenced – putting lives at risk. Allow us to make this information publicly available to all so the public can scrutinize it and achieve informed consent. As Canada’s national police force, we are unique in our ability to conduct a large-scale cross-country investigation, which must be transparent to regain trust in the government.We also ask that you challenge the Federal Government’s decision to send Mounties home without pay for decisions they’ve made on beliefs protected by Canadian laws. Neither the RCMP, nor the communities they serve, can endure the loss of experienced police officers.

We await your response and your plan of action.

Respectfully,

Mounties for Freedom

Red Cross Heals Malaria with MMS….and then sweeps it under the rug!!!

it is unjust for children to suffer.

 

I am writing this post to ask all people everywhere to stand for truth and what is right by standing for the poor, the needy the sick and the helpless and yes…sometimes hopeless. There is a tremendous amount of tyranny and injustice done to many, many people around the globe, one small example is made known in this link…

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Truth_Spread_the_Proof_the_Red_Cross_Cured_154_Malaria_Cases_with_MMS/share/

…. I am asking that everyone sign and spread this link to all the people that you can ..prayerfully by the grace of the Almighty we can bring a stop to the outrageous and gross abuse and killing of people and especially children.

Please read the petition and watch the video…and if you feel so inclined then you also may study out this information and see that there are cures for diseases that never should be allowed to take the lives of people…I am certain that you want truth to prevail, so I want to say thank you in advance for your participation.

 Isaiah 58 says we are to cry aloud, spare not…lift up our voice and show HIS people their sins…their transgressions…and we are to loose the bands of wickedness, undo the heavy burdens and set the oppressed free…won’t you help?

 thanks and may the Eternal Almighty Creator of all things guide you continually.

 If You Don’t Stand For Something….You Will/May Fall For Anything 

1 Child Dies of Malaria EVERY MINUTE….   http://www.unicef.org/health/index_malaria.html

 Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediencey asks the question: is it politic? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right?

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular – but one must take it simply because it is right. Martin Luther King Jr.

it is unjust for children to suffer.
it is unjust for children to suffer.

What in the universe is going on???

Artist -`Unknown.

We live in a world where we should be free to choose the things that directly affect our lives…that is what we are taught, that we have freedom to choose. Choosing indicates that a person is aware of more than one option, and that they are fully informed of what they are choosing between.

Yet, without our knowledge our choices, in some very vital areas of life itself, have been taken away, one area where this has happened is the very important area of food. You are what you eat… why is this true? It is true because the nutrients, vitamins,  aminos and minerals that are designed into the food that we eat, is what our body needs in order to grow and to renew cells.

Although cells can differ in appearance and play various specialized functions in our body, all of them require vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, and other micronutrients as co-factors of a multitude of metabolic processes taking place in every cell. These micronutrients are needed in small amounts, however their presence in our body’s cells is essential for converting food into biological energy, for building cellular structures and supporting all vital functions. (Dr. Rath) 

People may think of their body as a fairly permanent structure, yet most of it is in a constant state of flux as old cells are discarded and new ones generated in their place. Each kind of tissue has its own lifecycle, depending in part on the workload endured by its cells. For example, adult humans produce their body weight in red blood cells, white cells, and platelets every seven years (Mackey, 2001), yet the surface layer of the skin, known as the epidermis, is recycled every two weeks (Wade, 2005). The cells lining the stomach last only five days, yet it takes two years for all of the cells of the liver to be replaced by new ones (Wade, 2005). The skeletal system takes ten years to renew as bone-dissolving and bone-rebuilding cells work together to remodel it (Spalding et. al, 2005). While most bodily organs continue to die and regrow, surprisingly the nerve cells of the brain remain the same throughout a person’s life (Frisen, 2006).

It is so very important for us to be able to choose what we are putting into our bodies. Some people may decide to eat greasy pizza, three meals a day every day and that is obviously not the best choice, this is fairly common knowledge and so a person would be aware of that as a choice; and there could be other hidden reasons for a person making that kind of choice that I won’t go into in this post.

Organs and systems of the body serve a specific purpose, and when not treated properly, develop disease and dysfunction impacting the body’s homeostasis or balance. One example is the liver, which is the largest organ in the body and performs critical duties, such as neutralizing toxins in the blood, producing immune agents to fight infection, and filtering germs and bacteria from the blood. In addition, the liver makes proteins that regulate blood clotting, produces bile to help absorb fats, and stores glucose for when the body needs energy (Tennesen, 2004). Essentially, you cannot live without your liver as it is the metabolic factory of the entire body. Making healthy choices to your diet that have detoxifying properties are key, such as adding blueberries, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, watercress, walnuts and almonds, and spices like ginger, rosemary and garlic. Also adding water to your diet increases filtration of the liver. Eating organic helps avoid pesticides and herbicides on vegetables and fruits … (Tennesen, 2004). These healthy changes are beneficial not only for the liver, but other organs and systems of the body as well. (Dawn Young Lang)

However, what about the person who decides that they are going to do the best for themselves and their family? They spend time and money on not only buying “good food”, a balanced diet of fruit, veggies and so on…, but researching what foods are best and needed most, and preparing that food in the best way possible, only to discover that they have been literally feeding their family and themselves POISON!?! That is deceitful on the growers, producers, marketers and even government’s part.

GMO food is causing death and serious disease in people…serious disease. The Life is in the blood… if they are poisoning the food [and they are] then they are poisoning our blood and our children’s blood…what does poison do???? To be slowly poisoned is to slowly die, earlier than your life span AND to be sick for the many years before you die…that is not normal. Also to begin a life that is being fed poison from the day of conception is tyranny!

I encourage you to watch this video from the link below and do everything in your power to stop the GMO products from poisoning our world.

for this vital information, please be sure to watch this right way. 

universe, truth, choice, freedom, gmo, GMO VS NON GMO,food, health, clean environment, ban Monsanto, ban gmo, eat healthy, live clean, walk in the light, Life is in the blood.

Love the children of The Eternal One

The Economy of Intercession is Yah’s/God’s provision of grace to meet all the necessities of salvation for our children. It gives parents, grandparents and compassionate friends spiritual tools by which they can take those children before Yah/God and do spiritually before Him what they cannot do:

 

  • Children cannot fight spiritual battles for themselves, so we must fight those battles for them.
  • Children cannot knowledgeably put the armor of Yah/God on themselves, so we must do it for them.
  • Children cannot grasp the meaning of grace and salvation, so we must grasp it in their behalf.
  • Children cannot exercise mature faith in complex spiritual matters, though they are involved in such complex matters, so we must exercise our faith in their behalf.
  • Children cannot understand the full meaning of covenant relationship, so we must grasp it before Yah/God and claim it for them there.
  • Children cannot use the shield of faith to quench the fiery arrows of Satan, so we must use our faith shield to cover them in battle.
  • Children cannot knowledgeably claim the mind of The Anointed One/Messiah/Christ operating within theirs, so we must claim His mind operatively in their behalf. (1 Cor. 2:16)
  • Children have neither the knowledge of Yah/God’s Word, life experience, nor the trained ability to use Scripture as the Sword of the Spirit against the powers of darkness. So, we must use the sword thrusts of the Word of Yah/God in their behalf, claiming Scriptural/Bible promises, standing on Yah/God’s completed spiritual transactions and affirming spiritual facts.
  • Though children can and do pray, sometimes with remarkable results, they cannot pray knowledgeably or with mature perspective regarding spiritual influences and dynamics effecting their lives, or about the choices they make daily. So we must pray those mature prayers for them.
  • Children cannot knowledgeably use the other weapons of warfare–praise and thanksgiving, the Name of Hayasha/Jesus, the Blood of the Lamb, the Word of Their Testimony, the Sword of the Spirit, Faith, etc., so we must wield these weapons in their behalf, as we train them in those vital spiritual skills.

            Now it is true that you and I, as praying parents, must develop knowledge and skills in these areas ourselves before we can exercise them in behalf of our children. But can you think of any activity of more eternal value for ourselves than an intimate and growing ability to know Yah/God, a growing knowledge of His heavenly power, as well as the tools He has provided for defeating His enemy?  Think about it: Our loving Heavenly Father has not only prepared these power resources for our use, but has also established a prayer economy by which we can use them to protect and spiritually nurture our children. What a challenge to keep learning all we can about these resources and practice their use for our loved ones!

            All these facts are true for our young children and we can easily see how it must be so for them, because of their immaturity. Yet many of us have grown children . . . children who through life experiences have drifted away from serving the Yah/God they were raised in our Christian homes to serve. Others of our children were raised in our homes before we became Christians, or before we ourselves became spiritually mature, and so we were never able to give them grounding in spiritual things. Now that the Self-Existent One[Lord] has begun a work in our lives, our prevailing burden is that our grown children may experience the same blessing we have in knowing Yah/God. Is there any way we can knowledgeably and rightfully intercede for these grown children and, if so, on what basis? We can praise Yah/God the answer is “Yes!” But it will take effort and commitment to learn those Yah/God-provided ways and develop the skills to apply them effectively.

            As we explore Scriptural answers to these vital questions, we should first examine the conditions under which our grown children either do not, or will not, or cannot relate to Yah/God in a personal spiritual experience. When we stop and think about it, the basic conditions that hold our children away from Yah/God are relatively few:

 

  1. Ignorance: Strange as it may seem, children can move through childhood and adolescence without enough personal knowledge of Yah/God to make a clear choice for or against Him. This is understandable with children raised in homes that are not Christian, or, a home that is nominally Christian but in which neither father or mother take Faith or study of Scripture seriously. But, sad to say, ignorance of Yah/God in personal relationship is also quite possible for children raised in earnest Christian homes, gather with the Called Out Ones regularly, attend Christian school or Homeschool. Even such children can remain ignorant of Yah/God personally.

To understand how this can be, we must make a clear difference between “religion” and “spirituality.” The two are not the same. Too often “religion” is the passive following of church or denominational practices, an automatic mental assent and parroting of doctrinal beliefs, without knowing the Yah/God that religion or denomination worships. Quite often the weekly study classes held by churches for children on the day of worship, and even Christian day schools can slip into the practice of training “church members”, rather than focus on introducing each child into personal relationship with Yah/God. This is not intended as criticism or condemnation of any church or Christian school. It is simply recognition of conditions that often exist. Thus, it is possible for a child to grow into adulthood knowing about religion, but not knowing enough about Yah/God personally to make an active, spiritual decision for or against Him.

 

Then, too, we must recognize that children differ in their temperament and personality. There are some children who seem born with spiritual insight, with a natural bent from earliest years toward Yah/God. In these cases, even if the parents and the home atmosphere are secular the child seems to move directly into a close relationship to Yah/God. That relationship may be uninformed and lack background knowledge, but the personal relationship with Yah/God is real and active. Other children seem not to be naturally sensitive to spiritual things. They grow up as “good” healthy children and responsible adults but just do not have much interest in spiritual things until later on in life.

 

In Christian circles, it is customary to say that a child reaches “the age of accountability” around nine years of age.  That is, we judge a child able to make a valid decision for Yah/God about that age. In practice, however, it is not that easy. Some children make decision for relationship with Yah/God as early as three years of age, while others seem unable to grasp enough knowledge to make such a decision until well into adulthood. There are just too many variables to make a snap judgment about any child, whether still young or grown up and well into adult life.

 

Each child should have solid instruction in the meaning of salvation and membership with the Called Out Ones during those awakening years. Yet anyone, who has taught those grades, knows how powerful peer pressure becomes at that age. When your friends are going to be baptized and join the church, this is a powerful influence to do the same things, whether this action represents a deep personal choice for relationship with Yah/God or not.

 

It is easy to confuse a choice for baptism and church membership with a real and active personal relationship with Yah/God. Experience has shown the two are not necessarily the same. Should we then discourage early baptism? In most cases, “No.” Fellowship with other Christians either in a church program or fellowship with Called Out Ones can be a setting in which personal relationship with Yah/God can blossom and grow into a real spiritual experience. However, we must avoid the conclusion that, because a child has “joined” the church they enjoy a personal and active spiritual relationship with Yah/God enabling them to sustain spiritual growth. The seeds may be there, but they must be watered, weeded and protected from predators until they flower and fruit in real relationship with Yah/God. This nurture and care is the spiritual privilege of the Called Out Ones[church] with its children and youth. BUT, the most powerful intercessory privileges and rights belong to the parents!

 

The bottom line is this: Please do not judge that your child has decided permanently against Yah/God, simply because he or she, in spite of Christian training, has slipped into a secular life with “worldly” practices that violate Christian principles. In despair we may say, “What’s the matter with them? That’s not the way I brought them up!” But there is hope! The good news is: we can, as parents and intercessors, approach God in their behalf as if they do not possess enough direct, personal knowledge of Yah/God to make an informed decision about relationship to Him. We can represent them before Him and invite Him into their lives.

 

  1. Bitterness: Children often go through experiences that build a background of bitterness in them which they connect with religion–and then transfer to the Yah/God the religion represents. These embittering experiences can take place in the home, especially in homes in which one parent is not a Christian and opposes religion. It can also happen in a home in which the parents are hyper-religious and make religion such a harsh, burdensome and oppressive experience that the child becomes bitter and determines never to have anything to do with religion or its Yah/God.

Often, however, these embittering experiences often take place outside the home. They may occur in church or Christian school environments. They usually deal with discipline, requirements, peer pressure, influence or abuse from fellow students. They can also rise from attitudes which the child feels are “unfair,” “stupid,” demeaning or rejecting of them as a person. Even if the people causing the bitter experience are ignorant of the effect they are causing, the child “perceives” their actions to be negative, to represent religion and reacts with bitterness.

 

This bitterness is carefully cultivated by Yah/God’s enemy and he builds it up to the place that the person literally becomes blind to spiritual things. Since Yah/God holds individual choice to be sacred, He will not coerce or force spiritual choice. Bitterness can block the adolescent or adult child’s openness to Yah/God and close off Yah/God’s access to the child. But, in the economy of intercession, the praying parent can keep the adolescent or adult child before Yah/God in prayer and invite Him into the life!

 

Let’s be clear here! This intercessory invitation of Yah/God into an adolescent or adult child’s life does not override that child’s will or right to choose. It simply gives Yah/God the right of access to an otherwise closed mind and heart, in order to build a clear picture of Himself and His love, in order that the child may have a real choice–the ability to see Yah/God as He is and Satan’s kingdom as it is. I don’t know about you, but I have confidence that, if my grown children can be given a clear, informed choice between either Yah/God or Satan, they will choose Yah/God and enjoy a personal relationship with Him. Through intercession, I have the privilege of giving Yah/God access to their life to produce this marvelous choice situation. I can do this through consistent and earnest intercessory prayer.

 

  1. A Blinded Mind: Again, the enemy of souls can confuse thinking through false philosophy, “scientific” thinking, or non-Christian religious beliefs. The Bible says that Satan, as “. . . the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of The Anointed One/Messiah/Christ, who is the image of Yah/God, should shine unto them” (2 Cor. 4:4) Since they are blinded by Yah/God’s enemy, they are not able to see Yah/God clearly enough to make an informed choice, a true choice, about relationship to Him. Paul speaks further of such people as being taken in “. . . the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” (2 Tim. 2:26).

But there is hope for such spiritual blind ones. We have Yah/God’s promise: “Even the captives of the might shall be taken away and prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children (Isa. 49:25)[Emphasis supplied.]. As in the case of bitterness, Yah/God honors the person’s right to choose and will not enter without invitation. Since these blinded ones cannot make the invitation, the dynamics of intercession allow us to go before the throne of Yah/God, sponsor them there and invite Him in. Given intercessory access, Yah/God can then set up the conditions for a clear choice.

 

  1. Illness: A condition of illness can block the person’s ability to understand and think clearly. In this way, the person’s ability to pray, to invite Yah/God into their life, or to make a clear choice is block, or at least highly impaired. This illness can be physical sickness which lowers the energy, confuses the mind or causes pain that blocks out ability to perceive or respond spiritually. The illness can be mental or emotional, accomplishing the same blocking action. Or, the illness can be spiritual, creating barriers between the person and Yah/God. Serious injury through accident, can set up a situation which keeps the person from making a clear, informed choice or from responding to the presence of Yah/God’s Spirit.

Again, the dynamic Yah/God has established in intercessory prayer gives us the right to represent these wounded and ill people before Him, invite Him into their lives and give Him access to touch their lives–both for healing and for entering into a personal relationship with Him.

 

  1. Distraction: Yah/God’s enemy works in many ways. For many in this world, the enemy blocks spiritual response in people through sheer distraction. Have you noticed that some of our adult children seem to live in constant state of crisis? They just get one emergency cleared up when another one strikes them. The problems may be financial, sickness, fire, loss of job, trouble between husband and wife, conflict with children, legal problems, etc. The list could go on and on.

The truth is that when we live in constant crisis our attention is so occupied that we cannot make a clear decision for relationship with Yah/God. Even though we as parents see that many of these crises would vanish and the stress factors would melt like ice in the summer sun, to these people in crisis this is foreign language. They don’t have time to listen, to pray, to study Yah/God’s Word. They are more liable to seek secular professional counseling help than to go to God for help, or to use alcohol or drugs to relieve stress. Yah/God’s enemy keeps them facing repeated emergencies that prevent them from seeking Yah/God.

 

You and I as parents have the privilege of opposing the evil forces that are bringing and sustaining these problems and of inviting Yah/God into their lives to solve the crisis and give them a clear understanding of the resources He offers them. This is the privilege of intercession.

 

Understanding this, we can see that growth from childhood, to adolescence, to adulthood is not the only factor involved in spiritual choice for relationship with Yah/God. One can be physically mature, intellectually active and socially responsible, yet be faced with conditions that prevent an informed and open choice for Yah/God.  With this in mind, let us look over the original list facts about children and God again–this time with our adult children in mind.

 

  1. Children cannot fight spiritual battles for themselves, so we must fight those battles for them: Though especially true for little children, this is also true for our adolescent and adult children. Any of the conditions that we have listed can make them defenseless in spiritual battles. As intercessors we can fight these battles in their behalf, until they have grown enough in personal relationship with Yah/God to fight such battle for themselves.
  1. Children cannot knowledgeably put the Armor of Yah/God on themselves, so we must do it for them. Again, this is true for adult children who are outside a personal relationship with Yah/God. Intercessorily we can keep the Armor of Yah/God around them daily. Go to Ephesians 6. Look at the Armor of Yah/God and start praying this armor around your children each day. Watch the results.
  1. Children cannot grasp the meaning of grace and salvation, so we must grasp it in their behalf: If we possess a knowledge of Yah/God’s grace and live in personal relationship with Him, Yah/God has ordained that, as parents of small or adult children, we can put the umbrella of our relationship with Yah/God over our children until they come to the same knowledge and act spiritually for themselves in an effective way.
  1. Children cannot exercise mature faith in complex spiritual matters, though our society involves them in such complex matters, so we must exercise our faith in their behalf: This is a little harder to understand for our adult children. However, think of it this way. Many spiritual gifts, powers and advantages rise from faith and faith alone. Yet, even our adult children may be weak in faith. The principles of intercession allow us to put our faith along side their feeble faith and Yah/God accepts our faith in their behalf. Remember, however, this is a temporary, emergency matter. The goal is to give Yah/God full access to their lives so they can learn to grow in faith and lay hold on Yah/God for themselves.

Consider this insight into parental priesthood and its possibilities: The father is, in one sense the priest of the household, bringing to the altar of Yah/God the confession of missing the mark/sin. The wife and the children should be encouraged to unite in this offering and also to engage in the song of praise. Morning and evening the father, as priest of the household, should confess to Yah/God the sins committed by himself and his children through the day. Those sins which have come to his knowledge and also those which are secret, of which Yah/God’s eye alone has taken cognizance, should be confessed. This rule of action zealously carried out by the father when he is present or by the mother when he is absent, will result in blessings to the family.

 

Since this is true for the parental priesthood, both of father and of mother, when the children are young, it must also be a valid intercessory dynamic for our adult children who have become blinded by bitterness, hurt, emotional stress or preoccupation with a lifestyle which blocks Yah/God from full access to their lives.  Confess their sins? Yes, we have the most reliable witnesses to the validity of this practice: The great, Scriptural/biblical, master intercessors, to a man, confessed the sins of the people they were praying for. Our Supreme Ruler Hayasha/Lord Jesus and Stephen who copied Him, prayed, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”  These examples give us full grounds for the confession of our adult children’s sins before Yah/God, even if we do not fully understand the inner workings of salvation which make it possible.

 

You and I understand that the final forgiveness transaction for their sins will take place  personally between those we pray for and Yah/God. We also know that, when they are not in personal relationship to Yah/God, their sins block His access to them. So, you and I go to Him, sponsoring our loved ones before His throne, where they cannot yet come for themselves. We bring their rebellion and ignorance to Him and confess that they are sin. We then invite Him to enter their lives and provide them a true choice.  That invitation gives Him continued access to their lives and allows the full influence of His Spirit to work there.

 

You will also find this a helpful dynamic for your Christian teenagers and adult children. Even the strongest of us have times of faltering and discouragement. At such times, other Christians, especially parents or other family members, can wind their faith around us and help us remain strong until our dark time disappears. This, too, is an intercessory privilege.

 

  1. Children cannot understand the full meaning of covenant relationship, so we must grasp it before Yah/God and claim it for them there: The story of the Everlasting Covenant is a beautiful one, but too extensive to treat here. However, the blood covenant that Yah/God made with Abraham was covenant of blessing. It was a “family” covenant (Gen. 12:1-3). That is, the covenant was designed to bless not only adult covenant partners, but also their families through succeeding generations. Yah/God made that covenant binding not only on Abraham, but also on all his descendants through all generations. “If you are Christ’s/Hayasha’s/The Savior’s, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise” (Gal. 3:29). When you enter into a covenant relationship with Yah/God, that covenant is designed to apply to your children too, whether they are young or adult.

The covenant that Yah/God made with Abraham was a blood covenant–the most binding and solemn covenant it was possible to make. A blood covenant was always a binding covenant–it bound not only the original covenant partners, but it also bound their children to carry out the terms of the covenant agreement. Yah/God agreed to bless and prosper Abraham and his seed. Abraham agreed to follow Yah/God’s pathway. Yah/God made His commitment to this covenant and has never turned back from it. It was this same covenant that Hayasha/Yahusha/Jesus sealed for both Yah/God and man on the cross with His own blood. It cannot be changed. When it was sealed, it became the New Covenant—His personal covenant for life transformation sealed in blood for you and for your children.

 

Remember, this is a family covenant. When you become a conscious, active covenant partner with Yah/God, you can claim your children and grandchildren under that covenant. Even if they are blinded and not enjoying a personal relationship with Yah/God, they are still your children and you are a covenant partner of Yah/God. You have been given the covenant right to claim your children under that covenant. After all, Hayasha/Jesus shed His covenant sealing blood for your children as well as for you. Feel confident, therefore, in claiming His covenant blessings on your children.

 

“But,” I can hear someone say, “What if my child has openly said he/she rejects Yah/God and want to have nothing to do with religion, spirituality or Yah/God? What if my child has fallen into darkness and is practicing a life style that denies Yah/God and repudiates Him? What right do I have to pray against these choices?” Let me answer this by asking another question. What right do you have to determine that their present choice is their final choice? How would we know if they are merely blinded. Our Intercessor The Anointed one/Messiah/Christ cast demons out of those who were possessed and made intercession while being crucified and asked “Forgive them for they KNOW NOT what they do”.   

 

You don’t have to live very long as a Christian/Believer to see marvelous changes in lives that have been almost destroyed by sin. People fallen into gross immorality wonderfully transformed and living pure productive lives . . . shattered lives, almost totally corrupted by drugs, alcohol and their kindred depravity, turned around in instant, transformation . . . violent criminals turned into productive citizens–distorted lives become transfigured Christians. When such life changing can take place under His redeeming power, none of us have the wisdom to write anyone off anyone and consider them lost to Yah/God’s kingdom.

 

You and I have not been given the right of judgment of others, even over our own children. We must not confuse our personal disappointment with our children’s choices with Yah/God’s attitude toward them. Only the God of Love and His Son who died for your children has the right of judgment. Our right is the right to judge our children’s possibilities by Yah/God’s grace and mercy. Our intercessory prayers are to be based on that grace and mercy. We have no right to decide that any person is hopeless and beyond Yah/God’s grace. Instead we pray with confidence under the principles of intercession, with confidence anticipating life miracles, in spite of the worldly lifestyles we may observe and deplore in our children. 

 

  1. Children cannot use the shield of faith to quench the fiery arrows of Satan, so we must use our shield to cover them in battle: The Shield of Faith in Ephesians 6 is designed to protect us from the fiery arrows of Yah/God’s enemy. These arrows are the life circumstances the enemy produces to keep us distracted, to hurt us, make us ill, keep us in economic bondage, etc. If I and my son were fighting in some ancient battle and I saw my son wounded and overcome, I would certainly have the right to stand by his side and hold my own shield over him to protect him from the enemy’s arrows until help would come.  In the same way, I can extend my faith around my children, even as adults, and ask Yah/God to protect them from the enemy’s actions. This is an intercessory right.
  1. Children cannot knowledgeably claim the mind of The Anointed One/ Messiah/Christ operating within theirs, so we must claim His mind operatively in their behalf: It takes great wisdom to survive in today’s society. As Christians, you and I have access to the Mind of The Anointed One/Messiah/ Christ, if we choose to open ourselves to it (1 Cor. 2:16; Phil. 2:5). If our adult children, lacking that personal relationship to Yah/God, do not know how to gain access to Messiah/Christ’s wisdom, His values, His life priorities, His will power, His commitment—then we can ask Him to aid them in their crucial life decisions. We can invite His mind to be active in theirs.  This is an intercessory opportunity and right.
  1. Children have not the knowledge of Yah/God’s Word or the trained ability to use Scripture as the Sword of the Spirit against the powers of darkness: By now the pattern should be clear. The Word of Yah/God is our primary source of personal power. Devotional Bible study day by day is crucial to our spiritual survival. In the same way, the ability to use the Word of Yah/God as the Sword of the Spirit against the enemy is vital to our personal victories. You and I know that, but our adult children may not be aware of that at the present moment.

If I have the right to use my shield of faith to protect my sin-wounded children, certainly I have the right to use the Word of Yah/God as the Sword of the Spirit in their behalf, too. So we must use the sword thrusts of the Word of God in their behalf, claiming Bible promises, standing on Yah/God’s completed spiritual transactions and affirming spiritual facts. We look forward to the time when they will be able to stand by our sides in battle, using the Word of God strongly and skillfully. But for now, we can wield the Word of Yah/God against the enemy in the battles we see them fighting.

 

  1. Though children can pray, sometimes with remarkable results, they cannot pray knowledgeably and with mature perspective: We easily understand this with our young children. They simply have not had the life experience necessary always to pray effectively, because they lack knowledge regarding spiritual influences and dynamics affecting their lives. Yet, as we have seen, the same thing can also be true with our adult children. It is very easy to confuse physical and chronological age with spiritual and emotional maturity. They simply are not the same. Our adult children can lack prayer maturity. So, as with smaller children, we must pray those more mature prayers for them and in their behalf until they are grown enough in the Lord to pray responsibly for themselves. This, too, is one of the wonder privileges of intercession.
  1. Children cannot knowledgeably use the other weapons of warfare: In 2 Cor. 10:4,5 inspiration speaks of multiple weapons of spiritual battle against the attacks of Yah/God’s enemy on our lives. Some of these weapons are: praise and thanksgiving; the Name of Jesus/Hayasha; the Blood of the Lamb; the Word of Our Testimony, the Sword of the Spirit, Faith, etc. We cannot explain the nature and use of these weapons here, but the Word of Yah/God will clearly show you how to use them, if you will search out what the Bible says about them.  If our adult children lack this knowledge, there are clear dynamics in intercession that allow us to learn how to use them and use them intercessorily in their behalf.

            Now I recognize that many of these intercessory rights are new to you. But I do want you to realize Yah/God has placed them at your disposal and that you can use them in behalf of your children or grandchildren, both when they are little and when they are adults. As a parent you have special and primary blood rights to bring your children, at whatever age, before the Self-Existent Supreme Ruler [Lord]. They carry your genes and blood in their veins. Even, however, if they were adopted, you have special throne rights through Jesus’ blood shed for them. Partner with the Lord Jesus and apply that shed blood in behalf of your children.

            That same right applies to husbands and wives praying for each other. “These two are one” (See Gen. 2:24). You have the same right to pray for your mate that you have to pray for yourself–even if your mate rejects religion and God. And you have the same right to expect Yah/God to answer.

            I hope this sketch of some of the intercessory prayer privileges we have been given in praying for our children has been helpful. I know that it leaves much “how-to” explanation still lacking. However, I have found that just to realize I have the rights and privileges is enough to set my mind and heart on the track of “how-to.”

            Don’t wait for further understanding. Just begin to pray, using these privileges. Be persistent in praying for your children, both young and adult. After all, these conditions you are praying against and for did not happen overnight. Sometimes they took years, even decades, to develop. It may take considerable time for Yah/God to offset the habits and thoughts of years.

            Please remember, Yah/God’s Spirit always works on lives from the inside outward, from the center to the circumference of the life. The signs of life change and relationship to Yah/God that you desire so much in your children, both small and adult, will be the final signs you will see as the work of The Pure Set-Apart Breath [Holy Spirit] reaches the outer portions of life where you can observe its work. Do not be discouraged. Keep studying intercessory prayer. Keep praying intercessory prayers day by day for your loved ones.

            Remember, also, that Hayasha[Jesus] The Anointed One -Christ is our Mediator and High Priest. He is the chief Intercessor: “Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them” (Heb. 7:25) His prayers are perfect intercessory prayers. But Yah/God has established an economy of redemption that requires human partnership to activate His will on earth and give Him access to human lives.

            You and I are co-intercessors with Hayasha[Jesus] The Anointed One -Christ. He prays in heaven the perfect intercessory prayers. You and I pray our intercessory prayers on earth, however earnest yet clumsy they may be. Every valid intercessory prayer you pray is simply an echo of His prayers in heaven. But that echo, that endorsing, earth-agreement, is essential for His intercession to be given access to your children and begin the life changing work you so desire for them. Your prayers are essential in the process of God/Yah’s redemption.

            What a joyful and awesome privilege is ours. We pray as prayer partners with our Supreme Savior for our own children. This agreement between earth and heaven starts the unfolding of the very miracles of life change we seek.

 What a privilege intercessory prayer is!

 Keep on interceding, child of God, keep on interceding!

  For everyone who has been born of The Eternal One overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—even our faith.

1 John 5:1-4

Faith is the Victory!

The Whole World Knows

I think it would be safe to say that the whole world knows that what we think about and what we say usually happens depending upon how strong our faith in those words are. 

At one point in my life I had learned about a skill of getting to understand the emotions and work through them by drawing hearts. So one day when my granddaughter was upset I got 2 pieces of paper and some crayons out and we sat down to draw our hearts. The rule was that we had to use different colours to describe how we are feeling in our heart at that particular time. Then we would section up the heart and colour in the various parts labeling them and then expressing what was happening and how we can make the desirable parts “bigger” and the undesirable parts “smaller”. My grand daughter started by making a legend beside her heart, similar to the ones you see on maps, so I knew what the colours meant.

As she was colouring in her heart  I noticed that she began with all the “bad” feelings…then I noticed that while she was colouring in a good feeling she coloured a portion of it and then paused as though she was sizing up the situation, glancing at the bad feelings and the looking at the ‘good’ section, then after pondering for a moment she would add a larger piece to that “good” feeling in her heart. Then she would again pause, looking at her paper, I could see she was really contemplating, then she would add another larger section on top of the “good” feeling until it was the biggest feeling on the page.

 When she was done we began to talk about our hearts and she told me what each section was. Then I asked her why the “good feeling” part of her heart changed. She said “Well after I coloured it, I was thinking and I felt that it was bigger than what I drew, and then I thought some more about it and it still wasn’t big enough”

I responded, that is nice that the “good” part got bigger than the “bad” parts”.

She said in an astonished voice “Gramma, whatever we think about it makes it bigger, so if we want to be happy we just have to think about being happy”. I was amazed that a 7 year old could have such insight.

We had such a wonderful time discovering a bit more of who we are inside and more truth about how we can change our situations by our contemplation of what is good.

Philippians 4:8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Be blessed and inspired.

Are You a Lover or a Prostitute

Are You a Lover or Prostitute?

 By: By: David Ryser

A number of years ago, I had the privilege of teaching at a school of ministry. My students were hungry for God, and I was constantly searching for ways to challenge them to fall more in love with Jesus and to become voices for revival in the Church. I came across a quote attributed most often to Rev. Sam Pascoe. It is a short version of the history of Christianity, and it goes like this: Christianity started in Palestine as a fellowship; it moved to Greece and became a philosophy; it moved to Italy and became an institution; it moved to Europe and became a culture; it came to America and became an enterprise. Some of the students were only 18 or 19 years old–barely out of diapers–and I wanted them to understand and appreciate the import of the last line, so I clarified it by adding, “An enterprise. That’s a business.” After a few moments Martha, the youngest student in the class, raised her hand. I could not imagine what her question might be. I thought the little vignette was self-explanatory, and that I had performed it brilliantly. Nevertheless, I acknowledged Martha’s raised hand, “Yes, Martha.” She asked such a simple question, “A business? But isn’t it supposed to be a body?” I could not envision where this line of questioning was going, and the only response I could think of was, “Yes.” She continued, “But when a body becomes a business, isn’t that a prostitute?”

The room went dead silent. For several seconds no one moved or spoke. We were stunned, afraid to make a sound because the presence of God had flooded into the room, and we knew we were on holy ground. All I could think in those sacred moments was, “Wow, I wish I’d thought of that.” I didn’t dare express that thought aloud. God had taken over the class. Martha’s question changed my life.

For six months, I thought about her quesion at least once every day. “When a body becomes a business, isn’t that a prostitute?” There is only one answer to her question. The answer is “Yes.” The American Church, tragically, is heavily populated by people who do not love God. How can we love Him? We don’t even know Him; and I mean really know Him. 

What do I mean when I say “really know Him?” Our understanding of knowing and knowledge stems from our western culture (which is based in ancient Greek philosophical thought). We believe we have knowledge (and, by extension, wisdom) when we have collected information. A collection of information is not the same thing as knowledge, especially in the culture of the Bible (which is an eastern, non-Greek, culture). In the eastern culture, all knowledge is experiential. In western/Greek culture, we argue from premise to conclusion without regard for experience–or so we think. An example might be helpful here. Let us suppose a question based upon the following two premises: First, that wheat does not grow in a cold climate and second, that England has a cold climate. The question: Does wheat grow in England? The vast majority of people from the western/Greek culture would answer, “No. If wheat does not grow in a cold climate and if England has a cold climate, then it follows that wheat does not grow in England.” In the eastern culture, the answer to the same question, based on the same premises, most likely would be, “I don’t know. I’ve never been to England.” We laugh at this thinking, but when I posed the same question to my friends from England, their answer was, “Yes, of course wheat grows in England. We’re from there, and we know wheat grows there.” They overcame their cultural way of thinking because of their life experience. Experience trumps information when it comes to knowledge. A similar problem exists with our concept of belief. We say we believe something (or someone) apart from personal experience. This definition of belief is not extended to our stockbroker, however.

Again, allow me to explain. Suppose my stockbroker phones me and says, “I have a hot tip on a stock that is going to triple in price within the next week. I want your permission to transfer $10,000 from your cash account and buy this stock.” That’s a lot of money for me, so I ask, “Do you really believe this stock will triple in price, and so quickly?” He/she answers, I sure do.” I say, “That sounds great! How exciting! So how much of your own money have you invested in this stock?” He/she answers, “None.” Does my stockbroker believe? Truly believe? I don’t think so, and suddenly I don’t believe, either. How can we be so discerning in the things of this world, especially when they involve money, and so indiscriminate when it comes to spiritual things? The fact is, we do not know or believe apart from experience. The Bible was written to people who would not understand the concepts of knowledge, belief, and faith apart from experience. I suspect God thinks this way also.

So I stand by my statement that most American Christians do not know God–much less love Him. The root of this condition originates in how we came to God. Most of us came to Him because of what we were told He would do for us. We were promised that He would bless us in life and take us to heaven after death. We married Him for His money, and we don’t care if He lives or dies as long as we can get His stuff. We have made the Kingdom of God into a business, merchandising His anointing. This should not be. We are commanded to love God, and are called to be the Bride of Christ–that’s pretty intimate stuff. We are supposed to be His lovers. How can we love someone we don’t even know? And even if we do know someone, is that a guarantee that we truly love them? Are we lovers or prostitutes? 

I was pondering Martha’s question again one day, and considered the question, “What’s the difference between a lover and a prostitute?” I realized that both do many of the same things, but a lover does what she does because she loves. A prostitute pretends to love, but only as long as you pay. Then I asked the question, “What would happen if God stopped paying me?” 

For the next several months, I allowed God to search me to uncover my motives for loving and serving Him. Was I really a true lover of God? What would happen if He stopped blessing me? What if He never did another thing for me? Would I still love Him? Please understand, I believe in the promises and blessings of God. The issue here is not whether God blesses His children; the issue is the condition of my heart. Why do I serve Him? Are His blessings in my life the gifts of a loving Father, or are they a wage that I have earned or a bribe/payment to love Him? Do I love God without any conditions? It took several months to work through these questions. Even now I wonder if my desire to love God is always matched by my attitude and behavior. I still catch myself being disappointed with God and angry that He has not met some perceived need in my life. I suspect this is something which is never fully resolved, but I want more than anything else to be a true lover of God. 

So what is it going to be? Which are we, lover or prostitute? There are no prostitutes in heaven, or in the Kingdom of God for that matter, but there are plenty of former prostitutes in both places. Take it from a recovering prostitute when I say there is no substitute for unconditional, intimate relationship with God. And I mean there is no palatable substitute available to us (take another look at Matthew 7:21-23 sometime). We must choose.
