All of us are here,
complete with weaknesses. Weaknesses erase pride when they bring trouble
upon us.
Erase the pride first and you'll be humble.
David learned the lesson about disrespecting leaders. David was a strong
leader. Strong leaders have strong weaknesses as well.
But what if other nations
may be goading
us.(Psalms
140:1-5).to
become involved in a conflict? Creator IS in
control of all and will turn evil plans by others to good:.Genesis
45:4-8; 50:20; 1Peter
5:10; 1Corinthians 10:13;
Romans
8:28 "And we know that.all things work together for good.to
them that love God, to those called and who are in agreement with God's
purpose."
War does not determine who
is right, but who is left! People on Earth have much to learn, so because
Earth time is limited, they should start now.
Blessed are those leaders
who seek to benefit others and blessed are the
peacemakers:.Matthew
5:9; Job 31:29,30; 1Corinthians
13:5;
Hebrews 12:14; Proverbs
17:5; again,
Proverbs 25:15
and
reference #1.
Sometimes steps have to
be taken to ensure the peace.(Psalms
141:5).as
leaders may feel the Creator is guiding them. One can only go on what he
strongly feels in his heart. Thus,
the responsibility of leaders to especially stay close to their Creator.(Proverbs
3:6).in
prayer
and study, in contemplation and meditation, in
order to have wisdom.(James
1:5; 3:13.{word
'conversation' here is old English for 'conduct'}, 17,18;
get wisdom from others, like Woodrow
Wilson).and
discernment and for them to see "the
face of God" in others and to stay away from 'dead
flies' so the nation will prosper.(follow
through, noting "famine" in the following scriptures);
Ruth
1:1;
2Samuel 21:1; 2Samuel
24:10-15;
1Kings 8:33-35.
No
one becomes a leader unless God specifically puts him there. The Creator
put them in those positions so they could advance even further as they
have such a great opportunity for greater sincere and honest service to
others. Some forge ahead. Some get stuck. Some go corrupt and deceitful.
God wants to see what a man or woman is really made of.(*).
One's actions show it, even if no
one but the Creator knows.
And thus our responsibility
to pray for them.(1Timothy
2:1-4).and
respect
them:.Daniel
6:22; Exodus 22:28,29.
Many, not all, political
leaders are uncaring for others:.John
10:10-13. Few political leaders realize and care for the responsibility
they have for the quality of living of others. Few political leaders really
want majority rule. Few political leaders want the public determining what
the public wants, yet, on the other side of the coin, too few of the public
would put effort into the things of higher consciousness which would change
all things for the better. How?
Few political leaders want to move from ways of subjugation
to beneficial means to advance others. Few political leaders have ever
read Proverbs, such things as:.Proverbs
11:25-27; 14:22; 16:19;
20:23,25;
24:23;
25:2;
31:4,5.
And
things such as
these.
If God controls
the world, why
does God say to come out of it?
No one goes into power unless
the Creator specifically allows it for His ultimate purposes:.Colossians
1:16;.Daniel
4:32,35 ".....until you know that the most High rules in the kingdom
of men and gives it to whomsoever he will...And all the inhabitants
of the Earth are reputed as nothing and he does according to his will in
the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the Earth and none can
stay his hand or say unto him, What are you doing and why" Daniel
4:17 "This matter is by the decree of the watchers and the demand by
the word of the holy ones, to the intent that the living may know that
the most High rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomsoever he
will and sets up over it the basest of men." Numbers
23:8 "How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? or how shall I defy,
whom the Lord has not defied?" Amos 5:13
"Therefore the prudent
shall keep silence in that time, for it is an evil time."
Though the Creator controls
all, He doesn't make a person behave outside of one's main character framework.
The job to improve ourselves is ours
alone. Once a Christian,
then along with trusting in Christ enabling His guidance for those who
want it, we ever the more become His
workmanship.
The Infinite One puts some
people in positions of power. Unfortunately, most screw it up! They blow
the opportunity they have to develop good character and get a
high eternal reward.
Many well meaning Christians
get a little off side when they feel that the world is losing yet more
ground to evil, which it has done, and away from what they believe to be
God's
standards.
They may get all upset about
homosexuals
and their gay rights, abortionists and myriad
causes, as though all this may be somehow hurting God and they being God's
people must 'stand up for things'. If they would spend more time doing
what they should and realizing that God
IS in charge, rather than fighting what they shouldn't, we all would
be better off. But, do learn
to stand up for yourself when things affect
you. Leave off other
causes which are mostly set ups to divide people.
About the time a man is
cured of swearing, another tax is added to something.
"It is dangerous to be right,
when the government is wrong." "To learn who rules over you, simply find
out who you are not allowed to criticize"....Voltaire,
French philosopher and writer whose works often attacked injustice and
intolerance. He wrote
Candide, 1759 and the Philosophical Dictionary,
1764..Proverbs
20:2 "The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion. Whoso provokes
him to anger sins against his own soul." Ecclesiastes
5:8 "If you see the oppression of the poor and violent perverting of
judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter, for he that
is higher than the highest.(of
the land).regards
it, who is always higher than they.(meaning
God
always
in charge of all and anything in His creation)."
Don't get involved in the
dark side of living, including that of straightening all out that's
wrong out there. Be aware of it and pray about it, so you have God's mind
on it. As Deepak Chopra.(deepakchopra.com).has
said:."Leave
the larger plan to the spirit":.Acts
5:38,39. But you
do have a part. The answer to world peace is in the spirit and in
this you have a
vital part.
The Creator has words for
those who live a life of shifting
stance
and/or smoke and mirrors, words to the end effect of changing their heart:.Ezekiel
22:12-14.
If one has decided to annually
renew the contract he or she made by paying income tax the first time,
the contract he renews annually each time he or she files, it should be
filed honestly and not chiseled,
but do come to know your rights by learning the great
American
Constitution of 1776 and your own country's constitution, so you can
follow what's lawful
to do and income tax is not
lawful, unless you consent
to it, leaving your rights 'in the garbage' as
it were:.Romans
13:1-7; 2Corinthians 8:21;
13:7;
Philippians
4:8; 1Thessalonians 4:12;
Hebrews
13:18; Luke 8:15; 1Peter
2:12.
Think about, it's illegal
to fund genocide and illegal to send money to bankrupt corporations. The
government is bankrupt and no longer has any authority. The income
tax department is a private, not a government corporation anyhow. And,
it's located as a corporation, in Puerto Rico.
Better
to be honest and not pay.(where
it's 'voluntary' as in North America),
than to agree to pay and then be dishonest about it. If one does not comprehend
that his wealth is being appropriated,
then it's his responsibility to ensure the upcoming generation is properly
educated, that is, if he cares at all, which most dumb
ass selfish men and women don't. But soon all debt and income and other
taxes imposed upon people will be gone because there are some who are able
to do something about the corruption. How?
The word 'honest' in the
original Greek in the
New Testament means 'actions capable of being respected and appreciated
contain their own beauty' and
akin
to the similar meaning of the word
'worship', meaning 'worthy of giving attention to'; also in some translations
it is translated 'better', 'good', etc.
What's
better?
What isn't? Good to have
honesty; good for you, good for all. Honesty
sets up your children for a much better life.
An
important lesson on honesty.
Dishonesty is one of the
things that only operates at the
low consciousness ego realm and it too effectively cuts one off from
higher consciousness existence:.Hosea
8:3 "Israel.(who
is Israel today?).has
cast off the thing that is good. The enemy shall pursue him.".(problems
come when one leaves that which was good)
Some get involved in causes,
fighting government, complaining and carping
about many inequities, income tax being one of them. Income tax is not
necessary for many reasons. It's simply a control mechanism to maintain
slave status upon children, men and women.
If the government can print
as much money as it needs, then why is there an income tax? It doesn't
go to pay for anything the government spends money on. When money is needed
for social programs, paying the army, etc. it issues interest bearing bonds.
What did Emmanuel
say?.John
18:36.
Scriptures.(what's
a scripture?).on
honesty:.Romans
12:17.(provide
things honest);
Philippians
4:8;
1Timothy 2:2; Isaiah
33:15; throughout the entire book
of Proverbs.
There are many ways in which
people are dishonest. Suffice it to say that it all starts with one dishonest
with himself; one unwilling to look deeply at what he or she may really
be like, and along with this attitude comes a refusing to admit what one
is really like once they do see something that should be corrected. Correction
of negatives is done by a decision to be the opposite of the negative trait
one may possess.
But humans, have devised
many ways.(Ecclesiastes
7:29).to
maintain a dishonest mindset, such as hiding behind a veil of stupidity.("duh,
I didn't think it was wrong to use your stuff, sorry I lost it"; "huh,
I didn't see nothin' man", {the lying excuse for not getting involved}),
and etc. Such are the ways of the
world, the ways of the
mass mind of humanity.
That is why it is so important
to take advantage of all we have available in this new era,
the era of what the Holy Bible calls the new
covenant. Here we have the power, once we
have the knowledge, of how to turn our lives to all we want. This was only
not known under the old
covenant in Old
Testament times, but was not available until the Infinite One came
to Earth in the person of one called Emmanuel, was crucified,
and then resurrected from the dead.
But is
all
lying dishonest?
Romans
13:1,4,5 can also apply to various rules and regulations set up to
benefit society and protect people. Violation of rules that may have led
to the deaths of 27 men is
exemplified
in this song.
