Continuing works by J.J.

Entry #6
I’d like to digress for a second and give an example of walking in the spirit and the truth…
In the Union Tribune Sat. may 9th, 2009 edition, feature editorial writer Chris Reed’s opinion of Americas finest blog, He mentions the “appalling inexplicability of Oprah Winfrey’s actions of allowing the “ranting” of show biz nit wit Jenny McCarthy to continue her “quest” on her show; being as how “innocent” kids could die!
We know where you stand Chris, keep on with your quest of informing your readers with the news on Oprah…to me, I think the public eye should approve of the private eye on the stage of life. It shows a noble and blessed result of a caring heart, yet still, a heart that can see this, would be blessed to see the right to judge from oneself, that such an incident of action can happen a possible two ways at oblique angles, that could be seen as having a better way to be: That of, we all have a child in us and we all need to learn from our mistakes no matter how much responsibility has attached to us! Let’s learn to look at the big picture…It’s really a better picture.

Oprah? Have you been listening with your ears on? An “unflattering” picture has been expressed concerning you. You can try to ignore Mr. Chris Reed, Feature Editorial writer at the Union Tribune newspaper and blog site; chris.reed@uniontribune.com which would signify a larger than expected problem in you personal life,
Knowing what people are saying about your actions, and forming an answering opinion within your own mind, or in the company of friends who hear’s all the “How dare He’s.” is normal.
But clearly all he’s doing is giving you a “wake-up” call. Much like we are given
in the bible, to wake up from our slumber in the walk with our dear Lord Jesus.
Perhaps Mr. Chris Reed would agree with me that you could benefit from hiring a public relations expert…Right? Well maybe a little, one that can make the announcement that Oprah has moved to repair what needs to be repaired!

Oprah, Mr. Reed is hoping you will re-evaluate your past actions so as to gain awareness of a better way to be, since your actions have been “inexplicable” to him.
Either fix it or explain it! Here’s the thing: if your actions “appear” to someone else as “unloving (and these do because some child may get hurt,) then you need to either fix it or explain the more important need for the Love of God to be exposed.

If you are unable to use the words of the “Hidden Wisdom” of Christ Jesus to champion your actions in an explanation to Mr. Reed, and possibly to all of his fans/readers who agree with him, then I can only say, I hope you will become a devoted follower of my sharing of the doctrine teaching “The Way” in this blog as I share it with my readers.

Dear readers, it is my hope that my blog comforts, strengthens, and encourages you to step true to the Lord our God and savior, Jesus Christ.

I’m just a poor, white, homeless, senior citizen that grew up making more than my share of the mistakes in life. Then I found God and Jesus and the Holy Spirits gift of salvation and oneness with God was given to me. Then later, about 6 months, I was lying down in my jail cell reading the Bible that my spiritual sister Wilma Walsh of “Willi of Calif.” gave to me to read and as I read this certain bible verse I received the gift of prophecy.

I read this verse and all of a sudden something “real” clicked off of my eyes and fell onto my bed with a “thump”. I was quite astonished and yet, saw nothing on my bed. But when I began to read the bible again, the last verse I read, being re-read to continue on, had a new and different meaning than the one I was given, in church and by certain pastors. I now saw what it truly meant. From that day on in 1980, it took over 26 more years for the message of understanding in the spirit of truth to come into focus and I was set free when it did.

Can a dog return to his vomit? Sure, but I’ve 26 years under the belt of truth, and love to stand on. I believe in it without question and I choose to live in “The Way, the truth and the life” in Christ Jesus. And having matured, as I shall continue to grow, I can share it with you.

Oprah, here’s another article for you from my book: “The Authorized Book of Short Christian Stories” It is meant to give women a wake-up call and arouse with-in them the desire to seek out the true teaching from a true prophet. I hope you like it…you can get the book at: http://www.amazon.com/products/dp/1442145137/ Or you can get my earlier book: “God’s Prisoner” at: http://www.amazon.com/products/dp/144044031X
I caution you on reading “God’s Prisoner” even though it’s bound to become a classic, because it is a HARD REALITY CHECK using the fictional character of a born-again ex-felon as the good guy. This book is not for the squeamish!

Till next time, take care. J.J.



“IN RELATION”
From
"Works by J.J."

“The head of woman is man and the head
Of man is Jesus Christ.”
(I Cor. 11:3)


This is scriptural, but let me tell you something; although true when all things are spiritually defined, things haven’t been spiritually defined for ages!
A possible mention of this spiritual condition spoken of in the bible, is found in Acts 16:14-15…A certain woman named Lydia, whose heart the Lord opened, so that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul; And in answer to the apostle’s need of lodging was able to constrain him, and his group, to stay at her home by facing them with the wisdom of the spirit, saying, “If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there.”
The depths of meaning here is huge, but let’s give it a brief reality…Lydia was of a MEEK spirit, capable of being taught the way of God, and accepting it in her life.
In its wisdom she was able to shrug off the worldly expectation of virtue that would never permit a man to sleep under her roof unless it be in matrimony. Instead, her virtue was cherished in the love of the Lord to offer unto a servant of the Lord the needed comforts. Thus providing more than lip service to the verse: “But speaking the truth in love, {that we} may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” Eph. 4: 11-16.
The problem of this is the men of today are not in tune with the knowledge of the Son of God in the spiritual sense. And because of this, for the women of today to be MEEK in her submission to man is a gross error of judgment!
I should also draw your attention to the false wisdom of certain men, who prey on the woman’s inner need to find a man of truth, love and wisdom. (Warned of in the bible.)
Those false men who talk of “observations” and “human reactions”, mixed with biblical record, (such as the verse we opened up with,) all just to “appear” wise and knowing; but who’s solutions leave you feeling insecure and confused, in which, you gladly give up your individuality and independence, to let him be your guide and your conscience.
From such a player, who laughs when you laugh and is manipulative in his comments and sexual innuendos…RUN FROM HIM! You are better off being alone and lonely than in his clutches!
So; In relation to the truth, where does the woman turn to for her words of knowledge and guidance into the understanding of the things of God and of life?
Rarely in the church. With over 34,000 different doctrines being given in the churches, the evidence is clear: you won’t hear the answers there! And yet, you will find it written there!
The Bible! In it you can be enabled to see the straight of it all. Go back to Eph. 4: 11-16 and read the earlier verses… “And He (God) gave some, apostles, and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love…”
It’s in there! The task is, how do we get it out? First, let me say this: it’s not mans fault that he has failed to come into “The unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God;” considering verses found in Isaiah 30: 20, 21 and Jeremiah 3:15 we seem to see that God purposely hid the teachers that are to teach us how to walk in “The Way” so that they can make their appearance in these end-times! We are not to question God’s reason for doing this, but the reason is clear to one who knows of the way. That reason is: because discipling is more time consuming than converting.
The beauty of the way is it does not require understanding to be saved. That is given when God weights the heart and tries its reins and finds the sincere heart. The discerned understanding that we are told to find follows as we walk in the way. But mostly it’s prevented by satans confused teachings of false doctrines that only serve to satisfy our itchy ears.
Yet, the gospel is preached and it retains the power to reach into our hearts and cause us to identify the true longing of our hearts.
Because of this and God's promise found in Romans 10:9-10; churches have given birth to many more born-again Christians than would have been made possible if our time was spent on discipling rather than conversions, and satan would have quickly debased all the world, bringing us to an end that much sooner.
With this now in mind, read Isaiah 30:20-21 and see that the teachers will soon be revealed, even now, that are to teach us How to walk in The Way. Which is the same as saying: How to walk in the spirit of Christ Jesus; for Jesus is: “the way, the truth and the life”.
It needs now to be said, how we walk in Christ, having his thoughts, will and emotions become ours in faith and in knowledge.
If you were to witness the person given to teach "The Way" will you be MEEK and learn from him? That is the question you must ask yourself.
Space and time prohibits this sharing now. But should you request to hear a prophet's word and receive him you shall receive a prophet's reward; (Matthew 10:41) you will grow in the fruits of the spirit; (Galatians 5:22) you will be sure and certain of your calling and election; (II Peter 1:3-11) you will have a closer relationship with your heavenly Father; (Ephesians 4:17-19) All of which makes for a stronger marriage and personal relationship.
It is important that women learn "The Way", men are meant to teach it but aren't. Women who learn it can influence the men of the world to begin to learn it. Let the unity begin!!
Behind every good man is a good woman! The growth of a man's strength of understanding and compassion, Joined with an "Understanding" woman's strength of emotion and commitment- makes for a better world with Jesus at the helm! Now in love and truth, Then in person!
No longer will the deceitful be able to confuse you and mislead you. And when satan appears as an "angel of righteousness" to lead the world into captivity, every follower of The Way will know he's a fake! How? Simple! He is a liar! The father of lies, and there is no truth in him. But Jesus is the man of truth! His Way teaches us to be men and women of truth. Knowing God's love! Acknowledging his Truth.
Satan will tell you to love God, Be at peace with all men, repent and be baptized...BUT He won't show you how!! His way will have the blind leading the blind! We already have over 34,000 churches doing that! (According to the World Christian Encyclopedia.)
The true teachers will say: "This is the way, walk in it." A very simple way it is too! "learn from me." saith the lord. "for my yoke is light and easy to carry."
Walk in the way and the light in the scriptures will come alive for you. I pray you will seek out a true teacher of the way. Chances are he will be a man, capable of teaching the MEEK. In Him, J.J.



(a word from the author: If you read this and feel it is true but incomplete, you would be right. It was originally written for a woman's magazine with the purpose of giving them a wake up call in the hope they would want to hear more on "The Way". If you want to hear more of "The Way", you need but go to it as the first of these articles on this authors web page.)
