The Signs Of Humility And Thievery: (Unedited): 13 Nov 2023:

Note: This has been in the writing process for about a month or so. I forgot to date it. I do not notice any quotes but maybe you can find them.

=======================

To know and understand that I cannot get through the gates called the way, the truth and the life. To know that I am not worthy to gaze upon, to touch or to even be in the presence of the ark of the covenant. If I could get to the gates of Eden the angels would strike me down without a second thought. To know that animal sacrifices causes undeserving suffering and death of innocent animals is something I cannot bare. My sins are still daily and great. Yet I struggle with each one. To be like Christ, to pursue holiness and righteousness are impossible endeavors. Yet knowing The Christ Yeshua already did it all and yet still requires us to pursue those Biblical lifestyle tasks daily. All of it without pride, ego, arrogance, supremacy and entitlements.

I suffer because I'm insufferable. I lack because I'm lacking. The promises of God are certain and yet my lack of faith and belief is less than, so I do not see, know or experience the promises of God. Yet, God has even guaranteed his promises to each of us despite of ourselves. No matter our lack of understanding, knowledge and wisdom. God does not break His promises or covenants. It is each of us individually or collectively who breaks any or all of His promises and covenants.

Even a wealthy pastor or religious teacher can know and understand less than a new born believer. Even prophets and kings suffer through their own sins more so than a simple person who continually strives to be holy and righteous. A theologian may be able to articulate the vastness and richness of God and yet still be incapable of understanding anything of true importance like a child can.  

Every Christian knows that there are signs of the times and yet Christians are not taught to even know how to become aware of them, see them, to become knowing them and to understand them. Signs from God is not some kind of spooky occurrence. The signs from God are for His children to fully know and to fully understand. Yet, God will use signs to cause those to become His even though they already are His children.

---------------------------------------

So know this, Israel will suffer greatly and the USA will become no more. Two nations and peoples who were of God and have turned away from God will pay that price as which has been foretold and which is historical for Israel. The nation and peoples of  "We The People..." will collectively and together pay for what their own nation has and have done to the world. The only comfort for the people of  "We The People" we be for those actual children of God who when they die they each will wake up in His presence of absolute glory. But, there are far to many who are disillusioned to think and believe that they are one of His children. For them there will be a great woe, gnashing of teeth and those words from God their Judge, "...I never knew you...". 

You each must repent, repent, repent. You must change from your evil and worldly ways. You must begin to choose to live your life as The Holy Bible wants you to live it. Guess what you cannot just do those things because you have to or from some kind of fearful position. You must choose to do the right and good things simply because they are right and good things. You must choose to not do wrong and bad things simply because they are wrong and bad. As with any good son and daughter of their Heavenly Father. You do the things that your Heavenly Father wants because you love the Heavenly Father. This is what good children do. It is that simple.

--------------------------------------

Here are some signs. When you begin to see that listening to the radio in the car is taking you away from time with God. This will be a good thing. When you no longer desire to be in the world and think of worldly things as important. This will be a good thing. You will begin to see that all worldly technology is just more tools engineered to take your time away from God. These are good things and are signs for you. There are reasons why you are beginning to no longer watch TV or have a desire to watch TV. The same with any other form of entertainment. They are all thieves.

First Fruits Living: Heavenly Need: (Unedited): 04 April 2018:

First fruits of daily living should involve being in prayer and in the word before your day in the world begins.
C.J.MacKechnie
================
Heavenly Need: (Unedited): 04 April 2018:
Just as any child flies into the arms of their parents. So should we as children of our Heavenly Father have that deep need to be with Him daily.
C.J.MacKechnie
=================
In order for these actions become profoundly meaningful. You must have already chosen to become holy and righteous in the accepting eyes of God only. This should be a secret. But, if your a teacher, preacher or pastor, you must teach this along with fleeing from all manor of sin continually.
====Prophecy Lesson====
Just remember the basics of prophecy. The saints lose, the two witnesses lose, Jesus returns in anger and God/Jesus is the only victor. My question to you is this. Do you really want to meet an angry Jesus upon his return? Sorry dude, I'm not in that boat. Yes and I know I'm the only one on the planet who says this. I just do not want to meet an angry God. I would rather be elsewhere. I know the basic time line understandings.
In the world of the two witnesses. The whole world celebrates their death and send each other presents.
It is not enough to be simple believers. satan and the fallen angels believes and what is to be their fate? What will be the fate of those who are in your charge when they repent and then do nothing to avoid any kind of sin? What does that say about you when you see God? Will God say to you "I never knew you." What will be the fate of those who are in your charge when they know nothing about righteousness and holiness as the true way of life as a Christian. Will they see God and hear those words "I never knew you." Also remember Lots Wife. How long did it take for her to be no longer saved? How long did it take to look back?
Because if a professed Christian still goes through life lying, cheating, stealing and causing all manor of harm to every living soul. They are not Christian. No matter what they say or how much they give to your Mega Church or any other church. While your loving prosperity teaching remember that Jesus redistributed all wealth given by the end of the day. Jesus did not even have enough to buy a place to rest.
All prophecies are not absolute certainties. They all can either be prevented or mitigated. You should go and re-familiar yourself with Joseph and Jonah. Joseph mitigated a certain event and Jonah prevented a certain event. But, Jonah didn't really do anything willingly. It was the people and a king who heard his words. Then the people and animals choose to repent from their evil ways. Well for about fifty years they were sparred.
================
Personal Note: I fail at this. I have to continually make an effort to be holy and righteous. Yet, I still fail. I have to continually make an effort to even be nice.

Arrogant Beauty: (Unedited): 2? April 2015:

The arrogant pride of a person. Will prevent him/her from ever knowing true beauty.

C.J.MacKechnie

========================
Being self absorbed with a mindset of being all important. This extreme inward thinking and feeling. Will prevent you from doing anything for anyone or anything without a needed wanted of "What's in it for me" attitude. I guess we all suffer this to a degree. Myself included. What's in it for me? Why must I write? No one really cares about wisdom anymore or even understanding. Only knowledge is good enough. Which puffs you up into all self importance. I wonder sometimes if I would have been that prideful and arrogant person who actually had a fair opportunity for an education. Gone off to college received a degree or three. I mean really. Look at my writing style. It is genuinely awful. But, it is representative of how far I was educated.

-----------------------------------------

Child Abuse Rant. It's April.

https://www.childwelfare.gov/topics/preventing/preventionmonth/

But, my words right now are just reflective and the truth of me. I was born with a boat load of arrogant pride. For many years of my own life I was unable to see any beauty in anything. Maybe, I was still suffering and still trying to grasp why? why me? why them? why not?
It is difficult to transcend years of abuse, torment. Especially, if you have never had any reasonable training in how to handle the psychological damage done to you. After all, I was adopted into it. I was chosen to be abused. Much like some lonely pet whose only constant companion is a chain around their scarred neck and fed every so often to prevent death.
That is the thing about abuse and torture. It never was about the one who is abused. It is always about the abuser. You are and were just the body present. If it weren't you then it would be someone else. This is the essential truth. You the one who was abused was never ever really that important to your abuser. Except for the fact of their confronted embarrassment or their own self absorbed pride which suddenly blames you the who was abused for everything and all of their problems. Really, This happens. Can you imagine being a child and being blamed for their parents alcoholism, drug addictions and cigarette smoking. Every single problem that the abusing parent has originated with their child. Wow, can you imagine a child with that much power and authority.
Many people do not understand the logic behind the abuse of children. To spend the majority of your entire childhood being abused and tortured. Yes, I use the word torture. Because years of abuse is sadistic torture. Then it is expected of that young person to just get over it and get a life. Today, we don't even expect our military to just get over their wars without many years of compassion and mercy. Yet, a child who becomes an adult is expected to just move on. Move on from where? These abused children have nothing positive to begin with. Abused Children have no positive support structure. Abused children are shunned by the community as some kind of reject or untrusted criminal who will rob them. Abused children have no positive family support system. So, where do abused children begin their lives. When the adult business world requires education and references just to gain entry. Abused children have none of that. So where do abused children begin? Typically, on the street. Stealing food just to eat. Thus, begins their life of in and out of jail. Statistically speaking.
========================
Confronted Nine: (Unedited): 27 April 2015:

Baseball, I loved baseball. It is where you stand alone confronted by nine. Who only want to do everything possible to get you out. This is representative of life in general.

C.J.MacKechnie

Another fair opportunity in my life taken from me. I was never really a big strong person. But, I could hit the baseball into the holes and get on base. Then I could run. oh yes, I could run. I felt comfortable on third, playing softball as a young adult. How far would my dream had taken me. Maybe. High school or even college. Who knows. I still love the smell of the clay and the grass.

Young Alcoholic: (Unedited): 10 Aug 2014:

The young person who is already excited about drinking alcohol is already an alcoholic without ever having had a drink. 

C.J.MacKechnie

==============================
The signs for the parents are already present. The parents were most likely the teachers on how much fun drinking alcohol can be. While their child's excited public display of alcoholic beverages is just a mirrored reflection of your own preferences.
The young persons future is already becoming set in hardening quicksand and the young ones thinks it's cool, fun and exciting.
==============================
It doesn't matter the legality, medical usage, cultural acceptance or even social traditions. Any mind altering substances ingested, injected and inhaled is not a healthy practice for anyone for any reason, not even once. This includes smoking cigarettes, medications and of course illegal drugs. They lead to addictions which is the very least of the problems associated with any mind altering substances. Can you fathom this fact, the addiction is the least of the problems associated with and mind altering substances. The mind altering substances can lead to death and murder. The mind altering substances can lead to illnesses and diseases. The mind altering substances can lead to a loss of control and loss of soul via outside demonic influences. Which have taken over the hosts body because of their now weakened energy fields known as auras,
============================
A demonic spirit can take over your body. A demonic spirit can even take over the body of your unborn child all because you used or was prescribed a mind altering substance while pregnant. 
Have you ever seen a child who had a demonic spirit within. Their outbursts of animalistic behaviors and then the parents see their child within. Over time, the child will be lost. Confined in a prison within a prison, within a prison. depending on how many demons are within the childs host body. The suffering of the parents will be obvious. The accidents to the other children and animals will also become historical evidence.
Yes, I added this and it doesn't really matter if you believe this demonic stuff or not. It still happens and will become more prevalent as humanity gets closer to their own extinction by their own trigger finger. This is prophecy not of me. Hell on Earth is to come.

If humanity does not love one another by their own free choice.

If humanity does not live in peace with one another by their own free choice.

If humanity does not exist in harmony with all things by their own free choice.

Unfit Blessing:(Unedited): 29 April 2013:

The parent who believes their child is that inconvenient thing, which they have to drag around. Is unfit for the blessing they know not they have received. 
C.J.MacKechnie

============================
For some, Life seems to have dragged down the young parent into a sense of drudgery and despair. All of this despite of living in a beautiful city like Clearwater Florida. These parents seem not to be even aware of the negativity and hopelessness of life they teach through their action to their own children. They are also not even aware of the perpetual beauty that exists all around them.
=======================================
Now matter how miserable and sad your life may be. All of the beauty of the entire universe is continually existing in a constant state of awesomeness, even right now. All you have to do is just look outside of yourself and into the world you reside in.
=======================================
People pay thousands of dollars just to travel to Clearwater Beach, Florida and see the sunsets. All of these seemingly happy people are content with the very unique sunset they will see on a day of their choosing. That sunset will never be exactly the same ever again.
================================
Beauty always exists even when your not feeling beautiful.
==========================
Life may not be exactly what you want it to be. It is usually like that for everyone to a certain degree. If you begin to see right now the misery, sadness, drudgery, despair that you are teaching through your words and actions. You are raising your children to be like you. An uncivilized animal trapped in an undesirable life. You can change and alter your children's life today. Simply by just identifying the beautiful world around them and the undesirable. You have the power to encourage your children not to repeat the sad woes of your own life. Encourage and push your children to escape from the gnawing teeth of cultures lies and deceptions. Teach your children anything positive and teach your children that everything positive is possible. By doing these things, you cease being an unfit parent and become that strong hurricane force of nature which moves your children into a better life. Which you may not had the opportunity to have.
Think about it.
Think about the hurricane.
If you keep your children within your eye. They will always be safe from harm. Then when your children become of age. They will see the best and safest way to out of the calm eye of you. Out of the darkness and into the horizon. The young adult child of yours sees only storm clouds. In every direction. Then when they look up and see the beauty in the center of their stillness. The wise adult child will see the best path is up and out. For many who have not been taught that everything is possible. Will not see their freedom in the stars of the heavens. If you begin to teach your children right now the positive things in life are possible. They will see the truth in your words. Even though those positive things may not be a current opportunity for you right now. They will see that your positive opportunity will be in the witnessing of the children you have raised. You are the sole positive force for your children to live a life worth living. They do not have to be trapped in misery like you are now. Push them up and out. Become the wind upon their wings which gives your children flight of true freedom.
=========================

Emotional Penny: (Unedited): 11 April 2013:

A penny is just a penny. It does not control how it lays, heads or tails, shiny or dirty. But. You who discovers a discarded penny is the one who assigns either a positive, negative or apathetic emotion to it. C.J.MacKechnie

===========================================
Even the conclusion that a penny is good luck or bad luck. It is you who emotionally decides if something is good or bad. Your acceptance of false belief systems, taught to you as a child from other people defines even today how you live. A penny is neither good luck or bad luck. But, A penny found means you now have more than what you had before and that simple fact may be just enough good luck, you need to jump start your positive life changes for the better. Heads is good luck and tails is bad luck is the false belief which takes away your freedom to choose if any such thing is good luck or bad luck to you. 
==================================
Choose to assign a positive emotion and conclusion to as many things as you can. Even when confronted with terrible terrible deeds. Find something positive to inspire others with. 
==========================
When you find any penny anywhere. Even if it is dirty and showing tails. Pick it up. clean it up. Pray, bless and mediate goodness into the penny. Then leave the shiny penny up on heads for another to discover. 
=================

Honor Burdens: (Unedited): 24 May 2010:

There is and always will be blessings for the burdens that you honor.
 C.J.MacKechnie 

========================
The burdens you bear with honor are your blessings and within your burdens is the Christ Jesus.  
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25%3A31-46&version=NASB

Read it many times if you have to. If you believe Jesus Christ is your brother. Then so is those who are homeless, sick, naked, in prison.
================
 Think about this. There are people who will care for their severely mentally and physically challenged children up until they die. Parent or child. That is burden with honor. Then there are those who after given birth to an unwanted or undesirable baby will throw it away. Kind of like those fetal alcohol syndrome babies, disabled, mentally ill or any other perpetually ill babies. That is dishonor and abandonment.

Proven Actions: (Unedited): 03 April 2008:

If you want your child to grow up to be a good person with good characteristics. You must show her/his through your life long positive actions taken. This will be the only proof that will make a said difference in her/his life. Words are empty.
C.J. MacKechnie

=====================
Your actions are the real teaching tool for your own children. The revelation of your misdeeds along with the wisdom and understanding you have learned can be spoken truthfully to your children. These will be long lasting for your children. Assuming you have had made those corrective behaviors. If you are still acting poorly and still under the thumb of sin or addictions. Your words will quench your children's thirst like cool sand in a cool glass offered to them. Yea, did you get that confusing look on your face reading that cool glass full of cool sand.
=================

No Repeat: (Unedited): 24 June 2008:

The mistakes and sins that your family and friends have made in their own lives. Does not give you permission to repeat those very same mistakes and sins.
C.J. MacKechnie

==================
It is just like when. The parent tells the child to live a life with character, honor and without sin. Then the parent is witnessed by the child getting drunk, smoking, lying, cheating, having many sexual partners and etc. What will the child believe. The truth in words? Or the truth in action?"
By discovering and knowing the mistakes and sins that your family and friends have made. Enables you to logically not make those same mistakes in your own personal life.
Also, By discovering and knowing those things that your family and friends have done right. You have a template to follow. 

Death Walking: (Unedited): 14 Aug 2012:

The death of a child can often times be seen in the empty shells of walking adults. C.J.MacKechnie

========================

Loses and abuses can be so traumatic for a person. They often become temporary smiling shells of walking humanity. The death of a child is an awful thing for any parent to experience. The death of a kids own childhood. Can lead that young person to become an empty shell of adulthood. So full of nothing, That not even apathy can fill the void. 

Ive in my history witnessed many deaths. Both physical and emotional. Some become the walking dead. This means they just exist in life as some lower animals do. Their early death is a sort of misguided and deceptive freedom from this life of living hell. In which no one seems to care, another false perception. They seem to be to broken, to un-socialized, to feral for  any good persons compassion or love, kindness or friendship. When a friendly kind person makes their way. It is often only kindness and compassion in the moment. The lesson of the good Samaritan is forgotten. Especially in regards to the time it took for healing and recuperation. It seems that many Christians seems to think a good dead is only the writing of a check or should only last for the duration of the purchasing of a McDonald's meal.

A person who has experienced more abuse than you the reader could handle. Needs friendship, guidance and mentoring more than the cash your willing to give. Because, When you give a person full of emptiness  your cash. They forget you quicker than you have forgotten them. Logically, Spiritually, emotionally and physically. What positive benefits have you the giver actually given? Something of great importance or of minimal value? The selfishness of giving money benefits you more than the tormented soul who received your money. You the giver will feel better for days, weeks and even years for the continuous giving of the loose change which is of little importance to you. You may never realize this. But, the giving of your loose change. This may be more of a dis-service to the tormented soul than it is to give nothing at all. Thus, prolonging their self tormented hell of a life. Unless, a person is critically ill. A person will not starve themselves when given the opportunity to save themselves. In the USA the land of many Opportunities. There is always an option for a person to save themselves.

====================
To avert all of the coming bad and sad prophecies. We each must decide to do the following everyday, every hour, every minute and every second.

To Love one another.

To live in peace with everyone.  

To exist in harmony with all.  

To Cherish all life.  

To be obedient to the Laws of God.  

To become righteous and holy by the accepting eyes of God only.
