Righteous Escape: (Unedited): 23 July 2018:

You cannot escape from the storms in your life by fleeing into them. You can only escape from those storms by fleeing from them. You can be protected from approaching storms when your safely hidden within the cloak of righteous prayer.
C.J.MacKechnie
=================
In any situation which is uncertain. The righteous prays first and all throughout the uncertainty. Then once certainty is achieved. The righteous prayer turns into righteous thanksgiving and gratitude. Gratitude is even given if the outcome is unfavorable to the righteous soul in prayer. The key is always in you actually being a good son or daughter. All founded in your love and not in your fears of trying to save your own skin. Skin which is not yours.
----------------------------
Amazing lightning storm coming ashore from the Gulf of Mexico. Woke up sons. One took video and the cat took off as she always does. So it is her who inspired this quote. She likes to take off in total fear from the safety of the garage and hide in the tall grasses as the deluge falls. While running crazy like into tall trash cans and other immovable objects. When she found us as a starved and lethargic kitten. I thought she would die and maybe the humans who dropped her off thought she would die or be eaten by the many hawks and eagles around here. But, she came back mostly. Her mind never fully recovered. She really is an inspiration to watch and to know. How many people do you know who are walking inspirations in your life? Those who are perpetually in need, Some may even be in continual desperate need. Know it is they who typically have been abandoned by the Christian worldly churches. How do you know if you belong to a worldly church? What is one of the signs that you belong to a Christian worldly church? You have to assign some criteria. Do you have a lot of members? Are you considered a rich church or even a mega church? These churches will have a list of services for those who are in desperate need. This printed up list that the church offers sends the desperately needy to other places. Think about that for a moment. Your church sends people away. To government agencies and to small churches of less than a hundred people who serve more people than your thousands of rich people. You should ascertain the truth of my words towards you and if they are true. Then I think you should devote time to prayer in this matter and move your membership to the poor church who does more good and expresses more love than a mega church.
-----------------------------
Yes, I know of one local near mega church which sends the hungry to a small church of about thirty people. Yep. The small church was someones converted house about thirty years ago. Yes and the real mission field is where you are. Blessed is the church of twenty with twenty pastors. Blessed is the church of one hundred with one hundred pastors. Blessed is the church of ten thousand with ten thousand pastors.
=================
Know this pastors, preachers and theologians. God hears and knows your words and your teachings before you do. So when you preach and teach works of duty and responsibility versus works of faith and love or even imply you don't have to do anything once your saved. What is it are you trying to teach? or are you trying to justify the do nothingness within your church? Are you trying to blind the people in your dead church as you fund your retirement accounts and blight your community? Will you hide and lie about your early retirement in the moving to another church in some far away Florida beach locale as being led. Surrounded by gates and security. Surrounded by boats, beaches, pools and parks.
The evidence of faith is in your expression of love to those who are most in need. Your outward expression of love is not from some sense of duty, responsibility or the show of a showman. It is only out of your love for your Father and who is your father? Yahweh or satan? That is OK. You don't have to answer for your father knows who his children are and it is he who will take his children home.
===================
Note:
Anytime I use the term "Your Church" anywhere I write. You should really consider those words as an insult. They are meant for you to keep those words in the back of your mind to always make sure that what you always do is only for "Whose Church"? So whose church is your church?
Many time when I've written "Your Church" I'm not even aware of it. While only a few times or 1% of the time I'm aware of what I write. Then once I've written it. It is gone to me forever. Which is why you always pray and have your Holy Text handy. If you feel the need to fast before reading. Then do it. After all I'm nobody of importance in the grand scheme of things. I'm just the invisible janitor. I'm your janitor just on the outskirts of your life.
-----------------------------
I've been getting a lot of foreign readers. The kind who go to holy places not called churches. Some of your are very important. When an opportunity arises and your janitor happens to be present in his/her corner of their world. Approach him or her as which is proper. You may require a respected female witness. Allow them to look up to you into your own eyes and humble yourself before them. Express honor and gratitude as you only can. All without public recognition or fanfare. If someone wants to publicize your private action. It was private.
=================
The Good Father snatches His children out of Hell while the evil father drags his children into Hell with him. Whose child are you?

Known Strength: (Unedited): 13 Feb 2016:

Unknown and uncertain strength becomes evident and known in the strong woman/person who protects her/their loved ones from the never ending storms of life.

=================== 
Thank You for the inspiration Young lady. 

You are an inspiration because you have become an inspiration. 

C.J.MacKechnie

This is the only way true inspiration works. The wisdom gained from having lived a very trying life. Is and always has been where the most profound wisdom has come from. Lessons to be learned from those who are will to see and hear it. Then alter their own lives so as not to repeat the bad and sad of your life. Kind of like the people in the Holy Bible. You can think of the many people as teaching how not to live your life. While at the same time you are living your own life with honor and respect. In spite of those loved ones who have abused and abandoned you in your past. You have become more than all of you past adversities. 
===============
The weak and helpless soul always is needy for those to perpetually rescue them from any and all adversity. It is these weak and helpless souls who are quickly forgotten. All a person can ever learn from these types of people. Is how not to become like them. Sad, hopeless and alone.

Stop The Rain: (Unedited): 15 March 2015:

For many souls, life has only brought them rain storms. No matter how far they travel the rain storms seems to always follow. No matter how long they journey, the rain is never ceasing. So they continue their journey in the hopes of out running the persistent rain in their continuing lives. They assign blame and plead for the sun to finally shine on them even if for a little while. The rain just kept pouring.
In my younger days I identified with songs of persistent misery and sadness. Like this song by Credence Clearwater Revival https://youtu.be/lIPan-rEQJA.
It was safer for me to stay out of my house even after the bad kids had to be home at their predetermined time at night. Leaving me all alone within the sad rain and wet misery of my life.
A lot of times if not most of the time. We are responsible for the rains which comes tomorrow and all of the bad moons in all of our evenings. Sometimes if not most of the time when all that we know is bad and sad. We begin to expect it and actually want it. Because, for many there is that deep down fear if they didn't have all of the doom and gloom. Then there would be nothing.  Something like that bad negative phrase in which I have myself stated many times in my old and dead self. If it were not for bad luck. I would not have any luck at all.
I have often told many people who have endured much. Many more than I and some on going drama and abuses. You just have to have that courage to walk away and leave it all behind. That is tough to do and is not the whole truth. You have to leave your old self behind as well. But, How can I do that? It is like some old guy(Jesus) saying you must be born again. To be born again your old self must die. Because, If your old self does not die or is left behind. Then all of those material things, those bad friends and awful family. Will just be recreated by you with different faces. So leave your old self behind and begin a new life with a new you. Far away from all of that bad and sad. As you are now a new person you must only put into your new self those things which are good and true. By adopting good and true things. Your life from hence forth will be one of meaning and purpose. The only person who can stop the rain is - you(King David).
Then the rains shall always be beautiful and welcoming. Every moon shall enlighten your nights.

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

origin: Rejected and stopped flashback. This afternoon. Adopted mom.

From a different vantage point. I can see myself deep asleep under the tigers and lions covers. Laying on my back. My mother walks in quietly. Gently Sits upon the edge of my bed and places her hands around my neck. I can hear myself gasping. With only little movements of slight struggle. Then I awaken and speak "mom" after hearing how she loves me. I end this vision of torment and reject it wholly.

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

Added on 08 Dec 2023: This is a memory and not a vision. This actually happened when I was a child.  Even though I was their. My adoptive mother tried to kill me on many occasions.

Spiritual Gifts within each of  us manifest differently and with great variety. For any of us to limit ourselves because some established religious authority claims much goofy-ness in your claims. Unless you get a direct Email from God himself or some neon lighted sign hanging from the stars above. Then I wouldn't listen to them nor should you take their pills. Many problems and much confusion arises when the gifts of the spirit manifest. Especially, if you no nothing about any such thing called the spiritual gifts. Then that person may begin to think what is wrong with me? Which of course is the wrong question. The real and more positive question is. What is going right with me? If you think that positive question sounds weird. Then your own psychology is revealed. But, It's OK. Knowing your thoughts and discovering the realization of your own emotions is a growth and developmental process. It's OK and so are you. Even if your gifts will never profit you in a world of absolute spiritual rejection. They will profit you as well as profit those to who you positively inspire to make that effort to look towards the divine light and to take those essential first brave steps of a new journey which has already begun. A Journey in which you have been both gifted and burdened. You gift shall help and inspire many with wisdom learned all along the journey. The burden of the gift(s) can be difficult. But, you were chosen for a decisive victory and not for any kind of failure. Find your strength and solace in the wisdom of truths all along this journey.

Life Storms: (Unedited): 11 June 2010:

Even during the rain storms of life. Something good and positive can be found if searched. 

C.J.MacKechnie
==================
If you are reading this and your life has been hell. Then know right this very moment. Your a survivor. Your a conqueror. Your victorious. Yes, You do not feel like one. Neither did I. But, never the less you are. Yes, the abuses and tortures you have endured were evil, bad and terrible. Yet, here you are reading this goofy quote.  Of all of the hell you have had to endure. Your strength and will defeated those who tried to end you. Your strength and will to live is proof that you won. I do understand, what I am trying to prove to you. I did not feel strong let alone a winner. I felt very much the opposite.
===============
No matter what you have already endured in this life. Even if you think and believe that all this life has ever been is Hell on Earth. There always is something positive to learn. Even if it is a simple positive thing that people can smile at in a weird way. Such as for me. "It is not good to try and kill your adopted son (me)". I know that was probably a failed attempt at humor. That is a basic lesson to learn. It is not good to kill your children, to abuse your children, to torture your children and etc.
There are about 500,00 kids in foster care every single year in the USA and the majority of those kids have parents who did not know that one simple truth and still don't. 
==================

Search for those positive good things which are within you. You are of great value and importance. 

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

You are worthy of the life you know you should have. You can give to your own children the life you always ever wanted. make the effort and make it happen.
