gods Worldly Rewards: (Unedited): 28 Nov 2016:

The god of this world or world system. Can only give the rewards of this world to those whom he chooses. For the god of this world cannot give or promise to give anything which he does not have authority over. 

C.J.MacKechnie

================
What can satan give you? Anything of any real worth or wealth? When you measure eternity versus a few decades of meaningful life with strength and vigor. It isn't worth the loss of your soul in exchange for worldly gifts of any kind. Just do the math.
--------------------------
The temptation of Jesus is an awesome story. A most beautiful of all fallen angels tests and he tempts Jesus. All satan could offer Jesus was the world if Jesus would just bow down and worship him. But, Jesus is the living word. That very same living word which manifested the entire creation of the universe or universes and all of the place still unknown in concept by the feeble human mind. So why would Jesus even consider this one tiny spec of sand when all of the all is all his already. Even the tiny spec which satan is allowed to possess for a short time. satans ownership even has a time limit.

Greatest Victories: (Unedited): 28 Oct 2014:

Do not celebrate your greatest challengers loss by accidental disqualification. Because, their disqualification may have prevented your greatest and most honorable of all victories.

C.J.Mackechnie

================================
Innocent and fluke accidents can happen. A simple misstep or a to quick of a jump out of pure excitement. When they do. Your pure victory or your ultimate test of your complete preparation is at stake. Especially when your number one challenger has prepared as you have. These kinds of disqualifications takes away a hard earned victory where all of your might, mind and spirit was could have been used. Yes, it will be true that you were victorious and that you won the contest. But, the worth and questions on who was the better will always be in your mind.
Never settle for cheap victories. Even if you lose. You still win in the long term knowing that you did all you could do and then some more. That you entered into the contest and exceeded your own expectations throughout the event. It even goes for your challengers who as well exceeded their own abilities. This is the purity of a complete honorable victory. Where all sides and all persons involved refuse to play dirty or cheat in any way.

Harsh Life: (Edited): 25 Sept 2014:

The harshness of life is the best test which measures what kind of human being you truly are and have been.  

C.J.MacKechnie

===============
 There is always something to learn about yourself. What have you done in your life? What are you doing now? It is all very important and defines the kind of human being you are today.
It seems the easiness of life breeds weakness and yet at the same time the harshness of life seems to destroy a person. What is in common with those people who seem to have excelled in whichever life has been presented to them? A foster kid who knew not acceptance or love goes on to be a member of an NFL super bowl team. A rich kid has the physical talent of a sport, and yet has no heart for it. A youthful foreigner who knows first hand the life costs of not having an educational opportunity digs deeply into the books of learning. Another youthful foreigner brings with him all of the entrapments of an impossible life to live in a free country and yet continues on as a slave in life.
What does it mean for you and the efforts you have made in this life or have not made? Your life is your fault. Ahhh but, what about my bad and sad childhood? It was really bad and sad and some very unmentionable things were done to me repeatedly. For years this happened and maybe for most of your 18 years of being a child. You have experienced and witnessed some very bad things. What do you do now? How do you go on now? What can you do now? Can you do anything?

!!!Fight!!!

Fight for yourself. Fight for your sanity. Fight for your right to live a decent life. You have all of the tools you need, NOW FIGHT and continue to fight even if there are more setbacks. The devil has already tried to end you, when you were at your most helpless and most innocent. Now you're aware and that, my friend, can be enough to defeat the enemy, any enemy no matter how big and tall they are, no matter how many they may be.
So you survived a child's hell. It was not pretty or pleasant. What did you learn from it? Anything positive? Anything positively revealing about yourself? Maybe that you could still be a responsible mother to your own awful mother? Can you see the strength you had, even through all of your weakness and innocence? Can you see through the fog of anger, hatred and apathy toward everyone who should have saved you? You still must resolve these issues within you in order for you to have a healthy life, a life of genuine well-being and happiness. Happiness is very possible for those who have been tortured and abused for long periods of time. You just have to forgive and to move on. You just have to understand that you were just the present body. That if it were not for your presence, they would have abused and tortured another. All of the abuses and tortures you have endured were never ever about you in any way. It was and always will be about them. I learned this lesson because I had to be adopted into it. If they had gone elsewhere and then adopted, then it would have been someone else and not me. I was just the selected body for them to abuse and to torture. It is that simple. That one realization has helped me greatly.
===========
The movie Sucker Punch is one of those movies which I liked and hated.  You do have to get over the scantily clad women in order to see the deeper meaning of this movie, which is ugly and abusive. That deep meaning of empowerment and self resolve. What are you willing to do for your freedom? Can you love another in a healthy way as to sacrifice yourself? Is that sacrifice just another definition of freedom?
If you cannot see beyond the physicality of the women then do not watch it. Really. I am not interested in causing cheap and disgraceful thrills in anyone. Life can be ugly and has been for me. Life is and has been much uglier to many of my foster brothers and sisters than I could have ever survived.
This movie is about rape from a step-father. Accidental murder. Abandonment. Prostitution as displayed as cleanly as possible. Disillusions and fantasy. Mental illness. Many different kinds of abuses.

------------------
It is tough to have all of those dark and torturous memories freely floating at the forefront of your thinking. Hopefully the abusers and those who had tortured you are out of your life. I hope you never return to them unless some very clear and profound changes occur within each of them.
But what of you? How will you go forward into the unknown, not being able to trust? You just have to soldier onward. You have to crush and destroy all of the negativity within you. Yes, it is possible. Yes, you can have a normal life. You just have to realize that all of the negativity, all of the abuses, all of your sufferings were not created by you or caused by you. All of those bad and sad memories were given to you by evil people who had done you a great wrong. This is why you should let all of that go. None of that bad stuff originated from you. It was all outside of you, all without your permission. So now by your own permission tell all of those bad and sad memories that they belong to someone else and they will no longer have power over you any more. Empower yourself to go and get your college education, to stop using all mind-altering intoxicants, to begin to create new and wonderful memories that you want to have within your own mind.
Your memories are your own and of your own creation.
Just watching a hundred sunsets and a hundred sunrises will offset some bad and sad memories.
Taking a hundred walks in parks will offset some of the bad and sad memories.
Watching a hundred funny movies will offset some of the bad and sad memories.
Learning something new and developing the new skill will offset some of the bad and sad memories.
Volunteering to be of service to others will offset some of the bad and sad memories.
Continuing your education will offset some of the bad and sad memories.
These are just the beginnings to a new you and they will only cover over your bad and sad memories. The final decision is all within you. If you assign those bad and sad memories importance or give them control over your life, then they shall. It will not matter how many good and happy memories you create if you consider the good to have a low value within you. You have to decide for yourself. No one can do it for you. You have to face your internal demons and conquer them. All of them. If you're reading this and you are safe now, then move forward as a good soldier. Fight for yourself, your sanity and your life. You are and have always been worth it, no matter the untold thousands of times those evil people whom you loved told you awful and hurtful things. Always remember every success you have is a failure to them who did you wrong. Seek no revenge even though all of your successes shall be nails within their own coffins. For they could not conquer you.

Afflictions Faith: (Unedited): 30 June 2013:

Afflictions Beginnings

Mercies Endurance

Grace Realization

Faith Growth

C.J.MacKechnie
================================================================
Choices made during the onset of an affliction leads to a growth of spirit which can only be realized through weakness and suffering. Assuming you have the intent of JOB or JOB's wife and friends. Which kind of person are you. I am not talking about intentionally self created afflictions, sufferings or miseries. C.J.MacKechnie
The new onset of an affliction is your very real test of your spirit, mind and body. Even if in the end you body and mind fails. Your spirit still grows and evolves. Keep your healthy and positive attitude.
Even if your affliction is old or you were even born into it. Do not assign blame, anger or hatred to any other soul. To do so, causes those persons harm. Causing harm to anyone isn't from a heart with love, peace or harmony within it. Thus, Is not from the Heavenly father.  
Yes, it is true. You are suffering and may have been suffering for your entire life. Within you, you hold the necessary life and spiritual lessons for all who cross your path to witness and learn. Your outward expressions in life can be incredible sources of inspiration and motivation. Become and maintain your efforts to be something healthy and positive. Only a person in your position and situation can achieve something so great. Just be sure to harness that pride and ego. While holding on tight to your humility. "The reins of humility is like grasping for air". C.J.MacKechnie

Workers Test: (Unedited): 06 March 2013:

Welcome and love those who test you. They are the construction workers of your resolve. C.J.MacKechnie

==========================
No matter the evil intentions or harmful plans that some will have against you. Welcome them and their questions, comments and deceiving stories. Even if their intent is for their own entertainment value.
Even from the lies and deception of their own mind. Many fruitful lessons can they still learn. While they walk away cursing you and your group. The seeds you will plant and the weeds they will become. Hopefully choking out the evil within them.

Test Israel: (Unedited): 20 Nov 2012:

For the last 7 days. The nation of Israel has been tested. That is all this has been. It was a test of the IDF responsiveness to any military action against it's own people. The testing was not for the benefit of Israel. It was for the Benefit of Iran, Hamas, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan. Once the Muslim Brotherhood has control of the keys. Their power and authority will be assured. So, They think. The Muslim brotherhood is not in control of their destiny. They are being raised up and  positioned by other humans. To end the Jews. Those who control the Muslim Brotherhood don't even care if they fail and die. The end result is less of them and less of Jews.

When it is clearly seen that Israel will commit their military to ground warfare. Then the leaders of the region will negotiate for a cease fire. Which has happened or is happening.

There were many objectives.
1) Test new Iranian missiles and launch systems. Range and accuracy.
2) Test the real world defensive capabilities of the Israeli Iron dome system.
3) Test to see how long it would take Israel to decide and mobilize it's military for a ground war.
4) Create new strategies for media propaganda wars.

That is test. Just A test. If this had been an actual emergency. Men would be rushing across the borders. Aircraft would be everywhere.
===================
 Israel's compassion is seen in the media. Hamas is seen as an evil entity.  Eventually Israel must begin to see that there are no innocent civilians in Gaza or in any of their enemies. When a government or authority raises their civilian population and children from birth to believe that any group of people are less than human and should die. They are absolute enemies. The evil within them is pure. Even GOD has destroyed whole nations and the whole world because of the purity of evil within. You cannot negotiate with anyone who is willing to die while killing you. For the enemies of Israel, There is nothing to negotiate except for Israels/Jewish non-existence. Once Israel/Jewish people become extinct. The second part of their plan will manifest. That of the destruction of New Jerusalem and the extinction of the New Jews. Which is the USA and the Americans.
A little twist is the USA must become helpless in order for them to destroy Israel and to cause the Jews to become extinct. 

==========

:Next Time:

The tests will be never ending. The enemies of Israel will continually build up and maximize it's strength and capabilities.

Israel must expand it's Naval forces to become a Naval blockade busting/defensive force to the keys. While also, expanding into a separate force which is purely offensive in nature.

1) Strait of Gibraltar.

2) Aegean Sea/Black Sea
3) Suez
4)Red Sea/ Gulf of Aden
A) North Atlantic Fleet
B) Indian Ocean Fleet

This can be done by purchasing the old cold war relics of the USA, Europe, and even Russia and then refitting them for their own purposes. Israel can start by buying the soon to be retire Aircraft carrier plus the battle group support ships of the USA.
Let the USA make the old aircraft carrier into a floating hulk and then buy it.

How Israel can delay the build-up. 

The brain trust and leadership of the enemies of Israel must die. 

Every time a missile flies into Israel, They lose a building. From the most important to the least important. Proper warnings to the people would be compassionate. 

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

Added on 11 July 2014:
There really isn't anything Israel can do to have any semblance of real friendly peace with any of their neighbors.  Israel must embrace their God and become a truly Holy people as defined by God their Father.
Israel must prepare their entire population for the wars to come. They must on their own create their wealth and their technologies. Including implements of warfare.
Israel must become completely independent from the USA. As it is apparent that the USA government no longer supports Israel. Though, the American Christian still does.
ISIS is growing and may become a new legal state. Redefining the borders of Syria and Iraq. They will become a huge threat.

What s really troublesome is American who go into the area to attack Israeli soldiers with slingshots. Then become a propaganda tool for the enemies of Israel. Israel will need to begin to take stronger actions against their enemies even if they are American citizens.

Israel, Your enemies are going to come from all directions and you know this. Yet, you are not prepared well enough for them. You must embrace GOD and become a Holy nation filled with Holy people as defined by GOD your Father. This is a must and a first step. Then you can begin other preparations. Such as building a fully enclosed 2549.21 foot long (777 Meter) Naval ship yard. Wide enough to build three or more ships at a time.

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

Added on 09 Oct 2023: 

It looks like the USA is no longer the good guys. The USA has provided financing, weapons, material aid as well as essential military training to the Palestinian Peoples. All of which was used against Israel. All of this information is publicly available.

The Iron Dome system has been overwhelmed or over saturated. The Israelis must add multiple gun systems to the iron dome network. 

The USA shall be cursed. Just as how the USA came against Israel so to will the friends of the USA come against the USA. In the same manner but magnified. The coming curses shall be compounded from all of the crimes and sins which comes forth from the USA.
