Y/n had decided to stick around camp for awhile and Kappa made it his mission to incorporate her into the family as seamlessly as possible. The two of them had a way of moving about the camp watching one another's every move.
Kappa found the way she spoke with the others and brought a level of comfort just from gentle touches to their faces or arms made everyone calmer. It was very motherly. He pondered the idea of having her teach all the girls how to be as soft and gentle as she was.
Y/n found listening to Kappa rant around the bonfire was both entertaining and educational. He spoke with such conviction that the others listened to him like he was preaching gospel straight to their souls.
"They're trying to take over. Soon enough, there will be metal rods in all of us, puppetting around like mindless robots. It's fucking disgusting." Kappa spit into the fire. Tonight's topic was based on the technological advancement that NASA had come up with sending astronauts to space but allowing them to have animatronic vessels here on Earth that could be present with their families.
The idea of robots taking over the world made Y/n chuckle to herself and it caught Kappa's attention.
"Y/n....do you have some thoughts on the matter you wish to share?" His tone was challenging and she simply shrugged her shoulders as she leaned back in the chair, holding onto a beer bottle.
"It's the American Dream isn't it? Father goes off to work while mother stays home and raises the nuclear kiddies, only now dear old daddy can be working around the clock while mommy gets to ride on a mechanical cock instead of the flesh and blood kind." She smirked. Some of the others laughed and Kappa knelt down opposite her, the large fire between them.
"No machine could ever compare to weighted flesh of the real thing." Kappa palmed at the front of his slacks and Y/N smirked.
"I don't know, I think unless you've used one then you can't really speak on its efficiency." Y/n knew she was pushing it and Kappa held her gaze. He was clearly getting worked up. His silence meant he was annoyed. It had only taken her a few days of being here to know that his silence could bring punishment.
As people started to retire to their cabins, Y/n remained in her seat, watching Kappa places kisses on his adoring flock of women who begged him to fall into their beds but he refused. He made his way towards Y/n who looked up at him as he stood towering over her.
"Left all your little minions heartbroken tonight? How will they survive without the weight of your flesh and blood cock?" Y/n continued to pick at Kappa and he grabbed her chin forcefully making her stop.
"Why would you defend the government taking over the human race?" Kappa's tone was serious.
"What?" She tried to laugh it off but his grip tightened.
"Who do you work for?" He asked curiously. Y/n held his gaze strongly.
"Technically I don't work for anyone. I'm self employed." She tried to give him the straight answers he was looking for.
"So a government contractor, is that it?" Kappa pressed stepping closer, trapping her in the chair.
"Let go of my face." She hardend herself but Kappa didn't budge.
"Darlin' if you think just because we've fucked that I won't toss you into that fire, you're sadly mistaken. I asked you a question." Kappa threatened squatting down to stare into her face.
"You want to hurt me because I challenged you in front of your people or because I think a robot cock is just as useful is your own?" Y/n bit back.
"You want to fuck something that feels nothing? That's what you want? That poison running through your veins?" Kappa flips out his knife and holds it to her throat.
"You want to kill me? Go for it." She tilts her head back exposing her neck to him. Kappa pressed gently drawing the slightest bit of red blood before wrapping his hand around her throat.
"I am trying to build a community here, something real. Something that will survive when the world goes to shit and the machines try and take over." Kappa growled.
"You think I don't realize that? You think I've stayed for the fun bonfires and fucking?" Y/n asked making Kappa release the pressure of her throat.
"You are the leader here Kappa. To them, you are a God among men. They feel safe and empowered with you and they should." Y/n could see him taking in everything she was saying.
"And you...what do you stay for then?" Kappa asked almost nervously.
"Every great man has a woman at his side reminding him of his potential." Y/n leaned forward towards Kappa.
"And you think you're going to be that woman?" Kappa challenged. Y/n shook her head at him.
"I am that woman." Her breath against his lips made his eyelashes flutter. He stood straight up and held his hand out for her to take but instead of taking his hand, she played with the front of his pants. Carefully unlooping his belt and resting her face against the zipper, long enough to take in his musk and grip the zipper with her teeth.
"Come to bed with me." Kappa lifted her chin gently this time and she refused.
"I want to feel the weight of your flesh and blood cock on my tongue..." She pulled his slacks down his legs and his cock hung heavy between his legs, slightly curved to the left and sprung from a heavy bushel of dark, coarse hair.
Y/n leaned forward and licked his already wet tip, listening to him take a deep breath in through his nose as she peppered little wet kisses over the skin, lapping at the precum.
"You want to be a God among men Kappa? Fuck the word of man into my throat then." Y/n's words made him look down as she held his eye contact while she took him into her throat deeply. He let his jaw slack as she drooled all over his cock, sucking and gargling on his thick cock. She let used her hands to stroke the length she couldn't fit into her mouth and massage his balls.
"Fuck...your throat is sinful." He brought his hands to his face and tried pushing his hair out of his eyes. He wanted to see Y/n take him down. He wanted to see her sacrifice air for his pleasure. He held the sides of her head and fucked into her throat harshly, feeling her moan at the contact of the tip hitting the back of her throat roughly.
His moans and the sound of the fire behind him were the only sounds that could be heard for miles.
"I'm going to cum and I want you to swallow every last drop. I want you to taste something machines could never produce. I want you to feel my cum in your belly tonight when you sleep and know that a little piece of me lives inside of you forever." Kappa whined as he yanked on the top of her hair so she would stare into his eyes, tears rolling down her flushed cheeks. He held her gaze as he released into her throat, watching her eyes roll into the back of her head as she swallow around him. When he softened, she slowly pulled back, letting his cock fall semi-limp against his thigh. She leaned back trying to catch her breath but instead of allowing that he yanked her to her feet by her shoulders and kissed her.
He could taste himself on her tongue and she gripped his greasy hair between her fingers tightly as she kissed back. When she pulled away, he wiped the tear streaks off her face carefully and leaned his forehead against hers.
"Don't leave...ever." Kappa's tone sounded like a plea rather than a demand and Y/n smiled. This was only the beginning.

For various reasons, I've been spending a lot of time the past few days pondering the purpose, the aims, the point of storytelling, especially of fictional storytelling. In a world with so much reality demanding our attention, fiction needs to have a purpose, to have some role in bringing about our salvation.
And then someone sent me the link to a Catechism in a Year episode about engaging in public life where Father Mike just happens to give an explanation that addresses a lot of the issues I was thinking about.
I think that there's such a need for us to be able to tell those stories that don't just describe the way forward but they paint the way forward, right? They wouldn't just say, "Here's what you need to do next." They show pictures. They show, they reveal stories of, like, "Here's what it is to live justice. Here's what it is to be honest in this world. Here's what it is to be brave or courageous. Here's what it is to choose others before yourself. Here's what it is to lay down your life." And we get those stories in the Gospel. And that's one of the reasons why I think it's so important and so necessary for us to fill our minds with our Biblical stories so that we can shape our lens and see this world, as incumbent upon us, any of us who have any kind of authority over anyone, to tell those stories that say, "This is a good way to live. This is the best way to live. This is the wrong way to live. And this is a great way to live." And I think that's what all of us are called to do when it comes to participating in our community, participating in advancing the common good.
Anyway, I think that's what we're doing when we're writing stories from a Christian worldview. We're using stories to show those truths. Not using it as a soapbox to preach, but using those stories to explore questions and show truths about life in a way that mere preaching can't do. Engaging not just the mind, but the imagination and the heart. Providing examples of problems and showing how people like us face them and solve them or deal with the fallout from failing to solve them.
I'm not saying that authors have to shove in some greater message or purpose to their stories. Stories don't have to--and shouldn't just-- be puppet plays where every character has a role in a parable to teach some abstract concept. But I'm saying that a lot of times, that message will be there naturally--the way the story turns out says a lot about how the author thinks the world works.
And those stories will shape our internal life, and can have an effect on how we view the real world and how we act within it. Showing a character who acts courageously can give us strength to act courageously. Showing us a weak, cowardly character can remind us that we don't want to be like that guy. And so on and so forth. Seeing the characters live out a story can remind us that we have a role to play in the great story of human history, and can shape our approach to that role.
Stories are powerful, and we have to use that power wisely.

Doubt No More
Commentary by Dionivie Tacder
Today’s Verse: In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, - Genesis 1:1
Have you experienced doubting the existence of God after you became a Christian? My honest answer to this question is yes. There have been quite a few times that I have had doubts because of trials and challenges that seem to be insoluble. There had been times also when the enemy whispered lies to me. But as I pondered upon the Word of God, the source of truth, I regained my faith, and I doubted no more. This verse is the frontline of God’s Word. If we receive this statement as the total truth it is, then we can have peace of mind knowing that the God we believe in is real and mighty in power. He created new things out of nothing. All we need to do is take a look at our surroundings, you will see evidence of a supreme creator, the galaxy, universe, solar system, and the living things found on the planet we live in. The Bible affirms it to be true. Open your hearts to this truth and don’t give the enemy a chance to deceive you. -
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word that continues to battle against the lies of Satan, and for affirming them through the work of the Holy Spirit. I renounce my unbelief. I declare my unwavering faith in You. Please help me to experience Your blessings and to never doubt You. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen!

A Post Christian Sunday Reflection
// volume 18
I think it’s time to explore the very real possibility that people in Biblical times were stupid.
In this week’s gospel, we hear the story of Jesus telling a woman at a well in a Samaritan town that whoever drinks the water he provides “will never thirst”. After an alarmingly small amount of convincing, the woman believed, and she went to tell the whole town about it and they, too, believed. 
I must firstly wonder how small these towns were that shit got around that quickly. Very small, I’m guessing. Secondly, I understand that it was a different time. Not fifty years ago, people were totally chill with letting pregnant women chain smoke. I can’t imagine what kind of stuff they believed in Jesus’ day. 
Maybe I’m just already inclined to not believe what random men tell me in public, but if I were that woman at the well I would have ignored Jesus and kept trying to find my water, and maybe also taken a bath. I’m not sure they did that very much then. But as I read some of these gospels, I can’t help but ponder the idea that Jesus and his impact got by on the ignorance of the common person. I think the odds are good that he was just really, really charismatic, and sealed the deal with all those miracles. There’s a reason he’s a prophet in other faiths. 
I still trust Jesus was a good guy, assuming he’s real and not just an overwrought, male-written allegory for love and self-denial. But it strikes me every time I hear this kind of gospel how desperate people back then were for something to believe in. And it’s striking me now that, for all our social developments and access to new information, people are still that way. But I suppose that’s not a bad thing - to be thirsty for something greater.

Captions - John 12v20-33:- Jesus appreciated the Greek customers. Unless... John 12v20-33:- Jesus appreciated the Greek customers. Unless you bury your tribal "Ego", you cannot enter into the Royal Kingdom of God Above of the Sadhus. https://youtu.be/Gbrl71DZ2A8 Hello, I am Mr. R Nijjhar, a retired lecturer in Metallurgy. I am a scientist who had been not to a University or College to study the dead letters of the Old and the New Testaments and get drunk with the Old Wine desiring not the New. Let the dead bury their dead. The Gospel Truth is for the living in the holy spirit, which is “common sense” called “Surti” in Punjabi. I am a New Skin capable of holding the New Wine Brewed through logical reasoning called “Intuition” and you are taught by God Himself if you are totally “Impartial” like a little child. Holy Gospel of our SUPERNATURAL FATHER of our “souls” Elohim, Allah, ParBrahm, etc., delivered by the first Anointed Christ, which in Punjabi we call Satguru Jesus of the highest living God Elohim that dwells within His most beautiful living Temple of God created by the greatest artist demiurge potter, the lord of the Nature Yahweh, Brahma, Khudah, etc. and it is called Harmandir or “Emmanuel” if you are not “greedy” according to Saint John 12,20-33. Now there were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the feast. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir with Great Honour, we would like to see Jesus." That is, all the Labourers, twice-born Talmidim, were so well trained in Preaching the Gospel that they didn’t know who is the Real Christ Jesus. Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be honoured and not glorified. We glorify our Supernatural Father Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc. with Whose grace we are known to Christ Jesus. No Christ, the Innerman, in your own heart, you cannot know Christ Jesus. That is, Christ is known to the Christs and not the Christians of the forbidden Jewish Leaven, the Bible. Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat, tribal son of Man, falls to the ground, buries his tribal “Ego” and dies, turns into the Plant to bear the Fruit, it remains just a grain of wheat in “Ego” as the Jewish people were very proud of being the Chosen People or the sons of the Noble Abraham. Still, if it dies in “Ego” and living in the Holy Spirit, Saint as James, the Just was stressing that in God, there is neither a Jew or Gentile but all are equal Sons of Elohim, the Saint Melchizedek, a Sadhu that have no tribal identity. They are the “Mustard Seed”, that produces much fruit like the Anointed “Mustard Seed”, the Second Adam, Christ Jesus. Whoever loves his tribal life in “Ego”, loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world, becomes most humble by burying his tribal ego of the “seed” or becomes most humble in the holy spirit turning his other cheek will preserve it for eternal life or Resurrection as demonstrated by the poor Lazarus against the haughty rich man who lost his life or chances of earning the Resurrection. Whoever serves me by joining Hands with me on a Fellowship basis, must do the Will of my Father Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc. and not follow me as the spiritually blind follow others as they follow the Antichrist Pope, and where I am in the Royal Kingdom of God that has a low for humble and Narrow for the solitary Gate, there also will my Brethren and NOT servant, corruption by the Messianic Jews, the Husbandmen of the Winepress, the Temple, the Thieves who jumped over the Wall of the Mammon-Free Church of God for the Royal Priests to ponder over His Word on a Fellowship Basis. Here is the corruption “served” by, be. The Father will honour whoever serves Him on the Round Table Fellowship with our Bridegroom Christ Jesus sitting among us and not me, a corruption." I am troubled now that mine own have rejected me. Yet what should I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour that someone appreciates what I do to Glorify my Father. Father, We, Your Sons, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have honoured my faithful Sons who have glorified Me and I will honour and not glorify, them again." The crowd there heard it and said it was thunder; but others said, "An Angel has spoken to Him." Jesus answered and said, "This Voice did not come for my sake but for yours who are keen to know my Father. Now, this Dark Age in which everyone is Taught by God and God takes account of everybody, is the time of judgment by God and not the crook Rabbis as they used to judge the people when, they were honest and not greedy, on this world; now the ruler of this world, the crook Rabbis and Brahmins will be driven out of the Way of God. And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself as the Bridegroom who will look after His Vigin Solitary Brides, the Saints." He said this indicating the kind of death that He, the “Royal King Of Righte

What is Prayer? Why do we do it?
Prayer is communication between man and God, a two-way relationship in which man should not only talk to God but also listen to Him.  Just as we cannot hold a conversation with another person unless he can hear us, the very act of praying is an implicit recognition of the presence of God here with us. And in praying, we strengthen that recognition of the presence of God, which draws us closer to Him. That is why the Church recommends that we pray frequently and make prayer an important part of our daily lives. For the unbeliever, a prayer is a cry to know and have a relationship with the Living God. It is precious and sacred. Repentance and acknowledgment of Christ as Lord leads to walking in joy and fellowship with the One who made us (Romans 10:9-10). 
Another helpful way of understanding prayer comes from the Jesuit theologian Walter Burghardt, who once expressed contemplation/prayer as “taking a long, loving look at the real.” Let’s break this definition down into parts. First, prayer begins with taking a long look. It’s looking at reality like slow-motion cameras at a sporting event. We get the chance to slow down and to take a closer look, which may reveal to us things we might have otherwise missed in our fast-paced lives. Second, prayer is also a long, loving look. When I reflect on reality, do I look with harsh, judgmental eyes, or with the loving, tender, and merciful eyes of God? Lastly, in prayer we look lovingly at the real: the reality of my life and the world. We start with reality because God does so through the Incarnation. God undertakes the work of salvation not by fleeing human reality, but by entering into it. In the ultimate act of solidarity, God became one of us in the person of Jesus. And Jesus experienced all that reality encompasses: from joy and laughter to suffering and death. So we know that God can hold the messiness of our reality and of our world. God can handle whatever we express in prayer. Because love holds all things.
There are many promises in God’s Word to encourage us to pray, such as: “He shall call upon me and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him” (Psalm 91:15); “And it shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear” (Isaiah 65:24); “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7). The Scriptures tell us that we are to pray for one another and also assure us that God hears and answers prayer.  
The Bible provides many examples of prayer and how to pray. These examples show ordinary men and women laying their hearts before God, seeking Him in humility and praise. The following are several prayers we can ponder today.
The apostle Paul exhorted his readers to “not be anxious but pray about everything” (Philippians 4:6). He also prayed that unbelievers would come to a saving knowledge of Christ (Romans 10:1). In fierce opposition, Peter and John prayed for courage to share the Gospel (Acts 4:29) and that God would perform wonders to glorify His Name (Acts 4:30).
The early church prayed over each other for healing (James 5:14-15) and the release of those in prison (Acts 12:5). They asked God for wisdom and discernment to carry out their work for the Lord (James 1:5, Philippians 1:9-10). The early church The early church also prayed to know the will of the God they served (Colossians 1:9) and for the ability to grasp the depth of their Savior’s love (Ephesians 3:17-19).
Mary prayed in awe and wondered over the news that she bear the Son of God The beauty and humility of her opening words still bring joy to our hearts today. “And Mary said: ‘My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant’” (Luke 1:46-48).
The last prayer of the Bible is short but filled with power and anticipation. The apostle John, confined to the Island of Patmos, penned these brief but hope-filled words. “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” (Revelation 22:20).
We pray to align our hearts with God and to seek His guidance in the moments of our days. We find wonderful examples of this in scripture—from Abraham to David to the prophets—but one of the most powerful examples is in King Hezekiah’s life.
King Hezekiah, a God-fearing King, ruled the Southern Kingdom of Judah after the horrific reign of King Ahaz. A tribute to Hezekiah’s depth of character is found in 2 Kings 18:5. “Hezekiah trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel. No one was like him among all the kings of Judah, either before or after him.”
After the evil of Ahaz, Hezekiah was a tremendous blessing to the people of Judah. He moved to destroy idol worship, removed the high places that distracted the people from Jerusalem, and even broke the bronze snake of Moses’ day because the people burned incense in its honor (2 Kings 18:3-4).
However, amid the good he was doing, Hezekiah was under intense scrutiny and pressure from the evil leader of Assyria, Sennacherib. The Assyrian King repeatedly sent delegations to mock and taunt the nation of Judah, telling the people not to be comforted or fooled by their leader, Hezekiah, because the destruction of their nation was assured. The mighty Assyrians had conquered every other nation around them—why not Judah (2 Kings 18:31-35)?
At one point, as the Assyrian delegation mocked Hezekiah’s commitment to God, they left their threats in a letter. The significance of Hezekiah’s response to this evil threat is life-changing. “Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it. Then he went up to the temple of the LORD and spread it out before the LORD” (2 Kings 19:14).
As Christ-followers who long to seek God’s heart in all things, we mustn’t miss the magnitude of King Hezekiah’s actions. He took the letter—filled with terrifying details of certain destruction—and spread it out before the Lord.
Scripture doesn’t say this good king reread the letter and agonized over every word. He didn’t call endless meetings with his officials to discuss the horrifying details.
He read the letter. He went to the temple of God and placed the letter before the Source of all hope and deliverance. God heard his prayer, and the Kingdom of Judah was spared from the attack of the Assyrians (2 Kings 19:20-34).
Oh, how I love that God moved through the writers of scripture to record this hope-filled story for us today. And what a powerful, visual example of taking our fears and anxiety to our Heavenly Father.
We will face our own “Assyrian Army” on our earthly journey. This may include sickness, grief, job loss, heartache, betrayal, etc. But we can take it all to the One Who created us and knows us to our very depths.
Now read King Hezekiah’s amazing prayer in 2 Kings 19:15-19
"And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord: "Lord, the God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.  Give ear, Lord, and hear; open your eyes, Lord, and see; listen to the words Sennacherib has sent to ridicule the living God.  "It is true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have laid waste these nations and their lands.  They have thrown their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods but only wood and stone, fashioned by human hands.  Now, Lord our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone, Lord, are God."
As followers of Jesus, we are called to devote time to prayer and meditation over His Word. Reading the inspired Word of God and praying as we read is a treasured gift from our Creator. God promises peace to those who keep their minds on Him (Isaiah 26:3). Oh, to linger in quiet moments with Him! 
But there is a type of meditation in our unbelieving world that we should avoid because of its emptiness and potential dangers. Any practice that directs us to clear or empty our minds is suspect because we are called to fill our hearts and minds with God’s promises and precepts (Psalms 1:2). If our minds are “emptied,” as the world suggests, there is a potential danger for the intake and acceptance of thoughts and philosophies contrary to God’s Word.
Additional verses about godly prayer and meditation include Philippians 4:8, Psalm 19:14, Psalm 63:6, Psalm 104:34, and Psalm 119:15.
We learn vital aspects of prayer by following Jesus’ example in His years of ministry on this earth. From scripture, we know that Jesus prayed alone (Luke 5:16), He prayed with others (Luke 9:28), and He prayed for others (Matthew 19:30).
In Jesus’ earliest teachings on prayer, He begins by urging His disciples to pray with humility, not to be seen and admired. Matthew 6:5 reads, “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.” And in Matthew 6:7, Jesus focused on praying with humble simplicity, not with endless words and phrases. From there, He moves to the beloved model of prayer still recited around the world today, what we call, The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13). What a moment this must have been for Jesus’ disciples. To learn about prayer from the Author of their faith! 
In John 17, knowing His time of death was near, Jesus went to His Father in prayer. He prayed that the Father would be glorified through what was to come (John 17:1-5). He prayed for His disciples, that they would be protected and sanctified (John 17:6-18). And then, in a breathtaking moment of love and compassion, Jesus prayed for us. John 17:20-21 reads, “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” And in the Garden of Gethsemane, before laying down His life for the redemption of sinners, Jesus lay His deepening sorrow before the Father. Three times He asked that, if possible, the path before Him could be changed (Matthew 26:39-44). But ultimately, for the joy set before Him (Hebrews 12:2), He surrendered to the will of God. “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done” (Matthew 26:42). 
Even on the cross, Jesus prayed. He cried out to His Father seeking forgiveness for His persecutors (Luke 23:34), to express agony over the temporary separation from His Father (Matthew 27:46), and to breathe His last words as He laid down His life for us all (Luke 23:46).
What is prayer? Prayer is a priceless gift from a loving Father to His children. What a joy to walk each moment in close, sacred fellowship with our Creator. “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3).
Prayer is a treasured privilege and mainstay for those who belong to God through the saving work of Jesus’ death and resurrection. The gift of communing with our Creator—child to Father—is the anchor and cornerstone of our life’s journey. 
"Prayer is communication with God. It is not only talking to God, but it is listening to God. And we are to pray, first and foremost, because we are commanded to pray. It is an act of obedience. I may not always understand the process of prayer or the behind-the-scenes work of prayer, but God wants me to depend upon him and to ask him for those things that are needed most in life. Yes, God is going to give us good things. He's going to provide for us. But it's clear in scripture that we have not because we ask not. And they're just too many scriptures that tell us that we're to pray. And if we don't pray, we limit what God will choose to do in our lives. It is the process. And every time God answers prayer, it strengthens our faith. Every time we get an answer and God delivers in his own way, in his own time, we develop as disciples in Christ. So of all the things Jesus taught, he was a great preacher and communicator, obviously, but when the disciples came to him, they didn't say, 'Lord, teach us to preach.' They said, 'Lord, teach us to pray.' There was something about the prayer life of Jesus that was so powerful, so persuasive that these men wanted to know how do we pray like that. And so getting in touch with God, knowing God, growing in our faith, getting the things that we need, all of this comes from the hand of God. I believe in prayer, and not just the idea of prayer, but I believe God really answers prayer." - Dr. Jack Graham, PowerPoint Ministries

Dreams Versus Oh My Dreams

A ballad to the fear of Sam-Amina
I’ve seen visages of past known souls glowering at me while I’m sleeping. I fail to clock a nightmare sometimes till I’m awakened,
Pondering the living hurt that is a look of indifference from one I love so. This realm betrays reality but imagination also.
Does not my hope as well?
All is well as Israel (As) glimpses the countenance of Allah - The unsetting one - From this unsettling world.
A tale he goes on to live to tell.
That’s incredible!
His hips popped socket embodies an eternal triumph.
His kids sing of that great lap of victory, A champion whose limping remains a point of pride among the whole family to this very day.
Morning spilling in through a window dispels the darkness I felt in some business lecture held in a memorial center approximation I know is not real.
R.E.M fantasies are welcome ice breakers sailing through waves of mundanity in my life.
Patience prepares us for an eternity which lies ceaselessly ahead of all people. Each one facing what is at once a threat & a promise.
The chasm that is the difference between my aspirations I indulge in during flashes of mercy wherein my heads laid peacefully on a green silken pillowcase and what I’m given in the places I dream & dwell.
I know what I’d ask Almighty for.
Do you? Stay grateful.
Gospel preaches He is in me, I in He, do you not then believe?
Perhaps I’ve achieved the greatest deed and smiled back at Peniel. Maybe I’m a winner whose comprehension now fails.

My Top Albums/EPs of 2023
It's that time.
Tumblr media
It's a tradition of mine to post my end-of-the-year music list. I used to get music questions + recommendations all the time. This goes back to the days of the Hypster Music Player we used to have on our pages (remember those lol) before the DMCA roll out.
As a heads up, I'm a violinist with a BFA in Music and Audio Production. I'm a timbre listener first 🤷🏽‍♀️. No surprise there. Some people listen to music for the lyrics first, melody first, a catchy hook first, etc. I'm a tone color and texture person as it relates to vocality, instrumentation, and the arrangement/combination of frequencies altogether. (For more on that and how you can confirm/discover what kind of listener you are, this book, which I reviewed, is a go-to.)
Here's my list of albums you may know and some that'll be your first introduction. I had a number of honorable mentions, but this is already long enough 🙃 lol. Enjoy!

Metaphysical exercise
There's a lot of terrible things in the world. It seems we must cultivate a good moral character. I say this with some regret, because this means I am not writing a metaphysical scholium. Still, we might be able to return to metaphysics through analyzing what tells us to behave in a certain way.
In the world there is activity and passivity. Good conduct requires a degree of passivity. If we take it easy, there is nothing that doesn't lie in our grasp. Nevertheless, we see that spreading the gospel of non-action is not helping people. We can go very far in helping people, and the gentleman knows that a world that has no content is much more easy to understand, much more comforting, than a world filled with power-politics and responsibility. But we see that even the most enlightened Buddha cannot remain free if he doesn't practice virtue. The greatest men were those who were in total control of their emotions. The man who conquers himself is truly enlightened.
In this short scholium, we see that the forces of yin and yang are very prominent in our world. The yin and yang powers tell us that we should focus on both the inner and the outer, the subtle and the factual, so that we may grow a meaningful world out of the myriad influences that shape our immediate thought. The wise man therefore cultivates an independent mind, so that he can balance the myriad forces.
But these are all passed stations. I have discovered all these things yesterday. Still, I am occupied.
It seems the teaching of metaphysics is just a part of the job of a metaphysicist. Fact is, I can't pretend that I can teach. I am just doing something. The core of the metaphysicist's vocation is to do research. However, at the same time, we might say that he doesn't need to do any research, he can just spout inspired nonsense right out of his hand. And maybe that's a good idea. The area of research is very limited. I can't just keep talking about yin and yang and keep saying the world doesn't exist. Fact is, I know awfully little about the world. I just don't know what would make me a metaphysicist if I just started spouting inspired nonsense. Write in slogans. That would be terrific, but also confusing.
So let's try research for just a while longer. I don't know. I don't know if there's anything to discover. I can also just say: water. Nous. The essence of the world is nous. Being alive means being in water. Thinking water is the liberation of the nous. Things are real because we believe in them. Redistribution of nous is water. Water is obscure in the last analysis. Everybody needs automatic necessity. The nous is automaticity in motion.
See what I mean? It doesn't make sense. But then, nothing makes sense, so I guess it is not that strange. Still, I don't really know what makes me a metaphysicist this way. I'd like to feel like I am communicating. I'd like to feel that I am making a difference. I suppose writing is a big part of metaphysics: how to write. It's a big question. But the thing is, I am working. That's all that matters. All day long we are being torn from side to side by crazy factors. And this - metaphysics - is the only constant thing.
You know, the unfair thing is that yesterday I thought so many things, and I really thought I was like building a stockpile of thoughts that I could ponder in a more quiet moment. But I have forgotten them all and now I got nothing to think again. I ain't rational anymore. You know, frankly I don't even know what to do. You can ponder metaphysics but nobody needs to know that stuff. You can read history but that grows tiresome after a while. There ain't no point studying history.
I think it was yesterday that I wrote a mini-essay on the chaotic world. It was so tiring! So that's kind of when I realized I needed to focus more on hardcore metaphysics, but you know metaphysics is not useful.
As that song says: my conversation has run dry. I am a philosopher but I don't know how to live. I have pondered all the major religions, but have found most comfort with the Eastern ones. Nonetheless, I still really like stoicism. I also really like Western philosophy in general.
When I am writing like this I don't want to stop because as long as I keep going there might be a chance I figure something out. Also, when I stop I don't know what to do with all my thoughts anymore. It's always nice to immortalize them immediately. I suppose I forget most of what I think up.
I think I really just want to know how to write. I kinda got a writer's block I suppose. Usually I just start something at random. The world doesn't need more metaphysics. I wish I could just keep them in my head but it needs to come out. Not really, but it gets the juices flowing to be writing it out.
Who am I kidding, I know how to write. Write in slogans! It's not so bad. Here we may introduce a new concept: acclimatization. When I write in slogans, I use acclimatization to create a readable text. A writer must write something worth reading. Now it has been said that a book is just a machine, meant to create new pathways in the brain. But a book is a piece of history! I am only saying this to temper the whackiness of Deleuzian excogitations. You know, I have been incredibly influenced by Deleuze, I get that guy, but I think it is a recipe for madness if you go too far in it. But that also goes for the Zhuangzi. It goes for everything. Heck, you can't even be too anti-hegelian, no matter how attractive that may seem. Everything in moderation. It's a nice thing to say, right? Safe. Chilon of Sparta said it. He said many other things that seem less safe, but they are probably quite safe. For example, he said: speak no ill of the dead. Now that's something we always do, right? It seems almost wrong to do so.
Man, I love to write. I just hate it that the only thing I can think of when I am writing is the Deleuzian thing. It conquers my mind like a plague. What else is there when it comes to writing? Well, there's "just writing", which is bad. There's "writing from history" which is a recipe for disaster. There is what I did here today, writing from a change, which kind of works, but I don't know, it doesn't seem foolproof. But the Deleuzian thing isn't foolproof either. All in moderation I suppose...
The creative outlet works in flows. When we see the pure flow, powers change. The ideosyncratic power of flow is the future. The essence of power is the future, too. Things occur naturally, and we go forth from freedom, in power. The power is flowing naturally, like a river. A river of change is redirected, and necessary; which means everything happens in the grand scheme of things, and the power is harnessed by creative enterprises that go nowhere: this is true power.
I wish I knew something about the world, but I don't. Yin and yang demand the flow of real directions in the entirety of the universe, and this gives us leeway. Writing is a bit like poker. There's just a handful of principles you need to grasp, but once you get them, you realize it's all about thinking. There's no point fighting against the principles, you need them to hold your own in the vast flow of the game. You know, I think a lot. You end up thinking on all levels, and thinking is never bad, I suppose, but it can paralyze you I suppose, and that's a problem. Maybe thinking is bad, but I enjoy it, I am a thinking man. It's a heavy burden, but also a great benefit.

Holy Week Made Present Today
Gospel passage for Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion (Year A): The very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road. The crowds preceding him and those following kept crying out and saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest.” Matthew 21:8–9
Prayer: My saving Lord, You entered this week of Your Passion with courage and determination. You freely chose to embrace every suffering and every humiliation You would endure so that You could enter my life more fully. Please be present to me throughout this week and help me to not only ponder this mystery of Your love but to also encounter that love in a real and transforming way. Jesus, I trust in You.

💕• @streetcredyoga “ so we need the Scriptures as God inspired an errant and infallible revelation of himself. Without the Bible, we will soon lose the genuine gospel, and the real Jesus, and the true God. For now, if we are to saturate our lives with the words of life, we must be people of the book. Which is no necessary prescription to every Christian for the same particular habits. But it is a summons to the principle of soaking our lives in the voice of God and I diversifying the portfolio of access points. Before pondering the many and wonderful habits of grace, that might be best for you in your context and season of life, put this rock in place: fashion, rhythms of life that help you revolve around having God’s incarnate Word, by God’s gospel word, through God’s written word.” -David Mathis #habitsofgrace #yogafaithbystreetcred #yogafaithyin #bibleliteracy #yogafaith (at YOGA FAITH) https://www.instagram.com/p/CosEUzPL8eR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

End-Times Kingdom: Understand the Hour of Jesus’ Coming
A vital part of healthy Kingdom thinking is having a clear and proper understanding of what Scripture says concerning the return of Christ and other apocalyptic themes.
This is important because as Kingdom citizens we have a critical role in preparing for Christ’s return. There is a lot of confusion and misinformation in the church on the issue of the end times. We have a responsibility to be well informed, based on what the Word of God actually says, and we must avoid at all cost the speculations and interpretations of today’s prophecy teachers.
One day Jesus’ disciples put to Him a question that people throughout the ages have pondered:
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?” Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of Me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (Matt. 24:3-14).
When Will The End Come?
This question seems to interest everyone, believers and nonbelievers alike. This passage from chapter 24 of the Gospel of Matthew is one of the favorite scriptures for those who are seeking information on the end times. It speaks of wars and rumors of wars, famine, earthquakes, false prophets, tribulation, hardship, and the increase of evil in the earth. Many preachers and teachers cite these events and point to current-day examples, and then proclaim, “The end is near! Do you see all these things happening around us?”
We need to be cautious and discerning when it comes to prophecies such as these and the people who proclaim them. Our generation is not unique; prophecy teachers have been around for centuries. Many of them are legitimate and are careful students of the Scriptures, but many others study the Word of God just enough to be frightening. They see “signs of the times” in every event, large or small. You hear them say: “Do you remember that earthquake in India? That means Christ is returning soon!” “The Lord said there would be pestilence and epidemics in the last days. With the scourge of AIDS spreading to so many people around the world, we know that Jesus’ return is just around the corner.”
What these teachers often fail to mention and many believers fail to see are Jesus’ cautionary words in these verses. He says there will be “wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.” Famines and earthquakes are merely “the beginning of birth pains.”
The real key to understanding the timing of the return of Christ and the end of all things is verse 14:
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come (Matt. 24:14).

The sign of the end of the age will be this: the preaching of the gospel of the Kingdom throughout the world. This verse reveals the timing of Jesus’ return, but not the hour. It is quite clear that the “hour” is known only by the Father. Jesus Himself said, “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Matt. 24:36). The end will come when the gospel of the Kingdom is preached “in the whole world as a testimony to all nations.” The Greek word ethnos (nations) refers to every people group, every culture, every race, every tribe, every tongue, every political system, and every national state. After the gospel of the Kingdom is preached to all of these, then the end will come.
Who will do this? The answer cuts to the very heart of our dominion mandate. It is we, the believers and followers of Christ and the citizens of God’s Kingdom, who bear the responsibility of proclaiming the gospel to the world. That is the commission that Jesus charged us with when He commanded, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matt. 28:19-20a). When will Jesus return and the end come? When our commission is fulfilled. The specific hour of His return is in God’s hands, but the general timing of it is in ours.
It is sad that we have spent so much time speculating on the hour of the return and so very little time on fulfilling the real sign that will usher in His return.
A Kingdom Key—Preach The Gospel of the Kingdom
If Jesus has not yet returned, it is because our commission to preach the gospel and make disciples in all the world has not yet been fulfilled. How many churches today are actively and conscientiously preaching the gospel of the Kingdom? They preach prosperity, they preach healing, they preach faith, they preach deliverance, they preach tongues, but how many preach the Kingdom of God? Not just any message will do. These are all legitimate themes but they are secondary when compared to the proclamation of the message of the Kingdom. Jesus will return only when the message of the Kingdom has been proclaimed in all the earth, and that proclamation is the Church’s responsibility.
Generally speaking, the Church as a whole has fallen down on this responsibility. All we have to do is look around us to know this is true. Why do we have so many Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Shintoists, Scientologists, animists, atheists, and all of the other “ists” futilely searching for God? Why are there so many people who go through life with little or no knowledge of His Kingdom and what it can mean to them? It’s because the Church hasn’t done its job.
God knows what every person on earth needs and is looking for, even when we do not. The possibility of their salvation is contained in the Kingdom message. Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus focused on preaching and teaching about the Kingdom:
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field” (Matt. 9:35-38).
Where are the Workers?
Jesus said that the harvest is plentiful. There is an abundant crop ripe and ready for the harvester’s sickle. He was surrounded and followed everywhere by crowds of people who were “harassed and helpless,” people who were wandering without hope or direction, people who were ripe for picking.
What was true in Jesus’ day 2,000 years ago is still true in our day. Our world is filled with people searching for the truth, yearning for God, and stumbling in a gloom of spiritual darkness. There is nothing “wrong” with these people; they are still ripe for the picking. Whether they realize it or not, people want to get picked. Everyone wants to know that life has meaning and purpose and that they have a heavenly Father who loves and cares for them. We don’t have to “ripen” a Buddhist or a Hindu or a Muslim or anyone else for the harvest. They are already ripe, and have been for 2,000 years.
The problem lies not with the readiness of the harvest, but with the availability of harvesters. When Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few,” He was talking not only about quantity of workers, but quality of workers as well. A twofold problem exists: many believers who should be working in the harvest field are not, and many of those who are working are not doing a very good job. The entire world is ripe for the Kingdom of God, but we who are the citizens and representatives of that Kingdom are failing in our responsibility to bring in the harvest.
He appointed twelve…that they might be with Him, and that He might send them out to preach (Mark 3:14).
There is a time to sit at the feet of Jesus and enjoy His presence but there is also a time when we are sent out to preach this gospel of the Kingdom. Now is that time.
Many people who come into the Church get saved because they want “fire insurance.” They want to make sure they don’t go to hell. That’s why we see so many backsliders, or spiritual dropouts. Someone gets afraid of the fire and comes to a meeting where a preacher tells him how to avoid hell by turning to Christ. Out of fear he runs to the front of the church, confesses his sins, accepts Jesus, gets his fire insurance policy, and calls it “salvation.” After a couple of months he eventually becomes bored, frustrated, and depressed with this new “religion” thing and ends up going back into the world. Why? Because the world promises the very thing he expected to find in the Church but what the Church failed to deliver: power for living. The Kingdom of God is all about power, but many believers and others miss it because few churches truly teach it.
All of us want power in our lives. We all like to be in control. That is why we resist people’s attempt to dominate us. It is why we hate to owe people money, because whoever we are indebted to controls us. We are looking for the power to control our circumstances. Humanity’s quest for power is what makes the message of the Kingdom so appealing. The Kingdom of God represents power.
During His earthly ministry, thousands of people from all walks of life were attracted to Jesus—drawn to Him—because everything about Him spoke “power.” He demonstrated power over sickness, power over nature, power over death, and power over sin. Everyone came to Him— rich, poor, it did not matter—because they felt powerless in their circum- stances. Each one, in his or her own way, was looking for the Kingdom.

A Holy Legacy w Dr. Larry Lyons - feat. Cancel Culture Club Pt 2
Doctor Larry is back talking about how parasocial relationships impact our daily lives, collective illusions compiling our shared reality, and some other stuff like family, working in entertainment and marketing, and relationality. This is the 1st half of the conversation from Dr. Larry Lyons - feat. Cancel Culture Club Pt 1.
We talk about Larry’s nephew Camden Coley (Karma’s World, Abbot Elementary, Mike) and the vibrancy of Black boy joy. We talk about the monetization of love and relationality, how our presence on the Internet results in our unwitting consent to toxic cultural developments, and get GRANULAR about what parasociety even is.
What does it mean to have fans?
What does it mean to force love and loyalty from a commercial market?
Are there actually barriers encasing our socioeconomic roles?
WTF is a demi lovato and why is Shift mad about that? Shift gives more details about the non-denominational fundamentalist evangelical performing arts cult he traveled across the U.S. with as a teenager in the late 90s-early 2000s, and describes how he discovered (in 2021) what the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato even are and that, as teenagers, they all directly and literally made millions of dollars by directly and literally causing abuse against Shift and the other kids in the cult to escalate to inhumane levels. Shift lays out similarities in evangelical fundamentalism and Hollywood, marketing and evangelism, and both sides of “parasocial” bonding.
Shift talks about our real world programming, dealing with people who accidentally virtue signal and warp their praxis into unraveling, and glory of discovering the gospel of Anne Heche (aka Celeste) in the wake of her sudden, tragic death.
Larry comments on the power of fits and fists in the comments’ sections and IRL, ponders the architecture of the ecosystems that divide people from experiencing life outside of their class' status expectations, and details people insisting upon keeping social traditions they know don’t work. 
Oh, how glorious that brands and companies have effectively strived to exploit our most intimate vulnerabilities. Oh, how everybody has to deal with the impact of public relations whether they know it or not.
Liars and Grifters and Fakes? Oh, my!! 
Always remember to never forget... follow, like, and rate us everywhere you listen!

Book Review: Emmanuel, by Ruth Chou Simons
Tumblr media
Is Christ welcome in your world? Is there room in your heart for him? In Emmanuel, Ruth Chou Simons shares an invitation to prepare him room at Christmas and always.
With over 230 pages, this book truly takes you on a journey. The book is divided into 4 weeks: (1) Our posture, (2) God’s promise, (3) our response, and (4) our Messiah.
God Shapes Our Hearts
From the start, I was surprised at how this book tackles real emotions. Worry, loneliness, stress, and jealousy are relatable experiences — and Simons shares how God can shape our hearts. While the devotional content is at the center of this book, Simons shares select scripture and quotes throughout — framed by her beautiful art.
Simons’ art is showcased in vibrant color vivid detail. With red and orange florals, you will feel holiday joy and as you experience her work. The hardback cover is stunning, and has a coffee-table quality. 
King and Lord
Simons writes with a warm tone. She is friendly and encouraging. Her devotions are rich in the gospel. She reminds us that Jesus is a gift, and we are called to respond. “The fulfilled promise of the birth of Christ doesn’t just cause us to celebrate during the holiday season; it compels us to respond with our entire lives.”
Ponder, praise, and prayer sections round out the devotional aspect of this book. It can be used for family devotions, and would make a great, personal gift to give to a friend or loved one. Towards the end, Simons focuses on the fact that Jesus is King and Lord. She asks what competes with our allegiance to him, and I was left wanting to dedicate my days to him. Not out of fear or guilt, but because of joy. Let every heart prepare him room!
I received a media copy of Emmanuel and this is my honest review. Find more of my book reviews and follow Dive In, Dig Deep on Instagram - my account dedicated to Bibles and books to see the beauty of the Bible and the role of reading in the Christian life.

Void and Metal Episode 1: The Deviant Prisoner
Examinor Tzomas Gauge stares out of the massive bow window of The Deviant, where he’s currently being held prisoner. He sees nothing, and Nothing sees him. He doesn’t feel like a prisoner. Doesn’t look like one. Isn’t treated like one either. Really, he’s only legally a prisoner, as the Neotholic Church-State recorded him as “Missing - Kidnapped: Pirates” several months ago. Now, the NCS is famous for their dedication to reclaiming lost members of their flock. As long as a kidnapped cleric had been in good standing, had above average credit, and could afford to pay the Church back for any necessary ransom or lost materials with money or service, then they had no reason to worry. The ransom would be paid.
As an Examinor, Gauge can meet all these conditions with ease. In fact - the Church-State is desperate for his return, and would probably waive the usual 2.5% ransom processing fee if he asked Xeryl in accounting nicely enough (and he always has). So, why then, is Gauge still on this pirate ship, floating seemingly without aim through the openness of space? He sips his Martian Coffee - still hot after sitting in the mug for hours - and ponders this himself.
“What in the fuck am I doing here?” And the words move out of his brain and onto his clerical collar. The red neon letters march across his neck, and he reads them backwards in the reflection of the window. His eyes focus on the reflection, on the Something over the Nothing, and he can see how little he’s aged in his months aboard this ship.
“Perhaps that’s why.” New words across his collar. That’ll have to be fixed. His mind is far too loose these days.
A knock at his door before it opens. The Quartermaster of the vessel - Holliand e’Bravo, peeks in cautiously.
“Uh, Father?”
Gauge takes another sip. The caffinoids buzz in his brain. Synthetic coffee is better than the “real” stuff, and he’d die on that wave if he had to.
The Quartermaster takes a step in and continues. After all, e’shouldn’t need permission. Gauge is’er prisoner, right?
“We’ve spotted a cargo ship. It’s got Earthmark. It should have an escort, but looks like they got separated. The crew and the captains would like to engage.”
Gauge sighs. These greedy pirates don’t know what’s good for them. Over his shoulder he quotes the Revolutionary Psalms.
“‘Our hold overflows and still we starve. We cannot eat gold. We must eat Mars.”
Holliad clears their throat in such a way as to indicate - “What in voidfuck does that mean?” Gauge understands, and finally turns around to face the Quartermaster and answer.
“You’ve taken three prizes on this Out already. I doubt you even have the room for whatever treasures may or may not be on that vessel. Why not get back to Mars as planned, and live to spend your riches?”
The Quartermaster pauses, even though e’knows exactly why. E’can only hope the gaunt, serious, religious man in front of’er will understand the answer.
“It’s coming from the Kam.”
And Gauge does understand. He quickly thanks God for such an expedient answer to his earlier question, and covers his collar to hide the thoughts. Holliand pretends not to see such blasphemy - even an Examinor could be hanged for that.
“Well, then. It’s not as though you need my permission, is it?”
“No…But, your blessing.”
Gauge laughs and tosses his mug to the side. The ship receives it before it can crash, quickly sanitizes it, and places it on the dash for tomorrow. The poor Ship expects routine, doesn’t quite understand what it’s used for or why. Gauge quotes his favorite book of the Bible: The New Gospel According to the New John, with his arms wide open in holy celebration.
“The Universe is your inheritance, human! Seize it, lest it waste away unexamined, and unused!”
The Quartermaster nods with excitement, and dashes back into the hallway to deliver the news: “The Prisoner agrees! The Prisoner has blessed the attack!” with only a tiny percentage of an idea of just how important this ship will be. Not just to the pirates of The Deviant, but to the future of the Known Universe.

The Gospel is for the people of Discerning Intellect like the Birds of t... The Gospel is for the people of Discerning Intellect like the Birds of the Air who do not read Books. They are rare; one in a thousand and two in ten thousand. https://youtu.be/QkCLIJT2GWo Saint Photina -John 4. Hi Brethren, I am a 90-year-old University retired Senior Lecturer in Metallurgy from Punjab, India where the Second Coming of Jesus in the name of Satguru = Christ Nanak took place in 1469. I Preach Christianity, Sikhism and Real Shariah-Free Islam of Allah, Noor called Inshallah and not this Satanic Islam of Mullahs, called Inshmullah full of the Sharia Laws. My views are not common but I can explain them in detail. Here are my views on the present situation:- The Gospel Truth you receive directly from God and not from any man. This Jesus demonstrated in the once-born Peter when he declared that you are the Messiah. People sold their possessions to enter the One Fold, the Church of God headed by our Elder Brother and Bridegroom Christ Jesus, and not these Churches in Mammon like the Church of England, a Synagogue of Satan, headed by King Charles in which the soldiers who died in the two world wars are proclaimed that they glorified God, for the Mammon-Free Royal Priests to ponder over His Word that cannot be written down in ink on paper for it is for the living in the holy spirit, which is common sense, as the Shepherds possessed and not the University Professors in Jerusalem dead in the letters of the law who hated the Light that would stifle their money churning efforts to become rich in Mammon and put on the silken clothes. Now, Prophet Elijah (My god is demiurge Yahweh, the Potter of male and female) John, the Baptist was the Cornerstone of the Temple of Yahweh, where Juda Iscariot threw his thirty Shackles. They bought a Potter's Field for that money, the hypocritical Temple Priests threw John, the Baptist out as they had killed a similar Prophet Zachariah in the Temple previously and the hypocrisy is exposed with His Word, the Light and they, "Saltless" people unfaithful to Abraham and Yahweh, the Tares – Matt 13v24-30 hated the Light Most and Christ Jesus went into the Temple to expose those hypocrites and they killed Him. Whilst the sinners killed John, the Baptist, Herod marrying the wife of Philips, etc. Much more in my article below Allah is NOOR and you cannot apply Sharia Laws that bind you on NOOR that sets you FREE. This Islam is not of Allah called INSHALLAH but of Mullahs called Inshmullah. Our Khokhar Jatt Chaudhry Saddam Hussein Khokhar Jatt was executed by the American Jews. JEWS THEMSELVES ARE ANTISEMITIC. www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/JAntisem.htm A Jew is spiritual of heart inwardly and not in the flesh outwardly. So a Jew is never born or dies but the tribal people of Judah, Levi, Benjamin, etc. led by their blind guides, the “sinners” died. Such sinners were killed by the tribal English and Germans in the Holocaust. Today, Matt 13v24-30 is getting fulfilled and the sons of Satan Al-Djmar Al-Aksa are being bundled up in Israel for the Final Burning. The Palestinians also cannot build their covenant with Abraham and so, the Tares will burn and kill each other. This planet Earth is for the habitation of 144000 tribal sons and not Jews, Hindus, Sikhs or Muslims. Watch my over 8800 YouTube Videos; channel One God One Faith. Atomic war is very near indeed. END TIME GOSPEL TRUTH – FREE LECTURES AND SEMINARS. www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/GistEndGospel.htm Other:- www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/Nobility.htm http://www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/tenlights.htm http://www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/JattIslam.htm Proofs of the Virgin Birth of Jesus: - www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/bojes.htm Super Hitler tribal Putin will destroy Blasphemer USA and the West as the German Hitler killed the unfaithful to Abraham and Yahweh sinner Jews outwardly. https://youtu.be/FQ9TyEEZcDQ There were no WMD in Iraq and these Blasphemer USA and Western nations destroyed his peaceful country. The tribal people of Salt are of God whilst Mammon and Media are of Satan. https://youtu.be/NIB8q3YiQZs The Udege tribal Son of Man Super Hitler Putin speaks the truth versus the great blasphemers of the USA and the West. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not forgivable and Putin will punish them very hard. https://youtu.be/WCjpz-_w0y0 Thus, everyone is to give his account to God and you cannot blame anyone other than yourself.
