POLITICS:

/0 Comments/in /by
ALOHA FAMILY AND FRIEND

I am a little uneasy due to the lies and confusion I find especially among Christians.  So many superficial and personality types of useless political junk flying about.   So if not wanting to read this paper about Politics, just hit the delete button,  easy fix.

First off,    Trump was not elected to be a Christian Minister,   he was elected as an obviously wise businessman who might balance the books for the nation.   Unfortunately the socialists still control the purse strings in the House of Representatives and are out to bankrupt the nation and want to take over our Constitutional Republic and make the U.S. into an atheistic socialist nation like China.  Don’t look at what is said,  look at what is being done.  But do read Romans 13 about how GOD sees all of this stuff and especially any signs of rebellion.    From HIS point of view, we will get the government that we deserve and we need to keep in prayer about it.

> https://youtu.be/sMLNbLohcMM      “Why they want us to hate Trump.”

Socialism gains power through the use of lies and impossible false promises.  But once gaining power then slaughters those who object to the unfulfilled promises.   Socialism has always been about gaining power and then making slaves out of the masses.   Absolute power, corrupts absolutely.   If the atheist socialists win this Nov. election,  Christians will really be in for it.  There will be major negative freedom changes in the LAW.  It will become a very vicious time like when Hitler took Germany into socialism starting in 1933.  Industry will become nationalized,  Inflation will soar,  bank accounts over a certain amount stolen.   Taxes unbearable,  Churches closed,  non-profit status recended,  Bibles labeled as hate literature and burned. Gun rights revoked and arms confiscated.   Gay and Black rights temporarily exceeding real rights.  Abortion at will.   History turned to fiction in schools.   Little by little this atheism will all head our way if Trump does not win.  And none of this is new.  The last 4 years has been a serious fight between our Republic and the Socialists are already in our present government.   The socialists have been very active to secure all of the above.  They even spent Billions of Tax payer funds for over 3 years in trying to boot Trump out of office on the basis of lies.  They know that if Trump remains in office that the Washington swamp just might be drained in the next 4 years.  It has all been set up now for that big event to happen if Trump is still in office.  That is the reason for such a fight,  it is a life and death struggle for American Socialism.

It is going to be a very disturbing next 3 months of mud slinging but the bottom line is either we get all our friends and neighbors and family to vote for the Constitution or it may be replaced by socialism in a just few years time.    Trumps personality has nothing to do with anything important.  But his actions do.  More people were going to work,  Military is more protective.  Wall is being built.  Taxes were reduced.  No one knew in the beginning what to do with the CCPvirus and we really still don’t.  The road between income and security with the virus is not going to be easy to find.

But keep your eyes on King Jesus as it seems the birth pains for the creation of His Church are upon us.   Matt.24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.   Write me if you would like my paper:   “The King is Coming”   ken@trinity-aloha.org

WHO AM I ?

ALOHA FAMILY & FRIENDS,  Beloved of God and me,     John 3:16-18

WHO AM I,   WHY AM I HERE,  WHERE AM I GOING?    “WORTH CONSIDERING”   8/17/20   From Ken<><

Today’s Scripture
“…This was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Temple assistants from Jerusalem to ask John, “Who are you?” He came right out and said, “I am not the Messiah”…”  (John 1:19–20, NLT)

Know Who You Are and Aren’t

John the Baptist was baptizing people and gaining a lot of attention when the Jewish leaders asked him if he was the Messiah. Without missing a beat, John said, “I am not.” It’s important to know who you are and who you’re not. If you don’t know this, you can spend your life trying to be something you’re not. Knowing what you’re not will help you stay focused on becoming who you are because there will always be pressures to be this, to be that, to be the other. If you’re trying to be something you’re not, you’ll be frustrated. There’s no grace for it. It will be a constant struggle, like it’s always uphill. When you’re you, you activate your anointing. The anointing on your life is to be who God called you to be. There’s a favor, a blessing, a grace that is unique to your life.

Be confident in what you have. Keep being who God’s made you to be.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You have given me gifts and talents to fulfill my destiny, and they are different from what others have been given. Thank You for the blessing of being different and the privilege of making the most of what You’ve given me. I will be content. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”


Ken’s Comments<
In talking with the Holy Spirit this morning HE gave me to understand that God created two kinds of us men and women, obvious.  And even then there are no two alike and it is the same learning experience for every one of us to learn how to live in faith, love, humility and obedience regardless of what our assignment is from our Creator.  I woke up in a man’s body or house as I like to call it and at best a temporary house that my soul is presently living in for now, but almost worn out.   And to think otherwise would be to challenge the wisdom of God.  And in my pilgrimage through life I have found, now being almost 88, that for all of us earth is just a very temporary learning experience.  One of simple faith, love, humility and obedience to the Holy Spirit just like every other other soul that was/is created at conception.  If I make Jesus LORD and learn how to walk out my faith, love humility and obedience in my circumstances then my Creator has promised a new house when this one is destroyed.  It is not complicated:  Make Jesus LORD, get your sins forgiven submit to HIM in learning to live in Love, Faith, Humility and Obedience as LORD and you will live for eternity in the Kingdom of God with HIM.  If you decide not to, up to you.  But no body, no house, no light at all,  but still a living soul for eternity.   Not a good way to go, all the good stuff will be inside the New Kingdom of God.

Jesus said this concerning John the Baptist:   Matt. 11:11-12,  “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater [in privilege] than he.  From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize].”

What Jesus said about HIMSELF:   John 5:36.   “But the testimony which I have is far greater than the testimony of John; for the works that the Father has given Me to finish—the very same works [that is, the miracles and proofs of My deity] that I am [now] doing—testify about Me, [by providing evidence] that the Father has sent Me.

Ok, So now what does the Bible have to say about you?   Romans  8:32,  “He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against God’s elect (His chosen ones)? It is God who justifies us [declaring us blameless and putting us in a right relationship with Himself].  Who is the one who condemns us? Christ Jesus is the One who died [to pay our penalty], and more than that, who was raised [from the dead], and who is at the right hand of God interceding [with the Father] for us.  Who shall ever separate us from the love of [d]Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?  Just as it is written and forever remains written,    “For your sake we are put to death all day long;  we are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.”  Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us].  For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers,  nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Worthy Brief <worthybrief@worthynetwork.com&gt;  In the immediate aftermath of the August 4 explosion which blasted through Beirut, Christian Arab broadcasting company SAT-7 Arabic Channels began ministering to the city’s devastated community, CBN News reports. SAT-7 broadcasts to around 30 million people in the Middle East and North Africa, sharing the Gospel in Arabic, Farsi and Turkish.    Pastor Said Deeb of Life Center Church in Beirut said the day of the massive explosion, a strange feeling came over him – a combination of anxiety, anger, and sadness that shook him to the core. He said he prayed with his staff but didn’t get a break-through and couldn’t shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen so sent everyone home before the explosion.    In the first half of 2020, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials intercepted almost 20,000 false driver’s licenses that were sent mostly from China and Hong Kong, but also from the UK and South Korea, Just the News reported Monday. The licenses were sent in 1,513 shipments between January 1 and June 30, CBP officials said in a statement.  The Black Lives Matter organization held a rally in Chicago Monday night in support of over 100 people who were arrested for looting and other offenses committed the night before, during unrest in the city’s downtown shopping district, CBN News reports. BLM organizer Ariel Atkins described the looting as “reparations” because “these businesses have insurance.”

666 Chip

/0 Comments/in /by
Aloha Family & Friends,
Beautiful Sunday,  Quiet,  Peaceful,  Really enjoy my little Study and new key board and mouse….  The Holy Spirit led me into the study today and I received this note back from a dear friend.   As I was writing to him I also felt to pass my remaks along to you.

David got back to me about the FaceBook link I had at the bottom of the page (8/15) that now is missing?   David wrote me:     The facebook Page seems to have been removed… surprised?   So I wrote him back concerning the missing article:

Aloha David,
 Not really,   FaceBook = Just the NWO consortium gathering for the “End of the Age of the Gentiles”  Luke 21:24.    This Nov. election will also be a choice for Constitution or NWO.  It is going to be a crazy ride either way.  But if NWO,  Christian are going to begin to really suffer.

The gist was that the guy who developed the chip to be inserted under the skin for identity became a Christian and realized that what he had done was to create the 666 chip , 1/4 size of grain of rice  with a lithium battery  which needed high/low temp to charge the battery.  A million dollar test found the two best places were either the right hand or the forehead.   And he realized that the Greek word for Mark indicated to be inserted.  And he realized that those who were introduced to the system would have no way to really back out.  That once a person was attached to the system that their ID and resources would never again be personal.   It would be a final form for enslaving the world.  He was then strongly opposed for any one inserting the chip.   As a Christian he was so very sorry for making the 666 chip come into being.   And it seemed to confirm what the Lord had shown me many years ago but with a lot more details.  Looks like the birth pains for the creation of the Church of Christ Jesus are ramping up.   Seems the cost of being a Christian may be on the rise in the U.S. as it is on the other side of the world.  Especially if this Nov. election votes in atheistic socialism.

With the CCPvirus it would appear that it would be best for those who are really Christian  to return to the original House or home church type of gathering that can happen with even 2 or 3.     For over a 100 years this was the type of gathering and worship of the Early Church.
Rom.  16.5       Also greet the church that meets in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the first convert to                             Christ from [the west coast province of] Asia [Minor].
1 Cor. 16:19     The churches of Asia send you their greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church [that meets]                              in their house, send you their warm greetings in the Lord.
Col. 4:15           Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church that meets in                              her house.
Phil. 1:2             and to [your wife] Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier [in ministry], and to                                                  the church that meets in your house:

Anyone can use their home as a House Church for family and friends and in our time and space but do be aware of the potential of the Virus which has been released upon the world as a petulance as per the Jesus prophesy of Matt. 24, Mark 13 & Luke 21.  But these are only the birth pains that cause the True Church of Christ Jesus to make herself ready without spot or blemish.  This is not part of the 7 year Great Tribulation of GOD’s WRATH,  yet to come.  For more on House Church   GoTo:  www.Trinity-Aloha.org   and LinkTo:   “Keys To The Kingdom”   in the contents you will find directions for “The House Church”   House Church seems now the way to go to keep the faith once delivered.  But get back to me if you have any questions.   Ken<><   ken@trinity-aloha.org

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

ALOHA FAMILY & FRIENDS,  Beloved of God and me,   John 3:14-18

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD,  WORTH CONSIDERING   8/15/20  From Ken<><

Today’s Scripture   (Across my desk on Friday from a Church in Texas.)
“…For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock…”  (Psalm 27:5, NLT)

Why Be Afraid?
David had all kinds of things come against him—people, armies, even his own family. He had many reasons to live worried, upset, and bitter. But he said, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? Why should I be afraid?” David lived with this attitude, “God’s got this. I’m not going to worry or live in fear. He will hide me when trouble comes. He will place me out of reach.”

You may have discouraging situations and difficulties coming against you, but God has placed you out of reach. They can’t defeat you. Now do like David and remain confident. Keep your peace. You may feel like you’re surrounded by an army, but the truth is you’re surrounded by God’s favor. The forces that are for you are greater than the forces that are against you. God’s got this. He’s done it in the past, and He’s not going to stop now.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You are my light and my salvation and the stronghold of my life. Thank You for Your promise of protecting me when troubles come and placing me out of its reach. I will live from a place of peace, knowing I am safe in the palms of Your hands. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Ken’s Thoughts:
This works well if your ears are on and you are in humility and obedience to the LORD as David became later on in his life and wrote many of the psalms.   We all tend to learn the 23rd when we are in Sunday School:  

A Psalm of David.
23 The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me],  I shall not want.    2 He lets me lie down in green pastures;  He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.  3   He refreshes and restores my soul (life);  He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.  4 Even though I walk through the [sunless] [a] valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me;Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me.  5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed my head with [b] oil;  My cup overflows.  6 Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord.

Even before I became a Christian there were 3 time in my life that I can remember the LORD saving me from sure death.   And it all depended on what I did after hearing HIS voice in my mind telling me gently what to do.  Hope you like my story time…  One night, very late, I was returning from the Mojave Desert after rock hunting with 3 other guys in my chevy.   And I looked down and I was speeding along about 80 mph.   I decided that I better slow down.  And a small voice said, you are doing fine.  As all seemed Ok so did not change my speed but a few minutes later I went through a very large cinder cone and as I was in the middle of the cinder cone there were rail road track making an X with the road.  I looked out my right side window and there was a big bright light about 18″ in diameter.  As my back bumper cleared the track a stream liner went by at doing about 90 mph.  and it was very long.  If I had slowed down at all, I would have ran right into the train as there was no light at the crossing and no way to see the train or the light.  I could not have stopped in time if I had even seen the train.   If I had not have listened to the voice, I would not be writing this note to you at this time in my life.  But I did listen, the guys were asleep, the car was purring and the radio was not blaring some beat music.  Thank God for that quite time and the ability to hear HIS voice even as a none Christian. And I know each of you could match me story for story.  

So now to the punch line.   If you really know there is a God, why don’t you spend more time getting acquainted?    Notice that in the New Testament GOD is looking to have a relationship with us.  Matt. 25:22-13, “ Later the others also came, and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open [the door] for us.’ 12 But He replied, ‘I assure you and most solemnly say to you, I do not know you [we have no relationship].’ 13 Therefore, be on the alert [be prepared and ready], for you do not know the day nor the hour [when the Son of Man will come.”  I noted a few days ago that a survey found out the 48% of those who thought they were Christian would go to heaven because they were GOOD people..  Obviously ½ of the virgins felt the same way and 50% lost out as they had no relationship, no oil.   2 Cor. 5:21, “He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious loving kindness].   John 10:14, “I am the Good Shepherd, and I know [without any doubt those who are] My own and My own know Me [and have a deep, personal relationship with Me ]—

So if you are really saved you have a deep personal relationship with Christ Jesus as LORD.     Matt.7:22.   “Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me [you are banished from My presence], you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].’

Past Great Quotes:
“I believe there is no doctrine more dangerous to the Church today than to convey the impression that a revival is something peculiar in itself and cannot be judged by the same rules of causes and effect as other things.”  – Billy Sunday

“A true revival means nothing less than a revolution, casting out the spirit of worldliness and selfishness, and making God and His love triumph in the heart and life.” -Andrew Murray

“The coming revival must begin with a great revival of prayer. It is  in the closet, with the door shut, that the sound of abundance of rain will first be heard. An increase of secret prayer with ministers will be the sure harbinger of blessing.”-Andrew Murray

“When is a revival needed? When carelessness and unconcern keep the people asleep.”  – Billy Sunday

“Trying to run a church without revivals can be done when you can run a gasoline engine on buttermilk.” – Billy Sunday

“Revival comes from heaven when heroic souls enter the conflict determined to win or die-or if need be, to win and die! The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” -Charles Finney

“When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God.”  -Henry Blackaby
    
6th Key of 7 To The Kingdom of God:  
For VIEWING the other 6 Keys:   GoTo:   www.Trinity-Aloha.org   LinkTo:  Keys To The Kingdom  

Body Life Ministry,    Key 6,
For me “Body Life Ministry” is there to help the Church learn how to Minister to the Church as in James:   “Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].”  James 5:16

Of course this take a degree of maturity in Love to cover the multitude of sins.   “ Above all, have fervent and unfailing love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins [it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others]” .    1 Peter 4:8       1 Cor. 13 fits nicely here as well.    When the Body of Christ learns to Minister to the needs of the Body of Christ in the Holy Spirit.  That is when it really starts to look like Jesus and is healthy and has HIS power.  The division between clergy and laity discourages this. Theater Church also discourages this kind of social ministry.   The Holy Spirit is seated at the pipe organ,  we are the many peddles keys and stops at HIS disposal.  We must learn to sound only as we are on pitch and anointed to do so to hear God’s voice.  Each soul is a precious living stone to be fitly joined and compacted together so the World can experience Christ Jesus through HIS Church.  Eph. 4:11-17, John 17: 20-22,   John 12:24-26.  

So if we stay close to the Holy Scripture in sharing Jesus  He will become what many can know and then will ask questions if they are seeking to grow spiritually.  There are many who would really like to grow spiritually but don’t know how and some have been boxed up in some little denomination and made a church member rather than learn to be a disciple of Christ Jesus.    Christ Jesus has appointed HIS apostles, ministers and disciples  to make disciples that are like HIM in spite of what the world might think or be doing.  The only membership in HIS Kingdom is to be in a relationship with Christ Jesus as LORD.  Our task is to assume HIS vision and become apart of Him in sharing HIS solutions for sin and the sins of our world.  Our calling is to find HIS sheep that are lost among the wolves of this world and to feed them the Word of God to grow up into HIM and to help protect them for HIM. 

6th Key to the Kingdom, 
The Menorah in the Tabernacle was/is  the 6th symbol for these 7 spirits of God.  Isaiah 11:2-3
  And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him—
  The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
  The Spirit of counsel and strength,
  The Spirit of knowledge and of the [reverential and obedient] fear of the Lord—
  3  And He will delight in the fear of the Lord,
  And He will not judge by what His eyes see,
  Nor make decisions by what His ears hear;

Worthy Brief <worthybrief@worthynetwork.com&gt;  A recent survey has found that only 35% of Americans believe salvation is obtained through faith in Christ alone, while 48% believe salvation can be earned through being a good person, Arizona Christian University (ACU) reports.    U.S. authorities have seized millions of dollars and hundreds of virtual currency accounts used to funnel money to al-Qaida, Islamic State (IS) and Hamas’s military wing, the Justice Department announced Thursday.    Iran is moving to boost production of nuclear fuel at a key facility was struck by apparent sabotage last month.

That would mean that fully 1/2 of folks going to church and thinking they are OK are headed in the wrong direction.   Salvation is a Gift of God through faith alone.  But real faith changes the life.
 

SECURITY

ALOHA FAMILY & FRIENDS, Beloved of me and God,   John 3:14-18

 SECURITY IN CHRIST JESUS     “WORTH CONSIDERING”   8/13/20
     
Today’s Scripture        (Across my desk this morning from a church in Texas.)
“…This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins…”  (1 John 4:10, NLT)

This is Real Love
“Real love” is not our love for God, it’s God’s love for us. When we try to perform to gain His love, the problem is that we can never measure up. There will always be something we can’t do right, some reason we can’t feel good about ourselves. Why don’t you take the pressure off and receive real love, God’s love for you?

That’s what the lady who was caught in the act of adultery had to do in John 8. When her religious accusers walked away, failing to condemn her, Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” He didn’t say, “Go and change your ways, quit giving in to the temptation, and then I’ll love you, then I’ll be for you.” Just the opposite. He first said, “I don’t condemn you.” Before He talked about her behavior, before he addressed the issues, Jesus made sure she knew she was the one whom He loved.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that Your love is the real love that I need to change my life. Thank You that You sent Jesus as a sacrifice to take away my sins that I might receive Your love as a gift. I receive it now, and I believe I am the one whom You love. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Ken’s  Comments,
BUT, Jesus did tell the woman, “Go and sin no more.”  And of course there were no Christians until the Resurrection of Christ Jesus and the Church did not start until Pentecost.   The 4 Gospels are transitional to bring us from the LAW into GOD’S Grace.   But Grace is still conditional.  That is ( if ) you do that, I will do this.  The little word “if” is all the way through the New Testament.  Sure,  from God’s dimension HE knows who HIS “Elect” are through HIS absolute foreknowledge.   But from our point of view as being locked in time, we really don’t know if we will graduate until graduation.  Our earthly habit patterns are a good indication if they conform to the conditions set out in the New Testament.  It is true that GOD loves each of us just as much as HE loves Jesus.  But as to us loving God back in obedience it is up to us.  Love is a decision on our part as is also humility and obedience.  So I leave you with some conditional scriptures to consider.

Heb. 6:3-9: “ And we will do this [that is, proceed to maturity], if God permits. 4 For [it is impossible to restore to repentance] those who have once been enlightened [spiritually] and who have [a] tasted and consciously experienced the heavenly gift and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted and consciously experienced the good word of God and the powers of the age (world) to come, 6 [b] and then have fallen away—it is impossible to bring them back again to repentance, since they again nail the Son of God on the cross [for as far as they are concerned, they are treating the death of Christ as if they were not saved by it], and are holding Him up again to public disgrace. 7 For soil that drinks the rain which often falls on it and produces crops useful to those for whose benefit it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God; 8 but if it persistently produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.   9 But, beloved, even though we speak to you in this way, [c] we are convinced of better things concerning you, and of things that accompany salvation.”

Heb. 9:26-31: “For if we go on willfully and deliberately sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice [to atone] for our sins [that is, no further offering to anticipate], 27 but a kind of awful and terrifying expectation of [divine] judgment and the fury of a fire and burning wrath which will consume the adversaries [those who put themselves in opposition to God]. 28 Anyone who has ignored and set aside the Law of Moses is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much greater punishment do you think he will deserve who has rejected and trampled under foot the Son of God, and has considered unclean and common the blood of the covenant that [a] sanctified him, and has insulted the Spirit of grace [who imparts the unmerited favor and blessing of God]? 30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine [retribution and the deliverance of justice rest with Me], I will repay [the wrongdoer].” And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31 It is a fearful and terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God [incurring His judgment and wrath].”

Mark 13:13: “You will be hated by everyone because of [your association with] My name, but the one who [ patiently perseveres empowered by the Holy Spirit and] endures to the end, he will be saved.”

Rom. 11:21: “ for if God did not spare the natural branches [because of unbelief], He will not spare you either. 22 Then appreciate the gracious kindness and the severity of God: to those who fell [into spiritual ruin], severity, but to you, God’s gracious kindness ( if ) you continue in His kindness [by faith and obedience to Him]; otherwise you too will be cut off. “

ELECTION 11/20

ELECTION,   From a good Friend who wrote me his feelings.     8/12/20

The impact can be summoned by one word: madness.    Unrestricted abortions, even post-birth, open borders, higher taxes, trillions wasted on impossible objectives such as ending climate change and racism, opposition to freedoms of religion, speech, and the right to bear arms,  police reduced and remade into a repressive rather than a protective force.  activist  judges  on a packed Supreme Court,  unrestricted  voting,  compulsory  denial  of  science  that  recognizes  only two genders with no possible crossover between them, and other horrors.

My Comments:
Yep !!!  Socialism, sugar coated false promises to gain power with no intent in keeping  them is coming to town.  But  once fully  in power, those  who  object  to the broken promises are disposed of as were the 50 million souls with the transformation of  Germany,  Russia and China and other nations.   Then the top 5%  live  very  good  and  all  else are slaves as in N. Korea.   Hitler came to power in 1933 based on his  socialist  promises,  which  he did not keep.  How  did  that work out for the world?   Especially the Jews.   I went through it as a boy.

Socialism,  ( New Wold Order) is coming for a vote in November.   On Jan. 1st We  will  again  be seeking to drain the swamp or over the dam we go.   As a Christian, the only peace I have found  is with the teachings of Jesus.  Read the Gospel of John some time.

SUFFERING

ALOHA FAMILY AND FRIENDS,  Beloved of me and God,    John 3:14-18

SUFFERING,      “WORTH CONSIDERING”     8/12/20       From Ken<><

Today’s Scripture          (Across my desk this morning from Texas.  Has issues, can you find them?)
“…Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity…”   (1 Corinthians 13:12, NLT)

We See Imperfectly
We all go through painful times when we’re hurting, lonely, undergoing medical treatment, and on the surface, the pieces of our life don’t make sense. We think they can’t be a part of God’s plan. Pain is a part of life, and it often feels like a dark place. It’s easy to get discouraged and think, God, why did this happen? You have to trust that even then, God doesn’t make any mistakes. He’s already designed your life and laid out every piece down to the smallest detail. He never said we would understand everything along the way. God didn’t promise that there wouldn’t be any pain, suffering, or disappointment. But He did promise that it would all work out for our good. That piece that’s painful, that doesn’t look as though it makes sense—when everything comes together, it’s going to fit perfectly in place. You just can’t see it now because the other pieces are not in place.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that there is a purpose for whatever pain comes my way and that You only allow what I can handle and what is for my good. Thank You that though I may not understand it now, the day is coming when I will see it clearly and understand. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Ken’s Comments,
Almost did not send the above along today as it is typical religious excuses for the pain of this world and sort of lays it all on GOD.  Actually none of the pain in this world comes from GOD.  It is the results of our misuse of our own FreeWill.  Simply God gave the world to Adam and Adam gave it to lucifer and at this point in time lucifer is the god of this world that now works through the children of disobedience.  In other words this world is a mess because we have made it this way.  We have allowed atheistic socialism to gain control of our children for the past 70 years and now we have children who are shooting each other for sport with no conscience at all.  Where the pure Truth of God goes there is loving peace and prosperity.  Where hate and fear goes, there is poverty and murder.  THERE IS AN IMMUTABLE COSMIC LAW OF GOD IN EFFECT.   WHAT WE SOW IS WHAT WE REAP.    And there is no exception.  If we are having difficulties in this world it is because of sin somewhere in the family or in us or from Adam on down.  The little Book of James has a good handle on this.  Especially James 4.  “ From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?  2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.  3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.  4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity (war) with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.  5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?  6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.  7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.  9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.  10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.       And James 1:13-22 “ Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God” [for temptation does not originate from God, but from our own flaws]; for God cannot be tempted by [what is] evil, and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion). 15 Then when the illicit desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin has run its course, it gives birth to death. 16 Do not be misled, my beloved brothers and sisters. 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow [d] cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes]. 18 It was of His own will that He gave us birth [as His children] by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits of His creatures [a prime example of what He created to be set apart to Himself, sanctified, made holy for His divine purposes].  19 Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear [be a careful, thoughtful listener], slow to speak [a speaker of carefully chosen words and], slow to anger [patient, reflective, forgiving]; 20 for the [resentful, deep-seated] anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God [that standard of behavior which He requires from us]. 21 So get rid of all uncleanness and [e] all that remains of wickedness, and with a humble spirit receive the word [of God] which is implanted [actually rooted in your heart], which is able to save your souls. 22 But prove yourselves doers of the word [actively and continually obeying God’s precepts], and not merely listeners [who hear the word but fail to internalize its meaning], deluding yourselves [by unsound reasoning contrary to the truth]   AND I THINK THAT JAMES SAYS IT WELL.  I PRAY YOU HAVE THE HUMILITY TO ABSORB THE ABOVE TRUTH AS FROM GOD TO LEARN TO BE BLESSED.  And weeds, planted in a day, can take years to get all pulled.  Before I became a Christian I planted some weeds,  took 17 years to get them pulled out.  Some so called Christians are still planting weeds and really don’t notice the difference.
   
Yours, in HIS great love and wonderful grace and mercy,   Ken<>< www.Trinity-Aloha.org

FAITH & EXPECTANCY

FAITH & EXPECTANCY,     “WORTH CONSIDERING”   8/11/20    From Ken<><

Today’s Scripture      (Over my desk this morning from a church in Texas.)
“…Your faith has healed you. Go in peace…”   (Luke 8:48, NIV)

Release Your Faith
Scripture says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” That means you can be obedient and yet have a sour attitude and not please God. You can give, help the poor, and volunteer, which are good things we should do, and not please God. If you’re not believing for things bigger than you can accomplish on your own, if you’re not expecting difficulties to turn around, if you’re not anticipating new levels, and thanking God that He’s opening doors you can’t open, thanking Him that He’s bringing promises to pass, then you’re not releasing your faith. You have to stir up what God put in your heart.   Maybe you’ve been praying, believing, expecting for a long time. Stay in faith; it’s going to happen sooner than it looks. Get ready because God is full of surprises. Many times He’ll do it suddenly, out of the ordinary, you didn’t see it coming. Expect His goodness, and you’ll please God.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You are on Your throne and You are bigger than anything I am facing. I know that You work in Your own perfect timing, so I thank You that it’s on the way. I’m looking for Your goodness and Your favor today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Ken’s Comments,
Expectancy is Faith in Action.  Jesus went to his home town but could not do much to help due to their lack of faith, they grew up with HIM.   And then Jesus said that the Roman Centurion who come to Jesus to heal his servant had the greatest faith in all of Israel.  The woman who touched the clothes of Jesus in expectancy was healed instantly.  Because we rarely see healings that are validated ,particularly in our so called churches, we really go to church sort of ho hum…  I have stood in lines for healing where this was the right thing to do but nothing was happening and certainly no expectancy.  Again Ho Hum…..

In the over ½ a century that I have been in ministry I have experienced both the traditional religious form of theater church being performed with little happening.  And I have enjoyed the times,  immensely, when the Holy Spirit was released in expectancy and in great joy went around fixing the needs of God’s people.  It is not that the promises of God are invalid or selective but that we don’t know how to come together in humility and loving faith and expectancy.  When there is faithful expectancy the people come early and stay late because they enjoy the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.    If the expectancy is arrive at 10:30 and be out for lunch by 12.  In an effort to keep a ticket to the pearly gates and pay your weekly dues, I am sorry, but that is not New Testament Church.  A New Testament Church has nothing to do with a building.  It is a gathering of like minded souls in humility and loving faith with expectancy for the Holy Spirit to come and minister to the needs according to the Riches in Christ Jesus.  In the Early Church it is clearly recorded in Acts 2:41-43 and gives us the same 7 prophetic steps of the Tabernacle of Moses in the wilderness as follows.  “41 So then, those who accepted his message were baptized; and on that day about [a]3,000 souls were added [to the body of believers]. 42 They were continually and faithfully devoting themselves to the instruction of the apostles, and to fellowship, to [b] eating meals together and to prayers.  43 A sense of awe was felt by [c] everyone, and many wonders and signs (attesting miracles) were taking place through the apostles.”  The King James records it this way:   “41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.  42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.”  

So we find seven informal steps here to help those 3,000 souls be attached and safely placed in a good basket to ripen properly.  It was not to become a liturgy.  Just as the Lord’s Prayer is how to pray and not a form of prayer.    If you would like to really know more about what the New Testament Church was like you might enjoy the following link:

 https://trinity-aloha.org/keys-to-the-kingdom/house-church/

So to have a Godly expectancy we must also know God’s Truth of what it is that HE really wants to do.   If I go to a gathering were I know what is going to happen, usually I am glad when it is over.  In a real New Testament Healthy Church you never know what is going to happen next.  I have gone to a fellowship on a Sat. evening which officially started at 7PM and hippies had been there from 5 PM waiting with expectancy.  Sometimes I did not get home till after 3 AM in the morning.  And there was never a dull moment.  It was like I was only there for a short time as the time was so filled with the Holy Spirit.   And it was not my “show” I was just a part of what happened and what the Holy Spirit wanted to do.  Sometimes when demons invaded the Holy Spirit would have me take some authority.  But frankly I just enjoyed being there and greatly miss it now as I look back in time at when there was much expectancy or faith..  A true New Testament Church looks like Jesus.  His disciples did not know what HE was up to, most of the time.  That is why HE is LORD.

Yours, in HIS great love and wonderful grace and mercy,   Ken<><   www.Trinity-Aloha.org

PRAYER, MEDITATION & WORRY

ALOHA FAMILY AND FRIENDS, Beloved of me and God,  John 3:14-18

PRAYER, MEDITATION & WORRY   “WORTH CONSIDERING: 8/10/20

Today’s Scripture                   (Across my desk this morning from a church in Texas.)
“…My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises…”
(Psalm 119:148, NIV)

You Control the Doorway
Studies show that we talk to ourselves up to thirty thousand times a day. There is always something playing in our minds. The Scripture tells us to meditate on God’s promises. The word meditate means “to think about over and over.” We need to pay attention to what we’re meditating on.

Meditating is the same principle as worrying. When you worry, you’re just meditating on the wrong thing. You’re using your faith in reverse. If you go through the day worried about your finances, worried about your family, and worried about your future because you’re allowing the wrong thoughts to play, it’s going to cause you to be anxious, fearful, negative, and discouraged. The whole problem is what you’re choosing to meditate on. You control the doorway to your mind. When those negative thoughts come knocking, you don’t have to answer the door. You can say, “No, thanks. I’m going to choose to meditate on what God says about me.”

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for giving me Your promises to meditate upon. Thank You that Your Word instructs me to think on things that are true, right, wholesome, pure, and of good report. I declare that my trust is in You alone and not in anything else. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Ken’s Comments,
Never been much into the official concept of prayer with hurting knees, hands folded and bowed head.   Not that it is not OK with God and some folks.  I have always been a little too active for that.  But what works for me is short intense prayers, out loud (when alone) in my bedroom, study or truck. Sometime get a ringing in my ears or a headache and a solid faithful prayer in rebuking the enemy gets rid of it.  Now learning about other aches and pains in my old body that need fixing. Stuff due to being almost 88.   And as things come to mind I am learning to quickly take it to an open prayer with heart faith.  We all need to learn to grow in faith.  And the growth is not a straight line it is more like 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. 

The thoughts of the world today are mostly Junk in, Junk out.  If I spend time in God’s Word learning about the spiritual world I tend to have more faith.   If I get wrapped up in the worlds stuff then I look more like the world.  Faith and Fear are the opposite of each other.  Much of what the world serves to us is fear based.  Lust is used to get our attention and then fear is used to get us to buy.  Actually fear is faith going backwards.  Some films suck us dry of faith and some films even help our faith.  When I was a kid the guy on the white horse or Billy who said Shazam won, The guy on the black horse always lost…  Now you have no idea who is the good guy until the end sometime.  It is like our elections.  Use to be we could vote for the Good Guy, Now we vote for the better of the two and some times get stuck due to the lies that are hidden so deep.  Like socialism is actually slavery but to hear the press it is the best thing going.  But like a bad habit, much easier to acquire than to get rid of.  So if you insist on filling your head space with fear that is what will grow in your garden.
The Word of God shares a lot about the “PRECIOUS PROMISES OF GOD” The Word Promise is used about 40 times in the Amplified Bible, Go to:

https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=PROMISES&version=AMP  

And have fun finding out what GOD has promised you.  Here are a few scriptures that I like: “I say to you that many [Gentiles] will come from east and west, and will sit down [to feast at the table, and enjoy God’s promises] with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven [because they accepted Me as Savior],” Matt 8:11,    “For by these He has bestowed on us His precious and magnificent promises [ of  inexpressible value ], so that by them you may escape from the immoral freedom that is in the world because of disreputable desire, and become sharers of the divine nature.  2 Peter 1:4.”     “If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose].  1 John 1:9.”    But we need to remember that God’s promises are contingent upon us finding and keeping HIS commandments.  Faith, Love, Humility and Obedience are par for the course in being qualified in securing HIS promises.  The way we have faith is to center it in our heart and allow for no contradictions. And we may have to go over a Truth many many times before our heart sets that truth in our heart library as a permanent thought.  Like some truths are taught over and over in the New Testament and then we will know how important the truth really is.  The Bible is a collection of writings and letters on how to find the Kingdom of God and be able to go there.  So if interested in living in God’s presence upon your graduation from Earth you should spend some time getting your directions in order.   The world has no clear maps at all.    In fact,  for most of the world there is no God, Heaven or Hell,  like they have been there and know for sure there is nothing there.

Yours, in HIS great love and wonderful grace and mercy,   Ken<>< www.Trinity-Aloha.org
