Democratic Tyranny 3-20-10
There is a folly upon the lips of men, that shows their foolish hearts. As though numbered crowds can decree truth, ignoring the lie made obvious in our youth. We are new among the living, yet, our eyes can see we shall not remain for there are more graves than houses for dwelling and the absent share the secret they’re telling. Death is the tyrant infesting the living and democracy is his voice for wide is the path leading to destruction while “the living” is a misnomer of seduction. Listen to the promises every election cycle, read the judicial opinion as codes, they are laws material benefits are given eternal significance by religious oration and philosopher’s wax eloquent on the meaningless meaning of life in contemplation. Death cast his vote upon every man and has poisoned all alive with his bitter sting, but one resurrected into victory and the few who claim their truth joyously sing. Sing of truth, of knowledge, and of all possession of life, sing of the defeat of the democratic tyrant and his strife, sing like a beloved, chosen, cherished wife for her husband is the giver and champion of life.
Another Victim Of Victor 3-09-10
Someone wrote that they lost their house to a Wells Fargo foreclosure even though they were making their payments. Also they expressed that they were my victim. I would like to say to you that your desire just to live a peaceful existence without any troubles is a utopia vainly imagined. First you claim to be my dupe and second could not defend yourself against an unlawful foreclosure. I am not picking on you for your state saddens me but you must recognize that in 5 years of exposure to myself and Dorean you have progressed little and your sentiments are all retreat. You will not find the repose you seek for predators will always find you. I do ask that you don’t give up on me so at the end when I am given opportunity to complete my work you will have saved all the information on what’s transpired so I can deliver you. I am not a dupe of the government or Wells Fargo. Each of them I fear none I respect their power and cunning but they have seriously underestimated Scott and I. I do not boast in us but I have seen what simple men of faith accomplished in battle. My prayer for you is that you will shun away from foolish thinking and ponder what happened to you in light of what God desires to bring to you. Then you will understand better where joy and rest can be found and will not see yourself as a victim but a victor. Please please please be a good steward of the records and I will use them with my victory to secure yours.
Courageous Ridicule 3-09-10
I truly wonder at how people can ridicule my courage in this battle. Is it really wisdom to say the government never loses? In whom do you place your confidence? If you know God can you doubt His victory. Perhaps the human element, Kurt’s weakness is the factor of your concern. So God is strong just incompetent. He lies when He says His strength is perfected in weakness. Almost every time He delivers His children the enemy is confounded. Look at those notable quotes and you can see our enemy completely had their wits about them. Their intelligence was completely lost in moronic behavior. David knew victory over a lion, that gave him confidence for victory over a bear, that gave him confidence for victory over a giant, that gave him confidence for victory over a king. This is not my first rodeo and my confidence is well seasoned by a food whose course always leads to victory. Now if you lack at patience is wagging your faith then your arrogance has blinded you to the ways of God. God will be your servant in love but never a slave to your will. If you like to look at life through your expectations try looking at the expectations of God’s enemies. Then maybe a few lions, bears, giants, and kings will enter your vision. As for me and my house we continue to trust the Lord.
5th Year Psalm 3-07-10
How is it your smile lights my soul, your words of love comfort me. I crave your presence and adore your affection, for you oh Lord are a delight to me. My ears hear the music of your words, which causes my soul to dance within me, while your eyes look harsh in truth, they bat with a gracious flame that warms me. Like a true friend every urgent request is heard, and all your resources are made available. No prayer falls empty of promise and no enemy finds your beloved assailable. How good and pleasant are the relations of God though the milk of human compassion run dry. Your child is ever attended and never forgotten, and though they stumble remain the apple of your eye.
The Story Of The Tree 3-05-10
When I was a young man I heard a story of a man who was told by God to go into the forest and preach to a particular tree everyday for 30 consecutive days. This story interested me because it is another stupid request by God. I am familiar with why does God ask a man to preach to a tree? If you want me to practice my oratory skills why not in front of a mirror, or a group of people where valuable critique could surface? What value could there possibly be with a dumb tree? Sure it is a test to see if I will trust you but a silly trust. The man was confronted with this silly test of trust and went faithfully to that tree and shared the gospel. At first the silliness got the better of him and his word were very anemic. But after a few days he thought if God wants that tree to know the gospel then I will do my best and that tree will be the best informed tree in the forest. I have had this kind of resolve overtake me in the midst of silly exercises. Also the children of Israel were brought to a silly tree. At Marah a pool of water in the midst of a desert journey was easily the center of their hope for survival. But as Marah declares the water was bitter, undrinkable, and no hope at all. These people who had the great miracles of deliverance under their belt of experience had no room or expectations for this kind of disappointment. What kind of God would lead them to such a death as this to die dehydrated in the desert. It must have been a silly God to their imaginations. And their complaining rung of this idea. But God was more silly than they could imagine. He was not going to continue to escalate His miracle performances like a climatic actor, now He wanted to be known. He wanted to be trusted. He pointed Moses to a silly tree and said throw that branch into His water. How is bitter water made sweet by a stick? Could you imagine that? Nor could I. An angel coming down with vials of cure landing upon the waters must have been more to their expectations. Then there was another tree formed into a cross. The silliest tree ever imagined. How does the king of kings save a lost world by hanging on that tree? Yet Jesus did not think it silly and was eager to risk to that occasion. As we know now, no tree turned out to be silly and trusting God always proved fruitful. Unbeknownst to our tree preacher was a broken hearted man who had given up on society and was dwelling in the forest just beyond that tree. On the 30th day he revealed himself and wanted to know Christ. His life and heart were redeemed. Why didn’t God tell our preacher there is a man living in the forest I want you to preach to but he will not stay if you reveal knowledge of Him so I want you to pretend to be preaching to that tree? Would he have not been all the more eager with joy to go? Yes, but God’s way produced the fruit of trust in both men and revelation that caused it to remain. God’s ways may be silly at first thought but trust will reveal otherwise.
Bring It On 3-04-10
Jesus is a champion’s champion. Before He rises up in John 14:31 He acknowledges His enemy in verse 30. I love that spirit in Him and how it is imbibed into His bride. The enemy identified, the battle clear, the will of the Father known, the love of the Father certain, “Let’s rise” explodes from your spirit. This is the best way to describe what happened to Scott and I when Alsup identified himself as His enemy. No fear entered only a “Let’s rise” to the occasion. I do not sit in judgment of my co-defendants, let them judge themselves. But I know the spirit that possessed me was the same as that which possessed Christ in this text. Never would my love for the Father allow me to compromise with a love for self. I know the courage Christ displayed was founded on a complete trust in the Father’s care. It is the same today. As a man I could never fathom the needs, pains, or sufferings of every client but surely God knows and factored that into his plan. Is it not wise for me to give myself over that plan? Shrinking back doesn’t seem to reside tin this place of confidence. God will deal with the enemy and I will deal with God in trust of His loving relationship. Cowardice robs so many of the precious knowledge only obtained in this course. I suffer to human eyes but the eyes of the spirit envy my blessings. I abhor the cross for it’s evil but I know what can make a man rise to the occasion. When you do you’ll say “Bring it on.” Then you’ll understand Samson’s riddle. For the fierce lion that attacks fills your spirit with something sweeter than honey.
A Champion’s Comforts 3-02-10
Many of you have noticed my courage, compassion, and consistency. Many of you have mocked. My ways are not my own but Christ who lives in me. I’m the book of John chapters 14-17. Christ is very much the comforter. He says so many wonderful things about the relationship He established for men in love. I can picture the Lord knowing the times of the spirit and the great work before Him. He’s sitting wanting to take these moments to lavish loving and comforting words upon His disciples. He touches on the timing and is inspired at the end of the chapter 14, verse 31. Knowing His time is at hand He is eager to do God’s work regardless of the pain and suffering. It hits Him “Let us rise and go.” I now picture Him standing but collecting Himself from that moment of courageous obedience and realizing He still has a few moments He continues His comforts of love through chapters 15-17 then in 18:1 marches off to battle. I know this place from public speaking your passions are hot for two important tasks. You pace and engage the people doing all you can to dispense the truth and engage their understanding. Also you know as much personal joy you gain by comforting others you must divorce yourself from that task to face your battle. That is the spirit that possess me. I cannot shrink back from the work of God even though I would have liked to stay with you and comfort you out of your fears. But it will not be comfort that delivers you, it will be my courage and trust in the Lord to finish His work. You have your words of comfort and your assigned champion. Can you rest in the Lord’s provision? That is an individual answer. The champion did not stay gone for long. When He returned His words on the other side of God’s work completed also completed the comfort. Trust in the Lord’s model He has not changed.

Condescending 2-25-10
This is a word that expresses a movement of one superior to the inferior. I’m not sure the movement is anything but benign. It is the will or heart motive behind the movement that is most telling. We have all faced people of superior position who guarded their standing with pride or jealously. Worse than that is one who lacks any real superior standing except for their perception who tries to own this movement. What I opposed on this blog was the arrogance of these perception idiots. It was so easy for them to rise up in judgment and to condescend in pride. The condescending practice from these is the same as reaching down to secure the inferior to assure there can be no faltering when the inferior is stepped on to elevate the other. Many wrap this in religious robes and call it holy. But it is not the practice of God when they attribute it to but is the way of their father the devil. God in Christ left His throne not to step upon creation but with a reach full of love condescended Himself with power to lift and love to elevate. You must ignore Christ to miss this truth. I know this thought may have never crossed the mind of my superiors, but what if God caused Scott and I to suffer as a vehicle of God condescending to elevate others. Why have there been every opportunity to elevate ourselves at the expense of others? This temptation will not cease with victory. It did not cease for Christ at the cross for through His body in every variation He makes a stand not to condescend in power of pride but the power of love. This battle is wrought in the inner man so there is only circumstantial evidence by which judgments are cast. Yet the devil’s agents are never slowed by this evidence deficiency. Their judgments are harsh and their tongues are swift. Perhaps others who knew their standing and have experienced this loving condescension through Christ and His body are possessed with a real factual evidence to ponder with gentle reflection and slow tongues. It is my hope knowing Christ’s style you can interpret if in the circumstance of Dorean and in the hearts of Scott and I. Let us leave off this wicked condescension for the self-righteousness witches and their irreverent courts and love one another as Christ has loved us. Can we be known by anything else?
Save Me And The Conversation 2-22-10
As I’ve said the save me prayer is arrogant and flawed by all the character of a sinner’s nature. But that does not mean all save me prayers are about a justified expression. Here is the thing about God bring a plural personality, a singular being, and a unified will that as a character trait sets the doctrine of His kingdom. The bride of Christ has been invited into this being. To relate as He has always related within Himself. The body of Christ copies this relationship in that there are many personalities, one body or being, and a unified will. If the save me prayer should come from one of these personalities in relationship without a violation of the being by usurpation of the unified will then it is a factual part of relating Jesus said the save me prayer under these conditions. His personality was not excited about the suffering before Him but His spirit was joyed by the direction of the unified will. For Christ not to relate His concern would be disingenuous to an honest loving relationship. If we find ourselves in trial not liked to which deliverance is a desire a save me prayer is appropriate to the standing of servant and Master. But if the desire of the Master should say “my grace is sufficient for you” the will must rein in your spirit. Then as Christ, an addendum must attach to your save me prayer, “not my will by thy will be done.” Many times I have expressed my prayerful desire to be done with this trail but always this expression was not a dictate twisted out of a faith lever to move God but from one trusting his lover enough not to omit the truthful expression of them self. We were invited into God through Christ to be at liberty to our true selves, naked without shame. Completely free to relate. This save me prayer has been thoroughly answered in Christ which is ample evidence that we can have a desire but still surrender our will. The deliverance and victory at the end of this course will always impregnate your spirit with joy and courage far superior to the momentary suffering one desires relief from. So if you know of your deliverer and His salvation pray for me also for our answer is trustworthy.
Save Me 2-19-10
This is the substantive montra of just about every prayer to touch the ears of God. If people would stop to analyze this prayer they would see that it rocks with all the flaws of our selfish nature. I can only imagine how many clients sent up prayers during foreclosures, loss of job, Dorean troubles. Oh that people would come to know the trustworthiness of God and His love towards you. Christ showed this when His prayer was for God to be glorified not salvation from a cross. This was the model for Scott and I. We could have spent all our time focused on prayers for deliverance but God’s glory forced upon us the course we have taken. I know to the sinners it appears I am getting my ass kicked and that I am being punished. Even friends have fallen prey to the devil’s interpretation. But I can say I have never been more blessed than I am this day. Only those brave enough to say “unto you do I commend my spirit” know the joys of surrender to God’s care. He is God and from that vantage point making all things work together for good to easy work. The arrogance of a “save me” prayer is it is faithless. God is your servant to the dictates of your will. You trust yourself and your idea of good. You remain in control without trust. As soon as an exit or possible exit appears you jump on it and decree it God’s will. How many choices in this trial can you imagine Scott and I faced to lead us to a quicker exit? There were hundreds but our surrender to Christ and our desire to see Him glorified made obvious our course. Could I fathom the nature of the course? No way but then I’m not God and the course is not my job. Much of my boosting, expectations of victory, and hope for you are founded on my experience of trusting God in prior trials and the awesome love by which He loves His children. Alsup and any army He can raise are the least concern for man lost in God’s care. His power is extinguishable and God’s ways are distinguishable. I don’t’ need to be saved I was saved long ago in Christ. What I need now is to see m savior honored. This happens as a matter of course as long as I stay on it. When this is finished many of you will recall how you failed in trusting God and yet even with you as an enemy He still placed servants in your stead to suffer what you were unwilling to do and saved you. That is an awesome love that one day you’ll discover is trustworthy. Then “save me” will sound as foolish as it is.
Angry God Alternative 2-17-10
As opposed to the solitary deity of idolatry you can imagine Pantheisa such as the Greeks, Romans, Vikings, Hindus etc. The problem for man is the deciphering which God deserves what loyalties. If one’s life is indebted to a creator, a fertility God, a game God, an agricultural God, a weather God and the list goes on what alms go where? These gods being equal but not unified are given over to competitions and petty jealousness. How do you have clear lines of demarcation when your herds prosper under good weather and abundant crops to feed them. This collective of gods still leave you with an angry God though you can deceive yourself that the one whose blessing and favor appear can be an advocate to the angry one. Every approach is trepidations and dreadful. No relationship is ever contemplated only appeasement. The simplest version of this is Ying-Yang for the lost generations depicted in cartoon through Mad Magazine as Spy vs. Spy. Each side is equal and one is good and one is evil, presumed to be black and white. But when you have equality in opposition there is no advantage or anything superior. Good cannot triumph over evil. The best is a stalemate. How creation could occur from a stalemate I cannot fathom. Besides there is no morality in this scenerio because to evil good is evil. If you happen to place your allegence with either rside you will perceive your status as good. You can’t even enjoy the idea of fair since unfair cannot be derived from euality. The forces of Starwars are fanciful impossibilities. No matter the imagination of man in designing his religions or Gods he will always come to God with the limitation of creation. No one could have fathomed the unified one god revealed to man. He is the only possible God that can explain creation, the contradictions in our being, and our relationship to Him. This God is like no other. He is not angry and seeks not appeasement only relationship. Of course the relationship forces a loss of rebellion or religion the two levers of our pride and control. There is superiority, righteousness, truth, that is exclusive, goodness and evil. A real being that can’t be imagined that will be the other of a relationship. There may be many alternatives but there is only one God.
What Crime 2-18-10
I have been subjected to two juries and process and lost 5 years of my life to incarceration. But my question remains “for what crime?” I know what the indictment said and I have heard a lot of noise in my ears about an idea of wrong-doing yet in all this time not one person has put together a comprehensive complaint. It has all been rhetoric without fact or law. Take mail fraud – what is the crime? Using the mails to further a scheme or artifice. A scheme or artifice to break what law? Fraud you say, ok. Fraud as a common law? The feds don’t have common law. Let’s just say it was a common law fraud, who was the victim? Where is the sworn complaint of a personal victim claiming a reliance, a loss of property or money as a consequence of my statements. If you are a client saying I did not provide the service I promised then let me defend. If a “lender” then let me defend. But no, a mere slander feast without facts in on indefinite accusation is enough to make you all judges. Is it any wonder a world so stupid as stampeding its way to hell? Here are a couple of quotes from Blaise Pascul:
“And since man has lost the true good, everything can appear equally good to him, even his own destruction, though so opposed to God, to reason, and to the whole course of nature.”
“If we do not know ourselves to be full of pride, ambition, lust, weakness, misery, and injustice, we are indeed blind. And if, knowing this, we do not desire deliverance, what can we say of a man…?”
“If it is an extraordinary blindness to live without investigating what we are it is a terrible one to live an evil life, while believing in God.”
“If we would say that man is too insignificant to deserve communion with God, we must indeed be very great to judge of it.”
“The just man acts by faith in the least of things,…”
“The law imposed what it did not give. Grace gives what it imposes.”
“There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who believe themselves sinners; the rest, sinners, who believe themselves righteous.”
It is clear by this thinker’s quotes that men are not very good judges and cannot discern justice. Even if I could trust the facts and a real low to your care would you grant me justice? If so why have you been so quick to delight in calling injustice, justice? Truth is exclusive and force and numbers do not convert a lie to truth. You will learn I have never committed or been changed with a crime.

No Angry God 2-16-10
The Christian gospel is not like any religion of men. It does not share the angry God needing appeasement imagined by fearful creatures. It is so contrary that this in itself could suffice as evidence for its divine origin. God is love as John declares it but what does that really mean? Of course God is more than any single attribute but this one is a very unique expression that may be more descriptive than a solitary attribute. The doctrine of the trinity has been argued for eons but what it teaches me is profound. God being a trinity may also be a single attribute but that is not what concerns me. It is the functionality of this attribute as a display of revelation. When I strip God of all creation to imagine Him alone I used to narrow my understanding to power. He is all power. Since creation is the expression of His power it was logical. But if He is somehow one God of varied personalities this strips Him back beyond His power. Power can only be measured by action and juxtaposed to something inferior. That is why creation is a display of His power. But if there is a Father, Son, and Spirit you’ll have relationship even if God is stripped down to His essence. This means that love goes back beyond His expressed power to be a core of His existence. Therefore God truly and thoroughly is love. If he was a single deity imagined by men where would He garner love from. If you strip this deity down to self that’s what you have, a lone deity with all power. Now how can this deity come to the notion to create. He is not one to relate, has no equals, and needs not to suffer inferiors. But if He should choose to create how could it be from love for love does not reach behind His power. So if power is the sole basis of creation, creation would suffer under the angry tyrant imagined in constant pursuit of appeasement. I have tried to relate to an angry wife not wanting a relationship thinking herself superior. This was impossible and led to divorce. How would it not ultimately lead to divorce if our angry God was real. We could imagine sacrificing our children would make Him happy but on what basis could we hope. This God could care less if we existed or not, lived or died. He can’t even view us as a chattel concern because there is no threat of another power to remove us from His government and He could always create again. But the true God created us in love to have a relationship with Him and that changes all ideology and values. It controls His approach to us even through His power. Christ is proof of this absolutely.
Bless You Brother 2-15-10
Balaam knew even in his wicked heart that he could not curse what God had blessed. That is why it is easy for me to bless you. You may humbly say you have done nothing to wrought this honor and point all the glory to Christ. This is wise and true but not the complete story. For it is the faith of Christ that can trust God and confidently say “into your hands I commit my spirit.” It is still your choice brother though supplied with all you lack to surrender your spirit. I have noticed you do this and what a great sight it is. Not just for your honor but to see again in the human condition God made manifest, God proven true. This is a blessed state where your strength is in Him (?? 84). Again it is easy to bless you. I have seen your tears. I heard your groaning. I have witnessed your blindness in the darkness of trial, still your faith did not grow dim. Like the light hidden by Gideon soldiers who with a victory shout smashed that which kept the light hidden. This is your promise and who can prevent it. I have measured the powers levied against you and found them lacking. Do not fret the work of the wicked for in their senseless folly they have brought you God’s promotion. Though you look for trophies of faith and only see the devastation of war you have gained more. For the bosom of the Lord has become your pillow and His lips a comfort to your ears. All you have heard is true and in God’s favor you are known, you are loved, you are blessed. “Bless you brother” I only repeat original words of the throne. You have not yet imagined the treasure within your promises. Oh how you will dance and make music to joy the heavens. Out of the perceptions of forsakenness your soul cries of the truths of God’s faithfulness like Psalms 22, Your witness is true. I say “Amen.” The perfect storm of your deliverance has left the portholes of heaven it shall not return until it has nourished that seed of faith you planted and rained a saturating blessing upon all you can name. This summer storm is for you, is a gift, is God’s way, is God’s exit. Bless you brother.
It’s Been Said 2-14-10
It’s been said the eyes are the window to the soul. Yet behind them great mysteries still remain the greatness and wretchedness of this man love and grace, pride, and lust, flow through the same hand. It’s been said God helps those who help themselves, yet what use is this God to the helpless. Though I can reason right-wrong, evil and good, my will being servant not master is understood. It’s been said love is blind, yet what a silly notion of indifferences this must be, for if these mysteries within me can never be known, then I am darkness, an abyss, an unknown. It’s been said all men must die, yet all I want to do is live.
Changing Appeal 2-11-10
As you have been noticed there is a prophecy that touches on our deliverance that Scott and I are trusting in. The appeal was not fitting within this window so it was not considered. But in recent developments this may no longer be the case. Of course What I’m now seeing is the development of kind of a perfect storm of deliverance. Much had to change just to see this and much out or our control will have to develop perfectly but the hand of this Lord is apparent. I can now say as I have always said in faith that we will prevail but now through my reasons. It is not as if merely an when that confronts us. This is not a lay down where sloth is effective. It is still war but tactical weapons have developed and must be deployed. It is m greatest desire that the Lord will use Dorean as a modern example of His power and effectiveness while proving again trusting Him is warranted. If this occurs it matters not for I am not the defender of God. He is mine. Regardless I have my joy and my proof that Christ is trustworthy. Though the chances are appealing His changelessness is the true delight.
Sitting In Judgment 2-11-10
I have finally discovered in the annals of witchcraft that is called law in this country what crime has been committed against Scott, Donean, and I, and ultimately all the clients. I have been able to from first instance know I was being victimized but was lost in the effects instead of the cause. The tragedy in all this is that all those from Alsap to the fruit inspectors will continue to think a criminal got away with one when this casa is overturned. They are so wise in their judgments that they cannot confess of their own criminal conduct. Still the Lord proves He is a deliverer from wickedness and no hope is blossomed in their hearts and no repentance in their spirit. This is our lot without God. We are criminal injure innocence and then are offended if their innocence prevails. Not one “I’m sorry” will ever reach my ears. Not one “God forgive me” will reach the Lord’s. This case was on the large seals the corruption in each of our hearts where we all sit as judges. The best ending to this story is for all to come to the truth of God and His judgment. Though all the evidence is squarely before everybody’s eyes, blind men will not see it nor cry unto God for His merciful healing.
Trophies Of Faith 2-09-10
Scott and I have discussed many times our desire to return a trophy for our faith. I think this a noble exercise though none of our imaginations came to pass. Looking upon a battlefield and desiring some trophy to say you prevailed for the warrior seems natural. Unfortunately spiritual warfare can have strange rules of engagement. That was the case with Dorean. We were to suffer total devastation and losses of every major battle. This was not as difficult as it sounds. Knowing you have already won the war in Christ Jesus makes the loss of battles more than tolerable, even joyful. But at the end of this exercise is an interesting revelation. Faith is a trophy unto itself. The very battles that caused us to seek a trophy of faith gave us the faith in substance. But faith as precious a gift it is and as glorious a trophy it becomes offers and yields even a greater price and treasure. For the hope of true faith is Christ Himself. To posses Him in the intimacy of a warm and tender relationship filled with love make trinkets of memorabilia completely forgettable. I think arriving at this trophy may very well change forever the way I look at battles in the future. I will know I posses the greatest trophy in advance. In fact I will advance under the banner of Christ Himself, for the battle is the Lord’s. In this light I’m my beloved’s and He is mine and both are the treasured trophy of the other. Isn’t love grand?
Great Power Meets Greater 2-02-10
It has been said that “necessity is the mother of invention,” but I have discovered another mother. Great power is the mother of great domination. I have been exposed to Alsup’s great power and offended him when I revealed to him the relative domination. But have we all not this flow? Recently I felt called to pray for a man, stranger to me. I felt the unction to a specific time and place that this prayer should take place and felt this God’s will. Well, though this guy had a need he did not share the revelation of God’s unction within me. My first response was what arrogance for him to dictate to God time and place. This judgment gave me power over him in that I would not pray for him under his terms. With this great power comes great domination. It is the same practice of all the fruit inspectors who have passed through this blog. When I went to the Lord with love for me and judgment for him I was confronted with the hypocrisy truly I needed to remove the log from my own eyes before I addressed the splinter in his. Besides love desires relationship. Relationships require communication not acts of presumption. I judged arrogance but truly I have no idea of his motivations. What if they are sound? What if he was shy or fearful? Wouldn’t love reach to his weakness instead of crushing him with condemnation? David in psalms 26:6 looks to his own sins and to the Lord. Not to his power. I chose to do the same and resolution and love prevailed. God was honored.
Habitual Liar 2-01-10
One thing fasting can teach you is the habits of the flesh. It is amazing how the body rants against this truth “man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” If one spent any time in fellowship with God enough to know His words they could easily recognize that their body was a habitual liar. I am surrounded by creatures of habit. All day I can watch gang members, Muslims, Christians, blacks, whites, Pisa’s, sick, and staff all behave according to fleshly presumptions. None take a moment of spiritual pause to even challenge these presumptions for facts or truth. The 5 senses are the height of knowledge even though they never react the threshold of God’s word. I’ve always questioned out of my farting if my doubts are like the flesh, a habitual liar. As I’ve moved into the intimacy of God’s love relationship many of my doubts have been exposed as frauds. What’s funny is the doubts always turn to the lying flesh for confirmation. Nothing like having a liar vouch for the veracity of your claim. Ironically it is an internal exercise very similar to what has become the acceptable forum of litigation. Liars are validated by rhetoric, worthless and meaningless oaths. Like witches they conjure truth as a recipe of words formatted in ritual instead of context and fact. But truth is a wonderful substance that never changes because it flows from the love and character of a changeless God. Relating to this personality is where truth will expose all liars including the habitual ones. In fact, if one picks up the habit of dwelling with God’s life happens, and that life is abundantly full of truth, a truth that will supply bread for the flesh and the soul.
The Reliability Of Love 1-21-10
In the biblical Greek the word “Agape” was used to describe the love of God. It has been defined as an unconditional love. Though I can appreciate the sentiment behind this definition I consider it too vague to help me comprehend this love. A better definition for me would be a love always functioning within the quality of itself. This love is not object oriented but finds its quality of character from origin or source. Concerning God’s love we now have a love that is always consistent with its source regardless of the object. Since our knowledge of human kind brings us to a conclusion or unmerited conditions from the objective point of view this love appears unconditional. But to ponder this love from the source with the help of revelation from the person of God we will find some conditions. One condition is that it must be of the quality of the person of God. God must be of a nature to which this love is inherent within His being. Love is a quality only relevant to relationships. Therefore this source must have some quality of relationship within His being for this quality of love to be relevant at source before any creational relations. Second the love must be as timeless and changeless as the originator. Third this love of God must possess all the “omni” traits as its origin. It can not be conditioned from within creation but must be conditioned upon creation and present at all time and space as God possess. Last its affections must be “super” to the needs of the object in all the same ways the origin is “super” to creation. One only has to look to the relation between Father, Son and Holy Spirit to understand the conditions, quality, and behavior of this love. Christ as a man could judge this love reliable. Reliable enough to know His prayers were answered, His compassion were sanctioned, and His life was secure. It is this quality of love that overrides my nature which in contrary manner seeks self to be walked off from source and all other relations. This love moves as Christ through me to lavish in the style only known at the source. Prayers are answered, compassions are sanctioned and my life is secure. Are you aware of the reliability of this love? If so does it testify of itself? God is loving to which the many gifts we have received can be compiled as evidence. But the greatest display of this love is not the gifts but the giver. He gave Himself which was all His love “super” to creation, “super” to any need ever to appear.
Proof 1/19/10
There are many proofs of God and His work through Christ. Pascal listed 5 I have shared with you: (1) Morality, (2) Doctrine, (3) Miracles, (4) Prophecies, (5) Types. Each of these Christ confirmed as ways to know He is God incarnate. Many have accused me as having a Messiah complex to which I declared to be false and that my profession was to have a complex Messiah. Though He be complex the nature of love by which He functions can be simply understood. Love is unique in that all counterfeits are easily distinguished by the original. The love of Christ that established His completed work is still active among men today. Men such as fruit inspectors like Pat Robertson say foolish things like Haiti suffered devastation because they made a pact with the devil to throw off the French. This logic is devoid of any real knowledge of God’s love. Every one of Pascal’s proofs is a byproduct of God’s love. It is God supplying evidence of His love to justify your reliance upon its trustworthiness. Christ used miracles of kindness not earthquakes to vouch for His credibility. He said if you don’t believe my words believe the works. Also He spoke of things to come before they occurred. Out of that style of God’s love I now prophesy a miracle made known to me. As you know these blogs have the date they were authored and the date they were posted. On Feb. 20, 2010, a man born with a cleft pallet will be healed. Missing teeth will be restored. This man is a convict who does not deserve this mercy, nor do you deserve another witness that Christ is the Messiah of God. Yet he still gives His proof and still expresses His loving kindness. I will pray for this man. I, who am the least of all my critics, I too am a condemned man unrighteous. No good thing can come from me. I am a fraud and all my motives are suspect. Your judgments are true so then how do you judge this work? Can a wicked man tell you of a good work in advance or heal another wicked man of a defect from birth? If not how do you explain it away? How can I be confident in what I have proclaimed this day? The answer is love. God’s love once understood behaves as love should behave. If one should surrender one’s soul over to the dictates of this love it will gain insight that transcends time and evil. I will not send you reports of how God’s love worked here in prison. Let the works find you. I have my proof and I am confirmed in this love. I don’t have fears that a perfect love cast away. Will you see the works of God’s love entering your prisons or are you too righteous a judge for facts and evidence. God knows we have enough of those for countless generations. Maybe we all suffer a little too much Alsup within us.
7 Feast 1 Truth 1/19/10
In the Jewish culture 7 Feast were established as Holy convocations to be observed. Observing these feasts in their type or allegorical meaning reaffirms this solitary truth of Christ as God incarnate. The gospel (good news) message was and is that God condescended to lift a fellow creature into a loving relationship within the Godhead. This initiation is God generated and God executed. These feast established this truth. In the Jewish culture that had a civil new year or calendar and a spiritual new year or calendar. Based upon the selection the order of these feasts would be determined. In the spiritual year Passover is first. Let us use this calendar as reference.
Passover: Is God supplying a propitiation remedy to death. Christ is the fulfillment. God here does the work.
Unknown Breed: This is the type of removal from the sins of man. Christ again fulfills this type by His burial for 3 days.
First Fruits: This was fulfilled by Christ on resurrection day. He rose as the first over comer and the gateway for all who would follow.
Harvest: Pentecost, the Holy Spirit arrives to remind and confirm the witness of the work of Christ. Still man has contributed nothing to his salvation.
Trumpets: Here the blasting proclamation of redemption is heralded with silver trumpets. Now the complete work of Christ with the aid of the Holy Spirit makes its testimony known to man individually and collectively. Revelation happens in upon us. Interestingly this is the fifth feast in our order the number for grace. The gospel revealed is grace to mankind.
Atonement: This is our Sixth Feast and six being the number for man. Finally, the completed work of Christ has been revealed to us through the proclamation of redemption and we enter a valley of decision. Will we accept the loving invitation or reject. Will we take His atonement or face Him as a rebel? If the acceptance occurs our 7th Feast arrives.
Tabernacles: Dwelling with God. Not as creature/creator but in the intimacy of husband and wife.
This has been a very cursory review but a complete analysis would only not you greater revelation that Christ did all the work and any religion that demises or adds to this work. is ignorant of the nature, value, and potency of that work. 7 Feast proclaims the sole message of the goodness that Christ sought you out and made a way of provision to supply all you lacked.

Trust 12-14-09
If there has been any one thing I have desired to inculcate to your knowledge through this display of my life and Dorean in my blog writings is that God’s love is real and His person is trustworthy. Dorean has attracted very powerful enemies. Their evil intentions appear to be unimpeded. This perception can only come to these ignorant of God and His style and plan. The crucifixion under the same perception misses God’s involvement in addressing the nature of sin which destroys us. A loving Creator protecting His creation like parent would a child. This was not a wrath of vengeance but of purification. This one truth exposes all my critics who have judged me by their righteousness not of God. This purification is a foremost thought in all His loving acts. Dorean challenged money frauds. First it was the bonker’s fraud. Then, the moral fraud of the government, and in the clients. Last it challenges the spiritual fraud which causes you to misunderstand your suffering and the overall Dorean trail. If you were trying to get over on the banks your motives put you in check so you think Dorean is a punishment. If you think you’re good you can’t reconcile this suffering to your behavior so you blame me and question my integrity. If you are lazy you don’t study the issues to their logical conclusions and become apathetic and indifferent hoping only to survive the event. If you are well informed you may have concluded by the strength of the enemy you can’t fight city hall and want to distance yourself from the issues. The truth of the matter is everyone of these calculations and their variable are all fraud. The spiritual reality is that God’s motives are not measured by your knowledge of good and evil. He is a nurturing parent, a loyal friend, a brother, husband, and lover. Every relationship runs on the rails of love and trust. We have been created with this freewill capacity and desire so when God reveals His love towards us we can love Him back. Love must have trust. “The satanic presumption is that men and women cannot love God for His own sake.” Jesus showed us perfectly the way of trusting God’s love; “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Admittedly I did not settle so easily into this peaceful state of well-being resting in a perfected love. But the more you do the more your understanding increases. I can clearly see Dorean as a love gift with many facets. The most important one being a gift of revelation of God’s love. Others are not the truth falling prey to the lie but the truth overcoming a myriad of lies. That His care was not absent through the suffering but the suffering was evidence of very profound care. That none of these events are outside of God’s care for me or the clients. That love always prevails. Oh that you would settle upon his love and pout away such foolish fears and phobias. Don’t take Jesus through your life, take a journey through His. This trust is justified by one extraordinary love proven in advance.
Have It Your Way 12-05-09
Coming into Christ was not that difficult once revelations came. My selfish soul had no problem accepting underserved benefits. No hell; check, prayer listener; check, meet all my needs; check, etc. This toddler of faith seems to be the greatest level of maturity among believers. Look at my critics; they only know a Jesus that will powder their ass. I don’t like Dorean, bitching clients, or my personal sacrifice and suffering. But relationships involve on another. What do they need, like, and desire? I know Jesus, and I love Jesus. Knowing Him and becoming more intimate is my greatest joy. The injustice I’ve suffered doesn’t hurt me as much as it offends me because my beloved hates it. In the federal prison they have a thing called UNICOR. This is a program of slave labor disguised for political reasons and moral rationalizations as a vocational training program. Prisoners for .20 to $1.20 hourly wages work on military contracts. It’s ironic our soldiers are pondered as freedom fighters of righteousness and truth in uniforms made by slaves. The government has a profit incentive to make out bogus crimes, stiff sentences, and hypocritical juridical processes. We all ignore and show these uncomfortable issues because we don’t give a damn about Christ’s interest. Our relationships are all for self-gratification. What I like about the evil that has befallen me is now I truly know what offends my beloved and can now enter into the fray to bless Him. That’s what love does to the other when it comes into contact with things that disturb or are important to their beloved. Stop with this toddler expectations and treating Jesus like some genie. Who cares what Jesus would do (WWJD). If you care about Jesus and what concerns Him the better questions is what would Jesus have me do? The answer for me is simple; oppose injustice, fraud, and with courageous faith diminish and defeat it so it cannot be so easily practiced. Oh, I thank God for Alsup in more ways than you can imagine.

The Mandate, 10/25/10
Kurt F. Johnson and Dale S. Heineman (hereinafter "Johnson," "Heineman"), Johnson filing as next friend for Heineman, hereby moves to recall the mandate and in support thereof:
Extraordinary Circumstances Exist
Extraordinary circumstances are defined as "an unusual set of facts that are not commonly associated with a particular thing or event." Black's law Dictionary, abridged 7th Ed. "The Court of appeals are recognized to have inherent power to recall their mandate..., however, the power can be exercised only in extraordinary circumstances." Calderon v. Thompson, 523 u.s. 538, 549-50(1998); 16 C. Wright, A. Miller, & E. Cooper, Federal Practice and Procedures $ 3938, p. 712(2d Ed. 1996). Johnson recognizes that "neither innocence nor just punishment can be vindicated until the final judgement is known." McCleskey v. Zant, 499 U.S. 467, 491 (1991). However, finality cannot rest on a miscarriage of justice, and that is precisely the case here.
Statement of the Case
Pertinent to this action : The case in chief involved a single count under section 1349, of Title 18, United States Code; 36- counts under 1341 of Title 18, United States Code; and two - counts of contempt of court violative of section 401 (3) of title 18, United States Code. Initially there were 26 counts of bank fraud, but the government realizing there was no bases in which to convict --- as they should have with the remaining counts --- dismissed those counts.
A jury trial spanning nearly a month left Johnson and Heineman guilty of all undismissed counts. Notice of appeal was filed, and attorney Maitreya A. Badami was appointed who concentrated primarily on the district court permitting Johnson and Heineman to proceed without counsel at trial, and the trial judge's failure to recuse himself. Johnson continuously pestered appellant counsel to challenge the fraud statute's vagueness but to no avail.
Despite repeated attempts counsel refused to press the claim of vagueness and finally Johnson submitted a Pro Se brief. However, by the time Johnson was done fencing with counsel he missed the opportunity to have his claim heard. Undoubtedly Johnson will pursue this matter under section 2255. This in itself does not come without obstacles. Johnson filed a Habeas under the earliest constitutional provisions, and the trial court construed the motion as a section 2255 without the consent of Johnson, and completely disregarding Supreme Court precedent. The same occurred for Heineman.
Reasons for Recalling the Mandate
Recently, the Supreme Court decided Skilling v. United States, 130 s. Ct. 2896 (2010). Johnson does not suggest that section 1346, affects his case. Instead, it is the principle path the Court takes in reaching their conclusion that interests Johnson and Heineman. For example, the Court determined that Congress intended section 1346 to reach at least bribes and kickbacks, and immediately recognized that "[R]eading the statute to proscribe a wider range of offensive conduct, we acknowledge, would raise the due process concerns underlying the vagueness doctrine." Id. at 2931, n. 42.
Against this backdrop, Johnson points to section 1341, and any scheme or artifice to defraud involving money or property, and a question begs answer. If a scheme or artifice to defraud involving honest services has to be narrowed to bribes and kickbacks to save it from vagueness, then why doesn't a "wider range of offensive conduct" in section 1341, which has no specific conduct listed, "raise the Due Process concerns underlying the Vagueness Doctrine." Ibid. Johnson and Heineman foster it does, absent a narrower interpretation.
The mail fraud statute defines absolutely no scheme[s] or artifice to defraud involving money or property. In fact, outside section 1346 "Scheme" or "Artifice" remains undefined altogether. See United States v. Lemire, 720 F.2d 1327, 1335 (D.D.C.1983) ("Congress did not define 'Scheme or Artifice to Defraud' when it first coined that phrase, nor has it since"). Accord, United States v. Reid, 533 F.2d 1255 (D.C.Cir. 1976); United States v. Von Barta, 635 F.2d 999, 1005 (2d Cir. 1980).
The Supreme Court has specifically noted, "To punish a person because he has done what the law plainly allows him to do is a due process violation of the most basic sort." See Bordenkirker v. Hayes, 434 U.S. 357, 363(1978); North Carolina v. Pearce, 395 U.S. 711, 738(1969). This is precisely what the mail fraud statute does in this case. There is simply no statute in the federal code with undefined terms that provides the government with more unguided reach. The mail and wire fraud statutes leave to the government to determine what is offensive based on nothing more than their own predilections.
These statutes, as currently written, allow the prosecution a standard less sweep of discretion , so to, constructively amend the indictment nearly undetected. To literally invent any scheme or artifice, and call it fraud with no oversight. Johnson or Heineman were never on notice of any offensive conduct because it wasn't offensive behavior until the government waived their all telling legal wand over it. Nowhere, in any statute in this section the conduct that Johnson and Heineman supposedly committed listed.
The danger of the vagueness in these statutes is like no other, with the stroke of the government's imagination a defendant is taken from his family for 20-years and put in prison. "A penal code is void for vagueness if it fails to 'define the criminal offense with sufficient definiteness that ordinary people can understand what conduct is prohibited' or fails to establish guidelines to prevent 'arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement' of law." City of Chicago v. Morales, 527 U.S. 41, 64-65 (1998)(quoting Kolender v. Lawson, 461 U.S. 352(1983)). Of these, "The more important aspect of the vagueness doctrine 'Is...The requirement that the legislature establish minimal guidelines to govern law enforcement." Kolender, 461 U.S. at 358(quoting Smith v. Goguen, 415 U.S. 566, 574 (1974)).
As a matter of first impression, the government's authority to cast such a large net without any guidance fails to avoid attributing to "The legislature...An unjust or an absurd conclusion." See United States v. Ganderson, 511 U.S. 39, 56(1994). It is Johnson and Heineman's position that the vagueness in these statutes incorporate the absurdity doctrine because they facilitate opportunistic and arbitrary prosecutions, that produce absurd results. The government's use of the fraud statutes ignores' a sensible construction." Id.; See Also United States v. Kirby, 74 U.S. (7 wall) 482, 486 (1868) (all laws should receive a sensible construction. General terms [Such as scheme or artifice to defraud] should be so limited in their application as not to lead to injustice, oppression, or an absurd consequence."). This principle applies with equal force to a statute written with clear language. K-mart Corp. v. Cartier, 486 U.S. 281, 325 n.z(1988)(Scalia, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).
In other words, "[W]here the plain language of the statute would lead to 'patently absurd consequences,' that 'Congress could not possibly have intended,' we need to apply the language in such a fashion..." A statute is absurd "where it is quite impossible that congress could have intended the result, and where the alleged absurdity is so clear as to be obvious to most anyone." Public Citizen v. United States Dept. of Justice, 491 U.S. 440, 470-71)1989)(internal citations omitted)(Kennedy, J., Concurring). Regardless of how the court has articulated the principle, it is a long-standing one, and ultimately concerns the results of a statute that can objectively be seen as absurd and unjust. See Green v. Bock Laundry Mach. Co., 490 U.S. 504, 509-10(1989). The fraud statutes involved in this case are hopelessly unclear and fatally defective because they are too broad, unlimited and produce an unjust or an absurd result.
The government consistently shows it is unable to act with self-discipline by limiting the use of these statutes to actual offensive behavior. The vagueness in these statutes allow an unhealthy process of amending them by executive interpretation and intruding upon the lawmaking powers of congress. Such "Accretion of Dangerous power does not come in a day. It does come, however slowly, from the generative force of unchecked disregard of restrictions that fence the most disinterested assertion of authority." Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579, 594(1952)(Concurring opinion). It is the government themselves that create the extraordinary circumstance that warrant recalling the mandate, taking advantage of a vague set of statutes that produce and unjust results. The mandate must be recalled and full briefing ordered.

Extraordinary circumstances are defined as "an unusual set of facts that are not commonly associated with a particular thing or event." Black's law Dictionary, abridged 7th Ed. "The Court of appeals are recognized to have inherent power to recall their mandate..., however, the power can be exercised only in extraordinary circumstances." Calderon v.

Fraud Statute More Broken Than You Imagine
Dear Mr. Rothfeld
I read your article "Fraud Cases get Rehashed after Court Ruling" dated September 25, 2010. I am one victimized by these vague penal fraud statutes. My studies show the problem and fix to be far more complicated than the surface rhetoric being bantered about. The Skilling ruling was wrongly decided and will not stand. J. Ginsberg misapplied the doctrine of constitutional avoidance and expressed as much when J. Scallia baited her in the concurance to defend. He was right that section 1346 fails to express the behavior it condemns. (see sorich dissent 2009) What people are overlooking about 1346 is that it was an errant fix to the McNally ruling of 1987. They reacted to the courts redefinition of "money and property" to include honest services by enacting 1346 which is titled "the definition of scheme or artifice". A phrase common to all fraud statutes in chapter 63 of title 18. Scheme or artifice was defined by the McNally fix (1346) in the 1987 enactment to include honest services which is too vague to function at law and should have been found unconstitutional by the high court. Instead. I believe for economic and political reasons, they violated what they said they would not in clark v. martinez 2008 to "invent" as Scallia put it, a new statute in violation of the separations doctrine and trespassed upon the legislators. An act that will not be overlooked as your article notes. When the court in Skilling confined the 1346 definition to only bribes and kickbacks they were not confining honest services as everyone believes from their cursory review but confined all fraud statutes (bank, mail,and wire) to only bribes and kickbacks through the common language of "scheme or artifice to defraud". This is tantamount to a judicial pardon, which is very different than the executive, for all fraud practiced during the mortgage crisis. Of course with a judicial pardon there is no immediate release for the incarcerated or immediate assurance you will not be taken before a grand jury. It will be relegated only to those who know how to avoid all the prosectorial and judicial traps that are laid to secure an unjust conviction. For the few who will argue correctly and not succumb to fear they will ultimately prevail. White collar prosecutions are a darling of the this system and will only suffer a small setback why the government tries to limit the collateral damage of the Skilling ruling and to deceive the public with legal deflections. Thanks for your time.

Supreme Innocence 08/12/10
I know many are concerned by the appeals court affirming my conviction. Further to enhance to that concern is their recent denial of some motions. But we are only playing games of procedure. The ruling of the Supreme Court has already declared Scott and I innocent. Not specifically but by declaring that the statute we were prosecuted under doesn't reach to our conduct. the ruling of most significance was Skilling v. United States which was ruled upon on June 24, 2010. In this ruling the Supreme Court interpreted the phase "Scheme or Artifice to defraud" to mean bribes and kickbacks only. This phrase is the same in all the fraud statutes. The importance of this is that once an interpretation comes out of the Supreme Court Stare Decises takes hold and even Congress has to follow suit. There are many more cases to support this truth. Cases like Clark v. Martinez, Zadvydas v. Davis, United States v. Stevens, and United States v. Williams. The import of these is that once a statutory word or phase has been interpreted that meaning is to remain consistent throughout the same act. Since 18 U.S.C. 1346 was the vehicle in Skillings to define and confine this phrase the interpretation must remain the same throughout the entire fraud section of chapter 83 of this title. In addition to this issue we have a legally invalid theory incorporated into our indictment and a lack of proof of financial institutions. Under United States v. O'brien decided May 24, 2010. Financial institutions are an element of the offense and therefore had to be proven in trial, alleged with legal specificity in the indictment, and properly presented to the Grand Jury. All of this was precedurally deficient. The law has declared us innocent but the courts are doing al they can to prevent us from airing our argument. These tactic eventually fail and the law will be heard. Once it has been we will be vindicated. It's a terrible system that fights against itself but wicked people know no other forms of righteousness. If you do the research and get your hands on some of my appeal brief and my motion to dismiss the indictment in district court you will see the beginnings of this truth. I am saving the best for last and the right opportunity. What I can say is that we have won though you see no evidence of it yet. If you judge just by the headlines you will lose heart. I will update you shortly on more events. A lot will happen in the next few months to deal with the procedural hurdles. It still comes down to truth verses time. Scott and I are not persuaded by the time so truth will eventually prevail.

Perplexity 4-15-10
We are not the first perplexed by the portents before our eyes. Ezra in the second book of Esdras chapters 4 & 5 tries to find answers. How our hearts crave understanding. Ezra questioned just about things he saw with his eyes but soon discovered the eternal instigations were for beyond his comprehension. Even when some revelations came time because the question I find myself led in the same course as Ezra. It is our human nature. Over the course of the events before me in this Dorean process I was exposed to much perplexity about the events and how they transpired. In seeking understanding revelation soon made it clear that heaven was about much greater business than my individual perception. Once this revelation came my conditioned response was “how long?” The answer I received was just like Ezra’s. When a infant has come to term the womb rejects it. There is a time in the events of God when they have ripened to full maturity. At that moment change occurs. This did not answer my question yet soothed my concerns. I will get there and the end is destined. “What about me?” Also inquires in fear of being lost in something greater. But that is not God’s way for nothing and no one is too trivial for detailed attention from God’s love. Revelation will not complete one’s understanding or alleviate the need for faithful trusting but that is a tremendous revelation in itself. Our beloved cores about us and handles His affairs accordingly. Most often for beyond the reaches or our comprehension.
72 Hours 4-30-10
I have not done this before but I felt a prodding of the spirit to minister to one particular client. Do not be shocked or even surprised at this. We are but one body sharing the same head and master. A master that loves His body as Himself. WE are beloved, adhered and cherished. What part of this body would not sacrifice itself for the benefit of the whole. This client, you’re my brother. You have seen me make my sacrifice before you and know by witness of God my calling is as much for you as myself. To that witness I speak in faith as the voice of God. You have hoped an enduring hope that I would deliver you from your economic hardship. I have sustained you like the widow of Zaraphath. Never one morsel beyond your need. Even now the lie hangs over your head that I have missed your eminent financial demise. Do you know me? Do you know to what extent I have placed my name above all others and as a witness to each promise? The devil has requested your last morsel for he swears by it you will be crushed and your hope proven human. But he does not know you as I know you. I have seen your faith and how you love me. This day I decree to you my resurrection power. You shall find yourself impoverished with no eyes of expectation wherever you look you shall see no help. I will speak to your spirit via this word that I am your help and those when the Lord helps are helped thoroughly. Within 72 hours I will come to your rescue and no longer will you be like the widow. Your drought is the day of God’s victory.
Hope 4-29-10
Hope really is a two-faced animal. One is the emotional condition that under girds human fortitude. Two is the by-product of faith’s expectations. As a man in Christ I am familiar with both and more than I desire vacillate between the two. As your trustee I have tried to suppress the emotional condition in myself as well as in the clients. My reasoning for this comes from my experience. The human emotion of hope cannot sustain the endurance needed to obtain victory in the battle for truth and justice we face. Nor was it ever intended to circumstances create emotional responses in every person but only Christ can create hope via faith. This is a hope designed for and conditioned by spiritual battle. Faith possesses certain knowledge about God that speaks to the soul truths worthy of trust. God’s character always advances its promise upon the soul via faith and creates a justified and enduring hope. A spiritual hope that cannot disappoint. It’s function is to escort you to the fulfillment of God’s promise. Its companionship proving vital. This hope is what I desire for you and encourage with my writing. Alsup may be a man possessed with much conniving power but surely faith knows that God is a God of truth and justice. Because of this, hope can have a realistic expectation of delivery and vindication. Most inmates have a desperate hope for relief but it is purely an emotion that dances with despair. Don’t join this dance, let faith’s hope guide you to declare the Lord. Remember that I spoke before the thing and that my love for you is proven. Testify to my glory and to my name. I will make you a voice for those wondering the dessert of despair. “Bless you my beloved!” This is a wonderful testimony about to occur, please bless us all on this blog when fulfilled. Thanks.
Brother Talk 4-27-10
I have shared my faith in trail upon this blog because I am not ignorant to the way of this life. For most absent any spiritual sense my comments are a waste of time. For a few it has been fruitful and that is to our mutual benefit. Consider this difference between those of the world and yourselves. Every calendar in every society goes from day to night except the Hebrew. God’s spiritual truth is from night to day. This allegory is not perceived by a world spinning toward an external night but should not be missed by those who bear a cross first. Jesus is the morning star. Life is dark full of suffering. But as Psalms 30 makes clear weeping may last for the night but joy comes in the morning. Fixer one may be suffering unemployment and trials that exceed human fortitude, but joy comes with the morning star. What a joy it is that creeps into our night with divine strength. Blessed men go through their valleys of weeping (Ps. 84) who find their strength in Him. My hope for victory seems so foolish to those absent a spiritual calendar in their life. They know nothing of victory yet are wise judges. They enjoy the day without a cross but how long will be their night without the morning star? Our way is from loss to provision, from death to life, from battle to victory, from night to day. Every other opinion is a lie and not the way of God or His children. They judge by prolonged circumstances that night will contain us. But they know nothing of Christ and His resurrection. No other fact need be mentioned though John says if all was written of Christ the world could not contain it. We have all we need to exceed and excel in every circumstance. The night has no power over us. When Egypt was is a darkness that could be felt they heard God’s elect functioning in the light and were glad they did not use this advantage to avenge their evils. Our walk confounds this world as it should. They seek the power of judges, the wealth of Bill Gates, the lust of Hugh Hefner, the advantage of bankers, and the peace of God’s children but as their own god they cannot deliver themselves their desires. God gives us His desires and has the power to deliver them. Likewise He has conjured our night with every promise and joy is our portion. So when you’re weeping look to the morning star as I have and boldly profess the truth about His radiant joy. Much love my brothers and keep the faith.
The UCC And Real Estate 4-27-10
I have viewed a debate here upon this blog and heart it many times over whether the UCC applies to real estate transactions. The debate is really superficial and only deals with affects rather than substance. I liken it to a change of clothes upon my brother. The UCC being my brother whom I know and am familiar with. Now in every state of the union my brother’s wardrobe changes but my brother changes not. In Florida he may dress in the formalities of a tuxedo. In Texas in the practicality of denim. In California in a technical outfit for hi-tech applications. Regardless the UCC remains the framework or substance that makes all the varied affects coherent. Every state of the union has passed their own version of real estate law. Also every state in the union modeled them after the secured transactions of the UCC. Both parties in this debate are correct and both parties are wrong because one is talking of my naked brother who never presents himself in real estate that way and the other only talks of his wardrobe while ignoring my brother. If you come across this debate again at this level ignore it, it is only a waste of time. If you come to know UCC titles 9-3-2-1 and possibly 8 you will always be able to see how my brother functions in every varied dress. While writing this blog I was sitting before a window steel-barred on the inside and rain dropped on the outside. Before my eyes rose one of the most clear and large rainbows I have ever seen. All 7 colors were easily seen. It seemed to rise up right out of a forest. Now one can debate about its illusionary qualities and the visual refraction of light but wholly miss its real import. God in His relationship to man used nature to provide convenient sign that His promise shall never be broken. Superficial debates only puffs up the fragile egos of the parties. Truth on the other hand affects a man’s character. The truth of the rainbow and the UCC impact my behavior responses and that’s a conversation worth having.
Dorean Committed Fraud 4-29-10
I have seen another debate offered by the ignorant which I felt need to address. Dan Benham was one of our brokers who took this position and expressed the view that Dorean was an honest process until it entered the refinance portion. It is another superficial debate entertained by those afraid to delve into the tough questions. On the surface it is easy to morally attack this transaction but that phase of our process was not a greedy or fanciful whim. It was thoroughly researched, tactically designed and executed. Still to this day I am not moved by this superficial debate. The truth of the facts has the impact upon my character. My general disgust with the American adult is they have lazy minds and superficial moral development. When they enter into judgment they condemn themselves and cannot find the reason to expose it. The Dorean process absent the refinance is where understanding must begin. Dorean placed Scott and Kurt into a fiduciary and legal position upon which to challenge a claim made upon the equity of real estate situated within the res of a trust to which they were obligated. The challenge was based upon the factual contention that the alleged lender was not so as a legal fact. Rather they merely used a license privilege through some banking charter to monatize the credit of the trustor and alleged borrower. The creator of documents in this transaction was also the keeper of the books and records. They contained the factual evidence of the transaction. The trustees were possessed with legal evidence only. The complete understanding of a transaction is a proper interpretation of both the legal and factual evidence. Anything less is a fraud in some fashion. The trustees sued for the factual evidence via an administration process designed by and consistent with the self-help provisions of the UCC. If the factual evidence was consistent with the legal claim the trustee were as bound as the real parties in interest. If on the other hand the facts were not than the duties of the trustees shifted to other legal obligations. Note that none of this has ever been (allowed) presented in any court in any jurisdiction. The refi is not a grab for money at the expense of an unwitting tender. That is a presumption never entertained out of Dorean’s legal evidence. Even if ultimately Dorean would challenge that mortgage it does not change the facts. Advance knowledge of legal process and factual probability is not a crime, especially when fraud is the basis by which they became relevant. If Dorean was a moral and legal process at its first phase it axiomatically maintains that position even in a refi. Any argument otherwise is a self-refuting contradiction. It cannot be right at one stage and wrong at another, unless the law or facts change and His behavior remains the same. Tell me what is the difference between the conversation of credit into real estate or cash from a moral, legal, or factual argument? Are the facts, law or ethics changing with the commodity? These arguments are ill-informed and silly. Do the homework and see if it does not impact your character.
Which Witch Is Which 4-15-10
Someday I will write a completed work on this thought. I am becoming more and more aware that the American body of Christian believers is altogether too infected by the world. Even the call to come out of the world is infected by blind leaders infected by the world. The best example of scripture I can see is King Soul. He was chosen by God but not by the criteria or desire of God. He was chosen to please the eyes and ears of a worldly people. To show them the predictable demise of their pursuit. It’s what I see happening today and I am brokenhearted over the church’s participation. Whether Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Tea Party or none of the above your vote is worldly. The philosophy that good people need to cast their vote to elect righteousness is a lie fabricated in hell. Only God can build righteousness and the heart of a man serving His God is the only one who can know how to serve his neighbor. The creeps running the government can never change without a new birth which is the provident domain of God. Further, supposed brothers came to court to testify against me. Even if I am evil where is their trust in God? Our court system is pure witchcraft. Never will you be able to surrender your Godly promise to a witch and have it delivered. Saul learned of this death by the witch of endor. Where is our faith? Even if this world steals your house through fraud are you going to God or the witches for your remedy. Let me explain further. Dorean was a God ordained venture. We enticed the witches to war by righteous invasion into their profits. We had no choice but to dabble in witchcraft not as our remedy but in warfare. As individuals our choices are routinely obvious. Divorce the world. In the larger scheme of things God hears the prayers of injustice and advances through various machinations of war. He will raise up a Goliath who is too proud to understand his demise. In these instances God’s rules of engagement can deviate from what He commands in the normal course of your relationship. Dorean did not seek witches for our remedy but were sucked into the coven by our stand. If it were a matter of just m life and not warfare my actions would have been governed differently. Rejoice that God has sent champions into battle. It is only proof He is trustworthy. When you are injured give it to God. He knows your need. Never go to these witches by filing or vote. The world is advancing to a destiny you have no part of. What concern is that to you? Fox News, CNN, Rush, are not God’s prophets. Obamanation needs a heart transplant from his creator. How are you going to assure that by the folly of the world? Yes holy leaders bring peace upon the land and evil breeds evil but that battle is the Lords. Pray, fast, prophesy, live holy and apart from this world and let God be God. If He raises up a Dorean thank Him for the gift and continue pressing for that high calling. A calling not of this world. Jesus died by political corruption and wicked judgments. Do you think He is blind to it? He overturned all the kingdoms of this world by the gospel message. Where is Ceasar now? Where is Rome? The righteous can still be found holding an office never given them by vote or delegation, it was a gift of God. The moral majority, the conservative right, the Christian coalitions are all a mistake. I truly like Francis Shaffar and his heart after God but his hopes to advance it politically was folly. Newt Gingrich is God’s man? Please! How about ethical William Bennett? God’s men are rejected by this world. They get strange commands that don’t tickle the ears of the populace. I had a magistrate name Brazil who claimed to be a student of the Bible. Yet, not only was his actions indistinguishable from the other witches they were more offensive because he was most deceived. The patriot movements, sovereignty, even the UCC are not holy. They are worldly devises to prevent men from seeking God. As you know I cam not ignorant of these devises nor do I promote ignorance but never will these arrest my hope from God. Do you read of Paul. He knew political and ecclesiastical law but that was not his message. He sang praises and jails were opened. He prayed and fasted and after shipwrecked and all lives saved the pagan chieftain of the island they landed on got saved. No vote, no planned mission, no moral contract. Only God’s work. The world is correctly interpreted as being in turmoil and Obama was right about brining change. Open your spiritual eyes and reason with God and I promise you what understanding you gain would never arrive by Hanity, or any self-righteous pundit. Cast our vote with God and perhaps He will show mercy and heal this land.
Jesus Is Still A Carpenter 4-15-10
Of all the professions available to a man I am not surprised god as a man chose carpentry. A God of love by His character would seek the edification of the beloved other. That building up of a spirit is well typed by our master builder. God was faithful to dwell in tents with His creation but only for a season. An unforgettable season. So much so that one of His mandated holiday remembrances is the feast of tabernacles or booths. During the millennium this celebration is obligated under threat of plague. God is serious about us understanding He is a builder. One who loved us enough to dwell in our wilderness tent but not contented to leave us there. When He had Solomon build His temple it was a type of the work He would do in each man’s life and with His church as a collection. (Eph. 2:20) The temple had 3 courts. An outer court, an inner court, and an Holy of Hollies. The outer court represents the outward peace He gives His children from their enemies in this world. The inner the peace He gives us in spirit and the Holy of Hollies the eternal peace He gives us with Himself. We are living stones in this temple still being built, His hands of carpentry are still laid upon us. Sometimes heavy and sometimes light but always with masterful intent.
Detailed Love 4-08-10
It is very easy in the contemplation of God to arrive at awe towards His majestic greatness. I was at this place when reading a Psalm talking of His power over the tempest. How He split the lightening and spoke through the thunders. Likewise I’m amazed at how the hand of God moves to deliver His elect. Faith seeing this character substance of God can have no fear of tyrannical federal judge or wild corrupt prosecutors. Does anyone really believe that Jesus delivered us from death? Death and all it’s cancerous tentacles that reach into every aspect of our lives has to be the greatest foe anyone can face. Yet, we tremble at inferiors. In the same Psalm it talks of God’s care to make sure the hinds calve. This point to me is the most startling aspect of God’s character. No matter how much awe is inspired by the vast look upon God it is this miniscule detail not missed by His love that overwhelms me. This fact alone makes me feel the safest and most assured. My need is not missed in all the machinations of deliverance. Dorean, foreclosures, and the spiritual welfare of every individual involved absolutely has a place intended in the love of God. All complaining is vanity and ignorance. Even when I speak of victory I know I am short-sighted because I have not yet grasp the fact that nothing is too trivial for this magnificent love.
A Truth That Will Snatch You Baldheaded 4-05-10
I am currently teaching a Bible study on how to relate to God. As with any relationship a study of how the other relates will advance your causes. One of the ways God like to reveal His character is through allegorical types. This has been our area of study for a couple weeks. Many rich truths can be mined from such a study. I think why God likes this style of communication is because it has the element of mystery. The truth is obscure yet easily understood by those whom He chooses to reveal. God could write His low in the sky, have stars singing His praises, heaven seen with the naked eye, and animals prophesying in every language, but mystery is a particular style that invokes trust or contempt. I am struggling with alepecia. Really a trivial disease that is embarrassing more than threatening. Yet it is no less a challenge to the promise of healing. A promise not birthed just for my personal benefit but as a type that enshrines a much greater truth about the nature of the creator and how He relates to us. Jesus is the focal point of divine and human relations. All religious deal with Him in dome form of debate. This is no accident. Christ intentionally made Himself an enigma to all living. One of the things history records of Him was Him healing of many diverse diseases. There were blind, deaf, mute, leprosy, bleeding, demoniacs, even the dead were raised. Now taken literally for what they were we still have a great witness of His miracle power, love, and interest. Who can deny the kindness and grace of Christ? But if we look at this entire set of facts for the allegorical truth we learn even more of the personage of God and what He desires to relate to us. The diverse sicknesses as a collective represents the fullness of our sick nature. Our souls are polluted by the foulness as seen by every possible facet. The mess of our being is greater than any single expression thereof. Christ using disease as a type wanted to show that He was potent enough not just to address a particular symptom but the cause in its fullness. No manner of effect from sin was exempt from His loving remedy. When we say “by His stripe we were healed” we are half knowledgeable and half ignorant if we only see alepecia as the need and restoration of lost hair as the miracle. I must trust for the healing not because of the promise alone but because it is the substance of the promiser, the promiser who desires a relationship with me. A party so lovely that every revelation of His character inspires me to love Him. Alepecia in the big picture has only come to inspire me to greater revelation. In that I am thankful. My silly baldness is making a name for itself as others take notice of it, but there is a name above all names who will make a profession from my illness that He is greater. It may be hair to the ignorant but in my relationship it is a truthful, faithful, aggressive and potent love. Hair to the king of kings or Hale at this point there is no difference. Be glorified!
The Heart Of The Matter 4-04-10
I have learned that the federal government is populated by the very cowardly individual. They have all migrated into a collective where they imagine their force is equal to courage. I may be what is called a dreamer but I imagine one man of faith who would be fearless can stand in real courage against their forces until they are unnerved and their cowardice is revealed. I can’t imagine what a group of faithers could do. I suspect they could lead this nation to repentance. I am not impressed with the constitution or the sentiment of Christians towards it. The holiness attributed to that document and the historical origin is merely fanciful. We as a nation were not founded out a relationship with God but in spite of it. Blindly we come into compliance with His plan despite ourselves. We have not matured beyond this state in over 200 years. Still we digress. Times are changing and time itself is coming to an end. Not like 2012 but like a birth. Real truth is crowning and a revival of hearts falling in love with their creator will bring on appropriate government. So much wickedness is now pawned off as righteousness today. All have lost their way. Faith should not be cast as a Republican or Democratic vote but as a prayer and a walk. We should not be afraid to expose sin, untruth, or wickedness especially of those in positions of power. They have lion’s dens, fiery furnaces, tortures, and contempt for God but God has truth, deliverance, and strength. Healthcare is an issue for a world out of fellowship with God. What matters to us, we have Christ and His healing. Healthcare will not purify a diseased heart. The treacherous heart is the weapon of mass-destruction. By it the government consumes its people. Our place of attack is obvious and truthfully at the heart of the matter. Don’t shrink back from the ridicule of fools, shoe them your power which the love of Christ advances. Our heart at a time our government can change back to a servant instead of a tyrant. I know my journey has been long and many have judged already, but how a man finishes is his measure. The cowards I encountered will have a sound witness to God’s ways and truth. I hope they take it to heart.
The Trusted Voice Among Many, 4-01-10
“With secret horror I daily hear them blaspheming the ineffable gifts of thy grace, and ridiculing the faith and fervor of the godly as mere imbecility of mind. Exposed to such impiety, all my consolation, O my God, is to make my crises of distress ascent to the foot of thy throne. Although for the present, these sacrilegious blasphemies only awaken in my soul emotions of horror and pity, yet I fear that at last they may enfeeble me and seduce me into a crooked coarse of policy, unworthy of thy glory, and of the gratitude which I owe to thee. I fear that insensibly I may become such a coward as to blush at thy name, such a sinner as to resist the impulses of thy grace, such a traitor as to withhold my testimony against sin, such a self-deceiver as to disguise my criminal timidity by the name of prudence. Already I feel that this poison is insinuating itself into my heart, for while I would not have my conduct resemble that of the wicked who surrounded me, yet I am too much biased by the fear of giving them offence. I dare not imitate them, but I am almost as much afraid of irritating them. I know that it is impossible both to please a corrupt world and a holy God, and yet I so far lose sight of this truth, that instead of sustaining me in decision, it only serves to render my vacillation the more inexcusable. What remains for me but to implore thy help! Strengthen me, O Lord, against these declensions so injurious to thy glory, so fatal to the fidelity which is due thee. Cause me to hear thy strengthening and encouraging voice. If the voice of thy grace be not lifted up in my spirit, reanimating my feeble faith, I feel that there is but a step between me and despair. I am on the brink of the precipices; I am ready to fall into a criminal complicity with those who would fain drag me down with them into the pit.” Jean Baptiste Massillon 1663-1742 translated by Charles Spurgeon. In this quote I find a true humility that seems to be lacking in the proud hearts of the super righteous that criticize my character. How quickly a tongue can be let loose to glory itself above God and others. Are we all so forgetful of our fragile place in the spiritual world that we fall confident in a foolish boast and cowardly to ward truth? I’ve made a stand against sin and though condemned cannot muster a regret for I do hear that strengthening voice and that voice has set my course. Yes I hear all the ramblings of arrogance but they do not steer me. What steers you? Can you identify with the heart of this author and the interfacing between him and the world? If not you are far too confident in your weakness.
Psalm 33, 7/28/10
I have been reading Charles Spurgeon's commentary on the psalms. On psalms 33 he makes a point I would like to quote as a support to our faith. One of the things this trial does is attempt to persuade me that the truths of God are a lie. Let this truth dispell those temptations out of your life. Verse 10:"The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought" (comment) "While his own will is done, He takes care to anticipate the willfulness of His enemies. Before they come to action He vanquishes them in the council-chamber; and when, well armed with craft, they march to the assault, He frustrates their knaveries, and makes their promising plots to end in nothing. Not only the folly of the heathen, but their wisdom too, shall yield to the power of the cross of Jesus: what a comfort is this to those who have to labor where sophistry, and philosophy, falsely so called, (I will add the law) are set in opposition to the truth as it is in Jesus. 'He maketh the devices of the people of none effect.' Their persecutions, slanders, falsehoods, are like puff-balls flung against a granite wall--they produce no result at all; for the Lord overrules the evil, and brings good out of it. The cause of God is never in danger: infernal craft is outwitted by infinite wisdom, and Satanic malice held in check by boundless power."
This is just one sampling of truth that pervades my spirit and justifies my hopes and faith. Who is it that can really content with the Lord? I know my enemies are powerful and full of craft, but my source, guide, and beloved led me here by His power and will deliver my by the same and no enemy has got a chance in hell to veer the outcome. Take courage in your faith as I do in the infinite wisdom of a loving God who places us in circumstances that build us up and not tear us down.

I have Sinned, 7/23/10
I have been given the gift of prophecy and been successful with that gift for many years. One thing that I always practiced was to stay away from personal prophecy. I modified this rule slightly by prophesying over my father. This slight modification had inherent within it the same trap I always tried to avoid -- that being my personal desires. Well it appears I have sinned in incorporating my personal desires into a presumption of God's word. This truly disappoints my heart. Not so much because of the personal desires being disappointed or the false hope emotionally being crushed, but because I have sinned and disappointed my beloved Christ. This is the hardest thing to bear. The consequences may be very high in that it may have cost me my marriage. This regret is not that a wonderful gift of God departs but that a wonderful gift was used improperly to the disadvantage of all. I owe an apology to Scott, my father, my wife, and all I mislead. Though it was not intentional, wisdom would have avoided it. As to the many things people suspect of my life and the sins they are certain I have missed I know I am blameless. As you can tell I am not a coward afraid to repent. If I had sinned God would have chastised, rebuked, and called to repentance. I repent today. I will resist the temptation in the future no matter how great to fall in this error again. Christ deserves better honor than this and those whom I love deserve a sound faith based upon the unswerving faithfulness of Christ.
As to our fight it continues unabated and even in apparent defeats victory is not eluding us. There was a recent decision called 300 reasons not to defend yourself out of the Ninth talking about a case after us. But about 8 pages we are used as an example. It is funny how the publisher of the record always gets to be the expert and perfecter of the truth. Facts don't matter in their world. In the end we will have the last word. And that word will not be tainted by personal desires. that God will assure. Bless you all. God is a sure word, a faithful friend, and a beloved.

A Poem, 7/17/10
I sought a whisper to touch my ear.
to take away an uncertain silence
The day did not bring it to me
and the night seams even more cruel
Still my fight continues without abatement
and i must languish as a soldier
War finds pain eased in death
but life just finds the war
Joy resides deeper than the shrapnel
and that which festers only annoys
Someday this fight will be exhausted
and Christ will be proven victor again
to take away an uncertain silence
The day did not bring it to me
and the night seams even more cruel
Still my fight continues without abatement
and i must languish as a soldier
War finds pain eased in death
but life just finds the war
Joy resides deeper than the shrapnel
and that which festers only annoys
Someday this fight will be exhausted
and Christ will be proven victor again

Joy
I sought a whisper to touch my ear.
to take away an uncertain silence
The day did not bring it to me
and the night seams even more cruel
Still my fight continues without abatement
and i must languish as a soldier
War finds pain eased in death
but life just finds the war
Joy resides deeper than the shrapnel
and that which festers only annoys
Someday this fight will be exhausted
and Christ will be proven victor again
to take away an uncertain silence
The day did not bring it to me
and the night seams even more cruel
Still my fight continues without abatement
and i must languish as a soldier
War finds pain eased in death
but life just finds the war
Joy resides deeper than the shrapnel
and that which festers only annoys
Someday this fight will be exhausted
and Christ will be proven victor again

The Appeals Court Affirms the Conviction 07/12/10
Well it appears all is lost and Kurt and Scott have been living in Fantasy Island. This affirmation is the product of the attorneys fostered upon us. It is amazing to me that we can have a trial absent any real facts and then have an appeal irrelevant to the damage done. Yet this is what occurred. I tried to salvage this appeal by filing my own briefs with winning arguments but through a little malicious intent the institution prevented them being mailed. before I could correct the situation the court had ruled. The record will reflect that my many attempts to get the briefs to the court were genuine and that they were timely to be considered on this appeal. Unfortunately if the court chooses not to act on this information I will be forced to file for a rehearing. The problems created in my appeal are of the type that should get a rehearing but then there are no guarantees in the law. This is bad news but not an accident. I know this will be the straw that breaks the back of most of your faith but that is a revelation worthy of discovery. I still cannot take any shortcuts and must fight for the prize no matter the personal cost. I can prove that Alsup made up his own crime, steered his own trial, and that the system has denied us justice if and when I ever get heard. That is the amazing hurdle. It is quite a system that protects fraud at all corners. But sending a fraud buster into a greater fraud is God's way. I am fine and will be fine. I have no doubts in the God I serve and your doubts will not move me. In the end God will be glorified and every fainthearted will be shamed. Even if that takes until 2027 for me I am good with that. I cannot stand liars coming in by force and stealing from my clients. I will defend and I will prevail. ABC Nightline is seeking an interview and perhaps God is bring us to the surface while our enemies try to bury us. One thing about relationship I have come to learn. Love is trustworthy. God loves me and you and He will deliver justice. He gave me the courage to arrive their and provided me to you. Soon I will be reporting on a gentleman with the same crimes getting his conviction reversed by the same arguments I'm using. His only advantage is that he is being heard. His reversal is evidence that mine is coming though God has a route tainted by malicious devices. If the court takes it up on its own to reopen the appeal based upon the record my relief shall come quickly, but if not years are more likely. That is the man talking. The spiritual man will remain silent and allow God to do the talking to you individually. Thanks for your prayers and support.
