PAIN GATE THEORY. Scorpio August 2021

In conversation, at times, I have often felt that sense of, “Why did I open my mouth?” I think that is what Jesus is talking about here. He is warning the disciples, on the other side of hypocrisy, regarding how a hypocrite might respond to the message of truth. And even though he is instructing the disciples not to give to dogs (any legalistic Jews) or throw valuables at pigs (any immoral gentiles), Jesus, in fact, gave them the very antithesis as an imperative: the Great Commission – “Go, therefore, and make all the nations disciples… ” (Matthew 28:19a)

HYPOCRISY is not something any of us want to be accused of. None of us is enamoured of the antithesis of integrity.

Collective consciousness the etheric higher power that ebbs and flows throughout connecting everyone and everything exists for the choosing. As more individuals choose the collective consciousness they become co-creators of a world that makes a difference for everyone by raising humankind’s vibration…

IMPERIOUS is the Word of God. It cuts through all falsity with vigour to leave the truth exposed for all who would see. The lies are washed away by the tide of reality when the Word of God rails against the would-be purveyors of accusation. The Word of God is a lamp, a guide, a wonderful testament to the fact of God, a beautiful assurance of good things here and to come!

If society promotes a collective accountability for the actions of others, are Christians accountable for the sins of others? Let us look more into the Christian right to take a part in the containment of certain aspects of social behavior. From time to time, the U.S. government seeks to force Christian acceptance of wicked behavior.

Christian ministry isn’t ever purposed or achieved in hurting or betraying people. It is always – and can only ever be – a process by which people are built up, encouraged, inspired, grown, and, principally, kept safe.

Jesus always operates principally through the Word. He is the Word. But his power comes channelled via the Holy Spirit. And when we bring the invocation for the Spirit to bear through his Word – the Bible – we find that we have our foundation for power, through poverty, meekness, humility, and fatigue – in sum, weakness.

BOOMERANGS of Australia are the indigenous’ weapon for striking a small animal from a distance in order to achieve one’s sustenance out in the bush. Of course, there are more favoured tools these days.

There are times and occasions and significant incidents and events and experiences in our lives which we should remember and make the effort never to forget. Many are going through difficult, challenging, and painful days, and thousands, and even millions are being faced with situations which they thought would never cross their path. As we witness and share our faith we are not only being obedient but we are being the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We can be shining in people’s darkness and we may be totally unaware of the powerful influence we are having. We are called to be the agents of God’s love to other people and that is an exciting responsibility. Do you remember that day when you first met Jesus Christ? Then, never forget it!

READING others is always an inferior task to that of allowing God to use others in order to read ourselves. In other words, there is such benefit in allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through others about areas of sin and failing in our lives. The opposite, of course, is to become fixated on the miniscule speck in the brother’s eye. There is no learning in that for us, really, at any time.
