Whoever hears my words and acts upon them is wise, and builds on a foundation made of stone.

The New Doctrine

 

Whoever hears my words and acts upon them is wise, and builds on a foundation made of stone.

 

The rains descend, and the floods rise. Hurricane winds beat against the house, yet it stands strong: for it is built on solid rock.

 

But whoever hears my life-giving words and rejects them chooses to build on a foundation of sand. The rains descend, and the floods rise. Hurricane winds beat against the house, and the foundation crumbles. The house collapses, and great is its fall.

Abba, Father, Lord God, humbled by knowledge of myself and human condition, thankful for the seed in my heart that seeks knowledge of You, Your truths, Your ways, and Your secrets to the human condition and its role in developing and purifying the spirit which inhabits the body and lives by Your breath. Breathing in the Your Wisdom of the Cosmos and breathing out the consciousness on this human condition as one with a discerning heart walks under the sun deciding and discerning for themselves which path to walk to find their way home, home to You. I pray that the seed You planted in my heart will grow strong roots throughout my body during this season of joy for Jesus, and wiser in Your ways and truths constantly discerning that information and knowledge under the sun with the eyes, hears and heart of Jesus. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

God overthrows the thrones of those who are disobedient to His law. My political views are those of the Our Father.

Isaiah 11:1-10

1  There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots.  2  And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.  3  And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear;  4  but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.  5  Righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins.  6  The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.  7  The cow and the bear shall feed; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.  8  The sucking child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den.  9  They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.  10  In that day the root of Jesse shall stand as an ensign to the peoples; him shall the nations seek, and his dwellings shall be glorious.
Psalm 72:1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17
Luke 10:21-24

21  In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will.  22  All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."  23  Then turning to the disciples he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see what you see!  24  For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it."

Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:

The Processes: Ask and It Is Given, Volume 2 (Unabridged) Ask and It Is Given, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, which presents the teachings of the nonphysical entity Abraham, will help you learn how to manifest your desires so that you’re living the joyous and fulfilling life you deserve. As you listen, you’ll discover powerful processes that will help you go with the positive flow of life. It’s your birthright to live a life filled with everything that is good, and this audio program will show you how to make it so in every way!

There’s No Such Thing as "Business" Ethics (Unabridged) Best-selling author and expert on leadership John C. Maxwell claims there is only one rule for business. How does a person judge what is ethical? Sometimes it’s clear. You know Enron’s leaders were in the wrong. But is it always easy to see where the line is in your life? What’s the standard? And can it work in all situations? John C. Maxwell thinks it can. When the New York Times best-selling author, successful businessman, and former pastor was asked about his thoughts on business ethics, his response was, "There’s no such thing. There’s only ethics." Maxwell asserts there’s one ethical standard for all behavior. And you might be surprised by what it’s based on. Did you know that a variation of the Golden Rule exists in every major religion? In There’s No Such Thing as Business Ethics, Maxwell shows how people can live with integrity by using the Golden Rule as their standard (regardless of religion, culture, or circumstances). Along the way, he delves into the desires of the human heart, reveals the five most common causes that get people off track ethically, and teaches how to develop the Midas touch when it comes to integrity.

According to your faith, so you will receive. Do not be afraid any longer, but believe. Everything is possible to the one who believes.

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

Faith that Moves Mountains

 

According to your faith, so you will receive.

 

Many will come in the last days, from every corner of the earth, and enter into the kingdom of heaven. But the self-righteous and pious, who thought they would be first, and yet lived their lives without faith, will not enter in.

 

If you believe all things to be possible and leave no room for doubt, what you ask or command will be done. This is why I tell you: whatever it is that you desire, when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and you will.

 

As you live your life invigorated by the breath of God, the conflicts of this earth will be overcome by heaven’s power: and whatever you allocate on earth will be that which is in accordance to heaven’s plan.

 

Do not be afraid any longer, but believe. Everything is possible to the one who believes.

Abba, Father, Lord God, humbled, troubled, yet thankful I come to You for peace; the peace that can be received and given to others in great need. For I know that You will provide and take care of me, and that it is only in the times and in the ways under the sun that I give up the peace I have with You for struggle and worry about things I cannot change. Help me walk in the peace of this moment so that I may pray for my brethren and companions’ sake and be able to truly say, "Peace be within you!" In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death.

Isaiah 2:1-5

2  It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it,  3  and many peoples shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.  4  He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 
Psalm 122:1-9

8  For my brethren and companions’ sake I will say, "Peace be within you!"
Matthew 8:5-11

5  As he entered Caper’na-um, a centurion came forward to him, beseeching him  6  and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress."  7  And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."  8  But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.  9  For I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, `Go,’ and he goes, and to another, `Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, `Do this,’ and he does it."  10  When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.  11  I tell you, many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,
