Gaining Righteousness in God

 Righteousness is a specific concept.  Given we are defining it right, we are going to be flush with scripture.  Someone may be able to internet search "Bible Concordance and Righteousness," and quickly come up with a list of scriptures.  In understanding Bible concepts, another stumbling block people often have run into is making a concept abstract.  How does a specific concept 1:1 apply to life in 1000 BC or 33 AD or today?  Given someone is having a hard time making that 1:1 application.....they may have been wrong.  

Righteousness is the quality of being morally right or justifiable.  

Given a police officer did something that looked funny, he may be called into the police chief's office to.....justify and explain himself.  Christians are justified through The Lord Jesus Christ.  That was the STARTING point of faith. That was not the end.  Given someone was backsliding and wrong, were they really ever saved?  Did they really know God?  Faith is a personal relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ.  Jesus chastises and rebuked those he loves.  (Hebrew 12:6)(Revelations 3:19)  

Before Christ, a Roman may have believed he was righteous in Roman Virtue.  A Spartan may have been a kind of righteous in his martial virtues.  Saul the Pharisee, believed he was righteous in The Laws of Moses.  

- All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.  (Isaiah 64:6)
 

<sup>- None is righteous, no, not one;11 no one understands;no one seeks for God.12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good not even one.”  (Romans 3:10-12)

Given someone thought they were a good person, they may have been resistant to God, and been doing evil.  Apostle Paul and Saint Augustine were the worst of sinners.  It was a letting go of the ego, and an admission that someone has been less than and wrong where God's Spirit may be able to come in and be working in a man.  A man abides in Christ.  Abiding in Christ, some of God's righteousness may show through.  

A starting was the admission and repentance.  Faith is a journey.  God is hard.  Righteousness is hard.  

Addendum - 

A lot of sin may have been tied to the ego.  Men compete.   Men compete at school.  Men compete at work.  Men compete at sports.  Men compete in love.  How is the competition?  

What drives a young man to cheat on his homework or a test?  He may have been lazy looking for an easy way out.  He may have been in competition, looking to get ahead unfairly.  

What drives someone to lie?  He may have wanted attention for something he didn't do, or lack of attention for something he did wrong. This may be tied to the ego.  

What drives greed and avarice?   Ego.  Someone wanted attention.  He was materialistic.  He wanted to show off his cool new toy regardless of if was some sort of tech device or a new car or boat.  

What drives lust?  Sex is gift from God.  It is nice to be with the opposite sex in marriage.  Given the competition become wicked....someone may have needed to know he could.  He may have thought he needed to get his.  Youthful curiosity may have been warped into something wicked.  

A man seeking God, he drops the Ego.  Say "I don't care."  He drops the ego and the competition.  He seeks The Lord Jesus Christ, and is in competition with himself towards being a better man in Christ.  Righteousness doesn't necessarily "Just happen."  Being saved by The Grace of God, that may happen in a moment.  Someone may need to work on somethings in Sanctification, a process.  A man lets go of the Ego....what does he find instead?  Honor.  God is honorable.  A man may need to clean his honor.   

Question:  What are some things a man may need to do towards jump starting sanctification and being more right?  

A man may need to move.  A man may need to get out of his routine, and be away from bad influences, and spend some time alone with God.  Take your phone with you.  A smart phone, given someone had one previously, it may be a pretty useful tool towards sanctification.  There may be some apologizing, and confessions that need to happen.  

Question:  How are you defining Faith?  

There are a lot of words that are similar but different.  Belief does not equal faith.  They are not the same thing to be interchanged.  

Faith started with belief.  Faith is a knowledgeable dependence, a personal relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ.</sup>  

Spiritual and Other Dimensional

Given someone has been reading on this blog we have covered the Spiritual before.  The Spiritual is "Other Dimensional."  I am not much of a Mathematician nor Quantum Physicist. My math education stopped around pre-Calculus. I identify that the Spiritual is "Other Dimensional" like "Stranger Things."  I haven't gone much past explaining it more than that.  Recently, I have been watching the science fiction TV series "12 Monkeys" on Amazon Prime.  There are some interesting allegories there that work spiritually, good or bad.  I watched the TV series with God.  I started working out some concepts.  This is going to be some notes on 4th and 5th dimensional things.  

Three dimensions may be a measure of width, length, and depth.  A fourth dimension may be a measure of time.  For God, a day is like 1000 years, and 1000 years a day.  (2 Peter 3:8)  Time is measured by change.  The Earth rotates around its axis.  The moon rotates around the Earth.  The Earth around the sun.  Given a man was locked in a pitch dark room for three days, and no on brought him any food, and he was stuck there, he may have lost conception of time.  There may have been no movement.  Time may have existed.  

God has an hour glass of time.  In heaven, things may have been going slow, and in hell, things were fast.  The hour glass flips, and something changes.  Things sped up in heaven, and God started actively working on Earth in big ways so that people knew it was him.  

A fifth dimension may have been change.  Change is different than time.  Mr. Smith, he mows his lawn every Saturday at 10:00 am.  Change may be his grass growing.  Change is Mr Smith cutting the grass.  Change may be Mr Smith taking his family camping one weekend, and not mowing the grass, or mowing on a different day.  Change comes with autumn when the grass stops growing.  There are a lot of variables in change.  

I started thinking about this in the context of someone "jumping" or teleporting watching the "12 Monkeys" TV show.  Given someone created a space ship, and was going to "Skip jump," what kind of calculation would someone need?  Space is big and vast.  Calculating for change is complicated.  What was empty space at some period of time, at a different period of time there may have been a comet there or an asteroid.  I have been thinking about this and decided to write it out.  I don't know what good it does anyone exactly, at this time.  I wrote it out.  

Addendum -  

Question:  Is time travel possible?  

I don't know.  Someone researching it was possibly sinning.  They were trying to play "god," egotistically looking to change something, not accepting how things are.  Spirits effect motivations.  What was the motivation to work to research time travel?  

As far "12 Monkeys" the TV Series goes, someone was calculating space time.......and change.  Given someone was teleported somewhere, kind of blindly, he may have been teleported into a person or a tree or something.  That would be bad.  

Question:  What other allegories in the TV series work?  

I am on Season 4 right now.  There was a lot of interesting things through Season 2.  

There are hierarchies. Hierarchies are natural.  Some hierarchies may be: 

Child-Mom-Dad-Jesus.  (1 Corinthians 11:3)    
Student -Teacher -Principle -School District 
Worker - Manager- District Manager - CEO.  
A priest/pastor, he has a flock.  Were you in the fold?  

Your average person, he is in these hierarchies.  He perceived things in a particular way.  There is Freedom in The Lord.  God is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  In personal relationship with God, someone may be able to be outside of these hierarchies, seeing things more as God sees them.  

The TV series "12 Monkeys" it makes a similar allegory, but in its own way, regarding time.  There is something to it.  

Sand Paper Heart

 On Twitter, we are @manonfire63......On Twitter, I linked something about having a Sand Paper Heart, and getting the best of Satan.  

Previous Post:  A Bride Groom Part 1

The Question:  How does someone end up with a Sand Paper Heart......like someone was a scientist and they were looking to recreate it?  

Love is a complex thing.  Different people, they love differently.  I like the Five Love Languages.  People tend to give and receive love differently.  

Given someone was looking to empty out their heart, as I did through God.....they possibly love their parents.  I did not.  Your parents or sibling are possibly in your heart.   

Long story short, I deployed to Afghanistan, and lived there for a year, with fifteen days of leave. Over the course of being in Afghanistan, I only called home three times.  I left with no one I cared about to see me off, and I came home with no one I cared about to welcome me back.  

I have some pleasant memories of my parents.  Most of my most pleasant memories were sitting in the living room, maybe on my dad's lap, watching "Star Trek the Next Generation" or "The Wonder Years" or something.   Over the course of life, my parents were not in my heart.  It wasn't a rebellion.  I didn't hate them.  I didn't love them.  My dad was cheap.  He would rather be in his routine, mowing the lawn every weekend, and watching American Idol than to come see me off to war or welcome me home.  

Having an empty heart as I did, that is not something easy or something to be replicated, like someone was trying for it.  It is a horrible thing.  

The Lord of Hosts - Miracles

 Given someone was watching what God was having me do on Twitter, and then seeing some cause and effect in the news the next day, or something, what exactly was going on?  There are potentially, two types of miracles we are going to talk about today.  

The Spirit of God is like a train at a constant rate of motion.  Destination?  The Kingdom of God.  Sometimes, God may have set up miracles.  He just needs someone walk into them. "Stand on the X and don't move." Someone follows direction and ends up looking like a hero or something. 

The other type of miracle is a little more complicated.  God is The Lord of Hosts.  Your body is a Host for his Spirit or The Lord of Armies.  Before David went into battle, he consulted with God.  

The Armies of Israel: Before Going to War: Consulted the Lord

3. King David's Reign: King David is renowned for his reliance on the Lord's guidance in military matters. Before engaging the Philistines, David inquired of the Lord, asking whether he should go up against them. The Lord responded affirmatively, promising victory (2 Samuel 5:19). David's consistent practice of seeking God's counsel is further illustrated in 1 Samuel 23:2 and 2 Samuel 5:23, where he again inquires of the Lord before battle.(Topical Bible: The Armies of Israel: Before Going to War: Consulted the Lord)

God may have needed a minute to set something up.  David inquires of the Lord and is given instructions.  God does some things with his Holy Spirit or the Angels, and a miracle happens.   

Something to reflect and pray on.  

Addendum  - 

In man is "The Spirit of Man."  This may be The Breathe of Life.  This is a connection with God.  Jeffery Epstein was an evil man.  He had The Spirit of Man.  

God's Holy Spirit is something that comes from God.  

If we are looking to understand "The Lord of Hosts," and how God works, someone may need to understand The Spirit of Man.  Man is made in the image of God.  A Bible Concordance may be a big help to someone here.  

Science or Mysticism - Attraction

 Today's Question:  Is there a science or mysticism around attraction, and how does someone learn to see it?  

Yes.  

This is a dangerous topic.  Having that knowledge, does someone fall into temptation and sin?  To see, like being a seer, someone needs to be aware of it.  It is a dangerous topic.  

The Body of Christ is society.  Christian societies value virgin brides.  Given men were doing things more right, they may have married early and stayed married.  People may have only had one love.  

Satan, he knew things about God, and sin, and had particular knowledge and understanding.  Are you aware of the Salem Witch trials?  The working theory is that a man similar to Grigori Rasputin, he was part of the community.  He was more low key.  He led the society there, into sin, and a lot of ugly started happening.  

How does a man learn of a science or mysticism around attraction?  I was a prodigal son.  I was wrong.  Learning about dating, around age 25 or so, I went to askmen.com.  This was in 2009 or so.  That is a long time ago.  I don't know about askmen.com now.  It read a lot testimonies about dating, and looked at men who were successful.  I was a shy and reserved type of man.  I had been struggling with dating.  I started to see themes.  I didn't like what I saw.  Courting a girl towards marriage is a lot different than dating a harlot.  There is a different frame of mind, and spirit there.  Understanding a science or mysticism around attraction, it is understanding sin and spirits.  

This is a dangerous topic.  There may be a lot of pain there for a lot of people.  It is "A something" someone needs to be aware of as they are growing in faith.  

Addendum -  

David, he was a King. He was a war hero.  He was attractive.  Military men, in general, are often attractive.  In the 1970's, US veterans somehow became unattractive to many girls.  That was unnatural.  That would be part of society going into sin, and a Mysticism or Science around attraction.  

I was watching a Youtube short video the other day, last week, and there was a pretty 20 something year old liberal girl.  She believed that Illegal Immigrants were more beneficial to society than US Veterans.  That was part of a Mysticism of Attraction from the 1970's, that hung around.  How did she get into that frame of mind?  She was in sexual immorality with some particular people.  

Question:  Can you break a mysticism around attraction?  

I believe I have via Twitter, through the Spirit of God.  Are you familiar with the song American Pie with Don McLean?  Part of "Satan's Spell" was people in sin, blind and deaf to God, where Harvey Weinstein could do the things he did, and it was public knowledge, and people looked the other way.  

Satan's Spell was part of how Hillary Clinton was operating in 2015.  

There was a lot that went into that.  

Question:  Is a Mysticism around Attraction in the Bible?  

It would be part of Balaam Son of Beor leading Israel into in, and Baal Worship.  

The Song of Songs is in the Bible as a representation of God's Love for Israel or The Church.  Jesus Christ is a Bridegroom looking for a Bride.  

Are you familiar with David's Pillow Warmer?  It is all related.  

Question:  Can you give some other examples?  

In US Middle and High Schools, there are showers in the locker-room for after gym or sporting event.  Often times, the showers are not used.  In the 1970's and 80's they may have been.  People often don't use them.  That was part of a Mysticism of Attraction.  Being comfortable naked, around the same sex, it is healthy.  

There are a lot of interconnected facets to this.  The LGBT agenda and woke, that would be part of a Mysticism of Attraction.  Someone was working to shape how men and women viewed themselves and viewed God.  That would be part of Spiritual Warfare.  (2 Corinthains 10:5)

What is cool?  Someone in sin, he may have been an egotistical, self-centered seeker of pleasure.  He only thought about himself.  He wanted to be cool and hip.  What is cool and hip?  That is ego.  In 1700, being a dandy, like Yankee Doodle Dandy, that may have been cool and hip.  In 1975, bell bottoms and plaid slacks were cool and hip.  In 2025, people have been getting face tattoos.  This part of a Mysticism of Attraction.
