UNDERSTANDING GOD IN A SIN BROKEN WORLD! 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 SIN BRINGS SHAME, BUT DOESN'T BRINGS GOD'S REJECTION IF YOU'RE SINCERELY REGRETFUL (DON'T BELIEVE IN SATANIC LIES) 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 Talking about satanic lies, they're not peddled by satan himself,but by self-righteous judges,who see themselves better than others. By default,we all are sinners, if we weren't, then there would be no Immanuel and the Bible will be a big lie. I love the way Paul puts it; If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable. (1Co 15: 19) We are going to try see God's response to sin,self condemnation,shame and fame, and how He uses them draw us closer to Himself if we allow Him to. And it begins by realizing our helplessness without Him. 👉Adam hid from shame when he sinned,while Christ Jesus openly faced it on the Cross, leading to His glorification. For the Prodigal son,he used his regretful disobedience to illustrate God's character of compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance, demonstrating how He welcomes those who turn back to Him regardless of their past. But many of us think our sins are BLACKER than what God can accept and make WHITE(Isa.1:18) 👉Shame experienced from our confessed and forgiven sin actually give us a fame to use as a tool of evangelism for those who think it isn't to be accepted by God. It's the reason shame and fame coexist. What we make of them depends on our response. For instance, let's identify with the characters in Prodigal story. The story features two brothers, one who strays, representing those who abandon faith, and one who stays, representing the attitude of cynicism in believers towards others coming to faith.(self-righteous) 👉True fame cannot exist without acknowledging past shame. We all have some forms of skeletons in our cupboards that we had to empty before our current state. Hiding shame leads to destruction instead of authentic fame. Like I said, we all have our moments of recognition of straying. Both believers and non believers have moments of recognizing their need for God's mercy and forgiveness, often catalyzed by hitting "rock bottom" in our lives. And in such situations,where we experienced God’s Kindness,we should also be ready to share to those who feel alienated from God that His kindness allows people to realize their separation from Him and prompts them to return, which is a pivotal moment in the journey toward faith. RATHER THAN OUR HOLIER THAN THOU ATTITUDES THAT SENDS FARTHER FROM THE SAME GRACE WE ENJOYED. Unfortunately, our churches today are highly filled with this categories of likely selfmade Christians. A country music singer, Johnny Cash experienced firsthand, and it hurt him so much he wrote a song on it. In the church and the secular,every prominent leader has experienced both shame of sin in one way or the other,and turned it into fame,using it as a guiding principle highlighting the universality of these experiences. Embracing shame can lead to personal relief , while allowing the fame of being too proud to confess overshadow one's integrity and can lead to downfall. The examples of Biblical figures, such as Abraham and David, illustrate how their legacies include both shameful moments and fame. 👉 For example,in the Prodigal son's story, the feelings of unworthiness is a virtue expected by God from a gone astray believer and unbeliever alike. The wayward son's belief that he is unworthy of being a son reflects a common feeling among individuals who feel ashamed of their past sins and doubt their place in God’s family. Yet, God’s Compassionate Response eagerly awaits us... the return of the lost, even though we're being condemned by men. He welcomes those who come back with love and compassion, indicative of His eagerness to mend relationships. AND IT'S THE SHAME OF OUR UNWORTHINESS THAT ATTRACTS THE FAME OF GOD'S ACCEPTANCE AND RECOGNITION AS HIS SONS ONCE MORE. Forgiveness Is a Gift: God offers forgiveness as an unearned gift, stemming from Christ Jesus’ Sacrifice, rather than something one can achieve through their efforts. 👉The shame of sin should not be treated as a death sentence; instead, it should be acknowledged and brought to the Cross for healing. Concealment of sin leads to stagnation, while confession at the Cross leads to liberation and righteousness. 👉Christ Jesus’ Sacrifice transforms our shame into righteousness, allowing believers to rejoice in their identity free from condemnation. We are encouraged to boldly confess our failures, knowing we are supported by grace and have nothing to lose. 👉Permanent Acceptance: When someone repents and turns to God, they become His children, permanently accepted and welcomed into a close relationship with Him. 👉 Remember,we all have our seasons of weakness, no matter how committed we are as Christians IN A WORLD WHERE THE DEVIL HOLDS SWAY. We may experience periods of distraction or doubt, but we can always return to God's open arms for renewal and rekindled relationship. We should be encouraged that whether one has strayed or is struggling in their faith walk, God’s love and acceptance are constant and available to anyone who seeks Him. DON'T EVER ALLOW ANYONE TO CONDEMN YOU THAT'S OVER WITH YOU; 17. For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. 18. He who believes in him is not judged. He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. (Joh 3: 17-18) 18. "Come now, and let us reason together," says the LORD: "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; (Isa 1: 18-19) 🙇🙏!

Language of Desire: In Western society, there’s a narrative that equates desire with love: it’s the good old story of romantic love. Who didn’t believe in it, at least for a while? An entire body of literature, a film and a music genre, and a number of unquestioned urban legends have thrived on that narrative for decades. It’s fair to recognize that more and more people were awakened to the fact that this paradigm has rather been more a source of excruciating dramas and shredded expectations than nurtured fulfilling and sustainable relationships. We have come to acknowledge that, in the realm of relationships, desire leads to infatuation first and then to what we call “falling in love”, a condition which over time might lead — or rather evolve into — a more sustained, conscious, considerate, mature type of connection that we can call “love”. We’re doing a massive disservice to ourselves if we don’t find a constructive way to learn from and deal with our desires: Because desire is a compass. In all realms. Desire says: “Here’s what attracts you”. Desire wants, craves, wrestles, screams. It’s a pointer to something we don’t have — and wish to have. It’s visceral, intuitive, gutty. It points out what feels beautiful, interesting, mysterious. What makes ends meet. Something that, if attained, might bring bliss, satisfaction, pleasure, peace. But, if unfulfilled and burdened by expectations, it can also lead to misery, depression, intense sadness. Interestingly though, even when fulfilled, it can become an addiction, an identity, a vicious circle of fruitless search for purpose. So where is the balance? A truly ‘strong’ desire is holistically strong, in the sense that it is held in high consciousness and looks beyond the gratification of the perceived need. Awareness is its backbone: This type of desire is detached from the outcome: it points somewhere but it’s peaceful with not getting there. It recognizes when the place it leads to might be dangerous, dark and potentially painful, for ourselves or for others. It shows a beauty or a purpose that can be attained through different paths, and not necessarily the ones that we can envision today. Desire answers the question: “What do you want?” When we’re aware of desire and we look at it compassionately, we can ask ourselves probing questions, such as: what’s underneath that? is it something that resonates with my heart or perhaps it’s just the result of my conditioning, other people’s expectations, or the lack of a better goal, purpose, vision? How will I feel when I achieve that? Am I going to need to make victims on the way to that? Will it drain my energies? Am I going to be the victim of my own desire? Is this going to do any good beyond me? To others? To the environment? To the world? Desire will point out experiences, motives and feelings that we are looking to bring into our lives and that are currently not there. It doesn’t necessarily mean they were missing until now. Sometimes, we come across someone or something new and we suddenly find ourselves drawn to that by an unfolding desire. It shows us a new facet of the world we didn’t even know about: something we suddenly want to discover, explore, dance with. It’s time to embrace desire and make it a source of growth, transformation and increased self-awareness. Are you ready to follow your inner compass?

Trump Reveals Plan For The Ethnic Cleansing Of Gaza Caitlin Johnstone Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): Well that didn’t take long. President Trump has said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and relocate its population to US client states Egypt and Jordan, which would of course be a textbook case of ethnic cleansing. It would also align perfectly with longstanding Israeli agendas to remove Palestinians from their homeland so that their territory can be seized and settled by Jews. Speaking with the press on board Air Force One on Saturday, Trump said he talked to Jordan’s King Abdullah II about taking in large numbers of Palestinians from Gaza, and said he plans to speak with Egypt’s president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi about doing the same. “I’d like Egypt to take people and I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump told reporters, saying the Gaza Strip is “a real mess” and “literally a demolition site”. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing,” Trump said. The president said that this new arrangement could be either temporary or long-term, but one would have to be extremely naive to believe that either Israel or Washington plan on emptying out Gaza of its inconvenient population, rebuilding it, and then bringing them all back to shiny new homes. Israel has a very extensive history of grabbing land from Palestinians and then refusing to give it back, which is why there are so-called “refugee camps” for displaced Palestinians that are as old as the state of Israel itself. “Just five days into his second term as president, Trump left no doubt about what his intentions are for Gaza,” Joe Lauria wrote for Consortium News on Trump’s comments, adding, “He tried to present what he was saying as humanitarian concern, but only the most ill-informed person about Gaza would not see that he is talking about committing the crime of forcibly relocating a population.” Trump supporters will no doubt defend his stated plans as a compassionate effort to rescue Palestinians from unfortunate circumstances, because Trump supporters are chowder-brained bootlickers who would defend literally anything their president did. But make no mistake: this is the advancement of an agenda to end the existence of the Palestinian people in their historic homeland, and would fulfill the darkest desires of the most depraved political factions in Israel. Mere days after the Hamas attack on October 7 2023, Israel’s Intelligence Ministry produced a document proposing the removal of Gaza’s population to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. At around the same time, an Israeli think tank called the Misgav Institute for National Security & Zionist Strategy published a paper arguing that “There is at the moment a unique and rare opportunity to evacuate the whole Gaza Strip in coordination with the Egyptian government.” Since that time both the Israeli government and the Israeli media have gotten much less shy about saying that ethnic cleansing is the plan for Gaza. A few weeks ago multiple far-right Knesset members wrote a letter to Israeli defense minister Israel Katz demanding the “complete cleansing” of northern Gaza using siege warfare and attacks on civilians to drive the population out of the area. In November of last year, former Israeli defense minister Moshe Yaalon stated unequivocally that Israel was indeed in the process of ethnically cleansing Gaza. In October, the Israeli outlet Haaretz published an editorial titled “If It Looks Like Ethnic Cleansing, It Probably Is”. https://x.com/Consortiumnews/status/1883407696814288905 One narrative Israel and its apologists like to push is that this forced mass displacement would be “voluntary migration”, which is ridiculous nonsense. Obviously if you make a place completely uninhabitable and refuse to rush massive amounts of aid to them so that they can live, you are forcing them to relocate as surely as if you’d forced them at gunpoint. Giving people the choice to relocate or starve is not giving them a choice at all. Israel’s plan for Gaza once its ethnic cleansing agenda is complete is of course to begin building Jewish settlements there. Last year Israeli forces sparked a minor controversy by sneaking extremist settlement movement leader Daniella Weiss into northern Gaza so that she could scout the land for future use. Back in April a Knesset member named Limor Son Har-Melech stated on Israeli television that there are secret plans within the Israeli government to settle Gaza after military operations are complete. This past November numerous Israeli officials attended an event brazenly titled “Preparing to Resettle Gaza,” just in case you needed it spelled out even more clearly where all this appears to be headed. Trump’s comments help illuminate what he meant when he gushed about all the wonderful things that could be done with Gaza when speaking to the press the other day. “Gaza’s interesting, it’s a phenomenal location,” he said on Monday. “On the sea, the best weather. Everything’s good. Some beautiful things can be done with it. It’s very interesting. Some fantastic things can be done with it.” It remains to be seen if Jordan and Egypt can be bribed or coerced into participating in the empire’s ethnic cleansing plans for Gaza, but either way the last word I would use to describe those plans is “fantastic”. _____________ My work is entirely reader-supported, so if you enjoyed this piece here are some options where you can toss some money into my tip jar if you want to.
