Wars that lead to wars

There were moments when spring held a magical wish. That caught between the harbingers of summer and the cold fingers of winter there came a time when a seed decided to grow. Now in that moment, it is said, the seed dies that the plant might have life. And if something dies then we who are mortal find ourselves mourning for the one thing we cannot hold onto. Life. Life is a question of seed and seed is a question of death giving way to life but of a different kind. As that seed matures it changes and change is like the wind. With it there comes warmth or there comes cold. And knowing the moment to grow is a question of season.

 For you who read these words you search, like myself, for meaning. You stretch out just a little hoping that you’ll find a solution to the next question. For some its like trying to rise up in the morning but you are covered by blankets. It requires you to cast aside the comfort and rise above them for you to begin a new day. New days are like wishes. They are part of us and they belong to our vocabulary but they are not always wanted. Like a wish gone wrong is a job or a marriage or a child that doesn’t live up to the expectations or hopes we had. And hopes are the key to opening new doors.

 I started up Earth House because I had a vision I couldn’t figure out. God gave me a seed and showed me a world tossed by war. From one end to the other I saw war, disaster, invasions, floods, storms, food shortages, media gone bad, people going crazy. I believe the seed God gave me said “Find a way to protect people from the coming days of darkness...” Now there are thousands of paths I could have chosen but I thought about earth sheltered homes as being the most viable idea. That idea built up into something that I had not foreseen. It grew into a massive undertaking. Each time I reached a dead end I prayed and asked God, “What do I do next?” and God and I would speak and he would give me suggestions and I would move on from there.

But like all people concerned about their task I let myself worry. I wondered if any one was paying attention, if anyone cared, if anyone out there had the same type of dreams or concerns. And if they did and if God had spoken to them then where were they hiding? Now I know America is filled with people who were waiting for the last days but I didn’t want people who had chosen their own path but those who had heard from God to follow that path. For if they understood that battle was coming then maybe they prayed and maybe they listened to when God spoke. And hearing God is like the sweetest of oils for your lamp. It brings healing and refreshing to the soul. And that is what I needed. A friend I could encourage with my words and vice versa.

Yet the years have passed and there have been a mere handful that have written and a mere handful that have shared their faith. Most get angry if I speak of God or my love for Jesus Christ. They slash the page or slash me with “How dare you” as if God were not interested in these things. I guess just as they didn’t understand my stand so they could not understand their own footing. They cast about for shoes to wear and ended up being barefoot and their sooty sole left them covered with dirt afraid to rise up above that comfort level of darkness.

Yet I know that there is a spirit out there called Sin and Sin desires to rise up out of the abyss and create a world under his authority. If you want to know what Sins plan is here it is. Memorize it for it will help protect you in that day. Sin is the beast and the beast will work with the man of sin. The antichrist. Sin plans to arrive on a motion of unity for all mankind. Peace at any cost. Political correctness taken to the next level. You see the only thing wrong with PC’ism is that it leaves God and Jesus Christ out of the picture. That might be fine for you but Sin doesn’t care. He’ll carry you to the abyss with him because you already have two strikes. One is Time and the other is Death. Now they’ve been marked by Sin as well but Sin wants to mark you with three marks. And that third mark is his. It simply means that Sin carries you in ownership and you are his property. Now when you belong to Sin his spirit enters into you so that you hate God and anything that deals with God. You already carry the Price of Sin but not the mark of sin. And the mark of sin or the mark of the beast can only be healed through a blood price. Now Jesus paid the price for Death and for Sin but he could not force you and will never force you to give up being a slave to Sin. But because you belong to Sin you follow him wherever he leads you and all of you have struggled with Sin.

Anyway if you want to know more let me know and I’ll write further secrets of Sin and things he doesn’t want you to know.

Now time is against us in some ways. I have been in war against evil for some years now and it is harrowing at times. But as I’ve learned from Hope in every harrow there is a row. And every row carries a seed of Wisdom. And from that Wisdom is raised up a new beginning. So never give up. There is always Hope and always Joy to those who seek after the ways of God. He loves you very much and will be your sanctuary in the day of trouble and in the time of war.
