Part 4 of 4

Sooo...what has always made America great is the loser and the fool. If we deny this and promote elitism we lose our communion with that which is perfect and discover what makes anyone truly unworthy and foolish. Striving to become perfect is not the same thing as accepting Perfection. To be perfect, all one really needs to do is be. That is not to say there are never instances of worthy Mastery, but what you'll find, should you become a Master of this or that art, craft or talent is that it must in turn be used to build up the Kingdom or it is as useless as it is harmful to the understanding of all.

In other words, even if your craft and works be perfect, if you don't care about what God cares about, you may as well count your entire life a loss...And that's the maddening part because what does God care about?

Hsa 8:5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long [will it be] ere they attain to innocency?

Innocency.

Luk 18:17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

3 Ne. 9: 22 Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto me as a little child, him will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God. Behold, for such I have laid down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved.

And the loser you think nothing of, may be assured his loss is gain...

Mat 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Much of what man considers success are abominations in the sight of the LORD. That's the thing about abominations, they leave the participant looking and feeling unclean and stupid and when that happens a wicked pride is born that must deny the Truth at all costs and work overtime making itself seem legitimate, knowing the whole time, it will never be so...

The only thing that will make us clean is reliance upon God. So that even a man knee deep in his sins has the right to hold his head up and hope upon the Atonement.

And all this makes me think of the fact that it has taken man ages to figure out that meat is not a very good source of sustenance. What men got out of the ritual of sacrifice was a dinner and nothing more. They didn't learn a thing...And what has America done with it's rich History and Heritage in Christ? Drive-thru fast food stations on every corner throughout the Nation. No one prays or is thankful for this, because it's a curse, there is nothing to be thankful for. Just hold your nose and gobble it down, there is someone behind you tooting his horn, get out of the way!

But the message was lost upon the Congregation because they had no ears to hear with nor heart to understand with. They thought their Master was wicked but providential nonetheless. Not so...

Luk 6:35b He is kind unto the unthankful and [to] the evil.

They were all like asps...Give us more wine and meat, we'll obey your little traditional rules, as long as you supply our demands...They did not see that the LORD was being merciful both unto them and the sacrificial lambs...

Isa 40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] shall gently lead those that are with young.

As the flimsy walls and illusionary foundation of social democracy come crumbling down, and the insidiously delusive "freedom" in which we all found ourselves imprisoned in, yet employed as well in evil works and labor, becomes more and more apparent, there is going to be an immediate and cruel imbalance in the distribution of power and wealth, and a lot of people who already feel the effects of this inequity in judgment and circumstance are going to suffer greater frustration and want.

They're going to be "cut-off." So shall their LORD. He would not leave them even in this.

Dan. 9: 26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

And the curse was born: "With friends like you, who needs enemies?"

It's their own fault.

In returning to the LORD, the Peace and Will to endure is ever present and one finds the patience and wherewithal to endure all things that the LORD may see fit to lay upon the least and greatest of men.

In returning to the LORD, Liberty would spread like wildfire, and the nations would come to the Nation that initiated the Change/Repentance, and not "terrorize" Her nor hold a grudge against Her or Her People whom they would see are greater victims than they thought themselves to be of this Nation, Zion/America, whatwillye... All would be ready, willing and able to heap blessings and favors upon Her and all cursing tongues would be stilled, and every grieved heart filled with compassion for and understanding of the Great Folly of All Mankind.

Despisest not the Riches...

 

Rom 2:4-11 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God.

 

America is also made great and strengthened by individuals who are willing to get out of the way, retire, fade, and grow old gracefully. Contrarywise, people unwilling to permit the younger, abler generation the right to reign who are worthy and able, are harmful to the growth and strength of a nation. We stifle the Spirit by clinging to tradition and sentiment for and of the vile.

By striving to become anything outside of the Church and Christ, people of America are becoming the very thing they accuse the Church of being-False and Hypocritical. This is how and why people must return to the Church and Christ, to fight the same fight they sought without, within. Ending the corruption and falsehood within the Church with the same gifts and talent they tried to use apart from Christ and God and which made them able to survive in the Whore for a time and Season which has come to a close at last.

The country and world has been treacherously ruled by people who love being who they are not.

Pride in the Evil is what increases crime, stupidity and perversion, making reconciliation and healing impossible and thwarting all wills, which is exactly what the Prideful Beast desires, because it has no will norsoul of its own, only hunger and cunning.

I liken it unto an enduring last dying gasp of a Creature almost dead, what keeps it creeping is insanity, vanity and cruelty, and a desperate "love" that is quite beautiful and alluring, and thus its long and historied success. There is also a "new birth" in something other than God which mars and corrupts allegiance to any and all. Choosing evil is always an act of self love.

Thus the perfect man is more like unto the bumbling, erring, happy child at Liberty simply because God is his Shepherd...and not the man who has become "perfect" in works of evil and invention.

Desire and Passion is/are not evil.

There is a chapter of the Book of Mormon 2 Nephi Chapter 2 that goes into greater detail explaining the circumstance of the choices and consequences before us in the Garden of Eden. I was almost led to believe that it was insinuating that some were predestined to choose evil. But I know such is not the case. All men may not be created equal, but our choices are equal- Choose God or choose otherwise.

Mat 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [his] fruit.

It is a cruel trick society and the devil play upon people, convincing some who have habitually chosen evil that they were ordained before the foundation of the world for such, when that is absolutely not so. God did not create anyone, not even the devil to choose and be evil.

He did choose one to make Atonement for all which has made repentance hard for the prideful, and this made the devil who he is, for he hates more than anything else bowing the knee and humbling himself.

Having chosen evil, the scenario is created in which one must survive in difficult circumstances. Thus, either further decay or healing are both possibilities.

God is always Holy and Good and thus He is able to heal that which has returned to the right and pleasant way after having gone astray.

Eze 18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

Alternatives to evil are wonderful therefore. Like sugar-free candy, electric lawn mowers, alternative fuels, and new things seem to be divined daily these days, which is fulfillment ofPaul's wish in Romans 8.

Such alternatives help those who are Holy and healthy in assisting those who are not and are feeling lost and lonely. So that rather than wallow in the mire of despair and self loathing being tempted to lure and entreat innocence unto evil and damnation, they might instead find a way to endure consequence and even participate, and actively or inactively be part of the Solution to ages of error and misfortune.

Unnatural Grace preceives and exalts or behooves natural grace.
