Conjurer

Near the farm on which I was reared, a small crossroads town, lived a conjurer, “I never saw the woman, only heard about her.” One man who lived nearby told me that large, out-of-state cars, would come to this simple farmhouse, stay for a while and then leave. One, a car with a Maryland license plate, stopped him on the road and asked for directions to the nearby city where they could get motel accommodations. He was brave enough to ask the occupants of the car why they were in the community. “We had an appointment with the conjurer, my mother in the back seat has cancer, we are looking for a cure.”

The dictionary definition of a conjurer is a sorcerer, or one who performs magic. Using that definition, there are conjurers all around us, particularly in places of government. Desperate people do desperate things, someone dying with cancer will go from doctor to doctor, hospital to hospital, Coretta Scott King, widow of Martin Luther King, died in Mexico. Many Americans seek treatments on foreign shores, not permitted here. My great interest in life, an interest which led me to study for many years, the healing arts. Still, to this day, my mental deliberations between the sanity of science, and the sanctity of divine intercession. I believe in divine healing, there is not one doubt in my mind, that God cannot heal, more than there is a doubt in my mind that God can cleanse a heart from all unrighteousness (Isaiah 53, etc.). The healing of a mind, the healing of a body, begins with healing of a heart. All over the world, I have witnessed the supernatural, often the mystical.

In Togo, west Africa, I visited a large fetish market...a place where you buy amulets, body parts, bones, etc. The voodoo culture is very prevalent all over Africa, entire voodoo villages. The voodoo religion came to the Caribbean early in the slave trade, and is called “Santeria”. Mrs. Obama's mother, Ms. Robinson, who lives with them, is a follower of Santeria. Mrs. Robinson had voodoo witches cleanse the White House before they moved in. Most people would be surprised at the followers of Voodoo or Santeria in your own community, putting a hex on you, or some other curse.

I bought a box of old books at an auction, in the large box was a smaller box containing Voodoo magic equipment: a jar of fish eyes, a jar of small bones, a jar of dirt of some sort. I thought seriously of using some of these “helpmates” against some of my nosy neighbors. But I did not know the words or the attitude with which to put out these things. Believe it or not, atheists consider Christians just as ridiculous in our prayer life, in our New Testament ordinances (baptism, Lord's Supper). Many have told me, in debate, that we whisper to an ether God. Why not bow to a Catholic idol, or kiss a bishop's ring? It is only when you have learned to have the courage of faith to defend the hope within you (1 Peter 3:15), that you are ready “to tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love”. I truly believe most Christians are just playing games with God, or with themselves.

Does God hear the prayers of the starving millions in Ethiopia and India? Powdered and perfumed, sitting on padded pews in an ornate, air-conditioned sanctuary, listening to a paid, trained-voice choir, accompanied by a highly-paid organist, rushing out of the sanctuary to a magnificent, technically equipped automobile, fussing to meet friends at an expensive restaurant, gorging themselves with expensive served foods, while thousands are hungry, not only around the world, but just across the tracks in the same town in which they live. Is this really Christianity? Praying and reading out of the prayer book just a few minutes ago, did it really reach the ears of a sovereign God? Or have we just conjured up beautiful thoughts in our own mind, for own on good, a product of habit and contrived happiness.

I did not agree with very much with what he said or his lifestyle, but he was one of the greatest minds, greatest Bible teachers I have ever heard. Dr. Gene Scott Ph.D, Stanford University, pastor of a large congregation in Los Angeles, heard around the world in short wave, came down with prostate cancer. This man was a multimillionaire, rode to his church in chauffeured limousine, but he believed God would cure his prostate cancer, did not have the surgery or the treatments to cure it. His funeral was held in the cathedral he served. Some years before, he had married a showgirl from Las Vegas, who had never seen a Bible, she is now pastor Melissa Scott, having taken over his ministry. She studies and preaches, wears a roman collar, and his canned sermons are play continuously on radio.

You will remember, that the magicians of Pharaoh were almost as good as the blessed acts of Moses. God does use broken, damaged cisterns, Saul was chosen because he was the tallest man in the kingdom. Perhaps, only God knows, Oral Roberts, Jim Baker have contributed in God's eternal plan.

We often hear about the letter and spirit of the law. God knew what he was doing when he designed the human mind, a vast cosmos. It is from this cosmos that comes every invention, every sheet of music, all written words, (thank God so many minds are exceptional), it was from the mind of Arthur Penn, director of many movies, the greatest, Bonnie & Clyde, that much storytelling emanates. Movies, soap operas, imagination is great until it becomes a detriment...monopolizing your time, becoming a substitute for your behavior.

Around 1970, “Big Pharma”, “Big Agri-Industry”, began putting fructose, corn syrup into 95% of everything we eat, this addictive substance, causing 50% of the population to have type-2 diabetes, which will cause 1/3 of all children to have type-2 diabetes, is a nutrition catastrophe. Until around 1980, most cattle providing our beef supply were fed on grass, they moved around, had muscle, today feed lots are full of cattle being fed corn, fast-eating, fast-fattening, a nutrition nightmare...much like people sitting, watching TV or computer all day: fat, lazy, never moving, never realizing that government can better train fat, lazy, indolent people. Not only a nightmare for the human diet, but the diets of your pets, hog and cow feed at one time had molasses; now, fructose, from genetically engineered corn.

For 2000 years, problems of pain and suffering in the world, minds of men change because hearts of men have been changed. My answer to conjurers, faith healing, scientific progress, everything else, the prayer given by our blessed Lord Himself, “thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10)

Hock Shop

#497

His mother said it was the worse thing a parent can endure, but she did appreciate the Governor calling and telling her about Texas's first posthumous pardon. Her son, Tim Cole, was sentenced to a 25 year prison term for a 1985 rape, evidence later produced showed he did not commit the crime. He died of asthma, in prison, after 13 years in 1999. It took 10 years for the officials to act. Each time he had a pardon hearing, the officials told him just to admit to the crime. He told his mother, he would serve the full sentence before admitting to a crime he did not commit and being labeled a sex criminal. So, after being denied parole, the evidence which cleared him of the crime was produced, after his death. Tim Cole was in hock to the State of Texas. The hock shop or pawn shop has always been a matter of history. You take an article to the shop, they give you pennies on the dollar, but you are desperate for money and you, willingly, let them take advantage of you...your camera, watch, ring, gun. Something you can get along without until you can redeem it. It is the best place in the world for thieves to get money for their crimes. My Aunt, Mary, was secretary to the owner of a pawn shop here in this city for many years. She said, “the police were supposed to check items brought in for pawn, but they never did”. The pawn shop was the best racket in town. One ex-mayor of this city, made a fortune in the pawn shop business. He, like the other liberal politicians (each with his own racket), lives in the most exclusive gated community of this city; basking in luxury at the expense of desperate people. One of my blind friends, Catherine, desperate for money to bury her parents asked him to come to her house and loan her money on some of her possessions. She said, “he robbed me, he even took my photograph, made when I was a small child because it was in a very expensive frame with bubbled glass”. She said, “I have no one to blame but me, I was desperate for money to bury my father. My mothers ring was worth more than he paid me for all of my possessions including antique furniture handed down from my grandparents which I prized almost more than life”.

In the Bible, in the Old Testament, in the Book of Judges, we find seven mountains and seven valley's. It is a rare person who stays on the mountain all the time. We all have our valley's...the troubles of the valley's...the absolutes of life...good and evil, health and sickness, needy and greedy, failures and fortunes...no one escaping the world, the flesh, the devil. Most funerals employ the Words of the 23rd Psalm for comfort Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. (Psa 23:4). Any time that God asks a question, he always gives an answer “LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. [He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his own] hurt, and changeth not. [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved. (Psa. 15:1-5).

Charles Hadyn Spurgeon, Prince of Preachers, in his book, has one entire chapter on tombstones. He speaks of the epitaph carved in stone pertaining to the troubles of mankind. Few escape, don't confuse celebrity with accomplishment, don't confuse popularity with political ambition. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (1 Peter 5:8). If only our lives could just be mountaintop experiences. I have been on the Matterhorn in Switzerland, Sugarloaf in Rio, looked down on Hong Kong from Victoria Peak, it takes struggle to get to the top of any mountain. Caleb, (whose name means dog), one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to check out the promise land, at age 80, said, “I will take a mountain” (Present day Hebron). At age 80, my mountain climbing and claiming days are over. If only I could encourage young people to get out of the valley's of doubt, despair, dependency, despondency, and invest in a life of discipline, denial, and decency. You have one life to live, don't spend it in the hock shop trying to retrieve things. Phony boloney politicians and the people who support hypocrisy in the Democrat political party are willingly bringing the wrath of God upon themselves. 52% of all Black babies are aborted (1452 each day). Planned Parenthood and the Rockefeller foundation promoting Eugenics are seeking to accomplish what Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg of the Supreme Court calls “population control”. A large sign in one town states, “Black babies, the most endangered species”. Reverend Jesse Jackson, was pro-life until he needed money from the Democrats. He like most Black preachers had rather be in hock to Democrat money than a pro-life testimony for God. Another slice of the Democrat vote, on which they can always depend, is the Jewish vote. How can Jews support gun control after experiencing their lack of defense in the Holocaust? Certainly, the Jews of Israel have not given up their weapons...certainly not when surrounded by millions who want to eliminate the entire race from the face of the earth. Jews are in hock to the Democrat party because of the money involved in the business world (entertainment, media, corporations). In the catapult, the Democrat party has placed Islamic Extremists and dejected Black Civil Rights Leaders ready to go over the wall of the American Republic. It is not just ACORN or the Congressional Black Caucus, or other Democrat political organizations that are in hock to the Democrat party and their endless funds such as the nearly 1 billion given to President Obama for his Political Campaign, but teachers, preachers, and even jobless workers who should know better. Don't they know that it is a satanic nightmare that people can be used to control other people...Marxism in Russia and China...Janet Reno at Waco Texas. There is a singularity of purpose in the duality of spattered Civil Rights Workers and Muslim Extremists. We simply cannot afford to redeem our country from the hock shop of American Liberals.

When I was a student in Memphis, I attended a Black Baptist Church. The Pastor; Dr. Brewster, told me the Black Church is bathed in a “wash-pot” of hypocrisy. In predominant Voodoo villages I visited on the West Coast of Africa, in spite of poverty, Black children were the delight of the society. Today, the Supreme Court is making a decision on gun control. Jewish children in Chicago need as much protection as Jewish children in Haifa.

When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown. Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.

Texting

I was raised at a time when there was only one telephone for many miles around, located at the crossroads in my cousin's country store. I'm told now that just about everyone has a cellphone on their person, even children. My only son, my only child, and his wife headed the SBC missionary work in South Korea for many years. He, like returning soldiers from there, tells me that the entire country, now, is a matter of technology. I'm a veteran of that war era and when I was there it was one big wasteland. Statistics show that 30% of all vehicle accidents are caused by people using cellphones in their vehicles, talking, texting, generally not paying attention.

When a maniac is at the door, even dissenting brothers will unite. The sovereign God of the universe continues to text messages to us. Mark Twain, born in 1835, the year Haley's Comet appeared, predicted he would die one hundred years ago in 1910, the last time Haley's Comet appeared. Kings, the ones with which we are most familiar at Bethlehem, have always studied the stars because we know the One that flung the sun and moon into space also made the stars (Genesis 1:16). This shows God's omnipotence; stars beyond our ability to count and He summed it all up in just five words.

We have trouble with God's messages. In August 2009, out of nowhere, on a clear day in Minneapolis, MN during a national convention of the Lutheran Church, just before voting on putting gay preachers in the pulpits, a tornado came down the street, tore up the top of the convention center, took the steeple off the Lutheran Church and just as quickly disappeared, yet, the Lutherans paid no attention whatsoever. Episcopalians cannot read the message sent to Archbishop Rowan Williams and the Episcopal Church about the Episcopal flirtation with the gay agenda.

In August 2005, the worst hurricane in the history of America hit the Gulf Coast area and particularly the city of New Orleans. We absolutely learned nothing about God's trying to wet clean this sinful city...elderly left to drown in nursing homes, prisoners escaping from jails...the total debilitation of a large city. In January 1994, the so-called Northridge earthquake hit the California coast, trying to shake loose or cleanse the largest pornography capital of the world. This week, the world has been rattled by scenes of the earthquake desperation in Haiti, a country already dissolved in poverty, perversion and puppet worship. Of the supposed six million inhabitants, almost half are considered to be voodoo worshipers. Since I have been alive, America has sent one ministry after another to that deprived, destitute nation, one half of the island of Hispaniola, where "Papa Doc" Duvalier, his son and many other tyrants have made life miserable for this population. On the same island, the Dominican Republic prospers. Can Americans see what can happen in a natural disaster and even pretend to see what can happen in a man-made disaster, such as a nuclear weapon set off by terrorists? Haiti is just a small example of what terrorism can do in a country hated by Islamic radicals.

America is a country so blessed by God, blessings shared with the world. 90% of all Christian missionaries go to the rest of the world from the United States. America's largess, not only in sharing our wealth, but also our knowledge gained through expensive research, is well known. How many recent great discoveries have come from anywhere except America? Discoveries which have made life better everywhere. We have spit in the face of God who made it all possible, even using His word and His message to milk funds out of His followers who have given, worshipfully and lovingly, to those who live lavishly (Hinn, Graham, Copeland, Baker, etc.).

True prophets, truth pastors.

True pilgrims, truth patriots.

God wants us to be in the fight, win or lose, the battle is his...”for the battle [is] not yours, but God's“ (2 Chronicles 20:15) .

We are in a minority, the world's largest minority, Christians who know the message.

Politicians drive their $100,000 car to their $10 million home, unconcerned. I have never been in a Starbucks but many churchgoers, academics, professionals, sit there, drinking their $5 cups of coffee, unconcerned. Golf-playing friends tell me they cannot get on the golf course because there are so many preachers, in their designer togs, unconcerned. The finest homes in town, gated communities, are called “Pill Hill”, where the health care professionals live, unconcerned.

We almost survived decades of string-pulling puppeteers, perversions and other peers whom we call politicians, unconcerned. Just get elected, you are assured of lifetime security with the elitist clubs of prestigious trustee and board appointments, lobbyist's hallucinations, country club prominence, unconcerned.

Bankers, who control everything, like JP Morgan Bank who increased their profits $12 billion last year, know who and what to control (Greenspan, Paulson, Bernanke, Geithner, Madoff), all unconcerned about the small citizen or the small businessman just trying to survive and provide jobs.

A good example is one banker I know. When he was younger, he would take a young date to a very fancy restaurant out of town. As soon as they had finished their meal, he would excuse himself to the bathroom, so he said, go out and get in his car and leave her with the bill. She would have to call someone for rescue and then, too embarrassed to have been so deceived, like most deceivers (politicians, perverts) he would continue to get by with this thing. Is it any different today? Those who Madoff and Paulson deceived were too embarrassed to admit such. Such bankers are called “movers and shakers”, power brokers.

The secular-humanist society has been so dumbed down that they cannot read obvious messages. The saved-humble Christian society has been so dumbed down that they cannot read obvious messages.

We are aware of the veneer of compassion and the veneer of pretension.

The Judas goats of enslavement have led dumb, unsuspecting sheep into the slaughter pit of expediency and ambiguity. As important as it is for a youngster to learn to read in the first grade, it is just as important for Americans to learn to read the handwriting on the wall, messages of every type texted directly to us.

Mrs Robinson

In 1968, Simon and Garfunkel came out with one of their greatest hits, “Mrs. Robinson.” Most people will remember this song because it was the theme song of the movie, “The Graduate.”


Much will be said about the following in the future. Much information is involved; and it would be a good thesis for a seminary graduate student. It just so happens that President Obama's wife, Michelle's mother, Mrs. Marian Robinson, lives in the White House with the Obamas. Voodoo has become the official religion of America. Mrs. Robinson, a practitioner of Santaria, the voodoo religious practice which was brought over by African slaves to the Caribbean and is found flourishing in the Caribbean and in South Florida is now practiced in the White House. It is my understanding that witches of this religion came in and cleansed the White House before the Obama's moved in, in order to rid the building of the Bush infestation. (I hope the same witches will go to the Republican National Committee, NRC, and do a cleansing there. I hope republicans will never hear the Bush name associated with republican politics again.)


James H. Cone, Harvard professor and friend of Obama, the unquestioned modern-day mentor of all the black power preachers, claims to have created a new theology, uniting the Muslim black power tenets of Malcolm X and the Christian foundations of Martin Luther King, Jr.


All he has really done, in my opinion, is take original liberation theology from Latin America, developed in the early 1960s by Catholic priests, and painted it black.


Directly from the preface of his 1997 new edition of his book, Black Theology and Black Power:


"As in 1969, I still regard Jesus Christ today as the chief focus of my perspective on God but not to the exclusion of other religious perspectives. God's reality is not bound by one manifestation of the divine in Jesus but can be found wherever people are being empowered to fight for freedom. Life-giving power for the poor and the oppressed is the primary criterion that we must use to judge the adequacy of our theology, not abstract concepts.


Understanding that black liberation theology is Marxism dressed up to look like Christianity helps explain why there is no conflict between Cone's "Christianity" and Farrakhan's "Nation of Islam." Both Farrakhan and Obama are members of the Black Masons.


Move over Jesus and make way for Cone, Wright and Obama. For a reported 20 years the Obama's attended the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago where Dr. Jeremiah Wright, a follower of Santaria and black liberation theology preached his religion of hate and where Harriet Tubman's portrait is reportedly hanging in the vestibule. Obama claims he never heard anything that was preached by Dr. Wright. But we wonder if he read the mission statement, their Vision:


1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.

2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.

3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.

4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.

5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.

6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.

7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.

8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.

9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.

10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.


From the Mission Statement, “The fortunate who are among us combine forces with the less fortunate to become agents of change for God who is not pleased with America’s economic mal-distribution!” Perhaps this is the CHANGE we heard about during the campaign and now the unfortunate consequences of the campaign. During his presidency, on November 2, 1800, John Adams wrote to his wife:

"I pray Heaven to bestow the best of Blessings on this House and on all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise Men ever rule under this roof."


Recently, I had to get a state ID because I bought a new car. For 50 years my military ID showing that I am a totally blind, 100% disabled, serviced-connected veteran, has sufficed everywhere. I even had to produce a birth certificate to get a new social security card which was lost in time of war. This president, now in the White House, cannot even produce a birth certificate. Lies have brought us where we are today. A lost war in Iraq, a loosing war in Afghanistan and Pakistan, bailouts and a complete crippling of the American economy continue blowing into the economic bubble of debt which will never be paid. And a completely PREDICTABLE excursion into heresy and treason by a democrat party who has total control over a prostituted media, academia and financial world. There are so many skeletons in so many closets among the politicians as well as Wall Street that no one in power, now, will dare challenge anything. Madoff, Guitner, Sebelius and Napolitano as well as Henry Paulson of Goldman Sachs are all held in the same moral reverence by the Congress and most liberal Americans. The time has long past when character is important. The Town Hall meetings have become a diversion from health care; and the culture of immorality on Wall Street has become a diversion from the worthless dollar and the need to clean up the Federal Reserve. No one believes Wall Street is honest. And no one believes that the politicians have any idea about cleaning up this country. Generally speaking, they are the ones who made the mess; but watch them run in 2010 saying they know how to clean it up. They no longer refer to this blessed country as a nation, but as an economy.


The Bible tells us that men are inherently evil. The only wealth anytime in the world according to God's word, is silver, gold, land and cattle. Adam Smith told us in WEALTH OF NATIONS that a country must be productive. Just continuing to blow air into a “debt bubble”, Mr. Obama, will not solve any problems. There is no Marshall plan to rescue us from the destruction you have brought to this nation. You are such an example. Smoking kills 4.5 million Americans every year. As you smoke and spin, do your mother-in-law's voodoo dance remember that 74 banks have failed this year. FDIC does not have enough money to payoff our losses. Construction is down 70 %. “Cash for Clunkers” will not make those happy who increasingly are unable to pay their mortgages. One of these car dealers, Mr. Obama, is owed $7 million dollars. Lee Iaccoca said long ago, when faced with inept government, “Throw the bums out.” As I have already said, Americans are completely predictable. Wall Street and Madison Avenue knows that. They will continue voting the same insane way. We need the Will Rogers or Mark Twain type. Where is a Bobby Knight who said about discipline, “You do what needs to be done, the best it can be done. And you do your best everyday.”


In this world of electronics, I am convinced that two things are controlling our destiny. It may not be discovered until long after I am gone. But, an enemy of the people, a satanic vehicle in some manner of subliminal perception has so dumbed-damned all those who stayed glued to the television set, (Most adults watch television 6 hours a day.) that through a flicker or something affecting the brain, Americans cannot think anymore. This along with electronic voting machines (neutralizing) and predetermining vote results has established this hierarchy of presidential and congressional slave masters which make the ancient pharaohs appear acceptable. It is imperative to inspire. Things may get worse before they get better.
