A quick update on Dolly if you did not see or hear news reports yesterday. She cancelled her planned residency in Las Vegas this fall. She is slowly recovering from kidney issues, taking her meds for the infection that caused stones, and building her stamina. She is also still trying to recover from the loss of her husband. She is well enough to be working some at Dollywood, friends of ours who work there spoke with her recently. She made a few public appearances there as well. She is also working with Children’s Hospital in Knoxville, which was renamed in her honor. It will be awhile before she performs again. She is improving steadily, but if so inclined a prayer for continued healing is appreciated.
Back to the regularly scheduled programming.
To fully understand Providential Restoration we must first accept God into our minds and hearts. Comprehension of what it means to all Americans regardless of beliefs cannot be fully understood any other way, so it is pulpit time with Trade today.
GOD is the Author of our existence.
Not a god, group of gods, a supreme being(s) or a mystical something that brought space goo magically together into living cells, gases and space matter. Your intelligence, logic and common sense are failing you if you go there with your analysis. Something cannot come into existence from nothing. There is also an alpha and and omega for all creation. Your own limited existence on Earth with a planned obsolescence as a “living” organism should be enough to inform you of that truth.
Only God. The Author.
The Author has been known by many names given to Him throughout mankind’s existence.
We can all believe who and what we choose to believe, however, there is only one YHWH, one I AM. HE is the Author. He provided His Son, who then brought the Holy Spirit as a Helper for all who believe. Three in one – God – The Author. YHWH determined why and how He would redeem His creation and created beings when things went off the rails. He provided His Son to redeem His created beings. He was the final living sacrifice to satisfy the Law that He had given to His chosen people.
Life in this world is tied to the blood. No blood, no life. As a perfect human being and Son of The Author, Jesus Christ willingly shed His blood and sacrificed himself for all mankind’s sins. To accept The Son’s sacrifice and live accordingly brings life eternally in His presence. This is the miracle of all miracles, His resurrection, Easter, on which all of creation hinges. That is what delivers eternal life with Him.
To refuse to accept brings separation from God and the denial of an eternal relationship with Him. With the latter choice you go your own way and accept your fate after you breath your last on planet Earth. You have made a self determination. You have become as gods and are your own god.
The answers we seek to these type questions are sometimes as simple to understand and receive as believing the words in The Holy Bible, The Book, of which I AM is The Author. It exists as a record of historical events, miracles, inspiration, teaching, wisdom, prophecy and love from and for the people He has chosen in the past, present and future to bring Godly order and solutions to the planet. No amount of derision, manipulation, disinformation, accusations, overthinking, lies and even ignorance will change its history, meaning and message to all created beings since time began… until the Author closes The Book after all is revealed at the conclusion of its final chapter.
There is a cost to believe, to accept Christ.
Want to see a recent small, individual example of the cost of submission to God in America today? Can you imagine this happening a few decades ago?
It happens in all walks of life – big and small. There is a cost. Count yourself fortunate if you are presented the opportunity that Jaden Ivey was given to witness for The Author of salvation.
We have all been given the choice to make. We are not zombies, programmed robots, or created without the ability to reason. We are created in the image of God, to have communion with Him. The Author said so in His book. There are those incapable of making such a choice due to reasons unrelated to personal beliefs. However, we can be sure that God is good.
There is nothing to hinder any believer from seeking God and having a relationship with Him anywhere anytime with The Book is available to guide the journey. Though helpful, you do not need a religious leader or denomination. That we may choose to attend church is not what saves us, that rests with our acceptance of Jesus and His sacrifice. Church is where we go to fellowship, learn, serve others, collectively worship, and strengthen our resolve for the world that challenges us. What matters most is that as believers we have the privilege of approaching The Author’s throne anytime to just have a conversation that is often called prayer. No appointment, intermediary, or special words are needed; just faith and belief in the atonement provided by His Son. Faith in Him may be the greatest blessing for ourselves as well as the Lord.
There are no secrets, nothing to hide. He already knows anyway. He just wants us to love, trust and count on Him to be there. Which leads us to want to do the same.
Sing it, Larry…
In America
A large majority of our founding fathers and colonists generally knew these things. The eternal truths were accepted as The Way. It was easy to accept because the Son of The Author used those words when describing Himself.
https://www.gotquestions.org/the-Way.html
As I discussed in American Stories, when the first Great Awakening happened beginning in the 1730’s, the population in the colonies responded with revival catching fire throughout the Protestant churches that dominated the land. The beliefs of many of the founding fathers were formed during this period. This is reflected in the text of the Declaration of Independence. They wanted the King and Parliament to know they based their collective decision to separate upon principles found in The Book. This is why they used the term, “providence” and referenced God in the document. They acknowledged that America and its people were to be divinely directed and not subject to the whims of an earthly King or government. This is why they stated in the document that it was mankind’s right and duty to throw off evil and oppression, then replace with a new government that met the needs of the people under God’s providence.
Which they did. Which is also what President Trump and all MAGA patriots are doing again today. Our nation was formed and already exists within the providence of God. However, through the decades and centuries that followed we have been led astray and lost our way at times. The past century in America has been the proverbial frog in the slow boiling pot leading to nearly becoming dinner for Satanic evil doers. The America First MAGA movement is going a different way, The Way. We see and hear it in all we support and do; a renewal of spirit and resolve to doing things well and right. This has led to this planned public event on May 17 describing who we are in America’s 250th year.
Yes, this is Providential Restoration. We are in the midst of a restoration of our relationship with The Author that returns us to being fully under His care and direction. Our national prodigal son wanderings are ending. In so doing the United States of America will provide essential leadership in God’s creation.
Conclusion
You can observe life around you as well as around the world and know that there is God. Why spend your time doing the Don Quixote by fighting the endless windmills of life? Instead, sit a spell with The Author of the Book and experience the fulfillment of your mind, heart and soul. The blessing will blow away anything you can achieve or receive from this world. It will equip you to handle life in a way that brings glory to The Author. When it is your turn for the meet up with Him, you will already have a loving relationship.
Remember Wolf’s site rules. Note and label all AI. Please be kind to one another, we are all in this together. May God richly bless America and all of you.
Before all things and people – In God We Trust. Also, trust Trump and the plan.
