Another Miracle From God

Image via Wikipedia

God told me one day that he was going to turn my son around. I write down every prophecy God gives me. I understood this to mean he was going to turn his life around.

A few weeks later my son called me to tell me how God miraculously intervened and saved him from death or serious injury.

Driving the many miles from his job back to his home late one night; suddenly up the highway he saw a horrible sight.

A semi-truck at a high rate of speed jackknifing out of control was headed right at him. He said he remembered saying This is the end of the road. He thought his life was about to end. There was no way out for him.

The truck was about to hit him head-on when suddenly for no apparent reason his vehicle turned completely around facing away from the truck. The truck hit him on the other side of his  vehicle demolishing it. He somehow crawled out without a scratch.

I had told him on the phone without knowing what exactly happened on the highway, that God had spoke to me about him about a month before saying he was going to turn him around. That is when he told me what happened; he said that is exactly what God did on the highway, he turned him around just in time.

God turned him around and the truck missed hitting him head-on.

God is a miracle working God and I thank him for the things he has done for me and for others.

God Does a Miracle

Some years ago I begin to wheeze for no reason. Suddenly I would feel an itch in my throat and when I tried to clear it I would start wheezing so bad I thought I would not be able to breathe. Finally it would subside.

I could not speak while this was happening to me. It was awful. There was nothing anyone could do. My sons who were minor at the time became afraid when they saw this happening.

I was dreading another attack all the time. My heart began to palpitate also at this time. But I KNEW that God was with me. I also knew he had all power. I also knew I belonged to him. And I knew that he loved me and he knew that I loved him.

Some years before I had an experience with him that changed my life. He gave me a direct connection to him. I had a perfect faith in him: a gift from him. This means I hear from him all the time.

I went to a doctor and mentioned the wheezing to him. He said it was not asthma. Really he did not say anything else. He said the problem was only in my throat.

So I kept having the attacks. I would wheeze and wheeze until I was barely breathing. I had no idea how serious it was.

One night in 2010 I was home alone watching television when an attack hit me. I started wheezing. But something worse happened. My throat completely closed shut. I was in deep trouble. In other words my airway was shut and no air could get in. I could not breathe and there was nothing I could do.

I walked to the kitchen sink and stood there. I knew that I had only so much time (this describes it instead of minutes) and I was dead by suffocation..IF God did not do something. I was fully aware that he was fully aware that I was in trouble. I knew that God was right there with me and in me.

No time to go to the emergency room. I would not last that long without breathing.

Probably a minute passed with no air. No I cannot say how much time passed from the living room chair to the kitchen walk. And standing there helpless and totally looking to God. I know the brain needs oxygen. Maybe it was half a minute. I cannot really say. But my airway was closed and time was passing.

I somehow knew my  throat would not open on its own. It was swollen tightly shut. It was a scary feeling, but I knew that God knew I needed his help.

Within myself I asked him, God I need your help..please help me Lord in Jesus name. He immediately opened my throat. I was okay. I know he did it and nothing else. It did not open on its own. He opened it. But I was TERRIFIED it would happen again.

I dreaded when…but he spoke to me  a couple of days later and said I am going to heal you of that. he referred to the throat problem I had had for years. He did and no more allergies and no more wheezing.

He gave me a miraculous healing. I cannot describe my joy and peace. He is a wonderful  Savior.

God had told me about a year before (I wrote it down) that he was going to give me a new lease on life. He opening my blocked airway which was a swollen closed throat was the new lease on life he promised me.

More Judgment From God For Nakedness

Image via Wikipedia

Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.

 ²Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.

 ³Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man. (Isaiah 47).

God issues a severe warning to women. He tells them to go right ahead and expose their bodies. He says to them “uncover your locks, make bare your leg and uncover your thigh..” He warns the women their shame shall be see. What shame? The shame of their nakedness. He did not tell them their nakedness was natural and beautiful. He did not put a big happy face on them saying “This is how I created you naked and beautiful.”

On the contrary He said when he comes to the woman he will not meet her as a man does: men who love women marry them, provide for them, and protect them.

God says he will meet her with vengeance. He is love but he is also a God of judgment. Eden tells it all what God thinks of disobedience.

I read of a young woman who sunbathed each day in a bikini outside her apartment. One day they found her in her apartment raped and murdered. It turned out she was killed by one of her neighbors who saw her daily out there almost naked.

God met her with vengeance. He did not meet her as a man to love her and provide for her and protect her…but he met her with death. He allowed her to be murdered.  It could not have happened had not God allowed it. Would it have happened if the woman had dressed decently and modestly as the Bible tells us to do? Why take the chance?

Crime experts say that many people invite their own assaults. Some walk and go where it is dangerous. The live a lifestyle that invites disaster. It is not wise to go where you may be harmed or killed. This is simply the kind of world we live in  AFTER EDEN.

I read of a woman who invited men to her house to dance naked before them to tease them. One day they found her dead murdered with a knife from her kitchen plunged deep into her chest.

Playing games with the devil is not a good idea.

God gave the human race a BOOK. He expects us to read it and obey it. It is the Holy Bible.

I know it is a fact there are people who are murdered in their homes. Why? Because we live in world of sin. Unlocked doors and unlocked windows that invite wicked men to rape and kill.

It is important that we do all God told us to do and he will do what we cannot do.

It is not a good idea to be a prostitute. Many have been found murdered. It is not a good idea to walk down dark streets late at night. It is not a good idea to go anyplace, or do anything that might invite an attack. Criminals are out there looking for victims. Using wisdom in conducting one’s life will help.

The world has sinners in it and many of them are vicious criminals.

My point in this blog is to be humble and modest. Obey God.

Do all you can with His help to keep your life safe.

Murders happen because the Lord’s permissive will allows it. But his perfect will is for no one to murder or to be murdered.

God’s Judgment Concerning Clothing

Image via Wikipedia

¹⁶ Moreover, the LORD said, “Because the daughters of Zion are proud 
And walk with ^[p]heads held high and seductive eyes, 
And go along with mincing steps 
And tinkle the bangles on their feet, 
¹⁷ Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, 
And the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”

 ¹⁸ In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments, ¹⁹ dangling earrings, bracelets, veils, ²⁰ headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets, ^21 [q]finger rings, nose rings, ²² festal robes, outer tunics, cloaks, money purses,²³ hand mirrors, undergarments, turbans and veils.

 ²⁴ Now it will come about that instead of ^[r]sweetperfume there will be putrefaction; 
Instead of a belt, a rope; 
Instead of well-set hair, a plucked-out scalp; 
Instead of fine clothes, a donning of sackcloth; 
And branding instead of beauty. 
²⁵ Your men will fall by the sword 
And your ^[s]mighty ones in battle. 
²⁶ And her ^[t]gates will lament and mourn, 
And deserted she will sit on the ground.

 

In these passages the judgment of God involves taking away clothing such as in the undergarments mentioned here. And fine clothing and anklets all will be taken away when he sends judgment.

God’s judgment brings nakedness and shame. It brings defeat and death and sorrow.

That entire judgment of God in Isaiah involved taking clothes away so they can sit and lament and mourn deserted on the ground: a naked smelly defeated mess.

God Commands Underwear Be Made for Humans

Image via Wikipedia

Exodus 28:42 says, “And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their naked-ness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach.”

Here the Lord is telling them to make underwear for EVERYONE.

Why? Because God wants the human race CLOTHED.

God Cares What We Wear

Image via Wikipedia

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God. (Deuteronomy 22:5)

The Lord here did not say to Israel “The woman shall not wear clothes. Neither shall a man put on garments. I want these sinners naked at all times that is how I created them in Eden: naked. For all that do wear clothes are abomination to the Lord thy God.”

How clear can it be what God wants the human race to wear clothes? Must there be videos of Sinai and the fiery mountain showing God commanding the people about clothes? The Lord was the first fashion designer instructing them how to dress. He had already clothed them in Eden. But at Sinai he goes further telling them that men are not to dress like women do. Nor are women to dress as men do.

He supplied the pattern for all time how to make clothes for the human race. Why? Well because he wants us to wear clothes.

IE:When he commanded them about clothes..He did not mean women cannot wear pants nor men wear kilts..but He at that time made a forever distinction between men’s and women’s clothing. God cares not only that we cover ourselves with clothes. But he cares what clothes we wear.

God all through the Holy Scriptures makes it clear that he wants the human race to wear clothes.

Sin is here and so is the clothing industry. And when did the clothing industry begin? In Eden.

Clothe the Naked is what Jesus said

Image via Wikipedia

If I was to ask the Lord “What shall I do with the naked?” he would say as he said in the Bible “clothe the naked.“

He did not say to clothe those already wearing clothes. He did not say to send offerings to rich preachers so they could clothe themselves in expensive designer clothes.

 

He said it is the NAKED he wants me to clothe. That is very clear. It doesn’t require a degree in theology to know what Jesus meant. If I asked a three-year old what he meant he would know. Jesus said clothe the naked. Naked means those who are wearing no clothes.

Nudists clearly think that the sin in Eden does not apply to them.
But sin affected the entire human race, even the universe we live in and all of nature was affected by sin. Sin being evil against good.

Nudists live in colonies because they know that their nudity is unacceptable to the majority of earth’s inhabitants.

There are six-billion people and counting in the world.

 

And most of us wear clothes.

 

Jesus commanded his followers to clothe the already clothed? No he commanded us to clothe specifically those who are wearing NO clothes: the naked.

 

Jesus made is clear he does not approve of public nudity. He knew that nudity is what exists when one is wearing NO clothes. But he said he commanded those who follow him to CLOTHE those who are wearing NO clothes.

 

He made it clear that it is the NAKED he wants clothed.

 

Paul asked someone in one of his epistles to bring his cloak to him when they went to where he was at. He said bring my cloak and the parchments.

 

Nudists go naked not because it is what the Lord wants it is because this is what they choose to do.

Most of the world inhabitants obey God in this one thing; they wear clothes. They clothe the naked and the naked would be themselves without clothes on.

 

Even ignorant savages in remote parts of the world try to cover themselves with something even if it is a leaf or animal skin. If they don’t it is because they are too ignorant to know that there is something available to cover  themselves with.

 

People running naked are sending the message to others that they assume that others want to look at their nude bodies. This is narcissism. It is judging others with the presumption that their nudity is what all the world wants to see.

This is wrong to think that your naked body is to be looked at.

 

God covered Adam and Eve after they sinned and began their long descent to destruction and death. Had not God promised a Messiah they would have had no hope. But when God sent them out of Eden he sent them away CLOTHED.

 

People who expose themselves to others in public are immediately arrested for indecent exposure. Why? Because they crossed boundaries of decency the victim set for himself according to the word of God. They are now on legal record for being a pervert. Now they cannot be trusted around those who believe that wearing clothes is a sign of sanity.

 

Everyone knows that if one is arrested for indecent exposure he was arrested for exposing himself to those who do not want to see his nudity. We all know that anyone arrested for indecent exposure is obviously flawed in his thinking.

 

Nudists may try to justify their nudity as God’s will but one scripture is all that is needed to prove them wrong.

 

Jesus told his followers to CLOTHE the naked. When they took down the body of the Lord after he was crucified they wrapped it in linen cloth.

I Was Naked And You Clothed Me

Because of my blogs showing from the Bible that God requires us to wear clothes after the fall of the human race in Eden, I am being accused by those who think that public nudism is the will of God of being a false prophet. And of taking scriptures out of context. Here in this passage the LORD Himself tells how clothing the naked is his will for us. He also warns of what happened to those who do not clothe the naked. He also promises reward to those who feed the hungry, visit those in prison, and take the stranger in.We are to clothe the spiritually naked as well as the physically naked. Jesus did not here mean that the only food and clothing we give to those in need be spiritual. It is the spiritual that affects the natural man.If he is naked within he is naked without. We are to do this literally. God wants us to wear clothing in spite of what some may believe. New International Version (©1984) I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ New Living Translation (©2007) I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ English Standard Version (©2001) I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ New American Standard Bible (©1995) naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.‘ International Standard Version (©2008) I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me.‘ GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995) I needed clothes, and you gave me something to wear. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ King James Bible Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

What Then?

When the great factory-plants of our cities Have turned-out their last finished works, When our merchants have sold their last products, And sent home the last tired clerk; When our banks have transacted their business, And paid out the last dividend; When the Judge of the Earth calls a reckoning, And asks for a balance –WHAT THEN? When the Church choir has sung its last anthem, And the preacher has made his last prayer; When the people have heard their last sermon, And the sound has died out on the air; When the Bible lies closed on the pulpit, And the pews are all empty of men, When each one stands facing his record, And the Great Book is opened – WHAT THEN? When the actors have played their last drama. And the mimic has made his last fun, When the film has flashed its last picture, And the billboard displayed its last run; When the crowds seeking pleasure have vanished, And gone out in the darkness again, When the trumpet of ages is sounded, And we all stand before Him – WHAT THEN? When the bugle-call sinks into silence, And the long marching columns stand still; When the captain repeats his last orders, And they’ve captured the last fort and hill; When the flag has been hauled from the mast-head, And peace seems to reign among men, When those who rejected the Saviour Are asked for a reason – WHAT THEN?

Jesus Healing of Demoniac Resulted in Delivered Man Wearing Clothes!

Image via Wikipedia

^{Mark 5:2}As Jesus stepped out of the boat, a man came out of the tombs and met him. The man was controlled by an evil spirit ³and lived among the tombs. No one could restrain him any longer, not even with a chain. ⁴He had often been chained hand and foot. However, he snapped the chains off his hands and broke the chains from his feet. No one could control him. ⁵Night and day he was among the tombs and on the mountainsides screaming and cutting himself with stones.

[As this man abused himself his soul suffered as well as his mind and body. He referred to himself as Legion. He said he was many. Schizophrenic on a massive scale. Confused and frightened and alone. Satan had a stronghold in his life thus controlling his behavior. He was a tormented human being. I do not believe Satan walked up to this man one day to ask him for control of his life. Possibly he deceitfully worked on him little by little until the man was possessed. With possession came the cutting, the screaming, the nudity, the chains, the living in isolation away from other people.]

⁶The man saw Jesus at a distance. So he ran to Jesus, bowed down in front of him, ⁷and shouted, “Why are you bothering me now, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won’t torture me.” ⁸He shouted this because Jesus said, “You evil spirit, come out of the man.”

[The man wanted to be free from his naked tormenting prison of shame and isolation. He lived away from the populace.}

 ⁹Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”

He told Jesus, “My name is Legion [Six Thousand], because there are many of us.” ¹⁰He begged Jesus not to send them out of the territory.

[It appears the man and the devils were entwined were one. The man’s tongue was used by the demons to beg Jesus not to cast them out. Where could they live and behave insanely if they did not have a body?].

¹¹A large herd of pigs was feeding on a mountainside nearby. ¹²The demons begged him, “Send us into the pigs! Let us enter them!”

¹³   Jesus let them do this. The evil spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea and drowned.

[The pigs ran in suicidal torment to die rather than live as demons.]

¹⁴Those who took care of the pigs ran away. In the city and countryside they reported everything that had happened. So the people came to see what had happened. ¹⁵They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons. The man was sitting there dressed and in his right mind. The people were frightened. ¹⁶Those who saw this told what had happened to the demon-possessed man and the pigs. (Emphasis mine)

[There is no getting around it that when the demons were cast out of this tormented man by the Lord the man quieted down and was clothed; with his mind thinking intelligently.]

The man wanted to go with Jesus but the Lord told him to go tell what the Lord had done for him. This would include restoring his mind which mind decided to wear clothes.
