Whether we gather ourselves behind our breastplate, adore ourselves or rue the moment of our creation we still must contend or quit in reality’s confrontation. The battle is always one of self until we open the avenue of acknowledging Sovereign Creation.

There are roads that take conflict lightly; avoiding, deterring or simply staving off contention but the battle continues with or without our participation. Taking a stand demands choosing a side and in this manuscript written out by God there has always been only One Winner.

Being born in America certainly is a blessing but also invitation to the choices that must be made in this war for civilization and its redemption to God the Father. There must be a treay to end the War with God, that document, agreement, covenant is only found in Jesus.

Poverty is a duress that most men have experienced, only a select few are challenged with the additional burden of believing that Mammon may support the faith of men. We cannot buy our way to happiness, long life or immortality for this is the burden of greater lie.

We may stiff arm for a bit the weight of God’s Will for each of us, but inevitably only He decides the day and hour. Certainly there are those of men and angels seeking to convince themselves and all present that they somehow may outsmart God, providing their own path.

That is the special ignorance for which men are warned against “other” or false Gospel of angels or men and the curse that surrounds that foolishness. The tolling of the Bell is recognition of the fragile purse of imagination and the darkened heart.

Just as God doesn’t have a need for me in the world’s recognition of His Sovereign Existence, He tells all that I AM THAT I AM, independent of creation’s; opinion, strategy or definition. We are fully dependent upon Him for each breath, not the error of imagination.
