"Whispering in the Winds"

“Today many are crying for diversity to combine into a oneness – holding hands and imploring for peace/tranquility – ignoring the adversary which seduces ours and their societies. Over and over ignoring the Commandments, Statutes and Laws of the Father and the Son. Yet saying Christians unite – but decrying any truth of purpose. What is a Christian today? Someone who believes in a Creeds of logismoi of men/women/committees each denying the literalness of the Holy Scriptures? So sadly there actually are many good Christians in the world – who know only to worship the Father and the Son – believing in Jesus Christ and what he taught or had taught literally. Yet the ‘great churches’ of the world deny almost all of what has been taught by the Savior and/or Prophets/Apostles – substituting instead some unknown, untrue philosophies which even they cannot agree upon. Some teach hatred – die or join – others teach contention/confusion – while all but one teach their own doctrines mixed with Scriptures.

 

Christianity or even religion as we have it today makes no resemblance to what the Savior established in any of the various dispensations. When after the death of the last Apostles – except John – the schools of Gnostics and Philosophers took over the ‘idea’ of church/religion and have never given it back. Of course the adversary is behind it- and many if not all but a very few understand the history or worse even care about the truth – literal truth. Rather instead of love – there is now contention, hatred, divisions and the calling of adverse clergy such as political dissidents – and yes some who are good but all working for pay.

 

Again I repeat over and over either there are Prophet’s and Apostles and a Restoration or there is no Church directed by the Savior on this earth today! Only what men/women approve. Either there is nothing and the world is correct in their logismoi – or there is something of which I’ve written over and over and mostly to no avail. Now, I testify to you that there is the Savior’s Church on this earth today, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! It was restored by the Father and the Son – and is led by the Savior through His Prophet’s and Apostles! I know this and I share it with you to learn for yourselves – and the Bible testifies as does the Book of Mormon to this truth! Remembering always that I also believe everyone has the right to believe whatever they choose to believe. I love you each and all.” In the name of Jesus Christ - c/ork

Words being blown away

as if dust on the river

foam on the ocean waves

rain drops and fog dense

then gone disappeared

whispering in the winds

never to cease in my trying

lending my understandings

not to convert but to invite

searching the Scriptures

guileless and unselfishly

whispering in the winds!

“Different Sounds”

6/18/15

 

When there should only be one

voices coming from all directions

different sounds discordantly

now and then mingled truth

mostly just nonsensical guile

enough to please the hearers

caring not making no sense

pleasant to the tone deaf

appealing to the blinded

without feelings of value

voices coming from the winds

when there should only be one

the still small voice of Father!

Delving into the profusions

blessing’s abundantly

little kindness’s given

doing Father’s will

being fully obedient

within the gardens

working the vineyards

giving one’s all and all

understanding the needs

found in the profusions

of eternal endeavors!

Choices made in emotions

conflicting ideas rushed

mob violence/peer pressure

going with the crowded room

chaotic directions delivered

meant to confuse innocent

even those called elect

a bad thing to decide

based on rhetorical guile

worldly wisdom’s voice

a bad thing made by many

choices without reason!

"Honor, Duty, Loyalty" (Flag Day 2015)

 

“Honor, Duty, Loyalty”

 

cji

6/14/15

 

(Prelude:

 

What is it to honor

(especially a flag)

many feel unimportant

(all this for a damn flag)

while our nation strains

with many wavering

conflicts over one’s duty

too many without loyalty

forgetting what’s there

re-inventing their world

ignoring the enslaved

a nation fraught within

pulls together today

to honor its flag

all that’s left today

betwixt them (us)

freedom or bondage!)

 

 

(1)

 

“June 14, 1777”

 

cji

6/14/15

 

A flag for our nation

fledging colonies at war

fighting the powerful

seeking self-rule

called a bunch of rabble

yet now with a flag

calling of all to arms

giving meaning

‘honor, duty, loyalty’

this flag of our nation!

 

(2)

 

“Our Army”

 

cji

6/14/15

 

In 1775 on this day

under an act of law

an army enjoined

to engage the enemy

rag-tags of the few

(not all in support)

small militias massed

now to be united

common cause

for self-rule fought

some as colonies

others in the new army!

 

 

(3)

 

“To Some a Parade”

 

cji

6/14/15

 

Gathering in villages

towns, cities, states

early as 1860’s

continued now today

some trying to outdo

others simply to honor

biggest, largest, oldest

forgetting the reasons

forgetting the sacrifices

forever remembered

in the graveyards

within our nation

and those without

to some a parade

to the few sadness!

 

(4)

 

“Honor”

 

cji

6/14/15

 

Unlike those who bemoan

this is a day to give honor

(as everyday should be)

for as no other nation today

we’ve freedoms earned

(which some trying to take)

allowed to worship by choice

to walk, talk, gather in groups

to write, to express, to honor

which can never be taken away

too many trying to give away

forgetting honor is within

or it is not to be found at all!

 

(5)

 

“Duty”

 

cji

6/14/15

 

Called to bear arms as one

united in defending freedoms

this duty in payment to all

those who’ve gone before

to our Savior for his love

providing a sacred land

where men/women choose

some to meet their duty

others to foolishly deny

‘some giving their all,

but all giving some’

and yet still more today

taking without giving

their duty in selfishness!

 

 

(6)

 

“Loyalty”

 

cji

6/14/15

 

Today a matter of loyalty

who choosing to serve

for one can only serve one

either Heavenly Father

and his only begotten

or to serve Satan alone;

 

Loyalty to one’s home

without memory forgotten

knowing their eternal Father

in this war which is never done

freedoms, tribulations in verve

fighting our nations royalty;

 

Or loyalty to the worldly

engaging in selfishness

putting themselves above

entitled to others shove

acting in worthlessness

fully thus otherworldly;

 

Each must choose today

(and in reality everyday)

always who they’ll serve

either God or Satan deserve

their course chosen to stay

loyalty to truth or lie in decay!

 

“Honor, Duty, Loyalty”

 

cji

6/14/15

 

(Epilogue:

 

Honor, duty, loyalty are choices

amid the chaotic manmade noises;

 

Flag day is but one day a year

where America sheds their tear;

 

Now betrayed by those who lead

emptiness the words which plead;

 

‘all this for a damn flag’ echoing

‘all this for a damn flag’ echoing;

 

Or better all this for a nation free

allowing hope a chance to be!)

“To Not Exist”

“To Not Exist”

 

cji

6/15/15

 

Ignoring all vital signs

indifferent to nature

denying the Scriptures

suspect of ex niliho

for nothing comes

when there’s nothing

to not exist a belief

held by most the world

putting aside the truth

accepting worldly guile

ignoring the vital signs!

“Allon-Bachuth”

“… Why Christians are so silent I cannot explain . Why the threats and death are not confronted I cannot explain. Why all that appears evil gets a free pass I cannot explain. Why drugs. Why riots. I cannot explain. Why ? My brain hurts from the pressure of it all. We require a spiritual miracle do we not? …” thought from my friend WH.

 

Reply:

Paul clearly defined the problem – and what was going to happen! There would be an falling away – this had to come from within the established Church by the Savior – therefore there would be no more Church of the Savior on the earth. We know that this happened and the ‘’ church would be one of men/women. Thus one of confusion – conflicting doctrines and rituals! Much influence came from Augustine and Origen – both who were products of Greek Rhetoric (well over 25 years). If the Christian church of today was fathered by these two and others like them then there is very little of common sense – yet much of the world -  power – politics – lusts – wealth – lies – deception – guile – or a world without feelings! Paul called all of this!

 

There had to be a Restoration – as no living thing can be taken from something dead! The world has been taught there was no more revelations – no more answers to prayers – no more Prophets or Apostles – that the heavens were closed! Currently we’ve some 50,000 various editions of Scriptures – multiple creeds of men/women (most making no sense). i.e. logismoi and nothing to do with gnosis (truth). Each Sabbath Day (regardless of which day of the week they use) preachers, rabbis, ministers, priests, clergy and others of their sort – preach the politically correct doctrines of the creeds of men. Some rant and rave – others soft voices – hell and damnation – peace and submission. However, very few teach the Bible cover to cover – without adding or deleting from the literal doctrines. We’ve a world which preaches the religion of hate, distrust, argument, contention – this church or that – but stay away from that one.

 

If there had to be a Restoration – when, where, how? Every church in the world claims none needed – yet any church which uses the ‘Lord’s Prayer’ pleads for the same. Only one Church claims this Restoration – it is led by Prophets and Apostles – was organized by the Savior (introduced by the Father) – Peter, James and John – and John the Baptist. Elijah has also come restoring the keys of Eternal Marriage.

 

Guess what very few believe this – thus the majority deny it – but it has happened – nothing can change this – even the denial of almost everyone!

 

You ask why – we’ve the world we have? Because it is what the adversary wants – compliancy, apathy, convenience, justification, lack of responsibility, lack of accountability, lack of freedom, lack of values, lack of morals, lack of virtue – interestingly all of the principles of the worlds are the opposite of what is taught in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!

Mighty the oak trees found

some hundreds of years old

still producing their fruit yearly

giving shade and protection

yet they weep each Sabbath

seeing the world’s corruption

denial of the God of Heaven

refusing to do what is right

so few seek the truth to know

allon-bachuth sadly to see

where so few believe/obey!

"Thoughts"

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf544I0qATU

 

Today I was asked for my thoughts on this video – here they are!

 

Okay  - thoughts – it is a good presentation – like many others – similar – however strikingly being generic – much was left out that is most important.

 

First and foremost they forgot to say who we're to love first! First, we love Heavenly Father and His Only Begotten Son! Second, we love ourselves as our neighbors! Now back to the first - if you love Heavenly Father and His Only Begotten Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior - then you'll keep all of their Commandments! You'll believe them literally - and thus you'll believe those who speak with their authority on their behalf - their Prophets and Apostles - all of them - those from the past and those called and alive today.

 

The movie left all of this out! In order to do this one must make choices - either to be worldly or not! For none can have two masters. God our Heavenly Father and His Son - are not Gods of confusion - the Scriptures are quite clear on this. Therefore there are not many churches - if so then the Gospel would not be found on this earth today. As Paul testified and all of the Prophets and Apostles - that there would be an apostasy - an apostasy means a falling away from the truth - Gnosis! What would be left is Logismoi! Or other words - man's wisdom of rhetoric - a mixture of lies and a little bit of truth.

 

Thus, if one chooses to believe that the above is not the case - they can love all they want - they can do whatever they want - but they will not be completely following the Commandments of the Father or the Son. They'll be good people - which is why Paul explained the three (3) degrees of Glory that all living will someday attain - either Terrestrial - Telestial - or The Celestial - then within each Kingdom there are different levels - or Kingdoms within Kingdoms. Yet only in the Celestial at the highest degree of Glory will one find the eternal family of which the Prophets and the Savior taught about and still do today. Remember the Savior said, "In my Father's house there are many mansions, and I go to prepare a place for you," why mansions if all we're going to be is spirit without a body of flesh and bone like the Savior had at his resurrection and when he ascended into heaven?

 

One must understand they'll only believe what they want to believe - and all of the churches in the world - only one teaches this principle of eternal life - as a family unit for time and all eternity - but all of the Prophets understood this then and those alive today.

 

As to Prophets and Apostles - not one - zero ever called themselves to be a Prophet or Apostle - then as now it is the same. If there are Prophets and Apostles on this earth today - they have to have been called by the Savior! I testify that there is a living Prophet on this earth today - why, because the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored in it's fullness as so many in their repetitive 'Lord's Prayer' pray for - 'Thy kingdom come' - if the Kingdom hasn't been restored - then the King cannot come!

 

Our day is no different than any other dispensation where the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been on this earth - even to the point where they've murdered the Prophet of this last dispensation - they've murdered Apostles - and most of all they've murdered - raped - women and children as well as men who've followed the Prophet of this dispensation. They were forced out of Ohio, Missouri, Illinois across the mid-West into the Rocky Mountains as have always been the true followers of the Savior and those called by Him! Newspapers, churches, courts screamed for their blood - and even today they're attacked - not with the associated open violence - but still the same - as to how their treated - maybe Charles Dickens said it best, "It's not what they do that's so appalling - but it's what they say - believing in Angels, Revelation, Miracles in the day of railroad trains."

 

The thoughts are always the same - but few listen which is fine - each has their agency to be in the world - or a follower of the Savior - as Samuel said long ago, 'But for me and my family we'll follow the Lord!' 

 

“Thoughts”

 

cji

3/26/15

 

Amid the gray matter

occupying my mind

over and over screams

why can’t they listen

why can’t they test

why can’t they taste

sweetness in the word

literally understanding

what the world denies

my thoughts weary

repeated over and over

coring the apple again

fingers trembling often

inadequately typing

tears falling in darkness

feelings exposed to air

failing strength to express

truth in all its plainness

taxing my mind to find

words more understanding

amid gray matter of mind!
