COVENANT KEEPERS BACK TO BASICS AGAIN:
Like your most famous gladiators and trainers it is time to get back to the basic facts. Tom Landry during his 20+ years of coaching frequently said just the basics or back to the basics. Now the Trustee is saying to you back to the basics. When was the last time you read the Trust documents? It should be done often enough to be sure you comprehend the rights and obligations of all parties to that contract. The law that makes the Trust real is the parties keeping their word to and from both sides of the contract. There are real duties and responsibilities in the contract. And both or all parties to the contract must perform those obligations of contract. For the May meeting we had a serious review. Those who are not committed enough to attend meetings could benefit from those tapes. It is the most time we have spent on just the basics. I do promise to do more on the simple basics of the contract and what makes it work for you no matter who the other parties to the contract may be. Because this audience has Trusts written by several authors and books by several different theological groups, it is necessary to deal with the basics. Here is a quiz for you: 1) Who owns the assets? 2) What express duties does the Trustee have imposed by the contract? 3) What fees are set for the Trustee's efforts? 4) When did the Contract take on life with force and effect? 5) Have there been any Trustee changes recorded in the Minutes? 6) Who is the Trustee? Who is the Beneficiary? 7) When does the Trust die? Have there been any changes? 8) What is the stated purpose or the agreed purpose by the meeting of the minds? For that matter you can do the same with the LLC's by substituting Members for Trustees in the questions. Now; can you explain your rights, responsibilities, and benefits in the contract? If any of these questions are hard for you more training is needed. If any of these questions can not be answered there is no true contract, because there is not a real or substantial meeting of the minds. Often we have discussed the concept of substance over form. The meeting of the minds is the most important substance. The Trustee and the Beneficiary must have real substance in the meeting of the minds. Anything less is dangerous to all parties. This brings us back to the idea of Trustworthy. All parties forming the contract for trust must have the moral integrity to Trust and be Trusted. An Exchanger who does not have that character can not have a substantive meeting of the minds with a Trustee who is trustworthy. A Trustee who is less than Trustworthy will not form a proper substance contract with an honorable Exchanger. Like minds must meet. It is the purposes that must be opposite. Service must be the purpose of the Trustee. The Beneficiary is a receiver. But both must have giving and receiving settled in their mind. The Exchangers must have a substantive mindset to trade the property for the benefit. He must be willing to and capable of surrendering ownership, control, and authority. If the Exchanger does not have this clear mindset the substance of the contract will fail. The Trustee must have the mindset to accept ownership, control, and authority for the benefit of the Beneficiary. And the Trustee must put substantive trust and moral obligation into that duty and responsibility. I was recently asked what role the Trustee plays. The Trustee does not play a role. The Trustee is the life and substance of the Trust. Ownership is vested in the Trustee by the contract; by custom; and by law. Ownership brings with it the obligations of contract to live the life of trust and to always be trustworthy. Benefit is vested in the receiver of Beneficial Interest called the Beneficiary. This is the party for whose benefit the Trustee is obligated by contract. The obligation of the Beneficiary is to trust in the contract and the trustworthiness of the other parties. Factually only one who is himself trustworthy can perform this obligation. Usually a less than trustworthy Beneficiary will compromise the contract and steal things that do not belong to them. They will routinely say it is their trust or their house or their business. "I" and "my" are the greatest enemies of trust and trustworthiness. "I" and "my" are words of selfishness and greed. Trust is not about selfishness or greed. Knowledge is power and the greater the knowledge the greater the power. This is why we conduct regular meetings. Our goal is to share knowledge to create the moral character of trustworthiness. We don't even care who wrote the Trust or to whom you pay fees. We care about the moral character to make trust a right again. This moral requirement is why lawyers, judges, accountants and bureaucrats have such a terrible problem with the Trust. They know they do not possess the moral character of trustworthiness. They know they could not give trust, so have no concept or ability of receiving trust. The only common law that is pertinent to trust is the unwritten law of conscience. The only right that is pertinent to trust is "to do the will of GOD." When we arrive at this moral service to others we see wonderful effects in our families, businesses and personal lives. TRUST HAPPENS Trustee Powers: The Board shall have (Trustees) except as modified by the terms of this Indenture and the Minutes of the Board interpreting the same, all of the powers accorded to the Trustees under the Common Law, as well as those specified under the laws of the State of Nevada. Nevada is selected for its clarity of law on Trusts and its recognition of Common Law Privacy. The Board shall have the power to make any type of investment for the benefit of the Corpus. It may borrow money for any Trust purpose; to encumber property or to hypothecate by mortgage or by deed of trust or by pledge, or otherwise take any measure it deems appropriate to expand the Corpus of the Trust. The Board shall have the power to sell, convey, exchange, convert, improve, repair, partition, divide, allot, subdivide, create restrictions and easements or other servitude on the corpus. It may lease or sublease for terms within or beyond the duration of the Trust contract. The Board shall have the power necessary to operate, manage and control this Trust for the benefit of the Beneficiaries. It may take any action which it deems necessary and proper to carry out such purposes. It is also expressly provided that the Board shall neither possess nor exercise any power which would by its possession or exercise cause the income of the Trust to be taxed to the Exchanger, not to any person other than the Beneficiaries, and then only as income is distributed. In the event a termination occurs, the remaining Corpus and income shall be distributed to the Beneficiaries of record. The Board shall be deemed to have a general power of appointment consistent with the provisions of this Indenture over the Corpus and its income. The Trustee shall have full authority to determine what shall constitute the principal of the Corpus, gross income therefrom, net income distributable to the Beneficiaries under the terms of this Indenture, and to allocate between principle and income. Any such determination shall be conclusive in all parties. The Board shall have the power to expand or reduce their number as best suits the purpose of the Trust. TRUSTEE AUTHORITY In American Jurisprudence, ownership is vested in the Trustee. The Trustee has full and complete owner right and authority. Any limitation placed on Trustee authority in the contract is a weakening of the integrity of the Trust. Without a change of ownership there is no Trust and no protection. The contract is the settlement deed and agreement that warrant the transfer of property and change of ownership are real and legitimate. Are you lying when you sign and notarize the documents? Of course not, that would be fraud in the contract. Yes, of course the Trustee can be very cooperative to anyone's desires and very accommodating to the needs of all parties, but the power and authority must be there to accomplish the goals. Charity to do as you ask or wish or request, does not change the right, power, or authority of the Trustee as the legitimate owner. You really should have the most knowledgeable and most charitable Trustee you can find and afford. Someone who will be there if a problem comes calling. I do not care who you have as Trustee as long as it does not jeopardize the integrity of the Trust Contract. Lying and cheating are not necessary and always cause problems for truth and trust. Good must always triumph over evil. Truth and Trust must triumph over the lusts and greed of the participants in the Contract. Word and deed are necessary in the integrity of the Contract. We must say and do that which is right and proper by the Contract. First we must write a good Contract, then we must live it as a proper way of life. The Trustee must have ownership and power to execute all that is just and right in the Trust for its Beneficiaries. Yes, you can give up enough control (all) in order to have the just and proper benefits. Do we have a real meeting of the minds? BENEFICIARY The Board shall issue or assign One Hundred Percent (100%) of Beneficial Interest. The Beneficial Interest may be subdivided by the Board into units of smaller denomination, or smaller denominations may be merged into larger ones, but the total Beneficial Interest shall not be less than, nor greater than One Hundred Percent (100%). At the creation of this Trust, all Beneficial Interest shall be issued by the Board to the Exchanger, unless in a concurrent writing the Exchanger directs such Beneficial Interest or any part of such Beneficial Interest be issued to his designee. The Beneficial Interest shall be recorded by the Board, in the records of the Trust. Such record shall be conclusive proof of the Beneficial Interest ownership. The Beneficial Interest shall be strictly limited in transferability as set forth below. No title to any of the Trust assets of the income therefrom shall vest in or to any Beneficiary. Neither Trust income nor principal shall be liable for any debts of any Beneficiary. The Beneficial Interest does not entitle the Beneficiary to any management power or rights. Now do we clearly understand the obligation of contract? Do Beneficiary and Trustee have a real meeting of the minds? Contracts of Trust are living persons in law and need the substances of life. In the Trust that is financial reality and Trustee minutes. In the LLC that is financial reality and minutes of resolutions of the Members. It is necessary that all parties perform their obligations of contract in order to keep it alive. Often we learn of problems and disease just in time to administer CPR or life support. Contracts of Trust are creations of man and carry only the rights, privileges and benefits stated in the contract. You can consider the details of the contract and meeting of the minds rather like it's DNA or characteristics. Please do not consider my sayings to be the only way. It is just my way and unlike Godliness there can be more than one way. Trusts can be a lot like people we can be very alike and very different. Like any living person the contract must have certain parts; A brain, heart, lungs. For the contract in TRUST there must be things like communication, disclosure, consideration, purpose; all the elements required to form the meeting of the minds must be present to conceive the contract; and to carry it into effect or make it's life continue. There are diseases that can be lethal to the life of the contract. Lack of trust is of course the basic form of cancer or other killer disease. However, this "virus" can come from more than one source. In law they are called badges of fraud. Any item, act, thought, saying, or reason why complete trust does not exist is a lethal virus. Lack of knowledge; Lack of financial reality; Lack of consideration; Lack of true purpose; Lack of communication are all lethal. All these add up to a lack of understanding that would prove there is no meeting of the minds that could conceive a trust contract.
TRUST COLUMN CURRENT ENCOUNTERS OF THE CURIOUS KIND:
In recent months we have been blessed with a lot of correspondence from the three letter boys. With six cases winding their way toward the courts I suspect we shall have wonderful opportunities to minister truth. In one recent case the Writ of Mandamus commands the Appeals officer to do his job imposed by the statute. No, this is not our case, but we may go the same path. One of our Appeals officers will hold jurisdiction for a longer time than normal to enable the case to be settled reasonably and fairly. Another Appeals officer afraid of questions and recording will yield jurisdiction without any attempt to settle the case. This is the typical inconsistency within the IRS. It will work in our favor. Our Appeals officer who acted so pleasant in the first meeting has probably no desire to properly address or deal with the issues of law. He is willing to act reasonably to collect the facts, but is no where near on law. However, I believe he can be brought around or trapped for the federal court to expose. Are we having fun yet? On another front we've been blessed with several improper and illegal bank summonses for third party records. This is cute because everything they gain will be fruit of the poison tree and whatever it leads them to, will be corrupted. This means they will not be able to use any of the data as evidence. Yes, of course we'll have to do our part to prove this agent violated the rules and due process. Yes, of course this is an illegal fishing expedition. All of these casts come from one agent who improperly executed the forms, improperly delivered the forms and will illegally collect data. Yes, we are writing letters of objection and notifying agent and bank of their error. I'll properly add a prayer for both parties. Simply put a third party summons requires three parties. We are a necessary party to the process and without proper timely notice from the agent the tree is poisoned. No, I'm not quaking in fear. I do not operate that way. This situation is clearly a misuse of improper jurisdiction and authority. When our friendly Appeals office admitted that the employees of the IRS do not know the law because it is too complex, we won. We have diligently sought out the knowledge of law. We have the power of truth. Here's a curious turn we need to follow. In about 1890 the courts acknowledged the corporations had equal standing with persons under the 14th amendment. This may in fact be a wonderful thing because it would mean we can make constitutional (commerce) arguments for due process. Due process is a certain sentence of death to the bureaucracy. A thinking, reading people can not be ruled by deceit. We are very rapidly coming to the point where trickery and deceit fail. Now all we have to overcome is our own fears from rumors of the past (wars and rumors of wars). In one illegal personal interview in California an Agent says they are looking for the people who set up these plans. The Agent had been told to reduce his requests to writing and showed up at a home without an invitation. This too is a violation of due process and rights. As we prepare for this week's seminar thoughts begin to stir the gray matter. I never prepare for what I will say. If we are successful I'll play the audio tape of our Appeals meeting. I am in fact contemplating inviting this agent to our seminar (I didn't). In our meeting he did have some reasonable curiosity about why Trusts are done. My personal opinion is that this particular agent is still in overload from our meeting. It remains possible that the agent was crafty enough to get me to believe it meant more than it did. However, I highly doubt this is what occurred. Witnesses to the meeting and those who listened to the tape agree we made wonderful progress. It is very curious that we were able to have such a pleasant meeting with all this accomplishment and the opportunity ot minister truth about the agent's job and religion. It is curious that we have agents blatantly violating due process at the same time the Commissioner is testifying before Congress that these attitudes must be corrected. My perception that Director Cheskaty is the wrong man for the job, that is just personal. He has a whole series of excuses for not doing the job he declares or the Commissioner assigns. It is my opinion the Director, Appeals, and Internal Affairs need a lot more input from us. If they can hide behind the locked doors truth never reaches them. Our curious contacts will continue until truth overcomes evil and our victory is known. We've also had a lot of curious contact with banks. Our friend was fired for giving customer service. After being commanded (illegally) to discriminate against me, she failed to adequately discriminate. We are encouraging our friend to take legal action within and without the bank. I think she has a good case for job place discrimination and illegal discharge. All you prayer warriors need to be busy. We've had two other encounters with banks who at least say they want our business and then after our back is turned refuse our accounts. This is bound to work out to our benefit. We do have another little bank that wants our business. And they are friendly to us. Of course Bank of America is very friendly and services us with a smile and knife in hand. They don't know what happened or what is coming. Strange encounters are the normal events for those who choose to step out of the civil slavery mode. Curious events are the minimum required to bring change and they are the simplest evidence of our success. Seventeen years is just a tick in the scale of infinite. It was 40 years for a test of faith in Sinai and in Jerusalem. They failed miserably. Will we be able to succeed in our test for long suffering and for sureness of faith? Curious actions and encounters are sure to follow, those who remain faithful to the King.
BREECH OF CONTRACT DERILICTION OF DUTY/PARANOIA OR- REVELATION AND VICTORY BY RESPONSIBILITY :
In all areas of our lives we face the problems of Breech of Contract. The idea came to me during the night, but the phone kept me busy for a couple of hours this morning, so now I have to work harder. The idea strikes me that Breech of Contract has been our way and order for many centuries. So why do I think we can change now??? I believe we can and must change that order of things. Failure to do so at this opportune time could prove disastrous. Take a look at Adam. Didn't he have a Contract with GOD that he breached? How about righteous Abram? Didn't he regularly breech the contract? Wasn't he the one who negotiated at every point for special consideration.? 1. When GOD sent Abram out from his family he negotiated to take Lot along. 2. He negotiated for an heir and even disbelieved the promise for a time. 3. He negotiated over Ishmael and Hagar to have special consideration. 4. Abraham even negotiated for Sodom and Gomorra. All the negotiations brought about minutes of amendment to the contract. Abram had accepted the calling out of GOD and then negotiated to cover his breeches or desires to breech the terms of the contract. Seek ye first the Kingdom (rule) of GOD and His Righteousness (law) and all these things will be added. Abram negotiated regularly for the additions. In our family of Trust we begin with a Contract then negotiate for control and special consideration. Often our Trustees are very giving and generous, a little bit like GOD's charity to His people. His Righteousness is every jot and tittle of the law and all His commands. None of these are suggestions or negotiable. HOWEVER, He did by His own acts make it easy and comfortable to take on all His right order of life, His yoke. One Pastor claimed a few years ago that the yoke was the tithe. WRONG. What would the Almighty GOD of all the universes want with paper tribute to dead presidents or usury paper from Babylonian merchant bankers? From before the foundations of the earth GOD had a knowledge and desire for a wholly righteous and moral people. He gave Adam and all his descendants the right to choose life or death, good or evil, blessings or cursing. We routinely choose death, evil, and cursings by our words and deeds, breaching His Contract of Righteousness. GOD wants a people (Israel) who will choose to turn from their wicked ways, repent, and seek His face, headship, rule, order, law, truth, will (Kingdom and Righteousness). What He gets is a bunch of derelict perpetrators who refuse to accept that He is King. And we come no where near accepting Him as the only Living True King and GOD. We are derelict in our duties to our Contracts with GOD and man. We routinely breech our Contracts with GOD and man. And the fools in the pulpit say it's OK to breech the Contract and be derelict so long as you bring them more idols of dead presidents. Yes, I know the reason we are so derelict in our breeches of Contract. We are paranoid about what man might think say or do. Wow! IF we approach truth some news reporter might call us fanatic, zealous, or different. Whom ye fear ye will serve. Now who is that? Man of course. Well then I'm one of those men to be feared. What can the Trustee do if the other parties are derelict in their duties, paranoid of man, and breech the Contract? Why the Trustee gets to work extra hard to make up for the errors of others. The false religion of judeo-Christianity invades the Contact. The traditions of man in things like the rapture doctrine say no matter how bad we act it is all GOD's responsibility to cure. GOD has to rescue us from our own acts and deeds. By your doctrine He has no choice. By your acts and ideas the Trustee has no choice but to do all while you remain lazy, derelict and paranoid. GOD grants us knowledge as the beginning of wisdom. However, the first part of knowledge we reject is that His grant and our acceptance establishes a specific performance Contract. When we fail to perform by that Contract we transgress the law and that is called sin (you will notice that the teaching of smoking, drinking, and some of the other petty pet peeves of Pastors are not included in the Law of GOD to be considered sin, unless they come before your service to HIM. You shall have no other GOD's BEFORE ME, [or in my sight]). When we fail to perform on the Contract of Trust it is called a breech of Trust. We're just trying to follow GOD's example of providing all the knowledge we need to be honorable, moral, charitable, and trustworthy servants. Knowledge is power. Too many believe that in ignorance and dereliction of duty they are guaranteed all the benefits of GOD's Kingdom and the Trust. If you fail to perform the duly assigned specific performance of the law (contract), you are not guaranteed anything but judgment. GOD's judgment is to life or death. Trustee judgment is to pay the price and could be life or death of the Trust. When man judges, it usually has a tithe, tribute, or financial price. The Spirit of GOD by His Contract gives the knowledge and power to succeed and to overcome evil. Knowledge in and about the Contract of Trust also empowers success. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." When you adopted the personal doctrines of you sincerely held beliefs you took on the specific performance requirements in the Contract. You made a requirement to live and perform those beliefs. If you do not have sincerely held beliefs you are in trouble. The order of Christianity with JESUS CHRIST as the righteous King raised from the dead has to be a strict sincerely held belief as foundation or cornerstone of all your beliefs. The change of ownership in the Trust must be a central sincerely held belief for the Trust to survive. GOD is not mocked. He knows exactly what you believe, and how sincere you are in that belief. Does the Trustee know exactly what you believe and how you will act when tested and tried? Are you sincere about the Contract of Trust. Are you sincere about the Covenant of GOD? Some think I'm way too picky about details in the Trust, others think me too charitable and easy. Some think I'm too picky about the Covenants of GOD. Hebrews 6, along with the call and command of JESUS CHRIST our King is perfection. Be ye perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect and let us go on to perfection both suggest we need to and can be picky about these precise details of specific performance (perfection). No we can not earn, deserve or purchase the charity and grace of GOD. And we can probably not earn or deserve or purchase all that the Trustee does for our benefits. Often GOD does nice things for us that are undeserved. Does the Trustee ever try to act out that example. It is impossible to repay GOD for all He gives and deserves. The Trustee is just a workman worth of his hire (and should regularly be paid). Honor in the little things is a good teacher for honor in the larger things. If you are not competent or trustworthy in such a simple thing as a Contract for trust. How is GOD to believe you can be competent in His Kingdom law and order by His Covenant. The little thing is not the obedience to GOD and respect for His order and rule. The little things are keeping our word on all the little details of truth in our contracts with man. It is impossible to be an honorable servant to GOD while breaking our word to man in such a simple relationship as a Contract for Trust. People need to know that you can not just buy your way out. Often we are tested to see if we believe what we say. Too often we are not sincere and it is not real. Religions pretend to be Christian following GOD while playing the love of money game for tithe and offerings. GOD is not fooled, He knows the truth of your heart and mind. The Trustees have to rely on your word and deed. Is your word and deed reliable to be true and sure? How can the Trustee discover truth if you don't tell it? We are not gods, we only try to act in His Righteous order of His Kingdom. Many people are a lot like Abram, always negotiating for some special leeway to have it your way. GOD has limits as to what He can allow you to do in His righteousness. The Trustees have limits as to what they can do or allow and maintain the integrity of the Contract. Unlike GOD the Trustees are subject to mistakes. Our knowledge and ability remain finite. GOD alone has the pleasure and ability of infinite truth and the infinite responsibility that comes along with it. We remain finite and have finite defined responsibility within our finite contract for trust. So we also have a finite limit on our ability to expend the Contract for your comfort zone. Thank you for being upstanding, honorable, trustworthy, diligent, charitable and competent. We regularly choose fear over faith and self over trust and we must repent.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
I first started with JC in 1995 when I began practice. I was swimming in debt and spent a lot of time worrying about the debt along with figuring the overhead. My wife and I lived in a 1 bedroom apartment and drove an old broke down Taurus. I had not been out of debt since I was a senior in high school. My main goal was to be FREE. JC speaks of this frequently when he talks about not being in debt. We started by paying off the 30K in credit cards. We were able to assume a mortgage on a house for not much more than the apartment cost. The car died so we started driving the company car. We focused for the next year and a half at paying off the house. Now we are out of debt, even with the house, just 3 years after we started. It feels as good as I imagined to be out of debt. Our personal overhead is very low and the stress level is even lower. I urge anyone who reads this to listen to JC and get out of debt. I recently spoke to a friend who told me he wanted out of debt. He is doing no tax planning and the next time I spoke with him, he added to his tremendous debt by buying an 11K Whirlpool. He said he needed it to relax after work. My work stress has dropped because now I don't have to worry about a slow week. The next time I spoke with my friend he said that he decided not to use trusts because he doesn't want to lose control, so in turn he pays more in tax than the average person makes in a year. Also he decided that he needed a new boat. The more he earns the more credit he gets and the farther he goes into debt the higher his stress gets, in a few weeks the newness of the boat will wear off and he will still have the payments all the while I am content to pay my $70 electric bill, $40 phone bill and $30 cable bill. Being out of debt is FREEDOM and all it takes is a few years of dedication. Thanks J & J F of SC for the letter, we are more than happy to hear this news. Now more fun time with the baby.
BIRTHRIGHT DEFENDERS SPIRITUAL WARFARE:
In an update on our friend from Florida we see good evidence of Spiritual Warfare. May 6, may become a day of note in these battles. Our friend told the judge he would continue praying for the judge. Then the judge continued the proceedings until June 12. Isn't that wonderful. Prayer works. Sentences in Federal court is dictated by Congressional guidelines and mandates. From the date of conviction it has appeared the judge does not want to impose sentence. But then of course he felt there was no need for this case before the trial. Yes, the judge has a way to do that which is just and proper. This judge can still order a not guilty verdict not withstanding the verdict of the jury or declare a mistrial because of jury or the prosecutions mis-conduct. The question will be whether he has enough conscience to do the right thing. For all you racists this is a Black judge who has worked very hard for his sense of justice. The witnesses to the trial say the judge was shocked when the jury convicted. As a side note the other defendant in the case had a heart attack a week before sentencing. He is not a spiritual man or one of belief and faith. Perhaps all this came about for a chance to bring him to a proper place in spiritual warfare and his opportunity to repent. Often we see circumstances that bring a man or a nation to it's knees. Wasn't there some event that brought you to turn from your wicked ways? Mine was other men's lies. As a child I lied a lot. When I ceased from that wicked way it made me very critical of others who continue in their error. Yes, I'm the same way with smokers. Could it be that Almighty GOD uses federal prosecutors, courts, juries and heart attacks to bring about repentance. He used all the plagues of Egypt; the captivity of Assyria and Babylon; wars and rumors of wars; burning bushes and pillars of fire. Why not the federal courts? Perhaps GOD chose our friend as the spiritual warfare witness to Judge Adams, the co-defendant, the lawyers, or even the bureaucrats. Remember in Spiritual warfare Good always triumphs over evil. Often in carnal circumstance it looks like evil is winning. However, I remind you this temporary collection of toys is all they get. There is no hope or promise of a future. I choose hope and promise. Please remember that the use of carnal weapons for Spiritual warfare is very foolish and off point. Sort of like bringing a bb gun to a nuclear missile fight (but with GOD behind the bb's guess who wins). It is also off point to measure spiritual success and victory by carnal measures. If you are looking for idols to dead presidents as your reward for service to the living King. His Kingdom and reward is not of the hands of man. Seldom has our friend complained of the carnal (idols to dead presidents) cost he has and will pay in enabling his spiritual warfare. Our friend has spent 8 years witnessing to his co-defendant by his just acts and loyalty to his faith. My friend did tell me that I erred in a couple of my facts about the trial. I learned that I had misinterpreted the different reports but those details are not severe or destructive and the issues of spiritual warfare are maintained. On a number of occasions I've mentioned that my friend shakes his head and calls me a brave man. I merely view it as having less reason to fear or being too stupid to know the risks. The carnal costs do not impress me or cause me to fear or compromise. I view this as just an occasion to witness that it is okay to believe in ultimate and complete spiritual victory without fear of carnal prices. Too many lose their spiritual battles and calling while worrying over carnal trinkets and weapons. It would have been the easy path to sacrifice the spiritual calling in pursuit of carnal reward. Even the system recognizes their temporary state and carnal nature. They would be happy to have the spiritual compromised for a carnal plea bargain. Remember the ecclesiastical church of mammon is all carnal. It's black robed priests of commerce and merchant law are all about destroying spirit for carnal pleasures and safety. Our weapons are not carnal. Why should our rewards be carnal? Carnal is temporary and temporal in the flesh.
From the Mrs:
Well I don't know about the rest of you, but we have had a wonderful Spring. So far we have only had one 100° day, usually by this time we are in the triple numbers. They are saying we won't have any for at least this week and weekend (June 13-14 no less). We did finally get our mobile home moved down 8' from the other mobile and we are building a section in between so we will go from 840 sq ft of living space to over 2100 sq ft. With these four, I can hardly wait. Of course it will be slow as we have to keep up with their schooling, business and regular cleaning. Guess you could say our plate is pretty well full. Hope you all have a good summer wherever you are. We hope you are all in good health and if you need prayer just let us know.
