Brother Paul’s writing a WHAT?!!

brotherpaul — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:02:30 +0000

Good morning, everybody!

I received an e-mail from a good friend of mine, and I had explained what new project I was working on, and she thought it was interesting.

Now, although I cannot share the details of it, due to potential copyright issues, I can say that Brother Paul is working on a very unique screenplay. When this screenplay is finished, it could very well be a great tool for Christians to be able to explain the TRUTH about Christ.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I think some tele-vangelists are doing all right. But, there are others who are not focusing on the truth. Like I told my friend, I find it bizarre that a Mexican comedian, who usually has very blue humor, is one of the few who got it right about the ending of the Passion of the Christ movie. When everybody else in the theatre was weeping over the death of the Savior, he was standing up and yelling, “It’s okay. He gets to come back in 3 days.”

Too many “preachers” who seem to find a way to turn God’s name into three syllables when they speak this one syllable title for Jehovah, {(as in Go-aaah-duh) I don’t know why they think this makes his name more holy, because it doesn’t. Especially since his proper Hebrew name was more likely Yahweh (pronounced Yaw-way), which is still only two syllables.} seem to focus on the need for money to continue the work of the Lord. Now, I’m not saying that a person who devotes their service to the Lord is NOT entitled to money, as even “the oxen who treads the grain is entitled to eat some of the grain.” But, the focus is usually, not always, in the wrong areas.

First, as James said, “Pure Christianity is this: to take care of the widows and orphans.”

Second, during the old Testament Levitical priesthood, (which went away when Christ died and the curtain to the Holy of Holies was torn in two, thus allowing all to come to God, through Christ as the mediator), the 10 percent was given to the priesthood so they could be taken care of.

Third, buildings for churches (the people ARE the church, not the building) to meet in did not come into existence until sometime in the third or fourth century.

The problem is the focus becomes on the money, instead of the serving of other people.

In Matthew 25, we see that the people that go to heaven, were the ones who waited and served others. Not the ones who necessarily went to church every Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday night. (I’ve always thought it was funny that some considered “faithfullness” being based on attendance to a worship meeting. Worship meetings were designed for brothers and sisters in Christ to encourage one another and lift one another up, not to go and listen to a preacher and say, “Yep, I’m going to heaven for having listened to that preacher.”)

When we look at the “meaning of life” which I’m purposely translating as “the purpose of our life,” it’s to help one another with the skills God gave us.

God instilled in me the want to be a writer. And, if I am to glorify HIM with this power, then I need to write a screenplay that will help bring people to the truth about Christ and why he was sent here for our sins, rather than to use this gift that God gave me to make outrageous sums of money, by NOT focusing on the proper priorities.

When all the registrations are set in place, and I have properly protected this work by copyright, I will probably share more of the details with you.

In the meantime, make it a great day in the Lord!

Brother Paul

Who will sit on the left side of Jesus?

brotherpaul — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 10:48:30 +0000

Hi Everybody,

The answer to the question that I’ve asked is this:

God!

Jesus tells those trying him that they are judging him, but that when they are in heaven being judged, he will be sitting on the right hand side of God! (which puts God on his left side.)

The one thing that many of those who follow “new age” miss is this: if we are not in alignment with the rules of the creator, then we are not reaching the best state that we can.

Paul the apostle talks about “seeing in a mirror darkly” but that when he dies, he shall see things more clearly.

That’s because we are not in tune with “God” inside of us, so we don’t see the reflection clearly. But, when we obey the laws that he set up, (which include not hurting others; not indulging in pleasures that were not intended for us, such as extra-marital sex or worse, affairs; using the talents we were given to help ourselves and others, etc.) we can then reach our inner peace.

That doesn’t mean we won’t struggle. Bad things happen to good people. But, when they do, we can better handle them, if we are in tune with these laws.

No, the list is not all inclusive of all the laws. For that, you should study the Bible first, scholars that are not directly involved with the occult, (such as Wallace Wattles, and religious teachers, of whom I’d like to include myself, if I’m not too bold) and then meditate and pray (not in those loud “Oh Lord, we are so thankful that we are in your presence today and that those whom have missed services should be ashamed that they are not here magnifying your name and wallowing in your holiness, while we who are present here obey your words always, because we’ve been blessed to know the truth” type of way) so that you can be in harmony with what God has created for you.

In this day and age, it’s so easy to be torn away from the important things, and not focus on what matters. Instead of Grand Theft Auto IV, spend a little time with Phillipians and learn how to focus on that which is good and right. Instead of worrying about that Plasma Big Screen, focus on the movie that God has unfolded for you in your life.

It’s a whole lot cheaper and lasts a lot longer.

Make it a great day in the Lord!

The Power Within You

brotherpaul — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 14:54:01 +0000

The Power is within you.

You may not believe that.

But, it’s there.

Now, for those of my readers who are of the
Christian persuasion, this probably leans
more towards your understanding.

But, I’m hoping the rest of you will grasp
it.

In John 4:24, it states that “God is a
spirit.”

Now, unlike Patrick Swayze’s character in
“Ghost”, spirits cannot generally make
themselves harder so that they can interact
with items, like when Swayze’s character
kicked the can on the subway train (or kicked
the bad guy’s can, later in the movie).

But, you’ve seen movies where spirits inhabit
other people to “make” them do things that
they generally can’t. (like all the “Chucky”
movies, where Chucky inhabited a doll, or
like the evil spirit that inhabited people in
the Denzel Washington TV movie, “The
Fallen.”)

So, did God put his spirit IN us?

The answer is simply this: YES.

Now, those of you who aren’t of the Christian
persuasion may understand it as the “power of
the universe.”

But, in Genesis, when God said, “Let US make
man in our own image,” (the US is what some
call the “Godhead” or the trinity of “Jesus,
God, and the Holy Spirit”), and if God is a
Spirit, then what “image” is being referred
to?

The answer has to be “not the physical,” but
rather “the spiritual.”

So, God’s spirit is within us. We have the
power of God within us.

But, to activate that power, you have to LIVE
in alignment with the LAWS that God set up in
the Universe.

Well, what are some of these LAWS?

Let’s examine that.

Number 1: Finding the abilities and skills
that are within you that will benefit others.

God doesn’t have hands and feet to use that
will help others.

So, what does he use?

He uses your hands and feets, and arms, and
legs, and mouth, and, and–

You get the point, don’t you?

We were put here to HELP one another.

But, God gave us the FREE WILL to decide
whether or not we will use those powers HE
gave us through his spirit to benefit others,
or whether we will waste them on our own
lusts.

#2: Don’t judge others.

In the Bible, judgment has been deferred
until the end of this race’s time.

What I mean by race is best left for another
discussion. But, the main point is we are
not to judge others. Because, as is stated
in Matthew 7:1, as we judge others, so we
will be judged.

If people choose to not learn these truths,
it is NOT our (or your) job to CRAM IT DOWN
THEIR THROAT.

All we can do is point the way to the truth
of the power inside us, and let them choose
to use their own skills and abilities to
benefit mankind or waste it on lusts of
themselves.

When we do what is right, the laws of the
universe that were set up by God will benefit
us.

Maybe not on our time schedule, but they will
benefit us, even when we think they won’t.

There’s a lot more to address on this topic,
which eventually I’ll get around to, but as
you well know, I sometimes don’t do things in
the most direct path.

But, I do, eventually, do them!

How about a riddle?

According to the Bible, who set’s on the left hand side of Jesus in heaven?

If I remember, I’ll give you the answer in the next blog!

Make it a great week!

I’m Back and All Over the Place Again

brotherpaul — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 21:34:29 +0000

Sorry, I’ve been gone so long! I’ve been training at my new day job that the Lord gave me! (Great pay, wonderful people, and an opportunity to truly help the customers!)There is one person who knows I go all over the place, and this post is my typical bouncing off the wall self.First, some of you might notice that one of the comments is to a “sex link.” As we keep it a policy to let people post their urls as long as it does not directly link to inappropriate matter, we leave it. I cannot guarantee past the initial page, however, so do not hold us responsible.

Further, if it is your desire to use those type of “toys” in your MARRIAGE, that is your choice. The marriage bed is honorable in all, according to the Hebrew writer.

Back to my usual ramblings: I had an unusual dream this last week. It was me watching myself as a young child bouncing back and forth between two parallel universes. Whatever I took to the second universe, duplicated itself and stayed in the second.

My younger self realized that whenever he messed up in the first universe, he could re-do in the second universe, thus “un-doing” his
mistakes.

But, then my dream self had to stop my younger self and explain that if I didn’t learn how to correct the problem, instead of re-doing it, I could end up “dead” in both universes.

I remember a few years ago reading Dean Koontz’ “Strange Highways.” One of the stories showed this guy getting a chance to solve the problem over and over again. The problem with the story was there was no “out of chances” eminent.

We are all going to mess up. The thing is this: when we do, we have to do our best to compensate for the screw-up, as well as to learn from the mistake so as not to repeat it.

It’s this compensating, or at worst, learning to live with, the error in question that makes us tougher. Just not repeating the mistake IS NOT ENOUGH!

Some may consider this a pretty deep topic, but I think it bears thought. How many times have you not compensated or learned to live with the error when you have screwed-up? Is it causing you emotional scars, or are you leaving someone in pain because you didn’t compensate for the problem?

Just something to think about.

There’s some confusion about “manifestation,” and why people do not always get what they want.

I stumbled across the following in the books of James, chapter 4, verses 2 and 3, that I think might help clear it up.

‘

2You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

I’ve tried to explain before that if you don’t get what you want, it’s because something better is coming. But, now you also need to understand that if you have the wrong motives, you will not get what you want.

It’s about aligning yourself with God’s rules for the universe. Instead of just following your own lust, and spending your money on that, it’s about doing what is right. If the purpose is right, then God will allow it.

I’d love to hear you all’s comments on this one!

Make it a great day in the Lord!

Brother Paul

Bad For Good?

brotherpaul — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 18:00:39 +0000

No, this is not a tribute to Jim Steinman’s song “Bad For Good.”This is about how “bad” things can be “good.”

But, only if you “follow in the way you should go.”

There are a lot of people that believe that
only good happens to those that live in
harmony with the universal laws that God
created.

But, that’s not entirely true.

You are promised that you will not be given
more than you can bear without a way of
escape being provided. You are promised that
all things work together for good for those
that love the Lord.

I have a dear brother in this very town that
has been forced to close his doors on his
business. He presented everything in his
business to God. But, he did not succeed.
Will he make it wherever he goes to? Yes,
because he has given his life to the rules
that are set in motion by God.

Another brother of mine in the Lord just had
to drop out of the Presidential race. Is that
because he didn’t live in accordance with
God’s laws of the universe? Probably not. It
means that he was not meant to be President.
It’s like one of the remaining Presidential
candidates said to the question, “What would
Jesus do?” This candidate’s answer was,
“Jesus wouldn’t run for public office.”

See, the people that believe that only good
can happen believe that God is in charge.
But, God is only in charge when you allow him
to be in charge. And, you can do that by
living in accordance with the laws he
created.

Bad things happen to good people. We cannot
control that. We can only control “how” WE
respond to what has happened.

The story of a man who had bad things happen
to him was told in Job. He was given
elephantitis which created large sores on his
body. His wife and kids were gone. His
business plundered into the ground, all so
that Lucifer could try and prove a point to
God. “Let me mess with him, and let’s see if
he still praises your name.”

Now, granted Job did a lot of whining, but he
never broke the “law” that was in place. He
never once blamed God for his situation, even
when his three “friends” tried to get him to
“curse God” and be done with it all.

He was rewarded with a more beautiful wife
and more beautiful children and a better
business that what he had before.

It’s extremely easy to fall into the trap of
violating your principles and the laws of the
universe for short term gain. Want to make
quick money? Just set up a porn site. Or
promise something that doesn’t deliver and
charge a high price for it.

You’ll get quick money.

But, you will also destroy your
reputation. And, you will never
get long-term reward.

You have got to do what it takes to hold on
to the laws of the universe that God created.
When bad times come, look for the way of
escape.

Let me let a story relay the point that what
you may think is bad is actually good:

An African king had a close friend who had
the habit of remarking “this is good” about every occurrence in life no matter what it was.

One day the king and his friend were out hunting.

The king’s friend loaded a gun and handed it to the king, but alas he loaded it wrong and when the
king fired it, his thumb was blown off.

“This is good!” exclaimed his friend.

The horrified and bleeding king was furious.

“How can you say this is good? This is obviously horrible!” he shouted.

The king put his friend in jail.

About a year later the king went hunting by
himself. Cannibals captured him and took him to their village. They tied his hands, stacked
some wood, set up a stake and bound him to it. As
they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the king was missing a thumb. Being
superstitious, they never ate anyone who was
less than whole. They untied the king and sent him on his way.

Full of remorse the king rushed to the prison
to release his friend.

“You were right, it WAS good” the king said.

The king told his friend how the missing
thumb saved his life and added,”I feel so sad that I locked you in jail.That was
such a bad thing to do”

“NO! this is good!” responded his delighted
friend.

“Oh, how could that be good my friend, I did
a terrible thing to you while I owe you my
life”.

“It is good” said his friend, “because if I
wasn’t in jail I would have been
hunting with you and they would have killed
ME.”

So, if something bad is happening in your
life right now, realize that it is just a
transition to good. And, don’t stop doing
right.

Make it a great day!

Bad For Good?

brotherpaul — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 17:28:07 +0000

No, this is not a tribute to Jim Steinman’s song “Bad For Good.”This is about how “bad” things can be “good.”

Flashy Jewelry. . . Extravagant Parties. . . Gourmet Food. . .

brotherpaul — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 15:45:02 +0000

Okay, many of you are going has
Brother Paul started taking some
kind of drugs that’s turned him
upside down.

Nope.

This is what was featured on a program
that was on one of the cable channels
about a guy that makes a living planning
fancy parties.

He frequently asks for $500,000 up
front to make the party “special.”

I don’t want to judge this guy.

But, I just don’t think that is what we
were put on this earth to accomplish.

There’s nothing wrong with money.

Remember, the proper translation for
Paul, the apostle’s, verse is:

The LOVE of money is the root of all
kinds of evil.

Money needs to circulate to do
good.

And, money needs to be used to
purchase things tht can be used.

But, one of the ladies on that “party”
show, had to be a $300,000 ring to
show off to all her “guests.”

Although I understand Stephen Colbert
of the Comedy Channel is being
facetious, he did make a statement
I thoroughly enjoyed.

“Clothes don’t make the man, Mr.
Calvin Klein. It’s God that makes
the man.”

You were not put on this earth
to impress a lot of people which
how much money you have.

You were not put on this earth
to be God’s gift (body-wise) to
men (or women).

You were not put on this
earth to show how out-
rageous you can be. (I
think I’ve already got a
pretty good corner on
that market, thank you
very much.)

God put a talent or a gift
within you that you can
use to benefit other
people, as well as
survive financially.

It is upon YOU to find that
gift (or gifts) and talent (or
talents, and use it for good.

Then, when you are rewarded
financially, you can buy things
that you can USE.

TV is full of people that abuse
money. One certain celebrity
recently announced she does
not SAVE any of her money,
but spends it on clothes and
whatever she feels like.

And, yet, the public, at large,
is fascinated by this individual
as well as other celebrities
who try to act as outrageously
as they can.

What they really should be
doing is finding their own talent,
and seeing how well they can
help other people.

There’s nothing wrong with
being famous.

I can name a lot of famous
people who were not known
for their outrageous
behavior.

Let’s see, how about
Bill W. of Alcholics
Anonymous.

Mother Theresa

Joel Osteen

Billy Graham

I can even name a
few regular celebrities who
are not known for outrageous
behavior:

Lou Gossett, Jr.

Bill Cosby

Jeff Foxworthy

What’s the point?

The point is this, there’s
nothing wrong with fame.

But, if what you do off-screen
is more noted than what you
do on-screen, then you are
not focusing on your skill.

Find the skill within you
that God put there. Use it
for good.

You’ll find it easily, because
it’s what you desire.

Not, what you lust after.

Lust is only for self-gratification.

It’s evident in the woman who wanted
a $300,000 ring to impress her guests.

Or, the celebrity that had a $400,000
gold toilet.

Desire does good for all.

Look within you, and you will know.

Make it a great day in the Lord!

The Question I Received Recently–

brotherpaul — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 17:10:35 +0000

I got an e-mail from a reader who asked
these questions:

I have been wondering why humans are on
earth – why did we need to leave Heaven?
Were we imperfect – thus not being able
to stay in perfect Heaven?

Was it really the fallen angel Lucifer
that caused the problem? How could
imperfect Lucifer even be created by
God?

We are created by God – surely no other
human or animal created mankind. 2007
Science is in the stone ages compared to
what God has created billions of years
ago. But are humans a perfect creation
of God or are they imperfect
necessitating earth for learning
purposes?

The whole idea of being on earth seems
ridiculous to me – why not just be in
Heaven. Is there reincarnation or
recycling of souls to earth after death
of the body? Some religions believe we
come to earth millions of times to
slowly learn the Laws of God until
wefinally pass and then we can end the
Wheel of Karma. Do you believe this? But
it seems that most humans are totally
unaware of what’s going on spirituallyin
the world and mostly concerned with
accumulation and material comforts.
Do you have some straight forward
answers to these questions?

Any assistance in these matters would be
greatly appreciated!

______________________________

The person who sent me that e-mail is
wise in that he is looking for answers.
He realizes that only GOD could have
created us. (Even Darwin realized
that he was probably wrong before
his death.)

Do I have those answers? I’d like to
think so.

Part of the problem is that there are
some tv ministers who want to make you
believe that things are complicated, and
only they can help you come to
a relationship with our maker.

Some of these answers may shake
your faith as to what you believe you
know. If so, then be blessed.

First, I believe we are not the first that
have inhabited this planet. And, we most
likely will not be the last.

If you read the Hebrew closely, it truly
says: “and the earth was made void,” not
“and the earth was void.”

That means that something was here
before us. Possibly the dinosaurs?

And, you can also read in Matthew, “this
generation shall not pass away, until
all these things” when translated
properly should read: “this race shall
not pass away, until all these things”
So, we are just one of probably many
races that have and will inhabit this
earth.

In Revelations, we are told that “a new
heaven and a new earth” will arrive. So,
heaven, as God has intended for us has
not yet been completed. Even Christ told
the apostles, “I go to prepare a place
for you. If it were not so, I would have
told you.” If Jesus had to go and
prepare a place, it means it wasn’t
ready.

So, then why did God put us here?
God brought us here to worship him and
so that he could enjoy seeing those who
have learned the truth, which is to help
one another.

If you will notice, each person has
their own unique talents which they
excel at. Some avail themselves of these
gifts, others put them to waste, and
others still never figure it out.

Lucifer was not the problem, originally.
But, being God, he wanted people and his
very own angel creations to worship him
through free will.

Lucifer chose not to follow that path,
but imagined himself greater than God!
So, he convinced a third of the angels
to follow him.

Lucifer’s first hope was to corrupt the
perfect creation of Adam and from Adam’s
rib, Eve, to try and lead that rebellion
away from God.

You see, Job’s story happened prior to
Moses and probably even Abraham. And, so
Lucifer wanted to prove to God that God
was not as good as HE believed he was.
Which is why all the horrible things
happened to Job. But, Job won out by
praising God and waiting for the good
things to come.

I believe it was somewhere around here
when Lucifer truly began to depart fully
from his creator.

When Christ was in the tomb, before
he arose,he chained
Lucifer. (That doesn’t mean that if you
don’t get to close, that Lucifer can’t
get you. It’s like teasing a rabid dog
on a chain and getting closer and closer
until he is able to bite you.)

Paul says that we are but a mist that
appears and then vanishes. He also
states it is “appointed for man to die
once, and then the judgment.”

No, I don’t believe that we get to come
back again and again and again until we
get it right. We are supposed to strive
to learn the first time. Sadly, not
everybody pays attention to this. And,
even more sadly, the fact that some
people think it’s okay, because they’ll
get the chance to get it right later,
because of either reincarnation or
purgatory.

When I talk about aligning yourself with
the universal laws, I’m referring to
“getting right with the way God meant us
to be.” We should help one another by
doing what we do best. If it’s
carpentry, mechanics, teaching, music,
or whatever, it is because God put those
skills within that person. They were
meant to be used to help others. Wallace
Wattles stated that it was God playing
through that person’s skills.

You are right that most people don’t get
these teachings. They focus on “self,
self, self” instead of “helping others.”
They flock to the latest news about the
latest celebrity who acted up, instead
of focusing on teaching their kids to
get in alignment with God’s laws of the
universe.

I’m sure that some of this will need
clarification, but hopefully, it has
started to help you understand the
straightforward answers you are seeking.

Make it a great day in the Lord!

Brother Paul

______________________

Since I wrote this, I have begun
studying some of the books that
were not “included” in the final
cut of the Bible.

In The Wisdom Of Solomon, it
states that wisdom will not
come to those of malicious intent.

I think the actual translation would
probably read that wisdom will
not come to any deed of
malicious intent.

I have seen people that are
malicious in their intent– and
yes, some of them even proclaim
to be ministers– that have
stated some very “wise”
things.

Everybody thinks that they will
get to heaven, either
because of the “reincarnation”
or “purgatory”, or because
they”ve suffered in some
way or some other
justification.

But, that’s not necessarily
the truth. By avoiding
being malicious, and
helping others, we
have the best hope
to reach heaven.

When I talk about
aligning ourselves with
the principles of the universe
that God set forth, I’m talking
about focusing on what
is right, pure, and helps
others–not on cleverness
or even knowledge.

I encourage anyone that
has questions that does not
wish to post them via
comment to drop me a line.

As you can see, I ain’t afraid
of the tough questions that
some scholarly ministers
might avoid.

Make it a great day in the Lord!

Brother Paul

A gift that saves lives and the truth about Christm–

brotherpaul — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 17:45:15 +0000

Hi everyone,

Before I wish you a happy holiday season,
let’s discuss the truth behind this season.

Now, realize that there is a good message
about this season at the end of this, but I
just want to explore the truth first.

First, Christ was most likely born in March
or April, not on December 25th, as some would
have you believe. On top of that, he was
probably born 6 years prior to the
traditional 0A.D. that many believe to be the
year he was born, and how we mark our modern
calendar.

Second, the day that we celebrate is based on
pagan beliefs. The tree comes from druidic
religion, which worshipped trees. The date
that Christmas is based on the winter
solstice, and that date coincided with the
celebration of the god of the sun, Sol. This
celebration merged with the merriment of the
celebration of the dedication of the temple
built for the god, Saturn. The Saturnalia
was based on role reversals of slave and
master, where the slaves derided their
masters for being slaves to their
possessions. This then turned into a day of
merriment, very similar to what we claim
Christmas is supposed to be about.

Third, and this I believe is the most
important, Christ only got three gifts. Gold
was the most valuable; frankincense was used
in religious ceremonies as incense; myrhh had
healing properties that cleared
uncleanliness, like mucus, from the body.
Nowhere does it state that Christ ever
received any other gifts from his earthly
parents, until Mary takes some expensive oils
and cleans Jesus’ feet.

So, all in all, Jesus only got four, count
them, four presents in the entirety of his
life.

He didn’t get games, toys, or things of no
use. They all held great value, and they
either had a direct relation to wealth or
health.

So, why the rant? Does Brother Paul hate
Christmas so much that he has to mention all
the things that make this holiday wrong.

Not really. I enjoy Christmas time. But, not
for the reasons that all the commercialists
would have you believe.

You see, somebody punished their son, whom he
caught smoking dope, by selling the copy of
Guitar Hero III, that he bought for his
dope-smoking son, for $90, to somebody who
was having difficulty locating this
much-sought-after game for $9,100. Why?
Because, television would have you believe
that if you don’t get your kids the most
popular toy, you’re a bad parent.

Well, then, why don’t I just become a member
of the religion that doesn’t celebrate
holidays.

Because, the very word, “holiday” means “holy
day.”

Holy days were when the priests of the Old
Testament used to sacrifice animals to the
most high God, and then everybody would
“feast” and enjoy eating with each other.

So, since we mistakenly put Christ into this
particular holy day, then let’s remember this
time as a holy day. A day where we can come
together with friends and loved ones and
celebrate that Jesus came from God to give us
the ultimate gift, a shot at eternity with
our heavenly maker, God.

So, make your suppers, your feasts, and enjoy
the holy days with your loved ones.
And, quit worrying about what the
commercialists would have you believe what
Christmas is about.

Wishing you the best of this holy day season!
(Make it a set of great holy days in the
Lord!)

P.S. One of your fellow readers wanted to share this
with all of you.

It’s a sad state of affairs that some men choose
to not treat women as the weaker vessel, but
there are those who do harm women to give
themselves what they believe is “power.”

So, Ms. M. Dunphy has chosen to share with
all of us some secrets that women can use to
protect themselves. For convenience sake,
I’ve put it into PDF format and made a download
page for it.

You can either forward the PDF, or just share
the download page with everybody that is
a woman, or cares about a woman. (And, hey,
we all got mothers, right!)

Here’s the page, and the USEFUL gift that Ms.
M. Dunphy has chosen to share with us:

Power of saying, “Thanks!”

Hi everybody,
Got an interesting post in the comments that I
thought should be posted in the blog. It read:

Here is a video from another brother that I found
interesting.

RALSTON “SKEETER” HEATH

Note to all: By using “AT” instead of the symbol
you can defeat spammer software that looks for the
“AT” symbol. Try it you’ll like it

So, let’s examine this.

If you show that you are grateful, as I mentioned
in “Keys To The Universe” and Wattles mentioned in
“The Science of Getting Rich,” you can continually
receive blessings.

But, more than that happens. By showing your
thankfulness, you are creating a positive energy
flow that allows the blessings to continue.
Wattles referred to the Apostle Paul’s scripture
of “pray without ceasing.” And, he defines that by
holding in your mind the vision of all that you
have received, even from corrupt politicians and
businessmen, who have progressed us to the point
we are, as well as being thankful for the things
you desire that work for good.

In addition, by showing your thankfulness for all
you have received, you suddenly become aware of
all that you have, which oddly enough makes you
suddenly aware that you are “richer” than you
thought you were.

Which then opens up the door to receiving even
more blessings.

Kind of like an eternal cycle, isn’t it?

And, the source of that cycle is God. God gives
to you, you give thanks back to God, so he can
give you more.

What an amazing eternal “positive energy” is
created through this method!

Make it a great day in the Lord!

Brother Paul

P.S. We haven’t grown. Did I make it too difficult
to refer to five other people just to receive the
audio?

Here’s the link, again:

http://www.brotherpaul.net/tellafriend/index.php If you will tell five people (they don’t even have
to sign up, but if they do, they can get the same
thing), then you get the audio in MP3 format for
free, which means you can download it, listen on
your computer, or create a CD or copy the MP3 to
your MP3 player so that you can hear it anywhere.

If it’s too tough, let me know, and I’ll see if
there’s another way that we can spread the word!
