The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Posted: 06/17/2010

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse-The Evolution and Character of Government.   To help man’s brain acquire some comprehension of a world beyond time, God filled the earth and universe with physical parallels to the realm beyond time. When he resided in a physical body, Jesus used these parallels (parables) to explain the world from which he came and conditions on earth not visible to the eye. In the Book of Revelation he uses these parallels to help his people understand the strategy Satan uses to control and destroy people. In the first verse of the book Jesus states the purpose of the book is to reveal to his people the kind of people and systems Satan uses to deceive and destroy all but a remnant of the human race. He specifically says in his message to each church that understanding is attained by “listening to what The Spirit says to the churches.” This eliminates comprehension based only upon reason or observation of physical characters and circumstances. Revelation is not a book about the future it is a book about the now of every generation. Jesus speaks of his coming, not at the end of all time but the many times he comes to the aid of someone needing his help. If Satan can convince you Jesus is only coming at the end of all time, you won’t recognize him when he speaks to you today…and he will speak to you today.   The seals describe the systems and people of government. The first four seals describe the four horses, their riders and their significance and are introduced by four life forms. These life forms are not individual people or creatures, they represent all people and their presence in Heaven is proof of God's ability to get them there via the blood of Jesus. These people may have at one time been used by Satan to form corrupt governments. These in Heaven saw the error of their ways and obtained God's forgiveness. The four horses represent the spiritual force (attitude) that energizes or carries his agenda and the riders represent the means used to accomplish the agenda. The situations are not one time predictions of a future event but are true for every generation of man. The four life forms, representing different kinds of people, are mentioned in chapter five and they give the signal for each horse and rider to enter the scene in chapter six. History reveals the moral standard people use for conduct and decisions sets the stage for Satan to raise-up evil leaders. Evil leaders are spawned from evil, immoral and lethargic people. The life forms are not speaking to John but to the riders of the horses.   Remember, to see the truth presented here you must look past the physical objects and focus upon what the objects represent. When you look at a person you know, you don’t just see a physical body you also see what that body represents. What the body represents is communicated to you by means of spiritual (non-physical) perception.                                             <><>Leaders of Government<><> 6:1-2: I watched as the Lamb opened one of the seven seals. I listened as one of the four life forms, (lion) sounding like thunder said, “Come.” I saw a rider on a white horse with a bow. He was given authority (crown) and he came with forces sufficient to be victorious.   Lion-This is the first life form. This represents the ferocity and strength of Satan (see I Peter 5:8) and the heartless, brutal people who work for him who see destroying life as a reasonable and necessary response to need.   White Horse: This is a symbol of the pride of a conqueror. Pride, the force that rules Satan, is the force energizing (carrying) this evil.   The Rider: The weapon of the rider is a bow, a weapon that kills without sound. This depicts the subtle, soft words of persuasion that convince a person to give his allegiance to a person or cause. The hunter is searching with the desire to find and kill (conquer) “game”, a word that defines some government leaders’ attitude toward citizens. (look again at I Peter 5:8)   Crown: This is a symbol of status and authority. This gives leaders in religion, government and commerce, the three systems Satan uses to control the people of the world, the ability to influence and control. The authority of Satan on earth is seen when he offered control of the earth to Jesus. He gives a portion of the earth, in the form of fame, fortune and power, to people who are too dumb to recognize the cost, then takes it back when he’s finished using them. The bow and crown represent armed authority which is the means used by a government to control its citizens.   Strategy: Continuous aggression until all overt resistance is quelled. Government will tolerate thought as long as thought doesn’t graduate to overt opposition.                                                                              <><>How Government Gains Power<><> 6:3-4: When he opened the second seal I heard the second life form saying, “Come.” Another horse like the first horse was fiery red in color and authority was given to his rider to remove peace from the earth and cause people to butcher each other. He was given a large butcher’s knife         Cow-This is the second life form. This represents people who are dumb and submissive. Professing Christians who are passive concerning evil are a part of this group. The level of intelligence of the cow is such that it is not an insult to call it “stupid”.   Fiery Red Horse: This is a symbol of anger; the force that energizes (carries) this evil. The word “allos” shows this horse is the same kind as the first, i, e, he energizes (carries) an irresistible force. He represents “red hot anger”.   The Rider: His means of removing peace from the earth can be seen in his weapon, a butcher knife. The KJV translates this word “great sword”. It is not a sword but a large knife used to cut meat. It is used to cut a whole beef into small parts so the parts can be separated and easily handled. “United we stand, divided we fall” is a principle well known to Satan who teaches government leaders to “divide and conquer”. To gain victory for themselves government leaders set citizens against each other.   The Strategy: Stupidity, represented by people willing to tolerate evil leaders, and fiery anger, the tranquilizer of common sense, depict the two things needed to cause stupid people, not taught and coached by God, to slaughter each other in foreign wars and at home. Both places require government intervention and control.                                                                                                            <><> Government Intelligence<><> 6:5-6: When he opened the third seal I heard the third life form saying, “Come.” I watched and saw a rider with a yoke in his hand riding a black horse. I heard what sounded like a voice coming from the midst of the four life forms saying, “A day’s rations of wheat for a day’s wages and three day’s rations of barley for a day’s wages. Don’t misuse the olive oil and wine.”   Man: This is the third life form: This represents most of the people of every generation who have potential to think with the intelligence of God but instead, embrace the knowledge of the world and trust their earth-bound brains to tell them what to do and how to live.   Black Horse: This is a symbol of death. The meaning of the Greek word for death is “darkness” which is the primary characteristic of ignorance or flawed knowledge. This is not referring to a dead body because a dead body is not active. This is a reference to ignorance and flawed knowledge which remain active and are the primary reason evil is able to gain control. Ignorance and flawed knowledge is what energizes (carries) this evil.   The Rider: He is carrying a yoke which is the symbol of slavery and servitude. People without skilled knowledge are usually the ones serving others. People who don’t have knowledge of God are the most easily deceived and the most submissive to Satan and the evil of government because they don’t see the difference in good and evil or have the will to resist evil when they recognize it. People with a servant’s permissive attitude are the means for this evil. This is in contrast with the attitude of an informed Christian (see Revelation 5:9, 10).   The Strategy: Enslave the people so all life forms, including people, have to use all their efforts to survive, thereby making efforts to survive equivalent to slavery. Poverty sets the stage for government to become a “savior” who only requires “freedom” as a fee for its services. All four life forms (all the people) judge a person’s value and intelligence by the value of his earnings, making Mammon (money) Lord.  Poverty, in substance, character and faith in God now reign. This is the product of “government intelligence”.                                                                                <><>How Government Power Grows<><> 6:7-8: When he opened the fourth seal I heard a voice from the fourth life form saying, “Come.” I watched and saw a rider named “Ignorance” (death or darkness) upon a green horse who was followed by blindness (without sight-the meaning of the word Hades). Authority was given to them to kill with weapons, famine, ignorant conduct and beast-like people over one fourth of the earth.   Vulture: This is the fourth life form: This word represents either an eagle or a vulture. Since the rider is named death (ignorance), a vulture more accurately represents the action. These are people, especially young people who, like a vulture are constantly looking for something that “stinks” to satisfy mental and physical desires. They reject God’s moral standard as Satan removes all semblance of humanity from them and reduces them to the moral level of dogs. (See Revelation 22:15). Their mental food is filth.   Green Horse: The word for “green” not only means a color but also represents the young life of plants, animals or humans. This is evil energized (carried) by the youth who refuse God’s offer of life in favor of what Satan can give them now. Some naively think the words “I’m sorry” will eliminate the damage done by their foolishness. They are either ignorant of or indifferent to the law of God and nature which establishes this fact, “What a person sows that is what he must reap.” Preoccupation with self makes them a pliable tool for Satan and government.   The Rider: The Greek word used for his name is usually translated “death” but it also means “darkness” or “ignorance” which is a state of death. This refers to mental and spiritual death, the essence of ignorance which, as with Satan, permits the ignorant to remain active as he stumbles around in the darkness of his brain.   Blindness: The word “Hades” translated in KJV as “Hell” literally means “without sight”. Many are ignorant of truth and many others are made sightless to truth by religious, philosophical or personal beliefs which act as a blindfold to truth. Both ignorance and blindness put a person at risk for death in one of the ways listed in the above scripture.   The Strategy: Excuse the evil of the young by persuading them and their parents their evil ways are just a stage all young people experience. When these youths become adults they will condone a level of evil more un-Godly than the previous generation. This process continues evolving downward in immorality, permissiveness and lethargy until God is reduced to a religious teaching and, for all practical human purposes, God is dead. In the absence of God’s authority, everyone feels he has a right to his own opinion. Without God as the designated center point, the billions of circles of human life on earth are continually on a collision course with someone.   These are the systems and people of government Satan uses to capture, control and destroy his victims. It is a challenge to stay focused upon the word and ways of God in such a confused and hostile world. The promises of Jesus to church members in chapters two and three are only for those who overcome. Peter, one experienced in battle with Satan, warned to stay focused and steadfast. The fifth seal tells what can happen to people who live by the words of God and bear witness to Jesus, who, according to God, is man’s only means of redemption. Persecution of Christians has always been done by the authority of Government swayed by the influence of people who don’t know God. Often, as with the Jews, these are religious people who believe they are acceptable to God. Don’t permit Satan and/or your government to use your desires, convictions and allegiances to arouse your emotions and suck you into the quagmire of this world’s beliefs and conduct. Life isn’t a movie. In life scripts are not rehearsed and there are no re-runs.

SODOM-EGYPT-JERUSALEM-AMERICA

Posted: 06/02/2010

SODOM>EGYPT>JERUSALEM>AMERICA   God sent Isaiah to warn Sodom and Gomorrah but history shows they didn’t accept what God had to say to them. Jesus spoke to the Scribes, Pharisees and Chief Priests about the emptiness of their religious ritual. They were as knowledgeable as any about God, more dedicated than most to their belief and had sufficient authority and influence to lead the people to accept God when he spoke through the human body named Jesus. Their moral conduct was the opposite of Sodom and Gomorrah and, unlike Egypt, they possessed facts about the one living God yet, Jesus said the spiritual condition of Jerusalem was like that of Sodom and Egypt (Revelation 11:8).   An accurate comparison of attitudes and conduct would place Washington D. C. and America in that unholy alliance against God. The modern church in America is a mixture of the evil that reigned in Sodom, Egypt and Jerusalem. America's churches boast of scholars to equal the Scribes in knowledge about God, they has rule-keeping zealots as moral as the Pharisee and leaders with enough influence to counsel the President. Almost every religious and political leader in America belongs to a church or religious groups who say they honor God. Ministers assigned the responsibility of echoing the words of God pick and choose words and ways that will increase income and enhance their endeavors without disturbing anyone. The average American parent will gladly sacrifice their children to the cesspools of Hollywood if it means they can become popular or just noticed. Like the people inside Jerusalem in 70 A. D., American citizens are Hell-bent on destroying themselves while their enemy, like the forces of Rome,  waits outside the walls for the carnage to end so they can walk in and take over.   The words of God as spoken through Isaiah to Sodom and Gomorrah and through Jesus to Israel apply to America. The ox knows his owner and the ass his master’s crib but America does not know, my people do not make distinctions. Ah, sinful nation, a people made stupid by evil, a seed of evildoers, children who are disintegrating. They have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of America unto anger; they are going the wrong way. Why should you be stricken anymore? You will continue to revolt because your brain is completely filled with anxiety and your heart is a never ending menstruation. From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it. Instead there are wounds, bruises and oozing sores which have not been closed, bandaged or treated with medicine. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire, strangers consume your land while you watch and it is desolate as though overthrown by strangers.   Hear the word of the Lord you rulers of America. Give heed to the law of our God. To what purpose are the many acts of worship you make to me? I am fed up with your rituals and gifts and take no pleasure in your counterfeit righteousness. When you come to talk with me, for whom do you come? Don’t bring me any more donations. The aroma of your prayers is disgusting to me. Your special celebrations, your weekly religious attendance, your public meetings…I can do without them. Even your solemn meetings are iniquity. I detest your moon controlled celebrations and scheduled feast days. They are a burden to me; I am tired of enduring them. When you lift your hands in prayer I will not look at you. I will not hear your many prayers because your hands are full of blood.   Clean up you ways. Get rid of the evil conduct I see you doing. Stop doing evil things. Learn to do acceptable things. Strive for justice, relieve the oppressed, entreat for the orphan and defend the widow. God is speaking, “Come now and let us reason together. Though you sins are as scarlet they will be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they will be as wool. If you are willing and obedient the land will give you things good for you but, if you refuse and rebel you will be destroyed. This word comes from the mouth of the Lord.  (Isaiah 1:3-7; 10-20)                                                     Kris Doulos  www.krisdoulos.com

OVERCOMING

Posted: 05/30/2010

OVERCOMING: (NIKAO-to conquer, overcome)        Life does not exist because it has no opponents; it exists because it overcomes its opponents. Evil opposes good and the person who wants the benefits of good must overcome the rotting process of evil. Good and evil are the products of words accumulated in the brain. There is a constant battle between these words to see which will rule the person. Like an army, the side which has the most powerful weapons wins the battle and each battle won brings that side closer to winning the war. Satan’s big gun is the lie which is mounted in the desires of the physical body and arrogance of the brain. God’s big gun is truth and God instilled in each person a sensor that detects truth. That person must then choose between what the lie tells him to do or what truth tells him to do.   The Bible contains much truth about God but because that truth must be processed through the carnal brain it is often edited or diluted. God’s Word is the force that created all things so it is reasonable to believe it is able to meet the needs of any person. Satan’s only recourse is to find ways to keep people from learning God’s words written in the Bible, shackle that Word with religious traditions and convince them when God’s voice becomes a conscious thought in the brain, that really isn’t God but a thought generated by the brain. This effectively reduces God to a historical myth or more and denies his existence in the everyday life of people.   Here are statements from the Bible that reflect how Satan uses words espousing evil to rot man’s total being and how God gives clear instructions concerning the necessity of a believer to overcome. God only gives life to those who want life.   Winner takes all: Luke 11:20-22: If I exorcise demons with the finger of God, do you still doubt the kingdom of God has arrived in your presence? When the dwelling of a strong man is guarded by armed guards his possessions are safe but if someone stronger than he comes, he overcomes his fully armed guards and portions out what he confiscates.   The struggle: John 16:33: You will have pressures in the world but rejoice, I have overcome the world. Romans: 12:21: Don’t be overcome of evil but overcome evil with good. (There is no neutrality.)   Romans 3:4: Let God be true and every man a liar, even as it stands written, “So you might be proven righteous with your words and overcome when you are judged.  I John 2:14b: I wrote to you young men who were strong enough to overcome the evil because the Word of God resides in you. I John 4:4:  Children, you are from God and have overcome that which imitates and opposes Christ because the one in you is greater than the one in the world.         When Satan overcame Jesus:             Revelation 11:7: When they completed their witness the beast came up from the depths and to engage them in war. He overcame them and killed them. (These two witnesses represent Jesus when he was crucified by people under the command of Satan.)   The weapon Satan uses to overcome Christians: Revelation 13:7: Authority was given him (Blasphemy-to speak hurtful or critical-criticism) to engage the saints and overcome them. He had authority over every tribe, people, tongue and nationality. (Criticism is the power of Satan that overcomes everyone, including Christians.)   Every person’s choice- the truth of God or the lie of world leaders: Revelation 17:12-14: To be able to rule for a short period of time, the leaders of the world, with singleness of mind, gave their authority and physical power to Satan. They engaged in war with the Lamb and the Lamb overcame them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings and with him were the faithful who accepted God’s invitation to become Sons of God. (The Lamb is the Word of God which empowers people who believe him to be Lords who own and Kings who rule. He neither owns nor rules people who don’t believe him.)   God’s promises to the Christian while is reaping the unsaved:   1.      Revelation 2:7: The person who overcomes will be able to eat from the Tree of Life in the Garden of God. (This is not physical and future but spiritual and current.)   2.      Revelation 2:11: The person who overcomes will not be treated as being unrighteous by the second death. (Only the human spirit can die twice. The first death is when it rebels against the Word of God while residing in its human body and the second death is when it leaves its human body without being redeemed by Jesus.)   3.      Revelation 2:17: To the person who overcomes, I will give hidden manna and a white stone with a new name permanently inscribed upon the stone which no one knows except the person who receives it. (The relationship of a believer with God is not as a part of a group like religion but as an individual child with a personal and unique relationship to the Father.)   4.      Revelation 2:26: The person who overcomes and remains in the assignment I give him will receive authority from me over people of different nationalities. He will shepherd them with strict principles and dismantle the clay fabrications of the potters of the world. (There are no people boundaries for the person committed to sharing the message of Jesus because, like Jesus, he does not dilute God’s Word to accommodate a different opinion.)   5.      Revelation 3:5: The person who overcomes will be dressed in white clothes and his name will not be left out of the Book of Life. I will introduce him to my father and his messengers. (White clothes represent the righteousness provided by the blood of Jesus, there will be no oversight regarding his citizenship in Heaven and he will be introduced by the person of Jesus…WOW!!)   6.      Revelation 3:12: I will make the person who overcomes a pillar in the Holy of Holies of my God and he will never be thrown out nor will he go out. (Holy of Holies represents the Presence of God. Nothing can separate him from that presence and he is not dumb enough to leave on his own.)   7.      Revelation 3:21: The person who overcomes will sit with me in my throne in the same way I sit with my Father in his throne. (The throne represents authority. Imagine yourself with the authority of Jesus.)   The Final Reward -The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).    Revelation 21:7: The person who overcomes will inherit these things (all that God possesses) and I will be his God and he will be my son. (All that a father owns is equally owned by the child who loves him.)   How many are defeated: (Hattao- to make less, inferior, decrease-The method used by Satan and his people to seduce people too weak to stand pat on God’s Word).   Embracing or living by the written words of God may provide confidence for a better standard of living but is not the same as embracing and living by the words God speaks to a person in his daily life. A name that represents some brand of religion indicates acceptance of some theological idea about God or interpretation of Scripture. If the idea only satisfies religious obligation, the Living God remains a mystery. For this person religion becomes an opiate to deaden guilt and fear of death and provide a “hope so” hope that will never find fruition.   Allegiance to God’s Word must be greater than allegiance to loved ones, religious affiliation or any enticement from one’s society. It is only in placing God’s Word above all else that God is placed above all else. A person who does not know what God says about the details of his life will not know how to give God’s words preference in his life. Peter explains how religious teachings and endeavors can temporarily promote thinking and conduct to do good without changing the basic nature of a person. He warns against religious recruiters who substitute good conduct for blood atonement and whose motive is to enlarge their own interests.   2 Peter 2:19-22: People who have a track record of being slaves of corruption are promising you freedom to decrease your self-reliance and control you. If by learning about Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior, you escaped the efforts of the people of the world to rape you, you resume dependency upon them by again entangling yourself with them, you are worse off than before. It would have been better not to have known the way of righteousness than to know and then turn away from what the Holy Commandments gave you. This is comparable to the truth of the proverb, “The dog returns to its vomit and the bathed hog to wallowing in its dung.”

THE JOURNEY

Posted: 02/15/2010

<>THE JOURNEY<> How shall I come before the Lord and bow myself before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings with year-old calves? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you O man what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. The Bible-Micah 6:6-8                                                                 <>THE  DESTINATION<> So live that when thy summons comes to join that enumerable caravan which moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go not like the quarry slave at night, scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained by an unfaltering trust approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams. William Cullen Bryant                                                        <>THE GUIDE<> The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside the still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for you are with me. Your rod and staff comfort me You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Only goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. The Bible-Psalm 23                                                  <>THE DIRECTIONS<> A person cannot know you and be a part of your life until he understands and accepts your words which reveal you and express your wishes. Jesus, who was and is the words of God, said the same thing about understanding God and being a part of his life.   I am the way and the truth and the life. No one has access to the Father except by me. Jesus-John 14:6

The Conduct of a Brat

Posted: 01/14/2010

The Conduct of a Brat   In addition to the many sorrows of the world, one of the poorest of nations experiences the wrath of the natural world in which it lives. At the risk of sounding religious, could we for a moment remember that God placed all of creation under the authority of man? The Bible contains many references of man commanding the forces of nature and even the rotation of the earth.  The instructions of God for morality are not to satisfy him but to enable man to maintain his ability to govern the world in which he lives. The farther man moves away from the ways of God the less he understands who he is and the less he is able to use authority given him by God.   Nature responds to man the way man responds to God. When man acts like a spoiled, self-centered brat, nature follows his example. Spoiled brats, both man and nature, have no sympathy for injury to others, even if they are innocent. Destructions of nature are not signs of God’s wrath or the end of time but the witness of a world filled with evil people bent on destruction. Nature, man’s bratty child, is only doing what it sees its parent doing. A word to the wise is sufficient.    You may respond at kdavoice@aol.com

The Love That Is In The Box

Posted: 11/27/2009

Christmas came...a special day, even strangers wished me well. Everyone had a good word to say and some had a story to tell. The gifts looked great. I got a cap, a shirt, a tie and socks, but the best was not the gifts and wrap, it was the love that was in the box. Some gifts cost money, others cost time, they all are welcome to me.  It doesn't matter if the cards don't rhyme or the meaning is difficult to see. Someone said, "It's the thought that counts," even if the thought is socks. What's important is not the amounts but the love that is in the box. God made a box from his special plan and placed himself inside. The tiny baby became a man and for our sins he died. He alone is able to save and open sin's prison locks. The only key is what he gave...his love that was in the box. Best wishes to you and yours on this traditional birthday of Jesus. Kris Doulos       kdavoice@aol.com

TRADITIONS

Posted: 07/06/2009

Sometimes we hesitate to share our thoughts because we think they might be offensive. Belief based only upon tradition or personal opinion causes a person to defend himself with an emotional bias that reduces the ability of his brain to think objectively. The purpose of the following thoughts is not to offend but to provoke you to objective thought and possibly supply you with a message you can pass along to someone who might benefit from it.                                              T R A D I T I O N S Once a human brain has embraced a particular way of thinking it is extremely difficult for it to listen to any idea which challenges what it has previously learned. What is the source of your learning about God…religious tradition, personal opinion or what God says in the Bible?   Did you learn the religious tradition that Armageddon is a name for an end-of-time destruction or, did you learn the Bible calls Armageddon “The Great Day of Almighty God”? A day begins at sunset. Armageddon does not represent destruction and death, it represents redemption and life. Armageddon began in the darkness of Gethsemane and ended in the sunlight of Calvary. This was the evening and morning of the first day of eternal creation that began the reign of God in man. The light shined into the world darkened by sin and the darkness could not overcome the light. (John 1:5)   Did you learn the religious tradition the word “Apocalypse” also represents destruction or, did you learn the word “Apocalypse” is the first word in the Book of Revelation and means “to reveal”? In Revelation Jesus reveals the strategy his people must use to survive in a world dominated by Satan and Satan’s people. Its message applies to every person of every generation.   Did you learn the religious tradition that presents Revelation as a book of predictions about the future and is too confusing to understand or, did you learn Revelation was given by Jesus to teach his people how to cope in their journey in the womb of time? Revelation reveals the corruption in the church, the wickedness of government and the greed of commerce. Revelation reveals the exile of Satan to earth caused by the crucifixion of Jesus. Revelation distinguishes a Christian from a non-Christian and shows Jesus to be a constant companion of his people. Revelation reveals Heaven, not future of time but above time, existing now. The message of Revelation is relevant for every generation of people in time. It is on Satan’s most hated list of messages from God.   Did you learn the religious tradition that Jesus is coming at the end of time to destroy the lost and take the Saints to Heaven or, did you learn Jesus told the Apostles he would return to them as the Spirit of Truth (John 14:18) and, in fact, returned in his true form (spirit) on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4)? Many say, “I know Jesus lives because he lives within my heart.” If that is true, when did he return? God is spirit and they who worship him must worship him (in) as a spirit and in truth. (John 4:24). Like Adam, before God made him a body, we exist independent of a physical body and its brain.   Did you learn the religious tradition which says the writings of Paul are the perfect words of God because they are a part of the Bible or, did you learn that Paul, though dedicated, was influenced by religious traditions like any other person? Not having the Gospel of John and Revelation, Paul relied upon Jewish traditions and was wrong about the second coming of Jesus in the same way he was wrong about the first coming of Jesus. He contradicted himself and Jesus about a final resurrection.   Did you learn the religious tradition that certain buildings are houses of God where people go to worship him and religious icons and ritual represent God’s presence or, did you learn “The Most High” does not dwell in things made with hands (Acts 7:48) but in a human body which he designed as a residence for a human spirit who can invite God to share his residence. God is not something produced by the brain’s imagination and emotion. The role of the brain is to be the servant of the human spirit and is responsible for proper care of the residence where God and that human spirit reside.   Did you learn the religious tradition that God is unknowable or, did you read Genesis where God talked with Adam as clearly as one person talking to another? Did you learn God can reveal truth directly to you like he did to Peter? God’s willingness to speak directly to a person is the foundation upon which the church is established? Did you learn the key to talking with God is not knowledge about him but trust in what he says to you? God will talk to any person who will listen the same way he talked to Adam and Peter.   Did you learn the religious tradition that every person claiming a right to his own opinion about God, obligates God to excuse his wrong opinion or, did you learn God is a specific and unique being like you and does not change to accommodate someone’s wrong opinion of him any more than you change to accommodate someone’s wrong opinion of you? What God says is who he is and what he does.   Did you learn the religious tradition that sincerity makes a person acceptable to God even if he doesn’t accept the blood of Jesus as atonement for his condition of sin or, did you learn sin is an incurable, terminal disease, infecting every human born into this world and only responds to one antidote. That antidote is the blood of Jesus administered on the frequency of faith. God gave all he had to provide the antidote. The cure is available. The price is self-centeredness and pride. The choice belongs to you and me.   Did you learn the religious tradition that the abyss is a boundless pit in the heart of the earth where Satan will be bound or, did you learn the only boundless, physical thing in time is the human brain where a person binds Satan with the truth of God or is bound by Satan’s lies because of ignorance of and lack of submission to the words of God?   Religious traditions can sedate your brain so you can’t objectively respond to God’s truth. Traditions caused the Jews to crucify Jesus and Paul to persecute Christians. Be sure your faith in God is built upon the words of God and not your or some person’s opinion.                      Best wishes to you and yours,          Kris Doulos

WHY GOD LEFT AMERICA ALONE

Posted: 05/14/2009

WHY GOD LEFT AMERICA ALONE   An oft repeated statement is, “People who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.” Look at the history of God and Israel. When Israel honored God’s instructions they treated each other with respect. When they became immoral and self centered, God stepped back and let them deal with their differences, their problems and their enemies on their own. America turned her back on God and is now having to face her problems and enemies with the retarded reasoning of knowledge instead of the faith in God which made her great.   Leaders who control powerful groups in America have put up smoke screens to hide the real cause of and solution to our problems. People see God as an opinion or idea instead of a real living being. Reducing God to a human opinion provides man with a god limited to the ability of his opinion. Morality is the foundation of any civilization. God gave America a moral code which would protect her people from the destructive forces of immorality and greed but there were too many people who were smarter than God. Satan does not rule by his own power, he rules by getting arrogant, ignorant and naïve people to adjust what God says so, in their minds, God accepts them with all their evil. Because America is controlled by immoral and compromising people, God is not welcome.   The greatest need for America is not protection from her physical enemies. Her greatest need is to repent of her rebellion against God. God doesn’t meddle in affairs where he is not welcome. America has clearly told God he is not welcome in churches, synagogues and mosques which teach a history and philosophy of God and accept emotion, produced by the brain, as the presence of God. America has clearly told God he is not welcome in the education of her children because his name is offensive. America has clearly told God he is not welcome in government because he is opposed to lying. America has clearly told God he is not welcome in commerce because he is opposed to stealing.   One look at the conduct of masses of Americans reveals indisputable proof of how stupid the human brain can become. Faith, a communication frequency that permits access to God, has been taken off the table. Jesus gave the book of Revelation to warn his people of the three major forces (religion, government and commerce) Satan uses to control and destroy people. He told his people to overcome these forces by remaining true to his words and his name. Overcoming is not done by an army but by one person at a time. When religion dilutes God’s words, compromises with evil and is embarrassed by his name, we must recognize this façade of righteousness, embrace God’s words and name and overcome. When government becomes a pawn of money and special interests, we must stand with truth and justice and overcome. When commerce is ruled by greed and power brokers we must refuse to be seduced by Mammon and overcome.   God stands ready to act but he will continue to leave America alone with her problems and her enemies who hate the Bible upon which she was established until she repents of her sinful ways. America’s most dangerous enemies are not without, they are within. They are not invisible. They are the people who use situation ethics to excuse evil and opinion to replace God’s words. The handwriting is on the wall. Can you read it?                 Kris Doulos              kdavoice@aol.com       www.krisdoulos.com

THE WORLD'S GREATEST CRIMINALS

Posted: 08/02/2008

The laws of God are good for man, they help him control his flaws. Yet laws of God are often repealed by the "expedient" use of man's laws. Christian crusaders embraced God's love. Devoted, they believed in God's cause. They slaughtered Muslims for the sake of land with an "indulgence" received from their laws. They said they believed in the Word of God. They preached it as having no flaw, then murdered the Indian and took his land, made "right" by pettifogging the law. The black man of Africa was a means of wealth. "Whites" enslaved each one they saw. Made equal by God, they were treated as chattel by "righteous folks" who distorted the law. 6,000,000 Jews were treated like vermin because they were stuck in Hitler's craw. He snuffed out their lives without mercy and was legal according to the law. What is right is no longer the rule. Lawyers see each weakness as a taw. They encourage a tort then go to church and feel innocent, "excused" by the law. The balm of justice is left on the shelf. Greed and vengeance infect like yaws. Like an addict on drugs, we get our "fix" by suing someone in the court of laws. Lady Justice is ill; her blindfold removed; she's stripped and looks on in the raw. Her once noble way falls prey to a gavel in the hand of an "officer" of the law. God looks on and bides his time while man treads down truth like straw. A day of "judgement" awaits each one who thinks he's exempt from God's law. "My Way" is a shortcut to a place called "Hell" where pain and sorrow tear like a claw. Ignore God's words and eventually you'll hear the unappealable verdict of God's law.  You may respond at kdavoice@aol.com

GIGO

Posted: 07/25/2008

One day I purchased a new computer. It came with a program to fit its need. It permitted me to add my program and gave instructions I should heed. I was amazed at my computer. It reached around the world and beyond. I tried all sorts of things for my delight. To me it was like having a magic wand. Curiosity led me in search of many things which my conscience said I shouldn't do. It is my computer I can do what I please. I soon met problems I never knew. Now I'm hooked on things not good for me. The computer is acting like my boss. I no longer trust what it tells me. It's driving my life toward a total loss. GIGO is a word which describes the way your brain, a computer, responds to you. If you put Garbage In you'll get Garbage Out.It's your equipment.That's all it can do. There is another meaning for GIGO. It is the same process with a better life. Put Goodness In get Goodness Out. You're the programmer. Is it peace or strife? If you want your brain to tell the truth you must program it with truth every day. Feeding your brain with things not true will blind you to life's better way. This is not opinion concocted by someone. It's a law God established long ago. GIGO means what you sow you will reap. Your life proves what God said is so. How do you change a brain filled with junk? You can't do it, you need a geek. The top geek is God; a brain problem solver. Talk to him. Tell him what you seek. Program your brain with the words of God. Avoid junk which does fit fit your need. Your brain gives you back what you put in so, make sure you put in God's seed. Don't let yourself be led into error. God is not ignoring you (turning his face away from you). That which a person sows, this same thing he will reap. If he sows in preference to his physical nature, he will reap moral decay. If he sows in preference to his spirit (a carbon copy of God), from the spirit realm he will receive eternal life. (Galatians 6:7 8)
