The True definition of agency is simply: The ability to do good.

It is a fruit of the Lord’s atonement. There is nothing negative about it. Everyone has Choice, even the adversary, for he chooses how to carry out his purposes. He wanted no agency, therefore he denied himself that privilege. We all get what we want. Let us all be better agents with our agency, to act, and not be acted upon.

Mercy, Grace, and Agency

“We cannot earn our blessings, simply because we are not able to do anything good without Jesus Christ. His blessings come after we do our part, yes, but it is only by His grace in the first place, that we can do these things.

First, His mercy stops our downward fall, offering us the gift of repentance, which is another fruit of the atonement. Then, His Grace, our great enabler, gives us the ability to do good and move forward. Truly then, everything good comes from God and Christ.

Finally, when at the judgement bar, after all our very best efforts, coupled and performed with Christ’s grace, it is still not enough. We are then only blessed and saved by the grace of Jesus Christ, as we are accepted of our Father, as Jesus Christ pleads our case before Him.” Hence the prophetic quote, “…we are saved by grace, after all we can do.”

Being Prepared – Self, vs. God Reliance

“All blessings, temporal, spiritual, emotional, mental, intellectual, social, physical, and financial, come from God. Acknowledgement of Him in all these things is of utmost importance. For as we exercise the truth of gratitude in our relationship with Him, our lives will improve, and our blessings will flow. We must not forget to rely wholly on Him, in the pretense of being “self-reliant,” for all good things come from Him, and not from ourselves.”

Earth, Time, & Good vs. Evil

“Our mother earth was created to save and exalt mankind. She is our foundation. Her battles against sin, war, and pollution, are as real as ours. Her works and fruits, are a testament of her love and praise for us, and God. Praise be to our God and our Mother Earth, Eden, and all our Lord’s creations upon her, for were it not for these, we, nor the atonement, nor the plan of happiness, could ever be brought to pass. Praise be to our Father God, and Savior Jesus Christ, for organizing this most marvelous plan of exaltation. For their loving grand design, upon our mother earth, and of having father time as the great separator, and Jesus Christ as our Holy Savior, within the safety of our wonderous probationary journey.”

The Worth of Souls, Eternal life, and Exaltation

“You are of unprecedented worth and value! Your life doesn’t just matter, you are central to God our Father’s plans, works, designs, and blessings for His children, and righteous purposes. Your eternal life, exaltation, families, and glory are more majestic, resplendent, dynamic, and wondrous, than you can even possibly imagine! You will be like God, living His lifestyle! How unspeakable shall be your blessings!”

Personal Revelation

“The three P’s of Revelation: Preparation, Pondering, and Prayer. Be spiritually ready to receive revelation, by living the Lord’s commandments. Allow quiet moments for the Gift of the Holy Ghost to work on, and qualify your heart and mind to be ready to receive your answers. Then, specifically ask for the things you need, and the answers to your soul. The Lord will bless you, and answer you in the way and timing, and in the right way for you.”

Symbolism vs. Symbols – To Teach The Ready

While it is true that symbols can help teach people things according to their readiness, it is also true that symbols, although meant to teach the truth using symbolism, it is also true that at the very center, core, and reality of these truths, which are given symbolically, is the very, actual, and literal truth.

My Life Triumph

With God, All Things Are Possible

Before the barriers between God, Jesus and me were removed, I carried the stresses of all those around me, starting at age 21, through means of being an absorber. This is as a result of having a poisonous substance injected into the roof of my mouth at age 17, by servants of the enemy, which caused four of the most severe of mental illnesses and brain damage to occur. Pre-accompanied by these, were traumatic psychological, physiological and abusive mind changing experiences I underwent at age 3, and 6.

From the time of the second abuse at age 6, to the event which caused this condition and phenomenon at age 17 in the first place, I experienced much negative “programming,” which caused me to learn and take on the ways of the adversary, to my dishonor and utmost personal shame.

Because of all the issues caused by this, I had, although unavoidably, put up barriers between me and deity, through choices as a child. Having suffered these when I was age three, six and seventeen. At age 6 I was told by the Holy Ghost from God that, “You are of utmost importance to my plan and kingdom here on the earth in these last days. If you allow me, I’ll make all these things better for you.” I then told Him, “But you weren’t there for me! Go ahead and try to do it without me!”

Several things occurred from these indignities. I later acquired the four major mental illnesses, brain damage and other majorly complicated, insane, disturbing, emotional disturbances and baggage, all in a contorted cocktail of difficulty, which compounded, and made life very difficult indeed.

With all of these things on top, plus the negative programming and mental illnesses, this made for a Satanic “lock,” and Godly “quest,” to somehow survive and begin to thrive, through all of these compounded struggles this caused.

But this wasn’t all. During the evil abuse at age six, which I was miraculously able to survive alive, among the several torture methods used during these ritualistic abuses, I had also been cursed with three majorly evil curses, which were only able to be removed during my two years of service inside the La Jolla, San Diego, California, Latter-Day Saint Temple, of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, during my two year service mission as a young adult, when I was age 24-26.

Also, having these four mental illnesses, evil spirits had a greater access to me, with the ability to harass and torture me directly, which they did so.

With all the previously outlined layers, emotional, physical, mental, social and lack of healthy outlets and life skills, plus the mental illnesses, plus these causing evil spirits to have a greater and direct access to me, all working against me in the very worst of ways, trying to recover was an all out war.

Life’s challenges were all compounded. Plus, I never had the connection of family or friends, because I was too much for them to relate to, so, I had God. All of these things twisted in the most horrendous of mixes, made life very difficult for me, although I was misunderstood by all, howbeit, I was the source of inspiration to my family, helping them to move on, regardless of how they felt about me. I prayed for them, and shared my light with them and worked with them to improve in their personal lives.

How? Because I had God. God stepped in and said, “This is My son, he’s not being taken care of. I will do it!”

God then came down from Heaven, and carried me out of personal destruction, and pulled me back to His light. He carried me in a wonderfully, powerful and amazing way, which is beyond mortal comprehension.

A little history of this instigating, Satanic “family’s” interactions with me:

Having been sucked into this “family” through their two boys, with fantasy and toys, and having been emotionally tied in to them because of the ritualistic abuse I suffered at age six, I tried to make friends with the enemy, thinking that in trying to fix them, I could also fix myself.

Not even remembering the abuse until I was at age 21, when my brain was more stabilized on medication, I had still felt that something was wrong, and this cycle of me trying to make myself well by changing them, is one of the reasons these cults abuse children this way in the first place. They know this phenomenon is very real, and it causes their “victims” to stay, and keep coming back to them.

Finally, at age seventeen, when my bishop told me he had angels speaking to him about me, I decided I needed to make the break away from them, still realizing that I was too much for my own family to handle, but seeing this as the better alternative for me, I did so.

Yet having been lured back over one last time to say goodbye at age seventeen, and to in and of myself show them that I was stronger than them, I was then knocked out through something they gave me in drink, and I was given through injection into the roof of my mouth, a poison which was intended to kill me.

Immediately on my way walking home, I felt my mind descend deeper and deeper, even until I arrived at home, wherein my mind was in utter darkness, even at all the resistance I tried to put up to stop it from doing so.

Since my recovery of life from age 21 until now, being the 24th of July 2020, I had in essence tried living for the Lord, without Him, a very hard road indeed, and this is how I’ve had to live and function, after the choices I made, to live a more separate life from God’s grace and relationship. For I hated God for what I went through, but He still helped me, despite this anger. It was the Lord I despised most, but He was also willing to help me anonymously, until I could love and forgive them both.

Because of this, and not having the coping resources, I cut off in measure, an open, clear and direct correspondence between God and myself. I’ve had to not only bear my own griefs and stresses, because of all I’ve been through, but also with this added type of separation, as well as my dilemma as outlined earlier, and because of other laws and influences which exist and that be in motion, both good and bad, I also had to, by means of my mental illnesses and thinner veil, bear the weight of all things, pertaining to God’s plan for me, and my role therein.

This, as well as of all those around me, as was stated, howbeit, Christ did carry me, even at the peril of my non-acknowledging relationship with Him. This at the bitterness of my own soul toward His, for at those times, I hated Him.

My help, although from Him, came at the hand of the Father, because I would not accept the Savior as a being in my life, but the Father I would.

As someone once explained it to me, this type of absorbing other’s stresses is a condition known as being an Empath, which I know I am. This has been an extremely exhausting, rough and unbearable road and route to go, but necessary for me somehow.

As of today, I have been changed and have forgiven my Savior and Father, for even though my life had to play out this way, even a tougher road than imaginable, I realize that I have been in the wrong, in not loving them, and have come to accept and love Them, regardless of the pathway they chose for me to tread, howbeit I chose to agree to this life.

This is, and can be a great blessing for me, and I would not have conceived it possible, but I’m glad that now that I’m in Their direct care, and not “my own” anymore, I can have inner peace.

The Brimstone and Burning Defined: Part Two

Our God is a Perfect, Loving, and Fair Father

The atonement and its coverage is infinite and eternal, and covers everyone with certainty through spiritual underpinnings. Yet for one to make the highest kingdom and glory, namely the Celestial Kingdom, or highest Heaven, the gospel must be learned, accepted and lived, including faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, and becoming a member of Christ’s covenants and Church upon receiving the confirmation of The Gift of the Holy Ghost, and then truly living thereby. However, those who do make it to the Celestial Kingdom, will only do so, by the Lord pleading our case. For in this, there is true joy and peace.

There is forgiveness in the life hereafter, for those who have as yet not been taught by the servants of the Lord about their Redeemer, and His gospel plan of happiness. For there is much preaching and teaching taking place in the spirit world, where those who have passed, are awaiting their resurrection. But for those who have had ample understanding and have been pricked in their hearts to know the truth, but have not lived it, and have knowingly rebelled, these are they whom are sent to outer darkness, where there shall be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth.

All of these, who have not partaken of repentance, will spend some time in this place of cleansing, known in The Book of Mormon as, Outer Darkness. This is where one will truly be purified, although not in an easy way. It will be through the fire and brimstone burning process, wherein their Spirits will be burned clean. Then, they will be sent to the kingdom of glory most suited for them, either the Terrestrial, or the Telestial. This is according to how they lived their life, with what they had, understood, and felt. They will also be judged according to the desires of their hearts, so Jesus’ atonement will always have a good effect.

Once those who have suffered in Outer Darkness have been fully cleansed, they are free to leave and receive either the second, or third resurrection, according to which ever Kingdom of Glory they will be restored unto. Either the second resurrection unto the Terrestrial Kingdom or the third resurrection unto the Telestial Kingdom.

All who enter into this place of Outer Darkness shall leave, except for the sons of Perdition, and Lucifer and his devils, or fallen angels. The sons of Perdition are those who fully knew the Lord in this life, and His love and grace completely, and then knowingly and purposely chose Lucifer over Jesus Christ (this will be very few in number), of which it is said, it were better for them to have not been born. These, along with Satan and his devils, will remain in the burning and brimstone of outer darkness, until they are fully clean and called up on the marvelous day of reconciliation, when ALL God’s children will be called up unto the next eternal life, of again another first, second and third estate, or, pre-earth, earth, and post earth life, in a higher phase of existence and eternal progression.

Lucifer will then, as in the story of the prodigal son, come to himself, and work his long way back to the Father’s house. By then, he and his followers will have been understood for their role in helping us acheive our eternal life, and will have been fully forgiven by all. He and they will then be able once again, to move forward in the eternal plan of progression for all God’s children. He in fact, at this time, needed to go through the experience of utter and total rebellion, to be able to see for himself that, he did everything that could have been done to destroy God’s plan, and it couldn’t be done. And now being clean, he will start over in his progress and relationship with God and his fellow man.

Grace, Salvation & Judgement: Part Two

Without Faith, It is Impossible to Please God

When we first approach God to be judged, it will be a first judgement, to be sent to a temporary place, where we will either be taught the gospel, if we had never learned it on earth, where we can accept it, repent, and be given the power of deliverance. Or, if we had the gospel and were good, we will be teaching those who did not have the gospel. We will each be exactly as we were spiritually and mentally before we died, so that even as we accept the gospel in this next temporary state, we would then need the ordinance of baptism, as well as further ordinances, to be fully be endowed to enter into the presence of God. We will all face Christ, and see ourselves exactly for who we are.

This is so because as Christ is the “true mirror,” which means that our true self will be reflected back to us, in the image and countenance of Christ, we will see ourselves for who we truly are. We will look on Him, and see our standing, and know either compassion, kindness, love and refinement, or separation, sorrow, sadness and disappointment.

However we have been on our mortal sojourn on earth, with the understanding, light and truth we incurred and was made available to us, the justice, mercy and grace of God, will on the fulcrum and balance scale, will determine our salvation, and the extent thereof.

The Brimstone and Burning Defined: Part One

What We Need To Understand

This post is not about fear or indignation. It is about insight and education, as to the definition of “eternal damnation,” and “fire and brimstone,” as referred to in the Bible and Book of Mormon.

In The Doctrine and Covenants, which is additional scripture found in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (sometimes called the Mormon Church), we find an interesting passage, which gives insight about the nature and experience of what it means to suffer for one’s own sins in the next life, if not repented of through Jesus Christ, having first been given fair chances to do so, and yet refusing to.

In The Doctrine and Covenants 19:16-19 we read:

16 For behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent.

17 But if they would not repent they must suffer even as I;

18 Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit—and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink—

19 Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men.

Now, it is written of, and further explained in The Doctrine and Covenants, what endless/eternal torment/damnation means. See below in, The Doctrine and Covenants 19:6-12

6 Nevertheless, it is not written that there shall be no end to this torment, but it is written endless torment.

7 Again, it is written eternal damnation, wherefore it is more express than other scriptures, that it might work upon the hearts of the children of men, altogether for my name’s glory.

8 Wherefore, I will explain unto you this mystery, for it is meet unto you to know even as mine apostles.

9 I speak unto you that are chosen in this thing, even as one, that you may enter into my rest.

10 For, behold, the mystery of godliness, how great is it! For, behold, I am endless and the punishment which is given from my hand is endless punishment, for Endless is my name. Wherefore…

11 Eternal punishment is God’s punishment.

12 Endless punishment is God’s punishment.

In summing up the above stated scripture, the punishment itself is not endless, or never-ending, but rather, it is describing the type of punishment given to be from God who is endless, therefore, it’s Endless’ punishment.
